BITZIO, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Bitzio, Inc. was originally formed as Rocky Mountain Fudge Company, Inc. (“the Company”, “we”, “Bitzio”) on January 4, 1990 as a Utah corporation. On July 28, 1998, the Company converted from a Utah corporation to a Nevada corporation. Effective June 10, 2011, the Company changed its name from Rocky Mountain Fudge Company, Inc. to Bitzio, Inc. Pursuant to this transaction, shares of the Company’s common stock are now trading under the Company’s new trading symbol, BTZO. Bitzio is focused primarily on smartphone applications.

 

On July 27, 2011, Bitzio, Inc. and Bitzio, LLC entered into a share exchange agreement wherein Bitzio, Inc. issued 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 100% of the members’ equity of Bitzio, LLC. Through this transaction Bitzio, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bitzio, Inc.

 

On November 9, 2011, Bitzio, Inc. and Thinking Drone, Inc. entered into a share exchange agreement wherein Bitzio, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Thinking Drone, Inc. Bitzio, Inc. received all of the outstanding shares of Thinking Drone in exchange for a $500,000 promissory note and 5,000,000 shares of Bitzio, Inc. common stock. Through this transaction Thinking Drone, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bitzio, Inc.

 

On May 23, 2012, Bitzio, Inc. and Motion Pixel Corporation Holdings (“MPC”) entered into a share purchase agreement wherein Bitzio, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding member’s equity in exchange for 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to a Termination Agreement executed on February 14, 2013, Bitzio agreed to return 100% ownership of MPC stock purchased on May 23, 2012. Other terms of the agreement include: neither party shall have any further obligations to the other; all stock options granted to all employees, consultants of MPC and the original vendor shall be deemed void; and in full settlement of any other claims, we agreed to allow the 6,500,000 shares of the company from the initial agreement to remain in possession of the holders subject to resale restrictions.

 

On June 4, 2012, Bitzio, Inc. and ACT entered into a share purchase agreement wherein Bitzio acquired all of the issued and outstanding member’s equity in exchange for 3,300,000 Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred shares of the Company. On February 22, 2013, the two parties agreed to unwind the transaction by Bitzio returning the ACT shares acquired and ACT returning the Bitzio preferred share consideration for cancellation. In addition, Bitzio agreed to pay an aggregate of 147,000 Euros ($194,447 USD) to ACT.

 

On August 31, 2012, Bitzio entered into a sale agreement wherein Bitzio disposed of the assets and liabilities related to its information productions division.

 

On April 4, 2013 the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Thinking Drone LLC to a third party. The transferred business and assets of Thinking Drone LLC have been presented as discontinued operations in these financial statements, with a gain shown on disposal of discontinued operations. After the sale of this subsidiary, the Company shifted its business strategy toward a fashion incubation model. This strategy was led and has been maintained by Gord McDougall of Tezi Advisory, Inc. and by Hubert Blanchette the company's CEO.  

 

On May 14, 2013, Bitzio signed a Letter of Intent regarding the Company’s proposed acquisition of Tech Hollywood. Bitzio intends to acquire Tech Hollywood for a purchase price consisting of approximately 80% of the Company’s fully diluted common stock. The closing of the proposed Acquisition will be conditional upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to secure certain financing arrangements and completion of a capital restructuring—including converting certain of its outstanding securities and obligations and the authorization of additional shares and divestiture of certain operating divisions—as well as Tech Hollywood’s acquisition of Looking Hollywood Corp. 

 

On July 25, 2013, the Company determined that it was going to be unable to obtain the necessary financing to complete this proposed transaction and has cancelled its agreement with Tech Hollywood.

 

On July 25, 2013, Bitzio, Inc. appointed Hubert J. Blanchette to its Board of Directors. From 2006 to present, Mr. Blanchette has held the position of Director of Skipjack Dive & Dancewear Inc., and from 2003 to present has held the position of Director Chronic Car Audio Inc. Mr. Blanchette was added to the Board of Directors because of his experience with turn around management.

 

On July 25, 2013, and subsequent to the appointment of Mr. Blanchette to the Board of Directors, Peter Henricsson resigned as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of Directors. There was no dispute between Mr. Henricsson and the Company’s management.

 

On July 25, 2013, Gordon McDougall, as a member of its Board of Directors, nominated Mr. Blanchette for the positions of President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board. The board approved the nominations and Mr. Blanchette accepted to acting as the Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board for Bitzio.

 

On July 25, 2013, and subsequent to the appointment of Mr. Blanchette as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Gordon McDougall resigned as the Company’s Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, and from its Board of Directors. There was no dispute between Mr. McDougall and the Company’s management.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 11, 2013.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

In June 2011, we effected a four-for-one forward split of the shares of our common stock. All references to common stock activity in these financial statements have been retroactively restated so as to incorporate the effects of this stock split.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the recognition of certain, valuation of intangible assets, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, stock based compensation, loss contingencies and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We derive our revenues from the sale of software and mobile applications through various platforms. We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery of the product or provision of the service has occurred; (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

 

Mobile Phone Applications

 

Mobile phone applications are sold using multiple platforms. Each platform handles the sale, distribution or download, as well as the collection and remittance of payment for the Company. We recognize mobile application revenue net of the amounts retained by the platform companies. There is no warranty or money back guarantee related to the sale of mobile phone applications, therefore no deferred revenue or allowance for sales returns has been recorded.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and other short-term investments with original maturities of not more than three months stated at cost, which approximates market value.

 

F-5
 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are presented at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts, on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable consist of revenue earned and currently due from customers. We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. We recognize reserves for bad debts based on estimates developed using standard quantitative measures that incorporate historical write-offs and current economic conditions.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets include equipment and intangible assets other than those with indefinite lives. We assess the carrying value of our long-lived asset groups when indicators of impairment exist and recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.

 

Indicators of impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the assets or in our business strategy, loss of or changes in customer relationships and significant negative industry or economic trends. When indications of impairment arise for a particular asset or group of assets, we assess the future recoverability of the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis. If carrying value exceeds projected, net, undiscounted cash flows, an additional analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset (or asset group), typically a discounted cash flow analysis, and an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value.

 

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, unless impaired. Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line.

 

Upon retirement or sale, the historical cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances arise during the year that indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. In evaluating whether an impairment of goodwill exists, we first compare the estimated fair value of a reporting unit against its carrying value. If the estimated fair value is lower than the carrying value, then a more detailed assessment is performed comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the assets and liabilities plus the goodwill carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value of its assets and liabilities plus goodwill, then an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by the difference.

 

Software Development Costs

 

We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage relating to the development of our mobile applications. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

 

Business Acquisitions

 

Business acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under that method, assets and liabilities of the business acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition, with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. We make significant judgments and assumptions in determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, especially with respect to acquired intangibles. Using different assumptions in determining fair value could materially impact the purchase price allocation and our financial position and results of operations. Results of operations for acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive loss includes net loss as currently reported under U.S. GAAP and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss considers the effects of additional economic events, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, that are not required to be recorded in determining net loss, but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We measure and recognize stock based compensation expense using a fair value based method for all share based awards made to employees and nonemployee directors, including grants of stock options and other stock based awards. The application of this standard requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly with regard to Black Scholes assumptions such as stock price volatility and expected option lives to value equity based compensation. We recognize stock compensation expense using a straight-line method over the vesting period of the individual grants.

Income Taxes

 

We utilize the balance sheet method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate as part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, including assessing the risks associated with tax audits, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Due to the evolving nature and complexity of tax rules, it is possible that our estimates of our tax liability could change in the future, which may result in additional tax liabilities and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Our potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options, common stock warrants and convertible debentures, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, as the results would be antidilutive. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce net loss per share. There were 22,830,880 such potentially dilutive shares excluded as of September 30, 2013.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, to the extent balances exceed limits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and accounts receivable.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has evaluated recent pronouncements and does not expect their adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.

The note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and has a maturity date of March 29, 2013, but has not yet been paid. Any amount of principal or interest not paid in full at maturity will bear an interest rate of 22%. The convertible promissory note may be converted in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, to shares of common stock at any time following 180 days after the issuance date of the note. The conversion price under the note is 59% multiplied by the market price that is the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the ten trading day period prior to the conversion date.

The notes contain a conversion feature wherein the notes may be converted to shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.15 per common share. The conversion feature also contains a price protection feature wherein if the Company sells shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the conversion price of the note, the conversion price is reduced to the lower issuance price.

Any amount of principal or interest not paid in full at maturity will bear an interest rate of 22 percent. The convertible promissory note may be converted in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, to shares of common stock at any time following 180 days after the issuance date of the note. The conversion price under the note is 59% multiplied by the market price that is the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the ten trading day period prior to the conversion date. The total initial beneficial conversion feature recorded was $73,500.

The Technor Note is convertible into common stock of the Company at the election of Technor at a fixed rate of $0.15 per share.

 

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815 which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. The conversion price of these convertible notes are subject to “reset” provisions in the event the Company subsequently issues common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than conversion price of these notes. If these provisions are triggered, the conversion price of the note will be reduced. As a result, the Company has determined that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.

 

ASC 815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of certain derivatives at each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as another income or expense item. The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with convertible notes payable.

 

At origination, the Company valued the conversion features using the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of between 1.00 and 2.02 years, risk free rates of between 0.18 and 0.27 percent, and annualized volatility of between 149% and 172%. At December 31, 2012, the Company revalued the conversion features using the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of between 0.65 and 1.70 years, risk free rates of between 0.16 and 0.31 percent, and annualized volatility of between 159 and 172 percent and determined that, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s derivative liability decreased by $316,606 to $224,372. The Company recognized a corresponding gain on derivative liability in conjunction with this revaluation.

At September 30, 2013, the Company revalued the conversion features using the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of between 0.01 and 0.18 years, risk free rates of between 0.02 and 0.36 percent, and annualized volatility of between 222 and 248 percent and determined that, during nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s derivative liability decreased by $138,457 to $54,889. The Company recognized a corresponding gain on derivative liability in conjunction with this revaluation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Summary Overview

 

Bitzio is a holding company for various mobile media and app development subsidiaries with existing apps and rights to develop new apps around certain entertainment and fashion properties.

 

Acquisitions

 

On July 27, 2011, we acquired Bitzio Corp., a developer of mobile applications for smartphones, which is now operated as Bitzio Mobile Apps, Inc. Bitzio Mobile Apps has developed over 140 mobile applications with over 650,000 downloads in total and is in the process of developing additional mobile applications.

 

On November 9, 2011, we acquired Thinking Drone, Inc., a developer of iPhone and Android apps under the “Free the Apps” brand. Founded in 2009, Free the Apps has created many highly successful apps, including “Top 10” overall apps featured in iTunes App Store. Their success is not only creating top revenue generating apps but also using that acumen to help other developers get the visibility their apps need in the crowded mobile apps space. Using proven strategies, Free the Apps provides developers with social and online solutions to get their apps in a “top” list and extend their reach to extensive customer base. With almost 40 million downloads and counting, some of Free the Apps highly successful free apps include Convert Units for Free and Crop for Free.

 

On May 23, 2012, Bitzio, Inc. and MPC entered into a share purchase agreement wherein Bitzio, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding member’s equity in exchange for 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to a Termination Agreement executed on February 14, 2013, Bitzio agreed to return 100% ownership of MPC stock purchased on May 23, 2012. Other terms of the agreement include: neither party shall have any further obligations to the other; all stock options granted to all employees, consultants of MPC and the original vendor shall be deemed void; and in full settlement of any other claims, we agreed to allow the 6,500,000 shares of the company from the initial agreement to remain in possession of the holders subject to resale restrictions.

Going Concern

 

As a result of our financial condition, we have indicated in a footnote to our financial statements of September 30, 2013 describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern we must effectively balance many factors and begin to generate revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this we may not be able to continue as an operating company. At our current revenue and burn rate, our cash on hand will last approximately seven months. However, there is no assurance that our existing cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our existing operating expenses and capital requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal needs for liquidity have been to fund operating losses, working capital requirements, acquisitions, and debt service. Our principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2013 consisted of cash of $6,137. We expect that working capital requirements and acquisitions will continue to be our principal needs for liquidity over the near term. Working capital requirements are expected to increase as a result of our anticipated growth, both organically and through future acquisitions.

 

We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet our minimal operating expenses and to seek equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.

Our net cash used in continuing operating activities was $ $143,671 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1,034,394 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2013, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below with respect to our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are presently no pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject and no such proceedings are known to the Company to be threatened or contemplated against it.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
