Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The financial information included for the three month interim periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was taken from the books and records and is unaudited. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect properly the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

 

NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Management has elected to omit substantially all footnotes relating to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Premier Beverage Group Corp. (the “Company”) included in this report. For a complete set of footnotes, reference is made to the Company’s Current Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the audited financial statements included therein.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary OSO Beverages Corp. (and its subsidiary Fury Distribution Holdings LLC) for all periods presented.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $196,192 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and as of March 31, 2014 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,070,465 and a net working capital deficit (total current liabilities exceeded total current assets) of $669,448. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has undertaken further steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining its operations for the next twelve months and beyond to address its lack of liquidity by raising additional funds, either in the form of debt or equity or some combination thereof. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and/or business plans, and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and be able to obtain additional financing.

 

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems.  Further losses are anticipated in the development of the Company’s business, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. The continuing operations of the Company and the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund its working capital requirements, and upon future profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.  In the event that the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORY

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”). Inventory is stated at cost and reserves are recorded to state the inventory at net realizable value.

 

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property, plant and equipment at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consist of the following:

 

   March 31, 2014     
   (Unaudited)   December 31, 2013 
Office furniture and equipment  $1,741   $1,741 
Less: accumulated depreciation   (1,403)   (1,257)
    338    484 

 

Depreciation expense was $146 and $145 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

The Company had outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses of $437,659 and $441,694 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Included in accrued expenses are consulting agreements with three individuals, including Fouad Kallamni, the Company’s President. The aggregate amount of deferred compensation under these consulting agreements as of March 31, 2014 is $286,500 compared to $286,500 as of December 31, 2013.

On March 28, 2012, the Company issued $70,000 of its convertible promissory notes (“March 2012 Notes) to four investors. The March 2012 Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, are due on December 31, 2013 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $.05 per share. The March 2012 Notes will be automatically cancelled and new convertible promissory notes issued if, in connection with a convertible debt financing of the Company after March 28, 2012 and before December 31, 2013, such subsequent debt financing provides for a conversion price of less than $0.05 per share of Common Stock. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company recognized an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the notes. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $49,000 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the notes. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the notes’ maturity period as interest expense. The Company recognized a total of $21,185 of the debt discount as interest in 2012, and the remaining debt discount of $27,815 was recognized in 2013. The March 2012 Notes matured December 31, 2013 and are in technical default; however, no default has been declared.

 

On June 3, 2013, the Company issued $70,000 of its convertible promissory notes (“June 2013 Notes) to four investors. The June 2013 Notes were issued in exchange for $70,000 of convertible promissory notes issued to these investors on March 28, 2012 (“March 2012 Notes”) pursuant to a provision in the March 2012 Notes requiring a mandatory note exchange if, in connection with a convertible debt financing of the Company after March 28, 2012 and before December 31, 2013, such financing provided for a price at which the new note may be converted into shares of the Company’ Common Stock of less than $0.05 per share. On May 15, 2013 the Company engaged in a convertible debt financing in which the conversion price one of the notes is $.02 per share and the other is variable based on a 50% discount to the volume weighted average closing market price of the Company’s stock.  As a result of these financings, the conversion price of the June 2013 Notes was reset at $.01 per share. The March 2012 and June 2013 Notes are in all other respects identical. Interest that accrued on the March 2012 Note before the exchange may also be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $.01 per share.

 

The June 2013 Notes matured December 31, 2013 and are in technical default; however, no default has been declared.

 

On December 9, 2011, the Company issued a senior secured promissory note in the amount of $100,000 (“2011 Note”) to a third party lender (“Original Lender”). The note was secured by a security agreement with the Original Lender pursuant to which the Company granted a first lien on all of its assets. The 2011 Note was due on March 31, 2012. In April 2012, the Company repaid $25,000 of the principal balance, leaving a remaining in default balance of $75,000.

 

On May 19, 2013, 112359 Factor Fund LLC (“59FF”) entered into an exchange agreement with the Original Lender whereby 59FF acquired 100% of the rights of the 2011 Note. On the same day, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with 59FF for the outstanding principal balance of $75,000, accrued penalties and interest of $136,288 and associated costs of $13,712, in aggregate of $225,000, whereby 59FF agreed to forbear from further rights under the Original Secured Note in exchange for the Company to issue a new Secured Amended and Restated Convertible Debenture (“A&R Debenture”) in the amount of $225,000.

 

8
 

 

The A&R Debenture bears interest at the lower of 20% per annum or the maximum allowed under the law. Interest is to be paid to the note holder, at the note holder’s option, in cash or converted to common stock at the applicable conversion price on the trading day prior to the date paid provided the shares of the common stock of the Company are freely tradable. The maturity date is December 31, 2014.

 

The A&R Debenture is convertible into common stock, at the election of the holder, at a 50% discount to the 45 day volume weighted average stock price prior to conversion. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to the A&R Debenture. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features and reset provision. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of Debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date. At the inception of the Debenture, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of $145,803 of the embedded derivatives.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 384.06%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.01%, (4) expected life of .75 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.005 per share. The initial fair value of the embedded debt derivative of $145,803 was allocated as a debt discount. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company amortized $22,091 of debt discount as interest expense.

 

On May 19, 2013, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Debenture (“New Debenture”) for a principal amount of $150,000. The New Debenture bears interest at the lower of 20% per annum or the maximum allowed under the law. Interest is to be paid to the note holder, at the note holder’s option, in cash or converted to common stock at the applicable conversion price on the trading day prior to the date paid provided the shares of the common stock of the Company are freely tradable. Commencing on May 15, 2014 and each month thereafter, the Company is required to pay to the lender principal in the amount of $10,000. The secured lender has a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the loan is secured by a pledge of 31,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Company’s president. The maturity date is December 31, 2014. The New Debenture is convertible into common stock, at the election of the holder, at $0.02 per share.

 

Due to the nature of the previously issued A&R Debenture issued in connection with the forbearance agreement, the Company is required to account for the embedded conversion feature as a derivative related to the New Debenture. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of New Debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date. At the inception of the New Debenture, the Company determined the aggregate fair value of $19,841 of the embedded derivatives.

 

The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 384.06%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.01%, (4) expected life of .75 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.005 per share. The initial fair value of the embedded debt derivative of $19,841 was allocated as a debt discount. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company amortized $3,089 of debt discount as interest expense.

On August 23, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, OSO Beverages Corp., (“OSO”) issued $90,000 in principal amount of its secured convertible promissory notes (“OSO Notes) to two lenders. In exchange for the OSO Notes, the Company received $60,000 in cash to be used to purchase inventory. The repayment of the OSO Notes is secured by the inventory to be purchased and all of the proceeds from the sale thereof. Beginning on November 15, 2013 and each month thereafter, principal in the amount of $4,500 is payable to each lender, with all unpaid principal due and payable on August 15, 2014. The OSO Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.01 per share. The funded amount under the OSO Notes was $60,000, resulting in an original issuance discount of $30,000.  In accordance with the original issuance discount of the secured note, amortization expense of $7,563 has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014, with a remaining unamortized original issue discount of $11,513.

 

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

In connection with the issuance of convertible debentures, the Company has the possibility of exceeding their common shares authorized when considering the number of possible shares that may be issuable to satisfy settlement provisions of these agreements after consideration of all existing instruments that could be settled in shares.  The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company reclassify the derivative from equity to a liability at their fair values as of the date possible issuable shares exceeded the authorized level and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.  Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.  If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge.  If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.

 

The fair value of the derivatives at March 31, 2014 was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 368.06%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.01%, (4) expected life of .75 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.005 per share. The Company recorded a loss on the fair value change in derivative liabilities of $138,950 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Based upon ASC 815-25 the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible debentures. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

 

At March 31, 2014, the aggregate derivative liabilities was valued at $422,150, the Company believes an event under the contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.

 

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

10
 

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis consist of derivative liabilities and are based upon level 3 inputs.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1 or 2 disclosures.

 

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in Note 8. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Note 8 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

The derivative liability as of March 31, 2014, in the amount of $422,150 has a level 3 classification.

 

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of March 31, 2014:

 

  

Debt

Derivative

 
Balance, December 31, 2013  $283,200 
Total (gains) losses     
Change in fair value of derivative liability at March 31, 2014:   138,950 
Balance, March 31, 2014  $422,150 

 

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. The Company’s stock price increased approximately 85% from note inception to March 31, 2014. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Decreases in expected volatility would generally result in a lower fair value measurement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

 

Introductory Comments

 

On October 19, 2011, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger between OSO USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary, OSO Beverages Corp., OSO USA LLC merged into OSO Beverages Corp. OSO As a result of this merger, our historical motorcycle-related business terminated, we changed our name to Premier Beverage Group Corp. and we are now engaged in the functional beverage business described herein.

 

We operate our business through our wholly owned subsidiary, OSO Beverages Corp. and distribute our OSO products through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fury Distribution Holdings LLC. Another subsidiary, Captive Brands Corp., is inactive. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as amended, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Premier Beverage” and “our company” refer to Premier Beverage Group Corp., a Nevada corporation, and, unless the context indicates otherwise, includes these subsidiaries for all periods presented.

 

We require additional capital to operate our business. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available as necessary to meet our working capital requirements or, if the capital is available, that it will be on reasonable terms acceptable to us. The issuances of additional equity securities by the Company will result in dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success may be adversely affected.

 

The following discussion of our plan of operations should be read in conjunction with the foregoing statements and with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

The Company cautions readers regarding forward looking statements found in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on the behalf of the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Overview

 

We are a consumer brand development company focused on creating, marketing and selling compelling functional beverage brands. Functional beverages, which include energy drinks, energy shots, and enhanced waters, among others, have expanded substantially in the last 10 years and disrupted the beverage landscape formerly dominated by soft drinks. The functional beverage category has uncovered a previously unexposed consumer need that traditional beverages did not address. We believe these beverages are quickly becoming the drink of choice for the younger generation, having matured from “fad” status into the mainstream market.

 

We operate a two-tiered strategy that blends the large upside potential of developing and owning proprietary brands with a lower risk, predictable captive brands strategy. Our flagship brand, OSO, is a premium energy beverage offered primarily to high profile on-premise accounts. “On-premise” accounts include clubs, bars, restaurants and hotels and generally where the product is consumed at the location. OSO holds a unique position as a premium energy beverage. With additional repackaging initiatives currently underway, OSO intends to further differentiate itself by offering a sleek glass bottle packaging option along with a formula that is made with 100% all natural ingredients. OSO’s positioning is sophisticated, top-shelf energy with elegant packaging, unlike mass market ‘extreme-focused’ canned energy drinks.

 

In addition to OSO, we intend to utilize our manufacturing and brand development skills to create high quality store brands for mass retailers (which we have dubbed “captive brands”). Our management team has prior direct experience developing captive functional beverage brands for national and regional retailers such as Walgreens, Duane Reade, Stop&Shop and Roundy’s. Our new turnkey captive brand program involves the development of a brand tailored for a specific retailer in return for a long-term vendor agreement with that retailer to manufacture and supply product. The development of the brand includes all facets of product development, including formulations, branding, packaging, distribution and marketing.

 

Our company is a Nevada corporation originally formed on July 22, 1999. Our principal place of business is located at 501 Madison Avenue, Suite 501, New York, New York 10022. Our telephone number is (646) 820-0630.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

 

Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with three months March 31, 2013.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 we generated revenues of $10,322 compared to $5,760 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $4,562, or 79%. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3,859, generating a gross margin of $6,463. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1,230, generating a gross margin of $4,530. The increase in our revenues is attributable principally to our increase of available inventory to sell to customers.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,048 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $8,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $1,712 or approximately 21%. The increase was primarily the result of additional corporate expenses as we scaled operations since receiving additional capital.

 

We incurred interest expense of $53,511 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Interest expense incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $49,633. The increase of $3,878 in interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of debt discount due to the financial restructuring that took place during 2013.

 

13
 

 

We reported a net loss and loss applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $196,192. Our net loss and loss applicable to the common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $53,584. The increase in net loss was attributable principally to the amortization of debt discount and loss on the fair value of derivative liability due to the financial restructuring that took place in 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since the merger in October 2011, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of debt securities, as follows:

 

·Convertible notes in the amount of $202,100 issued in connection with the merger in October 2011. On April 23, 2013, we exercised our right to convert $187,100 of these notes into 1,385,926 shares of our Common Stock).

 

·$70,000 of convertible notes issued to four investors in March 2012 (“March 2012 Notes”) due and payable on December 31, 2013. On June 3, 2013, the Company issued $70,000 of new convertible promissory notes (“June 2013 Notes) to these four investors in exchange for their March 2012 Notes, which required a mandatory note exchange if, in connection with a convertible debt financing of the Company after March 28, 2012 and before December 31, 2013, such financing provided for a price at which any new note may be converted into shares of the Company’ Common Stock of less than $0.05 per share. On May 15, 2013 the Company engaged in a convertible debt financing in which the conversion price one of the notes is $.02 per share and the other is variable based on a 50% discount to the volume weighted average closing market price of the Company’s stock.  As a result of these financings, the conversion price of the June 2013 Notes was reset at $.01 per share. The March 2012 and June 2013 Notes are in all other respects identical. Interest that accrued on the March 2012 Note before the exchange may also be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $.01 per share. We did not receive any cash from this financing.

 

·On May 19, 2013, the Company issued a $225,000 Secured Amended and Restated Convertible Debenture to a single lender (“A&R Note”) which amended and restated the Company’s senior secured promissory note issued to another lender on December 9, 2011 in the original principal amount of $100,000 (“2011 Note”). The 2011 Note had been in default since April 1, 2012. Pursuant to a Forbearance Agreement entered into with the new lender, accrued penalties and costs of $150,000 with respect to the 2011 Note were added to the principal of the A&R Note. The A&R Note bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, is due on December 31, 2014 and is, subject to certain ownership limitations, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price is equal to 50% of the volume weighted average closing market price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the 45 trading days preceding conversion. The secured lender has a first security interest in all of the Company’s assets. We did not receive any cash from this financing.

 

·On May 19, 2013, the Company issued a Secured Amended and Restated Convertible Debenture in the amount of $150,000 to a single lender (“New Note”). The New Note bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, is due on December 31, 2014 and is, subject to certain ownership limitations, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $.02 per share. Commencing on May 15, 2014 and each month thereafter, the Company is required to pay to the lender principal in the amount of $10,000. The secured lender has a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the loan is secured by a pledge of 31,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Company’s president. We received $150,000 in cash from this financing.

 

·On August 23, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, OSO Beverages Corp., (“OSO”) issued $90,000 in principal amount of its secured convertible promissory notes (“OSO Notes) to two lenders. In exchange for the OSO Notes, the Company received $60,000 in cash to be used to purchase inventory. The repayment of the OSO Notes is secured by the inventory to be purchased and all of the proceeds from the sale thereof. Beginning on November 15, 2013 and each month thereafter, principal in the amount of $4,500 is payable to each lender, with all unpaid principal due and payable on August 15, 2014.

 

14
 

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had $0 of cash on hand, $8,002 in accounts receivable, $75,439 in inventory, and $764,402 in current liabilities. As of March 31, 2013, we had $0 of cash on hand, $19,255 in inventory, and $894,429 in current liabilities.

 

We will require additional cash to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Item is inapplicable.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

 

Fouad Kallamni, who was our principal executive and financial officer after the merger of OSO USA LLC into the Company on October 19, 2011 and for the remainder of the reporting period which ended on March 31, 2014, has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were neither effective prior to the merger or as of March 31, 2014. These controls are meant to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2013, it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures which continue to exist as of March 31, 2014.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.

 

15
 

 

The Company’s assessment identified certain material weaknesses which are set forth below:

 

Entity Level Controls

 

We have insufficient corporate governance policies. Our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management.

 

We currently have insufficient resources which may restrict our ability to gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements in a timely manner, including insufficient documentation and review of the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles to significant non-routine transactions. In addition, the limited size of the accounting department makes it impractical to achieve an optimum segregation of duties.

 

Functional Controls and Segregation of Duties

 

We have an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our management is composed of a single individual resulting in a situation where no segregation of duties exists. In order to remedy this situation we would need to hire additional staff to provide segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management intends to reassess this matter during the current fiscal year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duties is feasible.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are a circumstance due to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and intends to take remedial actions upon receiving funding for our business operations.

 

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies, including:

 

(1)Adding personnel with the depth of knowledge and time commitment to provide a greater level of review for corporate activities;
(2)Continuing to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes; and
 (3)Soliciting independent directors to enhance corporate governance and Board composition.

 

We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On July 27, 2012, we received notice that a default judgment had been entered against the Company with respect to a civil action summons and complaint filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Passaic County, for the non-payment of certain unsecured promissory notes issued by the Company’s predecessor, DAM Holdings, Inc., in the amount of $66,051. The repayment of these notes has been guaranteed in full by a third party in connection with the merger of OSO USA LLC into our wholly-owned subsidiary, OSO Beverages Corp. The Company intends to pursue its remedies against such third party with respect to this judgment.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Inapplicable.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

None.

  

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

We are in technical default of $70,000 of convertible notes issued to four investors in June 2013, although no default has been declared. These notes were due and payable on December 31, 2013.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

None.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

On February 20, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an Order of Suspension of Trading of the Company’s securities for lack of “current and accurate information” under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). The Company filed an Answer in response to the Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing and, on March 20, 2014, counsel to the Company appeared at a pre-hearing before the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the SEC. The purpose of the Answer was to assert why the SEC should not revoke the registration of the Company’s securities under the Exchange Act. After a second pre-hearing on April 23, 2014, the Chief Administrative Law Judge ordered that the SEC file a motion for summary disposition of this matter by May 19, 2014, that the Company respond to such motion by May 27, 2014 and that the SEC reply to the Company’s response by June 2, 2014. Although the Company expects to be current in all of its filings under the Exchange Act by the earlier of such dates, it is possible that the SEC will continue to pursue its action to revoke the registration of the Company’s securities under the Exchange Act.
