Business Operations

On January 9, 2013, the Company, Be Active Acquisition Corp., the Company’s newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”) and Be Active Brands, Inc. (“Brands”), an entity incorporated in Delaware on March 10, 2009 and based in New York, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon closing of the transaction under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into Brands, with Brands as the surviving corporation, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization with Brands as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company as the acquired company.  Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of Brands and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Brands and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and Brands, and the historical operations of the Company and Brands from the closing date of the Merger.

The Company sells frozen yogurt and fudge bars to retailers with stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.  The Company intends to expand its regional growth to a national level and global presence in sales of premium quality low-fat, low calorie, low-carbohydrate, vitamin and probiotic enriched frozen yogurt and products under the brand name “Jala”.
 
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 revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and at March 31, 2016, has an accumulated deficit of ($19,423,999) and stockholders’ deficit of ($3,192,473). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating expenses 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 through sales of its products in combination with equity and/or debt financing.  As indicated in  Note 8, the Company obtained approximately $425,000, $250,000 and $500,000 of gross proceeds from the debt offerings on December 31, 2014, September 21, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and currently has limited working capital necessary for sales and production, accordingly there can be no assurance that the Company can continue as a going concern.
 
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
 
The financial statements reflect a 1 per 1,000 reverse stock split of all outstanding common and preferred stock, which was effective immediately prior to the completion of the December 2015 Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 8).  All share and per share data reported and disclosed in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include the fair value of derivatives and other stockholders' equity based transactions.
 
 
Reclassification
 
Certain items in the 2015 financials have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation.

Financial Instruments
 
The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.  The fair value of convertible notes payable approximate their face value.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
 
 Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 Level 2
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
 Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and less observable from objective sources.

The Company’s derivative liabilities (see Note 9) are valued at each reporting period using level 3 inputs.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  Federal legislation provides for FDIC insurance of up to $250,000.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records an allowance for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable.  The allowance is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.
 
Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of packaging, raw materials and finished goods held for distribution.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and the current expected market conditions.  Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of selling expense.  Shipping and handling costs were $0 and $3,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
Debt Issue Cost
 
Debt issue costs related to costs incurred in connection with the issuance of convertible notes, and are being amortized on the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over the term of the respective notes payable. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $35,750 and $9,375 amounted to $69,750 and $96,125, respectively. Debt issuance costs are now shown on the accompanying balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the secured converible notes payable  (see Note 8).
 
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
 
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.
 
Derivative Liabilities

The Company’s derivative liabilities are related to the ratchet reset provisions of the Company’s warrants and convertible debt.  Such ratchet reset provisions prohibit the Company from concluding that the warrants are indexed to their own stock, and thus derivative accounting is appropriate.  For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in operations for each reporting period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model to value the derivative instruments of its’ outstanding stock warrants at inception and subsequent valuation dates and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, and a binomial valuation model in connection with its’ convertible debt.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized, net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, slotting fees and estimated returns, upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations.
 
Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant, as subsequently adjusted for certain contingently issuable shares.  Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the known or equivalent market value of common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of common stock.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company provides for income taxes under  ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of an assets and liabilities approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more likely than not.

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.

As of March 31, 2016, management has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company’s income tax returns since 2012 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.
 
Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising was $853 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability. Also in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, to clarify that the Securities and Exchange Commission staff would not object to deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance is required to be retrospectively applied to all prior periods. The Company adopted these ASUs in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, the Company now presents $69,750 and $96,125 of debt issuance costs as a reduction of secured convertible notes payable.
 
All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

6. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator for fully diluted income per share is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued in order to present their dilutive effect unless the effect of such potential shares would be antidilutive. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, convertible preferred shares and convertible notes payable. In addition, in computing net income (loss) per share on a fully diluted basis, the Company adjusts for the interest expense on convertible debt as if the debt had been converted for all periods presented.

As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the number of potential dilutive common shares is comprised of the following:

8. SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On December 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“2014 Agreement”) with certain accredited investors to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of up to $500,000 of principal amount of notes due December 31, 2015 representing the Purchasers’ subscription amount.  The 2014 Agreement defines certain covenants and provides for a purchase price reset for a period of three years, unless the securities have been assigned, whereby should the Company issue or sell any shares of common stock or any common stock equivalents at a price less than the Purchasers’ conversion price per share, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of common stock to the Purchasers for no additional consideration resulting in a share dilution adjustment, as defined. The 2014 Agreement also provides a Most Favored Nations Provision whereby if the Company issues or sells any common stock at terms more favorable within three years, then the Company will be required to amend the 2014 Agreement to provide such favorable terms to the Purchasers. The Company paid $33,000 in legal and escrow agent fees, a placement agency fee of $20,000 in the form of a note payable, substantially similar to the Purchasers’ notes and issued 64,000, shares of its common stock valued at $640,000 and $20,000 as due diligence fees, all of which have been recorded as debt issuance costs on the accompanying consolidated financial statements and is being charged to operations over the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.  The Company recorded amortization expense of $0 and $178,250 on the debt issuance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  At December 31, 2015 the maturity date of the notes were extended to December 31, 2016.

Under the 2014 Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of $425,000 in Secured Convertible Notes (“Notes”) and issued an additional $20,000 Note for placement fees.  The Company fulfilled its obligations as defined by certain equity requirements; therefore, the Notes will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock.  Under certain conditions defined in the agreement, the Company has the option to convert the Notes into shares of the Company's common stock.   Since the equity obligations were met during 2015 the Notes accrued interest at 10% per annum through June 30, 2015.  The original conversion price on the Note was $6.00, and has subsequently reduced to $0.30 at December 31, 2015.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company issued 175,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of $52,500 of Notes.  In accordance with the accounting for debt extinguishment, the difference between the $52,500 carrying value of the Notes, plus the associated embedded derivative liability of $54,306 and the $68,000 fair value of 175,000 shares of common stock issued, resulting in a net gain of approximately $39,000.
 
Each Holder of the Notes has been granted a security interest in assets of the Company in accordance with a Security Agreement.  The Security Agreement provides the Collateral Agent a security interest in all goods, machinery, equipment, contract rights and intangibles in the event of a default under the Agreement.
 
In connection with this 2014 Agreement, and under the anti-dilution provisions of the February 2014 private placement, on December 31, 2014,  the Company issued an aggregate of 160,093 shares of common stock and 13,333 warrants to purchase common shares at $6.00 per share to existing stockholders holding securities purchased in that offering. This reflects the post-split adjustment to shares issued and price per share.  The fair value of the 13,333 warrants issued in 2014 were valued at $122,807 using the Black-Scholes Pricing model and was reflected as a change in the derivative liability in the 2014 statement of operations.

In addition, the pricing of this 2014 Agreement triggered the pricing reset provision in the 3,333 warrants issued in the February 14, 2014 private placement.  Such triggering resulted in the exercise price of the previously issued warrants resetting to $6.00 from $30.00 at December 31, 2014.  The exercise price was further reduced to $0.30 as a result of additional financing in 2015. At March 31, 2016, using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model, the Company re-valued the remaining February 2014 warrants at $1,151 a decrease in fair value of $440 from December 31, 2015 and a decrease in fair value of $569,849 since inception.

At March 31, 2016, the 13,333 ratchet warrants granted at December 31, 2014 were re-valued using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model at $4,890, a decrease in fair value of $1,743 from December 31, 2015.
 
The significant assumptions utilized by the Company in the valuation of these warrants at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:

The outstanding warrants for 26,884 common shares at December 31, 2015, held by the January and April 2013 private placement investors do not have a cashless exercise and were not affected by the reset provision.   During January 2016, 3,903 warrants expired.  The Company re-valued the remaining warrants at March 31, 2016 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model at $0; there was no change in fair value of $0 at December 31, 2015.

On September 21, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Sept  2015 Agreement”) with certain accredited investors to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of up to $250,000 of principal amount of notes due September 30, 2016, representing the Purchasers’ subscription amount.  The new offering is substantially the same terms and conditions as the December 2014 Notes.  In connection with the new offering, the Company issued allonges to the December 2014 Notes increasing the principal amount of the Notes ("Allonges") pursuant to the terms of the new offering with such Allonges having a maturity date of September 30, 2016 and a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share (subject to further reduction), at September 21, 2015.  The conversion price was reduced to $0.30 at December 31, 2015 as a result of a subsequent financing.

The Sept 2015 Agreement defines certain covenants and provides for a purchase price reset for a period of three years, unless the securities have been assigned, whereby should the Company issue or sell any shares of common stock or any common stock equivalents at a price less than the Purchasers’ conversion price per share, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of common stock to the Purchasers for no additional consideration resulting in a share dilution adjustment, as defined.

Under the Sept 2015 Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of $250,000 in Secured Convertible Notes and issued an additional $25,000 Note for placement fees.  Once the Company has fulfilled its obligations as defined by certain equity requirements, the Notes will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the Company.  Until the equity obligations are met, the Notes bear interest at 10%, per annum.  Interest will be earned at a rate of 10% for the twelve months ending September 30, 2016 or to the date of conversion, whichever is earlier. The conversion price for the Note and accrued interest was equal to $1.00 per share at September 21, 2015 subject to adjustments as stock dividends and stock splits, as defined. At December 31, 2015, the conversion price was reduced to $0.30.

The Dec 2015 Agreement defines certain covenants and provides for a purchase price reset for a period of three years, unless the securities have been assigned, whereby should the Company issue or sell any shares of common stock or any common stock equivalents at a price less than the Purchasers’ conversion price per share, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of common stock to the Purchasers for no additional consideration resulting in a share dilution adjustment, as defined. The Dec 2015 Agreement also provides a Most Favored Nations Provision whereby if the Company issues or sells any common stock at terms more favorable within three years, then the Company will be required to amend the Dec 2015 Agreement to provide such favorable terms to the Purchasers.

9. Derivative Liabilities
 
The Company has determined that the convertible notes issued on December 31, 2014, September 21, 2015 and December 31, 2015 contain provisions that protect holders from future issuances of the Company’s common stock at prices below such convertible notes’ respective conversion price and these provisions  result in modification of the conversion price to issue additional common shares based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 – 40 and the conversion feature represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation.
 
The fair values of the Convertible Notes Offering were recognized as derivative instruments at issuance and are measured at fair value at each reporting period. The embedded derivative on the 2014 Agreement was valued at $594,963 using a binomial valuation model at December 31, 2014.  In addition during 2015 the Company recognized derivative liabilities aggregating $1,439,432 in connection with the Sept 2015 and Dec 2015 fund raising.  At December 31, 2015, the embedded conversion derivative for all three debt financings was revalued to $2,224,362.  At March 31, 2016, the embedded conversion derivative for all three debt financings was revalued to $1,641,548.  The assumptions considered in the valuation model for the December 31, 2014 Notes at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were:

The derivative liability at March 31, 2016 consists of debt conversion of $1,641,548 ($2,224,361 - 2015) and warrants of $6,037 ($8,224 - 2015).
 
 
Accounting for Convertible Debt

Under the initial accounting for the December 2014 Offering, the Company allocated the proceeds to the embedded conversion derivative liability, which exceeded the $445,000 face amount of the convertible debt at the issuance date. The proceeds allocated to the embedded conversion derivative liability were recognized as a discount to the convertible debt. As of December 31, 2014, the Company recorded aggregate debt discounts of $445,000 related to the conversion rights and recorded $149,963 of expense related to the excess value of the derivative over the face amount of the convertible debt.
 
Under the September 21, 2015 offering the Company allocated the proceeds to the embedded conversion derivative liability, which exceeded the $275,000 face amount of the additional convertible debt at the issuance date.
 
Under the December 31, 2015 offering the Company allocated the proceeds to the embedded conversion derivative liability, which exceeded the $550,000 face amount of the additional convertible debt at the issuance date.
 
As a result, upon issuance of the two 2015 debt offerings, the Company recorded a debt discount of $825,000 and recorded a loss of $614,432 related to the excess value of the $1,439,432 derivative over the $825,000 face amount of the convertible debt.

The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the life of the convertible debentures using an effective interest method.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company amortized $396,091 and $172,543, respectively, of the debt discount.  In addition, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs amounted to $26,375 and $178,250 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
10. CAPITAL STOCK
 
2014 Financing

On February 14, 2014, the Company sold to certain accredited investors pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, an aggregate of 33,333 shares of its common stock, 26,667 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and five year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 59,999 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $30, per share, for gross proceeds of $1,800,000. Until the earlier of (i) three years from the closing of the Offering or (ii) such time as no investor holds any shares of common stock underlying warrants or underlying the Series C Preferred Stock, in the event the Company issues or sells common stock  at a per share price equal to less than $30.00 per share, as adjusted, the Company has agreed to issue additional securities such that the aggregate purchase price paid by the investor shall equal the lower price issuance, subject to certain exceptions, as defined. The Company recorded a derivative liability related to the reset feature on the exercise price of the warrants to purchase common stock issued by the Company.

In connection with the Offering, the Company granted the investors “piggy-back” registration rights and the investors are entitled to a right of participation in future financings conducted by the Company for a period of twenty-four months.

In 2014 the Company paid placement agent fees of $144,000 in cash, issued an aggregate of 600, shares of the Company’s common stock and issued a five year warrant to purchase up to 5,399 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $30 per share, as commission in connection with the sale of the shares and warrants. In addition, the Company permitted the conversion of an aggregate of $13,500 of unpaid fees owed to a consultant into 450 shares and warrants at the Offering price. In conjunction with the Offering, $100,000 was placed in an escrow account to be used for auditing and legal fees.  As of December 31, 2015, the balance of the escrow account was $0 and $12,500 in 2014.
 
On February 14, 2014, as a component of the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 66,333 warrants with a fair value of $11,361,278 determined using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model.
 
Pursuant to the subscription agreement in 2014, certain members of the Company’s management agreed to invest an aggregate of $250,000 in exchange for 8,333 shares of the Company’s common stock within 30 days of the closing, on the same terms of the agreement.
 
 
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In April 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized four (4) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and issued one share of Series B Preferred Stock to each of the Company’s three senior members of management.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled such number of votes on all matters submitted to stockholders that is equal to (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (taking into account the effective outstanding voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock), as of the record date for the vote and (c) 0.13334 less (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such holder on such date.  Additionally, on the six month anniversary date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock was to automatically, and without further action on the part of the holder, convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as would cause the holder to own, along with any other securities of the Company’s beneficially owned on the conversion date by them 13.334% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, calculated on the conversion date. On October 25, 2013, the Company amended and restated the Certificate of Designation for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to extend the date on which the Series B Shares would automatically convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, from the date six months from the date of issuance (October 26, 2013) to the twelfth month anniversary of the date of issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (April 26, 2014) which on April 22, 2014, was further extended to an indefinite date.  The Company previously recorded the three shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as stock-based compensation using the then current estimate of the number of shares that would convert to shares of common stock of the Company based on the shares outstanding and current price per share at each balance sheet date.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company recalculated the estimated shares issuable to be 216,670 and recorded stock-based compensation of $2,166,707 for the year then ended.   The estimate is based on the current common shares outstanding at December 31, 2014, a stock price of $10.00 per share, and is subject to adjustment based on any additional common shares issued.

Recent Developments
 
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability. Also in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, to clarify that the Securities and Exchange Commission staff would not object to deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance is required to be retrospectively applied to all prior periods. The Company adopted these ASUs in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, the Company now presents $69,750 and $96,125 of debt issuance costs as a reduction of secured convertible notes payable.
 
The financial statements reflect a 1 for 1,000  reverse stock split of all outstanding common and preferred stock, which was effective immediately prior to the completion of the December 2015 Securities Purchase Agreement.  All share and per share data reported and disclosed in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

-19-

 
Concurrently, on February 18, 2014 we sold an aggregate of 33,333 shares of common stock, 26,667 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Shares“) and five year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 59,999 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per share (the “February Warrants“) with gross proceeds to the Company of $1,799,999.99 (the “February Private Placements“) to the February Investors pursuant to a subscription agreement (the “February Subscription Agreement“). Each Share was sold for a purchase price of $30.00 per Share. February Investors, who would, as a result of the purchase of shares of common stock, hold in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, were afforded the opportunity to elect to receive shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Until the earlier of (i) three years from the closing of the February Private Placement or (ii) such time as no February Investor holds any Shares, Warrants, or shares of common stock underlying Warrants or underlying the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, in the event we issue or sell common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price equal to less than $30.00 share, as adjusted, we agreed to issue additional Shares such that the aggregate purchase price paid by such February Investor shall equal such lower price issuance, subject to certain customary exceptions.
 
Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time, into 100 shares of common stock and has a stated value of $0.0001 per share. The conversion ratio of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.
 
The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.30 share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as lower priced issuances, stock splits and dividends.
 
In connection with the February Private Placement, we granted the February Investors “piggy-back“ registration rights. Additionally, February Investors are entitled to a right of participation in future financings conducted by the Company for a period of 24 months.
 
On December 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement“) with certain accredited investors to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of up to $500,000 of principal amount of notes due December 31, 2015 representing the Purchasers’ subscription amount. The Agreement defines certain covenants and provides for a purchase price reset for a period of three years, unless the securities have been assigned, whereby should the Company issue or sell any shares of common stock or any common stock equivalents at a price less than the Purchasers’ conversion price per share, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of common stock to the Purchasers for no additional consideration resulting in a share dilution adjustment, as defined. The Agreement also provides a Most Favored Nations Provision whereby if the Company issues or sells any common stock at terms more favorable within three years, then the Company will be required to amend the Agreement to provide such favorable terms to the Purchasers. The Company paid $33,000 in legal and escrow agent fees, a placement agency fee of $20,000 in the form of a note payable, substantially similar to the Purchasers’ notes and issued 64,000 shares of its common stock valued at $640,000 and $20,000 as due diligence fees, all of which have been recorded as debt issue costs on the accompanying consolidated financial statements and is being charged to operations over the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 or the date of conversion, if earlier.  The Company recorded amortization expense of $0 and $178,250 on the debt issuance costs during the three months  ended March  31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2015 the maturity date of the notes were extended to December 31, 2016.
 
Under the Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of $425,000 in Secured Convertible Notes (“Notes“) and an additional $20,000 Note for placement fees. The Company fulfilled its obligations as defined by certain equity requirements, therefore the Notes will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the Company. Since the equity obligations were met during 2015, the Notes accrued interest at 10%, per annum through June 2015. The original conversion price on the Note was $6.00 and has subsequently reduced to $0.30 at December 31, 2015.
 
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company issued 175,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of $52,500 of Notes.  In accordance with the accounting for debt extinguishment, the difference between the $52,500 carrying value of the Notes, plus the associated embedded derivative liability of $54,306 and the $68,000 fair value of 175,000 shares of common stock issued, resulting in a net gain of approximately $39,000.

The September 2015 Agreement also provides a Most Favored Nations Provision whereby if the Company issues or sells any common stock at terms more favorable within three years, then the Company will be required to amend the September 2015 Agreement to provide such favorable terms to the Purchasers.

Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, (decrease) in fair value of derivative liability, gain on settlement of secured convertible notes payable, and depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased to an income of ($343,031) from an (income) of ($180,361) for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase in income of $162,670.

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased to $8,417 from $43,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an decrease of ($35,159) or 81%.

Net Loss

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders
 
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders includes a gain on extinguishment of Series B preferred stock of $3,420,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
 
Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
Basic income or (loss) per share for the three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015 is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Fully diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator for fully diluted income per share is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued in order to present their dilutive effect. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and convertible preferred shares. Diluted loss per share excludes the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and convertible preferred stock from the calculation of net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Total current assets at March 31, 2016 were $141,007, current liabilities were $1,699,454 and the Company had negative working capital of $1,558,447.  Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $19,423,999 and stockholders’ deficit of $3,192,473 as of March 31, 2016.  Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating expenses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company used $297,852 in cash from operations while also using $110,000 in cash to reduce the loan to officer in financing activities.  During the comparative 2015 quarter, the Company used $405,862 in cash flow from operations, while using $0 in cash from financing activities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not Applicable.
  
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, or officers performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our internal control over financial reporting is not currently effective due to the following:

Currently there is a lack of proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the related disbursements due to our limited staff and accounting personnel. Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with administrative and financial matters. In the future, management intends to continue to utilize additional staff to handle certain administrative financial duties.

In addition, the Company’s limited accounting staff may not allow for us to properly account for complex accounting transactions, which could lead to a material misstatement of our financial statements.

Finally, there has been a lack of controls over the control environment in that the Board of Directors is comprised of three members who are officers of the Company. As of yet, there is no formal audit committee and no compensation committee. As the Company matures, management will continue to expand the Board of Directors.
