Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern

 

Organization

 

Freedom Leaf, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Freedom Leaf”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 21, 2013, under the name of Arkadia International, Inc. The Company was originally engaged in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars, and goods with the intent to resale these in the U.S. territory or export to overseas countries.

 

On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard C. Cowan acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Mr. Cowan and Vladimir and Galina Shekhtman (“Sellers”). On the closing date, October 3, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93%.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf, Inc., a private Nevada corporation. The Company changed its name from Arkadia International, Inc., to Freedom Leaf, Inc. As a result of the merger, the private company was dissolved. See Note 2 for related discussion.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Share Exchange represents a "reverse merger" rather than a business combination and Private Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Private Company is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Public Company (Freedom Leaf, Inc., f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc.) is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of the Private Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Private Company, and the financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of the Public Company and the Private Company, and the historical operations of Private Company and operations of both companies from the closing date of the Share Exchange.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company is focused on being the premium national and international news source for the Cannabis/Industrial Hemp industry. Through our online and print media channels, our efforts are in dissemination of current legislation and legal news, arts and entertainment. Additional websites and online partnerships are in the development stage that will give the Freedom Leaf brand greater exposure. The Company will generate revenue from paid advertising on both online and print publications as well as consulting fees and incubator fees for companies that want to participate in the Cannabis/Industrial Hemp industry. Another segment of income generation by the Company is brand management for both profit and non-profit organizations. An example is the contract with NORML which was entered into on May 26, 2015. This contract authorizes the Company to undertake all of the commercial activities of NORML, earning income for both the non-profit and the Company.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Freedom Leaf, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2016 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 filed on October 6, 2015 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deposits received from customers for layaway sales and short term loans the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We follow accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

We currently measure and report at fair value our intangible assets (due to our impairment analysis) and derivative liabilities. The fair value of intangible assets has been determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows method. The fair value of derivative liabilities is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The following table summarizes our non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016:

Following is a summary of activity through March 31, 2016 of the fair value of intangible assets valued using Level 3 inputs:

 

							Accumulated
			Asset				Amortization				Net
Intangibles - June 30, 2015			$	4,913			$	(169	)		$	4,744
Additions				3,234				–				3,234
Amortization				–				(381	)			(381	)
Intangibles - March 31, 2016			$	8,147			$	(550	)		$	7,597

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions ASC Topic 505-50. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has generated limited revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $100,412, has recurring net losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $2,500,831, and a working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2016 of $177,252, and used cash in operations of $219,388 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. In addition, as of March 31, 2016, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $379,775 and $3,499,949, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the amortization period for intangible assets, valuation and impairment valuation of intangible assets, depreciable lives of the web site and property and equipment, valuation of warrants and beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

 

Development Stage Company

 

Since inception, the Company became a “development stage company” as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities.” On June 10, 2014 the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity. The incremental reporting requirements for presenting the development stage operations and cash flows since inception will no longer apply to development stage entities. The amendments of Topic 915 are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has elected early adoption of this guidance effective with the filing of its previous quarterly report.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf, Inc., a private Nevada corporation. The Company changed its name from Arkadia International, Inc., to Freedom Leaf, Inc. As a result of the merger, the private company was dissolved. See Note 2 for related discussion.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share,” basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares which may dilute future earnings per share consist of convertible notes convertible into 20,225,000 common shares. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive (see Note 3).

 

Segment Information

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company does not have any operating segments as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting pronouncements as issued. No new pronouncements had any material effect on these unaudited financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these unaudited financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these unaudited financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these unaudited financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these unaudited financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to March 31, 2016 through the date these unaudited financial statements were issued.

 

Note 2 – Entry into a Definitive Agreement

 

Freedom Leaf, Inc., (f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc., the “Public Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Freedom Leaf, Inc. (the “Private Company”), a Nevada corporation. Prior to the reverse merger, Richard C. Cowan, an officer and director of the Company, post-merger, acquired 89,808,000, or 99.8% of the outstanding shares of Freedom Leaf, Inc., the public company. Clifford J. Perry, an individual, and the Private Company’s sole officer and director (“Perry”), was the owner of record of all of the outstanding common shares of the Private Company (the “Private Company Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, upon surrender by the shareholders of the Public Company (the “Shareholders”) and the cancellation by the Private Company of the certificates evidencing the Private Company Stock as registered in the name of the Shareholder, and pursuant to the registration of the Public Company in the register of Shareholders maintained by Private Company as the new holder of the Public Company Stock and the issuance of the certificates evidencing the aforementioned registration of the Private Company Stock in the name of the Public Company, the Public Company will issue 83,401,200 shares (the “New Shares”) (subject to adjustment for fractionalized shares as set forth below) of the Company’s common stock to the Shareholders (or their designees), and Perry will cause 100% of the shares of the Private Company’s common stock that he owns (the “Perry Stock,” together with the New Shares, the “Acquisition Stock”) to be transferred to the Shareholders (or their designees), which collectively shall represent 48.1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Public Company immediately after the Closing, in exchange for the Private Company Stock, representing 100% of the issued share capital of the Private Company. As a result of the exchange of the Private Company Stock for the Acquisition Stock (the “Share Exchange”), the Private Company will be dissolved.

 

The closing of the Exchange Agreement was conditioned upon certain, limited customary representations and warranties, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions to closing. As the parties satisfied all of the closing conditions, on November 6, 2014, we consummated the Share Exchange contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. As a result, the shareholders of Private Company own approximately 48.1% of our issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Prior to the execution and delivery of the Exchange Agreement, our board of directors approved the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby. Similarly, the board of directors of Private Company approved the Share Exchange. Reference is hereby made regarding the completion of the Share Exchange.

 

Following the Share Exchange, we have abandoned our prior business plan and we are now pursuing Private Company’s historical businesses.

 

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Share Exchange Agreement, a copy of which has been filed on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended December 31, 2014 which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Share Exchange represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination and Private Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Private Company is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Public Company (Freedom Leaf, Inc., f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc.) is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of the Private Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Private Company, and the financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of the Public Company and the Private Company, and the historical operations of Private Company and operations of both companies from the closing date of the Share Exchange.

 

Licensing Rights

 

On February 8, 2016, the Company and Freedomleaf Netherlands, b.v. (“FLNL”), a company located in the Netherlands, executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), wherein the Company granted FLNL a right of first refusal to license certain rights from the Company described below in exchange for a payment of $25,000, and the parties agreed to negotiate a definite license agreement for such rights and with proposed terms of the definitive agreement set forth in the MOU. Such rights include FLNL’s rights to use various trademarks of the Company, primarily “Freedom Leaf,” and other related rights, for use in the Netherlands by FLNL, including FLNL’s right to publish a Freedom Leaf magazine in the Netherlands, sell Freedom Leaf products and perform other activities related to the business of the Company. Except for the grant of the right of first refusal, and the required payment has not been received by the Company. FLNL is a shareholder (common stock and warrants to purchase additional common stock) of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our security holders and to the public. This report, therefore, contains statements about future events and expectations which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You can expect to identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” ”will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek” and other similar expressions. Any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved.

 

Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” section of and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company was a startup company that was incorporated in Nevada under the name Arkadia International, Inc. on February 21, 2013.

 

On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard C. Cowan acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Mr. Cowan and Vladimir and Galina Shekhtman (“Sellers”). On the closing date, October 3, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93%.

 

On November 4, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a twelve for one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As the stock split was approved by FINRA, the common share and per common share data in these financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the stock split. The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

 

On November 6, 2014, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Freedom Leaf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Private Company”), and the Company’s sole officer and director Clifford J. Perry (“Perry”), being the owners of record of all of the issued share capital of Freedom Leaf, Inc. (the “FL Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders received an aggregate of 83,401,200 shares (48.1%) our common stock (consisting of a new issuance of shares and Mr. Perry’s transfer of all of his shares) and we received the FL Stock. As a result of the exchange of the FL Stock for the Acquisition Stock (the “Share Exchange”), Freedom Leaf, Inc. became our Company whereas the operations of Arkadia International, Inc. ceased, and there was a change of control of the Company.

 

Prior to the Share Exchange, we were a startup company that originally intended to engage in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars, and goods with the intent to resell these in the in the U.S. territories or export to overseas countries.

 

We have had limited operations and management has determined that we are a “going concern,” based upon our reliance on the sale of our common stock as the sole source of funds for our future operations.

 

The Company is focused on being the premium national and international news source for the Cannabis/Industrial Hemp industry. Through our online and print media channels, our efforts are in dissemination of current legislation and legal news, arts and entertainment. Additional websites and online partnerships are in the development stage that will give the Freedom Leaf brand greater exposure. The Company will generate revenue from paid advertising on both online and print publications as well as consulting fees and incubator fees for companies that want to participate in the Cannabis/Industrial Hemp industry. Another segment of income generation by the Company is brand management for both profit and non-profit organizations. An example is the contract with NORML which was entered into on May 26, 2015. This contract authorizes the Company to undertake all of the commercial activities of NORML, earning income for both the non-profit and the Company.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are currently devoting substantially all of our efforts in the news, multi-media arts and entertainment industry, with both in print and online publications.

As a result, net loss was $459,044 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net loss of $240,883 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

  

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Revenues

 

Our revenue was $100,412 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $579,041 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Direct costs of revenues were $96,398 and $233,936 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decreases in revenues and cost of revenues are attributable to the change in the revenue stream from consulting in 2015 compared to its current operations in 2016.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2016 our general and administrative expenses and marketing and selling expenses were $2,458,129 compared to $603,145 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 resulting in an increase of $1,854,984, contributable to stock-based compensation of $2,148,863 offset by lower expenses for 2016. As a result, net loss was $2,500,831 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net loss of $258,040 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $1,278 in cash. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur a minimum of $50,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2015

 

We used cash in operations of $219,388 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to cash used in operations of $238,337 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 is attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $2,500,831 primarily due to the issuance of common stock for services. Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 is attributable to the Company's net loss of $258,040 offset primarily by increase in prepaid expenses offset by increase in accounts payable to related parties.

 

We used cash in investing or financing activities of $3,235 and $3,998 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

We had cash provided by financing activities of $223,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $233,355 for the same period in 2015. The increase in 2016 was due to proceeds from capital contributed of $8,500, sale of common stock of $10,000, and proceeds from notes payable of $142,500.

 

We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

 

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has generated limited revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $100,412, has recurring net losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $2,500,831, and a working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2016 of $177,252, and used cash in operations of $219,388 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. In addition, as of March 31, 2016, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $379,775 and $3,499,949, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on October 6, 2015, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Adjusted Net Earnings

 

In addition to reporting net loss from operations as defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company presents adjusted net earnings from operations (adjusted net earnings), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted net earnings consist of net loss from operations after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. Adjusted net earnings does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, GAAP measurements such as net loss from operations (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. By eliminating the items shown below, the Company believes that the measure is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies. The Company’s management does not view adjusted net earnings in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net loss from operation and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net earnings for the periods presented:

 

Adjusted Net Loss		For the Nine Months Ended
		March 31,
		2016				2015
Net loss		$	(2,500,831	)		$	(258,040	)
Beneficial conversion feature expense			(43,048	)			–
Adjusted net loss		$	(2,457,783	)		$	(258,040	)
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic and diluted			179,945,164				173,834,533
Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share		$	(0.01	)		$	(0.00	)

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

In addition to reporting net loss from operations as defined under GAAP, the Company also presents adjusted net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization from operations (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss from operations after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, GAAP measurements such as net loss from operations (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

By eliminating the items shown below, the Company believes the measure is useful in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies. The Company’s management uses adjusted EBITDA to manage its business, including in preparing its annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company’s management does not view adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net loss from operations and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

 

Adjusted EBITDA		For the Nine Months Ended
		March 31,
		2016				2015
Net loss from operations		$	(2,500,831	)		$	(258,040	)
Interest expense			(3,668	)			–
Amortization			(381	)			–
Stock-based compensation			(2,148,863	)			–
Beneficial conversion feature expense			(43,048	)			–
Adjusted EBITDA		$	(304,871	)		$	(258,040	)
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic and diluted			179,945,164				173,834,533
Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share		$	(0.00	)		$	(0.00	)

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

A smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the chief executive and interim chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and 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. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that the Company continues to have the following deficiencies which represent a material weakness:

 

1.	The Company intends to appoint additional independent directors;
2.	Lack of in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions;
3.	Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting;
4.	Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

 

To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:

 

	·	The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and appoint additional member(s) to the Audit Committee.
	·	The Company will add sufficient accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.
	·	The Company will hire staff technically proficient at applying U.S. GAAP to financial transactions and reporting.
	·	Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.

 

The additional hiring is contingent upon The Company’s efforts to obtain additional funding through equity or debt and the results of its operations. Management expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Except as set forth above, due to the new business plan, we are in the process of finalizing our controls over the new business process.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
