NOVUS ROBOTICS INC.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Continuance

 

Novus Robotics Inc. (“Novus” or “the Company”) , formerly known as Ecoland International Inc. (“Ecoland”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on June 24, 2005 under the name Guano Distributors, Inc. for the purpose of selling Dry-Bar Cave bat guano. On June 28, 2006, the articles of incorporation were amended to change its name to Ecoland. On March 13, 2012, the articles of incorporation were amended to change the Company’s name to Novus. The Company carries on business in one segment being the engineering, design and the manufacturing of automated tube processing solutions for the automotive industry.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

These interim consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The functional currency of Novus is the Canadian Dollar.

 

The interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results in accordance with General Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been included and properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K and the results for the period ending September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the full year amount.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Novus and its wholly owned subsidiaries D&R Technologies Inc and D&R Tools Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Uses of Estimates

 

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Financial statement items subject to significant judgment include expense accruals, as well as income taxes and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

 

Assets’ carrying values and impairment charges

 

Assets, including property and equipment and inventory, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount exceed their recoverable amounts. In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

 

Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets

 

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company’s control, are feasible, and are within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.

 

Warranty provision

 

In assessing the warranty provision, management makes estimates related to expectations of future repair cost needed to service new seat frame sales under its two year warranty terms. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period

 

Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

The Company is subject to a variety of federal, provincial and state regulations governing land use, health, safety and environmental matters. The Company’s management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s accounts are insured for $100,000 CDN by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation for Canadian bank deposits and are insured for $250,000 by FDIC for US bank deposits.

Factoring Agreement and Accounts Receivable

 

The Company has a financing agreement that included a non-recourse factoring arrangement that provides nonrecourse factoring on the Company’s receivable from its primary customer Johnson Controls, Inc. to assist in its operational cash flow requirements. The factor is based on credit approved orders, assumes the accounts receivable risk of the Company’s customer in the event of insolvency or non-payment. The Company assumes the risk on accounts receivable not factored to which is shown as accounts receivable on the accompanying balance sheets. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, factored accounts receivable were $Nil and $Nil respectively. Finance charges associated with the sale of factored receivable for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $1,117 and $10,041 and are included in office and general expense.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on specific customer information, historical write-off experience and current industry and economic data. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Management believes that there are no concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance has not been established. Although management believes that the allowance is adequate, it is possible that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has not deemed any accounts uncollectible.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Cost of work in progress and finished goods includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company’s inventory balance at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was comprised of work-in-progress. This policy requires D&R to make estimates regarding the market value of our inventory, including an assessment of excess or obsolete inventory. The Company determines excess and obsolete inventory based on an estimate of the future demand and estimated selling prices for its products.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis reflective of the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while additions and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset’s original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

  Estimated
  Useful Life
Office equipment 5 years
Computer equipment 5 years
Delivery trucks 5 years
Shop and Machinery equipment 5 to 10 years

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Gains and losses arising upon settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars then translated into U.S. dollars for reporting in accordance with the ASC 830-30 as follows:

 

● For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date shall be used.

 

For revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, the exchange rate at the dates on which those elements are recognized shall be used.

 

Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

 

The company experienced a large foreign exchange gain in the third quarter of 2016. This has been primarily attributed to the timing of conversion of US dollars funds to Canadian dollars at more favourable exchange rates than when the original sale was recorded. The company identified inconsistencies with its foreign exchange calculations, which were accumulatively adjusted during the period, resulting in an additional foreign exchange during the 3 month period ending September 30, 2016 to conform with our stated policies. In addition, a previously carry forward adjustment of approximately $186,000 was reclassified from the current year foreign exchange to accumulated other comprehensive income in order to align the financial reporting with the disclosed accounting policies.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, which comprise cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll liabilities, loan payable, taxes payable and due to officers/shareholders, approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The authoritative guidance for fair values establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Income Taxes

 

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will be able to utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

 

Recorded in other (income) and expenses are monies recovered relating to non-refundable, federal government Scientific Research & Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) tax credits. Due to the uncertain nature of these expenditures, the Company does not record any amount until such time as the deduction is approved by Canadian provincial and federal governments. SR&ED expenditures relating to 2015 taxation year were applied to recover previously paid taxes for which the Company obtained approval and received the requisite funds in the third quarter of 2016.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. No advertising costs have been incurred by the Company to date.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”) as modified by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104. Under SAB 101, revenue is recognized on a percentage of completions basis and when collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

  1. Spare parts – Revenues and cost of sales are recognized at the time of sale.
     
  2. Service – Revenues and cost of sales are recognized at the time services are performed and accepted by customer via sign off.
     
  3. Seat systems and tooling – progress invoicing to the customer are recorded as deferred revenue. When the projects are installed and accepted by the customer the final invoice is issued and all deferred revenue is recognized along with the related work in process costs for the project. Systems generally take 20-28 weeks to design, manufacture, assemble, and then ship to our various customers. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 customer deposits were $1,296,571 and $349,092 respectively.

 

D&R provides standard warranties for its product from the date of shipment. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded at the time of sale. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded at the time of sale and amortized over the two year warranty period. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, warranty liability was $12,045 and $7,977.

 

Earnings per Common Share

 

Net income per share is provided in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. We present basic income per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be anti-diluted to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share would be computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants. Income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has adopted ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting and the display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners or distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC 220 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under the current accounting standards as a component of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) is displayed in the balance sheet as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company evaluated the following recent accounting updates and are evaluating the potential impact upon adoption:

 

  ASU 2015-02 related to amendments for consolidation analysis
     
  ASU 2015-14 related to deferral of effective date for new revenue recognition standard
     
  ASU 2015-17 related to deferred taxes
     
  ASU 2016-01 related to lease recognition and classification

The convertible notes payable to Berardino Paolucci, CEO, are unsecured, due on demand, accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, and are convertible into shares of our restricted common stock at the rate of $0.005 per share. During fiscal 2014, the Company repaid $176,599 to the assigned note holder. As at September 30, 2016, interest in the amount of $2,795 (December 31, 2015 -$526) is owing and has been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, it was determined that as of the date of the reverse merger and recapitalization between Ecoland and D&R Technologies Inc. on January 27, 2012, there were certain inaccuracies regarding the amounts recorded as owing on the convertible notes payable that were assigned to Mr. Paolucci. These notes were converted for 75,733 common shares in January 2015. Upon making this determination, Mr. Paolucci terminated the transaction, returned his shares to treasury for cancellation and reinstated the convertible notes payable under the terms and conditions referenced above. This reversal of the transaction is deemed to have occurred in 2015 for accounting purposes and the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on the aforementioned notes have been adjusted to reflect the correct balances owing at December 31, 2015.

 

On September 7, 2016, Mr. Paolucci sold the notes including interest to a third party. On October 20, 2016, the third party converted $25,000 of the principal of the note in exchange for 5,000,000 common shares.

An initial payment of $16,900 was made with the balance of the lease to be satisfied in 36 equal monthly payments of approximately $820. The interest rate related to the lease obligation is 14% with a maturity date of November 2018 at which time the option exists to purchase the equipment for $4,600. Minimum lease payments to maturity are as follows:

 

Year Ending December 31:    
2016  $2,755 
2017   9,840 
2018   9,020 
    21,615 
Less: amount representing interest   (3,502)
Present value of minimum lease payments  $18,113 

 

6. COMMON STOCK

 

On October 26, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of one for three hundred reverse stock split of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was affected on January 21, 2016 and reduced the total number of issued and outstanding common shares from 88,650,000 to 295,500. The resultant decrease in the value attributed to the common stock was transferred to Additional Paid In Capital (“APIC”) in the amount of $88,354. All share and related stock option information presented in these consolidated financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to the reduced number of shares resulting from this transaction.

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible on a one-for-one basis into common stock, has all of the voting rights that the holders of the common shares and has the ability to elect three directors.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock (’Series B’) has voting rights whose holders must vote together with the common stock. Each Series B share has the same number of votes equal to 5,000 common shares and in the event of a stock split, share dividend or otherwise for the common shares will retain this voting proportion.

 

On February 25, 2016, the Company approved the purchase of materials relating to the design, construction and operation of robots in automation for medical and surgical purposes valued at $50,000 from Mr. Dino Paolucci, a board member as well as President and CEO and Mr. Drasko Karanovic, a board member, both being related parties, in exchange for 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares and 49,000,000 common shares. The acquired technology was previously held by individuals who also have majority control the Company, resulting in the Company recording the transaction at cost. As such, no value was assigned to the technology purchased and the par value of shares issued was charged against additional paid-in capital.

 

7. CONCENTRATIONS

 

In previous years, the Company had significant economic and commercial dependence on Johnson Controls, Inc. (‘JCI’’). As a result, D&R was subject to significant financial risk in the event of financial distress of JCI. For the year ended December 31, 2015 more than 53% sales and 20% of its receivables was to this entity. During the first three quarter ended September 30, 2016, it was determined that Novus was not economically dependent on JCI.

8. LEASES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

 

The Company leases premises totaling 18,000 square feet with monthly lease payments of approximately CDN$8,400 per month. Total minimum lease payments of CDN$285,600 are required to the lease expiration date on July 31, 2019.

 

D&R Technology failed to comply with Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 regarding registration of its common shares issued to shareholders of D Mecatronics in connection with its spin-off of D&R Technology in 2011. In management’s opinion, any legal liability with this failure to comply has been deemed remote.

 

9. RESTATEMENT

 

In the fiscal year ending 2015,The Company determined that as on January 27, 2012, the date of the reverse merger and recapitalization between Ecoland and D&R Technologies Inc., that it had incorrectly recorded its purchase price deficiency in Additional Paid In Capital rather than in retained earnings. The impact of the restatement was to reclassify the deficiency from APIC to retained earnings such that APIC increased $220,803 and retained earnings decreased by $220,803. The net impact of this transaction had no effect on the net income or comprehensive income or statement of cash flows.

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

 

GENERAL

 

We were formed in the State of Nevada on June 24, 2005 under the name Guano Distributors, Inc. Prior to our incorporation, on April 15, 2005, David Wallace, our then-chief executive officer, chief financial officer and sole director, formed Guano Distributors (Pty) Ltd., a South African registered company, for the purpose of selling Dry-Bar Cave bat guano. On May 15, 2005, Mr. Wallace transferred all of his ownership interest in Guano Distributors (Pty) Ltd. to us. On June 28, 2006, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Ecoland International, Inc.

 

Please note that throughout this Annual Report, and unless otherwise noted, the words “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Novus Robotics,” refers to Novus Robotics Inc.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On October 26, 2015, the Board of Directors and our majority shareholders approved a reverse stock split of one for three hundred (1:300) of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to our Bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes, a vote by the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding votes is required to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Our articles of incorporation do not authorize cumulative voting. As of the record date of October 26, 2015, we had 111,370,000 voting shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The consenting stockholders of the shares of common stock are entitled to 65,564,000 votes, which represented approximately 58.54% of the voting rights associated with our shares of common stock. The consenting stockholders voted in favor of the Reverse Stock Split described herein in a unanimous written consent dated October 26, 2015.

 

The Board of Directors had previously considered factors regarding their approval of the Reverse Stock Split including, but not limited to: (i) the current volume of trading and trading price of our shares of common stock on the OTCQB Market and potential to increase the marketability and liquidity of our common stock based on structuring of potential business operations and acquisition; and (ii) limitation of marketability of our common stock among brokerage firms and institutional investors based upon current per-share price. Our Board of Directors approved the Reverse Stock Split and recommended the majority shareholders of the Company review and approve the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Reverse Stock Split was effected on January 21, 2016 based upon the filing of appropriate documentation with FINRA. The Reverse Stock Split decreased the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 111,370,000 shares to 371,233 shares of common stock. The common stock will continue to be $0.001 par value. The Company’s trading symbol continues to be “NRBT”. Our new cusip number is 670011H207.

Share Exchange Agreement

 

Ecoland International, Inc., now known as Novus Robotics Inc., D&R Technology Inc., a private corporation (“D&R Technology”) and, Berardino Paolucci and Drasko Karanovic, the shareholders of D&R Technology Inc. (the “D&R Shareholders”) entered into that certain share exchange agreement dated January 27, 2012 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Our Board of Directors approved the execution and consummation of the transaction under the Share Exchange Agreement on February 1, 2012. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 59,000,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of our restricted common stock to the D&R Shareholders (which consisted of Messrs. Paolucci and Karanovic and D Mecatronics, which is holding the shares for the benefit of the remaining shareholders of D&R Technology) in exchange for 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of D&R Technology, thus making D&R Technology its wholly-owned subsidiary. Our Board of Directors deemed it in the best interests of our shareholders to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it would acquire all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of D&R Technology. This resulted in a change in control and our overall business operations thus bringing potential value to our shareholders. D&R Technology was previously the wholly-owned subsidiary of D Mecatronics Inc., a Delaware corporation. On approximately November 10, 2011, D Mecatronics spun-off D&R Technology. D&R Technology subsequently issued shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of D Mecatronics on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their respective equity holdings in D Mecatronics. The equity percentages regarding the issuance of shares by D&R Technology were 48% to Berardino Paolucci, 24% to Drasko Karanovic and 28% to various shareholders (which shares were previously held by D Mecatronics on behalf of these shareholders).

 

Escrow Agreement. On June 4, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the execution of that certain escrow agreement dated June 4, 2013 (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Manhattan Transfer Registrar Co., our transfer agent (“Manhattan Transfer”). As disclosed in previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on approximately November 10, 2011, D Mecatronics Inc. (“D Mecatronics”) spun-off our wholly-owned subsidiary, D&R Technology. D&R Technology subsequently issued shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of D Mecatronics on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their respective equity holdings in D Mecatronics. The equity percentages regarding the issuance of shares by D&R Technology were 48% to Berardino Paolucci, 24% to Drasko Karanovic and 28% to various shareholders (which shares were being held by D Mecatronics on behalf of these shareholders). The transfer agent for D Mecatronics at the time of the spin-off was Global Sentry Equity Transfer Inc. (“Global Sentry”). At the time of the spin-off, management of D Mecatronics had attempted on several occasions to contact Global Sentry with regards to its shareholder list and records. However, any and all attempts were to no avail. To date, D Mecatronics has not been able to obtain any of its records, including a shareholders list, from Global Sentry. Management has no knowledge or information as to the whereabouts of Global Sentry or its management nor of the location of its records and shareholders list. This has impeded the issuance of the shares of D&R Technology to the appropriate 28% minority shareholders of D Mecatronics and thus the reason why D Mecatronics was holding the shares in trust for the benefit of its shareholders.

 

Subsequently, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement. Our Board of Directors had approved the execution and consummation of the transaction under the Share Exchange Agreement on February 1, 2012. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 59,000,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of our restricted common stock to the D&R Shareholders (which consisted of Messrs. Paolucci and Karanovic and D Mecatronics, which held the shares for the benefit of the remaining shareholders of D&R Technology) in exchange for 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of D&R Technology, thus making D&R Technology our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Board of Directors deemed it in the best interests of the shareholders to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it would acquire all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of D&R Technology.

 

The majority shareholders of D&R Technology approved the Share Exchange Agreement as did its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of D&R Technology resolved in its board resolutions to issue to D Mecatronics the 16,520,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares to be issued to the missing 28% minority shareholders of D&R Technology (who are also the unknown shareholders of D Mecatronics). Therefore, D Mecatronics held in trust and for the benefit of its unknown shareholders (and as shareholders of D&R Technology) the shares to be issued to them by the Company. D Mecatronics is in the process of attempting to locate the transfer agent in order to obtain its records.

 

 15 
 

 

We are also in the process of locating the missing shareholders of D Mecatronics (and also as shareholders of D&R Technology) to whom our shares should be issued in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement. Therefore, we entered into the Escrow Agreement. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement, D Mecatronics returned to Manhattan Transfer the share certificate evidencing the shares of our common stock issued to it as trustee. A new share certificate was issued to Manhattan Transfer as trustee in the aggregate denomination of 16,520,000 shares to be held in escrow. Together with Manhattan Transfer, we created a shareholders list (the “Shareholders List”) indicating each record owner of the shares. Subsequent to the date of the Escrow Agreement, Manhattan Transfer has released shares to certain of the persons indicated on the Shareholders List. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Manhattan Transfer has issued approximately 5,331,641 of the 16,520,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares held in escrow to the shareholders listed on the Shareholder List.

 

We have placed on our website www.novusrobotics.com under “Investor Relations” contact information to be used by persons/entities that believe they were shareholders of D Mecatronics. Such individuals/entities should contact our management.

 

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

We are involved in the area of engineering, design and manufacture of robotics and automation technology solutions for tube bending machines, which management believes will enable us to become a recognized technology pioneer and market leader in the area of engineering. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, D&R Technology, we will provide state of the art automation technologies through its automated tube bending machines which we design, engineer and build for the automotive industry to solve its customers’ complex automation needs, increase efficiencies and improve manufacturing processes. Serving as a comprehensive engineering partner, we will work with other leading robotic manufacturers to provide the best automation technologies. We will provide automation solutions to a wide spectrum of customers and industries ranging from large Fortune 500 companies to small privately-held businesses. Our automated solutions can be found in manufacturing, assembly and processing lines throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America. D&R Technology, has served the automotive industry for more than twelve years and is currently applying its service solutions to other markets, such as medical robotics, personal robotic devices and water treatment industry. Management believes that increasing use of robotics in sectors such as food handling and processing, clean technology and energy, as well as pharmaceutical and general consumer goods production, will lead to increased demand for company’s products as manufacturers look to improve the speed, quality and reliability of production through automation. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not generated any revenue from the medical robotics, personal robotic devices, water treatment industry, food handling and processing, clean technology and energy or pharmaceutical and general consumer goods production.

 

We are involved in the area of engineering, design and the manufacturing of automated solutions through its automated tube bending machines for the automotive industry and intends to rapidly become one of the leading providers of automated manufacturing solutions, which are used primarily by three of the top ten Tier I automotive part suppliers in the world. We also make precision components and tooling using our own custom-built manufacturing systems, process knowledge and automation technology. We purchase from third parties components for the electrical cabinet, which creates the automation and controls section of the machinery. The electrical cabinet consists of fuses, holders, relays, cables, wiring, controls and sensors, which we purchase from our suppliers, i.e. Gerrie Electric, Beckhoff, Allen Bradley and others. We integrate these purchased parts from our suppliers into our electrical and controls design to make the automated tube bending machines operational. We provide all the programming of the electrical cabinet as well. The computer programming is based upon the specific needs.

 

Our business is in the early development and operating stages. To date, our primary activities include designing and installation of retrofits to existing automated systems, automated spare parts for our tube bending machines, automated maintenance and repairs. We are currently offering products such as Seat Frame Systems, IP Tube systems and Integrated Bend-Weld Systems for the automotive industry. Our primary focus will be placed on product engineering and manufacturing processes as discussed above to ensure the highest quality, product features and efficient manufacturing processing.

 

We are a full service provider of turn-key production solutions, specializing in tubular components for our tube bending machines. Our experience is firmly rooted in fabrication solutions for automated components, such as seat frames and instrument panel beams. Our expertise is in the areas of automation and machinery for computer numerical control (CNC) bending, forming, piercing and laser cutting, which is applicable to a wide range of production solutions. We produce spare parts for the manufacturing equipment we design. We do not produce spare parts for automobiles.

Technology Purchase Agreement

 

On February 25, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the execution of that certain technology purchase agreement dated February 25, 2016 (the “Technology Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and Berardino Paolucci, our President/CEO and a member of the Board of Directors, and Drasko Karanovic, a member of the Board of Directors (collectively, the “Sellers”). The Sellers had previously researched, created and developed medical robotics technology, which deals with the design, construction and operation of robots in automation for medical and surgical purposes (“Medical Robotic Technology”).

 

In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Technology Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to certain assets as follows (the “Assets”):

 

(a) All plans, specifications, drawings, concepts, designs, prototypes, techniques, tools, diagrams, outlines, descriptions, information, data, engineering studies and reports, test results, models, manufacturing processes and flowcharts;

 

(b) All raw materials, supplies, work in progress, finished product and lists of suppliers;

 

(c) All software programs and software code relating thereto, if any and all copies and tangible embodiments of the software programs and software code (in source and object code form), together with all documentation related to such programs and code;

 

(d) All intellectual property rights including, but not limited to, future patent applications, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, exercisable or available in any jurisdiction of the world, and the exclusive right for Purchaser to hold itself out to be the successor to the Medical Robotic Technology business of Sellers;

 

(e) All licenses to the Assets and properties of third parties (including licenses with respect to intellectual property rights owned by third parties);

 

(f) Claims, causes of actions, royalty rights, deposits, and rights and claims to refunds (including tax refunds) and adjustments of any kind (including rights to set-off and recoupment), and insurance proceeds;

 

(g) All Internet domain names and registrations that are held or owned by Sellers which relate or refer to the business or Assets;

 

(h) All franchises, permits, licenses, agreements, waivers, and authorizations from, issued, or granted by any governmental authority; and

 

(i) Copies of marketing and sales information, including potential pricing and customer lists.

 

In further accordance with the terms and provisions of the Technology Purchase Agreement, we issued to each of Messrs. Paolucci and Karanovic 500,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock and 24,500,000 post-Reverse Stock Split shares of restricted common stock. See “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds”.

 

The Sellers each represented and confirmed that Berardino Paolucci is the Chief Executive Officer/President and a member of the Board of Directors and Drasko Karanovic is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, that both Berardino Paolucci and Drasko Karanovic acknowledged and confirmed their fiduciary duties as such, and that Berardino Paolucci and Drasko Karanovic and we have negotiated in good faith with the best interests of our shareholders in consideration of the transaction.

Valuation. Per ASC 850-10, transactions between related parties are quite normal in the course of business. It however, does not contain any measurement or recognition requirements for related-party transactions. Therefore to determine how to treat the value of the transaction, consideration must be given as to whether the Technology Purchase Agreement was in the normal course of business.

 

Management would suggest this is the first step in diversifying our business interests. We have been exclusively catering to the automotive market and a decision has been made to develop a new line of business to assist with the cash flow fluctuations inherent with the ebbs and the flows faced in today’s economy. This event would then suggest it is currently not in the normal course of business to transfer intellectual property not related to its current operation to the corporation from its owners. The transaction would then conceivably be properly recorded in equity to reflect the benefit conferred to the majority shareholders of the business being Mr Paolucci and Mr Karanovic as a reduction of the additional paid-in capital account. As this property was self-constructed and there is no independent valuation, the most conservative estimate would be to value the intangible property at $1.

 

Management has placed a value on the property commensurate with the shares that have been issued. The following analysis considers the alternatives:

 

  1. Prior to the Reverse Stock Split, we had approximately 88,650,000 common shares trading in and around $0.01, resulting in a market cap of $0.9 million.
     
  2. Had the business issued another 50,000,000 common shares to effect this transaction, the number of shares outstanding would have increased to 138,650,000 and resulted in a decline of the price per share of $0.006.
     
  3. Given this is a thinly traded stock and the number of shares that would have been entering the market, it is not unreasonable to assume a dilution of this nature would not have changed the overall market cap of the shares but would arguably significantly reduce the value of the shares.

 

The transfer of intellectual property is not in the normal course of business as we have purchased intellectual property to support our venture into the medical technology field from shareholders. There was no substantive change in ownership interest of the property as Mr. Paolucci and Mr. Karanovic continue to hold the majority equity position after the transaction. Accordingly, the property should be valued at its carrying amount being $0 with the benefit conferred being $50,000 charged against additional paid in capital.

The financial information in the table above is derived from the quarterly unaudited financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. The Corporation’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2015.

 

We generated revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 in the amount of $1,201,139 compared to $1,481,998 generated during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 (a decrease of $280,859) Major components of the revenue mix for change from September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2016 are as follows:

 

  a. Prototypes Parts – increased $29,173_ for prototypes for Adient/JCI projects.
     
  b. Spare Parts – decreased $173,394 for parts not required by many customers including JCI, Toyota, PWO – Kitchener, Van Rob – Mexico and M.I.G. – Athens to replace worn parts.
     
  c. Retrofit Systems – decrease of $105,935.58. We assess old machines and recommend that specified work needs to be done on them. This includes all mechanical , electrical, hydraulic and pneumatics as required. We then replace worn parts on old benders – overhauled benders for JCI- Lakewood Bender #2, MIG-Athens, PWO - Kitchener, JCI-Athens and JCI-Ramos move machines for customers, install additional tooling units on existing benders. Retooling work primarily for in the second quarter of 2016 JCI Mexico and Constellium did not occur in the current period.
     
  d. Seat Frame System – decrease of $67,434.56. There was one larger machine sold in Q1 of 2016.
     
  e. Medical robotics, personal robotic devices and water treatment industry – We have not generated revenue from these sources as yet and will continue to investigate opportunities in these areas to augment its core business.

 

Cost of sales: During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, cost of sales was $751,820 compared to $974,819 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 (a decrease of $222,999). The change in products sold in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 contributed to a decrease in our gross margin over the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. Ongoing work for prototype parts and retrofit systems where the majority of the costs are borne by the customer assisted in offsetting the lower product margins generated on the sale of seat frames in 2015. With the mix change as noted above being revenue primarily for the much lower seat frame system, the cost of sales increased markedly in 2016 versus 2015.

 

Gross Profit. Thus, based on the above, our gross profit decreased to $449,319 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 from $507,179 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

 

 19 
 

 

Operating expenses: During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $574,597 compared to operating expenses incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 of $666,572 (a decrease of $91,975). Operating expenses include: (i) compensation of $368,799 (2015: $445,469); (ii) occupancy costs of $51,592 (2015: $51,557); (iii) travel of $27,102 (2015: $37,503); (iv) professional fees of $40,287 (2015: $101,019); (v) communication of $7,678 (2015: $8,768); and (vi) office and general of $79,139 (2015: $22,256). In respect of compensation, less labor charges were capitalized to the work in process projects during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 due to the timing and completion of specific projects resulting in a reduction of $76,670 being charged in 2016. Travel decreased by $10,401 as we focused on acquiring new customers and opportunities locally during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Professional fees fell by $60,732 in the third quarter of 2016 as the additional charges associated with the change in auditors during this time frame in 2015 did not recur. Office and general expenses increased by $56,883 due to an accrual for factored receivable charges of approximately $30,000 which was not recorded in 2015.

 

Income from Operations. Thus, this resulted in a loss before other income of ($125,278) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to a loss before other income of ($159,393) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

 

Other Income (Expense). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, we recorded ($29,256) in other expense as compared to $238,064 in other income in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. The continued weakening Canadian dollar in 2016 against the United States dollar resulted during the nine month period September 30, 2016 in a foreign exchange loss of $61,057 compared to a gain of $164,538 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 on denominations transacted and settled in foreign currencies, primarily being sales to the United States from which the monies are being converted and used to satisfy Canadian dollar operational requirements. We recovered $31,800 in expenses associated with recovery of scientific research and development expenditures during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to $73,526 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

 

Net income (loss). Thus, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, this resulted in net income (loss) of ($154,535) compared to net income of $78,671 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

 

Other Comprehensive Gain (Loss). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a foreign exchange adjustment of $950 as compared to ($268,442) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

 

Comprehensive Loss. Thus, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, our comprehensive loss was ($153,585) or ($0.00) per share compared to a comprehensive loss of ($189,771) or ($0.27) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 34,218,577 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to 295,500 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

 

Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2015.

 

We generated revenue during the three month period ended September 30, 2016 in the amount of $53,619 compared to $467,642 generated during the three month period ended September 30, 2015 (a decrease of $414,023).

Comprehensive Income (Loss). Thus, during the three month period ended September 30, 2016, our comprehensive gain was $486,665 or $0.00 per share compared to a comprehensive loss of ($195,935) or ($0.09) for the three month period ended September 30, 2015.

PLAN OF OPERATION

 

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase capacity, inventory purchase, sales distribution, and general corporate purposes. We are in the process of being accepted as a global prototype supplier by Johnson Controls compared to our prior role as a supplier for North America. We had been involved in discussions with Johnson Controls regarding prototypes and parts production. Johnson Controls visited our facility during early 2012 to conduct an audit for global recommendation. Their goal was to understand the processes we use to run the business and the controls that we have in place so that we were assured to have utmost control over the quality of work. The audit was based on our employees and their qualifications, data management, processes, tooling and equipment and parts and material management. Johnson Controls conducted a tour of our facility, which was followed up with a final review on May 3, 2012. Subsequently we received a call from Johnson Controls stating that we had been accepted and recommended for their global work. Therefore, we have been accepted for global work and thus provided the basis for previously disclosed projections. We may achieve those revenue projections during fiscal year 2016, however, we may also not achieve that level of revenue.

 

We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of equipment, purchase of inventory, and the expansion of its business, through cash flow provided by operations and funds raised through proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity.

 

With a flexible labor force, workers are hired on a project by project basis, and strong inventory management, we are able to manage our cash flow to meet the ever changing needs of the business. We can expand and contract very quickly based on customer demand. Our major customers, JCI and Constellium, are consistently submitting new projects. We have $549,319. of project work in process at the end of June 30, 2016 with a total contract value of approximately $1,900,025.00. We have received committed future orders of over $487,034.00, which are anticipated to be completed during the second half of 2016. Other revenue opportunities have historically materialized to supplement this revenue being service and retooling.

 

We have not paid any sums for public relations or investor relations.

 

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

 

Other than the lease obligation and convertible notes described below, we have no other reportable material commitments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

 

Lease

 

We entered into a lease to purchase equipment in November of 2015. An initial payment of $16,900 was made with the balance of the lease to be satisfied in 36 equal monthly payments of approximately $820. The interest rate related to the lease obligation is 14% with a maturity date of November 2018 at which time the option exists to purchase the equipment for $4,600. Minimum lease payments to maturity for fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are as follows, respectively: (i) $2,755; (ii) $9,840; and (iii) $9,020.

 

Convertible Notes

 

On August 26, 2016, Berardino Paolucci, our President/Chief Executive Officer, entered into those certain debt purchase agreements dated August 26, 2016 (each, the “Debt Purchase Agreement”), which Debt Purchase Agreement was consummated on September 2, 2016 with payment of consideration.

 

It was previously reported and disclosed that we had issued: (i) that certain convertible promissory note dated December 15, 2006 in the principal amount of $60,000.00 (the “Treanor Convertible Note”), to Stephen Treanor (“Treanor”), which a portion of the principal and accrued interest in the amount of $36,000 was subsequently settled pursuant to the terms and provisions of that certain settlement agreement dated December 15, 2009 between us and Treanor (the “Treanor Settlement Agreement”); (ii) that certain convertible promissory note dated April 15, 2008 in the principal amount of $40,000.00 (the “Boyle Convertible Note”), to Donna Boyle (“Boyle”), which all the principal and accrued interest in the amount of $41,600.00 was subsequently settled pursuant to the terms and provisions of that certain settlement agreement dated December 15, 2009 between us and Boyle (the “Boyle Settlement Agreement”); and (iii) that certain convertible promissory note dated December 15, 2006 in the principal amount of $60,000.00 (the “Russell Convertible Note”), to Raymond Russell (“Russell”), which a portion of the principal and accrued interest in the amount of $36,000 was subsequently settled pursuant to the terms and provisions of that certain settlement agreement dated December 15, 2009 between us and Russell (the “Russell Settlement Agreement”).

 

 23 
 

 

It was further previously disclosed that in accordance with the terms and provisions of that certain share exchange agreement dated January 27, 2012 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) between us and D Mecatronics Inc., a private corporation (“D Mecatronics”) and the shareholders of D Mecatronics (the “D Mecatronics Shareholders”), we acquired all of the total issued and outstanding shares of D Mecatronics in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock to the D Mecatronic Shareholders and the assignment the Treanor Convertible Note, the Boyle Convertible Note and the Russell Convertible Note to Mr. Paolucci.

 

Debt Purchase Agreements

 

As of the date of the Debt Purchase Agreements, the aggregate amount that remained due and owing under the Treanor Convertible Note, the Boyle Convertible Note and the Russell Convertible Note was $39,864.00 (the “Debt”). Mr. Paolucci was the holder of all right, title and interest in and to the Debt due and owing by us, which Debt is evidenced on the audited and reviewed financial statements of the Company commencing as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, two separate unrelated parties entered into a separate Debt Purchase Agreement with Mr. Paolucci for payment of consideration each in the amount of $12,500.00 (each, the “Purchase Price”) and Mr. Paolucci sold and transferred all of his respective right, title and interest, including conversion rights of $0.005 per share, in and to the Debt.

 

This debt was converted on October , 2016,

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these interim financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended as a brief discussion of some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

 

Uses of Estimates

 

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Financial statement items subject to significant judgment include expense accruals, as well as income taxes and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

 

 24 
 

 

Assets’ carrying values and impairment charges

 

Assets, including property and equipment and inventory, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount exceed their recoverable amounts. In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

 

Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets

 

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company’s control, are feasible, and are within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period. The Company is current on its Canadian tax filings through

2015, however is not current on its US tax filings.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2016, we had no cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2016, our accounts are insured for $100,000 CDN by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation for Canadian bank deposits and are insured for $250,000 by FDIC for US bank deposits. The entirety of our US bank deposits are insured at September 30, 2016.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory, comprised principally of raw materials, is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. This policy requires D&R to make estimates regarding the market value of our inventory, including an assessment of excess or obsolete inventory. We determine excess and obsolete inventory based on an estimate of the future demand and estimated selling prices for its products.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We extend credit to our customers in the normal course of business. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on specific customer information, historical write-off experience and current industry and economic data. Account balances are charged-off against the allowance when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Management believes that there are no concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance should be established. Although management believes that no allowance is needed, it is possible that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we have not deemed any accounts uncollectible.

 

 25 
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”) as modified by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104. Under SAB 101, revenue is recognized when the project is complete, and when collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 

  1. Spare parts – Revenues and cost of sales are recognized at the time of sale.
     
  2. Service – Revenues and cost of sales are recognized at the time services are performed and accepted by customer via sign off.
     
  3. Seat systems and tooling – progress invoicing to the customer are recorded as deferred revenue. When the projects are installed and accepted by the customer the final invoice is issued and all deferred revenue is recognized along with the related work in process costs for the project. Systems generally take 20-28 weeks to design, manufacture, assemble, and then ship to our various customers.

 

D&R provides standard warranties for its product from the date of shipment. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded at the time of sale and amortized over the two year warranty period as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, warranty liability was $12,290.64 and $10,654.74, respectively.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required for smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective:

 

  to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file 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, and
     
  to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of 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 will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

 

 26 
 

 

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016, management identified significant deficiencies related to: (i) the absence of an Audit Committee as of September 30, 2016; and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.

 

We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, including Section 404, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. In an effort to improve our internal control environment, management has engaged a Chartered Accountant to review the work prepared by the controller. He is independent of the daily accounting function. He prepares the quarterly financial statement after reviewing and recommending adjustments to the records based on his analysis of the financial information presented. This review includes vouching and reconciling key accounts to source documents.

 

In order to correct the foregoing weaknesses, we have taken certain further remediation measures and designed new internal controls and procedures to ensure: (a) effectiveness and efficiency of operations; (b) reliability of financial reporting; and (c) compliance with laws and regulations. To that end, management will provide a controlled environment which organizes and influences its people.

 

(a) Management is establishing an information and communication system for its executives and employees allowing them to carry out their responsibilities in an organized and process driven manner.
   
(b) The firm engaged the Chartered Accountant to assist with: (a) compiling and maintaining our financial records; (b) assisting the bookkeeping staff with proper recording of transactions; (c) maintaining permanent accounting records and proper backup procedures; and (d) providing continuous monitoring of accounting functions throughout the company. In addition, the Chartered Accountant will perform a risk assessment which identifies and analyzes the relevant risks management should address in order to achievement of its objectives. The Chartered Accountant will also assist with the preparation of written policies and procedures that will help ensure management directives are carried out.
   
(c) Our President/Chief Executive Officer is serving as the point of communication between us and the audit firm. Communication between our President/Chief Executive Officer and the audit firm’s engagement partner has been established to ensure that the audit is aware of management’s intent and actions.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, no progress toward remediation of our previously disclosed material weaknesses has been implemented.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our CEO and our CFO have concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

There were no changes in internal controls for the three month period ended September 30, 2016.

Our Board of Directors has not established an audit committee. The respective role of an audit committee has been conducted by our Board of Directors. We intend to establish an audit committee during fiscal year 2016. When established, the audit committee’s primary function will be to provide advice with respect to our financial matters and to assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, and legal compliance. The audit committee’s primary duties and responsibilities will be to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of our independent accountants; (iii) evaluate our quarterly financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (iv) oversee management’s establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of communication among the independent accountants, management and our Board of Directors.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Technology Purchase Agreement

 

On March 15, 2016 and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Technology Purchase Agreement, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate 500,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock and 24,500,000 post-Reverse Stock Split shares of restricted common stock to each of Berardino Paolucci, our President/Chief Executive Officer, and Drasko Karanovic.

 

The shares were valued at par and issued in a private transaction to the two non-United States residents in reliance on Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). None of the shares have been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and, therefore, may not be offered or sold without registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

 

Cancellation of Shares

 

Our Board of Directors has been advised by our current auditors that at the time of financial accounting and treatment of consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, there were inaccuracies regarding the amounts recorded due and owing under the Russell Convertible Note, the Treanor Convertible Note and the Boyle Convertible Note and hence the amounts that we were still contractually obligated on the respective notes were also incorrect. Therefore, Mr. Paolucci has returned to the transfer agent his share certificate evidencing the issuance of the 22,720,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of restricted common stock and, as reduced to 75,733 shares of common stock per the Reverse Stock Split, returned the 75,733 shares to treasury.
