NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Biotech Products Services and Research, Inc. (formerly Bespoke Tricycles Inc.) (“BPSR” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 9, 2011 in the State of Nevada. On May 29, 2015, Albert Mitrani acquired controlling interest of BPSR through the purchase of 135,000,000 shares of common stock from John Goodhew and subsequently became a director and the sole officer of BPSR. Until October 30, 2015, the Company’s business included the designing, manufacturing, and selling vending tricycles for commercial customers.

 

On October 30, 2015, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with John Goodhew, the Company's director, pursuant to which all of the shares of Bespoke Tricycles, Ltd. (“Bespoke”), a corporation organized under the Laws of England and Wales, were transferred to Mr. Goodhew. As a result of such sale, the Company was no longer in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling vending tricycles. The purchase price for the shares sold to Mr. Goodhew was $10. The results of Bespoke are reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements.

 

Since the change in control of our Company in June 2015 and change in the Company’s operations in July 2015, the Company has been engaged in the health care industry, principally focusing on supplying products and services related to the growing field of regenerative anti-aging medicine.

 

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the Company operated through the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Beyond Cells Corp., a Florida corporation (“Beyond Cells”) formed with a business purpose to provide anti-aging and cellular therapy patient marketing and product sales; General Surgical of Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation (“General Surgical”) with a business purpose to sell cellular therapy products to doctors and hospitals, Anu Life Sciences, Inc. (“ANU”), a Florida corporation with a business purpose of the development, production and manufacturing of anti-aging and cellular therapy products, and Mint Organics, Inc. (“Mint Organics”) a Florida corporation and a 55%-owned subsidiary of the Company with a business purpose of operating Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (“MMTC”) for defined MMTC licensed activities. ANU began operations during November 2016 and commenced sales of its first product offering during February 2017. Mint Organics began operations during February 2017, and also during February 2017, the Company established Mint Organics Florida, Inc., (“Mint Organics Florida”), a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mint Organics with a business purpose of operating Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (“MMTC”) for defined MMTC licensed activities within Florida. Subsequent to the formation of Mint Organics and Mint Organics Florida, both entities have issued minority non-voting equity interests.

 

Ethan New York, Inc., a New York corporation (“Ethan NY”), formed with a business purpose of selling clothing and accessories through a retail store, closed operations during June 2016 and the results of Ethan NY are reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation including adjusted footnotes to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations as further discussed in Note 12.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The balance sheet items that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Balances in accounts are insured up to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits of $250,000 per institution. At July 31, 2017, the Company did not have any cash balances in financial institutions in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States 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 year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions.

 

The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from 3 to 5 years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

At July 31, 2017, the Company had 158,137,484 common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for the nine months ended July 31, 2017. At July 31, 2016, the Company had 1,737,484 common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for the nine months ended July 31, 2016.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.

 

Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is required to file a consolidated tax return that includes all of its subsidiaries.

 

Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability basis whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. For the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has incurred operating losses, and therefore, there were not any tax expense amounts recorded during that period.

 

Valuation of Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that 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 (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 ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815.

 

The Company utilized Monte Carlo Simulation models that value the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

 

 

BIOTECH PRODUCTS SERVICES AND RESEARCH, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The derivative liabilities result in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the Convertible Notes. This derivative liability is marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement. Unamortized discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Convertible Note.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company includes fair value information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made.

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to its financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s convertible promissory notes (see Note 6) which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 as of July 31, 2017 are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities as of July 31, 2017:

 

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level three — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company’s derivative liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company classifies the fair value of the derivative liability under level three.

 

Based on ASC Topic 815 and related guidance, the Company concluded the common stock issuable pursuant to conversion of the convertible promissory notes are required to be accounted for as derivatives as of the issue date due to a reset feature on the exercise price. At the date of issuance common stock derivative liabilities were measured at fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The Company records the fair value of these derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities.” These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815-10 and are disclosed on the balance sheet under Derivative Liabilities.

Further, and in accordance with ASC 815, the embedded derivatives are revalued using a Monte Carlo Simulation model at issuance and at each balance sheet date and marked to fair value with the corresponding adjustment as a “gain or loss on change in fair values” in the consolidated statement of operations. As of July 31, 2017, the fair value of the derivative liabilities included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $678,433. During the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2017, the Company recognized a gain on change in the fair value totaling $35,321 and $81,136, respectively.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these securities under level three of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The following table presents liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of July 31, 2017 on a recurring and non-recurring basis:

 

Description		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Gains (Losses)
Derivatives		$	-			$	-			$	678,433			$	81,136
Fair Value at July 31, 2017		$	-			$	-			$	678,433			$	81,136

 

Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Disclosures are required if there is substantial doubt as to the company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of financial statements. The standard provides guidance for making the assessment, including consideration of management’s plans, which may alleviate doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard for the year ending October 31, 2016, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued by the FASB that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this update had no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after July 31, 2017 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has had limited revenues since its inception. The Company incurred a net loss of $8,124,079 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,153,368 at July 31, 2017. The Company had a negative working capital position of $2,707,416 at July 31, 2017. The Company’s efforts to establish a stabilized source of sufficient revenues to cover operating costs has yet to be achieved and ultimately may prove to be unsuccessful unless additional sources of working capital through operations or debt and/or equity financings are realized. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management anticipates that the Company will remain dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund ongoing operating expenses. All of the Company’s assets are currently pledged in connection with the SPA and as a result does not have any assets to pledge for the purpose of borrowing additional capital. The Company’s current market capitalization and common stock liquidity will hinder its ability to raise equity proceeds. The Company anticipates that future sources of funding, if any, will therefore be costly and dilutive. if available at all.

 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet assumes that (1) the Company will be able to establish a stabilized source of revenues, (2) obligations to the Company’s creditors are not accelerated, (3) the Company’s operating expenses remain at current levels and/or the Company is successful in restructuring and/or deferring ongoing obligations, (4) the Company obtains additional working capital to meet its contractual commitments and maintain the current level of Company operations through debt or equity sources.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete its revenue growth strategy or otherwise obtain sufficient working capital to cover ongoing cash requirements. Without sufficient cash reserves, the Company’s ability to pursue growth objectives will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, despite significant efforts since July 2015, the Company has thus far been unsuccessful in achieving a stabilized source of revenues. If revenues do not increase and stabilize or if additional funds cannot otherwise be raised, the Company might be required to seek other alternatives which could include the sale of assets, closure of operations and/or protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws.

SPA - Convertible Promissory Note

 

On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 29, 2017 (“SPA”), with an unaffiliated “accredited investor” (“Agent”), Dr. Bruce Werber, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Werber”), and Ian T. Bothwell, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and member of the Board of Directors (“Bothwell”) (each, including its successors and assigns, a “Purchaser“ and collectively, the “Purchasers”). The transactions contemplated by the SPA were consummated on April 3, 2017.

 

Purchase and Sale

 

Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchasers shall be entitled to purchase a 10% Original Issue Discount Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee in the principal amount of up to $1,666,667, corresponding to a subscription amount of up to $1,500,000 (“Note”). The purchase of the Note is to occur in several tranches (each a “Tranche”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. In connection with the terms of the SPA, the Purchasers agreed to subscribe to the initial Tranche through the second Tranche for an amount in the aggregate of up to $600,000 (subject to adjustment as described in the SPA) corresponding to an aggregate of up to $666,667 in principal amount of the Note. The initial Tranche of $475,000 (which correlates to a principal amount of $527,778 of the Note) was consummated on the closing of the SPA, of which an aggregate of $300,000 (which correlates to a principal amount of $333,333 of the Note) was funded through the rollover of unreimbursed advances and expenses made to the Company by Werber and Bothwell prior to the closing date of the SPA and the remaining $175,000 was funded at Closing by the Agent. The second Tranche is for $125,000 ($138,889 in principal amount of the Note) and will be funded to the Company by the Agent upon the Company’s request, subject to certain conditions contained in the SPA.

 

Subject to the acceleration and/or prepayment provisions as provided for in the SPA, all unpaid principal, fees and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note shall be due and payable in full on March 31, 2018.

 

The unpaid principal amount of the Note shall accrue interest at 10% per annum, provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default as defined in the SPA, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest and all other overdue amounts shall each bear interest until paid at the rate of 18% per annum. Additionally, in the event that the publicly traded price of the common stock falls below $0.0125 for 3 consecutive trading days, then the Note shall accrue interest at the default interest rate. During the period April 27, 2017 to May 1, 2017, the closing price of the common stock fell below $0.0125 and accordingly beginning May 2, 2017, the default interest rate of 18% is in effect. Accrued interest shall be payable commencing on June 30, 2017, and continuing on the last business day of each subsequent calendar quarter. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $23,598 and $27,646, respectively. The Company made the required interest payment of $23,164 on June 30, 2017. In the event of a conversion of this Note prior to the maturity date, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be added to the principal amount being converted as of the date of conversion to determine the amount of securities into which the Note shall be converted.

 

In connection with the terms of the SPA, as of September 19, 2017, the Company has reserved 82,008,230 shares of the authorized common stock of the Company in favor of the Agent and is obligated to ensure that there is an adequate number of reserved shares in favor of the Agent in the future in accordance with the provisions contained in the SPA.

 

In connection with the terms of the SPA, the Company issued the Agent, Werber and Bothwell a total of 2,000,000, 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company (“Commitment Shares”), respectively, valued in the aggregate at $63,580, based on the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on the date the stock was issued.

 

The Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time, provided however that any prepayment amount will be subject to a prepayment penalty of 20% to 40% based on the date that the prepayment is made. At any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the closing date and until this Note is no longer outstanding, any outstanding principal portion of this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company at the option of each Purchaser (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in the SPA). The conversion price in effect on any conversion date shall be equal to the lower of (i) $0.15, and (ii) 60% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price in the 20 trading days prior to the conversion date. Under the terms of the SPA, Bothwell and Werber are not eligible to convert their portion of the Note until the Agent has been fully repaid.

According to the SPA, the Purchasers may fund the Company in different Subscription Amounts at each closing after the second Tranche and are not required to participate in each such subsequent Tranche. In the event that any Purchaser does not participate in any Tranche after the second Tranche, the remaining Purchasers shall have the right to participate in such Tranche in an amount up to 100% of the entire Tranche. In the event that such participating Purchasers do not collectively fund 100% of the desired Tranche amount, then the Company shall be permitted to request from any Person (as defined in the SPA) the remaining amount, so long as such Person(s) agree to execute the SPA (and further, the Company and the Purchasers agree to amend the Agreement and the Note as necessary). The Company is not obligated to consummate any additional Tranche fundings subsequent to the second Tranche.

 

The SPA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for similar transactions by the Company and Purchasers, including restrictions on incurrence of future indebtedness and/or issuance of equity. In addition, included in the covenants was a covenant made by the Company to be up to date with all of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission by July 15, 2017, including without limitation, all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company met the required deadline for such filings.

 

The Company used the proceeds received at closing from the initial tranche for general working capital purposes and the repayment of all outstanding obligations owing in connection with the $15,000 Note Payable, the $50,000 Note Payable, and the $35,000 Note Payable.

 

In connection with the SPA, the Company recorded original issue discount of $116,458 consisting of the discount in the aggregate cash received at closing and the intrinsic value of the Commitment Shares. In addition, the Company performed an independent valuation (using “Monte Carlo Simulation Models”) of the underlying value attributable to the embedded derivatives liabilities associated with the Notes at the issuance date (the Notes contain full ratchet reset provisions and variable market based conversion derivative features) and determined that the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Note was $759,569. As a result, the Company has recorded the amount of the derivative liabilities at the time of closing as a reduction of the remaining initial carrying amount of the Notes of $411,320 (as unamortized discount) and the excess amount of $348,249 after reducing the initial carrying amount of the Note to $0, as interest expense. The derivative liability will be marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement.

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $35,321 associated with change in fair value at July 31, 2017 from the fair value previously determined as of the last fair value valuation performed at April 30, 2017, and a cumulative gain of $81,136 for the period from the closing date though July 31, 2017. Unamortized discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Note ($40,222 and $79,263 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017).

 

Mint Organics Inc.

 

On June 22, 2017, Mint Organics entered into an unsecured loan agreement with a third party and a principal balance of $60,000, an annual interest rate of 10%, and all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding principal are due on the one-year anniversary of the note. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $657 and $657, respectively.

 

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.

 

 

BIOTECH PRODUCTS SERVICES AND RESEARCH, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

The Company's derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the instrument.

 

The following table summarizes the derivative liability activity for the period ending July 31, 2017:

 

Description		Derivative Liabilities
Fair value at October 31, 2016		$	-
Change due to issuances			759,569
Change in fair value			(81,136	)
Fair value at July 31, 2017		$	678,433

 

For the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2017, net change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $35,321 and $81,136, respectively.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these securities under level three of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation model that values the liability of the Convertible Notes based on a risk neutral valuation where the price of the option is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculate the associated conversion value (i.e. "payoff") of the note (limited buy a percentage of trading volume) for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to the date of valuation resulting in the fair value of the option. The valuation of the embedded derivatives within the convertible note was completed with the following assumptions:

 

Assumptions		April 3, 2017				July 31, 2017
Dividend yield			0.00	%			0.00	%
Risk-free rate for term			1.14	%			1.27	%
Volatility			254.7	%			274.8	%

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

 

The following discussion of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. Unless stated otherwise, the words “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “BPSR” in this section collectively refer to Biotech Products Services and Research, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

Since the change in control of our Company in June 2015 and change in the Company’s operations in July 2015, we have been engaged in the health care industry, principally focusing on supplying products and services related to the growing field of regenerative anti-aging medicine (“RAAM”). Our goal is to supply newly designed advanced biologically processed cellular and tissue based products developed from internally based research and development activities and/or from other state-of-the-art RAAM-related products developed by third parties under exclusive supply arrangements and to provide other related services used in the growing health care field of regenerative medicine (“RAAM Products”). We intend to distribute the RAAM Products and market RAAM-related services to the health care industry and a referral network of doctors and clinics (collectively, the “Providers”), through our newly established in-house sales force and/or through arrangements with independent distributors.

 

Revenues from these above activities during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 did not increase as projected primarily due to the Company’s ongoing cash constraints which limited the ability of the Company to attract and retain sales personnel and the level of advertising and social media marketing efforts that could be deployed towards increasing revenues. In addition, costs charged from the suppliers of the Company’s products were higher than projected due to the Company’s inability to provide certain minimum guaranteed purchase commitments, which further impacted the Company’s ability to attract distributors to supply and market its products, primarily due to the lower commissions that could be offered to the potential distributors as a result of the higher product costs and the Company’s need to achieve minimum gross margins, and the inability for the Company to negotiate terms with these suppliers to provide the Company with private labeling and/or granting of exclusive sales territories, factors important to many distributors. As a result of the above, the Company determined during November 2016 that it would immediately focus on implementing its strategy to develop products internally in order to effectively position itself and compete in the RAAM market, provide the Company with improved margins obtained on the sale of its products, and to increase revenues resulting from the ability to differentiate its products as superior to its competitors combined with leveraging existing marketing programs and strategies aimed to attract distributors and Providers.

 

During January 2017, Anu Life Sciences Inc. (“Anu”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, announced that it successfully completed several trial production runs of its first amnion placental tissue product (“New Amnio Product”). During February 2017, the Company received satisfactory validation for its first production batch of the New Amnio Product and commenced shipping the New Amnio Product to customers. The New Amnio Product is being sold through Anu’s designated distributor and affiliate, General Surgical Florida Inc. (“General Surgical”), under the name “Regen Anu Rheo.” The Company expects to increase production of the New Amnio Product in quantities to ensure there is satisfactory inventory to meet anticipated demand.

 

In connection with the new regulations recently enacted as of November 8, 2016 by the Florida state legislature that permits Florida residents to apply to open Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (“MMTC”) for defined MMTC licensed activities, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement, effective February 14, 2017 (the “Agreement”), with two accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company formed and capitalized a new 55%-owned subsidiary, Mint Organics, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Mint Organics”). Mint Organics intends to explore, develop and to provide products and services in connection with the MMTC activities that it is licensed to operate.

 

 

Currently, our RAAM-related operations are conducted through the following wholly-owned subsidiaries*:

 

	●	Anu Life Sciences, Inc., a Florida corporation formed with a business purpose to manufacture newly designed advanced biologically processed cellular and tissue based products developed from internally based research and development activities (“Anu”);
	●	Beyond Cells Corp., a Florida corporation formed with a business purpose to provide consumers with education regarding the field of regenerative and anti-aging and medicine and providing access to a specialized physician network (“Beyond Cells”);
	●	General Surgical Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation with a business purpose of selling and distributing regenerative biologic therapies based on amnion placental tissue derived products to doctors and hospitals (“General Surgical”);

 

Currently, our MMTC activities are being conducted through the following subsidiaries*:

 

	●	Mint Organics, Inc., a Florida corporation with a business purpose of operating Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (“MMTC”) for defined MMTC licensed activities (“Mint Organics”); and
	●	Mint Organics Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation and a subsidiary of Mint Organics with a business purpose of operating Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (“MMTC”) for defined MMTC licensed activities within Florida (“Mint Organics Florida”).

 

* Mint Organics and Mint Organics Florida have issued minority non-voting equity interests.

 

Current and Future Operations:

 

Our current strategy is to achieve the following goals and milestones:

 

●

Research and Development and Product Development:

 

	●	Increase the number of RAAM product offerings for various modalities using proprietary processing, formulas and administration techniques;
	●	Engage researchers that bring additional expertise and capacity to develop ongoing research and development and growth opportunities for additional RAAM-related products;
	●	Increase the capacity our existing research and manufacturing lab facilities to accommodate additional expansion and product development;
	●	Perform clinical based studies associated with our products and ongoing research and seek accelerated approval for each product application in accordance with the 21st Century Cures Act (“Cures Act”) and/or through the granting of an FDA-approved biologics application (BLA) to allow products to be lawfully marketed in the United States;
	●	Identify sources of exclusive and superior suppliers of raw materials; and
	●	Acquisition of existing IP consistent with our product strategy.

 

●

Develop and expand the distribution of our internally developed RAAM related products, including the New Amnio Product by:

 

	●	Extending the referral network of Providers;
	●	Engaging additional in-house sales personnel;
	●	Selectively engaging independent distributors;
	●	Marketing Private Label to distributors; and
	●	Developing and providing educational programs for Providers regarding our products.

 

 

●

Develop the MMTC business segment:

 

	●	Engage consultants to lobby on behalf of the Company in our efforts to obtain a license to operate MMTC dispensaries;
	●	Identify and establish key relationships with growers and processors of cannabis for the purpose of securing reliable and superior supply of products;
	●	Develop sources of financing to fund the expected capital needed to comply with the financial requirements of license applicants and to be prepared to timely construct and operate dispensaries once a license is received; and
	●	Identify potential partners that might facilitate and/or enhance opportunities to obtain licenses and/or enhance the operation of planned dispensaries.

 

●

Secure additional working capital to

 

	●	Fund ongoing expenses until revenues are stabilized and to fund desired facility expansion and research and development projects;
	●	Develop and expand our sales and distribution capabilities in order to obtain revenues objectives;
	●	Perform ongoing research and development for new product offerings;
	●	Enter into strategic relationships that will allow us to acquire desired IP or other objectives; and
	●	Begin clinical based studies

 

Since inception, we have incurred net operating losses. Losses have principally occurred as a result of our inability to increase and stabilize revenues which have remained insufficient as a result of a lack of working capital to (a) fund effectively the marketing of our products, (b) the ability to attract and retain needed personnel and/or (c) to fund the expansion into other growth opportunities, including the substantial resources required for research and development. We expect operating losses to continue. Our available funds combined with our current revenue levels will not fund current levels of ongoing general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We expect to need additional financing to develop, produce market our products and to cover the general and administrative expenses of the Company.

 

Results of Operations from Discontinued Operations

 

During September 2015, the Company formed Ethan New York, Inc., a New York corporation (“Ethan NY”) for the purpose of selling clothing and accessories through a retail store. On September 3, 2015, Ethan NY entered into a five-year lease agreement (“Ethan Lease”) for a store located in New York City, New York. The Ethan Lease commenced on October 1, 2015. Under the terms of the Ethan Lease, Ethan NY provided an $18,585 security deposit and a former employee of Ethan NY provided a personal guaranty for a portion of the amounts due under the Ethan Lease. During June 2016, Ethan NY exited from its leased premises and the Ethan NY operations were closed. As a result, the operations of Ethan NY have been reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements. Ethan NY did not make any of the required minimum monthly lease payments pursuant to the Ethan Lease totaling $586,242 (excluding late fees and interest provided for under the Ethan Lease).. All of Ethan NY’s obligations under the Ethan Lease are recourse only to the assets at Ethan NY, except for certain obligations under the Ethan Lease that were guaranteed by a former employee. Under the terms of the Ethan Lease, the obligations of Ethan NY for future rents are to be mitigated based on the amount of any future rents that are received for the rental of the leased premises to other tenants during the initial term. During August 2016, Ethan NY received confirmation that the leased premises had been leased to another tenant. In connection with the termination of the Ethan Lease, Ethan NY has made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the landlord for the purpose of obtaining a settlement and release for any amounts that the landlord may claim are owing under the Ethan Lease, if any. Ethan NY is not aware of any claim pending or threatened in connection with the Ethan Lease.

 

Results of Operations

 

As a result of the discontinuation of the Ethan NY business in June 2016, our continuing operations only consist of the Patient Referral and Product Sales business which commenced on July 1, 2015 and were briefly suspended beginning November 2016, as the Company began to implement its strategy of developing and producing its own line of RAAM products. Revenues resumed in February 2017 as the first of the Company’s products developed became available for sale to Providers.

 

For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2017 were $166,635, compared with revenues of $24,710 for the three months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in revenues during the three months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of the Company’s successful development and commercialization of its first manufactured RAAM product during February 2017 which followed the new strategy implemented during November 2016 to distribute its own developed products to better differentiate against competitor products and provide distributors with the necessary financial incentives to sell our products. All of revenues during the three months ended July 31, 2016 were from patient referral and sales of products supplied by third parties.

 

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Our cost of revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2017 were $37,920, compared with cost of revenues of $26,453 for the three months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in cost of revenues during the three months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of the Company’s sales of its newly developed RAAM product which did not occur until the quarter ended July 31, 2017 and represented a significantly higher amount of lower cost of units sold. In addition, the cost of revenues during the three months ended July 31, 2016 included sales of third party products which provided minimal margins as a result of the Company’s inability to obtain favorable discounted pricing from manufacturers.

 

Gross Profit

 

Our gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2017 was $128,715, compared with gross loss of $(1,743) for the three months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in gross profit during the three months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of the Company’s successful development and commercialization of its first manufactured RAAM product during February 2017. This strategy resulted in a larger volume of units sold for the three months ended July 31, 2017 compared with the three months ended July 31, 2016. In addition, the costs of the products manufactured were less than the costs to purchase products previously supplied by third parties.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2017 were $1,030,136, compared with $161,377 for the three months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of payroll related costs (approximately $478,000), stock-based compensation costs from the vesting of issued warrants to executives in connection with employment agreements and other equity grants (approximately $226,095), professional fees totaling (approximately $132,000) and costs associated with the operations of the new laboratory facility which began operating in November 2016 in connection with the Company’s efforts beginning November 2016, to implement its strategy of developing and producing its own line of RAAM products. The general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2016 were related to payroll and professional fees.

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense for the three months ended July 31, 2017 was $29,748, compared with $10,954 for the three months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in the other expense was the result of the net costs associated with the issuance of the convertible secured promissory note in connection with the SPA on March 29, 2017.

 

For the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 were $307,225, compared with revenues of $153,006 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in revenues during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of the Company’s successful development and commercialization of its first manufactured RAAM product during February 2017 which followed the new strategy implemented during November 2016 to distribute its own developed products to better differentiate against competitor products and provide distributors with the necessary financial incentives to sell our products. All of revenues during the nine months ended July 31, 2016 were from patient referral and sales of products supplied by third parties.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 were $89,715, compared with cost of revenues of $49,384 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in cost of revenues during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of the Company’s sales of its newly developed RAAM product which did not occur until the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and represented significantly higher amount of lower costing units. In addition, the cost of revenues during the nine months ended July 31, 2016 were mostly from patient referrals that have significantly higher margins and in some instances do not involve any cost of revenues associated with products sold.

 

 

Gross Profit

 

Our gross profit for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $217,510, compared with gross profit of $103,622 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in gross profit during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of newly developed sales revenues from the Company’s successful development and commercialization of its RAAM product beginning in February 2017, which replaced the Company’s previous source of revenues from high margin patient referral revenues that was the principal source of the Company’s revenues during the nine months ended July 31, 2016. The sale of its own products follows the Company’s earlier stated planned strategy to distribute its own developed products to better differentiate against competitor products and provide distributors with the necessary financial incentives to sell our products.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 were $7,961,567, compared with $721,761 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was the result of payroll related costs (approximately $1,407,000), stock-based compensation costs from the vesting of issued warrants to executives in connection with employment agreements executed and other grants (approximately $5,730,000), professional fees (approximately $362,000) and costs associated with the operations of the new laboratory facility which began operating in November 2016 in connection with the Company’s efforts beginning November 2016, to implement its strategy of developing and producing its own line of RAAM products. The general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2016 were related to payroll and professional fees.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $380,022, compared with $10,954 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in the other expense was the result of the net costs associated with the issuance of the convertible secured promissory note in connection with the SPA on March 29, 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During fiscal year 2017 and through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2017, the Company has relied on the sale of equity securities, the issuance of debt or restructuring of debt obligations to meet the shortfall in cash to fund its operations.

 

	●	During January 2017, the Company sold 100,000 shares of common stock to an “accredited investor” at $0.05 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000. The proceeds were used for working capital.

The Company issued a total of 1,800,000 shares, Class A warrants to purchase 900,000 common shares and Class B warrants to purchase 900,000, common shares for total proceeds of $90,000. The Class A Warrant and Class B Warrant have exercise prices of $0.075 and $0.015, respectively, and have a three-year term.
	●	During February 2017, the Company sold 250,000 shares of common stock to a related party at $0.04 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000. The proceeds were used for working capital.
	●	On March 8, 2017, in consideration for consulting services rendered to the Company and Mint Organics, Inc., the Board approved the issuance of 100,000 shares of unregistered Common Stock valued at $0.02 per share, the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on the date hereof, to a consultant.

 

 

	●	On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a SPA, dated March 29, 2017, with an unaffiliated “accredited investor” (“Agent”), Dr. Bruce Werber, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Werber”), and Ian T. Bothwell, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and member of the Board of Directors (“Bothwell”) (each, including its successors and assigns, a “Purchaser “ and collectively, the “Purchasers”). The transactions contemplated by the SPA were consummated on April 3, 2017 (“Closing”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchasers shall be entitled to purchase a 10% Original Issue Discount Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee in the principal amount of up to $1,666,667, corresponding to a subscription amount of up to $1,500,000 (“Note”). The purchase of the Note is to occur in several tranches (each a “Tranche”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. In connection with the terms of the SPA, the Purchasers agreed to subscribe to the initial Tranche through the second Tranche for an amount in the aggregate of up to $600,000 (subject to adjustment as described the SPA) corresponding to an aggregate of up to $666,667 in principal amount of the Note. The initial Tranche of $475,000 (which correlates to a principal amount of $527,778 of the Note) was consummated on the Closing of the SPA, of which an aggregate of $300,000 (which correlates to a principal amount of $333,333 of the Note) was funded through the rollover of unreimbursed advances and expenses made to the Company by Werber and Bothwell prior to the closing date of the SPA and the remaining $175,000 was funded at Closing by the Agent.
	●	On June 22, 2017, Mint Organics entered into an unsecured loan agreement (“$60,000 Note Payable”) with a third party pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $60,000. The $60,000 Note Payable accrues interest at an annual rate of 10% and all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding principal are due on the one year anniversary of the $60,000 Note Payable. The $60,000 Note Payable may be prepaid without penalty.

 

The Company issued the foregoing securities pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, available under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that they were isolated sales to a limited number of people and did not involve a public offering of securities.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has had limited revenues since its inception. The Company incurred a net loss of $8,124,079 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,153,368 at July 31, 2017. The Company had a negative working capital position of $2,707,416 at July 31, 2017. The Company’s efforts to establish a stabilized source of sufficient revenues to cover operating costs has yet to be achieved and ultimately may prove to be unsuccessful unless additional sources of working capital through operations or debt and/or equity financings are realized.

 

Management anticipates that the Company will remain dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund ongoing operating expenses. All of the Company’s assets are currently pledged in connection with the SPA and as a result does not have any assets to pledge for the purpose of borrowing additional capital. The Company’s current market capitalization and common stock liquidity will hinder its ability to raise equity proceeds. The Company anticipates that future sources of funding, if any, will therefore be costly and dilutive, if available at all.

 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet assumes that (1) the Company will be able to establish a stabilized source of revenues, (2) obligations to the Company’s creditors are not accelerated, (3) the Company’s operating expenses remain at current levels and/or the Company is successful in restructuring and/or deferring ongoing obligations, (4) the Company obtains additional working capital to meet its contractual commitments and maintain the current level of Company operations through debt or equity sources.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete its revenue growth strategy or otherwise obtain sufficient working capital to cover ongoing cash requirements. Without sufficient cash reserves, the Company’s ability to pursue growth objectives will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, despite significant efforts since July 2015, the Company has thus far been unsuccessful in achieving a stabilized source of revenues. If revenues do not increase and stabilize or if additional funds cannot otherwise be raised, the Company might be required to seek other alternatives which could include the sale of assets, closure of operations and/or protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Disclosures are required if there is substantial doubt as to the company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of financial statements. The standard provides guidance for making the assessment, including consideration of management’s plans which may alleviate doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard for the year ending October 31, 2016, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued by the FASB that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this update had no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require us to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated appropriately and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Pursuant to Agreement, Taddeo and Rohrbaugh each invested $150,000 in the Company and the Company immediately established Mint Organics, Inc., a subsidiary of and controlled by the Company, and Mint Organics Florida, Inc., a subsidiary of and controlled by Mint Organics Inc., each dedicated to pursue the objectives of the Agreement. In connection with the Agreement, $150,000 of the proceeds received from the Investors was obligated to be used to fund the operations of Mint Organics, Inc. and/or Mint Organics Florida, Inc. and the remainder was to be used for working capital of the Company. In connection with the Agreement, Mint Organics issued to each of Taddeo and Rohrbaugh (i) 150 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant exercisable for up to 150,000 shares of BPSR’s common stock for $0.15 per share exercisable from the date of issuance until the third anniversary of the date of issuance.

The proceeds of the Offering are to be used for general working capital purposes. On April 6, 2017, Mint Organics received proceeds of $100,000 in connection with the sale of 21.25 units to an investor in connection with the Offering.

 

 

	●	On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a SPA, with an unaffiliated “accredited investor” (“Agent”), Dr. Bruce Werber, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Werber”), and Ian T. Bothwell, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and member of the Board of Directors (“Bothwell”) (each, including its successors and assigns, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”). The transactions contemplated by the SPA were consummated on April 3, 2017 (“Closing”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchasers shall be entitled to purchase a 10% Original Issue Discount Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee in the principal amount of up to $1,666,667, corresponding to a subscription amount of up to $1,500,000 (“Note”). The purchase of the Note is to occur in several tranches (each a “Tranche”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. In connection with the terms of the SPA, the Purchasers agreed to subscribe to the initial Tranche through the second Tranche for an amount in the aggregate of up to $600,000 (subject to adjustment as described the SPA) corresponding to an aggregate of up to $666,667 in principal amount of the Note. The initial Tranche of $475,000 (which correlates to a principal amount of $527,778 of the Note) was consummated on the Closing of the SPA, of which an aggregate of $300,000 (which correlates to a principal amount of $333,333 of the Note) was funded through the rollover of unreimbursed advances and expenses made to the Company by Werber and Bothwell prior to the closing date of the SPA and the remaining $175,000 was funded at Closing by the Agent. The second Tranche will be for $125,000 ($138,889 in principal amount of the Note) and will be funded to the Company by the Agent on July 15, 2017, subject to certain conditions contained in the SPA.
	●	On March 29, 2017, in connection with the terms of the SPA, the Company issued the Agent, Dr. Werber and Mr. Bothwell a total of 2,000,000, 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company, respectively.

 

None of the above issuances involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering and we believe were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that there was no solicitation or advertising and the did not involve a public offering of securities.
