ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Our Corporate History and Background

 

We were incorporated as iSoft International, Inc. on March 9, 2011, in the State of Nevada. Effective March 14, 2013, under the laws of Nevada, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “iSoft International, Inc.” to “The Pulse Network, Inc.” From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of The Pulse Network, the principal business of the Company was the development and operation of online games for social networking websites. Prior to March 29, 2013 we had never had any revenues and had a limited operating history.

 

Organization & Subsidiaries

 

We have one operating subsidiary, The Pulse Network, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation.

 

Overview of The Pulse Network

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, The Pulse Network was incorporated on December 24, 2008, in Massachusetts. The business of The Pulse Network was originally developed at Exgenex, Inc., a New York corporation (“Exgenex”), formed in April 2002. Exgenex changed its name to “CrossTech Group, Inc.” (“CrossTech New York”) in February 2008. On December 24, 2008, The Pulse Network was formed in Massachusetts under the name of “CrossTech Group, Inc.”, merged (as the surviving corporation) with CrossTech New York on December 31, 2009, and changed its name to “The Pulse Network Inc.” on June 2, 2011.

 

The business of The Pulse Network is now the principal business of the Company. The Pulse Network provides a cloud-based platform focused on content marketing and event solutions. The Pulse Network helps clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies, to small and mid-size companies, boost awareness, drive lead generation, and enhance client engagement through content marketing, campaign management and event registration with a social and digital backbone. With over 20 years of experience delivering online and offline marketing programs, state of the art video production studio, and a highly skilled team, The Pulse Network has become the partner of choice for numerous B2B and B2C brands.

Table of Contents

 

The Pulse Network was established in June 1994 and currently operates from offices located at 10 Oceana Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062. The Pulse Network’s website is www.tpni.com.

 

On January 31, 2014, The Pulse Network launched a cloud-based comprehensive content marketing platform which empowers corporate marketers and event groups in their campaign efforts. The platform solution addresses the challenges consumers face when seeking information and content surrounding a company well as the corporate content marketing problems that businesses face in trying to ensure that their content is seen by the right audience.

 

The new platform incorporates flat design, an enhanced layout, new icons and more typography, all of which can be translated to any language, significantly benefiting The Pulse Network’s international clients. In addition to the new design, the platform is highly organized for both event marketers and content marketers and combines the registration technology with asset creation, curation, distribution, and management to be used by all types of businesses and consumers. By bringing all the modules together under one platform, The Pulse Network is releasing a completely unique and powerful tool that will be used for hundreds of global programs on six continents. The fully integrated platform is comprised of three chief features: Event Management, Online Broadcast, and Content Marketing Tools.

 

ICTG Platform

 

On October 6, 2014, The Pulse Network acquired You Everywhere Now, LLC, VoiceFollowUp, LLC and Traffic Geyser, LLC (collectively, “ICTG”) which are collectively a marketing technology services business. ICTG is complete marketing and follow up automation software. Customers of ICTG set up a lead database and direct an “Instant Customer” on what to do. The instant customer will then automatically follow up with email, SMS/text, direct to voicemail, video, postcards and letters, and even simulated live webinars. Instant Customer does all the follow up automatically, offers a dashboard to monitor how well business is doing, what areas need focus, what areas are strong, and which methods are working most effectively to cut down unneeded marketing costs and increase profit margins.

 

Event Management

 

The Pulse Network's event management solution is a global, end-to-end tool for event groups all over the world. This solution allows event groups to store all data related to each individual tradeshow or conference they organize. The platform allows event groups to manage and house their lead database, communicate with customers, and perform registration services both online and onsite. Event groups can seamlessly execute events using the platform from the beginning stages through post-conference campaigns by leveraging the tools of the platform, bringing events to life year-round. This solution helps event groups increase verification rates, increase attendance, and improve attendee satisfaction.

 

Created by the team that developed the Exgenex (a company formerly operated by Nicholas Saber, Stephen Saber, and John Saber) registration system, The Pulse Network’s event management solution was built from the ground up. The single platform approach allows a client to run their entire suite of events, both domestic and international, produced in English or foreign languages in the same master database.

 

In addition, The Pulse Network’s capabilities include full event management support – including show production, a comprehensive speaker management system, with the ability to manage complete speaker processing through the system, from call for papers, to ranking proposals and managing sessions, and Continuing Education Unit (CEU) session tracking and reporting, with full scheduling / tracking of CEU credits, online access for attendees, and email updates.

 

For lead management, The Pulse Network offers HostMyLeads.com, along with extensive event marketing and mobile capabilities, including lead retrieval, session surveys, product locator, exhibitor layout, and reporting. Since 1994, The Pulse Network team has been providing event technologies, registration and lead generation services to businesses, event organizers and associations of all sizes. Today these solutions include web services and lead management programs to help clients engage with their community across all channels – online, mobile or face to face.

 

The Pulse Network’s Event Database Solutions include a comprehensive multi-channel SaaS platform for marketing support, registration, housing, management reporting, lead retrieval, online production, event websites, and CEU tracking, along with services for marketing and event management used at events worldwide ranging in size from 50 to 200,000 participants.

Content Marketing Tools

 

The content marketing tools which support the cloud-based platform include a content curation tool, syndication and distribution tools, social sharing, newsletter creation, analytics and reporting, and prospect management among many others. These tools benefit corporate marketers by simplifying processes for sharing content related to products and service, communicating with consumers and implementing lead nurturing campaigns.

 

The Pulse Network’s content curation tool is a one-click option that allows anyone across the web to tag an article for use in a content marketing effort. With the loading of a simple plug-in on any browser, customers can allow anyone connected to the organization to click, categorize, and tag an article for use on a digital publication, in a newsletter, or for social sharing and engagement.

 

The Pulse Network’s newsletter creation tool creates a newsletter with 5 simple clicks. No longer does a marketer need to wait for a developer or HTML programmer to program an email newsletter for distribution. Simply choose the content from the content library (content that was curated or loaded into the platform) and in an instant a newsletter has been created and is ready for distribution.

 

Early Customer Engagement Platform

 

On June 9, 2014, the Pulse Network announced the release of its Cloud-Based Integrated Platform for Early Customer Engagement. The Pulse Network’s platform helps clients create a digital publication, original video centric content, curate content, and build a powerful content marketing program. No longer do clients have to outsource content marketing, The Pulse Network’s platform can now do it for them. They can create entire newsletters with just a few clicks, pulling content elements from multiple sources, delivering fresh content each week. With TPNI's new tool, delivering content has never been easier.

 

The Pulse Network’s platform now consists of four modules: Content Marketing, Digital Publication, Webcast Production, and Event Management. These allow clients to engage their current and prospective customers with relevant content and consistent touch points through seamless experiences.

 

The Pulse Network’s Content Marketing Platform provides newsletters for outreach and engagement, a one touch curation tool for curation by multiple authors with the click of a button, and easy and personalized engagements through email, SMS, and social channels.

 

The Pulse Network’s Digital Publication Platform Creator develops digital publications for clients helping generate new prospects with content and programs, increases brand awareness through thought leadership, and nurture prospects into leads through consistent quality engagement.

 

The Pulse Network’s Video Webcast Production Platform engages the audience with live video production, increasing participation with live polls and chats, while tailoring the event with real-time analytics.

 

The Pulse Network’s Event Management Platform creates interactive customer experiences through registration and online engagement, increases registration counts through engagement and social sharing, and increases verification counts through connecting with the audience.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and consolidated financial condition for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our” or “The Pulse Network” are to the consolidated business of The Pulse Network. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Form 10-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. It based assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

Results of operations for 2017 compared to 2016.

 

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

 

During 2017 and 2016 the Company generated revenues from 2 primary business segments, being:

 

 

· Revenues earned from usage of the ICTG Platform for software marketing tools.

 

 

 

 

· Revenues earned from usage of the Pulse Network Platform for management and support of client events or conferences.

 

Total revenues for 2017 decreased by 39.1% to $2,337,222 from $3,834,949 in 2016. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in customers using the ICTG Platform for software marketing tools.

 

Cost of revenues for 2017 decreased by 43.0% to $422,574 from $741,598 in 2016. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in customers using the ICTG Platform for software marketing tools, client services payroll and outside contractors.

 

Selling and Marketing

 

Selling and Marketing expenses for 2017 decreased by 69.5% to $25,306 this was down from $82,902 for 2016. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses is attributable to a reduction in sales employees.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for 2017 decreased by 25.9% to $2,815,654 down from the amount $3,801,940 for 2016. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to a decrease in costs related to financing the acquisition of You Everywhere Now, LLC., computer expenses, client fees, and customer service payroll.

Net Loss Attributable to the Company

 

The net loss to the Company for 2017 was $1,398.988 compared to $2,098,266 for 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to the impairment loss recognized in 2016.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $10,099,456 and has negative working capital of $6,918,994. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s total current assets were $189,036 and total current liabilities were $7,108,030 resulting in a working capital deficit of $6,918,994. On March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,099,456.

 

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 the Company’s accrued payroll balance increased $806,166 as a result of officers deferring receipt of their contractual compensation to help provide cash for operations. In addition, the Company received net advances from stockholders of $224,964 to pay down payables, and $20,000 in proceeds from debt purchase agreement.

 

Cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2017 were $62,658 an increase of $18,836 from March 31, 2016.

 

Operating activities provided cash of $111,963 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 compared to providing cash of $238,149 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

 

There was no investing activity in the fiscal year end March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Financing activities used cash of $93,127 during the year ended March 31, 2017, compared to using cash of $221,851 during the year ended March 31, 2016. Financing activities during fiscal 2017 include proceeds from debt purchase agreement of $20,000, and net of advances from stockholders of $224,964, less payments of $331,651 to revolving loan and $6,440 to capital leases.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that would be expected to be reasonably likely to have a future material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, changes in consolidated financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Outlook

 

The Company believes that its future success will depend upon its ability to enhance and grow its business. The Company’s current anticipated levels of revenues and cash flow are subject to many uncertainties and cannot be assured. In order to have sufficient cash to meet anticipated requirements for the next twelve months, the Company requires additional financing. The inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to obtain required additional funds could require the Company to curtail its operations. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain the financing necessary to support its operations, it may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, the Company may be forced to cease operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

The Pulse Network, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Pulse Network, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also include assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in its stockholders’ deficit, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations, negative working capital, and a stockholders’ deficit. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE PULSE NETWORK, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

The Pulse Network, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded in 2002 as Exgenex, Inc., a New York Corporation. In 2008, the Company incorporated in Massachusetts under the name CrossTech Group, Inc. In 2011 the Company changed its name to The Pulse Network, Inc. The Company provides a cloud-based platform focused on content marketing and event solutions.

The Pulse Network, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, also the beneficial owner of The Pulse Network Management, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company. The Pulse Network Management, LLC reports all employee and payroll related expenses for The Pulse Network, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $10,099,456 and has negative working capital of $6,918,994. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Reclassifications - Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net income.

 

Cash - The Company maintains its cash balances in one financial institution. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Bank deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable represent balances due from customers. Credit risk associated with these balances is evaluated by management relative to financial condition and past payment experience. Balances that remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Table of Contents

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. The impairment of long-lived assets requires judgments and estimates. If circumstances change, such estimates could also change.

 

Concentrations of Sales to Certain Customers – During 2017 the Company had sales to two customers A and B that accounted for approximately 25% of the total revenue during 2017. Accounts receivable from two customers A and C accounted for approximately 81% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2017.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue consists principally of event platform revenue derived from management of customer events and recognized at the conclusion of the event and content marketing platform and other revenue are derived from providing ongoing solutions related to customer website content and are recognized as services are provided over the life of the contract.

 

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received for future events in advance of revenue recognition. The Company recognizes these billings and payments as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Income Taxes – An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”). If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties during the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and does not anticipate having any unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. The Company is subject to audit by the IRS for tax periods commencing January 1, 2011.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2017, and 2016, the Company’s only derivative financial instrument was an embedded conversion feature associated with convertible notes payable due to certain provisions that allow for a change in the conversion price based on a percentage of the Company’s stock price at the date of conversion.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

 

· Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

· Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

 

 

 

· Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 
18
 
Table of Contents

 

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

 

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

 

At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company identified the following liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value:

(seller). You Everywhere Now, in turn, holds 100% of the membership interests of VoiceFollowUp, LLC, a California limited liability company, and Traffic Geyser, LLC, a California limited liability company. Closing of the transaction under the Securities Purchase Agreement was conditioned upon closing and funding under the senior secured revolving credit facility agreement with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP as described in note 9.

 

The Company paid consideration to the seller comprised of a promissory note payable to the seller in the amount of $1,170,000 and cash of $1,047,560 financed through debt proceeds. The Company assumed liabilities of the seller totaling $244,450. The Company allocated the purchase price to intangible assets with a fair value of $1,738,750 and accounts receivable of $29,127. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquires totaling $694,133 was recorded as goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet for year ended March 31, 2015. The Company estimated the useful lives of the various identifiable intangible assets acquired to be between two and fifteen years.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015 the Company determined that circumstances indicated that the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the You Everywhere Now acquisition was impaired. The Company determined based on its analysis of fair value of these assets at December 31, 2015 that goodwill should be written off in its entirety and the customer lists should be written down to their estimated fair value of $762,467 and amortized over their estimated remaining useful life of two years. The total amount of the impairment loss recognized of $1,231,396 consists of goodwill in the amount of $694,133, and intangible assets in the amount of $537,263.

10. REVOLVING LOAN

 

On October 6, 2014, the Company borrowed $2,400,000 from TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (the “Lender”) pursuant to the terms of a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, dated September 30, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) as joint and several guarantors, and the Lender. The funds have been and will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of certain obligations of the Company. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow an amount equal to the lesser of 80% of the amount in a certain Lock Box Account (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the revolving loan commitment, which initially is $1,400,000. The Company may request that the revolving loan commitment be raised by various specified amounts at specified times, up to a maximum of $5,000,000. In each case, the decision to grant any such increase in the revolving loan commitment is at the Lender’s sole discretion. The loan matures on the earlier of March 30, 2015, subject to a six-month extension at the request of the Company, or upon 60 days written notice by the Lender. The Company may prepay the Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), without penalty, provided it is repaid more than 180 days prior to maturity date. If Company prepays more than eighty percent (80%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment within 9 days following the effective date, there is a prepayment penalty equal to 2.5% of the Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

The loan bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum, and the Company will pay certain fees, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company paid an additional advisory fee of $450,000 to Lender as of December 31, 2014.

 

On October 30, 2014, the Company issued to the Lender 4,500,000 shares of redeemable common stock in payment of the advisory fee as stated in the credit agreement. The lender could require the Company to redeem these shares for an amount up to $450,000 one year from the effective date of the agreement. On December 16, 2014, the Company and the lender entered into the first amendment to the credit agreement under which the available borrowing amount was increased and the original advisory fee in the amount of $450,000 was added to the outstanding loan amount with the lender and the shares issued on October 30, 2014 were deemed to be in settlement of a new advisory fee in the amount of $225,000. Under the terms of the amendment these shares are redeemable at the option of the lender for an amount up to $225,000 as defined in the agreement. As the redemption option is outside the control of the Company the redemption value of these shares has been recorded in temporary equity on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2014. In addition to the advisory fee described above the Company incurred fees totaling $896,350 in order to obtain this debt financing. These fees are included in general and administrative expense as of March 31, 2015.

 

On September 14, 2015, TCA sold the 4,500,000 redeemable common shares to a third party for net proceeds of $19,840. As a result of the sale of the redeemable common shares by TCA the Company is obligated to issue additional redeemable common shares to TCA which have a fair value of $205,160 or to settle this obligation in cash. As the redemption option is outside the control of the Company the redemption value of these shares has been recorded in temporary equity on the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

In addition to the advisory fee described above the Company incurred fees totaling $896,350 in order to obtain this debt financing. These fees were included in general and administrative expense as of March 31, 2015.

 

On April 1, 2015, the Company and the lender entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement under which additional financing fees totaling $325,000 were added to the balance of the revolving loan and the maturity date was extended to November 1, 2016. The additional financing fee is included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Two items noted in the prior year remain material weaknesses, (i) the Company does not have a functioning audit committee and does not have any independent directors on its board of directors resulting in ineffectual oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2015.

 

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

As of March 31, 2017, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s President, who is also our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer, and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

· Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

 

 

 

· Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

 

 

 

· Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.
  

In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, completed by Stephen Saber, our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and also our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer, Mr. Saber concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.

 

This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were:

 

(i) the Company does not have a functioning audit committee and does not have any independent directors on its board of directors resulting in ineffectual oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (iii) the Company has ineffective controls over its period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of director’s results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

John Saber

Chief Information Officer and Director

 

John Saber has served as our Chief Information Officer and a Director, since March 29, 2013. Mr. Saber has served and Chief Information Officer, Vice President of Research and Design, and Director of The Pulse Network since its formation in June 2011.

Mr. Saber received his Bachelors of Science in MIS and Quantitative Methods, and an MBA with an MIS concentration from Babson College. Mr. Saber’s knowledge of and career at the Pulse Network led to our conclusion that he should serve as a director in light of our business and structure.

 

TERM OF OFFICE

 

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

 

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of three members, none of whom qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

 

CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.

 

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

 

Other than our officers and directors, we currently have no other significant employees.

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

 

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended March 31, 2017, our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table lists, as of March 31, 2017, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

 

The percentages below are calculated based on 720,554,746 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2017. We do not have any outstanding warrant, options or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

On March 29, 2013, the Company, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 29, 2013 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, The Pulse Network, and the holders of common stock of The Pulse Network. The holders of the common stock of The Pulse Network consisted of Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber.

 

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company sold 75,000,000 shares of common stock, 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 15,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in The Pulse Network. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock of the Company and requires the consent of the majority of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to change the composition of the board of directors or President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, change the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or engage in merger, sale of assets, share exchange or other reorganization of the Company. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 5 shares of common stock and equal to 100 votes of common stock of the Company. The effect of the issuance is that The Pulse Network shareholders now hold approximately 26% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Stephen Saber, the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, is the holder of 31,005,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 414 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 414 shares of common stock) of the Company and 6,201,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 31,005,000 shares of common stock). Stephen Saber, therefore, controls 62,010,414 shares, or 10.8%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

 

Nicholas Saber, the Company’s new President, Secretary, Treasurer, as well as being a new Director, is the holder of 21,997,500 shares of common stock of the Company, 293 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 293 shares of common stock) of the Company and 4,399,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 21,997,500 shares of common stock). Nicholas Saber, therefore, controls 43,995,293 shares, or 7.6%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

 

John Saber, the Company’s new Chief Information Officer, as well as being a new Director, is the holder of 21,997,500 shares of common stock of the Company, 293 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 293 shares of common stock) of the Company and 4,399,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (convertible into 21,997,500 shares of common stock). John Saber, therefore, controls 43,995,293 shares, or 7.6%, of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis.

 

Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber are brothers.

 

As a result of the share exchange with Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber, The Pulse Network is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Articles of Exchange were filed with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective March 29, 2013.

 

In connection with the Company’s March 29, 2013 share exchange with The Pulse network, the Company entered into five-year employment agreements with its three new officers and directors: Stephen Saber, Nicholas Saber and John Saber, all of whom were the sole stockholders of The Pulse Network immediately prior to the share exchange.
