Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

a) Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on June 15, 2018.

 

b) Functional and Reporting Currency

 

These interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar. For purposes of preparing these interim financial statements, balances denominated in Canadian Dollars outstanding at September 30, 2018 were converted into United States Dollars at a rate of 1.29 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Balances denominated in Canadian Dollars outstanding at December 31, 2017 were converted into United States Dollars at a rate of 1.26 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars for the period ended September 30, 2018 were converted into United States Dollars at an average rate of 1.29 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars for the period ended September 30, 2017 were converted into United States Dollars at an average rate of 1.31 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar.

 

c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

d) Going Concern

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,281,783 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $9,873,043. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available the Company may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting polices used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The Company also implemented the following accounting standard effective January 1, 2018.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

 

In May 2014, ASC 606 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 did not have an impact on the way we recognized revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

3. Inventory

 

Inventory consists of the following at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

 

   2018   2017 
Finished goods   73,680   $44,635 
Raw materials   278    - 
   $73,958   $44,635 
Prepaid inventory  $84,800   $19,684 

 

4. Secured Notes Payable

 

Secured notes payable consists of the following at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

 

   2018   2017 
         
Balance owing, December 31,  $272,418   $275,844 
Less amounts due within one year   (272,418)   (275,844)
Long-term portion  $-   $- 

 

5. Derivative Liability

 

During the period ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes payable, which contain features that entitles the holder to convert any outstanding amounts payable under the convertible promissory note into a share of the common stock of the Company, the number of which is dependent on several factors. As such, ASC 815 determines the convertible promissory note to be a hybrid financial instrument that includes an embedded derivative that requires separation from the main financial instrument and recognition at fair value.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2017, certain convertible promissory notes to which the derivative liabilities relate, were converted to shares of the Company’s common stock. During the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized an aggregate loss on the value of the derivative liability of $484,720 related to the changes in value from January 1, 2017 to the dates upon which the convertible promissory notes were converted.

 

6. Common Stock

 

During the period ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 5,944,449 common shares under the share payable agreements mentioned in Note 7.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 18,750,000 common shares related to consulting agreements with two individuals.

7. Share Payable/ Claim Extinguishment Agreement

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor relations company to provide various services to the Company. These services were valued at $150,000 and will be charged to expense as certain milestones are met. The agreement is to be settled through the issuance of 7,500,000 common shares. From April through September, the investor relations company had met milestones that corresponded to $63,600 of expense being recorded. None of the shares had been issued through September 30, 2018.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered into a share issuance/ claim extinguishment agreement with two parties, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 50,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the assumption of aggregate accounts payable of the Company totaling $154,057. The fair value of the shares to be issued was estimated to be $650,000 resulting in a loss on the settlement of debt in the amount of $495,943 recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the period ended September 30, 2018, 5,944,449 shares were issued under this agreement which reduced the stock subscription payable by $77,278. The third parties failed to pay the Company’s vendors as agreed so the Company notified them that they are in breach of contract.

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue generated from the entire line of Worksport products was $300,113, as compared to $190,062 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The year over year increase of approximately 58% was mainly attributable to strong sales during the first six months of 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, revenue generated from the entire line of Worksport products was $5,954, as compared to $20,315 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The year over year decrease of approximately 71% was mainly attributable to a transition from the Company’s former name, Truxmart, to Worksport. The company required additional time than estimated to secure its trademark rights for its new name, Worksport. This resulted in the company being unable to produce product or conduct new sales for most of the quarter. Subsequently, the company was able to secure its trademark for the Worksport name and logo and expects strong sales during Q4, onwards.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue generated by Canadian customers was $123,887 compared to $117,920 for the same period in 2017, an increase of 5%. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, revenue generated by Canadian customers was $769 compared to $2,832 for the same period in 2017, a decrease of 73%. The decrease is attributable to a small credit towards a Canadian account during the third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue generated in the United States was $176,226 compared to $72,142 for the same period in 2017. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, revenue generated in the United States was $5,185 compared to $17,483 for the same period in 2017. These represent a year-over-year increase of 144% and decrease of 70%, respectively, in US- source revenue.

 

Sales from online retailers of the Worksport products increased from $70,745 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $133,337 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of 151%. The online retailers accounted for over 48% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Distributor sales decreased from $118,337 in 2018, to $118,337 in the nine months ending 2017.

 

Sales from online retailers of the Worksport products decreased from $17,812 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $4,986 in the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of 118%. The online retailers accounted for 100% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 94% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Distributor sales decreased from $1,085 in 2017, to $0 in the three months ending September 30, 2018.

Currently, Worksport has one major distributor in Canada, one in the United States, along with its own contracted distribution and inventory facility in Pennsylvania. This does not include multiple independent online retailers.

 

Although Worksport currently supports a total of 16 dealers and distributors, Worksport believes the trend of increasing sales through online retailers will continue to outpace the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, reputable online retailer’s customers tend to provide larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

 

The Company required additional time than estimated to secure its trademark rights for its new name, Worksport. This resulted in the Company being unable to produce product or conduct new sales for most of the quarter. Subsequently, the Company was able to secure its trademark for the Worksport name and logo and expects strong sales during Q4, onwards.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales increased for the first nine months of 2018, as compared to the first nine months of 2017, by 113% from $150,869 to $320,982. This increase was mainly due to the increase in net sales. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 107% and 79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, cost of sales increased by 305% to $69,979 from $17,296 in the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was due to increased sales for the period. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was approximately 1,175% and 85% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in the percentage of cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 is due to the stabilization of the foreign exchange rates used to translate sales denominated in Canadian Dollars to Unites States Dollars. Freight costs were $30,963 and $19,856 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $0 and $5,876 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Worksport provides its distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts are also offered to certain higher volume customers.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin percentage for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was -2% and 21% respectively. Gross margin percentage for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was -811% and 15% respectively. The decrease in gross margin for the nine months is primarily related to the introduction of fluctuation in foreign exchange rates used to translate Canadian Dollar sales into United States Dollars for purposes of financial reporting. As substantially all of the sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were denominated in United States Dollars, foreign exchange translation was not a factor in contributing to fluctuations in gross margin.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $745,335 compared to $1,631,962 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $245,974 compared to $112,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Our general and administrative expense decreased by $1,308,454, from $1,441,788 to $133,334, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and increased by $18,123, from $20,946 to $39,069, during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease for the nine months was mainly due to 72,000,000 common shares (fair value of $1,360,000) issued to the Company’s CEO during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 without comparable losses in 2018. The increase between the three month periods is a result of an overall increase in travel and office expenses. Sales and marketing increased by $8,713 to $11,178 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2,465 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and by $1,915 from $948 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $2,863 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. These increases are due to an increase in the trade show activity. Professional fees which include accounting, legal and consulting fees, increased from $162,065 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $603,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and also increased from $91,450 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $207,981 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increases for the periods is the result of two consulting agreements entered into during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The Company also realized a gain on foreign exchange in the amount of $2,763 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $28,407 when compared to a loss on foreign exchange of $25,644 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This loss was the result of the Company converting Canadian cash generated by sales to Canadian customers into United States Dollars in order to purchase inventory and pay operating expenses denominated in United States Dollars. The company realized a gain on foreign exchange in the amount of $3,939 during the three months ended September 30, 2018, which represents an increase of $3,485 when compared to a gain on foreign exchange of $454 incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Income and Expenses

 

Late in the 2017 fiscal year and during fiscal 2018, the Company borrowed funds for working capital requirements in exchange for promissory notes, one of which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred interest of $7,798 and $34,925, respectively, related to these notes. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred interest of $6,632 and $19,305, respectively. The remaining balance of interest expense relates to regular bank charges and interest.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 was $302,095 and $1,281,783, respectively, compared to net losses of $118,022 and $3,174,822 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in the net losses were mainly due to 72,000,000 common shares (fair value of $1,360,000) issued to the Company’s CEO during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the loss on derivative during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the loss on settlement of debt in the same period of 2017 without comparable losses in 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow Activities

 

Cash increased from $66,961 at December 31, 2017 to $158,892 at September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of the timing of inbound payments from customers, and outbound payments to vendors. Accounts receivable decreased by $170,487 from $189,502 at December 31, 2017 to $19,015 at September 30, 2018. Inventory increased by $29,323 from $44,635 at December 31, 2017 to $73,958 at September 30, 2018 largely as a result of the timing of the receipt of inventory shipments. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $704,887 from $230,770 at December 31, 2017 to $935,657 at September 30, 2018. The increase in payables is related to the timing of outbound payments to vendors based on the lack of cash as well as the non-cash increase in payables of $572,722 related to share subscription payables that will no longer be paid through the issuance of shares. The increase in payables is partially offset by the assumption of accounts payable in the amount of $172,056 pursuant to the share issuance/ claim extinguishment agreement.

 

The Company’s bank overdraft decreased from $2,365 at December 31, 2016 to $1,765 at September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily the result of the timing of inbound payments from customers, and outbound payments to vendors. Accounts receivable decreased by $72,763 from $81,146 at December 31, 2016 to $8,383 at September 30, 2017. Inventory decreased by $46,697 from $78,975at December 31, 2016 to $32,278 at September 30, 2017 as a result of the timing of the receipt of inventory shipments. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $225,385 from $340,270 at December 31, 2016 to $114,885 at September 30, 2017. The decrease in payables is related to the payment of various outstanding amounts as well as the assumption of accounts payable in the amount of $183,443 pursuant to the share issuance/ claim extinguishment agreement.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Worksport invested $14,875 in warehouse equipment. No investing activities occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in this quarterly report. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information in this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reason described below.

 

Because of our limited operations, we have limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

 

FNHI’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within FNHI have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of that our reports will be accurate. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concludes that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our future reports shall also indicate that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed for this reason and shall indicate the related conclusion by the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer as to their effectiveness.
