DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, and supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training. Our business units are described below.

 

  Ø Digipath Labs, Inc. Digipath Labs’ mission is to provide pharmaceutical-grade analysis and testing to the cannabis industry, under ISO-17025:2017 guidelines, to ensure consumers and patients know exactly what is in the cannabis they ingest and to help maximize the quality of our clients’ products through research, development, and standardization. Digipath has been operating a cannabis-testing lab in Nevada since 2015 and has plans to open labs in other states and countries that have legalized the sale of cannabis, beginning with California.
     
  Ø GroSciences, Inc. Launched during the first fiscal quarter of 2019 to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from cannabis through the testing process. GroSciences plans to develop and license specific formulations to other producers and product makers in the industry, and to market and sell its “Tru-Hemp ID” Kit which distinguishes industrial hemp from drug-type cannabis.
     
  Ø VSSL Enterprises, Ltd. Acquired in March 2020, and based in British Colombia, Canada, VSSL is a cannabis genomics, plant sciences and consulting firm that builds predictive tools for the cannabis industry, and uses molecular and bioinformatics tools to deliver unique solutions suited to its customers’ business models.

DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company and subsidiaries will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “Digipath” or “DIGP”. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its customers are within the United States.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of lab testing services through our subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc.

 

Revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products for licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our products consist of handheld devices used to test cannabis for THC, CBD and CBG levels under our GroSciences, Inc. subsidiary. We have not yet commenced sales of this product.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting this ASU for the six-month period ending March 31, 2020 or the year ended September 30, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.

 

The new standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on October 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before October 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.

 

The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. The new standard did not have a material impact.

 

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $15,785,230, and as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Acquisition from Affiliate

 

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VSSL Enterprises Ltd (“VSSL”), Kyle Joseph Remenda (“Remenda”), Philippe Olivier Henry, PhD (“Henry”), Audim Ventures Ltd. (“Audim”), and Britt Ash Enterprises Ltd. (“Britt Ash” and, together with Remenda, Henry and Audim, the “VSSL Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of VSSL’s outstanding shares of capital stock from the VSSL Stockholders for consideration consisting of 6,500,000 shares of Digipath’s common stock and a cash payment of $200,000. The closing of the acquisition occurred on March 11, 2020. The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $373,750 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of closing.

DIGIPATH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Mr. Remenda, who held 45% of the VSSL’s shares prior to its acquisition by the Company, is the CEO of VSSL and was appointed as Digipath’s Chief Executive Officer in September 2019 in connection with the execution of the binding letter of intent with respect to the Company’s acquisition of VSSL. In addition, Mr. Henry, who also held 45% of VSSL’s shares prior to its acquisition by the Company, was engaged as a consultant by Digipath in September 2019.

 

This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase resulted in the recognition of $592,621 of goodwill reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. According to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

 

   March 11, 
   2020 
Consideration:     
Cash  $200,000 
Fair value of 6,500,000 shares of common stock   373,750 
Liabilities assumed   20,600 
Total consideration  $594,350 
      
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired assumed:     
Cash  $143 
Accounts receivable   1,585 
Total fair value of assets assumed   1,729 
Consideration paid in excess of fair value (Goodwill)(1)  $592,621 

 

(1)The consideration paid in excess of the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recognized as goodwill.

 

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 7 – Leases

 

The Company’s leases its operating and office facilities, and sub-leases one of the units, under non-cancelable real property lease agreements that expire on May 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company also has a financing lease for lab equipment subject to the recently adopted ASU 2016-02. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects to enter into a new lease upon expiration. The operating and office facility leases contain provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

On September 23, 2019, the Company received proceeds of $200,000 on a senior secured convertible note that carries an 8% interest rate, which matures on September 23, 2020. The principal and interest are convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a fixed conversion price of $0.11 per share. The Company’s obligations under this Note are secured by a lien on the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc.   200,000    200,000

In addition, the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible notes by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the convertible notes. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.

 

The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a total debt discount equal to $70,964 during the six months ended March 31, 2019. The discount is amortized on a straight-line basis from the dates of issuance until the earlier of the stated redemption date of the debts, as noted above or the actual settlement date. The Company recorded debt amortization expense on the aforementioned debt discount in the amount of $16,552 and $12,986 during the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

All of the convertible notes limit the maximum number of shares that can be owned by each note holder as a result of the conversions to common stock to 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

 

The Company recorded interest expense pursuant to the stated interest rates on the convertible notes in the amount of $34,796 and $15,770 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

   March 31, 
   2020   2019 
Interest income  $-   $1,250

Note 15 - Income Tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $13,400,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.

 

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

 

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued.

 

PPP Loan

 

On May 13, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc., borrowed $179,920 from WebBank Corp (“Lender”), pursuant to a Promissory Note issued by Digipath Labs to Lender (the “PPP Note”). The loan was made pursuant to the Payroll Protection Program established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Note bears interest at 1.00% per annum, payable monthly beginning December 13, 2020, and is due on May 13, 2022. The PPP Note may be repaid at any time without penalty.

 

Under the Payroll Protection Program, the Company will be eligible for loan forgiveness up to the full amount of the PPP Note and any accrued interest. The forgiveness amount will be equal to the amount that the Company spends during the 8-week period beginning May 13, 2020 on payroll costs, payment of rent on any leases in force prior to February 15, 2020 and payment on any utility for which service began before February 15, 2020. The maximum amount of loan forgiveness for non-payroll expenses is 25% of the amount of the PPP Note. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness under the PPP Note in whole or in part.

 

The PPP Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in a claim for the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Note.

 

Subscriptions Payable

 

On April 6, 2020 we issued 500,000 shares on subscriptions payable pursuant to an award dated, January 27, 2020, whereby the Company awarded 500,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for investor relations services to be performed from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020.

Overview

 

Digipath, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on October 5, 2010. Digipath, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Digipath,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data analytics and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, and supports the cannabis industry’s best practices for reliable testing, cannabis education and training. Our business units as of March 31, 2020 are described below.

 

  Ø Digipath Labs, Inc. Digipath Labs’ mission is to provide pharmaceutical-grade analysis and testing to the cannabis industry, under ISO-17025:2017 guidelines, to ensure consumers and patients know exactly what is in the cannabis they ingest and to help maximize the quality of our clients’ products through research, development, and standardization. Digipath has been operating a cannabis testing lab in Nevada since 2015 and has plans to open labs in other states and countries that have legalized the sale of cannabis, beginning with California.
     
  Ø GroSciences, Inc. Launched during the first fiscal quarter of 2019 to capitalize on the extensive data we have collected from cannabis through the testing process. GroSciences plans to develop and license specific formulations to other producers and product makers in the industry, and to market and sell its “Tru-Hemp ID” Kit which distinguishes industrial hemp from drug-type cannabis.
     
  Ø VSSL Enterprises, Ltd. Acquired in March 2020, and based in British Colombia, Canada, VSSL is a cannabis genomics, plant sciences and consulting firm that builds predictive tools for the cannabis industry, and uses molecular and bioinformatics tools to deliver unique solutions suited to its customers’ business models. The acquisition resulted in $592,621 of goodwill, which will be evaluated for impairment at year-end. The operations did not have significant impact on the results of operations for Digipath, Inc. for the periods presented.

 

While the Company’s financial performance was not negatively impacted by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s cannabis testing operations have significantly declined following the end of the most recent quarter. This is due to the decline in the Nevada cannabis markets resulting in turn from the substantial decline in Nevada tourism resulting from COVID-19. Management is unable to predict when testing operations will revert to historical levels.

The increase in revenue was due to industry growth and increased market share attained during the current period.

Cost of sales consists primarily of labor, depreciation, maintenance on lab equipment, and supplies consumed in our testing operations. The increased cost of sales in the current period was primarily due to increased labor related to turnover and competition for employees within the industry. Our gross margins of approximately 34% during the three months ended both March 31, 2020 and 2019, translated to $34,228 of increased gross profit in the current period. We intend to continue to automate processes through equipment enhancements to improve our margins, and implemented a new lab management system, and purchased a new triple quad machine on December 26, 2019 that we expect will help increase our testing capacity and decrease our variable costs.

Revenues

 

Aggregate revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2020 were $1,563,912, compared to revenues of $1,293,670 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $270,242, or 21%. The increase in revenue was due to industry growth and increased market share attained during the current period.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the six months ended March 31, 2020 were $902,510, compared to $910,150 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $7,640, or 1%. Cost of sales consists primarily of labor, depreciation, maintenance on lab equipment, and supplies consumed in our testing operations. Our gross margins of approximately 42%, increased during the six months ended March 31, 2020, compared to gross margins of approximately 30% during the six months ended March 31, 2019, due primarily to increased revenues of $270,242 and $76,40 of decreased cost of sales in the current period. We intend to continue to automate processes through equipment enhancements to improve our margins, and implemented a new lab management system, and purchased a new triple quad machine on December 26, 2019 that we expect will help increase our testing capacity and decrease our variable costs.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2020 were $795,351, compared to $808,976 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $13,625, or 2%. The expenses consisted primarily of marketing, rent, salaries and wages, and travel expenses. General and administrative expenses included non-cash, stock-based compensation of $38,084 and $42,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees for the six months ended March 31, 2020 were $511,067, compared to $482,247 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $28,820, or 6%. Professional fees included non-cash, stock-based compensation of $124,929 and $257,409 during the six months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Professional fees increased primarily due to increased legal fees associated with our acquisition of VSSL during the current period.

 

Bad Debts Expense

 

Bad debts expense for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was $161,120, compared to $49,830 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $111,290, or 223%. Bad debts expense increased during the current period as our allowance for doubtful accounts increased to $214,311 during the period due to the effects of COVID-19.

 

24

 

 

Operating Loss

 

Our operating loss for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was $806,136, compared to $957,533 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $151,397, or 16%. Our operating loss decreased primarily due to increased sales, as partially offset by increased bad debts expense during the six months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense, on a net basis, for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was $23,434, compared to other income, on a net basis, of $43,894 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, a net decrease of $67,328. Other expense consisted of $65,434 of interest expense, as partially offset by other income, consisting of $42,000 of subleased rental income for the six months ended March 31, 2020. Other income during the six months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of $41,400 of subleased rents, interest income of $1,250, and a $30,000 gain on settlement of a previously written off note receivable, as offset by $28,756 of interest expense.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was $829,570, compared to $913,639 during the six months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $84,069, or 9%. The decreased net loss was due primarily to increased sales, as partially offset by increased legal fees and bad debts expense as described above, in addition to increased interest on debt financing.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

   2020   2019 
Operating Activities  $(456,504)  $(690,634)
Investing Activities   (335,648)   (96,375)
Financing Activities   558,384    1,125,000 
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash  $(233,768)  $337,991 

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $456,504, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $690,634 for the same period ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our decreased net loss.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $335,648, compared to $96,375 for the same period ended March 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to investments made for cannabis testing equipment and the purchase of VSSL Enterprises, Ltd. in the current period.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $558,384, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,125,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2019. The current period consisted primarily of $550,000 of proceeds received on convertible note financing and proceeds of $56,500 from the sale of stock, as offset by $35,387 of principal payments on an equipment lease and $12,729 of principal payments on an equipment loan, compared to $500,000 of proceeds received on convertible debt financing and $625,000 received from the sale of stock in the comparative period.

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2020, our balance of cash on hand was $89,971. We currently may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations and expand our lab testing business. As we continue to develop our lab testing business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital needs.

 

25

 

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, and, as set forth above, the Company’s cash on hand is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new customers to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation. In addition, additional financing may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue was recognized when the following criteria had been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

 

Our revenue is primarily generated through our subsidiary, Digipath Labs, Inc., which recognizes revenue from the analytical testing of cannabis products for licensed producers and cultivators within the state of Nevada on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis. Revenue from the performance of those services is recognized upon completion of the tests, at which time test results are delivered to the customer, provided collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We typically require payment within thirty days of the delivery of results. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

We are not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

We have identified the following risk factor in addition to those included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. Additional risks not presently known to us or other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact our business and the global economy. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to obtain financing when required.

 

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19 or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, customers, and other commercial partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, following the end of our most recent quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s cannabis testing operations significantly declined due to the decline in the Nevada cannabis markets resulting in turn from the substantial decline in Nevada tourism resulting from COVID-19. COVID-19 has also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which could impair our ability to raise capital when needed.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

The following issuances of equity securities by the Company were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020:

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

On May 13, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Digipath Labs, Inc., borrowed $179,920 from WebBank Corp (“Lender”), pursuant to a Promissory Note issued by Digipath Labs to Lender (the “PPP Note”). The loan was made pursuant to the Payroll Protection Program established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Note bears interest at 1.00% per annum, payable monthly beginning December 13, 2020, and is due on May 13, 2022. The PPP Note may be repaid at any time without penalty.

 

Under the Payroll Protection Program, the Company will be eligible for loan forgiveness up to the full amount of the PPP Note and any accrued interest. The forgiveness amount will be equal to the amount that the Company spends during the 8-week period beginning May 13, 2020 on payroll costs, payment of rent on any leases in force prior to February 15, 2020 and payment on any utility for which service began before February 15, 2020. The maximum amount of loan forgiveness for non-payroll expenses is 25% of the amount of the PPP Note. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness under the PPP Note in whole or in part.

 

The PPP Note contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in a claim for the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Note.
