ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. (“Bio-Matrix”) was organized on October 6, 1998, in the State of Delaware, originally under the name Tasco International, Inc, which was subsequently changed to Tasco Holdings International, Inc., and then to Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. in 2006. On May 26, 2020, Bio-Matrix’s name was further changed to Rivulet Media, Inc.

 

2019 Reverse Acquisition Transaction

 

On July 31, 2019, Bio-Matrix acquired 100% of the share capital of Pine Hills, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, in exchange for the issuance of 4,080,000 common shares of Bio-Matrix, to Heather Cassady, the sole shareholder of Pine Hills, Inc. In conjunction with this transaction, all of the outstanding shares of Series AA and Series AAA Preferred Stock of Bio-Matrix were cancelled. Pine Hills was in the business of providing data storage and the archiving of corporate documents, and its operations subsequent to that date were nominal.

 

Upon completion of the transaction, Heather Cassady owned approximately 54% of the voting capital stock of Bio-Matrix immediately after the transaction. For financial accounting purposes, this transaction was considered a reverse acquisition of Bio-Matrix by Pine Hills, Inc. and was treated as a recapitalization with Pine Hills, Inc. as the accounting acquirer. Pine Hills was liquidated on August 13, 2020.

 

2020 Change in Control Transaction

 

On March 26, 2020, Debbie Rasmussen and Klusman Family Holdings (together, the “Buyers”) and David Koos and Heather Cassady (together, the “Sellers”) closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) whereby Buyers purchased from Sellers 4,364,235 shares of the outstanding common stock of Bio-Matrix. This transaction resulted in a change in control of Bio-Matrix, based on the transfer of approximately 55.8% of the outstanding common shares of Bio-Matrix from Sellers to Buyers. The amount of consideration for the purchase of such common shares was $215,000, with the source of the consideration being a loan from an unaffiliated third party.

 

As a condition of closing of the transaction, each director and officer of Bio-Matrix resigned from their position effective April 6, 2020, and Mike Witherill and Aaron Klusman were appointed as directors of Bio-Matrix to take office effective April 6, 2020. Additionally, effective April 6, 2020, Mr. Klusman was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Matrix and Mr. Witherill was appointed Vice-Chairman and President of Bio-Matrix. At the closing of the transaction, Mike Witherill and Aaron Klusman, directly and indirectly, effectively owned the equivalent of 77,896,200 shares of common stock of Bio-Matrix, representing approximately 89.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Bio-Matrix.

 

In conjunction with the change in control transaction, all current liabilities of Bio-Matrix, including accounts payable and notes payable to related and unrelated parties, plus accrued interest, aggregating $141,936, were paid by the Buyers through a contribution to capital to Bio-Matrix prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition transaction, which became effective on April 13, 2020.

 

2020 Reverse Acquisition Transaction

 

On April 13, 2020, Bio-Matrix acquired 100% of the equity capital of Rivulet Films, Inc. (“Rivulet Films”), which was organized on February 11, 2020, in the State of Arizona, in exchange for the issuance of 79,155,765 shares of common stock of Bio-Matrix distributed on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of Rivulet Films. Rivulet Films is a development stage company involved in the arts, entertainment, and recreation business.

The current control shareholders of Bio-Matrix (consisting of Mike Witherill, Debbie Rasmussen (the wife of Mike Witherill), and Klusman Family Holdings (controlled by Aaron Klusman), through a series of orchestrated and interdependent transactions over a period of approximately three months, obtained effective control of Bio-Matrix (both a majority of the equity and the board of directors) and caused Rivulet Films to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix. Accordingly, for financial accounting purposes, this transaction was considered a reverse acquisition of Bio-Matrix by Rivulet Films and was treated as a recapitalization with Rivulet Films as the accounting acquirer and Bio-Matrix as the accounting acquire. The financial statements presented herein consist of those of Rivulet Films for the period commencing February 11, 2020 (date of inception), with the financial statements of Bio-Matrix included for the period commencing April 13, 2020.

 

The stockholders’ equity section of Bio-Matrix has been retroactively restated to reflect the accounting effect of the reverse acquisition transaction. All share and per share amounts presented herein also reflect the retroactive restatement of the stockholders’ equity section of Bio-Matrix. All costs associated with the reverse acquisition transaction were charged to expense as incurred.

Business

 

The Company is engaged in the production, distribution and marketing of feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution, and ancillary sales. The Company also provides event-based audio and video design, production, and installation services. Upon completion of a production, the Company expects to receive initial revenues from domestic and foreign distribution contracts.

 

The Company’s business activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below at “Going Concern.” The Company does not currently have positive cash flows from operations and is dependent on periodic infusions of capital to fund its operating requirements.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and negative operating cash flows since inception. During the year ended July 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,851,108. The Company financed its working capital requirements during this period primarily through the sale of its equity securities and the issuance of short term notes. Accordingly, management has concluded that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

At July 31, 2021, the Company had limited cash resources available to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company’s business activities to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard.

As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2021, also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and successfully implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and 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 development and expansion of the Company’s business is dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that they will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company’s business operations to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining. There is also significant uncertainty as to the affect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount, and type of financing in the future.

 

If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company may be required to scale back its operations, liquidate its media assets to obtain funds, enter into strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to any assets, or discontinue its operations entirely.
