ENIGMA-BULWARK, LTD.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, AND DECEMBER 31, 2019


NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., (the “Company” or “Enigma”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2019. Notes to the consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted.

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formerly PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., the Company’s name was changed to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., on October 9, 2019, pursuant to a majority of the Company’s shareholders and unanimous resolution of the board of directors.

 

Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd. (“Enigma” or “Company”) is a security and risk management company that provides physical security, technology-systems integration, and risk management advisory services.  Services offered to assess and mitigate risk include security guards, risk management analysis, and proprietary and third-party technology and software. Target markets include corporations, governments and individuals across the globe.

 

In 2019, the Company was presented with an opportunity to start a security and risk management business headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, and identified key management to operate the business unit.  On August 30, 2019, the Company formed Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (“EBRM”), to maintain the Company’s security and risk management operations and assets.  

 

In addition, EBRM acquired 100% of the shares of Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed by the Company in May 2019 (“EBS”). The Company attracted key senior management talent with backgrounds in structured finance, insurance, management, and M&A.  On August 8, 2019, EBS received its license to provide physical security officers from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and commenced its security protection operations in southern Florida, providing security services to the hospitality industry, as well as large events and VIPs/celebrities. EBS services include security guards, both armed and unarmed, as well as CCTV and video capture technology and security consulting services.

 

On September 8, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Prime African Security, Ltd., a South African corporation (“Prime”), to provide security and risk management services in South Africa. The joint venture formed Prime Enigma Africa (Pty) Ltd., a South African corporation (the “Joint Venture”), for which Prime owns 51% of the common stock and the Company owns 49%.  The JV Agreement is for an initial term of three (3) years, and automatically renews unless canceled in writing by either party.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was structured with four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd. (“PTSG”), Ecologic Products, Inc.{“EPI”), and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. (“ECR”), all Nevada corporations.  The Company’s current business activities are diversified into two specific markets: security and risk management, and remote/mobile asset tracking products.

 

The Company intends to provide a unique solution to security issues in the intermodal shipping container marketplace, with its patented container tracking and locking system, EnigmaLok (formerly PearLoxx), the rights of which were licensed to the Company in perpetuity in 2015.

 

Through the subsidiaries, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc., the Company continues its pursuits for strategic opportunities for its shareholders, as management believes that the brands have value for companies with environmentally-friendly consumer-related products and services.

 

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in a current period net loss of $1,301,220, an accumulated deficit of $20,442,144, and a working capital deficit of $4,556,739 as of September 30, 2020, and further losses are anticipated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. 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 as a going concern.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Principles of Consolidation

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

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimates related to asset impairments of long-lived assets and investments, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors 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. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

 

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology 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 to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument. 

 

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk. 

 

The Company’s investment in securities are classified as Level 1 assets, and were valued using the quoted prices in the active market (Note 3).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, the carrying values of Company’s Level 1 financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, investments in securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of Level 3 instruments is calculated as the net present value of expected cash flows based on externally provided or obtained inputs. Certain Level 3 instruments may also be based on sales prices of similar assets. The Company’s fair value calculations take into consideration the credit risk of both the Company and its counterparties as of the date of valuation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The accounts receivable balance primarily includes amounts from customers of the Company’s security services.  Charges to bad debt are based on both historical write-offs and specifically identified receivables. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, no allowance for doubtful accounts was established.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, AND DECEMBER 31, 2019


 

Investments in Securities

Investments in securities are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee.  Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee's board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate.  All other equity investments, which consist of investments for which the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the mark to market method.  Under the mark to market method of accounting, investments are marked to market, with unrealized gains and losses being excluded from earnings and reflected as a component of other comprehensive income.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of the Company’s property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset.  Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 5 to 7 years.

 

Intangible Assets

Product processes, patents and customer lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives between 4 to 20 years.  Application development stage costs for significant internally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life, between 2 to 5 years.  Costs to extend and maintain patents and trademarks are charged directly to expense as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable.  When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

 

Due to the Company’s recurring losses and lack of revenue from its intellectual properties, its intellectual properties were evaluated for impairment, and it was determined that expected future cash flows were sufficient for recoverability of the assets at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

 

Convertible Debt

The Company recognizes the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the date of the debt. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debt, and is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s revenue is generated from customer contracts for its security services operations.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not generated revenues from the commercialization of its intellectual properties.

 

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that the Company will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not yet filed its 2013 through 2019 annual corporate income tax returns, which were filed in April 2022.  Due to the Company’s recurring losses, no corporate income taxes are due for these periods.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. 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. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:

 

Adopted:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).  ASU 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. ASU 2017-11 also addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification®. ASU 2017-11 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 addresses certain issues in implementing ASU 2016-02, Leases, which was issued to increase transparency ad comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transaction.  ASU 2018-11 clarifies 1) comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption; and 2) for lessors only, separating lease and non-lease components in a contract and allocating the consideration in the contract to the separate components. The amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.  ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).  ASU 2018-15 was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license.  ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.  The amendments to Topic 326 and other Topics in ASU 2019-04 clarify or address stakeholders’ specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in Update 2016-13. The amendments to Topic 815 in ASU 2019-04 include items related to Update 2017- 12 and clarify certain aspects of Topic 815. The amendments to Topic 321 and other Topics in ASU 2019-04 relate to the amendments in Update 2016-01 and clarify certain aspects of the amendments in Update 2016-01.

Not Yet Adopted:

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). ASU 2019-12 was issued to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.  ASU 2020-01 clarifies certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 addresses issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity with a focus on amending the guidance on convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods.  Early adoption is permitted. but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s or the Company’s industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$), and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “our company” and “Enigma” refer to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Corporate History

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formerly PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., the Company’s name was changed to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., on October 9, 2019, pursuant to a majority of the Company’s shareholders and unanimous resolution of the board of directors.

 

Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd. (“Enigma” or “Company”) is a security and risk management company that provides physical security, technology-systems integration, and risk management advisory services.  Services offered to assess and mitigate risk include security guards, risk management analysis, and proprietary and third-party technology and software. Target markets include corporations, governments and individuals across the globe.

 

In 2019, the Company was presented with an opportunity to start a security and risk management business headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, and identified key management to operate the business unit.  On August 30, 2019, the Company formed Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (“EBRM”), to maintain the Company’s security and risk management operations and assets.

 

In addition, EBRM acquired 100% of the shares of Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed by the Company in May 2019 (“EBS”). The Company attracted key senior management talent with backgrounds in structured finance, insurance, management, and M&A.  On August 8, 2019, EBS received its license to provide physical security officers from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and commenced its security protection operations in southern Florida, providing security services to the hospitality industry, as well as large events and VIPs/celebrities.

 

As part of the development of the South African business unit, the Company, through EBRM, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) on September 8, 2020, with Prime African Security, Ltd., a South African corporation (“Prime”), to provide security and risk management services in South Africa. The joint venture formed Prime Enigma Africa (Pty) Ltd., a South African corporation (the “Joint Venture”), for which Prime owns 51% of the common stock and the Company owns 49%.  The JV Agreement is for an initial term of three (3) years, and automatically renews unless canceled in writing by either party.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, an outbreak of the COVID-19 virus was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, former President Donald J. Trump declared the virus a national emergency in the United States.  As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, the WHO reports over 757 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 6.8 million deaths worldwide, including over 1.1 million in the U.S. This highly contagious disease has spread to most of the countries in the world and throughout the United States, creating a serious impact on customers, workforces and suppliers, disrupting economies and financial markets, and potentially leading to a world-wide economic downturn. It has caused a disruption of the normal operations of many businesses, including the temporary closure or scale-back of business operations and/or the imposition of either quarantine or remote work or meeting requirements for employees, either by government order or on a voluntary basis.

 


17



The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s clients’ operations, its employees and its employee productivity. It may also impact the ability of the Company’s subcontractors, partners, and suppliers to operate and fulfill their contractual obligations, and result in an increase in costs, delays or disruptions in performance. These effects, and the direct effect of the virus and the disruption on the Company’s employees and operations, may negatively impact both the Company’s ability to meet customer demand and its revenue and profit margins. The Company’s employees, in many cases, are working remotely and using various technologies to perform their functions. The Company might experience delays or changes in customer demand, particularly if customer funding priorities change. Further, in reaction to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, many businesses have instituted social distancing policies, including the closure of offices and worksites and deferring planned business activity. Additionally, the disruption and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets may increase the cost of capital and limit the Company’s ability to access capital. Both the health and economic aspects of the COVID-19 virus are highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. For these reasons and other reasons that may come to light if the coronavirus pandemic and associated protective or preventative measures expand, the Company may experience a material adverse effect on its business operations, revenues and financial condition; however, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change.

 

Current Business

 

The Company is currently structured with four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EBRM”), and PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd. (“PTSG”), Ecologic Products, Inc.{“EPI”), and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. (“ECR”), all Nevada corporations.  The Company’s current business activities are diversified into two specific markets: security and risk management, and remote/mobile asset tracking products.

EBRM is focused on providing security guards, both armed and unarmed, as well as security consulting and systems integration of security technology and software through the development of its patent-pending intellectual property, along with third-party Plug-N-Play products.

 

In August 2019, the Company, through EBRM’s subsidiary, Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc. (“EBS”), a Delaware corporation, established and operates a full-service security business targeting hospitality, corporate/executives, and petroleum assets. In Miami, Florida. EBS services include security guards, both armed and unarmed, as well as CCTV and video capture technology and security consulting services. As of October 2022, EBS maintains a staff of approximately forty-five (45) employees, including over forty (40) fully licensed security personnel, serving eleven (11) luxury and boutique hotels, restaurants and resorts in the greater Miami Beach, Florida, area.

 

In August 2020, EBRM formed a joint venture with Prime African Security, Ltd. Pty, a Pretoria, South Africa based full-service security company, accredited under the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001 (PSIRA), called Prime-Enigma Africa  Ltd. Pty (“Prime-Enigma”) headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa. Prime-Enigma is currently bidding on security tenders from large international corporations operating in South Africa.

 

The Company also intends to provide a unique solution to security issues in the intermodal shipping container marketplace, with its patented container tracking and locking system, EnigmaLok (formerly PearLoxx), the rights of which were licensed to the Company in perpetuity in 2015.

 

Through the subsidiaries, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc., the Company continues its pursuits for strategic opportunities for its shareholders, as management believes that the brands have value for companies with environmentally-friendly consumer-related products and services.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company used $82,937 in cash flows from financing activities, compared to $86,887 provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The increase in cash used by financing activities is primarily attributable to a decrease in proceeds from related party notes payable of $50,000, an increase in repayments of related party convertible notes payable of $82,937, and a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $36,887.

 

As of September 30, 2020, affiliates and related parties are due a total of $4,503,207, which is comprised of promissory notes to related parties, net of unamortized discounts, in the amount of $4,102,969; accrued compensation in the amount of $255,360; and reimbursable expenses/cash advances to the Company in the amount of $144,878; for a net increase of $240,233.

Contractual Obligations

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in a current period net loss of $1,301,220, an accumulated deficit of $20,442,144, and a working capital deficit of $4,556,739, and further losses are anticipated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Company’s assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.


22



Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of its consolidated financial statements.  The following should be read in conjunction with Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”:

 

Impairment reviews

Management is required to perform tests annually, or more often if necessary, for impairment of its finite lived and indefinite lived assets, to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment testing is an area involving management judgement, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate rate. In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management’s expectations of:

 

·growth in EBITDA, calculated as adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortization; 

·long term growth rates; and 

·the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved. 

 

The Company prepares five-year projections and uses these as the basis for its impairment reviews. Changing the assumptions selected by management, in particular the discount rate and growth rate assumptions used in the projections, could significantly affect the Company’s impairment evaluation and, hence, results.

 

The Company’s review for impairment also includes the evaluation of key assumptions related to sensitivity in the projections.  Included are estimates for varying levels of growth, including aggressive, median, and conservative.  In the Company’s evaluation, the conservative level of growth is utilized. For additional information, see Impairment of Long-Lived Assets under Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the end of the Company’s period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
