When used in this Report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “we expect,” “will continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “could,” “would,” “may,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, success in reaching target markets for products in a highly competitive market and the ability to attract future customers, the size and timing of additional significant orders and their fulfillment, the success of our business emphasis, the ability to finance and sustain operations, the ability to raise equity capital in the future, and the size and timing of additional significant orders and their fulfillment. We have no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. Unless otherwise defined herein, as used in this Report, “Ecosciences,” “Eco,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar terms refer to Ecosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Eco-Logical Concepts, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

General

 

Located in Jericho, New York, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eco-Logical Concepts Inc., sells its bioremediation products for the treatment of sewers, sludge ponds, septic tanks, lagoons, farms, car washes, portable sanitation facilities, grease tanks, lakes and ponds under the brands TRAP-EZE, SEPT-EZE, TANK-EZE and WASH-EZE to distributors who resell the Company’s products to end user customers.

 

The active ingredients in our tablets oxygenate wastewater, remove hydrogen sulfide odors, prevent corrosion in wastewater systems and initiate aerobic biological breakdown of organic sludge including fats, oils and grease. The tablets are non-toxic to the environment, non-caustic and comprised of natural ingredients that do not require any special permitting for use and disposal. The product is simple to use directly by the end consumer.

 

The Company has formulated a business model that management believes can help it grow and achieve economies of scale over time. We have undertaken the necessary due diligence and prepared a business that will enable us to compete in the market for bio-remediation services.

 

The Company is focused on building, acquiring and investing in businesses around ecological and life sciences. From waste water remediation to healthcare and more, Ecosciences is committed to building a better living environment for all people.

 

Product Development

 

We have developed a variety of products to serve various market segments:

 

Tank-Eze Wastewater Tablets. These are solid, sustained release tablets which provide active oxygen, nutrients, buffers and safe aerobic microorganisms to help clean, control odor and keep wastewater systems running efficiently with reduced downtime. These tablets can be used in pump and lift stations, septic tank systems and other waste-water treatment systems.
   
Trap-Eze Grease Trap Tablets. These are solid, sustained release tablets which provide active oxygen, nutrients, buffers and safe aerobic microorganisms to help clean, deodorize and keep grease traps running efficiently with reduced downtime. These tablets can be used by a wide variety of food service industry customers.
   
Wash-Eze Car Wash Tablets. These are solid, sustained release tablets that reduce noxious odors, spotting and other problems associated with the use of reclaimed (e.g., recycled) water. Environmentally safe, non-toxic, micro-fine components and aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, help clean and mitigate odors, while providing nutrients, buffers and active oxygen to increase efficiency and reduce maintenance.

Growth Strategy of the Company

 

Our mission is to maximize stockholder value through expanding the scope of products offered. We intend to conduct research and development to bring new, improved products to market to ensure we are competitive in our market space. We intend to focus on growing our distribution channels using master-distributor relationships, full-line distributors and other similar sales channels. We intend to build product and brand awareness through a direct retail channel using online marketing and info-commercials, which we believe will provide a feedback benefit for the growth of our other distribution channels as well as to establish opportunities for indirect retail sales channels, such as through chain stores and small retailers.

 

We have been working to set up regional distributors in several different market segments, such as septic systems, grease traps, ponds, agricultural and wastewater. Sales this fiscal year have primarily been to Mexico, and we are currently finalizing more orders locally in New Jersey. All sales were completed in US dollars and have not been subject to any foreign taxes.

 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, we commenced developing additional eco-based products in order to expand our product line. During the quarter ended November 30, 2015, we successfully test marketed a liquid version of our Tank-Eze bioremediation product (“Liquid Tank-Eze”). Liquid-Eze is different than the regular Tank-Eze in that it does not have the oxygen feature and is designed to be primarily used in the treatment of drain lines prior to, or in conjunction with, Tank-Eze. As part of its test marketing, we sold the Liquid Tank-Eze product in a four ounce (4 oz.) concentrated size through our online channels. We intend to increase our marketing of Liquid Tank-Eze with a wider and more official launch in the near future. We also intend to sell a line of eco-friendly certified green cleaning solutions, including but not limited to, a multi-surface cleaner and a glass cleaner.

 

The following items are significant agreements entered during the past years to expand our business:

 

  In July 2015, the Company entered into a Master Distribution Agreement (“MDA”) with Chem-tek Industries, Inc. (“Chem-tek”), a janitorial supply company based in Howell, New Jersey. The MDA gives Chem-tek the right to resell the Company’s products in the south New Jersey counties of Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Essex, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Salem and Somerset for one-year renewable terms.
     
  In August 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive International Master Distributor Agreement with Eco Logic Limited (“Eco Logic”), its current New Zealand and South African distributor of the Company’s range of products for use in the biological treatment of wastewater. In the New Zealand market, Eco Logic Limited resells the Company’s products under the Nova Tabs (www.novatabs.com) brand name. Past purchasers of the Nova Tabs in New Zealand have included McDonalds franchises as well as governmental body, the Tauranga City Council (www.tauranga.govt.nz). The International Master Distributor Agreement contractually formalizes the Company and Eco Logic’s business relationship and is intended to increase product distribution and sales in New Zealand and other territories where Eco Logic has or is seeking customers. The term of the Agreement is for five years with successive five year terms if not otherwise terminated and the territory includes Africa, Australasia, Germany and The Netherlands.
     
  In November 2015, the Company announced that it had started preliminary discussions with several potential international distributors to establish sales channels for the Company’s products and that it was developing sales programs to facilitate sales to government agencies for the treatment of waste water and grease build up issues. Those discussions with potential international distributors are still ongoing as of the date of this report.
     
  In February 2016, the Company commenced a focused marketing program targeting specific US-based industries, starting with janitorial supply companies and then restaurants and hotels. The Company had also previously launched a program to secure distributors by region. The Company’s marketing program will include, but not be limited to, trade shows, trade associations and trade magazines. In the future, the Company plans to expand the marketing program to include farming and hospitals and food processing plants.

  In March 2016, the Company entered into a Master Distribution Agreement (“MDA”) with Concepto Ecologicos Aplicados (“CONEAP”), a janitorial supply company based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The MDA gives CONEAP the right to resell the Company’s products for the region of the Dominican Republic for one-year renewable terms.
     
  In March 2016, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Everglades Supply Co, Inc., a maintenance, industrial and janitorial supply company based in Farmingdale, NY (“Everglades”). The Distribution Agreement gives Everglades the right to resell the Company’s products in the Northeastern Tri-State area (New York-New Jersey-Connecticut), South Florida and the Middle East for successive one-year automatically renewable terms.

 

Revenue Model

 

We are in the process of establishing a network of master distributors, full-line distributors and sales representatives to service a diverse group of end users. Our target markets include municipalities, retail consumers, commercial and industrial users, food processors, hospitals, supermarkets, restaurants and the janitorial supply industry as follows:

 

1. Municipalities:

 

  a. Sewage treatment plants
     
  b. Pump and Lift Stations
     
  c. Ponds and small lakes (golf courses typically have odor and algae issues in their water hazards)

 

2. Commercial Foods Industry: Facilities with grease traps including restaurants, supermarkets and other facilities with commercial kitchens.
   
3. Hospitals and Medical Facilities: Our products are used in the breakdown of organic material such as blood and tissue which typically clogs hospital drains and causes odor problems.
   
4. Industrial Food Processing Plants: Facilities with grease traps and septic tanks.
   
5. Retail: A significant percentage of homes and other facilities throughout the country operate with septic tanks. Our tablets are designed to treat the waste material that builds up in the tanks and prevent the buildup of methane and sulfuric acid from compacted solids which leads to the degradation and potential collapse of the septic system.

 

We intend to target sales for municipalities, the commercial foods industry, hospital and medical facilities and industrial food processing plants using a network of master distributorships, full-line distributors and other sales representatives who will work with us on a commission basis. We intend to reach the retail market through info-commercials to build awareness of our products and brand, internet marketing and eventual placement in chain retail locations and small retailers directly or through distributors with traditional retailer/wholesaler relationships.

 

Competitive Analysis

 

Our competition does not come from other tablets as we are unique in the market. However, within this category there are other alternatives. They include pumping, which is costly, intrusive and has a negative impact on the environment. There are powders and liquids that contain bacteria. Neither contains any oxygenating elements nor do they resolve issues with accumulated and compacted solid material. Our tablets embed themselves into the compacted mass and effervesce disturbing the material and infusing oxygen into the area so aerobic bacteria can go to work. Grease traps, lift stations, septic systems are all designed to allow for the flow of liquid through the systems. Therefore, powders and liquids will simply flow through the system and not establish bacteria colonies.

The Company’s primary competitors in the environmental bio-remediation services industry are Spartan Chemical, Zep, and Arrow Chemical. We consider the competition to be competent, experienced, and they have greater financial and marketing resources than we do at the present time. Our ability to compete may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the marketing of their services than are available to our Company. Some of the Company’s competitors also offer a wider scope of services and have greater name recognition. Our competitors include large firms that also have extensive existing customer bases and established distribution channels.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers

 

We purchase our raw materials as bulk dry bacterial enzymes from Bio-cat Microbials (“Bio-cat”). We purchase our raw material by using purchase orders and do not have any contractual relationship with Biocat. Biocat ships the bulk biomaterial to Mid-Continent Packaging Inc. (“MCP”) who presses and packages the tablets. Large orders of our finished product are then shipped directly from MCP to our major customers. Smaller orders are shipped to our office.

 

The loss of our current principal suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on our Company. Within our industry, there are a number of manufacturers and pressers, giving us flexibility and options.

 

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

 

The Company, through Eco-Logical Concepts, sells its products to distributors who then resell them to end user customers. The Company currently does business with up to five distributors in Mexico, the U.S. and New Zealand, one of which accounts for 40% of our revenues. The loss of this distributor or a group of distributors generating a majority of our revenues could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

The Company’s revenues were concentrated among three customers for the year ended May 31, 2017, and four customers for the year ended May 31, 2016:

 

Customer   For the Year Ended
May 31, 2017
   For the Year Ended
May 31, 2016
 
          
 1    47%   40%
 2    14%   20%
 3    10%   14%
 4    *%   11 

 

* not greater than 10%

 

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts

 

We do not currently own any patents or trademarks nor are we a party to any licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts.

 

Need for any Government Approval of Products or Services

 

There are no government regulations for our product or any powder or liquid enzyme products.

 

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Company

 

We will be subject to federal laws and regulations that relate directly or indirectly to our operations, including securities laws. We will also be subject to common business and tax rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of our business.

 

Research and Development Activities

 

We have not spent any money on research and development activities during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016.

Costs and Effect of Compliance with Environmental Laws

 

Since there are no government regulations for our product or any powder or liquid enzyme products. We believe there are no applicable costs or effects of compliance with environmental laws.

 

Employees

 

We have two full-time employees, Joel Falitz, our CEO and director, and Dan Cohen, our COO.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never paid or declared dividends on our securities. The payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our earnings, our capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. We intend, for the foreseeable future, to retain future earnings for use in our business.

 

Description of Properties

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 420 Jericho Turnpike, Suite 110, Jericho, NY, 11753. Our telephone number is (516) 465-3964. Our executive offices are currently provided to us for no charge by our President. In the future, as we expand, we expect to execute a lease agreement with our President or lease other office space. We also maintain a website located at www.ecosciences.company, the contents of which are not incorporated into this report.

 

Corporate History

 

We were formally known as On-Air Impact, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“On-Air Impact”). From the date of its inception on May 26, 2010 until the consummation of the reverse merger described below on May 9, 2014, On-Air Impact was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).

 

On May 9, 2014, On-Air Impact and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eco Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), consummated a reverse merger (the “Merger”) with Eco-Logical Concepts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Eco-Logical”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 9, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Eco-Logical with Eco-Logical being the surviving corporation and replacing Merger Sub as On-Air Impact’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Since the Merger, the business and operations of Eco-Logical have been business and operations of On-Air Impact.

 

At the closing of the Merger:

 

Every one hundred (100) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Eco-Logical issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of On-Air Impact, rounding up to the nearest whole number for resulting fractional shares; and
   
Each share of Series A Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Eco-Logical issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into one share of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock”), of On-Air Impact.

 

7
  

 

In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 9, 2014, Joel Falitz, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Eco-Logical, was appointed to serve as the Chairman of our Board of Directors for a one-year period until the next annual stockholders’ meeting or until his successor is elected and qualified and as the Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.

 

As a result of the Merger, On-Air Impact ceased to be a shell company. The information contained in our “Super Form 8-K” filed on May 15, 2014 constitutes the current “Form 10 information” necessary to satisfy the conditions contained in Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Merger was intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and has been treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial accounting purposes. Even though On-Air Impact was the legal acquirer, Eco-Logical is considered to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Company’s historical financial statements before the Merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of Eco-Logical before the Merger in this Report and all future filings with the SEC.

 

To better reflect our new operations as a result of the Merger, on June 23, 2014, the Company changed its name from “On-Air Impact” to “Ecosciences, Inc.” On June 23, 2014, we also increased our authorized capital stock from 100 million shares of Common Stock to 500 million shares; and from 10 million shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) to 50 million shares. We also effectuated a 500-for-1 forward stock split of our outstanding Common Stock on June 23, 2014 (the “Forward Stock Split”).

 

Also, on June 23, 2014, the former directors each resigned as a member of our Board of Directors. Their resignations were not due to any disagreement with the Company nor were they related to our operations, policies or practices.

 

On July 21, 2014, the ticker symbol of our Common Stock on the OTCQB was changed from “OAIR” to “ECEZ” to better reflect our new name.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. WE FACE A VARIETY OF RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL RESULTS AND MANY OF THOSE RISKS ARE DRIVEN BY FACTORS THAT WE CANNOT CONTROL OR PREDICT. BEFORE INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS, TOGETHER WITH THE FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WOULD LIKELY DECLINE AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT. ONLY THOSE INVESTORS WHO CAN BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD CONSIDER AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES.

 

This Report contains certain statements relating to future events or the future financial performance of our Company. Prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should specifically consider the various factors identified in this Report, including the matters set forth below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

 

If any of the following or other risks materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected which, in turn, could adversely impact the value of our securities. In such a case, investors in our securities could lose all or part of their investment.

 

Prospective investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable for them in light of the information contained in this Report and the financial resources available to them. The risks described below do not purport to be all the risks to which the Company could be exposed. This section is a summary of certain risks and is not set out in any particular order of priority. They are the risks that we presently believe are material to the operations of the Company. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or which we presently deem immaterial may also impair the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Associated with Our Business

 

We have limited cash on hand and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

At May 31, 2017, we had $3,357 in cash on hand and working capital deficit of $1,739,953 and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, we had $25,860 in revenues. In their reports for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, our auditors have expressed that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses since our formation and expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next several years and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.

 

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects.

 

Our operating subsidiary, Eco-Logical Concepts, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 30, 2011. Therefore, we have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business and prospects of the Company must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with a newly established business. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we will not be able to develop functional and scalable products and services, or that although functional and scalable, our products and services will not be economical to market; that our competitors hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing such products; that our competitors market a superior or equivalent product; that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our technologies and products to accommodate new features and expanded service offerings; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances for our products. To successfully introduce and market our products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that the Company can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, the Company and its business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Given the limited operating history, management has little basis on which to forecast future demand for our products from our existing customer base, much less new customers. The current and future expense levels of the Company are based largely on estimates of planned operations and future revenues rather than experience. It is difficult to accurately forecast future revenues because the business of the Company is new and its market has not been developed. If the forecasts for the Company prove incorrect, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company will be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, the Company may be unable to adjust its spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated reduction in revenue. As a result, any significant reduction in revenues would immediately and adversely affect the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company.

 

Our success is highly dependent on Joel Falitz, our President and CEO and Dan Cohen, our COO.

 

In the early stages of development, the Company’s business will be significantly dependent on the Company’s Management team. The Company’s success will be particularly dependent upon Joel Falitz, our CEO and director, and Dan Cohen, our COO, the loss of either or both would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Three of our customers accounted for 71% of our revenues in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

 

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, three customers accounted for 71% of our revenues, one of which generated 47% of our revenues. Our inability to achieve more customers and the loss of any one of those customers could adversely affect our revenues and could materially adversely affect our business.

We may not be able to compete successfully with current and future competitors.

 

We have many potential competitors in the bio-remediation services industry. We will compete, in our current and proposed businesses, with other companies, most of which have far greater marketing and financial resources and experience than we do. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to penetrate our intended market and be able to compete profitably, if at all. In addition to established competitors, there is ease of market entry for other companies that choose to compete with us. Effective competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or have other negative implications, any of which could adversely affect our business and chances for success. Competition is likely to increase significantly as new companies enter the market and current competitors expand their services. Many of these potential competitors are likely to enjoy substantial competitive advantages, including, but not limited to, larger staffs, greater name recognition, larger and established customer bases and substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources. To be competitive, we must respond promptly and effectively to industry dynamics, evolving standards and competitors’ innovations by continuing to enhance our services and sales and marketing channels. Any pricing pressures, reduced margins or loss of market share resulting from increased competition, or our failure to compete effectively, could fatally damage our business and chances for success.

 

If we do not continually update our services, they may become obsolete and we may not be able to compete with other companies.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to keep pace with advances or that our services will not become obsolete. We cannot assure you that competitors will not develop related or similar services and offer them before we do, or do so more successfully, or that they will not develop services and products more effective than any that we have or are developing. If that happens, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

 

We may be required to borrow funds in the future.

 

If the Company incurs indebtedness, a portion of its cash flow will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair the Company’s operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of members of the Company. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of the Company’s assets resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Failure to establish or enhance our brand recognition could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We believe we will need to expend significant time, effort and resources to enhance the recognition of our brands. We believe developing our brand will be important to our sales and marketing efforts. If we fail to establish or enhance the recognition of our brands, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our products and adversely affect our business and results of operations. If we fail to develop a positive public image and reputation, our business with our existing customers could decline and we may fail to develop additional business, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Defects in our products or failures in quality control could impair our ability to sell our products or could result in product liability claims, litigation and other significant events involving substantial costs.

 

Detection of any significant defects in our products or failure in our quality control procedures may result in, among other things, delay in time-to-market, loss of sales and market acceptance of our products, diversion of development resources, and injury to our reputation. The costs we may incur in correcting any product defects may be substantial. Additionally, errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers, which could result in litigation. Product liability litigation, even if we prevail, would be time consuming and costly to defend, and if we do not prevail, could result in the imposition of a damages award. We presently maintain product liability insurance; however, it may not be adequate to cover any claims.

We rely on indirect sales channels to market and sell our bioremediation product. A loss of or deterioration in our relationship with one or more of our resellers or distributors, or our inability to establish new indirect sales channels to drive growth of our products could negatively affect our operating results.

 

We sell the majority of our bioremediation products to resellers, who in turn sell our products to end users. In some cases, resellers integrate our products of other manufacturers and sell the combined products to their own customers. The success of these sales channels is hard to predict, particularly over time, and we have no purchase commitments or long-term orders from them that assure us of any baseline sales through these channels. Several of our resellers and distributors carry competing product lines that they may promote over our products, which may negatively impact our sales. A reseller or distributor might not continue to purchase our products or market them effectively, and each reseller or distributor determines the type and amount of our products that it will purchase from us and the pricing of the products that it sells to their customers. Establishing new indirect sales channels globally is an important part of our strategy to drive growth of our revenue.

 

Our operating results could be adversely affected by any number of factors including:

 

  A change in competitive strategy that adversely affects a reseller’s or distributor’s willingness or ability to distribute our products;
     
  Reaching fewer customers or losing sales due to ineffective efforts of resellers and distributors;
     
  Reduced margins and increased costs associated with channel sales;
     
  An inability to gain traction in developing new indirect sales channels for our branded products;
     
  Any financial difficulties of our resellers, authorized distributors or customers that result in their inability to pay amounts owed to us;
     
  Changes in requirements or programs that allow our products to be sold by third parties to government customers; or
     
  Changes in product requirements or certification programs that limit our ability for our products to be sold in our established current markets.

 

We may enter into exclusive agreements with our distributors who purchase our products on an individual purchase order basis. If we lose important distributors, or if they reduce their focus on our products or if we are unable to obtain additional distributors, our business could be negatively affected.

 

There can be no assurances of protection for proprietary rights or reliance on trade secrets.

 

In certain cases, the Company may rely on trade secrets to protect intellectual property, proprietary technology and processes, which the Company has acquired, developed or may develop in the future. There can be no assurances that secrecy obligations will be honored or that others will not independently develop similar or superior products or technology. The protection of intellectual property and/or proprietary technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons even where proprietary claims are unsubstantiated. The prosecution of proprietary claims or the defense of such claims is costly and uncertain given the uncertainty and rapid development of the principles of law pertaining to this area. The Company, in common with other firms, may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of intellectual property, technology information and data, which may be deemed proprietary to others.

 

Our ability to become profitable and continue as a going concern will be dependent on our ability to attract, employ and retain highly skilled individuals to serve our clients.

 

The nature of our business requires that we employ skilled persons to perform highly skilled and specialized tasks for our Company. Our failure to retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to offer services to clientele, and could potentially have a negative effect on our business. There is no guarantee that skilled persons will be available and willing to work for us in the future, nor is there any guarantee that we could afford to retain them if they are available at a future time.

 

11
  

 

Our projections and forward-looking information may prove to be incorrect.

 

Management has prepared projections regarding the Company’s anticipated financial performance. The Company’s projections are hypothetical and based upon a presumed financial performance of the Company, the addition of a sophisticated and well-funded marketing plan, and other factors influencing the business of the Company. The projections are based on Management’s best estimate of the probable results of operations of the Company, based on present circumstances, and have not been reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants. These projections are based on several assumptions, set forth therein, which Management believes are reasonable. Some assumptions upon which the projections are based, however, invariably will not materialize due to the inevitable occurrence of unanticipated events and circumstances beyond Management’s control. Therefore, actual results of operations will vary from the projections, and such variances may be material. Assumptions regarding future changes in sales and revenues are necessarily speculative in nature. In addition, projections do not and cannot take into account such factors as general economic conditions, unforeseen regulatory changes, the entry into the Company’s market of additional competitors, the terms and conditions of future capitalization, and other risks inherent to the Company’s business. While Management believes that the projections accurately reflect possible future results of the Company’s operations, those results cannot be guaranteed.

 

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

 

We must continually implement and improve our products and/or services, operations, operating procedures and quality controls on a timely basis, as well as expand, train, motivate and manage our work force in order to accommodate anticipated growth and compete effectively in our market segment. Successful implementation of our strategy also requires that we establish and manage a competent, dedicated work force and employ additional key employees in corporate management, product development, client service and sales. We can give no assurance that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our existing and future operations. If we fail to implement and improve these operations, there could be a material, adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

If we make any acquisitions or enter into a merger or similar transaction, our business may be negatively impacted.

 

We have no present plans for any specific acquisition. However, in the event that we make acquisitions in the future, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions, mergers and other similar transactions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 

the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
   
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our Management and the management of acquired companies;
   
the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;
   
difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;
   
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
   
the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
   
the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
   
the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired; and
   
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.

 

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions, many of which cannot be presently identified, these risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

12
  

 

There might be unanticipated obstacles to the execution of our business plan.

 

The Company’s business plans may change significantly. The Company’s potential business endeavors are capital intensive. Management believes that the Company’s chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of the Company’s principals and advisors. Management reserves the right to make significant modifications to the Company’s stated strategies depending on future events.

 

We may engage in transactions that present conflicts of interest.

 

The Company’s officers and directors may enter into agreements with the Company from time to time which may not be equivalent to similar transactions entered into with an independent third party. A conflict of interest arises whenever a person has an interest on both sides of a transaction. While we believe that it will take prudent steps to ensure that all transactions between the Company and any officer or director are fair, reasonable, and no more than the amount it would otherwise pay to a third party in an “arms’-length” transaction, there can be no assurance that any transaction will meet these requirements in every instance.

 

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors against lawsuits to the fullest extent of the law.

 

Ecosciences is a Nevada corporation. Nevada law permits the indemnification of officers and directors against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a claim. Nevada law also authorizes Nevada corporations to indemnify their officers and directors against expenses and liabilities incurred because of their being or having been an officer or director. Our organizational documents provide for this indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

We currently do not maintain any insurance coverage. In the event that we are found liable for damage or other losses, we would incur substantial and protracted losses in paying any such claims or judgments. Although we intend to acquire such coverage immediately upon resources becoming available, there is no guarantee that we can secure such coverage or that any insurance coverage would protect us from any damages or loss claims filed against it.

 

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

The shares of Common Stock issued to the former Eco-Logical stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement are “restricted securities” and, as such, may not be sold except in limited circumstances.

 

The shares of Common Stock of On-Air Impact, Inc. issued to the former stockholders of Eco-Logical in exchange for their shares of common stock of Eco-Logical pursuant to the Merger Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law. As a result, the shares will be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and they may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, except in a transaction which, to our satisfaction and that of our counsel, is exempt from such registration requirements. We are not currently required to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock to enable those shares to be freely tradable and even if we were, we cannot assure you that the SEC will declare the registration statement effective, or that once declared effective, that the SEC will not take action to suspend such effectiveness.

 

In addition, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits the resale of the shares of Common Stock, subject to various terms and conditions, is not available until one year has elapsed since we filed our Super Form 8-K on May 15, 2014 containing “Form 10 information” and only if we are current in meeting our SEC filing requirements. As a result, your ability to sell your shares may be limited.

 

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

 

There may be risks associated with us becoming public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any offerings on behalf of our post-merger company.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

 

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCPINK, we can have no assurances that a proper market will ever develop, and should a market develop we will have no control over the market price of our common stock. Any market price is likely to be highly volatile. Factors, including regulatory matters, concerns about our financial condition, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to current or future agreements or title to our claims or the success of our new business model may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock, causing the market price to decline. In addition, potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock by stockholders and by us could also have an adverse effect on the price of our securities. Such a decline would seriously hinder our ability to raise additional capital and prevent us from fully implementing our business plan and operations.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock, and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.

 

To date, there has been a very limited trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. We anticipate having our common stock continue to be quoted for trading on the OTC Market, however, we cannot be sure that such quotations will continue. We currently do not satisfy the initial listing standards of any national securities exchange and cannot ensure that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our common stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange in the future. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing and remain listed on the OTC Market or suspended from the OTC Market, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are traded in the OTC Market, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies and (3) to obtain needed capital.

 

As a former shell company, resales of shares of our restricted common stock in reliance on Rule 144 of the Securities Act are subject to the requirements of Rule 144(i).

 

Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which generally permits the resale, subject to various terms and conditions, of restricted securities after they have been held for six months will not immediately apply to our common stock because we were at one time designated as a “shell company” under SEC regulations. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the date on which the issuer filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it ceased being a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the issuer has satisfied certain reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The filing of our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 15, 2014 started the running of such one-year period. Because, as a former shell company, the reporting requirements of Rule 144(i) will apply regardless of holding period, restrictive legends on certificates for shares of our common stock cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale that is subject to an effective registration statement under, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act.

 

We may, in the future, issue additional shares of our common stock and/or preferred stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,950,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 23,200,000 shares have been designated of the date of this Annual Report. The Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board to prescribe the series and the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of any undesignated shares of our preferred stock. The future issuance of common stock and preferred stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock or preferred stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for financing, future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

 

14
  

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of their shares of our common stock, or shares of our common stock underlying any outstanding securities held by them, in the public market under Rule 144 or upon registration of such shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, or it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and we intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy will depend on the requirements of financing agreements to which we may be a party and applicable law. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions and applicable law.

 

There can be no assurances that an active trading market may develop for our Common Stock, or if developed, be maintained.

 

The average trading volume in our stock has been historically low, with little or no trading at all on some days. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our Common Stock. Accordingly, investors must assume they may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our Common Stock for an indefinite period of time. There can be no assurance that a more active market for the Common Stock will develop, or if one should develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained. This severely limits the liquidity of our Common Stock, and would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock and on our ability to raise additional capital.

 

Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.

 

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
   
the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

15
  

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
   
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth:

 

the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
   
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of common stock and cause a decline in the market value of stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

The price of our Common Stock may become volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.

 

The trading price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:

 

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;
   
announcements of developments by us or our competitors;
   
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
   
adoption of new accounting standards affecting our Company’s industry;
   
additions or departures of key personnel;
   
sales of our Common Stock or other securities in the open market; and
   
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

The stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against the company. Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.

 

We do not anticipate dividends to be paid on our Common Stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

Cash dividends have never been declared or paid on the Common Stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

16
  

 

If securities analysts do not initiate coverage or continue to cover our Common Stock or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, this may have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

The trading market for the Common Stock will depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about our business and the Company. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover the Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover the Common Stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is the subject of an unfavorable report, our stock price and trading volume would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover the Company or fails to publish regular reports on the Company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

The outstanding Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock has 80% voting control and is owned by an affiliate, thereby giving it significant ability to influence the election of our directors and the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders.

 

Generally, the outstanding shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Company as a single class and, regardless of the number of shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and as long as at least one of such shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall represent eighty percent (80%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or action by written consent of stockholders. Each outstanding share of the Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent its proportionate share of the 80% which is allocated to the outstanding shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock. Joel Falitz, the Company’s CEO and sole director owns 100% of the 200,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, Mr, Falitz has the ability to significantly influence the outcome of issues submitted to our stockholders. The interests of this stockholder may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and this stockholder may act in a manner that advances his best interests and not necessarily those of our other stockholders. As a consequence, it may be difficult for investors to remove our management. The ownership of this stockholder could also deter unsolicited takeovers, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

 

Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may adversely affect our Common Stock.

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition, proxy statement, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K. That report must contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

17
  

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our Common Stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which we refer to as FINRA, has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and have an adverse effect on the market for shares of our Common Stock.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

 

From March 8, 2012 to July 21, 2014, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol “OAIR.” On March 8, 2012, 2,000 shares traded. From that date until September 3, 2014, there was no trading in the Company’s Common Stock. In connection with the Merger on May 9, 2014 and subsequent name change of the Company from On-Air Impact, Inc. to Ecosciences, Inc. on June 23, 2014, the OTCQB ticker symbol for our Common Stock was changed “ECEZ” on July 21, 2014.

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the reported high and low closing quotations for our Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB for the past two fiscal years. The closing quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a suitably written statement.

 

Our Common Stock is a penny stock. The penny stock disclosure requirements could have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

 

Description of Securities

In connection with the Merger, on June 23, 2014, we increased our authorized capital stock from 100 million shares of Common Stock to 500 million shares; and from 10 million shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) to 50 million shares. We also effectuated a 500-for-1 forward stock split of our outstanding Common Stock on June 23, 2014 (the “Forward Stock Split”). We also effectuated a 1 for 10,000 reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Stock on May 19, 2017 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

Common Stock

 

As of May 31, 2017, there were 48,075,065 shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

 

Pursuant to our bylaws, our Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock representing at least a majority of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created by our board of directors from time to time, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available therefore.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created from time to time by our board of directors, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all assets of our company available for distribution to such holders.

 

In the event of any merger or consolidation of our company with or into another company in connection with which shares of our common stock are converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash), on a pro rata basis.

 

Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions or sinking fund rights applicable to our common stock. There are also no provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holders of our common stock as a result of such security holders owning a substantial amount of securities.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock in one or more designated series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, without stockholders’ approval, within any limitations prescribed by law and our Articles of Incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including but not limited to the following:

 

  (a) the rate of dividend, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative, and the date from which any dividends shall accrue;
     
  (b) whether shares may be redeemed, and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;
     
  (c) the amount payable upon shares of preferred stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation;
     
  (d) sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares of preferred stock;
     
  (e) the terms and conditions on which shares of preferred stock may be converted, if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion;

  (g) subject to the above, such other terms, qualifications, privileges, limitations, options, restrictions, and special or relative rights and preferences, if any, of shares or such series as our board of directors may, at the time so acting, lawfully fix and determine under the Nevada Revised Statutes.

The Company is focused on building, acquiring and investing in businesses around ecological and life sciences. From waste water remediation to healthcare and more, we are committed to building a better living environment for all people.

 

Growth Strategy of the Company

 

Our mission is to maximize stockholder value through expanding the scope of products offered. We intend to conduct research and development to bring new, improved products to market to ensure we are competitive in our market space. We intend to focus on growing our distribution channels using master-distributor relationships, full-line distributors and other similar sales channels. We intend to build product and brand awareness through a direct retail channel using online marketing and info-commercials, which we believe will provide a feedback benefit for the growth of our other distribution channels as well as to establish opportunities for indirect retail sales channels, such as through chain stores and small retailers.

 

We have been working to set up regional distributors in several different market segments, such as septic systems, grease traps, ponds, agricultural and wastewater. Sales have been growing rapidly overseas with business in Mexico, Costa Rica, New Zealand and South Africa.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, our commitments to strategic alliance partners and the timing of the achievement of collaboration milestones. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Besides the estimates identified above that are considered critical, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The following table summarizes the sources and uses of cash the years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

   2017   2016 
         
Cash, beginning of year  $4,220   $381

Net cash provided by financing activities   395,173    72,421 
Cash, end of year  $3,357   $4,220 

 

Working Capital

 

Since the Company’s inception, we have incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of May 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,563,361 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,739,953. We have incurred net losses of $1,623,311 and $495,110 for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

At May 31, 2017, we were indebted to our President and a company controlled by the President for approximately $83,098 for expenses paid by him on behalf of the Company. The amount was borrowed pursuant to a verbal agreement and is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

 

We do not believe our cash resources are sufficient to implement our current business plan, support operations and meet current obligations for the next 12 months. We plan to raise additional capital to finance our operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, we may be required to reduce our discretionary overhead costs substantially, including research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses or otherwise curtail operations.

 

At May 31, 2017, we had $3,357 in cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $2,563,361 and had $25,860 in revenues for the year ending May 31, 2017. In their report for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, our auditors have expressed that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses since our formation and expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next several years and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.

 

We do not believe our cash resources are sufficient to implement our current business plan, support operations and meet current obligations for the next 12 months. We expect that our working capital requirements will be funded over this period by a combination of revenue, shareholder debt or equity private placements of our securities, convertible debt notes and if necessary, shareholder loans. Our business plan does anticipate increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures over the next twelve months in relation to: (i) product development; (ii) research and development to enhance existing products and innovate new ones (iii) employee salaries & professional fees; and (iv) marketing expenses. The company expects to continue to realize cash flow from financing activities until such time as it can increase revenue to the point at which it can maintain operations and fund business growth.

 

We plan to raise additional capital to finance our operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, we may be required to reduce our discretionary overhead costs substantially, including research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses or otherwise curtail operations.

 

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of notes payable and convertible debt to our president and other non-affiliated third parties and the issuance and sale of equity securities for cash consideration. We have no agreements to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other traditional sources. Since we have no financing committed, our inability to realize financing to maintain operations and grow our business would materially restrict our business operations. Previous convertible debt financing the Company has accepted have not been on favorable terms and has been significantly dilutive to our existing common equity and as a result the Company executed a consolidation of its common stock on May 19, 2017 to attract financing and maintain is business. Future financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. Should we be successful in securing future financing new issuances of equity or convertible debt would dilute our current shareholders, possibly significantly and might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common or preferred stock. If financing is not available to us on favorable terms, such severe limitation might cause us to consider another consolidation of existing common equity at any time as a means to attract financing and maintain our business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Ecosciences, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ecosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. Ecosciences, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

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

  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring losses and a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ecosciences, Inc. as of May 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Ecosciences, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Ecosciences, Inc. has not generated significant revenue since inception and has not generated significant earnings that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Nature of Operations
     
  Ecosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 26, 2010. The Company’s principal business is focused on the development, production and sale of environmentally focused wastewater products. It currently produces organic tablets and powders to be used regularly and in lieu of harmful chemical cleaning products in grease trap and septic tank systems. The Company intends to generate revenue through the sale of tablets and powders to domestic and international customers in the food and sanitation industries as well as residential consumers.
     
2. Going Concern
     
  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenue since inception and has not generated significant earnings. As of May 31, 2017, the Company has accumulated losses of $2,563,361 and a working capital deficit of $1,739,953. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
     
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     
  a) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
     
    These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Eco-logical Concepts, Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Delaware. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.
     
  b) Use of Estimates
     
    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     
  c) Cash
     
    The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
     
  d) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     
    Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers and are ordinarily due upon receipt. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future. At May 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s accounts receivable are offset by a provision for doubtful accounts of $379 and $1,338, respectively.
     
  e) Inventories
     
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. 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. At May 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company does not need a reserve for any obsolescence due to the current nature of the inventory items. Inventory consisted of water purification tablets and ingredients required to manufacture water purification tablets.
     
  f) Shipping and Handling Costs
     
    The Company expenses shipping and handling costs as incurred and includes in general and administrative expenses. Such costs totaled approximately $972 and $15 for the years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
  g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     
    The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by US generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:
     
    Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
     
    Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
     
    Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
     
    Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, loans payable, convertible notes payable, and derivative liabilities. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
     
    Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
     
  h) Embedded Conversion Features
     
    The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income (loss). If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.
     
  i) Derivative Financial Instruments
     
    The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including convertible debentures, stock purchase warrants and stock options, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
     
    For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income (loss). For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
     
  j) Beneficial Conversion Feature
     
    For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a Beneficial Conversion Feature (the “BCF”) and related debt discount.
     
    When the Company records a BCF, the intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid-in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
     
  k) Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
     
    The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
  l) Revenue Recognition
     
    The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured which is typically when title transfers upon shipment.
     
  m) Stock-Based Compensation
     
    The measurement and recognition of compensation expense is based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
     
    The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in income (loss) over the requisite service period. Options granted to consultants are valued at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or the fair value of the services received, whichever is more reliably measureable.
     
  n) Income Taxes
     
    The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
     
  o) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
     
    Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year. The calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and other stock-based compensation, which are included in diluted earnings per share. When a company is in a loss situation, all outstanding dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings because their inclusion would be antidilutive; and the basic and fully diluted common shares outstanding are stated to be the same. At May 31, 2017, the Company had approximately 95,821,000 potential dilutive shares outstanding.
     
  p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     
    In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. In July 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance by one year. The guidance is now effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, as well as interim periods within those annual periods using either the full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
     
    In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

  p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
     
    In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to reduce complexity in the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. One of the simplifications relates to forfeitures of awards. Under current GAAP, an entity estimates the number of awards for which the requisite service period is expected to be rendered and base the accruals of compensation cost on the estimated number of awards that will vest. This ASU permits an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election either to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur or to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted. The Company has adopted the standard and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
     
    In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15), which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 205-40 to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt,” (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company has adopted the standard and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
