SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

 

The financial statements reflect a 1 per 1,000 reverse stock split of all outstanding common and preferred stock, which was effective immediately prior to the completion of the December 2015 Securities Purchase Agreement (see Note 8).  All share and per share data reported and disclosed in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include the fair value of derivatives and other stockholders' equity based transactions.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain items in the 2015 financials have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.  The fair value of convertible notes payable approximate their face value.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

 Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 Level 2

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and less observable from objective sources.

 

The Company’s derivative liabilities (see Note 9) are valued at each reporting period using level 3 inputs.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  Federal legislation provides for FDIC insurance of up to $250,000.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records an allowance for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable.  The allowance is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of packaging, raw materials and finished goods held for distribution.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and the current expected market conditions.  Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of selling expense.  Shipping and handling costs were $0 and $3,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Debt Issue Cost

 

Debt issue costs related to costs incurred in connection with the issuance of convertible notes, and are being amortized on the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over the term of the respective notes payable. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $35,750 and $9,375 amounted to $69,750 and $96,125, respectively. Debt issuance costs are now shown on the accompanying balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the secured convertible notes payable (see Note 8).

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company’s derivative liabilities are related to the ratchet reset provisions of the Company’s warrants and convertible debt.  Such ratchet reset provisions prohibit the Company from concluding that the warrants are indexed to their own stock, and thus derivative accounting is appropriate.  For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in operations for each reporting period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model to value the derivative instruments of its’ outstanding stock warrants at inception and subsequent valuation dates and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, and a binomial valuation model in connection with its’ convertible debt.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized, net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, slotting fees and estimated returns, upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant, as subsequently adjusted for certain contingently issuable shares.  Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the known or equivalent market value of common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of common stock.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes under  ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of an assets and liabilities approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more likely than not.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.

 

As of March 31, 2016, management has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s income tax returns since 2012 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising was $853 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability. Also in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, to clarify that the Securities and Exchange Commission staff would not object to deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance is required to be retrospectively applied to all prior periods. The Company adopted these ASUs in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, the Company now presents $69,750 and $96,125 of debt issuance costs as a reduction of secured convertible notes payable.

 

All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
