NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

 

NuGene International, Inc. (the “Company” or “NGI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 31, 2013. NuGene, Inc. (our wholly owned subsidiary) was incorporated in the state of California in December 2006. On January 20, 2015, we formed NuGene BioPharma, Inc. (“BioPharma”) as a wholly owned California incorporated subsidiary of NGI. On November 6, 2015, we formed The Aesthetic Group, Inc. (“TAG”) as a wholly owned California incorporated subsidiary of NGI. Both BioPharma and TAG had no significant independent operations during 2015.

  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of our Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations have been included. Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of NuGene International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

We have incurred net losses through the date of these financial statements and have yet to establish profitable operations. Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that our business is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with high short-term debt, limited commercial product revenues, including limitations on our operating capital resources and uncertain demand for our products. We have incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows in 2015 and through March 31, 2016, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. Members of our Company’s management have been required to advance our Company funding in order to partially meet our most critical cash requirements including payroll along with those associated with certain critical goods and services. In the process of managing these situations, our management may have made representations implying their personal guarantee of certain of our Company’s obligations, irrespective of whether such guarantees are legally valid and enforceable.

 

As a result of the aforementioned factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our 2015 consolidated financial statements, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty. In response to our Company’s cash needs, we raised funding as described in our footnotes that follow. Any additional amounts raised will be used for our future investing and operating cash flow needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional amounts of financing.
