ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business Description

Wrap Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a developer of security products designed for use by law enforcement and security personnel. The Company’s first product is the BolaWrap 100 remote restraint device.

 

The Company resulted from the March 31, 2017 merger of Wrap Technologies, LLC (“Wrap LLC”) with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary MegaWest Energy Montana Corp. (“MegaWest”) (the “Merger”). Wrap LLC ceased separate existence, and MegaWest continued as the surviving entity. MegaWest then changed its name to Wrap Technologies, Inc. and an amended and restated certificate of incorporation changing the Company’s corporate name, authorizing 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and authorizing 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, was filed with the Delaware Department of Corporations. All 835.75 membership units of Wrap LLC outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were exchanged, on a pro rata basis, for an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company in the Merger.

 

Prior to the Merger, on March 22, 2017, Wrap LLC acquired privately held MegaWest from Petro River Oil Corp. (“Petro River”) through the issuance of 16.75 membership units, representing a 2% ownership interest in Wrap LLC. At that time, Petro River was owned 11% by Scot Cohen, Executive Chairman and a Manager of Petro River, a 26% owner of Wrap LLC, and a director and officer of the Company. MegaWest had no assets or liabilities at the date of acquisition and was not considered an operating business.

 

Wrap LLC’s acquisition of MegaWest and its subsequent merger with and into the MegaWest wholly-owned subsidiary and exchange of member units for common stock was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of Wrap LLC. Wrap LLC, now the Company, was deemed the accounting acquirer with MegaWest the accounting acquiree. The Company’s financial statements are in substance those of Wrap LLC, and are deemed to be a continuation of Wrap LLC’s business from its inception date of March 2, 2016. The balance sheet of the Company continues at historical cost, as the accounting acquiree had no assets or liabilities and no goodwill or intangible assets were recorded as part of the recapitalization of the Company.

 

To reflect the recapitalization, historical common shares and additional paid-in capital have been retroactively adjusted using the exchange ratio of approximately 23,930.60 shares for each membership unit of Wrap LLC.

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions (e.g., recognition and measurement of contingencies and accrued costs) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Public and Private Offerings

In December 2017, the Company completed a self-underwritten public offering raising gross proceeds of approximately $3.49 million from the sale of 2,328,533 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share. Three officers of the Company purchased an aggregate of 40,000 shares of the offering for an aggregate of $60,000.

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company obtained gross cash proceeds of $13.68 million and net cash proceeds of approximately $12.14 million from the sale of 4,561,074 units (“Units”) for $3.00 per Unit in a private offering. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one detachable two-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.

  

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07 for stock-based transactions with non-employees. Stock based compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018 includes compensation expense for all stock-based payments based on a grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The grant date is the date at which an employer and employee or non-employee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a stock-based payment award.

 

Loss per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The Company’s losses for the periods presented cause the inclusion of potential common stock instruments outstanding to be antidilutive. Stock options and warrants exercisable into a total of 7,084,681 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2018. These securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented as their inclusion would be antidilutive due to losses incurred by the Company.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short nature of these instruments.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash. Due to the relative short nature of such instrument, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The Company places its cash in a demand deposit account at one bank and such balances may at times be in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies, which is $250,000 as of December 31, 2018. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s policy is to evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on an assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and then record an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the receivables to an amount that management reasonably estimates will be collected. The following factors are considered when determining if collection of a receivable is reasonably assured: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded at December 31, 2018. Accounts that are deemed uncollectible will be written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. If a major customer’s creditworthiness deteriorates, or actual defaults exceed our historical experience, such estimates could change and impact our future reported financial results.

  

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all of the Company’s inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method. Inventory is comprised of raw materials, assemblies and finished products intended for sale to customers. The Company evaluates the need for reserves for excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily based upon estimates of future demand for the Company’s products. At December 31, 2018 the Company had no reserve for obsolescence.

 

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed over the estimated useful lives of three years using the straight-line method. The Company intends, on any retirement or disposition of property and equipment, that the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization will be removed and a gain or loss recorded.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of capitalized legal fees and filing costs related to obtaining patents and trademarks. Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization for patents is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining lives of issued patents which is 20 years from the initial filing. Trademarks are amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years, the estimated useful life of the assets.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles held for use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or if changes in facts and circumstances indicate, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the asset’s fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss during the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2018.

 

Classification and Valuation of Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each particular instrument. Warrants valued and classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital based on the issue date fair value and no further adjustment to valuation is made. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no warrants or other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities and periodic revaluation.

 

Advertising and Promotion Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $27,218 and $11,812 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company incurred product promotion costs for demonstration products delivered to prospective customers of $192,484 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Advertising and promotion costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist primarily of contract development costs and experimental work materials and certain startup patent costs. Research and development costs with no alternative use are expensed as incurred.

 

Leases

Leases entered into are classified as either capital or operating leases. At the time a capital lease is entered into, an asset is recorded, together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the purchase and financing. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no capital lease obligations.

 

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) and ASC Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers (“ASC 340-40”), (collectively, “Topic 606”). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 and, as it had no prior revenue or contracts with customers, there was no transition required nor any impact on prior results. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations. See Note 2 for additional information.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. Shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are included in revenue. Actual shipping and handling costs were $1,570 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Actual revenues from shipping and handling were $670 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Warranty Reserves

The Company warrants its products and accessories to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty is generally limited. The Company currently provides direct warranty service. International market warranties are generally similar to the U.S. market.

 

The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenues are recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period. The warranty reserve was $428 at December 31, 2018.

 

Segment Information

The Company has one operating segment with one business activity, providing restraint solutions. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who manages operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources.

 

Income Taxes

Until its reverse recapitalization on March 31, 2017, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and did not incur income taxes. Instead, its losses were included in the income tax returns of the member partners. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements for the period prior to March 31, 2017 and no income tax expense was recorded for period ended December 31, 2018 due to losses incurred.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws. Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimates.

 

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2018 through the date the accompanying financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and noted that there have been no events or transactions which would affect the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Guidance

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement:

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this ASU change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. The amendments in Part I of this ASU are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  The amendments in Part II of this ASU replace the indefinite deferral of certain guidance in Topic 480 with a scope exception. The amendments in Part II of this ASU do not require any transition guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s historical financial statements and the Company was permitted and adopted retrospectively to January 1, 2018 the standard for any equity securities with down round features. 

 

As discussed above under “Revenue Recognition”, the Company adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance which provided an additional transition method for adopting the updated guidance. Under the additional transition method, entities may elect to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. We currently plan to adopt this standard using this modified retrospective approach.

 

Effective the first quarter of 2019:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance which provided an additional transition method for adopting the updated guidance. Under the additional transition method, entities may elect to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. We currently plan to adopt this standard using this modified retrospective approach.

 

Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the requirement for lessees to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. The standard requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and certainty of cash flows arising from leases. We intend to elect certain of the available practical expedients upon adoption. We have evaluated our existing lease portfolio and believe that our population of leases is low in number. We have implemented key processes and controls to enable the accurate assessment of leases and preparation of related financial information.

 

We expect adoption of the standard will result in the recognition of an ROU asset and lease liability of approximately $12,900 for one operating lease as of January 1, 2019, with no impact to retained earnings. We had no capital leases at December 31, 2018.

 

Effective the first quarter of 2020:

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

 

Other pronouncements:

 

The Company has reviewed other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements will be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of operations.
