PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

(a)

General development of business.

 

FastFunds Financial Corporation (“FastFunds”, “FFFC” or the “Company”) is a holding company, organized in Nevada in 1985.

 

In their opinion letter for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, our auditors included an explanatory paragraph that disclosed conditions that raise concerns about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Please refer to the audited financial statements and accompanying auditors report within this filing.

  

FFFC, formerly operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Chex Services, Inc. (“Chex”). Chex is a Minnesota corporation formed in 1992, and prior to the Asset Sale described and defined below, provided financial services, primarily check cashing, automated teller machine (ATM) access and credit and debit card advances, to customers predominantly at Native American owned casinos and gaming establishments. FastFunds previously existed under the name “Seven Ventures, Inc.” On June 7, 2004, a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven Ventures, Inc. merged with and into Chex (the "Merger”). In the Merger, Hydrogen Power, Inc. (“HPI”), exchanged its 100% ownership of Chex for 12,833 shares of the Company’s common stock; representing approximately 93% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following the Merger. On June 29, 2004, the Company changed its name to FastFunds Financial Corporation.

 

On December 22, 2005, FastFunds and Chex entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Game Financial Corporation, pursuant to which FastFunds and Chex agreed to sell substantially all the assets of Chex (the “Asset Sale”). Such assets also represent substantially all of the operating assets of FastFunds on a consolidated basis. On January 31, 2006, FastFunds and Chex completed the Asset Sale for $14 million. Additionally, FastFunds and Chex entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Game Financial pursuant to which FastFunds and Chex agreed to provide certain services to Game Financial to ensure a smooth transition of the sale of the cash access financial services business. HPI agreed to serve as a guarantor of FastFunds and Chex’s performance obligations under the Transition Service Agreement.

 

On February 28, 2006, HPI (then known as Equitex, Inc.), held a special meeting of shareholders at which two proposals were approved authorizing the acquisition of Hydrogen Power, Inc. (“Old HPI”), through a newly formed wholly-owned Equitex subsidiary as well as certain related common stock issuances. Per the terms of the transaction, as amended, Equitex was obligated to deliver $5 million to Old HPI as a condition to close. On March 14, 2006, FastFunds loaned Equitex the $5 million (the “$5 Million Loan”) for one year at 10% per annum interest. As security for the $5 Million Loan, Equitex pledged to FastFunds all of the common stock of Old HPI. In addition, FastFunds is to receive a profit interest from the operations of Old HPI equal to 10% of the net profit of Old HPI, as defined in the relevant loan documents.

 

On January 2, 2007, pursuant to the terms of a Redemption, Stock Sale and Release Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) by and between HPI and the Company, we (i) redeemed 8,917,344 shares of our common stock held by HPI, (ii) acquired from HPI an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Denaris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Denaris”), (iii) acquired from HPI an aggregate of 1,000 shares of common stock of Key Financial Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Key Financial”), and (iv) acquired from HPI an aggregate of 1,000 shares of common stock of Nova Financial Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nova Financial”). Denaris is now a majority owned subsidiary, and Key Financial and Nova Financial are wholly owned subsidiaries of FFFC. Denaris and Key Financial are inactive entities with no operating or intellectual property assets. Nova has limited activity as well as limited assets. The shares of common stock of each entity transferred to us pursuant to the Redemption Agreement constituted all of HPI holdings in each entity. In consideration of the redemption and acquisition of the shares of Denaris, Key Financial and Nova Financial, we released HPI from all outstanding payment obligations, including obligations under the $5 Million Note dated March 14, 2006. The outstanding balance on the $5 Million Note, including principal and interest accrued, as of the date of the Redemption Agreement was $5,402,398. The Company received a fairness opinion from an unaffiliated third party with respect to this transaction.

 

After the closing of the Redemption Agreement, HPI held 17,500 shares of FFFC common stock. These shares have been pledged as collateral on certain notes of HPI. During 2008, as a result of the assumption of this debt by HPI Partners, LLC. (“HPIP”) and the subsequent foreclosure by the debt holders upon HPIP, HPIP owns the 10.5 million shares. One of the principal managers of HPIP Mr. Fong, is currently the Company’s sole officer and director. As of December 31, 2013, we held 1,541,858 shares of HPI common stock, constituting approximately 5.2% of HPI common stock. Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, the Company and HPI each provided the other certain registration rights relating to the common stock of such party held by the other party.

 

On January 18, 2008, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Washington in King County (the “Superior Court”). The complaint was filed by FastFunds Financial Corporation, Daniel Bishop, Barbara M. Schaper, HP Services LLC, VP Development Corporation, and Gulfstream Financial Partners, LLC (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) against Dilbagh Singh Gujral, Ricky Gurdish Gujral, Virendra Chaudhary, Hydrofuels Technology, Inc. (“GHTI”) and Hydrogen Power, Inc. (collectively, the “Defendants”).

 

Messrs. Chaudhary and Dilawari are directors of HPI. GHTI is the majority shareholder of HPI. Ricky Gurdish Gujral is the former chief executive officer of HPI. The complaint alleges fraud, misappropriation of corporate opportunity and breach of fiduciary duty by the Defendants relating to the merger of Equitex, Inc. and Hydrogen Power, Inc., the Sublicense Agreement with GHTI, and payments to Ricky Gurdish Gujral. The complaint seeks the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the property and assets of the Company and to manage and operate the Company pending completion of the action. The complaint also seeks damages in the excess of $3,000,000, exemplary damages, attorney’s fees plus interest and costs and any other relief the court finds just and proper. On January 25, 2008, the Superior Court appointed a receiver of HPI with respect to HPI’s assets. Some assets have been recovered by the Receiver. One of the defendants has filed a counterclaim asserting that the action is frivolous; the Plaintiffs have denied the counterclaim in its entirety. GHTI has sought arbitration regarding ownership of certain patent applications and other intellectual property. GHTI was granted a stay of this case until the arbitration is complete.

 

On March 25, 2010 the Defendants and Plaintiffs entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the receiver and the Court on September 23, 2010, the Defendants and Plaintiffs have agreed to release each other from the claims and to have no further suits against each other. Additionally, the Defendants have agreed to assign to the Receiver for the benefits of the Plaintiffs any and all rights, including but not limited to insurance payments and settlements for any and all officers and directors liability insurance policies.

 

On October 7, 2013, the Company formed Financiera Moderna, Inc. (“FM”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary to develop and market financial products and services targeted for the Hispanic community. The spectrum of financial products to be offered includes insurance, secured credit cards, debit cards, mortgage products and financial literacy tools.

 

On November 7, 2013, FM signed a marketing and funding agreement (“the Marketing Agreement”) with Compra Vida (“CV”) and Compra Casa (“CS”); development stage companies that formulate, develop and implement marketing programs to the Spanish speaking U.S. market. On November 20, 2013, the Company remitted $15,000 to the principals of CV and CS pursuant to the Marketing Agreement. Subsequently, the parties have agreed to terminate the Marketing Agreement, to allow CV and CS to revise their marketing concept to implement a more direct to consumer approach. Accordingly, the parties are still negotiating the final transaction. At this time, it does not appear an agreement will be imminent related to these companies, and there is no assurance an agreement will ever be reached.

 

As part of the initial transaction, FFFC issued 50,000 shares of common stock to the principals of CV and CS. Due to the termination of that agreement and the ongoing negotiations the common stock has not been delivered and has been recorded as Treasury Stock, pending the outcome of the final transaction.

 

From time to time we evaluate opportunities for strategic investments or acquisitions that would complement our current services and products, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations may take place and future investments or acquisitions involving cash, debt or equity securities or a combination thereof may result. FastFunds Financial Corporation maintains its principal office at 319 Clematis Street, Suite 400, West Palm Beach, Florida. You can reach us by telephone at (514) 514-9042.

This future development will allow for several sources of revenue to be derived for the Company; including premium access membership fees, sponsorship and endorsement fees, and advertising revenue. As the Company has moved toward other initiatives, the site activity has been very limited and the Company is exploring alternatives to make the site more active, but there is no assurance it will be successful.

 

On April 17, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CA announced a Merchant Payment Processing Agreement to offer a debit card payment solution for retail cannabis dispensaries.

The Company currently has thirty-six full and part time employees at Brawnstone Security. None of our employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

The purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock is very speculative and involves a very high degree of risk. An investment in the Company is suitable only for the persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. Accordingly, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information set forth herein, in making an investment decision with respect to securities of the Company.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY AND HISTORY:

 

We have a limited operating business and therefore limited revenues. We have also posted significant losses in each of the past two fiscal years.

 

In January 2006, we sold substantially all of our operating business, owned by Chex, to Game Financial Corporation. The Company currently has a limited operating business and therefore limited revenues. In addition, we have posted significant losses in each of our past two fiscal years including $2,681,000 and $1,425,541 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As a result, any investment in the Company must be considered purely speculative.

 

The Company’s balance sheet contains certain notes payable, which are currently in default/were due February 28, 2008.

 

Chex previously relied on promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued to private investors to provide operating capital for its business. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the Notes was $2,090,719. These Notes were initially due in February 2007 and at that time the Company renewed $283,000 of the Promissory Notes on the same terms and conditions as previously existed. The Company has failed to pay interest and the principal amount of these notes. The Company received complaints filed from several of these note holders. The Company has not responded to these complaints and accordingly the plaintiffs were awarded default judgments. In April 2007 the Company, through a financial advisor, restructured $1,825,000 of the Notes (the “Restructured Notes”). The Restructured Notes carry a stated interest rate of 15% and matured on February 28, 2008. The Company has not paid the interest on the Notes since June 30, 2007 and did not repay the Notes on their maturity date and does not currently have sufficient capital to repay the Notes. In January 2008, the Company and the three guarantors received a complaint filed by the financial advisor (acting as agent for the holders of the Restructured Notes) and the holders of the Restructured Notes. The court has ruled in favor of a motion for summary judgment filed by certain of the plaintiffs and a judgment has been entered in the total amount of $2,487,250 in principal and interest on the notes, $40,920 in related claims and $124,972 in attorney’s fees and expenses. The judgment was entered on August 18, 2009. The Company has not made any payments of principal or interest since the judgment. 

 

We may require additional financing to complete any merger, but we are uncertain whether such financing will be available to us.

 

We will require additional capital to continue or to expand our business plans. Other than disclosed in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements, as part of this Annual Report, we have not identified any potential candidate business with which to merge, therefore, we cannot be certain that business will have revenues from operations that will generate cash flow sufficient to finance our operations and growth thereafter. In addition, we require additional financing to complete any potential merger to eliminate our current debt, or for working capital purposes to operate our business both now, and in the future, including any operations following a successful acquisition, if any.

 

Additional financing could be sought from a number of sources, including but not limited to additional sales of equity or debt securities, or loans from banks, other financial institutions or affiliates of the Company. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity, then the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may become subject to certain operational limitations (i.e., negative operating covenants), and such securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our existing common stock. It is also possible that financing will not be available to us on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our business including the potential acquisition of an operating company.

 

As of December 31, 2014, there are outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for an aggregate of approximately 24,847,967 shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2014, which, if converted or exchanged, will substantially dilute our existing stockholders.

 

The Company currently has outstanding notes and securities convertible into or exchangeable for an aggregate of 24,847,967 shares of common stock under certain conditions. In addition, the effective conversion and exercise prices of such securities significantly lower than the current market value of our common stock. If these securities are converted into or exchanged for common stock, their issuance would have a substantial dilutive effect on the percentage ownership of our current stockholders. These securities consist of: options to purchase 1,650 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $0.34 per share, warrants to purchase 312,500 shares at a purchase price of 55% of the current market price, 24,272,750 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion terms of $798,074 in outstanding convertible promissory notes and the conversion of Class A and B Preferred stock into 261,067 shares of common stock.

 

Our common stock trades only in an illiquid trading market, which generally results in lower prices for our common stock.

 

Trading of our common stock is conducted on the Over-The-Counter Quotation Board. This has an adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and the lack of security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of our Company and its common stock. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock.

 

We have not paid dividends to date, and have no intention of paying dividends to our stockholders.

 

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the only return on an investment in our common stock, if any, may occur upon a subsequent sale of the shares of common stock.

 

We may be subject to liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Regulation 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

 

On September 4, 2014 we filed a Form 8-K announcing the increase in our authorized common stock from 6,000,000,000 shares to 9,000,000,000 effective as of August 25, 2014. We received approval from our majority shareholder and Board, however, we did not comply with the disclosure requirements of Regulation 14C under the Exchange Act prior to the effective date of such corporate action. As a result of our failure to comply with Regulation 14C, the SEC may bring an enforcement action or commence litigation against us for failure to comply with Regulation 14C. If any claims or actions were to be brought against us relating to our lack of compliance with Regulation 14C, we could be subject to penalties, required to pay fines, make damages payments, or settlement payments. In addition, any claims or actions could force us to expend significant financial resources to defend ourselves, could divert the attention of our management from our core business and could harm our reputation. However, we believe that the potential for any claims or actions is not probable.  

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 

Effective June 2014 the Company leases office space in West Palm Beach, Florida in a one year lease with a total payment of $1,207 per month for a period of one year. As a result, our obligations under this lease for 2015 include a total of $6,035 in lease payments.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters may have a material adverse impact either individually or in the aggregate on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In January 2008 the Company and three guarantors received a complaint filed by Grace Capital, LLC (as agent) and individual note holders in the Fourth Judicial District in the County of Hennepin, in the State of Minnesota. The complaint seeks payment of principal and interest of $1,946,250 as of January 22, 2008, plus default per diem interest at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum and $37,000 for unpaid fees to Grace Capital, LLC. The court has ruled in favor of a motion for summary judgment filed by certain of the plaintiffs and had a judgment entered in the total amount of $2,487,250 in principal and interest on the notes, $40,920 in related claims and $124,972 in attorney’s fees and expenses. The judgment was entered on August 18, 2009.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Sale, the Company owed Game Financial Corporation (“Game”) approximately $300,000. The parties agreed to settle the balance due for $275,000. The Company didn’t make any payments as stipulated in the settlement, and subsequently, Game filed a complaint against the Company. The Company has agreed to a judgment of $275,000 plus interest and attorney fees for a total of $329,146.

 

ITEM 4.  MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The financial statements presented for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include FastFunds, Brawnstone, Chex, Collection Solutions, FastFunds International Limited, Key, Nova and Denaris.

 

In light of the foregoing, and the Company’s sale of substantially all of its assets in January 2006, the historical data presented below is not indicative of, and therefore, not useful for purposes of predicting future results. You should read this information in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes to those statements (Item 8), and the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”.

 

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of its remaining assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has a working capital deficit of approximately $11,123,195, and an accumulated deficit of $27,292,757 as of December 31, 2014. Moreover, it presently has no ongoing business operations or sources of revenue, and little available resources with which to obtain or develop new operations.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate resources to fund future operations or that funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation:

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“USGAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

For the purpose of the financial statements, the Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity three-months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fixed assets:

 

Fixed Assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of taxes, duties, freight, installation and allocated incidental expenditure during construction/ acquisition.

 

Accounts receivables and revenue recognition:

 

Accounts receivables are stated at cost plus refundable and earned fees (the balance reported to customers), reduced by allowances for refundable fees and losses. As of December 31, 2011 management believed that part of this receivable would not be collected in the next twelve months and accordingly was reclassified as non-current on the accompanying balance sheet. Fees (revenues) are accrued monthly on active credit card accounts and included in credit card receivables, net of estimated uncollectible amounts. Accrual of income is discontinued on credit card accounts that have been closed or charged off. Accrued fees on credit card loans are charged off with the card balance, generally when the account becomes 90 days past due. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Credit card receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term.

 

Long-lived assets:

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, management determined the license agreement of CCUSA, our wholly owned subsidiary, and the Company’s related investment in CCUSA were impaired and recognized an impairment charge of $250,000.

 

Goodwill:

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)-350-30-50 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter each year.

 

Noncontrolling interest:

 

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted authoritative accounting guidance that requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and income attributable to those parties, be clearly identified and distinguished in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s non-controlling interest is now disclosed as a separate component of the Company’s consolidated deficiency on the balance sheets. Earnings and other comprehensive income are separately attributed to both the controlling and non-controlling interests. Earnings per share are calculated based on net income attributable to the Company’s controlling interest. 

 

Loss per share: 

Loss per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants, and common stock underlying convertible promissory notes are not considered in the calculations for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the impact of the potential common shares, which total 24,847,967 (2014) 6,050,774 (2013) would be antidilutive.

 

Use of estimates:

 

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required in interpreting information necessary to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates of fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

 

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current non-related party accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturities of these instruments.

 

The fair values of notes and advances receivable from non-related parties approximate their net carrying values because of the allowances recorded as well as the short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of receivables from related parties are not practicable to estimate, based upon the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

 

The fair values of notes and loans payable to non-related parties approximate their carrying values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt to non-related parties approximates carrying values, net of discounts applied, based on market rates currently available to the Company.

 

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

 

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

 

Accounting for obligations and instruments potentially settled in the Company’s common stock:

 

The Company accounts for obligations and instruments potentially to be settled in the Company's stock in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock. This issue addresses the initial balance sheet classification and measurement of contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, the Company's stock.

 

Under ASC Topic 815, contracts are initially classified as equity or as either assets or liabilities, depending on the situation. All contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for based on the then current classification. Contracts initially classified as equity do not recognize subsequent changes in fair value as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. For contracts classified as assets or liabilities, the Company reports changes in fair value in earnings and discloses these changes in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as assets or liabilities. If contracts classified as assets or liabilities are ultimately settled in shares, any previously reported gains or losses on those contracts continue to be included in earnings. The classification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date.

 

Stock-based compensation:

 

The Company has one stock option plan approved by FFFC’s Board of Directors in 2004, and also grants options and warrants to consultants outside of its stock option plan pursuant to individual agreements. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. We use the Black Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The Company’s stock option plan is more fully described in Note 9.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.  It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.  The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities.

 

The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

 

As of the date of this report, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that we believe would have a material impact on our financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

A review and evaluation was performed by the Company's management, including the Company's Acting Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") who is also the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO /CFO has concluded that as of December 31, 2014 disclosure controls and procedures, were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting 

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

•

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

•

Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

•

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).. As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014as described below.

 

We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

We are committed to improving the internal controls and will (1) consider to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

 

We have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

(i)

Identification of the audit committee.

 

The Company does not currently have an audit committee of the board of directors, as none is required, and the board believes it can effectively serve in that function and, therefore, currently does. Management believes that our sole member of the board of directors may have the necessary attributes to serve as a financial expert on an audit committee, if required.

 

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. We believe that during 2014, based solely on a review of the copies of such forms, if any, furnished to us during 2013 and written representations from the executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% beneficial owners of our common stock, have complied with all Section 16 filing requirements.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for our senior financial management, which includes our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as principal executive and accounting officers, that has been filed as an exhibit to this report.

As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Fong was owed $25,500 for these services, included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Mr. Fong converted the entire amount of this note into 5,000,000 common shares that were issued to his assigns.

 

Cash Incentive Bonuses

 

We had no cash incentive bonus program in effect for 2014.

 

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits

 

We had no provisions for mandatory severance benefits in the event of a termination of change of control of the Company.

 

Effective January 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of 1,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock (the “Class C Preferred Stock Shares”) to Mr. Fong or his assigns in consideration for services rendered to the Company and continuing to work for the Company without receiving significant payment for services and without the Company at that time of issuance having the ability to issue shares of common stock as the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for any such issuances.

 

As a result of the issuance of the Class C Preferred Stock Shares to Mr. Fong, or his assigns and the Super Majority Voting Rights (described below), Mr. Fong obtained voting rights over the Company’s outstanding voting stock which provides him the right to vote up to 51% of the total voting shares able to vote on any and all shareholder matters.  As a result, Mr. Fong will exercise majority control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of Directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Fong may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders.  Additionally, it may be impossible for shareholders to remove Mr. Fong as an officer or Director of the Company due to the Super Majority Voting Rights.

 

Other Benefits

 

Through the Asset Sale on January 31, 2006, our executives were eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life and disability insurance on the same basis as our other employees.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Security Ownership of Management.

 

The following table contains information at March 31, 2015, as to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock and preferred stock by each person who, to our knowledge at that date, was the beneficial owner of five percent or more of the outstanding shares of the class, each person who is a director or a named executive officer of the Company under the summary compensation table and all persons as a group who are current executive officers and directors, and as to the percentage of outstanding shares so held by them at March 31, 2015. The number of shares beneficially held is determined under rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Including the number of shares below does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of the shares. Effective February 2, 2015, the Company completed a one share for six hundred share (1 for 600) reverse split of its common stock. Accordingly, the 8,618,747,434 shares of common stock outstanding at that date became 14,364,876 shares post-split. Al per share figures on the following table have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse split.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

(a) Transactions with Related Persons.

 

None.

 

Transactions with Directors

 

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Our board of directors has one director and has no standing sub-committees at this time due to the associated expenses and the small size of our board. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent.

 

In performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements. While we do not currently have a standing compensation committee, our non-employee director considers executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our non-employee board members oversee our compensation policies, plans and programs. Our non-employee board members further review and approve corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers; review the compensation and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers; and administer our equity incentive and stock option plans. Each of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Fastfunds Financial Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fastfunds Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. Fastfunds Financial Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fastfunds Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficit. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FASTFUNDS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1. Business and organization, asset sale, and going concern and management’s plans:

 

Business and organization:

 

FastFunds Financial Corporation (the “Company” or “FFFC”) is a holding company, and through January 31, 2006, operated primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary Chex Services, Inc. (“Chex”). FFFC was previously organized as Seven Ventures, Inc. (“SVI”). Effective June 7, 2004, Chex merged with SVI (the “Merger”), a Nevada corporation formed in 1985. At the date of the Merger, SVI was a public shell with no significant operations. The acquisition of Chex by SVI was recorded as a reverse acquisition based on factors demonstrating that Chex represents the accounting acquirer. The historical stockholders’ equity of Chex prior to the exchange was retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect to any differences in the par value of the SVI and Chex common stock, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. The restated consolidated accumulated deficit of the accounting acquirer (Chex) has been carried forward after the exchange. On June 29, 2004, SVI changed its name to FFFC.

 

On March 5, 2013, the Company and its’ wholly owned subsidiary NET LIFE Processing Inc., (“NET LIFE”) entered into an Agreement Concerning the Exchange of Securities (the “Agreement”) with Net Life Financial Processing Trust (“Net Life Trust”) and the Trustee of Net Life Trust pursuant to which NET LIFE will acquire the exclusive mortgage servicing rights (the “Rights”) from Net Life Trust. Net Life Trust holds the exclusive mortgage servicing rights from Net Life Financial Holdings Trust.

 

The consideration for the Rights will be thirty three percent (33%) of the Company on a post issuance basis (the “Share Consideration”). The parties have agreed that the Share Consideration can be in a Class of newly formed Preferred Stock which Certificate of Designation, will include among other things, the right for the Preferred Stock to convert to thirty three percent (33%) of the outstanding shares of common stock, post issuance.

 

The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the “Closing”) is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including that the representations and warranties given by the Parties are materially true and correct as of the Closing, and the exchanging and approval by each party of the other party’s schedules and exhibits. The Company is conducting ongoing due diligence and there is no assurance the closing conditions will be met and that this transaction will ever close.

 

NET LIFE is a development stage enterprise that has developed and is offering an innovative new mortgage product that is not based on credit history (no doc) or personal guarantees. It is only secured by the underlying collateral and a life insurance policy on the borrower. Therefore, all that is required to qualify for a mortgage loan is qualifying for a life insurance policy, a down payment that usually amounts to 10% of the purchase price and verification that the borrower has the financial ability to pay the monthly payments. NET LIFE believes this mortgage product will be attractive to a wide spectrum of potential borrowers including:

 

·

first time homebuyers

 

·

borrowers who have experienced prior financial difficulties such as foreclosures, bankruptcies, late payments or other credit problems

 

·

borrowers who are presently employed and whose current income would qualify for a mortgage loan; but who couldn't otherwise qualify; and

 

·

borrowers who may wish to bypass the traditional paperwork involved in the typical underwriting process but who would otherwise qualify.

 

 

Since its formation in 2012, NET LIFE has represented that it had conducted testing via a number of successful closings, however, to date the Company has been unable to verify these occurrences.

 

On October 3, 2013, the Company announced the formation of Financiera Moderna (“FM”), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. FM will develop an array of financial products to be marketed to the underserved and unbanked Latino population. The spectrum of financial products to be offered includes insurance, secured credit cards, debit cards, mortgage products and financial literacy tools. One of the priority projects is to develop a mortgage product that accommodates the average Latino credit profile and economic circumstances.

 

Effective January 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of 1,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock (as defined and described below) (the “Class C Preferred Stock Shares”) to Mr. Henry Fong, the Company’s sole officer and Director, or his assigns in consideration for services rendered to the Company and continuing to work for the Company without receiving significant payment for services and without the Company having the ability to issue shares of common stock as the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for any such issuances.

 

As a result of the issuance of the Class C Preferred Stock Shares to Mr. Fong, or his assigns and the Super Majority Voting Rights (described below), Mr. Fong obtained voting rights over the Company’s outstanding voting stock which provides him the right to vote up to 51% of the total voting shares able to vote on any and all shareholder matters.  As a result, Mr. Fong will exercise majority control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of Directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Fong may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders.  Additionally, it may be impossible for shareholders to remove Mr. Fong as an officer or Director of the Company due to the Super Majority Voting Rights.

 

On January 21, 2014, the Company formed Cannabis Angel, Inc. (“CA”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary. CA was formed to assist and provide angel funding, business development and consulting services to Cannabis related projects and ancillary ventures. CA has entered into the following agreements:

On November 14, 2014, FastFunds Financial Corporation entered into a definitive licensing agreement with Nevada-based Chongson, Inc. pertaining to the production, promotion and sale of the Tommy Chong branded Cannabis GreenCard product.

 

Going concern and management’s plans:

The Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The Company reported a net loss of $2,681,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, and has a working capital deficit of $11,123,195 and an accumulated deficit of $27,292,757 as of December 31, 2014. Moreover, the Company presently has no significant ongoing business operations or sources of revenue and has little resources with which to obtain or develop new operations.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate resources to fund future operations, if any, or that funds will be available to the Company when needed, or if available, will be available on favorable terms or in amounts required by the Company. Currently, the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institutions, nor can the Company provide any assurance it will be able to enter into any such agreement in the future. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company evaluates, on an ongoing basis, potential business acquisition/restructuring opportunities that become available from time to time, which management considers in relation to its corporate plans and strategies.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation:

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“USGAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

For the purpose of the financial statements, the Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity three-months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fixed assets:

 

Fixed Assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of taxes, duties, freight, installation and allocated incidental expenditure during construction/ acquisition.

 

Accounts receivables and revenue recognition:

 

Accounts receivables are stated at cost plus refundable and earned fees (the balance reported to customers), reduced by allowances for refundable fees and losses. Fees (revenues) are accrued monthly on active credit card accounts and included in accounts receivables, net of estimated uncollectible amounts. Accrual of income is discontinued on credit card accounts that have been closed or charged off. Accrued fees on credit card loans are charged off with the card balance, generally when the account becomes 90 days past due. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Credit card receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term.

 

Long-lived assets:

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Noncontrolling interest:

 

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted authoritative accounting guidance that requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and income attributable to those parties, be clearly identified and distinguished in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s noncontrolling interest is now disclosed as a separate component of the Company’s consolidated deficiency on the balance sheets. Earnings and other comprehensive income are separately attributed to both the controlling and noncontrolling interests.  Earnings per share are calculated based on net income attributable to the Company’s controlling interest.

 

Loss per share:

 

Loss per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants, and common stock underlying convertible promissory notes are not considered in the calculations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the impact of the potential common shares, which total 24,847,967 (2014) and 6,050,774 (2013), would be antidilutive.

 

Use of estimates:

 

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of derivative liabilities on stock based compensation.

 

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required in interpreting information necessary to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates of fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

 

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current non-related party accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturities of these instruments.

 

The fair values of notes and advances receivable from non-related parties approximate their net carrying values because of the allowances recorded as well as the short maturities of these instruments.

 

The fair values of notes and loans payable to non-related parties approximate their carrying values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt to non-related parties approximates carrying values, net of discounts applied, based on market rates currently available to the Company.

 

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

 

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

 

Accounting for obligations and instruments potentially settled in the Company’s common stock:

 

The Company accounts for obligations and instruments potentially to be settled in the Company's stock in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock. This issue addresses the initial balance sheet classification and measurement of contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, the Company's stock.

 

Under ASC Topic 815, contracts are initially classified as equity or as either assets or liabilities, depending on the situation. All contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for based on the then current classification. Contracts initially classified as equity do not recognize subsequent changes in fair value as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. For contracts classified as assets or liabilities, the Company reports changes in fair value in earnings and discloses these changes in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as assets or liabilities. If contracts classified as assets or liabilities are ultimately settled in shares, any previously reported gains or losses on those contracts continue to be included in earnings. The classification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date.

 

Stock-based compensation:

 

The Company has one stock option plan approved by FFFC’s Board of Directors in 2004, and also grants options and warrants to consultants outside of its stock option plan pursuant to individual agreements. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company uses the Black Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. 

 

The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s stock option plan is more fully described in Note 9.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.  It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.  The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2006 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

 

The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations

 

Reclassifications:

 

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period's financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders' deficiency.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

 

As of the date of this report, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that we believe would have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

3. Notes receivable:

 

On February 20, 2014, LG Capital Funding, LLC (“LG”) issued a $40,000 collateralized secured promissory note to the Company. The note bears interest at the rate of 8% and is due no later than November 20, 2014, unless the Company does not meet the current information requirements required under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

On March 19, 2014, the Company advanced $25,000 to Worldwide Marijuana Investments, Inc. (“WMI”) in exchange for a $25,000 promissory note. Interest of 12% per annum is payable in monthly installments, along with a monthly principal amount of $500 beginning April 1, 2014 for twelve months, at which time the remaining principal amount and interest will be due in full. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal amount on the promissory note is $21,080.

 

4. Long term investments:

 

On March 30, 2011, the Company and Paymaster Limited (“Paymaster”) agreed to restructure a note receivable (the “Note”). Pursuant to the agreement, the parties agreed to convert the remaining balance of $339,575 of the Note receivable into Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (the Preference Shares”) with a value of $400,000, and an annual dividend of 7.5% over thirty-six (36) months. Paymaster, at any time prior to maturity, may elect to redeem some or all of the Preference Shares at an effective dividend rate of 10% per annum. The Company, upon maturity and with not less than ninety (90) days prior notice, may elect to convert some or all of Preference Shares into the pro rata equivalent of 11,100 ordinary shares of Paymaster (equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company based on the conversion of all Preference Shares on a fully diluted basis). The Company has recorded the investment at $89,575, net of a valuation allowance of $250,000, the same historical carrying value on the Company’s balance sheet as the note. The last dividend the Company has received was the quarterly dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

On July 24, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The 420 Development Corporation, acquired a 70% interest in Brawnstone.

The Restructured Notes carry a stated interest rate of 15% (a default rate of 20%) and matured on February 28, 2008.

The Company has determined that the conversion features of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Notes represent embedded derivatives since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion features must be bifurcated from the debt hosts and accounted for as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments have been recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amounts recorded as a discounts to the Notes. Such discounts will be accreted from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liabilities for derivative contracts will be recorded to other income or expenses in the consolidated statement of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet.

 

The fair value of the conversion features embedded in the 2014 Notes as of their dates of issuance and in their entirety as of December 31, 2014 was determined to approximate their fair intrinsic value due to the terms of conversion.

7. Commitments and contingencies:

 

Litigation:

 

The Forest County Potawatomi Community (“FCPC”) has initiated an action against Chex, an inactive subsidiary of the Company, in the FCPC tribal court asserting that Chex breached a contract with FCPC during the 2002 to 2006 time period. Chex is inactive and did not defend this action. On October 1, 2009 a judgment was entered against Chex in the FCPC Tribal Court in the amount of $2,484,922. The Company has included $2,484,922 in litigation contingency on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate disposition of these matters may have a material adverse impact either individually or in the aggregate on future consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

 

8. Income taxes:

 

The operations of the Company for periods subsequent to its acquisition by HPI and through August 2004, at which time HPI’s ownership interest fell below 80% are included in consolidated federal income tax returns filed by HPI. Subsequent to August 2004 and through January 29, 2006 the Company will file a separate income tax return. As of January 30, 2006, HPI’s ownership interest again exceeded 80% and the operations of the Company will be included in a consolidated federal income tax from that date through October 29, 2006 when the ownership fell below 80%. As of October 30, 2006, the Company will be filing separate income tax returns. For financial reporting purposes, the Company’s provision for income taxes has been computed, and current and deferred taxes have been allocated on a basis as if the Company has filed a separate income tax return for each year presented. Management assesses the realization of its deferred tax assets to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will be realizable. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance based on this assessment.

 

Income tax expense for 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 

		2014				2013
Current:
Federal		$	—			$	—
State			—				—
			—				—
Deferred:
Federal			158,000				241,000
State			1,445,000				26,000
Valuation allowance			(1,603,000	)			(267,000	)
			—				—
		$	—			$	—

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

		2014				2013
Deferred tax assets - current:
Stock-based compensation and other		$	980,000			$	874,000
Net operating loss carry forwards			2,524,000				821,000
			3,504,000				1,695,000
Less valuation allowance			(3,504,000	)			(1,695,000	)
Net deferred tax assets		$	—			$	—

 

A reconciliation between the expected tax expense (benefit) and the effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

		2014				2013
Statutory federal income tax rate			(34	%)			(34	%)
State taxes, net of federal income tax			(4	%)			(4	%)
Effect of change in valuation allowance			(7	%)			(7	%)
Non deductible expenses and other			45	%			45	%
			0	%			0	%

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $9,481,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2029. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.

Preferred stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On October 19, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the filing of a Certificate of Designation (“COD”) establishing the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock.

 

As of December 31, 2013 there are 819,000 shares of Class A preferred stock outstanding. The shares have been pledged as collateral by CCC (the sole holder of the shares) subsequently pledged the 819,000 shares of Class A Preferred stock they own as collateral in conjunction with the issuance of the $50,000 convertible note issued to Flux Carbon Starter Fund, LLC.

 

The COD for Class A Preferred stock states; each share of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes determined at any time and from time to time determined as follows: any holder of Class A Preferred Stock can vote such shares as if converted based on the Conversion Rights in below. The Class A Preferred Stock shall have a right to vote on all matters presented or submitted to the Corporation’s stockholders for approval in pari passu with holders of the Corporation’s common stock, and not as a separate class. Each share of the Class A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (the “Conversion”) into shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the moment there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to allow for the Conversion. The number of shares of common stock to which a holder of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon a conversion shall equal the product obtained by (a) multiplying the number of fully diluted common shares by twenty five hundredths (0.25), then (b) multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Preferred stock being converted and the denominator of which will be the number of authorized shares of Class A Preferred stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2014 there are 819,000 shares of Class A Preferred stock outstanding.

 

On December 14, 2012, Board of Directors approved the filing of a COD establishing the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Company’s Class B Preferred Stock. The COD allows the Board of Directors in its sole discretion to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. The COD for Class B Preferred stock states; each share of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes determined at any time and from time to time determined as follows: any holder of Class B Preferred Stock can vote such shares as if converted based on the Conversion Rights in below. The Class B Preferred Stock shall have a right to vote on all matters presented or submitted to the Corporation’s stockholders for approval in pari passu with holders of the Corporation’s common stock, and not as a separate class. Each share of the Class B Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (the “Conversion”) into shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the moment there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to allow for the Conversion. The Class B Preferred Stock will convert in their entirety, simultaneously to equal the amount of shares of common stock resulting from the amount of series B Preferred Stock outstanding multiplied by sixty (60). The Conversion shares will be issued pro rata so that each holder of the Class B Preferred Stock will receive the appropriate number of shares of common stock equal to their percentage ownership of their Class B Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2014 there are 1,791,667 and 1,791,667, respectively, shares of Class B Preferred stock outstanding.

 

On March 19, 2013 Carbon exchanged 16,000,000 shares of common stock for the issuance of 266,667 shares of class B preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, the Company determined there were not any additional costs to be recognized.

 

On April 29, 2013 the Company issued 935,666 shares of Class B preferred stock to Carbon to replace the 819,000 Series A preferred stock they pledged as collateral to Flux. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, the Company determined there were not any additional costs to be recognized.

 

On June 5, 2013, the Company issued 175,000 shares of Class B preferred stock in exchange for the cancellation and return to treasury of 10,500,000 shares of common stock from a related party. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, the Company determined there were not any additional costs to be recognized.

 

On August 6, 2013, Carbon exchanged 7,000,000 shares of common stock for the issuance of 116,667 shares of class B preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, the Company determined there were not any additional costs to be recognized.

 

Effective January 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of 1,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock (as defined and described below) (the “Class C Preferred Stock Shares”) to Mr. Fong or his assigns in consideration for services rendered to the Company and continuing to work for the Company without receiving significant payment for services and without the Company having the ability to issue shares of common stock as the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock to allow for any such issuances.

 

As a result of the issuance of the Class C Preferred Stock Shares to Mr. Fong, or his assigns and the Super Majority Voting Rights (described below), Mr. Fong obtained voting rights over the Company’s outstanding voting stock which provides him the right to vote up to 51% of the total voting shares able to vote on any and all shareholder matters.  As a result, Mr. Fong will exercise majority control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of Directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of Mr. Fong may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders.  Additionally, it may be impossible for shareholders to remove Mr. Fong as an officer or Director of the Company due to the Super Majority Voting Rights. The Class C preferred stock provides no other rights to their holder(s) other than voting rights.

 

The Company valued the 1,000 shares of Class B preferred stock at $106,673, based on an estimated control premium determined with reference to a third party study, that may be realized upon the sale of common stock, primarily similar to voting control as of the grant date.

 

Stock options:

 

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by the Board of Directors in July 2004 and which permits the grant of shares to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors and consultants of up to 3,000 shares of common stock. Options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the Company’s market price of its common stock on the date of the grant and vest immediately upon issuance.

 

There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

All options outstanding at December 31, 2014 are fully vested and exercisable. A summary of the outstanding balance at December 31, 2014 is as follows:

On January 31, 2006, FFFC and Chex completed the sale (the “Asset Sale”) for $14 million pursuant to the APA and received net cash proceeds of $12,642,784, after certain transaction related costs and realized a pre-tax book gain of $4,145,835. As a result of the Asset Sale, the Company has no substantial continuing operations. Therefore, the Company is not reporting and accounting for the sale of Chex’s assets as discussed in discontinued operations.

 

Additionally, FFFC and Chex entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) with Game pursuant to which FFFC and Chex agreed to provide certain services to Game to ensure a smooth transition of the sale of the cash-access financial services business.

As of December 31, 2013, Carbon has exchanged the 150,000 shares of common stock for 1,500,000 shares of Class B preferred stock.
