Note 1 Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp. (“Company”), a Florida corporation, was originally organized in May 2004 as a limited liability company under the name of Safety Quick Light, LLC (“SQL-LLC”). The Company was converted to a corporation on November 6, 2012. The Company holds a number of worldwide patents, and has received a variety of final electrical code approvals, including UL-Listing and CSA approval (for the United States and Canadian Markets), and CE (for the European market). The Company maintains an office in Alpharetta, Georgia and in Foshan, Peoples Republic of China with three staff of quality control engineers.

 

The Company’s patented product is a quick-connect, Power-Plug device (that is certified to hold up to 50 pounds) used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. The two-part device consists of a female receptacle which installs into all junction boxes, and a male plug which is pre-installed in the lighting fixtures/ceiling fans. The connection device allows for safe, quick and easy installation of a light fixture and ceiling fan, similar to Plugging-In a table lamp into a wall outlet and eliminating the need to deal with or touch electrical wires.

 

The Company markets consumer friendly, energy saving “Plug-In” ceiling fans and light fixtures under the GE brand as well as ‘conventional’ ceiling lights and fans carrying the GE brand. The Company also owns 98.8% of SQL Lighting & Fans LLC (“Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary was incorporated in Florida on April 27, 2011 and is in the business of manufacturing the patented device that the Company owns. The subsidiary had no activity during the periods presented.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in its sales and earnings.  The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the uncertainty associated with the commercialization and ultimate success of the products, (ii) competition inherent at large national retail chains where products are expected to be sold (iii) general economic conditions and (iv) the related volatility of prices pertaining to the cost of sales.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp and its subsidiary, SQL Lighting & Fans LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

In May 2012, in connection with the sale of the Company’s member units in the Subsidiary, the Company’s ownership percentage decreased from 98.8% to 94.35%. The Company then reacquired these member units in June 2013 increasing the ownership percentage from 94.35% back to 98.8%. During the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and the year-ended December 31, 2014, there was no activity in the Subsidiary. Its pro rata share of the 2014 loss from operations is recognized in the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had $184,694 and $1,241,487 in money market as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

 

The net balance of accounts receivable for three months ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 follows:

 

   March 31, 2015  December 31, 2014
 Accounts Receivable  $1,419,247   $—   
 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   —      —   
 Net Accounts Receivable  $1,419,247   $—   

 

The Company had no sales in 2014. All amounts are deemed collectible at March 31, 2015 and the Company has not incurred any bad debt expense.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company made sales to three customers.  Sales to two of the customers were through the Company's third party sales partner, Design Solutions International.  Design Solutions International made sales on the Company's behalf to two national retailers, amounting to approximately $924,000, or 65% of total sales.  The Company also made sales directly to a national retailer, amounting to approximately $495,000, or 35% of total sales.  These amounts were due at month end March 31, 2015, and have been subsequently collected.

 

Subsequent Events

 

No events occurred subsequent to the financial statement date which Company management deemed significant.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory will consist of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company will periodically review historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.  

 

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no inventory, and accordingly, no allowance for damaged, obsolete or unsaleable inventory.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. The Company determined no impairment adjustment was necessary during the periods ending March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Asset - Patent

 

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15 year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the Patent Office.

 

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

 

GE Trademark Licensing Agreement

 

The Company entered into an agreement with General Electric on June, 2011 allowing the Company to utilize the “GE trademark” on products which meet the stringent manufacturing and quality requirements of General Electric. As described further in note 5 to these financial statements, the Company and General Electric amended that agreement in August 2014. As a result of that amendment, the Company is required to pay a minimum Trademark Licensing Fee (Royalty Obligation) to General Electric of $12,000,000. The repayment schedule is based on a percent of sales, with any unpaid balance due in December, 2018. Under SFAS 142 “Accounting for Certain Intangible Assets” the company has recorded the value of the GE Licensing Agreement and will amortize it over the life of the agreement which is 60 months.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 6.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt.  These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount.  The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Extinguishments of Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with ASC 860-10 (formerly SFAS 140) “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. When the conditions are met for extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

 

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding.  Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – Non Employees

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior.  If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

 Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenues from the sale of a patented device. 

 

Revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) asset is transferred to the customer without further obligation, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and third party manufacturing of the Company’s products.

 

Product sold is typically shipped directly to the customer from the third party manufacturer; costs associated with shipping and handling is shown as a component of cost of sales. 

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option and warrant contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014 the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for the period. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented..

 

The Company has the following common stock equivalents at March 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

   March 31, 2015  March 31, 2014
           
Convertible Debt  (Exercise price - $0.25/share)   18,056,932    8,976,532 
Stock Warrants (Exercise price - $0.001 - $0.375/share)   9,728,984    3,672,134 
Stock Options (Exercise price - $0.375/share)   200,000    666,750 
Unvested Restricted Stock - Chief Executive Officer   750,000    687,500 
Total   28,736,916    14,002,916 

 

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, and consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this Update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20.

 

Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.” The ASU states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Although “major” is not defined, the standard provides examples of when a disposal qualifies as a discontinued operation.

 

The ASU also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure of the pre-tax profit or loss attributable to a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements.

 

The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.

 

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued a converged final standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. This updated guidance provides a framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management has not yet evaluated the future impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In September 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU describes how an entity should assess its ability to meet obligations and sets disclosure requirements for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. The standard provides accounting guidance that will be used with existing auditing standards. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will be examined for the year ended December 31, 2016, and if applicable at that time, will require management to make the appropriate disclosures.

 

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the $2,270,100 convertible debt offering in May 2014, the Company issued 5,390,100 detachable warrants. The notes and warrants were treated as derivative liabilities.

 

On November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 we completed an offering (the “Notes Offering”) of our 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “12% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,240,100 and/or our 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (the “15% Notes”, and together with the 12% Notes, each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), as applicable, with certain “accredited investors” (the “Investors”), as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes of $4,270,100 was outstanding as of March 31, 2015, such amount being exclusive of securities converted into the Notes separate from the Notes Offering. Pursuant to the Notes Offering, the Company received $1,752,803, $1,400,000 and $800,500 in net proceeds on November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, respectively.

 

In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Notes began accruing interest on the date that each Investor submitted the principal balance of such Investor’s Note, with the interest thereon becoming due and payable on the one year anniversary of said date, and quarterly thereafter. Upon a default of the Notes, the interest rate will increase by 2%. The principal balance of each Note and all unpaid interest will become due and payable twenty-four (24) months after the date of issuance. The Notes may be prepaid with or without a penalty depending on the date of the prepayment. The principal and interest under the Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share and are secured by a first priority lien (subject only to an existing note with Signature Bank of Georgia on our intellectual property and all substitutes, replacements and proceeds of such intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of a Security Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, as applicable, by and between us and each Investor (the “Security Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Notes Offering, each Investor also received five (5) year common stock warrants to purchase our common stock at $0.375 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). Investors of the 12% Notes received Warrants with 25% coverage based on a pre-determined valuation of the Company. Investors of the 15% Notes received Warrants with 15% coverage based on the pre-determined valuation of the Company. Investors with a principal investment amount equal to or greater than $250,000 received Warrants with a bonus 40% coverage (“Bonus Coverage”); however, if an Investor previously invested $250,000 or more in the Notes Offering, such Investor received Bonus Coverage if such Investor subsequently invested $100,000 or more in the Notes Offering. In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Warrants may be exercised by the Investors by providing to the Company a notice of exercise, payment and surrender of the Warrant.

 

In connection with the Notes Offering, we entered into Registration Rights Agreements, each dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 and each by and between us and each of the Investors (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreements”) whereby we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) days after execution of the applicable Registration Rights Agreement and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days thereafter.

 

Because we were unable to file a registration statement pursuant to the terms of each Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or June 30, 2014, we were in default under such Registration Rights Agreements (the “Filing Default Damages”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Filing Default Damages mandate that the Company shall pay to the Investors, for each thirty (30) day period of such failure and until the filing date of the registration statement and/or the common stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% percent of the aggregate gross proceeds paid by the Investors for the Notes. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages in full within five (5) days of the date payable, which is the Note maturity date, the Company shall pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Investors, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

 

In addition, because we were unable to have a registration statement declared effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013, we were in default under such Registration Rights Agreements (the “Effectiveness Default Damages”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Effectiveness Default Damages mandated that the interest rate due under the Note corresponding to such Registration Rights Agreement will increase 2% above the then effective interest rate of such Note, and shall continue to increase by 2% every 30 days until a registration statement is declared effective.

 

The Company’s registration statement covering our common stock, into which the Notes may be converted, was first filed on August 1, 2014, and was declared effective by the SEC on October 22, 2014. The Filing Default Damages stopped accruing on the date such registration statement was filed, and the Effectiveness Default Damages stopped accruing on the date it was declared effective.

 

As of August 1, 2014, the date the Company first filed the Registration Statement relating to the Notes and the date that Filing Default Damages stopped accruing, the Filing Default Damages to be paid by the Company to the Investors were $271,733. As of October 22, 2014, the date the Registration Statement was declared effective, the interest rate due under the 12% Notes and 15% Notes dated as of November 26, 2013 was 24% and 27%, respectively, as a consequence of the Effectiveness Default Damages.

 

On December 11, 2014, the Company sent a letter to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 (the “2013 Investors”) concerning the first interest payment that was scheduled to be paid pursuant to the Notes dated November 26, 2013 on the one year anniversary of the date that each 2013 Investor submitted payment for their Note (the “First Interest Payments”). The Company noted the significant progress it had made in 2014, and expressed its preference to conserve working capital to support operations and customer orders. The Company invited the 2013 Investors to convert the First Interest Payments into shares of the Company’s common stock to further this purpose. The Company also asked each 2013 Investor to execute an Agreement and Waiver (the “Agreement and Waiver”), which granted the Company a grace period, deferring the Company’s obligation to make payment of the First Interest Payment and interest that was due under the Note through November 26, 2014 (the “Interest Due”) until February 24, 2015 (the “Extension”), during which time such deferment would not be considered an Event of Default under the 2013 Investor’s Note. In connection with the Extension, subsequent quarterly payments of interest will be determined based on the issuance date of each Note (i.e., November 26, 2013) rather than the date that each 2013 Investor first submitted payment for their Note, the sole purpose and impact of this change being to reduce ongoing costs to administer the Notes. In return for granting the Extension, we offered to capitalize the Interest Due at a rate of 12% (the “Additional Interest”), which was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $0.25 per share as of February 24, 2014, unless the 2013 Investor requested to receive the Additional Interest in cash 15 days prior to the end of the Extension.

 

On January 23, 2015, the Company sent a letter agreement to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 and May 8, 2014, which constituted all Investors with Filing Default Damages or Effectiveness Default Damages due to them pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or June 30, 2014 (the “Agreement to Convert”). The Company invited the Investors, as applicable, to elect to convert the Interest Due and/or the Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, and asked each Investor, as applicable, to make such election by acknowledging and returning the Agreement to Convert to the Company.

 

We issued 1,601,243 shares representing $400,311 in penalties and interest in connection with the above Agreement and Waiver and the Agreement to Convert during the three-months ended March 31, 2015.

 

(B) Terms of Debt

 

The debt carries interest between 12% and 15% and is due in November 2015, May 2016 and June 2016.

 

All convertible debt and related warrants issued with the convertible notes are convertible at $0.25 and $0.375/share, respectively; however, given the existence of a “ratchet feature”, which allows for a lower offering price if the Company offers shares to the public at a lower price.

 

(C) Future Commitments

 

At March 31, 2015 the Company has outstanding debt of $2,344,090.

 

Future minimum repayment obligations are as follows:

 

Year Ended December 31   
2015  $2,348,290 
2016   2,544,357 
 Less: unamortized debt discount   (2,038,838)
 Less: current maturities   (1,617,666)
 Debt - long term  $1,237,144 

 

Note 7 Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and warrants issued in 2013. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

 

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the ratchet feature related to convertible debt and warrants is summarized as follow: 

 

   March 31, 2015  December 31, 2014
           
Fair value at the commitment date - convertible debt  $4,892,234   $4,892,234 
Fair value at the commitment date - warrants   677,214    677,214 
Reclassification of derivative liabilities to additional paid in capital related to warrants exercised that ceased being a  derivative liability   (214,769)   (214,769)
Fair value mark to market adjustment - stock options   (16,440)   (25,614)
Fair value mark to market adjustment - convertible debt   (937,476)   (668,189)
Fair value mark to market adjustment - warrants   (16,744)   (13,701)
Totals  $4,379,432   $4,647,175 

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of M:

 

   Commitment Date  Remeasurement Date
           
 Expected dividends   0%   0%
 Expected volatility   150%   150%
 Expected term    2 - 5 years      0.9 - 3.91 years  
 Risk free interest rate    0.29% - 1.68%      0.67% - 1.65%  

 

Note 8 Debt Discount

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining fair value of the derivative liability, as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.  

 

The Company recorded a derivative expense of $272,292 and $89,779 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company recorded amortization of derivative discount expense of $536,401 as of March 31, 2015 and $1,507,107 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Note 9 Debt Issue Costs

 

Debt issue costs - net - December 31, 2013  $235,211 
Debt issue cost additions   69,600 
Accumulated expense   (154,851)
 Debt issue costs - December 31, 2014   161,946 
Accumulated expense   (38,612)
 Debt issue costs - net -March 31, 2015  $123,334 

  

Note 10 GE Royalty Obligation

 

In 2011, the Company executed a Trademark Licensing Agreement with General Electric (“GE”), which allows the Company the right to market certain ceiling light and fan fixtures displaying the GE brand. The GE trademark license agreement imposes certain manufacturing and quality control conditions that the Company must maintain in order to continue to use the GE brand.

 

The license is non-transferable and cannot be sub licensed. Various termination clauses are applicable, however, none were applicable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

In August, 2014, the Company entered into a second amendment pertaining to its royalty obligations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a total of $12,000,000 by November 2018 for the rights assigned in the original contract. In case the Company does not pay GE a total of at least $12,000,000 in cumulative royalties over the Term, the difference between $12,000,000 and the amount of royalties paid to GE is owed in December, 2018.

 

Payments are due quarterly based upon the prior quarters’ sales. During the period ended the Company made $75,130 in payments under the agreement the terms of this agreement.

 

The Trademark and License obligation will be paid from sales of GE branded product subject to the following repayment:

 

Net Sales in Contract Year

  Percentage of the Contract Year Net Sales owed to GE
        
 $0 - $50,000,000    7%
 $50,000,001 - $100,000,000    6%
$100,000,001+    5%

 

Since the Company does not have the ability to estimate the sales of GE branded product, the liability is classified as long-term. As sales are recognized, the Company will estimate the portion it expects to pay in the current year and classify as current.

(B) Employment Agreement – Chief Executive Officer

 

In November 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its new Chief Executive Officer. In addition to salary, the agreement provided for the issuance of 750,000 restricted shares to him, vesting as follows: 250,000 after the first 6 months of employment and 500,000 additional shares at December 31, 2015. Under terms of the agreement the executive would receive additional compensation in the form of stock options to purchase shares of Company stock equal to one half of one percent (.005) of quarterly net income. The strike price of the options will be established at the time of the grant. The options will vest in twelve months and expire after sixty months. In addition to the stock options compensation, the executive has performance incentives tied to revenue and profits. As there were no revenues or profit for years ending December 31, 2014 or 2013, no additional options were issued or profit sharing compensation was provided to the Chief Executive Officer.

 

The company cancelled a 2013 agreement with previous CEO in November 2014. That agreement was cancelled upon the Company executing a Mutual Release and Waiver agreement (Termination Agreement) with the CEO dated November, 2014. The Termination Agreement allowed for immediate vesting of 750,000 shares of the original 1,250,000 unvested shares previously granted to the CEO.

Note 13 Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,543,415 and net cash used in operations of $1,423,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2015; and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $6,186,587 and $5,850,064 respectively, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including convertible debt and/or other term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives.  The Company’s currently available cash along with anticipated revenues may not be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future.  There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview

 

We are a company engaged in the business of developing proprietary technology that enables a quick and safe installation by the use of a power plug for electrical fixtures, such as light fixtures and ceiling fans, into ceiling and wall electrical junction boxes. Our main technology consists of a fixable socket and a revolvable plug for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket is comprised of a non-conductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior. The plug, also comprised of a non-conductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and is capable of feeding electric power to an appliance. The plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve and a releasable latching which, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the plug can be installed in light fixtures, ceiling fans and wall sconce fixtures. The combined socket and plug technology is referred to as the “SQL Technology” throughout this Quarterly Report.

 

Safety Quick Light LLC began marketing the SQL Technology in 2007 for installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans during manufacturing and as a kit for installing the SQL Technology in existing light fixtures and ceiling fans. Our management team determined that it could improve its gross margins if it were to market light fixtures and ceiling fans with its plug technology already installed on fixtures (the “New Business Model”) instead of marketing the SQL Technology as an add-on device.

 

Company management then took the next step in furtherance of its New Business Model and sought the endorsement of the SQL Technology from General Electric Corporation (“GE”). In June 2011, GE and SQL Lighting & Fans, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a trademark licensing agreement (the “License Agreement”) under which SQL Lighting & Fans, LLC was licensed to use the GE monogram logo on its devices and certain other trademarks on its ceiling fans and light fixtures through December 31, 2018. The License Agreement requires the Company to pay a percent of revenue generated on our products using the GE monogram logo as a license fee, including a minimum license fee payment during the term. The License Agreement enables the Company to market ceiling fans and light fixtures with and without the SQL Technology using the GE logo. The License Agreement imposes certain manufacturing and quality control conditions that we must maintain. In addition to marketing ceiling fans and light fixtures under the GE logo and trademarks, the Company has the right to offer private label ceiling fans and light fixtures with the SQL Technology installed to retailers that market private label products. We amended the License Agreement in April 2013, and again in August 2014, to allow us more flexibility and to recognize the delay in approval of our manufacturing facilities. In return for these amendments, the Company agreed to pay a minimum total of $12,000,000 in licensing fees, which will be due in December 2018.

 

In July 2012, the Company entered into a sales and marketing agreement with Design Solutions International, Inc. (“DSI”), a privately held, lighting industry design and marketing firm whose existing customer base includes major retailers throughout North America.  DSI’s management boasts an average of 25-years’ experience in the lighting industry, and provides to the Company sales and marketing support in North America and sourcing and production management support in China.  In addition to DSI’s sales and marketing support, the Company’s products will also be sold through GE’s lighting sales group as a condition of the License Agreement.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded its first sales under its New Business Model, which recognized a gross margin of 12.6%. Some of these sales were made through our third party sales organization, and thus we incurred contractually agreed upon sales commissions. Selling expenses and licensing fee debt payments amounted to approximately $227,000 of sales. These sales represent initial introductory orders, and the Company anticipates follow-on orders to these customers with follow-on sales at greater gross margins.

Revenue

We had recorded revenue of $1,419,217 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to revenue of $0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase is attributable to sales of GE branded ceiling fan products under the New Business Model to two large retailers. These sales were initial orders with the expectation of follow on orders. These sales did not include the SQL Technology.

 

Cost of Sales

We had a cost of sales of $1,239,728 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to a cost of sales of $0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase in cost of sales was associated with the New Business Model, and the sales of GE branded ceiling fans.

 

Gross Profit

We had gross profit of $179,488 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to gross profit of $0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. The gross profit as a percent of sales was 12.6% and represents the initial orders to these customers. We believe there are opportunities to improve gross profit as a percent of sales on future orders.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense increased $869,647 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 to $1,247,373 from $377,726 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

 

The increases in the general and administrative expenses were due to the following significant items:

 

·$602,000 increase in the amount recorded for the amortization of the License Agreement.
·$99,000 increase in consulting expenses associated with activities as a public company.
·$128,000 increase on commissions associated with sales.
·$57,000 increase in accounting expenses driven by additional requirements for a public company.
·$18,000 increase in China operational expenses as the Company went through the GE approval process.
·$25,000 increase in marketing expenses as associated with the SQL Technology.

 

Further, decreases in certain items of general and administrative expenses were attributable to the following:

 

·$46,000 decrease in legal fees due to activity associated with prior years Notes Offering.
·$13,000 decrease in rent associated with new office space and sublet of previous space.
·$13,000 decrease in salaries due to change in CEO compensation.

 

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations represents the change in general and administrative expenses offset by the gross profit on sales for the periods presented.

 

Other Income (Expense)

Total other expenses increased $201,104 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 to $475,530, from $274,462 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

 

The increase in other expense is due to the following significant items:

 

·Increase of $400,000 in interest expense reflecting the addition of the May 2014 and June 2014 Notes Offering.
·Decrease of $183,000 in derivative expense associated with the Notes.

 

Net Loss and Net Loss per Share

The Company’s net loss and net loss per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 was approximately ($1,543,000) and ($0.05) per share, respectively, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, where net loss was approximately ($652,000) and ($0.02) per share, respectively. Inflation did not have a material impact on operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs and continues to operate with negative cash flow, which may require it to seek additional capital to maintain current operations. In addition, if sufficient sales growth is achieved, the Company may be required to enter into financing arrangements to fund its working capital needs. The Company currently has no such financing commitments in place.

 

For the three-months ended March 31, 2015 the Company used $1,423,976 in cash for operations as compared with $345,063 used for the same period in 2014. The Company’s $1,078,913 decrease in cash from operations was due to the $891,263 increased operating loss, $1,419,000 in accounts receivable associated with sales, payment of $75,000 to GE on the reduction of debt associated with the License Agreement, and a $183,200 decrease in derivatives liability. This was partially offset by a $602,000 increase in amortization of the License Agreement, an increase of $610,000 in accounts payable, and $274,000 in amortization of debt discount.

 

For the three-months ended March 31, 2015, the Company used $7,446 in cash for investing activities as compared with $116,760 for the same period in 2014. The reduction was primarily driven by a $108,000 acquisition of equipment in China during 2014.

 

For the three-months ended March 31, 2015, the Company provided $374,629 in cash from financing activities as compared to a use of $29,553 for the same period in 2014. The increase in cash provided was due to $400,000 in interest paid in common stock, less amounts to pay down term debt.

 

As a result of the above operating, investing and financing activities, the Company used $1,056,793 in cash equivalents for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 as compared with $491,376 for the same period in the previous year.

 

The Company had a working capital deficit of $6,186,587 for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and $5,850,064 at December 31, 2014. The change is attributable to an accounts receivable offset by accounts payable and derivative liability.

 

During 2014, the Company executed a second amendment to the License Agreement. Under the terms of this amendment, the Company agreed to pay GE a total of $12,000,000 by November, 2018 for the rights associated with the GE brand. The amount will be paid from a percentage of sales in accordance with a schedule with the residual balance, if any, due in 2018. Given the Company’s lack of sales history associated with the License Agreement, the entire balance has been classified as long-term.

 

The Company had no inventory on its balance sheet at March 31, 2015. Company management anticipates minimal, if any inventory of its SQL Technology and ceiling and fan fixtures. Production of the SQL Technology and fixtures will be originated upon receipt of FOB (free on board) purchase contracts from customers. Upon the completion of each purchase contract, the finished products will be transported from the manufacturer directly to the ports and loaded on vessels secured by the customer, upon which the products become the property of the customer. The Company anticipates a need to stock inventory for its customers’ e-commerce sales activity. As such, it will be required to stock inventory beginning in mid-2015, as needed to support these activities. The Company anticipates the need for a financing facility to support accounts receivable and, potentially, inventory as the need arises. The Company does not currently have such a facility in place and there is no assurance that such a facility can be secured when needed.

 

The Company’s cash balance as of March 31, 2015 was $184,694. In light of the Company’s projected working capital needs, it may need to seek additional capital, which may dilute existing shareholders. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or be successful in the execution of its plans.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company made sales to three customers.  Sales to two of the customers were through the Company's third party sales partner, Design Solutions International.  Design Solutions International made sales on the Company's behalf to two national retailers, amounting to approximately $924,000, or 65% of total sales.  The Company also made sales directly to a national retailer, amounting to approximately $495,000, or 35% of total sales.  These amounts were due at month end March 31, 2015, and have been subsequently collected.

 

Subsequent Events

 

No events occurred subsequent to the financial statement date which Company management deemed significant.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For a discussion of our accounting policies and related items, please see the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1.

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this Update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20.

 

Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.” The ASU states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Although “major” is not defined, the standard provides examples of when a disposal qualifies as a discontinued operation.

 

The ASU also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure of the pre-tax profit or loss attributable to a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements.

 

The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.

 

In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued a converged final standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. This updated guidance provides a framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management has not yet evaluated the future impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In September 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU describes how an entity should assess its ability to meet obligations and sets disclosure requirements for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. The standard provides accounting guidance that will be used with existing auditing standards. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will be examined for the year ended December 31, 2016, and if applicable at that time, will require management to make the appropriate disclosures.

 

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Asset - Patent

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15 year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

·Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
 
·Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
 
·Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Income Tax Provision

From the inception of the Company and through November 6, 2012, the Company was taxed as a pass-through entity (a limited liability company) under the Internal Revenue Code and was not subject to federal and state income taxes; accordingly, no provision had been made.

 

The financial statements reflect the Company’s transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes for the period from November 7, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The net loss generated by the Company for the period January 1, 2012 to November 6, 2012 has been excluded from the computation of income taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty (50) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2012 through 2014.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

 

Related Parties

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

 The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Item 3. Quantitative & Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

 

Not applicable.

  

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2015 (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also serving as our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC’s”) rules and forms and that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings.

  

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

  

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 we concluded closings of the offering of our 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “12% Notes”) and/or our 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “15% Notes”, and together with the 12% Notes, each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), as applicable, with certain “accredited investors” (the “Investors”), as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Notes Offering”). The entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes of $4,270,100 was outstanding as of May 1, 2015, such amount being exclusive of securities converted into the Notes separate from the Notes Offering.

 

Interest under the Notes is due and payable on the one year anniversary of the date funds were submitted, and quarterly thereafter, with the principal balance of each Note and all unpaid interest thereon due and payable twenty-four (24) months after the date of issuance. The principal and interest under the Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share. Each Investor also received five (5) year common stock warrants to purchase our common stock at $0.375 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”).

 

In connection with the Notes Offering, we entered into Registration Rights Agreements, each dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 and each by and between us and each of the Investors (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreements”) whereby we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) days after execution of the applicable Registration Rights Agreement and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days thereafter (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement covered shares of our common stock, including shares of our common stock underlying the Notes, Warrants and certain other options and warrants. The Company’s Registration Statement was first filed on August 1, 2014, and was declared effective by the SEC on October 22, 2014.

 

The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Notes, Warrants and Registration Rights Agreements, each of which is more fully detailed in and filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder; such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

 

Because we were unable to file a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of each Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or May 8, 2014, we were in default under such Registration Rights Agreements (the “Filing Default Damages”). In addition, because we were unable to have a Registration Statement declared effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 and May 8, 2014, we were in default under such Registration Rights Agreements (the “Effectiveness Default Damages”). The Filing Default Damages stopped accruing on the date the Registration Statement was filed, and the Effectiveness Default Damages stopped accruing on the date it was declared effective.

 

On December 11, 2014, the Company sent a letter to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 (the “2013 Investors”) concerning the first interest payment that was scheduled to be paid pursuant to the Notes dated November 26, 2013 (the “First Interest Payments”). The Company expressed its preference to conserve working capital to support operations and customer orders, and invited the 2013 Investors to convert the First Interest Payments into shares of the Company’s common stock to further this purpose. The Company also asked each 2013 Investor to execute an Agreement and Waiver (the “Agreement and Waiver”), which granted the Company a grace period, deferring the Company’s obligation to make payment of the First Interest Payment and interest that was due under the Note through November 26, 2014 (the “Interest Due”) until February 24, 2015 (the “Extension”), during which time such deferment would not be considered an Event of Default under the 2013 Investor’s Note. In connection with the Extension, subsequent quarterly payments of interest will be determined based on the issuance date of each Note rather than the date that each 2013 Investor first submitted payment for their Note, the sole purpose and impact of this change being to reduce ongoing costs to administer the Notes. In return for granting the Extension, we offered to capitalize the Interest Due at a rate of 12% (the “Additional Interest”), which was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $0.25 per share as of February 24, 2014, unless the 2013 Investor requested to receive the Additional Interest in cash fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the Extension.

 

On January 23, 2015, the Company sent a letter agreement to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 and May 8, 2014, which constituted all Investors with Filing Default Damages or Effectiveness Default Damages due to them pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or June 30, 2014 (the “Agreement to Convert”). The Company invited the Investors, as applicable, to elect to convert the Interest Due and/or the Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, and asked each Investor, as applicable, to make such election by acknowledging and returning the Agreement to Convert to the Company.

 

As of May 12, 2015, twenty-five (25) 2013 Investors returned a signed Agreement and Waiver to the Company, resulting in Additional Interest of $7,470, and only one (1) 2013 Investor elected to receive the Additional Interest in cash rather than the Company’s common stock. In addition, twenty-three (23) Investors returned an Agreement to Convert electing to convert the Interest Due, the Filing Default Damages and the Effectiveness Default Damages, as applicable, into shares of the Company’s common stock. As of May 12, 2015, the Company issued 1,718,585 shares of its common stock to accepting Investors in exchange for the Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages, as applicable.

 

The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Agreement and Waiver and the Agreement to Convert, each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder; such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

 

Net proceeds from the Notes Offering were used for the Company’s general working capital. Additional information concerning the use of proceeds from the Notes Offering can be found in the subsection titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” found in Part I, Item 2 above, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 4.
