Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Organization

 

We were incorporated on June 5, 2008, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name Sharp Performance Inc. From inception until September 2013, our business focus was on the provision of consulting services to the American automotive industry. On October 24, 2013, we changed our name to Harrison, Vickers & Waterman Inc. in conjunction with the change in our business focus. In connection with our shift to a new business focus on August 18, 2015, we filed a Definitive Information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to change our name to Attitude Beer, Inc., and we expect to file the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the name change in the latter part of 2015.

 

Change in Business Model

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Attitude Beer Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“ABH”), we are an owner of a 51% interest in a World of Beer franchise tavern and restaurant located in West Hartford Connecticut. In December 2014, ABH entered into a joint venture (the “JV”) with New England World of Beer (“NEWOB”) and together opened a 4,000 sq. foot tavern in West Hartford, Connecticut (“West Hartford WOB”) that sells a selection of over 500 craft and imported beers along with tavern food and other spirits and cocktails. New England World of Beer holds franchise rights for all of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Similar taverns are currently open in 20 states, namely AL, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, LA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA and WI. Our joint venture partner, NEWOB, operates and manages this location. NEWOB acquired exclusive rights from World of Beer Franchising Inc to develop World of Beer franchise taverns and restaurants in the State of Connecticut and the greater Boston area. Through our agreement with NEWOB, we have the right, but are not obligated, to participate in the development of new franchises. As NEWOB has franchise rights with the World of Beer Franchising, Inc. in Tampa, Florida (“franchisor”), we expect to develop other franchise locations in these exclusive territories.

 

In April 2015, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with the three original shareholders of ABH, namely, Attitude Drinks Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Attitude Drinks”), Alpha Capital Anstalt, a company organized under the laws of Liechtenstein (“Alpha”) and Tarpon Bay Partners LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tarpon Bay”), pursuant to which the shareholders sold to us all of the outstanding shares of stock of ABH, and ABH thereupon became our wholly owned subsidiary. In consideration for the purchase of the shares of common stock of ABH, we issued: (i) to Attitude Drinks, 51 shares of our newly created Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a seven year warrant (the “B Warrant”) to purchase 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.075 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments); (ii) to Alpha, a secured convertible note due April 20, 2017 (the “Secured Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $1,619,375 a seven year warrant (the “Alpha Warrant”), to purchase 1,295,500,500, shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and an additional investment right (“AIR”) to purchase up to $3,750,000 in additional notes (the “AIR Note”) and corresponding warrants (“the “AIR Warrant”); and (iii) to Tarpon, a Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $554,792, a seven year warrant (the “Tarpon Warrant”) to purchase 443,833,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and an AIR to purchase up to $1,250,000 in additional notes and corresponding AIR Warrants.  In addition, Alpha acquired 32,300 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 32,300,000 shares of Common Stock) from HVW Holdings LLC “HVW”, an entity of which Mr. James Giordano, our prior Chief Executive Officer and prior Chairman of the Board, was the managing member, subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”). Attitude Drinks purchased 87,990,000 shares of Common Stock from HVW Holdings LLC at a price of $65,000, subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”).

 

References in this Report to “company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the business of Harrison Vickers and Waterman, Inc. and our subsidiaries.

 

In September 2013, we shifted our focus to the commercial real estate industry and on September 6, 2013, we purchased from Harrison Vickers and Waterman LLC (“LLC”) certain real estate loans. As of September 30, 2015, we no\longer own any real estate loans, and therefore commercial loans will no longer be part of our future business. Our main segment of business will be the development and operations of World of Beer franchise locations.

(b) Basis of Presentation/Going Concern

 

The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application.  Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and notes thereto contained in the information filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 15, 2015.

 

The Company elected June 30th as its fiscal year end date upon its formation.

 

(c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).

 

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimate(s) and assumption(s) affecting the financial statements were:

 

(i)Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

(ii)Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the fact that the Company has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

 

(iii)Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of derivative liability and equity instruments: Management estimates the expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value derivative liabilities, share options and similar instruments.

 

Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 “Consolidation” of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated except (1) when control does not rest with the parent, the majority owner; (2) if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940, and control is likely to be temporary; (3) consolidation by an investment company within the scope of Topic 946 of a non-investment-company investee. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation.  The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree. The Company consolidates all less-than-majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.

 

The Company's consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:

 

Name of consolidated subsidiary
or entity
  State or other jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization
  Date of incorporation or
formation (date of acquisition, if
applicable)
  Attributable
interest
 
Attitude Beer Holding Co.  The State of Delaware  April 21, 2015 (acquisition date)   100%
West Hartford WOB LLC  The State of Florida  April 21, 2015 (acquisition date0   51%

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Attitude Beer Holding Co. Attitude Beer Holding Co. also owns 51% of the World of Beer location in West Hartford, Connecticut which is also consolidated into the overall results. .All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated, and minority interest eliminations and consolidation adjustments have been made.

 

(d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, real estate loans receivable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

 

Level 3 Financial Liabilities – Derivative Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative warrant liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liability.

 

8

 

 

(e) Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

(f) Derivative Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the Codification and Paragraph 815-40-25 of the Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date, and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

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. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

(g) 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 (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); 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 consolidated 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.

 

(h) Commitment and 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 un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

9

 

 

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 consolidated 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.

 

(i) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

(j) Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax Provision

 

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 consolidated 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 fiscal 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 fiscal 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 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”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes.  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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) 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.

 

(k) Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions

 

The Company discloses tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions pursuant to the ASC Paragraph 740-10-50-15.

 

(l) Earnings per Share

 

Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share.  EPS is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16 Basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period.  Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.

 

10

 

 

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder.  The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied. Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS.   Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

 

There were 2,927,138,478 potentially outstanding dilutive common shares for the reporting period ended September 30, 2015.

 

(m) Cash Flows Reporting

 

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.  The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

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

 

(o) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

1.Identify the contract(s) with the customer
2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligations

 

The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:

 

11

 

 

1.       Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations)

 

2.       Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time) and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations

 

3.       Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

 

ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early application is not permitted.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance for the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no impact on the Company through the adoption of this update as the Company has always provided such required disclosures on doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of completion of the audit.

 

In November, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance about derivatives and hedging and determining whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. There are predominantly two methods used in current practice by issuers and investors in evaluating whether the nature of the host contract within a hybrid instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. This ASU is to eliminate the use of different methods in practice. As the Company utilizes the services of an outside professional specialty firm for such valuations, the Company believes there is no change needed for this update.

 

In February, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance about Consolidation (Topic 810) and amendments to the consolidation analysis. These provisions provide amendments to limited partnerships and similar legal entities. As ABH owns the 51% majority of the World of Beer location in West Hartford which is an LLC corporation, the Company believes there is no change needed for this update.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

The Company has elected to adopt early application of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations.  While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering, there can be no assurances to that effect.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3- Receivable from Attitude Drinks Incorporated

 

Attitude Drinks Incorporated is the majority owner of the Company.  Occasionally, cash is forwarded to and from the entities, and a receivable/payable balance is established. As of the report date, the Company had a receivable of $231,157 that is due from Attitude Drinks Incorporated.

Note 4 – Real Estate Loans Receivable and Related Promissory Note Payable

 

Effective September 6, 2013 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Harrison Vickers and Waterman, LLC (“Harrison Vickers”).  Pursuant to the Agreement the Company agreed to purchase from Harrison Vickers certain assets held by Harrison Vickers in the form of real estate loans (the “Loans”).  The purchase price was paid by the Company via the issuance of a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,800,000 (the “Note”) due March 31, 2015.

 

Four loans, $1,800,000 in aggregate, were purchased with one loan of $180,000 being collected during the interim period ending December 31, 2013.  The remaining three loans of $520,000, $550,000 and $550,000 were issued on April 2, 2013, May 15, 2013 and July 15, 2013, respectively. They all bear interest at 12% per annum and are due one year from the date of issuance. The loans are secured by a first lien.

 

The Note is secured by a Pledge Agreement whereby the proceeds of the Loans are pledged as security for the repayment of the Note. During the interim period ended December 31, 2013, the Company received payment on and paid down $330,000 of the Loans. The $550,000 loan was reduced to $400,000 during the year ended June 30, 2014 with a corresponding reduction in the promissory note payable. The balance of $400,000 is being disputed by the property owner, but the Company is fully insured by Title Insurance for this amount.

 

On February 10, 2015, the note for $520,000 was fully repaid. On September 30, 2015, the Company entered into a satisfaction and release agreement with Harrison, Vickers and Waterman LLC whereas the Company returned to the LLC the assets that were previously acquired from the LLC in full payment of all obligations owed by the Company to the LLC. As such, both the remaining $950,000 receivable and note payable balances are removed from the Company’s records.

Note 8 - Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the increase in the consideration paid over the fair value of the assets being acquired by the Company on the acquisition date as set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 350 Intangibles- Goodwill and Other and ASC 850 Subsequent Accounting and Disclosure for Goodwill.   In order to fairly value the enterprise, the following assumptions were made for a base case:

 

a.   The Company would open another three World of Beer franchises, one in late 2015, and the other two would open prior to April 1, 2016;

 

b.   Operating results would be predicated on 80% of the existing World of Beer location in West Hartford, Connecticut;

 

c.   Discounted cash flow model through 2022 was used;

 

d.   15% discount rate was used.

 

After the base case was quantified, various scenarios using 20% required rate of returns and 75% of operating results were quantified.

 

After equal weighting of all these scenarios, it was determined that goodwill was worth $4,038,945 as follows:

 

Value of enterprise  $4,841,801 
Add: Negative net equity of company   20,764 
Intercompany eliminations   20,665

Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s convertible debentures. The Company’s convertible debentures issued to institutional investors are hybrid instruments which contain an embedded derivative feature which would individually warrant separate accounting as a derivative instrument under Paragraph 815-10-05-4.  The embedded derivative feature includes the conversion feature attached to certain Notes. Pursuant to Paragraph 815-10-05-4, the value of the embedded derivative liability has been bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability resulting in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the notes, which are amortized as debt discount to be presented in other (income) expenses in the statements of operations using the effective interest method over the life of the notes.

 

The compound embedded derivatives within the notes have been valued using a layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow approach, recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and marked-to-market at each reporting period end date with changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s statements of operations as “change in the fair value of derivative instrument”.

Upon formation, the total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company is authorized to issue is Seventy Five Million (75,000,000) shares of which One Million (1,000,000) shares are Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and Seventy Four Million (74,000,000) shares are Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

 

On October 24, 2013 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to amend its Articles of Incorporation (the “Actions”) to: (i) change the name of the Company to Harrison, Vickers & Waterman Inc.; (ii) increase the number of shares of authorized common stock of the Corporation from 74,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 shares; and (iii) effectuate a forward stock split of our common stock at a ratio determined by our Board of Directors of 324.5 for 1.

 

All shares and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Stock Split and the change in authorized stock.

On August 8, 2015, the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement whereas stockholders’ approval was received to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 2,000,000,000 shares to 7,500,000,000 shares as well as to change the name to Attitude Beer, Inc. We will file the necessary amendment with the state of Nevada in 2015 to effectuate these changes but until then, we are reflecting the increase in authorized shares on the financial statements.

 

Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On September 17, 2013 the Company filed the Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada (the “Certificate of Designation”) authorizing 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and obligations thereof.

 

As set forth in the Certificate of Designation, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore, and the Company is obligated to accrue, quarterly in arrears on March 31, September 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at the rate per share equal to eight percent (8%) per annum on the Stated Value, payable in common stock valued at the closing trade price per share on the last trading day of the calendar quarter. Through the Balance sheet date, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have waived all dividends.  There is no guarantee they will do so going forward. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock does not have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, either by written consent or by proxy. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company does not have the right to, and cannot cause its subsidiaries not to, without the affirmative vote of the Requisite Holders, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to affect adversely any rights of any Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, (d) increase the authorized or designated number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (e) issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including the reissuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted for Common Stock) or (f) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock. For a period of 24 months from the Issuance Date, if the Company issues shares of common stock (or securities, including any derivative securities, containing the right to purchase, exercise or convert into shares of common stock) (the “Dilution Shares”) such that the outstanding number of shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis is greater than 214,000,000 shares (inclusive of conversions of Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Ratio immediately above), then the Conversion Ratio for the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding and unconverted as of the date the Dilution Shares are issued shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Ratio multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis after the issuance of the Dilution Shares, and the denominator shall be 214,000,000. The Company cannot effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Effective September 6, 2013 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “HVW Agreement”) with HVW Holdings LLC (“HVW”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to HVW an aggregate 32,300 shares of its Series A, 8% Convertible Preferred Stock which pursuant to the terms thereof will be convertible into 32,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The consideration under the HVW Agreement was certain services to be rendered by HVW to the Company pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) entered into between the Company and HVW on September 6, 2013. HVW sold these 32,300 shares to another investor on April 21, 2015.

 

In addition, the Company issued 46,500 shares of its Series A, 8% Convertible Preferred Stock to its former president, Robert Sharp and 16,200 shares to an investor.  Robert Sharp sold 36,500 of these shares to two other investors on April 21, 2015

 

The 95,000 shares issued of the A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock were valued at $425,000 in aggregate, $208,206, $144,500 and $72,474 of which were booked as compensation – officer, management fees and consulting fees, respectively.

 

18

 

 

On November 4, 2013, the owners of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock agreed that the conversion ratio, as defined in the Certificate of Designation, shall not change in the event of forward-split or reverse-split for a period of nine months from issuance.

 

On April 21, 2015, we issued 5,000 new shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to another investor.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On April 21, 2015, the Company issued 51 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Attitude Drinks Incorporated.  At the time, the Company accounted for approximately $1,000,000 in additional paid in capital due to its issuance.  .

 

Common Stock

 

Effective September 6, 2013 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “HVW Agreement”) with HVW Holdings LLC (“HVW”).  Pursuant to the Agreement the Company agreed to sell to HVW an aggregate of 308,166 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The consideration under the HVW Agreement was certain services to be rendered by HVW to the Company pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) entered into between the Company and HVW on September 6, 2013. Some of the material terms of the HVW Agreement include: (i) that Robert J. Sharp, the Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of the Company retire 4,961,500 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Sharp, and the Company will appoint up to three persons nominated by HVW to the board of directors of the Company to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company.

 

The common stock issued was valued at its fair market value of $1,379.

 

On September 10, 2013, 649,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were returned without consideration. The transaction was recorded at the Company’s par value.

 

On April 21, 2015, Attitude Drinks Incorporated purchased 87,990,000 shares of Common Stock from HVW Holdings LLC at a price of $65,000, making this company the majority owner of the Company’s common stock.

 

Common Stock Warrants

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a total of 1,832,299,733 warrants which includes the issuance of 64,000 new warrants on July 29, 2015.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

On October 24, 2013, the Company created the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan.”) The aggregate number of shares of Common stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed five million (5,000,000) shares.

 

On August 8, 2015, the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement whereas stockholders’ approval was received to approve the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan whereas an aggregate of 600,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under this Plan.

 

No shares have been issued under any plan as of September 30, 2015.

The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

 

This discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations. All statements regarding future events, our future financial performance and operating results, our business strategy and our financing plans are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause our actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 and in this report.

 

General

 

Our Company

 

Since September 2013 until recently, we were primarily engaged in the business of making commercial secured real estate loans. Our business model until the ABH acquisition was solely focused upon making commercial secured real estate loans under advantageous and risk adverse terms. We no longer will be involved in the commercial secured real estate loans as we will devote our total efforts in the development and operations of World of Beer franchises.

 

On April 21, 2015, we commenced operations in a new line of business, the ownership of World of Beer taverns that serve craft and imported beer along with food and other spirits. ABH currently owns in a joint venture, an interest in one World of Beer tavern located in West Hartford, Connecticut and just started construction of a second World of Beer Tavern in Milford, Connecticut and just signed a lease agreement to build a World of Beer in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ABH also has a two year option to own 51% of the World of Beer franchise in Stamford, Connecticut which has not been exercised. World of Beer began as a neighborhood tavern and has grown to close to 80 locations in 20 states.

 

In December 2014, ABH entered into a joint venture with New England World of Beer and together opened a 4,000 sq. foot tavern in West Hartford, Connecticut that sells a selection of over 500 craft and imported beers along with tavern food and other spirits and cocktails. New England World of Beer holds franchise rights for all of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Similar taverns are currently open in 20 states, namely AL, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, LA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA and WI.

 

History and Other Information

 

We were incorporated on June 5, 2008, under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name of Sharp Performance Inc. From inception until September 2013, our business focus was on the provision of consulting services to the American automobile industry. On October 24, 2013, we changed our name to Harrison, Vickers and Waterman Inc. in conjunction with the change in our business focus. As we have now changed our business only to the development and operations of World of Beer franchises, we recently filed a Definitive Statement to change our name to Attitude Beer, Inc. which we expect to file the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the name change in the latter part of 2015.

 

Our mailing address is 11231 U.S. Highway 1, #201, North Palm Beach, FL 33408. Our telephone number is (561) 227-2727. Our fiscal year end is June 30 th.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We are continuing to seek other sources of financing to develop our business plan, implement our sales and marketing plan and to meet other operational expense requirements and to find and develop new World of Beer locations. Historically, we have had to rely on convertible debt financings to cover operating costs. Based on the available cash, we have no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding to sustain our operations. If we do not obtain additional funding, we may need to cease operations until we do so and, in that event, may consider a sale of our interest in the World of Beer locations if we do not continue to obtain the proper financing for our needs. However, certain of our convertible debt obligations for $2,371,545 are secured by our assets. Failure to fulfill our obligations under these notes and related agreements could lead to the loss of these assets, which would be detrimental to our operations.

 

We will consider equity and/or convertible debt financings, either or both of a private sale or a registered public offering of our common stock; however, at this time and with the current economy, it seems unlikely that we can obtain an underwriter.

 

21

 

 

This discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 As Compared to September 30, 2014

 

Commensurate with the change in business model described, under “General” above, the Company generated $838,683 in gross revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015. These are revenues associated with the operations of the West Hartford World of Beer location. There are no comparable figures for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as the West Hartford World of Beer location was not open at that time.

 

Administrative Salaries, taxes and employee benefits were zero for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $37,500 for the prior year. There are no corporate employees in 2015 as Attitude Drinks Incorporated’s employees provide all needed management services for the Company.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $9,666 mainly due to the creation of a new website and increased filing fees in 2015.

 

Professional fees increased $13,900 for the three months period ended September 30, 2015 versus September 30, 2014, primarily due to increased accounting and legal fees incurred in 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon us receiving additional third party financings to build our new World of Beer franchises and to fund our business at least throughout the next twelve months in our new fiscal year.  Ultimately, our ability to continue is dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations.  There is no assurance that further funding will be available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will be able to achieve profitability.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

External Debt Financing:

 

On July 29, 2015, we issued a convertible note payable to Alpha Capital Anstalt in which we received $80,000.

 

Proceeds of $40,000 from the above financing were used for payments on the new Milford, Connecticut World of Beer location, and the rest was used for working capital purposes.

 

The foregoing securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of the investors were accredited investors and/or had preexisting relationships with the Company, there was no general solicitation or advertising in connection with the offer or sale of securities, and the securities were issued with a restricted legend.

 

Our cash balance at September 30, 2015 was $152,372, a decrease of $73,716 from June 30, 2015, mainly due to slower summer vacation activities

 

We have limited capital resources, as, among other things, we have a limited operating history. We have generated reasonable revenues to date, but we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to become profitable in the future.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based on our history of net losses since our inception.

 

We do not believe that we have sufficient funds on hand to fully implement our business operations or to meet our cash obligations for the next 12-month period. As a result, we may need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of convertible debt financing. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through issuance of debt to meet our obligations over the next 12 months. We do have Additional Investment Rights from two accredited investors for a total of $5,000,000 to be used for the development of new World of Beer franchise locations, but there is no assurance that these investors will provide financings for these ventures.

 

22

 

 

We do not anticipate the need to hire corporate employees over the next 12 months as Attitude Drinks Incorporated’s employees are providing their services for the operations and management of the Company.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Our business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

If we are unable to identify and obtain suitable new franchise sites and successfully open new franchises, our revenue growth rate and profits may be reduced.

 

We require that all proposed franchise sites meet our site selection criteria. We may make errors in selecting these criteria or applying these criteria to a particular site, or there may be an insignificant number of new sites meeting these criteria that would enable us to achieve our planned expansion in future periods. We face significant competition from other restaurant companies and retailers for sites that meet our criteria, and the supply of sites may be limited in some markets. Further, we may be precluded from acquiring an otherwise suitable site due to an exclusivity restriction held by another tenant. As a result of these factors, our costs to obtain and lease sites may increase, or we may not be able to obtain certain sites due to unacceptable costs. Our inability to obtain suitable sites at reasonable costs may reduce our growth.

 

To successfully expand our business, we must open new World of Beer restaurants on schedule and in a profitable manner. In the past, World of Beer franchisees have experienced delays in restaurant openings, and we may experience similar delays in the future. Delays in opening new sites could hurt our ability to meet our growth objectives, which may affect our results of operations and thus our stock price. We cannot guarantee that we or any future franchisees will be able to achieve our expansion goals. Further, any sites that we open may not achieve operating results similar or better than our existing restaurant. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow from a new site, we may be required to recognize an impairment loss with respect to the assets for that restaurant. Our ability to expand successfully will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 

·Negotiating acceptable lease or purchase terms for new sites;

 

·Cost effective and timely planning, design and build-out of sites;

 

·Creating Guest awareness of our restaurants and taverns in new markets;

 

·Competition in new and existing markets;

 

·General economic conditions.

 

Our restaurants and taverns may not achieve market acceptance in the new regions we enter.

 

Our expansion plans depend on opening restaurants and taverns in markets starting with New England where we have little or no operating experience. We may not be successful in operating our locations in new markets on a profitable basis. The success of these new locations will be affected by the different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns of the new markets as well as our ability to generate market awareness of our brands. Sales at our locations opening in new markets may take longer to reach profitable levels, if at all.

 

New restaurants added to our existing markets may take sales from existing restaurants.

 

We intend to open new restaurants and taverns in our existing market, which may reduce sales performance and guest visits for our existing location. In addition, new locations added in existing markets may not achieve sales and operating performance at the same level as established restaurants in the market.

 

23

 

 

A security failure in our information technology systems could expose us to potential liability and loss of revenues.

 

We accept credit and debit card payments at our restaurant. A number of retailers have recently experienced actual or potential security breaches in which credit and debit card information may have been stolen, including a number of highly publicized incidents with well-known retailers. The intentional, inadvertent or negligent release or disclosure of data by our company or our service providers could result in theft, loss, fraudulent or unlawful use of customer data which could harm our reputation and result in remedial and other costs, fines or lawsuits.

 

Shortages or interruptions in the availability and delivery of food and other supplies may increase costs or reduce revenues.

 

Possible shortages or interruptions in the supply of food items and other supplies to our location(s) caused by inclement weather, terrorist attacks, natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes, pandemics, the inability of our vendors to obtain credit in a tightened credit market, food safety warnings or advisories or the prospect of such pronouncements, or other conditions beyond our control could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of items we buy and the operations of our restaurants. Our inability to effectively manage supply chain risk could increase our costs and limit the availability of products critical to our restaurant operations.

 

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we are currently focused on a new line of business and have very limited operating history and information.

 

Our company was incorporated on June 5, 2008, which makes an evaluation of us extremely difficult. In addition, we have recently shifted our focus from the commercial real estate lending to restaurant and tavern sales. There is a risk that we will be unable to successfully operate this new line of business or be able to successfully integrate it with our current management and structure. Our estimates of capital and personnel required for our new line of business are based on the experience of management and businesses that are familiar to them. We are subject to the risks such as our ability to implement our business plan, market acceptance of our proposed business and services, under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financing and other resources, competition from better funded and experienced companies, and uncertainty of our ability to generate revenues. There is no assurance that our activities will be successful or will result in any revenues or profit, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the stage of our development. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will be able to consummate our business strategy and plans, as described herein, or that financial, technological, market, or other limitations may force us to modify, alter, significantly delay, or significantly impede the implementation of such plans. We have insufficient results for investors to use to identify historical trends or even to make quarter to quarter comparisons of our operating results. You should consider our prospects in light of the risk, expenses and difficulties we will encounter as an early stage company. Our revenue and income potential is unproven, and our business model is continually evolving. We are subject to the risks inherent to the operation of a new business enterprise and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully address these risks.

 

We may not be profitable.

 

We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. For the three months ended September, 2015, we had a net operating loss of $2,733 as compared to a net operating loss of $52,361 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our ability to become profitable depends on our ability to have successful operations and generate and sustain revenues, while maintaining reasonable expense levels, all of which are uncertain in light of our limited operating history in our current line of business and our beginning of our new food and beverage line of business.

 

Our auditors have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our auditors’ report reflects the fact that the ability of our Company to continue as a going concern and expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This substantial doubt is due to our lack of committed funding and lack of revenue. Our consolidated financial statements reported a net loss of ($7,252,966) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 which includes a change in the fair market value of our derivative liabilities for $6,719,460. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you will lose your investment. You should not invest in us unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. See the notes to our Financial Statements.

There are general risks associated with the restaurant industry.

 

Restaurants are a very cyclical business.  Specific factors that impact our economic recessions can negatively influence discretionary consumer spending in restaurants and bars and result in lower customer counts as consumers become more price conscientious, tending to conserve their cash amid unemployment and other economic uncertainty. The effects of higher gasoline prices can also negatively affect discretionary consumer spending in restaurants and bars. Increasing costs for energy can affect profit margins in many other ways. Petroleum based material is often used to package certain products for distribution. In addition, suppliers may add fuel surcharges to their invoices. The cost to transport products from the distributors to restaurant operations will rise with each increase in fuel prices. Higher costs for electricity and natural gas result in higher costs to a) heat and cool restaurant facilities, b) refrigerate and cook food and c) manufacture and store food at the Company’s locations.

 

Inflationary pressure, particularly on food costs, labor costs (especially associated with increases in the minimum wage) and health care benefits, can negatively affect the operation of the business. Shortages of qualified labor are sometimes experienced in certain local economies. In addition, the loss of any key executives could pose a significant adverse effect on the Company.

 

If consumer confidence in our business deteriorates, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our business is built on consumers’ confidence in our brand.  As a consumer business, the strength of our brand and reputation are of paramount importance to us. A number of factors could adversely affect consumer confidence in our brand, many of which are beyond our control and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.  These factors include:

 

any regulatory action or investigation against us;

 

any negative publicity about a restaurant in the World Of Beer franchise; and

 

any negative publicity about our restaurants.

 

In addition, we are largely dependent on the other World of Beer franchisees to maintain the reputation of our brand. Despite the measures that we put in place to ensure their compliance with our performance standards, our lack of control over their operations may result in the low quality of service being attributed to our brand, negatively affecting our overall reputation. Any event that hurts our brand and reputation among consumers as a reliable services provider could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We face substantial competition in our target markets

 

The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and many of our competitors are substantially larger and possess greater financial resources than we do. Our restaurant(s) have numerous competitors, including national chains, regional and local chains, as well as independent operators. None of these competitors, in the opinion of our management, is dominant in the family-style sector of the restaurant industry. In addition, competition continues to increase from non-traditional competitors such as supermarkets that not only offer home meal replacement but also have in-store dining space trends that continue to grow in popularity.

 

The principal methods of competition in the restaurant industry are brand name recognition and advertising; menu selection and prices; food quality and customer perceptions of value, speed and quality of service; cleanliness and fresh, attractive facilities in convenient locations. In addition to competition for customers, sharp competition exists for qualified restaurant managers, hourly restaurant workers and quality sites on which to build new locations.

 

The restaurant and bar industry is very competitive, and we face competition from large national chains as well as individually owned restaurants. Large chains such as Buffalo Wild Wings have a similar open style that appeals to our sports fan and family demographic. There are additional restaurants that feature custom beers.  Many of these competitors have substantially more resources than we which allows them to have economies of scale allowing them price points which compare favorably to ours.  They also have the ability to market their restaurants given their sheer size which we do not possess.  All of these factors may make it difficult for us to succeed.

 

25

 

 

Unfavorable publicity could harm our business.

 

Multi-unit restaurant businesses such as ours can be adversely affected by publicity resulting from complaints or litigation or general publicity regarding poor food quality, food-borne illness, personal injury, food tampering, adverse health effects of consumption of various food products or high-calorie foods (including obesity), or other concerns. Negative publicity from traditional media or on-line social network postings may also result from actual or alleged incidents or events taking place in our restaurants. Regardless of whether the allegations or complaints are valid, unfavorable publicity relating to a number of our restaurants, or only to a single restaurant, could adversely affect public perception of the entire brand. Adverse publicity and its effect on overall consumer perceptions of food safety, or our failure to respond effectively to adverse publicity, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Changes in employment laws or regulation could harm our performance.

 

Various federal and state labor laws govern our relationship with our employees and affect operating costs. These laws include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, increased tax reporting and tax payment requirements for employees who receive tips, a reduction in the number of states that allow tips to be credited toward minimum wage requirements, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations and employment. Although our restaurants are designed to be accessible to the disabled, we could be required to make modifications to our restaurants to provide service to, or make reasonable accommodations for disabled persons.

 

Failure of our internal controls over financial reporting could harm our business and financial results.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that we would prevent or detect a misstatement of our financial statements or fraud. Any failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely or to detect and prevent fraud. A significant financial reporting failure or material weakness in internal control over financial reporting could cause a loss of investor confidence and decline in the market price of our stock.

 

Economic conditions could have a material adverse impact on our landlords or other tenants in retail centers in which we or our franchisees are located, which in turn could negatively affect our financial results.

 

Our landlords may be unable to obtain financing or remain in good standing under their existing financing arrangements, resulting in failures to pay required construction contributions or satisfy other lease covenants to us. In addition other tenants at retail centers in which we or our franchisees are located or have executed leases may fail to open or may cease operations. If our landlords fail to satisfy required co-tenancies, such failures may result in us or our franchisees terminating leases or delaying openings in these locations. Also, decreases in total tenant occupancy in retail centers in which we are located may affect guest traffic at our restaurants. All of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

An impairment in the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets could adversely affect our financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

 

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identified net assets of business acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, or whenever circumstances change in a way which could indicate that impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. We identify potential goodwill impairments by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, which includes goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of the reporting unit is calculated using a market approach. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, this is an indication that impairment may exist. We calculate the amount of the impairment by comparing the fair value of the assets and liabilities to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit in excess of the value of the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of the goodwill. If this amount is less than the carrying amount of goodwill, impairment is recognized for the difference. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment exists. Factors may include, among others: a significant decline in our expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and slower growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors would have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and negatively affect our financial condition and consolidated results of operations. We compute the amount of impairment by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. We are required to record a non-cash impairment charge if the testing performed indicates that goodwill has been impaired.

 

We evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets to determine if they are definite or indefinite-lived. Reaching a determination on useful life requires significant judgments and assumptions regarding the future effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment, and expected changes in distribution channels), the level of required maintenance expenditures and the expected lives of other related groups of assets.

 

We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of assets. Should the value of goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, there could be an adverse effect on our financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

 

We may experience higher-than-anticipated costs associated with the opening of new locations or with the closing, relocating and remodeling of existing restaurants, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our revenues and expenses can be impacted significantly by the location, number and timing of the opening of new restaurants and the closing, relocating, and remodeling of existing restaurants. We incur substantial pre-opening expenses each time we open a new restaurant and incur other expenses when we close, relocate or remodel existing restaurants. These expenses are generally higher when we open restaurants in new markets, but the costs of opening, closing, relocating or remodeling any of our restaurants may be higher than anticipated. An increase in such expenses could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Our success depends substantially on the value of our brands and our reputation for offering guests an unparalleled Guest experience.

 

We believe we have built a strong reputation for the quality and breadth of our menu items as part of the total experience that guests enjoy in our restaurants. We believe we must protect and grow the value of our brands to continue to be successful in the future. Any incident that erodes consumer trust in or affinity for our brands could significantly reduce their value. If consumers perceive or experience a reduction in food quality, service, or ambiance, or in any way believe we failed to deliver a consistently positive experience, our brand value could suffer.

 

Our inability to successfully and sufficiently raise menu prices could result in a decline in profitability.

 

We utilize menu price increases to help offset cost increases, including increased cost for commodities, minimum wages, employee benefits, insurance arrangements, construction, utilities and other key operating costs.  If our selection and amount of menu price increases are not accepted by consumers and reduce guest traffic, or are insufficient to counter increased costs, our financial results could be harmed.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to the timing of special events and other factors, including the recognition of impairment losses.

 

Our quarterly operating results depend, in part, on special events, such as the Super Bowl® and other sporting events viewed by our guests in our World of Beer franchised locations such as the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA. Interruptions in the viewing of these professional and collegiate sporting league events due to strikes, lockouts or labor disputes may impact our results. Additionally, our results are subject to fluctuations based on the dates of sporting events and their availability for viewing through broadcast, satellite and cable networks. Historically, sales in most of our restaurants have been higher during fall and winter months based on the relative popularity and extent of national, regional and local sporting and other events. Further, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly because of other factors, including:

 

·Fluctuations in food costs, particularly chicken wings;

 

·The timing of new restaurant openings which may impact margins due to the related preopening costs and initially higher restaurant level operating expense ratios;

 

·Potential distraction or unusual expenses associated with our expansion into other geographical territories;

 

·Our ability to operate effectively in new markets in which we have limited operating experience;

 

·Labor availability and costs for hourly and management personnel;

 

·Changes in competitive factors;

 

·Disruption in supplies;

 

·General economic conditions, consumer confidence and fluctuations in discretionary spending;

 

·Claims experience for self-insurance programs;

 

·Increases or decreases in labor or other variable expenses;

 

·The impact of inclement weather, natural disasters and other calamities;

 

·Fluctuations in interest rates;

 

·The timing and amount of asset impairment loss and restaurant closing charges; and

 

·Tax expenses and other non-operating costs.

 

As a result of the factors discussed above, our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year. These fluctuations may cause future operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and shareholders. In that event, the price of our common stock would likely decrease.

 

We may not be able to attract and retain qualified team members and key executives to operate and manage our business.

 

Our success and the success of our individual restaurant(s) and business depends on our ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified key executives and restaurant employees, including restaurant managers and hourly team members. The inability to recruit, develop and retain these individuals may delay the planned openings of new restaurant and tavern locations  or result in high employee turnover in existing locations, thus increasing the cost to efficiently operate our restaurants. This could inhibit our expansion plans and business performance and, to the extent that a labor shortage may force us to pay higher wages, harm our profitability. The loss of any of our key executive officers could jeopardize our ability to meet our financial targets.

 

The sale of alcoholic beverages at our locations subjects us to additional regulations and potential liability.

 

Because our locations sell alcoholic beverages, we are required to comply with the alcohol licensing requirements of the federal government, states and municipalities where our restaurants are located. Alcoholic beverage control regulations require applications to state authorities and, in certain locations, county and municipal authorities for a license and permit to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises and to provide service for extended hours and on Sundays. Typically, the licenses are renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. Alcoholic beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of the daily operations of the restaurants and bars, including minimum age of guests and employees, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, inventory control and handling, storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. If we fail to comply with federal, state or local regulations, our licenses may be revoked, and we may be forced to terminate the sale of alcoholic beverages at one or more of our locations. Further, growing movements to change laws relating to alcohol may result in a decline in alcohol consumption at our facilities or increase the number of dram shop claims made against us, either of which may negatively impact operations or result in the loss of liquor licenses.

 

28

 

 

In certain states we are subject to “dram shop” statutes, which generally allow a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated person. Some dram shop litigation against restaurant companies has resulted in significant judgments, including punitive damages.

 

Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our performance.

 

The success of our World of Beer franchises depends, in part, upon the continued popularity of the overall World of Beer system locations throughout the United States as well as our unique food and beverage items and appeal of sports bars and casual dining restaurants. We also depend on trends toward consumers eating away from home. Shifts in these consumer preferences could negatively affect our future profitability. Such shifts could be based on health concerns related to the cholesterol, carbohydrate, fat, calorie or salt content of certain food items, including items featured on our menu. Negative publicity over the health aspects of such food items may adversely affect consumer demand for our menu items and could result in a decrease in guest traffic to our restaurants, which could materially harm our business. In addition, we will be required to disclose calorie counts for all food items on our menus, due to federal regulations, and this may have an effect on consumers’ eating habits. Other federal regulations could follow this pattern. In addition, our success depends to a significant extent on numerous factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions, disposable consumer income and consumer confidence. A decline in consumer spending or in economic conditions could reduce guest traffic or impose practical limits on pricing, either of which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

 

A regional or global health pandemic could severely affect our business.

 

A health pandemic is a disease outbreak that spreads rapidly and widely by infection and affects many individuals in an area or population at the same time. If a regional or global health pandemic was to occur, depending upon its duration and severity, our business could be severely affected. We have positioned our brand as a place where people can gather together.

 

Customers might avoid public gathering places in the event of a health pandemic, and local, regional or national governments might limit or ban public gatherings to halt or delay the spread of disease. A regional or global health pandemic might also adversely impact our business by disrupting or delaying production and delivery of materials and products in its supply chain and by causing staffing shortages in our restaurants. The impact of a health pandemic might be disproportionately greater than on other companies that depend less on the gathering of people together for the sale or use of their products and services.

 

We may be subject to increased labor and insurance costs.

 

Our restaurant operations are subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, working conditions, overtime, and tip credits. As federal and state minimum wage rates increase, we may need to increase not only the wages of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to employees at wage rates that are above minimum wage. Labor shortages, increased employee turnover, and health care mandates could also increase our labor costs. This, in turn, could lead us to increase prices which could impact our sales. Conversely, if competitive pressures or other factors prevent us from offsetting increased labor costs by increases in prices, our profitability may decline. In addition, the current premiums that we pay for our insurance (including workers' compensation, general liability, property, health, and directors' and officers' liability) may increase at any time, thereby further increasing our costs. The dollar amount of claims that we actually experience under our workers' compensation and general liability insurance, for which we carry high per-claim deductibles, may also increase at any time, thereby further increasing our costs. Also, the decreased availability of property and liability insurance has the potential to negatively impact the cost of premiums and the magnitude of uninsured losses.

 

Our current insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims.

 

We currently maintain insurance customary for businesses of our size and type. However, there are types of losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not economically reasonable to insure, such as losses due to natural disasters. Such damages could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We are dependent on information technology and any material failure of that technology could impair our ability to efficiently operate our business.

 

We rely on information systems across our operations, including, for example, point-of-sale processing in our locations, management of our supply chain, collection of cash and credit and debit card payments, payment of obligations and various other processes and procedures. Our ability to efficiently manage our business depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, problems with maintenance, upgrading or transitioning to replacement systems, or a breach in security of these systems could cause delays in customer service, reduce efficiency in our operations, require significant investment to remediate the issue or cause negative publicity that could damage our brand. Significant capital investments might be required to remediate any problems.

 

29

 

 

If we are unable to maintain our rights to use key technologies of third parties, our business may be harmed.

 

We rely on certain technology licensed from third parties and may be required to license additional technology in the future for use in managing our internet sites and providing related services to users and customers. These third-party technology licenses may not continue to be available to us on acceptable commercial terms or at all. The inability to enter into and maintain any of these technology licenses could significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Our future growth may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed or may be available only at an excessive cost.

 

In order to build out our business plan and to be ultimately successful, we will need ample capital to purchase/rent new properties, build new locations, hire personnel and market our locations. We may not generate sufficient cash from our existing operations in order to do so. Therefore, we may at some point choose to raise additional capital to support our continued growth. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend, in part, on conditions in the capital markets at that time which are outside of our control. Accordingly, we may be unable to raise additional capital, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, its ability to further expand operations through internal growth and acquisitions could be materially impacted. In the event of a material decrease in our stock price, future issuances of equity securities could result in dilution of existing shareholder interests.

 

If we are unable to obtain additional funding, our business operations will be harmed. Even if we do obtain additional financing, our then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

 

It is possible that additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. The inability to raise the required capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. Our ability to obtain capital will also depend on market conditions, the national economy and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to obtain necessary financing, we will likely be required to curtail our business plans, which could cause the company to become dormant. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

 

The occurrence of any failure, breach or interruption in service involving our systems or those of our service providers could damage our reputation, cause losses, increase our expenses, and result in a loss of customers, an increase in regulatory scrutiny or expose us to civil litigation and possibly financial liability, any of which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our stock.

 

Communications and information systems are essential to the conduct of our business, as we use such systems to manage our customer relationships, our general ledger, our deposits and our loans. Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, the security of our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses or other malicious code and cyber attacks that could have a security impact. In addition, breaches of security may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by those having authorized or unauthorized access to our confidential or other information or the confidential or other information of our customers, clients or counterparties. If one or more of such events was to occur, the confidential and other information processed and stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and networks could potentially be jeopardized or could otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations or the operations of our customers, clients or counterparties. This could cause us significant reputational damage or result in our experiencing significant losses.

 

Furthermore, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks. We also may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through any insurance we maintain. In addition, we routinely transmit and receive personal, confidential and proprietary information by e-mail and other electronic means. We have discussed and worked with our customers, clients and counterparties to develop secure transmission capabilities, but we do not have, and may be unable to put in place, secure capabilities with all of these constituents, and we may not be able to ensure that these third parties have appropriate controls in place to protect the confidentiality of such information.

 

While we have established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of systems failures and interruptions, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur or that they will be adequately addressed if they do. In addition, we outsource certain aspects of our data processing to certain third-party providers. If our third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty in communication with them, our ability to adequately process and account for customer transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely impacted. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.

Our management team is not required to devote their full time to our business.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Roy Warren, and our Chief Financial Officer, Tommy Kee, hold the same roles at Attitude Drinks, Incorporated, another publicly traded company that is the majority owner of Harrison, Vickers and Waterman, Inc. As a result of this other obligation, there is a substantial risk that  both Mr. Warren and Mr. Kee may not devote as much time as is necessary to our operations, which may harm our business and operating results.

 

Our Former CEO and Director believes he is owed $175,000

 

We had accrued $175,000 to our former CEO and Sole Director, James Giordano.  Upon Mr. Giordano’s exit from our firm, we arranged for the purchase of his common shares held as complete compensation for his tenure here.  All other liabilities to Mr. Giordano for services rendered were eliminated.  Mr. Giordano disputes this assertion.  If we are required to remit to Mr. Giordano $175,000, it will take away funds from operating and expanding the business, which may greatly harm our cash position and growth potential.

 

On September 4, 2015, the Company was notified that Mr. Giordano filed a summons in Connecticut Superior Court alleging lost wages.

 

Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

 

We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of shares of our stock. As of the date of this Report, we have 7,500,000,000 authorized shares of common stock of which 126,337,367 are currently outstanding. We also have 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized of which 100,000 shares have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 100,000 shares are outstanding and maybe converted into 100,000,000 shares of common stock. We also have designated and issued 51 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that may be converted into 51,000 shares of common stock. Our Board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the remaining authorized but unissued common shares. The preferred shares are subject to certain rights of the holders of the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock and may also be issued without the vote of the common stockholders. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may further dilute common stock book value. Such dilution may be substantial. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

 

We are and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Roy Warren, the loss of whose services may cause our business operations to cease, and we will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.

 

As of the date of this Report, our operations and business strategy are completely dependent upon the knowledge and business contacts of Roy Warren, our President and CEO. He is under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If he should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel, our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described herein. We will fail without Mr. Warren or an appropriate replacement(s). We may, in the future, acquire key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Warren naming us as the beneficiary when and if we obtain the resources to do so, assuming Mr. Warren remains insurable. We have not yet procured such insurance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such insurance in the future. Accordingly, it is important that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and talented personnel and independent contractors. Furthermore, much of our marking efforts rely principally on the personality and achievements of Roy Warren. If he was to incur any negative publicity, our operating results may be harmed.

 

We are dependent upon affiliated parties for the provisions of a substantial portion of our administrative services as we do not have the internal capabilities to provide such services.

 

We utilize the services of four employees of Attitude Drinks to perform administrative services for us.  These individuals are not obligated to devote any set amount of time to our business and may not be available when needed.  There can be no assurance that we can successfully develop the necessary expertise and infrastructure on our own without the assistance of these affiliated entities.

 

31

 

 

Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

 

Our articles of incorporation and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents upon such person's promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. There is no assurance that we would be able to collect on such promises. Therefore, if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification; this indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which we will be unable to recoup.

 

The costs to meet our reporting and other requirements as a public company subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be substantial and may result in us having insufficient funds to expand our business or even to meet routine business obligations.

 

As a public entity subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements. We estimate that these costs will range up to $100,000 per year for the next few years and will be higher if our business volume and activity increases, but lower during the first year of being public because our overall business volume will be lower. Until we become profitable, we will be required to sell additional equity or seek loans to pay such expenses.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

Any additional funding we arrange through the sale of our common stock will result in dilution to existing security holders.

 

Our most likely source of working capital and additional funds for the foreseeable future will be through the profits from World of Beer restaurants and taverns, and the sale of additional shares of our common stock. Such issuances will cause security holders’ interests in our common stock to be diluted which will negatively affect the value of your shares.

 

Any active trading market that may develop may be restricted by virtue of state securities “Blue Sky” laws, which prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible for our security holders to sell shares of our common stock in those states.

 

There is a limited public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active public market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities regulations and laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the Blue Sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there may be significant state Blue Sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit or limit the secondary trading of our common stock.

 

We currently do not intend to, and may not be able to, qualify our securities for resale by our selling security holders in approximately 17 states that do not offer manual exemptions and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our security holders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

 

Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on our President, who is not independent, to perform these functions.

 

We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Indeed, we do not have any audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. An independent audit committee plays a crucial role in the corporate governance process, assessing our processes relating to our risks and control environment, overseeing financial reporting and evaluating internal and independent audit processes. The lack of an independent audit committee may prevent the Board from being independent from our management in their judgments and decisions and their ability to pursue the responsibilities of an audit committee without undue influence. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified, independent directors, the management of our business could be compromised. Our lack of an independent compensation committee presents the risk that our executive officers on the Board may have influence over his personal compensation and benefits levels that may not be commensurate with our financial performance.

 

There is volatility in our stock price.

 

The market for our stock has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Factors such as announcements of variations in our quarterly financial results and fluctuations in same-store sales could cause the market price of our stock to fluctuate significantly. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for restaurant companies in particular, have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance. Additionally, volatility or a lack of positive performance in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to retain key employees, many of whom have been granted equity compensation.

 

32

 

 

The market price of our stock can be influenced by stockholders' expectations about the ability of our business to grow and to achieve certain profitability targets. If our financial performance in a particular quarter does not meet the expectations of our stockholders, it may adversely affect their views concerning our growth potential and future financial performance. In addition, if the securities analysts who regularly follow our stock lower their ratings of our stock, the market price of our stock is likely to drop significantly.

 

Our common shares are subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9, which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

·that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

 

·the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

·In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

Oobtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

 

Omake a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

 

·that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our shares of common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

If an active market develops for our shares, sales of our shares relying upon Rule 144 may depress prices in that market by a material amount.

 

The majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by present stockholders are ”restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The SEC has recently adopted amendments to Rule 144, which became effective on February 15, 2008 and apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we have been current with the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least twelve months before the sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed 1% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which would equal 1,263,374 shares of our common stock immediately after this offering, for a company trading on the pink sheets or Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board such as us.

 

33

 

 

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.

 

We believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

·Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 

·Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 

·“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

 

·Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

 

·The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, holders of our common stock must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.

 

There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada General Corporation Law, however, does prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. We have not declared any dividends since our inception, and we do not plan to declare any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, holders of our common stock will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on their investment in our common stock.

 

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact the right of holders of our common stock.

 

As of the date of this Report, our Articles of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 100,000 have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 51 have been designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, our Board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, the rights of holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of their ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in the interest of holders of common stock. To date, our investors in the Series A Preferred Convertible Preferred Stock have waived their dividends which we were obligated to pay to them. There is no guarantee going forward that they will waive these dividends in the future. If so, the number of shares issued may be materially dilute your investment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

James Giordano, our previous CEO, filed a lawsuit on August 26, 2015 in the State of Connecticut in Hartford County. The claim is in a total amount of no less than $220,833 for past salaries.  The Company does not agree with this complaint and will respond as soon as practical. The Company has recorded a liability of $175,000 in regards to the disputed claim.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On July 29, 2015, we issued a convertible note payable for $80,000 with a two year maturity at an interest rate of ten percent per annum. We also issued a warrant to purchase up to 64,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $.0025 with an expiration date of June 29, 2022.

 

The foregoing securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of the investors were accredited investors and/or had preexisting relationships with the Company, there was no general solicitation or advertising in connection with the offer or sale of securities and the securities were issued with a restrictive legend.
