CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements include those that address activities, developments or events that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future.  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly report, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the captions "Risk Factors" beginning on page 31, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on page 4, and elsewhere in this Quarterly report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

 

As used in this Quarterly report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "5BARz" and the "Company" mean 5BARz International Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly report are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The disclosures set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014. Because of the nature of a relatively new and growing company, the reported results will not necessarily reflect the operating results that will be achieved in the future.

5BARz International, Inc.

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Going Concern

  

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 14, 2008. The Company was a designated shell corporation from inception to the date of acquisition of the 5BARz assets.

 

In 2010 the Company changed its name to 5BARz International, Inc. and the Company acquired a set of agreements for certain intellectual property underlying the 5BARz® products, and marketing rights. The 5BARz® products are highly engineered wireless units referred to as “cellular network infrastructure devices”. The 5BARz® device captures cell signal and provides a smart amplification and resend of that cell signal giving the user improved cellular reception in their home, office or while mobile. On March 29, 2012, 5BARz International, Inc. acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. and a 60% interest in the intellectual property underlying the 5BARz® products. From that acquisition date, 5BARz International Inc. continued the development and improvement of the 5BARz technology.

  

On January 12, 2015, the Company incorporated a 99% owned subsidiary in Mexico called 5BARz International SA de CV. The Company holds an inventory of 5BARz Road Warriors in Mexico, but has not commenced planned principle operations.

 

On January 12, 2015, the Company incorporated a 99.9% owned subsidiary in Bangalore, India, called 5BARz India Private Limited. The Company has delivered prototype units into India which are in testing with Tier 1 cellular network operators in the region.

 

These financial statements reflect the financial position for the Company and its subsidiary companies CelLynx Group Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CelLynx Inc., 5BARz International SA de CV, and 5BARz India Private Limited as at September 30, 2015. Results of operations for subsidiary Companies are reflected only from the date of acquisition of that subsidiary for the period indicated in the respective statements.   

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has recognized no revenue to date. The Company incurred losses of $8,141,431 and $7,166,395 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively. Cash used in operating activities was $3,027,498 and $4,356,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively. The Company is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, and there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon adequate additional financing being raised to develop its sales and marketing program for the sales of 5BARz product, to expand the Company’s product base and commence its planned operations.

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 Note 1 – Organization and Going Concern (continued)

 

Management’s assessment of the significant mitigating factors include several quantitative and qualitative conditions which support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as follows;

 

  · Continued ability to generate proceeds from private placements and debt financing– since inception of the 5BARz business in 2008, the Company has financed operations through private placements and debt, with increased volumes in the recent years. The Company’s gross proceeds from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3,634,219 which brings the aggregate cash from financing activities to date to $14,562,180. The Company has established a sustainable ability to raise capital to continue operations at variable rates.
  · Beta Product Testing – In December 2014, the Company made its first delivery of Beta product into India for optimization of the product and subsequent Beta testing by Cellular Network Operators in the region. That testing has been successfully completed with a cellular network operator and is ongoing with others. As a result the Company is in the process of completing commercial arrangements for the commencement of orders and deployment of product in the region. In addition, the development of new product is underway with expanded functionality and application. The Company is setting groundwork for the expansion of its commercial deployment to alternative regions globally
  · Ability to Engage High Quality Management, Technical and Advisory Personnel - Over the past several years the Company has established an advisory board and management team which have a proven track records in substantive global technology businesses, which both supports the quality of the innovative products being developed as well as the Company’s ability to integrate those products into the global marketplace.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2015 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 5BARz International Inc., and its subsidiary companies CelLynx Group Inc. (60%) and its wholly owned subsidiary CelLynx Inc. (100%), 5BARz International SA de CV (99%), and 5BARz India Private Limited (99.9%). Results of operations for subsidiary Companies are reflected only from the date of acquisition of that subsidiary, for the period indicated in the respective statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

As the Company's has not yet commenced any revenue-generating operations, does not have any cash flows from operations, and is dependent on debt and equity funding to finance its operations, the Company is considered a development stage company. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to commercialize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology.

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance that removed all incremental financial reporting requirements from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for development stage entities. The Company early adopted this new guidance effective June 30, 2014, as a result of which all inception-to-date financial information and disclosures have been removed from this report.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of these 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include impairment analysis for long lived assets, income taxes, litigation and valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and Development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses (either in research and development, marketing or production), are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

 

Furniture & equipment

 

Furniture & equipment is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.  The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the depreciation method and period are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. The furniture and equipment is being depreciated over their estimated useful life of three to seven years.

 Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies - continued

 

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method.   As of September 30, 2015 the Company’s inventory included 988 units of Road Warrior cellular network extenders.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. The Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment. 

 

When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for some or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of our reporting units and perform a detailed quantitative test of impairment (step 1). If the Company performs the detailed quantitative impairment test and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform an analysis (step 2) to measure such impairment. In 2014, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to identify and evaluate events and circumstances to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the Company’s qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying value of its intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

 

Long-Lived Assets Subject to Amortization

 

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews them for impairment annually or whenever impairment exists. The Company continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances might indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision, or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful life of seven to ten years.  

 

There were no long-lived assets impairment charges recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers, and when the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the temporal method. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz International SA de CV, in Mexico is the local currency, the Mexican Peso, and the functional currency in the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz India Private Limited is the functional currency in India, the Indian Rupee. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets have been translated at the historical rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Expenses have been translated at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

 

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  •   Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  •   Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
  •   Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

The assets or liability’s fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

 

 

    Consolidated
Balance Sheet
  Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities
(Level 1)
  Quoted Prices for Similar Assets or Liabilities in Active Markets

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies - continued

 

Fair value of financial instruments - continued

  

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

    September 30, 2015   December 31, 2014
Beginning balance   $ 547,940     $ 60,018  
Aggregate fair value of conversion feature upon issuance     1,064,350       263,490  
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities       213,357       224,432  
Reclassification of derivative liability     (714,782 )     —    
Ending balance   $ 1,110,865     $ 547,940  

 

The derivative conversion feature liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The significant assumptions and valuation methods that the Company used to determine fair value and the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are provided below:

 

 

    September 30, 2015   December 31, 2014
Stock price   $ 0.10     $ 0.11  
Volatility     96 %     83 %
Risk-free interest rate     0.08- 0.92 %     0.46 %
Dividend yield     0.0 %     0 %
Expected life     0.01 2.71 years       1.6 years  

 

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.  

 

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. 

   

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

As of September 30, 2015 there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Derivative instruments

 

Derivative Financial Instruments The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

 

Derivative instruments (continued)  

 

If the Company were to enter into a financial arrangement through the issuance of convertible debt and or warrants, for which such instruments would contain a variable conversion feature with an indeterminable number of shares, the Company would apply a sequencing policy in accordance with ASC 815- 40-35-12 whereby such instruments, and all future issuances of financial instruments regardless of conversion terms, would be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors. The Company may also apply sequencing in any circumstance, whereby the Company has entered into financial arrangements for commitments to issue shares, for which such issuances would exceed the authorized share limit. Upon the issuance of any such instrument, the excess shares committed to be issued, would also be reclassified as a derivative liability.

       

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or conversion options. Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. Under ASC 718, the Company’s volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock or the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options. Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. 

 

Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/seller market transaction.

 

The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

 

The Company incurred stock based compensation charges during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as follows;

 

    3 months ended    9 months ended
     September 30   September 30
      2015       2014       2015       2014  
General and administrative   $ 49,435     $ 84,366     $ 132,843     $ 624,875  
Research and development     57,198       83,332       97,028       369,431  
Sales and marketing     37,455       85,885       93,637       170,836  
Total   $ 144,088     $ 253,583     $ 323,508     $ 1,165,142

Net loss per share

 

The Company reports loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”, which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and conversion of notes payable. These potentially dilutive securities outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively of 191,262,448 and 102,517,763 were not included in the calculation of loss per common share, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding does not include reciprocal shareholdings, held by the Company’s subsidiary, CelLynx Group, Inc. which is reflected as a reduction in capital in excess of par value on the Company’s balance sheet.  

 

The Company will not have sufficient Common shares available to issue should all of the above conversions and exercises occur. Accordingly, the Company may have to settle these contracts in cash if they are not successful in increasing the authorized number of shares.

 

The Company applies sequencing with respect to such commitments and other circumstances as disclosed in its accounting policies for derivatives.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.

 

Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

 In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU effective as of December 31, 2014 and its adoption resulted in the additional disclosures in Note 1, reflecting management’s assessment of the mitigating effect of management’s plans on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In April, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 on “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt issuance costs” The ASU changes the presentation of debt issue costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Amortization of the cost is reported as an interest expense. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial statements. At that time the Company would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “ Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ”, that requires inventory not measured using either the last in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial statements. At that time the Company would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. 

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) by one year. ASU 2015-14 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. As a result, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the first quarter of 2018. Earlier application is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those years, which for us is the first quarter of 2017. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

 

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of September 30, 2015 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2015 or 2014, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.

b)     On January 8, 2013 the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with a consultant in settlement of $147,428 payable to that consultant for services rendered.

In addition the Company reflected a derivative liability at September 30, 2015 of $12,906 in connection with this note.

  

c)      On August 21, 2014 the Company entered into a convertible note arrangement with an investment Company, in the principle amount of $500,000 of which $150,000 was advanced to the Company at the inception of the note. The Company agreed to pay an “original issue discount” in an amount up to 10% of the loan amount, or $16,667. The interest rate on the note is 0% for the first 90 days. The loan may be repaid at any time during the first three months of the note term. Thereafter, if the note is not repaid, a one-time interest charge of 12% is assessed. The note is convertible into common stock of the issuer at a discount to market of 40%, with the market defined as the lowest trade price for a period of 25 days prior to the conversion, with a conversion floor price at no lower than $0.00005. On March 20, 2015 the holder converted $19,200 of principle and interest on the note for 400,000 shares.

The purchasers have agreed that at any time on or before the earlier of (i) the Purchasers’ election, or (ii) the execution of an engagement letter by and between the Company and an Investment Banking Firm acceptable to the purchaser relating to the provision of financial advisory services by the Investment Banking Firm to the Company, that the Company will sell Notes representing the balance of the authorized principal amount not sold at the Closing to the Purchasers. The convertible note accrues interest at a rate of 1% per annum and provides for the conversion of the principal and accrued interest on the note into common stock at any time, at the election of the holder at a price of $0.15 per share. Further, the number of warrants to be issued will be equal to the proceeds loaned pursuant to the note and warrant purchase agreement divided by $0.15. The warrant has a term of five (5) years and provides a strike price of $0.20 per share. The fair value of warrants at the date of issue was $282,767 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The convertible promissory note and accrued interest is calculated to be $252,493 at September 30, 2015, net of an unamortized debt discount of $139,552, resulting in a carrying value of $112,941.

At that date the Company had paid $170,000 as a deposit made under that agreement. On March 29, 2012 the Company entered into a securities exchange agreement and settlement agreement with each of the two founding shareholders of CelLynx Group, Inc. whereby in addition to the $170,000 paid, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 63,412,638 shares of CelLynx Group, Inc. and mutual releases were signed between the parties releasing each from any further obligation.

 

On March 29, 2012, the Company acquired a further interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. by conversion of $73,500 of convertible debt in CelLynx Group, Inc. for the issuance of 350,000,000 shares in the capital stock of CelLynx Group, Inc. As a result, in combination with the shares acquired from existing shareholders referred to above, the registrant acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. and has accounted for that acquisition as a consolidated subsidiary of the registrant effective March 29, 2012.

 

Subsequent to that acquisition, the Company has converted amounts due, pursuant to the convertible line of credit agreement between the Company and CelLynx Group Inc. as follows;

 

Date   Amount converted   Shares issued
  April 13, 2012     $ 7,700       51,333,333

Note 13 – Asset Acquisition Agreement

On March 29, 2012, the Company and CelLynx Group Inc. entered into an agreement which provided several amendments to the agreement referred to above. As a result of those amendments, the following arrangements between the Companies were established; 

  i.            5BARz International, Inc. acquired a 60% interest in the patents and trademarks held by CelLynx Group Inc., referred to as the “5BARz™” technology. That interest in the technology was acquired for proceeds comprised of 9,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, valued at the date of acquisition at $0.20 per share or $1,800,000 USD. The acquisition agreement also clarified that the ownership interest in the intellectual property does represent that proportionate interest in income earned from the intellectual property.
  ii.            The Company had agreed to make available to CelLynx Group, Inc a revolving line of credit facility as amended in the amount of $2.2 million dollars on October 5, 2010. Pursuant to this revolving line of credit facility, which was scheduled to expire on October 5, 2013, the Company advanced $2,394,643 to the date of expiry. At September 30, 2013 the Company agreed to extend the term of the line of credit facility to CelLynx Group, Inc., for the lesser of one year, or the time that CelLynx Group, Inc. becomes self sustaining from royalty income. Under the amended terms of the line of credit facility, the Company has the right to convert amounts due under the facility into common stock of CelLynx, at a conversion rate which is calculated at 51% of the average lowest three closing bid prices of the CelLynx Group, Inc. common stock for a period which is ten (10) days prior to the date of conversion. This conversion rate was established previously by other parties that have funded CelLynx, and is being matched by 5BARz. At September 30, 2015, the Company holds 1,489,745,971 shares of the capital stock of CelLynx Group, Inc. and has a balance of $3,022,347 principle and interest due under the line of credit facility from Cellynx Group, Inc. On September 30, 2014 the Line of Credit agreement between the parties matured. CelLynx is a consolidated subsidiary of 5BARz International Inc., since March 29, 2012.
  iii.            Pursuant to the Master Global Marketing and Distribution agreement between 5BARz International, Inc. and CelLynx Group, Inc., the registrant was obligated to pay to CelLynx Group, Inc a royalty fee amounting to 50% of the Company’s Net Earnings, from products or license arrangements related to the 5BARz™ technology, in a ratio equal to the CelLynx proportionate interest in the underlying technology. Subsequent to the acquisition by 5BARz of a 60% interest in the intellectual property from Cellynx, that Royalty was reduced to an effective Royalty amount of 20% of net earnings from products or license arrangements related to the 5BARz technology. That fee would be paid on a quarterly basis, payable in cash or immediately available funds and shall be due and payable not later than 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter of the year. The asset acquisition agreement amendment referred to herein specified that the royalties would be paid in relation to the ownership of the intellectual property. In addition as a result of the acquisition of a 60% interest in CelLynx Group, Inc. by the registrant, this royalty item is an intercompany transaction which in the future will be eliminated upon consolidation in financial reporting of the consolidated financial results of 5BARz International Inc. and subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Business 

 

5BARz International Inc. (“5BARz” or the “Company”) is a leading wireless Company which has designed and patented a line of cellular network infrastructure devices for use in the office, home and mobile market places. The Companies products incorporate multiple patented technologies to create a highly engineered, single-piece, plug ‘n play device that strengthens weak cellular signals to deliver high quality signals for voice, data and video reception on cell phones and other cellular equipped devices. The 5BARz® solution represents a critical solution for cellular network carriers in providing a clear, reliable, high quality signal for their subscribers with a growing need for high quality connectivity, especially as relates to the use of data on mobile devices. The Company’s products are engineered to incorporate a great number of features more fully addressed herein.

The Company is in the process of developing the global commercialization of the cellular network product enhancements to facilitate the expansion through cellular network operators, with each sector of integration to be managed in geographic areas. The initial business focus is currently in India, with formative steps taken in Latin America, the U.S., Africa and Western European market sectors.

 

We were incorporated in Nevada on November 17, 2008 and the Company has offices in the States of California and Florida as well as subsidiary operations in Mexico and India. The address of the Company’s Innovation Center in San Diego is 9444 Waples Street, Suite 140, San Diego, California, 92121, and our centralized telephone number is 877-723-7255. Our web site is www.5BARz.com. Through a link on the Investor Relations section of our website, we make available the following filings as soon as reasonably possible after they are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): our Annual Report on Form 10K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed pursuant to Section 13 (a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. All such filings are available free of charge. The information posted on our web site is not necessarily incorporated into this report.

 

During the recent quarter, the focus of the Company has been multi faceted;

 

In India, our newly established subsidiary Company, working in conjunction with our team of contract engineers in the country, have been active working with some of the largest cellular network operators, completing extensive testing programs of the Company’s products and working on the integration of those products into the cellular network operators portfolio of solutions for the improvement of their network. The near term objective is to commence the supply of products to those cellular network operators and integrate the 5BARz® products into their supply chain. Participating cellular network operators can expect vastly improved connectivity for their subscribers in the region. The more significant improvements that subscribers will experience are (i) significantly improved upload and download times for data transmission, (ii) clearer voice communication with fewer dropped calls (iii) a reduction in radio frequency emissions at the handset utilized by the subscriber and (iv) improved battery life on the handset, to mention a few.

 

During the recent quarter, the Company received initial purchase orders from one of the largest cellular network operators in India for units that are specifically channelized for operation on that operators network. The units were shipped in September 2015 pursuant to those purchase orders. The Company has received very positive feedback on the operation of these units in India. Testing has indicated data rate improvements up to 100%, elimination of dropped calls and an elimination of buffering for audio/video reception. It should be noted that the product designed for the market in India is designed in a configuration that is functional to provide services to 91 Countries globally, with an aggregate subscriber base of 2.98 billion subscribers comprising some of the most significant wireless markets in the world. Further purchase arrangements are underway with a planned on-boarding of product to integrate the Companies products, into that supply chain of our customer. In addition, sales and marketing efforts with other cellular network operators in India are progressing with product deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2016.

In the US, the Companies innovation center in San Diego has been focused upon the logistics required to meet the pending needs of the marketplace in India as well as the transition of product manufacturing from the US to India for that marketplace. In addition, the Engineering team in San Diego have continued the development of new product enhancements which will improve the products flexibility with respect to operational characteristics for various other global markets, including the US. Cellular networks throughout the world are comprised of variable configurations, using 2G, 3G and 4G LTE technologies, operating on variable bands and frequencies. New technology being integrated into the Companies products will serve to accelerate the Company’s ability to customize product for specific market needs in various geographic areas and cellular network configurations. In addition, technological developments are being completed to enhance the “mobile” product first introduced in 2010 by the Company, improving the functional and simplicity of use of that product.

 

In Mexico, the inventory of Road Warriors have been presented to retail operators in the region and the Company has received expressions of interest from them to carry the product. However, that commitment is associated with a requirement for the funding of sales and marketing programs in the region by the Company, and the related working capital requirements for inventory. The Company has made the strategic decision to focus resources on the more significant activity in India at this time, and to commence the retail program in Mexico and Latin America, subsequent to the launch in India.

 

 

 

Strategy and focus areas

 

Our focus is on three foundational priorities;

 

  · Leadership in our core business, maintaining the highest standards in developing highly engineered devices to manage cellular signal in the vicinity of the user.

 

  · Effective collaboration with cellular network operators to ensure that our products fully meet their needs in providing their subscriber base with a portfolio of state of the art solutions for maintaining excellence in cellular connectivity.

 

  · Architectural design creation, to facilitate the effective integration of the Companies product into new and innovative applications, for use in automobiles, computers and numerous other areas of application.

 

The Company is uniquely positioned to take advantage of recent market transitions. As more and more users are migrating to the use of cellular equipped devices for communication, internet access, navigation and even entertainment, consumer demand for clear and consistent cellular signal has never been more important. In our opinion, this evolution driven by mobile device proliferation is in early stages. 5BARz is uniquely positioned to meet this growing demand with their developing line of product.

 

The Company’s recently introduced, highly evolved innovative, carrier grade device, incorporates technologies and a combination of functionality which represents the most advanced product developed in this market, to date. This next generation cellular network extender, branded as 5BARz® incorporates patented technology to create a highly engineered, single-piece, plug ‘n play unit that strengthens weak cellular signals to deliver higher quality signal for voice, data and video reception on cell phones, and other cellular equipped devices.

 

Products

 

The 5BARz Cellular Network Extender was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, March 2014. Since that time the product has undergone significant product field testing in international locations and improvements during the year, resulting in a product which management consider to be ready for deployment.

This product supports 2G & 3G technologies for cellular devices, and has been designed in configurations which operate on either a single frequency or multiple frequencies. The technology has successfully integrated both send and receive antennae into the single device, and hosts an abundance of features which have never before been integrated into a single portable cellular device.

 

The Company’s initial product, the Road Warrior, won the prestigious 2010 innovation of the year award at CES (the largest consumer electronics show in the world) for achievements in product design and engineering. The Road Warrior, has passed FCC Certification, and has been produced in limited quantities to date by a contract manufacturer in the Philippines. 5BARz current technological developments have eclipsed the original Road Warriors produced.

 

Management at 5BARz are confident that this new cellular device will alleviate much of the frustration experienced by users globally associated with weak or compromised cellular signal. This technology facilitates cellular usage in areas where structures, create “cellular shadows” or weak spots within metropolitan areas, and highly congested areas such as freeways, and also serves to amplify cellular signal as users move away from cellular towers in urban areas.  The market potential of the technology is far reaching.

 

The market opportunity for the 5BARz™ technology represents nearly 7 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide serviced by 900 cellular network operators. These cellular network operators represent the Company’s primary point of entry to the Global marketplace.

 

The 5BARz business opportunity to bring this state of the art technology to market represents a significant step forward in the deployment of micro-cell technology in the industry.

 

 

Company History & Corporate Development

 

5BARz was incorporated on November 17, 2008, is a Nevada Corporation and was a designated shell Company until 2010. In 2010 the Company acquired the “Master Global Marketing and Distribution Rights” for the marketing and distribution of 5BARz™ products throughout the world from CelLynx Inc., a California based Company. In addition to the acquisition of the marketing and distribution rights, the Company acquired a 60% interest in the underlying intellectual property comprising the 5BARz™ products, and holds a security interest over the balance of those assets.

On March 27, 2012, 5BARz acquired a 60% controlling interest in CelLynx Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary CelLynx Inc. Cellynx was the original developer of the core technology underlying the 5BARz business.

On January 12, 2015, 5BARz International, Inc. incorporated another subsidiary Company, 5BARz International, SA DE CV in Mexico. The Company is a 99% owned subsidiary of 5BARz International, Inc. with the remaining 1% owned by Daniel Bland, the CEO of 5BARz International, Inc. The Company has obtained the necessary product approvals for the sale of the 5BARz Road Warrior product in Mexico, and has imported a limited inventory of product for resale in the Country.

On January 12, 2015, 5BARz India Private Limited was incorporated in India, a 99.9% subsidiary of 5BARz International, Inc. The Company has delivered prototype products into India in December 2014, and that product is experiencing very positive test results. The Company has developed interest in the product from Tier 1 cellular network operators in the region, with testing programs in process.

During 2012 and 2013, the Company presented the first version of our product, the “Road Warrior” to Cellular Network operators in order to establish market recognition and interest in the product globally. Having established expressions of interest in the product, in June 2013 the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with a leading cellular network operator. Through that agreement, we established a product development program to deliver a product, designed with our partners input that meets their requirements, in order to integrate the product into their portfolio of solutions for network improvement.

In November 2013, 5BARz set up an Innovation Center in San Diego California, staffed by a talented engineering team and in addition established significant outsourced engineering and fabrication talent internationally. As a result, a state of the art product was developed working with our collaborative partners. The Company is very pleased with the quality of product provided with feature sets that meet and exceed those originally envisioned in our collaboration plan. The Company is equally pleased with the future development programs being developed, which significantly expands the horizons of the Company’s product line and our value proposition to the wireless industry.

As the Company’s newest products commence limited production, for distribution and testing by potential partners in locations around the world, our focus moves to the development of high volume manufacturing to meet global demand. Our manufacturing partner Flextronics represents an industry leader in the design, manufacturing, distribution and aftermarket support of electronic products. Flextronics operates through a network of facilities in more than 30 countries with a global workforce of 200,000. The association with Flextronics is a significant factor in establishing speed to market, and a support infrastructure that can be relied upon and a driver of competitive positioning.

The Market Opportunity

The market opportunity for the 5BARz™ technology represents nearly 7 billion cell phone subscribers worldwide and is growing as a result of the following factors; 

 

· Dead zones, weak signals, and dropped calls are the biggest problems in the industry. Now, by adding internet and video, the quality issue is increasing exponentially.

 

· 76% of cellular subscribers use their mobile phone as the primary phone

 

· More consumers are using mobile phones for web browsing, up and down- loading photos, videos and music

 

· More mobile phones are operating at higher frequencies which have less ability to penetrate buildings

 

· Weak signals make internet applications inaccessible and slow and increase the drain on cell phone batteries.

 

· Forty percent of all mobile phone users report inadequate service in their homes or office and we estimate that 60% of the 6.8 billion mobile phone users worldwide consider continuous connectivity to be very important.

 

Consumer demand for quality in the cell phone user experience is becoming an increasingly important factor. The 5BARz™ technology meets this need. 5BARz is currently developing relationships with Cellular network operators internationally to integrate the 5BARz™ product into cellular networks globally.

 

Why Poor Signals Exist

 

A variety of factors may cause dropped calls and dead zones, including congestion, radio signal interference, tower hand-off, and lack of coverage. Despite continued infrastructure investment by operators, and antenna technology improvements by base station providers and mobile phone makers, these problems will continue for the foreseeable future. This is because many of the contributing factors can't be controlled by the operators and manufacturers. To understand how innovative 5BARz® products are in improving phone signals, it's first important to understand the causes of poor signal quality.

Congestion

In 1999, sales of mobile phones surpassed combined sales of personal computers and automobiles. By 2010, mobile phones had replaced land-line phones in 30% of U.S. households. Smart phones, led by iPhones and Android phones, have become indispensible personal assistants. Laptop computer sales outnumber desktop computer sales, and most laptops are equipped with cellular data chipsets or USB modems. Apple's iPad has sparked the connected tablet market too. Vending machines, automobiles, mobile sensors, and many other devices include "machine to machine" cellular data modules. As a result, the number of cellular voice and data devices will soon exceed the number of people on Earth.

If sheer numbers weren't enough, new uses for mobile devices are causing even faster growth in bandwidth usage. Obvious uses include video entertainment, videoconferencing, downloaded and streaming music, MMS, email, and application downloads. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many other social networking applications put further load on operator networks. Also, surprising sources of traffic have emerged, such as deliberate "miscalls". A miscall is when one subscriber calls another, but hangs up before the receiving party answers. Since operators don't charge for these uncompleted calls, subscribers are using miscalls as a free way to communicate. In India, orders for milk are made this way. In Syria, five miscalls in a row signals the recipient to "go online" to the Internet and chat. In Bangladesh, it's estimated that up to 70% of traffic at peak times is due to miscalls. This practice isn't limited to countries with low per-capita income, and yet it places a high load on operator networks.

There are sources of congestion based on location and time, too. Transportation clusters like airports, major highway intersections, bridges, and toll road gates all bring many people together at peak times. Also, because of home land-line replacement, many residential neighborhoods have many mobile phones in simultaneous use in mornings and evenings. Lastly, local population growth and immigration can result in too many phones for existing infrastructure. Due to long planning times, investment requirements, local government permits, and construction time, it's difficult for infrastructure to keep up with the pace of change in many developing areas, especially in growth countries.

Radio Signal Interference

Interference comes from both obvious and subtle causes. Certain materials aren't transparent to radio signals, especially durable materials used in buildings, large structures, and even automobiles. As a result there are radio shadows in which a mobile phone can't sense the signal from a base station. In addition, radio signals from adjacent channels or reflected signals can interfere with each other due to wave cancellation effects. In some cases these forms of interference primarily attenuate the signal (make it weaker). However, interference can also add noise, so that the ratio of signal to noise becomes too low for the mobile phone and the base station to understand each other.

Tower Hand-Off

Mobile phone networks are called "cellular" networks because they are made up of overlapping areas of coverage that are provided by base stations in fixed locations. As a mobile subscriber travels by automobile or train, he will eventually reach the limit of a base station's coverage. At that point, his mobile phone will "hand off" to a base station for the next coverage area. If signal quality is poor due to interference, or if the new base station is congested with too many mobile phones, the subscriber's connection may be lost.

Lack of Coverage

Some rural or developing areas don't have enough people or population density for operators to justify the cost of installing base stations except at wide intervals. In these areas the signal strength from the base station or the mobile phone may be too low to create or maintain a connection. This results in "dead zones" or dropped calls.

Solutions to Poor Signal Quality

Operators know that dead zones, dropped calls, and poor voice quality are big problems, and that re-dialing while driving can be unsafe. Operators also are concerned about subscribers' ability to make emergency calls. They understand that people rely on mobile phones for business and connecting with family. As mobile phones replace landlines, operators are especially aware that mobile signal quality is critical. Operators also see that wireless data is increasingly important for personal and business use.

To help, operators work with phone and base station manufacturers to improve antenna performance. They invest in new base stations in growth areas. They invest in technologies that enable more connections per base station. Operators have even provided refunds for dropped calls.

However, many factors causing poor signal quality can't be controlled by operators. Therefore products have emerged to help, provided by operators or companies who sell to either operators or subscribers.

Femtocells

Operators can provide femtocells to subscribers with poor signal quality at home. Usually the subscriber pays for hardware, installation, or a monthly fee. Femtocells are carrier grade, and are like small base stations that communicate with operators by using the home Internet connection as a "backhaul". In addition to backhaul the incoming call is routed thru the internet as well, which leads to the degradation of a call when trying to access the internet as well as engaging in a call. Lastly, femtocells only work with phones from one operator, so families with phones from multiple operators may have to request multiple femtocells.

Repeaters

Repeaters are usually carrier-grade equipment and are programmed for a specific operator. They extend cellular networks into buildings and small offices. As with femtocells, installation is complex and if not done properly they can cause network problems. Unlike femtocells, repeaters do not use the local Internet connections, but rather receive and re-transmit the signals between base stations and mobile phones.

Boosters

Boosters are usually sold online and through retail. They vary widely in amplification power, quality of amplification, and power balance. For example, these products amplify signals at 1, 3, 5, or even 10 watts all the time. Using power over 1 watt increases the probability that a booster will interfere with surrounding mobile devices. Also, it would be more energy efficient to adapt amplification power as needed, rather than to simply use the same wattage constantly. Many boosters don't support balanced power in both directions between base station and mobile phone. This may result in only solving the signal quality problem in one direction. Since communication is bi-directional, this doesn't actually solve the problem. Varying quality of amplification also introduces noise, which can interfere with surrounding devices. Further, in order to avoid a feedback loop, Boosters have to be separated into at least two units, a receive and send antennae. The communication between these two units in some applications utilize wires, in others, utilize a 5Mhrtz signal which is high frequency and does not penetrate building structure well, also subject to WiFi interference. These units are costly and require installation effort, to sustain signal quality. The manufacturing cost is more than 2 times that of the 5BARz unit, and they have relatively high power consumption to operate.

A New Class of Solution

5BARz has evaluated the causes of poor signal quality, the needs of both operators and subscribers, and the solutions in the market. Femtocells, repeaters, and boosters either don't solve all parts of the problem, or aren't optimal due to cost or other drawbacks. Using expertise starting with a team of engineers who designed sophisticated base station amplifiers for operators, 5BARz has developed a new class of carrier-grade technology. That engineering team grew to a multi-national teams of engineers working on project specific challenges integrated into the 5BARz® products. The result is a highly engineered hybrid of repeaters and boosters, intended for use in automotive applications, home, and office. 5BARz has tested these products in the lab, in the real world, and with operators. These products advance the state of the art to provide the following advantages:

Low Power Use

5BARz® products only amplify when required. The automotive products use less than 1/2 watt, while the home product uses less than 1 watt. This not only saves energy, but also minimizes interference with other wireless devices and the network itself. In fact, new rules being proposed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission are expected to mandate low power standards such as 5BARz now provides.

Simple Setup

5BARz® products don't require a technician to run wires, carefully determine proper location, or optimize orientation. No use of home Internet connection is required, and there are no switches or settings. The unit has a simple plug and play installation requirement.

Balanced Amplification

This feature, plays a key role in ensuring that the product does not interfere with the macro network, and is a feature covered by the Company’s patented technology. Receive and sent signals need automatic balance management in order for both directions of a communication channel to be improved. 5BARz® products are not only smart about adapting amplification levels, but also about balancing amplification for incoming signals from the base station, and return signals from the mobile phone. This attribute is critical in that it ensures that the operation of the unit automatically avoids interference with the Macro Network. This automated process is a part of the 5BARz® patented technology.

Signal Stability

5BARz has done extensive design, testing, and re-design to avoid a number of problems experienced by the antenna design of alternatives. For example, booster products can experience oscillations when people, animals, or vehicles move nearby. These oscillations can weaken the booster effect or cause interference with other wireless devices. Many booster products achieve size similar to 5BARz®' products by putting antennas close together in the same product package, but don't optimize radio wave interactions between those antennas. This weakens the boosters' effectiveness, and is one reason why other manufacturers compensate by using too much wattage, in turn wasting power and increasing the probability of interfering with other radio frequency devices and the network.

Integrated Antennae

The Company has developed and patented technology which facilitates the integration of both the receive and transmit antenna into the single device, without creating a feedback loop. This represents a very significant technological advance permitting the unit to be a self contained plug and play consumer electronic.

Markets and marketing strategy

 

The Company’s primary entry point to markets is through collaborative arrangements with Cellular Network operators. That market is comprised of nearly 7 billion cellular subscribers globally separated by geographic region as follows;

 

 

The Company has initially embarked upon a multi channel marketing strategy with initial emphasis in Latin America, India and Africa as a direct result of the very favorable factors and the stage of development of the cellular markets in those regions.

 

During 2011 through 2013, the Company introduced the initial product, the Road Warrior, to major wireless operators in Latin America for the purpose of their analysis of the 5BARz™ technology. It is the objective of management, that the 5BARz™ products and technology be integrated into the network infrastructure of selected cellular network operators in the region. The intent is to work with cellular network operators in integrating the fixed cellular network extenders, designed for use in the home or office markets. This fixed unit was first unveiled to the market in February 2014 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain. These efforts have resulted in the development of a collaborative program, the first with a major global network operator in June 2013. This collaborative program has expanded from its inception to date with the Company building product for regions in India and South Africa as well as establishing collaborative arrangements with a greater number of network operators within those regions.

 

The mobile cellular network extenders (Road Warrior’s), which are not carrier specific are to be marketed through more conventional distribution channels.

 

 

 

 

 

16


 
 

 

 

 

In addition, it is the intent of management to design future applications of the Company’s technology that will be integrated into the marketplace through the redesign of the products, working in collaboration with Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM’s), such as with automobile manufacturers, computer manufacturers, mobile home manufacturers etc.

 

 The Company has been expanding its employee/consultant base in India, Latin America, and South Africa due to significant product interest in those regions. Further the Company has set a structure for the development of the German speaking market place in Europe, through a subsidiary operation 5BARz AG in Zurich Switzerland.

 

 The Wireless Market in India

 

With a subscriber base of more than 905 million by March 2014, the Mobile telecommunications system in India is the second largest in the world and has been available to private operators since the 1990s. GSM is comfortably maintaining its position as the dominant mobile technology with 80% of the mobile subscriber market. The mobile market is operated by the following cellular network operators;

The Wireless Market in India – continued

 

On the global stage, India saw the fastest growth in new mobile-phone connections with 18 million net additions in the third quarter of 2014, according to a report by Swedish mobile network equipment maker Ericsson. The number of smartphones, which account for just 37 per cent of all mobile-phone subscriptions, is growing at 15 per cent compounded annual growth rate, and will cross 6,100 million by 2020. The falling cost of handsets, coupled with improved usability and increasing network coverage, are factors that are making mobile technology a popular phenomenon in the country.

 

In December 2014, 5BARz introduced a number of prototype units for use in India, to the Company’s consulting engineering team working in the country for field trials, and then to the R&D department of a select cellular network operator working in the Country. It is the objective of 5BARz to manufacture and distribute the products, working in conjunction with cellular network operators in the country.

 

The following factors are considered to be particularly relevant with respect to the need for the 5BARz products in India.

 

  · In India the monthly churn rate for subscribers is 6% (BMI India Telecommunications Report, 2Q 2012, pp. 49-51). To provide to a cellular network operator a distinct competitive advantage, such as that provided by the 5BARz cellular network extender, could result in a substantive migration of customers to that network operator, and a reduction in churn.

 

  · As provided above, congestion is a prominent issue resulting in the degradation of cellular connectivity. India is the second most populated region in the world, and so the need for the 5BARz technology is most acute.

 

  · Mobile and Wireless Telecommunications issued a report, August 2013 which highlight a number of favorable factors being experienced in the wireless industry in India, which is positive for 5BARz entry into that market as follows;

 

  The government has recently permitted Foreign Direct Investment in the telecom sector
  The industry has moved toward a more friendly regulatory environment
  Burgeoning data usage, has created the need for improved connectivity 
  o Customer’s happiness – A vital cornerstone of any service is the customer. His satisfaction is a direct indicator of running a good business. And this is primarily the service providers’ responsibility. 5BARz is offering to service providers improved connectivity for their customers.

 

The LATAM Market

 

The Company has analyzed the fundamentals of the mobile phone market in the LATAM countries and has determined that to be a key point for market penetration for the 5BARz™ products for the following reasons;

 

First, the mobile phone market has just gone through a very strong decade of growth in Latin America, with mobile subscriptions having overtaken fixed lines as the preferred method of communication. As a result Latin America's mobile telephone industry has a high degree of market penetration. Mobile subscriptions totaled 88.2% of the region's population, compared to 55.2% in Asia Pacific, 90.4% in North America and 50.6% in the Middle East and Africa. Having recently invested heavily in subscription development, the cellular network operators are now focusing upon the maintenance of their substantial customer base, and the 5BARz™ technology can contribute substantially to achieving that customer satisfaction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

18


 
 

 

 

 

The mobile telephone industry in Latin America has benefited from generally opening up to competition. This provides a very fertile ground for the introduction of a technology such as 5BARz™ to secure customer retention through quality of service.

The inherent geographical difficulties in laying fixed line infrastructure have encouraged a move to mobiles, but in addition, that geography, the Andean and Rainforest regions and expanses of rural areas again benefit from the 5BARz™ technology whereby weak cellular signal is amplified within the vicinity of the user.

Further the LATAM countries are experiencing a renewed era of strong growth, reflecting reviving economic growth and improving income levels. This again is a favorable factor for the introduction of our products to meet the growing demands of consumers.

 

In addition, the launch of 3G and mobile broadband services has increased demand for mobile subscriptions. Mobile broadband is particularly desirable in areas with no or limited access to cable internet services. Moving to mobiles offers consumers the benefits of on-the-move communications and advantageous introductory deals. Greater access to communications also helps to narrow regional divides. All of these factors are enhanced by the 5BARz™ experience.

Internet usage is expanding since 2010, with broadband internet subscriptions generally growing by higher rates than mobile subscriptions

 

Initial 3G market expansion is likely to be greater in the region's wealthier markets, such as Argentina, Chile and Mexico, and these have been specifically targeted by our Company. Latam subscribers are;

       Brazil: 271 million

       Mexico: 92.9 million

       Argentina: 56.7 million

       Colombia: 49.1 million

       Venezuela: 27.9 million

       Chile: 21 million

       Other countries: 103 million

       Total: 621 million

 

In 2014, the Company imported 1,000 Road Warrior units into the Region and obtained necessary approval for the sale of those units in Mexico. In January 2015, the Company incorporated a subsidiary company in Mexico to commence sales of that product. The R&D team are currently working on several new and innovative products that will fit the needs of the Region.

 

 The DACH MARKET

The DACH/D-Deutschland or Germany, A-Austria and CH-Switzerland group of countries in the European Union represents one of the most technologically advanced and progressive sectors of that economic group representing a German speaking majority population base of 90.3 million people, comprised of Germany with 78.3 million, Austria, 7.4 million, and Switzerland, 4.6 million. The Company had established a 94.3% owned subsidiary, 5BARz AG to operate the sales, marketing and distribution of the Company’s products in this region of the world, pursuant to an exclusive license agreement. The subsidiary was liquidated in Switzerland but will be re-established in the region once the Company is prepared to commence planned principle operations.

 

The product which 5BARz introduced recently into India, has a technical configuration design which meets the operating requirements for the majority of the 130 million subscribers in this region. The Company has developed the strategic relationships and infrastructure so that it is poised to enter this marketplace as well.

The three months ended September 30, 2015 reflects a net loss of $2,821,772, representing an increase in the loss of $422,465 compared to the corresponding three month period loss of $2,399,307 for the period ended September 30, 2014. The largest component of this increase is interest of $580,494 incurred during the quarter in 2015 which is related to financing by way of convertible debt.

 

The general and administrative costs increased from 2014 to 2015 by $170,001. This amount is the result of a combination of the expansion of time and effort of the investor relations activities which increased by $342,773 comparing with the corresponding period of 2014. In addition, salaries and wages increased by $78,708 reflecting the increasing cost of staff in India. Consulting fees decreased from $163,000 in 2014 compared to $71,387 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $91,613, representing a rationalization of costs in US operations.

 

In addition research and development expenses in 2014 were greater than 2015 by $144,962. This decrease is comprised of a reduction of engineering services (outside engineering consulting) during the quarter from $396,622 in 2014 to $283,632 in 2015 a decrease of $112,990. Further, supplies expense decreased from 2014 to 2015 to make up the difference.

  

The Company’s net loss during the three month period ended September 30, 2015 was $2,821,772 or $0.01 per share compared to a loss of $2,399,307 or $0.01 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 240,991,021 for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 186,700,918 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014..

The nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects a net loss of $8,141,431 representing an increase in the loss of $975,036 compared to the corresponding nine month period loss of $7,166,395 for the period ended September 30, 2014.

 

The significant increase in amortization and depreciation expense is the result of the Company’s policy commencing in September 2014 to amortize the Company’s intellectual property. The provision for amortization in 2015 was $368,798 and was nil in 2014.

 

The general and administrative costs decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 2015 by $774,699. The largest component of this decrease was a reduction of stock based compensation from $624,875 in 2014 to $132,843 in 2015, a reduction of $492,032. The stock based compensation in 2014 arose from the issuance of options to key employees and consultants under the Company Employee Stock Option Plan. The second largest component of this decrease is attributable to consulting fees of $553,019 in 2014 compared to a reduced balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $239,387, a decrease of $313,632.

 

In addition research and development expenses in 2014 were greater than 2015 by $773,786. This decrease in R&D expenses is comprised of a reduction of engineering services (outside engineering consulting) during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $1,152,554 in 2014 to $805,459 in 2015 a decrease of $347,095. Further, supplies expense decreased from 2014 to 2015 from $314,341 to $119,543, a decrease of $194,798. The Company relied less heavily on outside engineering services and supplies after their prototype products were effectively completed.

 

The Company’s net loss during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 was $8,141,431 or $0.04 per share compared to a net loss of $7,166,395 or $0.04 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 222,989,514 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to 173,911,252 for nine month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

The company will require additional capital to meet its’ long term operating requirements. The Company expects to continue to raise additional capital through a multi-faceted strategy to include the further sale of equity securities, sales of equity securities by subsidiary Companies, debt and factoring facilities as the Company’s sales progress.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at September 30, 2015

 

As at September 30, 2015, the reporting issuer’s current assets were $415,227 and current liabilities were $7,926,915, which results in a working capital deficit of $7,511,688. The Company’s working capital deficit at December 31, 2014 was $3,500,797. This represents an increase in the Company’s working capital deficit of $4,010,891 or a 115% increase in the current year. The increase is comprised of two components. First, the Company has made a significant push during the current period in optimizing the performance of prototypes, delivered to Cellular Network operators in India. This resulted in an increase in short term unpaid product development expenses and consulting fees of $1,367,915 over the balance at December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company secured increased debt financing during the quarter, increasing the current liabilities by $1,877,630.

 

As at September 30, 2015, the Company’s total assets were $4,579,282 comprised of intellectual property in the amount of $2,872,799 and goodwill in the amount of $1,140,246. The intellectual property represents the technology, patents and patent applications and trademark registrations and license related to the 5BARz technology by the combined entity.

 

As at September 30, 2015, the Company’s total liabilities were $7,926,915, comprised of current liabilities of $7,926,915 as described above. The increase in liabilities as at September 30, 2015 from year ended December 31, 2014 is related to current liabilities increase as discussed above.

 

Stockholders’ equity decreased from an equity balance at December 31, 2014 of $1,086,931 to a deficit balance of $3,347,636 at September 30, 2015. This decrease of $4,434,567 is attributable in the most part to equity transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $3,706,859 being offset by a loss during the period of $8,141,431.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, net cash flows used in operating activities was $3,027,498 consisting primarily of cash used for product development and administrative expenses.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, net cash flows used in investing activities was $23,854 comprised of additional patent expenditures of $4,908 as well as $18,946 of leasehold improvements.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

The Company has financed operations through the issuance of both debt and equity securities. Convertible notes of $2,169,750 were issued as well as the sale of equity securities in the amount of $1,464,469. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $3,160,447 compared to $4,071,429 in the corresponding period of the prior year. This differential is the result of a decrease in the sales of equity securities and the pricing of those sales, due to a decrease in the market price of securities. The market for the Company’s stock has limited liquidity and as a result pricing is relatively volatile.

Plan of Operation and Funding

 

The Company has entered into a series of private placements over the past several years to finance operations. Existing working capital, further sales of debt and equity securities, funding through the sale of equity securities from subsidiary operations and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt and an increase in liabilities due from individuals and businesses that work with the Company. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) development and marketing of our product; and (ii) working capital. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities. As the market for product commences in India the Company is working on the development of a $20 million dollar equity sale in the India operations through an investment bank in India. Further, should the Company’s market for securities exceed $0.30 per share, the Company has 97.8 million warrants in the hands of existing stockholders. Consideration is being given to filing an S1 registration statement to qualify those warrants to provide for a financing facility for the Company through the exercise of those securities. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

 

Material Commitments

 

On January 11, 2011, the Company assumed a material commitment to CelLynx Group, Inc. to make available under the terms of a line of credit agreement $2.2 million dollars, expiring October 5, 2013. On September 30, 2013 the Company agreed to extend the funding of CelLynx Group, Inc. under the terms of an amended Line of Credit Agreement. At the date of the extension of the line of credit agreement, the balance due to 5BARz International, Inc. was $2,503,764. This is a subsidiary Company, and this funding will be paid when proceeds are available. The commitment to fund and debts provided under the line of credit agreement mature in the lesser of one year or when CelLynx earns sufficient royalty income to become self sustaining. The line of credit agreement matured on September 30, 2014. The balance due to 5BARz International, Inc., by its subsidiary Company, Cellynx Group, Inc., under the line of credit agreement, principle and interest on September 30, 2015 was $3,065,490. This amount is eliminated on consolidation of the subsidiary in the Financial Statements of the combined entity.

 

On July 24, 2013 the Company entered into a lease agreement in San Diego for facilities, which commenced on October 1, 2013.  In August 2014 the Company entered into a further commitment to expand the Companies leased facilities in San Diego for a period of 66 months. As a result, at September 30, 2015, the future minimum lease payments for the existing and expanded facilities will be $1,286,338.

   

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Going Concern

 

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in its report relating to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, which states that we have incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception, and expect to incur additional losses in the future and have a substantial accumulated deficit. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to expand operations and generate additional revenue and our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We have prepared our financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.

 

Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2014 and its adoption resulted in the additional disclosures in Note 1, reflecting management’s assessment of the mitigating effect of management’s plans on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In April, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 on “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt issuance costs” The ASU changes the presentation of debt issue costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Amortization of the cost is reported as an interest expense. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial statements. At that time the Company would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods.

 

 

 

24


 
 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “ Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ”, that requires inventory not measured using either the last in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU effective December 31, 2015 upon issuance of its annual audited financial statements. At that time the Company would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain other accounting standards, updates, and regulations as of March 31, 2015 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected our financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2015 or 2014, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements at the time they become effective.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets

 

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. The Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

 

When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for some or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of our reporting units and perform a detailed quantitative test of impairment (step 1). If the Company performs the detailed quantitative impairment test and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform an analysis (step 2) to measure such impairment. In 2013, the Company first performed a qualitative assessment to identify and evaluate events and circumstances to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the Company’s qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying value of its intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was deemed to exist as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

25


 
 

 

 

 

Long-Lived Assets Subject to Amortization

 

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews them for impairment annually or whenever an impairment exists. The Company continually evaluates whether events or changes in circumstances might indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision, or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. There were no long-lived assets impairment charges recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Transactions in foreign currencies have been translated into US dollars using the temporal method. The functional currency of the Company’s former subsidiary 5BARz AG, is its local currency (Swiss Franc – CHF). The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz International SA de CV, in Mexico is the local currency, the Mexican Peso, and the functional currency in the Company’s subsidiary 5BARz India Private Limited is the functional currency in India, the Indian Rupee. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets have been translated at the historical rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Expenses have been translated at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

 

 Derivative Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the 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 statement of operations as other income (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. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not have substantial operations at this time so they are not susceptible to these market risks.  If, however, they begin to generate substantial revenue, their operations will be materially impacted by interest rates and market prices.

 

 

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls also is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of certain events, and there can no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, these are only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United State’s generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

27


 
 

 

  

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on this assessment, Management concluded the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than consequential.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015, and this assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the company’s internal control over financial reporting:

 

•   A system of internal controls (including policies and procedures) has neither been designed nor implemented.

 

•   A formal, internal accounting system has not been implemented.

 

•   Segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipts, and cash disbursements is not formalized.

 

Therefore, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls to lessen the issue of segregation of duties.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation other than those articulated below. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company, other than those articulated below.

 

Prior to the Company’s investment in CelLynx, on July 19, 2010 certain claims for unpaid wages were filed against CelLynx, Inc. Judgments were obtained commencing in August 2011 for back wages by some of its former employees. Some of those claims have been partially paid and others were expected to be paid in the normal course of business or were to be otherwise defended. Those claims have now been incorporated into California Labor Commission awards in favor of those former employees. Those awards total approximately $263,000 depending on interest charges. It is the Company’s intention to pay these amounts.  As of June 30, 2015, the Company accrued $263,000 in its financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

 

Need For Additional Financing

 

The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of current and planned business opportunities. Even if the Company's funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete upon transactions contemplated, the Company may not have enough capital to fully develop the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. As additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited.

 

Ability to continue as a going concern

 

The Company has incurred net losses of $8,141,431 and $7,166,395 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company has earned no revenues to date.  Consequently the Company’s future is dependent upon their ability to obtain financing and to execute upon their business plan and to create future profitable operations for the business.  These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Company cannot raise further debt or equity capital, or achieve profitable operations, the Company may have to liquidate their business interests and investors may lose their investment.

 

Lack of profitable operating history

 

The Company faces all of the risks of a new business and the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, and involvement in a new business opportunity. The Company must be regarded as a new or "start-up" venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject, and consequently has a high risk or failure.   

We may be subject to significant foreign currency exchange controls in certain countries in which we operate

 

Certain foreign economies have experienced shortages in foreign currency reserves and their respective governments have adopted restrictions on the ability to transfer funds out of the country and convert local currencies into U.S. dollars. This may increase our costs and limit our ability to convert local currency into U.S. dollars and transfer funds out of certain countries. Any shortages or restrictions may impede our ability to convert these currencies into U.S. dollars and to transfer funds, including for the payment of dividends or interest or principal on our outstanding debt. In the event that any of our subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to us due to currency restrictions, we are responsible for any resulting shortfall.

 

Our foreign operations subject us to risks that could negatively affect our business

 

Our business can be exposed to risks inherent in foreign operations.  These risks, which can vary substantially by market, include political instability, corruption, social and ethnic unrest, changes in economic conditions (including wage and commodity inflation, consumer spending and unemployment levels), the regulatory environment, tax rates and laws and consumer preferences as well as changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment in other countries.

 

In addition, the value of our foreign assets is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect reported earnings.  There can be no assurance as to the future effect of any such changes on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Dependence upon a sole director and limited management and consultants

 

The Company currently has only one individuals serving as its officer and director, and few employees and consultants. The Company will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities to implement its business plan, and secure additional personnel and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to fully meet the needs of the business of the Company results in a delay in progress toward implementing its business plan.

 

 

30


 
 

 

 

 

 

We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case investors' shareholdings may be diluted

 

Since our inception, we have relied on sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current operations. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders.  We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors' percentage interests in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of current investors' stock.

 

Regulation of Penny Stocks

 

The Company's securities are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker- dealers to sell the Company's securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.

 

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them. 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although the Company does not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to the Company's securities.

  

Our common stock is not listed on a national exchange and as a public market develops in the future, it may be limited and highly volatile, which may generally affect any future price of our common stock

 

Our common stock currently is listed only in the over-the-counter market on the OTCBB, which is a reporting service and not a securities exchange.  We cannot assure investors that in the future our common stock would ever qualify for inclusion on any of the NASDAQ markets for our common stock, The American Stock Exchange or any other national exchange or that more than a limited market will ever develop for our common stock.  The lack of an orderly market for our common stock may negatively impact the volume of trading and market price for our common stock. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

31


 
 

 

 

Any future prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the following:

 

  the depth and liquidity of the markets for our common stock;

 

  investor perception of 5BARz International Inc. and the industry in which we participate;

 

  general economic and market conditions;

 

  statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the market in which we do business or relating to us specifically, as has occurred in the past;

 

  quarterly variations in our results of operations;

 

  general market conditions or market conditions specific to technology industries; and

 

  domestic and international macroeconomic factors.

 

In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.  These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies.  As a result of the factors identified above, a stockholder (due to personal circumstances) may be required to sell his shares of our common stock at a time when our stock price is depressed due to random fluctuations, possibly based on factors beyond our control.

 

Impracticability of Exhaustive Investigation

 

The Company's limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of its chosen business opportunity before the Company commits its capital or other resources thereto. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable. 

Other Regulation

 

The Company may be subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the Company.

 

Failure to Perform

 

The Company may be unable to comply with the payment terms of certain agreements providing the Company with the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights to 5BARz product. In the event that the Company defaults on such agreements, the Company may be unable to maintain operations as a going concern.

 

Reliance on Third parties

 

The Company has entered into certain agreements related to the exclusive sales marketing and distribution rights. In the event that the production Company is unable or unwilling for any reason to supply product under the terms of such agreement, the Company may not be able distribute product or may have business interrupted as they secure alternative production facilities.

 

Competitive Technologies

 

The Companies technology relates to a market that is highly competitive and a much sought after solution by cellular networks. The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. The Company is subject to technological obsolescence should other technologies be developed which are superior to the Companies technology.
