Item 1. Business

 

Company Overview

 

We, through our wholly owned subsidiary Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals Inc., are a pharmaceutical research and development (“R&D”) company that has developed and patented an innovative polymer delivery system, Invisicare® and formulated over forty topical skin products, which we out-license globally. We were incorporated in 1998, and target an estimated $80 billion global skincare and dermatology market and a $30 billion global over-the-counter market as well as other healthcare / medical and consumer goods markets.

 

With the research and development complete on forty products and numerous patents issued (technology and product patents), we are ready to monetize our investment. Our business model will continue to be to out-license our patented prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) products featuring Invisicare to established manufacturers and marketers of brands internationally and to maximize profits from the products we have already out-licensed. We have also formed a commercial subsidiary, Kintari USA Inc., in order to take our cosmeceutical and select OTC products with Invisicare to market.

 

The opportunity for us to license our products continues to be a viable model as the need for pharmaceutical companies to access external R&D companies for new products due to their own down-sizing or elimination of internal R&D departments. The demand for our products is enhanced due to the granting of key US and international patents and the completed development of a number of unique products.

 

Our Flagship Product

 

Pivotal to our success is our patented polymer delivery system technology Invisicare. Invisicare is a patented polymer delivery system that enhances the delivery of active ingredients for topically applied skin care products. Its patented technology has a unique formula and process for combining active ingredients with a delivery system that extends the duration of time the product remains on the skin and active.

Invisicare is specifically formulated to carry water insoluble active and certain cationic active ingredients in water-based products without the use of alcohol, silicones, waxes, or other organic solvents. Products utilizing Invisicare have the proven ability to bond active ingredients to the skin for up to four hours and longer. They are non-occlusive and allow normal skin respiration and perspiration while moisturizing and protecting against exposure from a wide variety of environmental irritants.

When topically applied, these formulated products adhere to the skin's outer layers, forming a protective bond, resisting wash-off, and delivering targeted levels of therapeutic or cosmetic skincare agents to the skin. They allow enhanced delivery performance for a variety of skincare agents resulting in improved efficacy, longer duration of action, reduced irritation and lower dosage of active agent required. The "invisible" polymer compositions wear off as part of the natural exfoliation process of the skin's outer layer cells.

 

The advantage of products formulated with Invisicare is (1) Invisicare’s ability to bind active ingredients (the drug) to the skin, forming a protective bond on the skin, for extended periods of time - some up to eight hours or more; (2) Invisicare can deliver targeted levels (high or low) of therapeutic or cosmetic ingredients to the skin in a controlled release; (3) Invisicare can help to reduce the irritation of some active ingredients due to how it controls the slower

 

 

release of that active ingredient; and (4) Invisicare science proves that it provides a protective skin barrier which helps retain the natural moisture content of the skin, while still allowing it to breathe. These benefits present an excellent opportunity for clear scientific advantages and marketing messages which resonate with physicians and consumers.

 

The Market

 

The dermatology market is large, with over 80% of Americans affected by some kind of skin condition in their lifetime. The worldwide market for dermatology products including prescription, OTC and cosmeceuticals is estimated at $80 billion.

 

Company History

 

We formed Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Skinvisible”), in March 1998 and purchased the exclusive worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights for a polymer delivery system invention now called Invisicare® from the inventor for $2 million. We have continued to develop the Invisicare technology and subsequent product development resulting in over seven series of Invisicare and over forty unique, patented formulations offering distinctive benefits that differentiate them significantly from other leading products in the marketplace.

 

What We Do

 

We have positioned ourselves in the $80 billion worldwide prescription and over-the-counter dermatology and skincare market. We generate revenue by:

 

• LICENSING: We develop topical prescription and over-the-counter products enhanced with Invisicare to license to pharmaceutical and consumer goods companies around the world for an upfront fee and ongoing royalties;
• DIRECT SALES: We develop topical over-the-counter products enhanced with Invisicare to sell directly into the market through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kintari USA Inc.
• CO-DEVELOPMENT: We assist pharmaceutical clients in the early development of the most optimal formulation, which they then take forward into clinical testing;
• LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT: We provide cost-effective solutions to global pharmaceutical companies by reformulating their products coming off patent with a new Invisicare patent and new product benefits and line extensions. Pharmaceutical companies are under a lot of pressure to develop innovative strategies to counteract the revenue loss from their drugs coming off patent.

 

Corporate Ownership

 

We are a publicly traded company under the symbol SKVI, listed on the OTC Bulletin Board since February 1999 and currently trading on the OTCQB in the US.

 

We carry on business primarily through our wholly owned subsidiaries: Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Kintari USA Inc., both Nevada corporations.

 

Patents

 

We have fourteen patents granted, including comprehensive patents on Invisicare, the foundation of all of our products; three in the US, and internationally in Canada, Europe (4), China, India, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. The Invisicare patents cover manufacturing, composition and use. Additionally, we have been granted three product specific patents in the US for dermal barrier products, sunscreens (photostability of avobenzone) and retinoids (stabilization). There are a number of U.S. and international (PCT) patents pending, with many more patent applications in progress. Some of these patents cover up to five products.

 

Our value lies in our ability to continually generate new IP on dermatology and medical products formulated with Invisicare. Patent approvals are sought (initially in the U.S. and later internationally) for all products developed. All patents with Invisicare are owned by us.

 

 

Trademarks

 

When developing new products using Invisicare, we file for both patent and trademark protection. We have been granted trademarks in the U.S. and Canada for the following names:

 

- Skinvisible® w Invisicare® w JUSTCARE® w Work Gluv® w Bare Sunless Tanning® w Kintari® w Skinbrella®

 

Revenue generation: We receive a combination of five revenue streams including:

 

Research and development fees;; Upfront license fee; Ongoing royalties based on product sales; Licensees purchase Invisicare polymers from us. The polymers make up 6-8% of each final product formulation for OTC and cosmetic formulas and less for prescription formulas. Sales of our cosmeceutical product line through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kintari USA Inc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strategic Growth Opportunities

 

Our growth strategy is to:

 

1.

Generate revenue from direct sales of our cosmeceutical/OTC product line;

 

2.

Capitalize on the success of current licensees;

 

3.

Increase the value of our current pipeline; and

 

4.

Boost licensing revenues by securing additional licensees globally and develop a robust royalty revenue stream that will finance our future growth.

 

1.

Kintari USA Inc.:

 

On September 9, 2014, we formed Kinatri USA Inc., a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Kintari International Inc., wholly-owned subsidiary of Skinvisible Inc., to market a premium line of scientifically formulated skincare products powered by our patented Invisicare® technology. The company was officially launched January 15, 2015. As part of our strategic focus on revenue generation and creating shareholder value, Kintari USA Inc. products will be sold via network marketing. The products will be sold initially in the US and then in Canada in 2016.

 

The Kintari product portfolio consists of 2 anti-aging products to help fight the signs of aging and a broad spectrum sunscreen along with our newest product: Kintari’s Hand & Body lotion. All products are made with our patented Invisicare technology.

 

 

Our anti-aging products have been developed using proven anti-aging ingredients with scientific evidence of their effectiveness at reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles resulting in youthful looking skin. These potent ingredients will be powered by patented Invisicare technology, providing consumers with unique, effective products which we believe cannot be duplicated.

 

Additionally, we sell a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen known as Skinbrella®. We completed independent testing in early 2014 to validate our broad spectrum sunscreen claims according to the labeling guidelines of the FDA, which are designed to help reduce the incidents of skin cancer in the U.S. Our claims are as follows:

 

 

 

• Claim # 1 – Broad-Spectrum: According to the FDA, in order for a sunscreen to be labeled “broad spectrum” it must prove it protects against both UVA and UVB rays by having an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 15 and a critical wave length of at least 370 nm. Our sunscreen has surpassed both of these criteria, allowing our broad spectrum sunscreen label to also state “prevents sunburn, skin cancer and aging due to the sun.”

 

• Claim # 2 – Water-Resistant 80 Minutes: The FDA sunscreen water resistant claim requires that a sunscreen must have the same SPF after being in water or sweating for 40 or 80 minutes. Our testing was conducted at an independent laboratory specializing in sunscreen testing. The test involved human subjects that applied sunscreen to their arm, followed by the immersion of the arm into a Jacuzzi for 80 minutes (10 minutes in / 10 minutes out). Our sunscreen successfully completed this testing and is allowed to use “Water-resistant for 80 Minutes” on its sunscreen label, the longest length of time allowed by the FDA.

 

• Claim # 3 – Unique Patented Technology / Eight-Hour Photostability: As previously announced, we were granted a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office entitled “Sunscreen Composition with Enhanced UVA Absorber Stability and Methods”, which provides protection until November 2029. Skinvisible successfully formulated a unique Invisicare® delivery system specifically for stabilizing avobenzone; the key sunscreen used in the USA. Data submitted to the US patent office proved that our sunscreen provides a minimum of eight hours of photostability.

 

Our Hand & Body Lotion is formulated with five moisturizers including aloe, shea butter, glycerin, coconut oil and jojoba oil, and to help smooth your skin the powerful antioxidant Vitamin E. These ingredients restore and nourish your skin from head to toe.

 

2.

Capitalize On Current Licensees:

 

We have licensees around the globe. Two of these licensees are currently in the marketplace: Avon Products globally and Women’s Choice Pharmaceuticals in the United States.

 

We continue to work diligently with our licensees to ensure they have a smooth manufacturing process, ongoing R&D support and marketing feedback.

 

 

 

Avon Products, Inc: Product: We have a long-term contract with Avon globally for over ten years to provide Invisicare polymer for their long-lasting lipsticks.   Sales: Invisicare polymers are purchased directly from Skinvisible.

Women’s Choice Pharmaceuticals: Product: ProCort®, long lasting prescription hemorrhoid cream launched in the United States August 2011.   Sales and Royalties: Skinvisible receives a royalty based on net sales of ProCort. This past year Women's Choice Pharmaceuticals LLC partnered with Advanced Medical Enterprises, LLC to market ProCort® in Puerto Rico. With over thirty pharmaceutical sales reps calling on OBGYNs in the US, Women’s Choice has been successfully growing their sales of ProCort® and we look forward to increased growth in 2016. Women’s Choice is seeking to form other strategic alliances in order to increase its sales efforts by targeting new territories and targeting medical specialists which previously were not called upon.

 

Product Updates:

 

We have additional information on specific products which add value to Skinvisible’s product pipeline.

 

DermSafe® Hand Sanitizer Skinvisible’s hand sanitizer formulated with Invisicare® and chlorhexidine gluconate has received registration in Belgium on behalf of Skinvisible. This registration allows Skinvisible to make DermSafe® available in most of Europe through a simple registration process. We are currently seeking licensees and/or distributors to begin the sale of DermSafe in the EU. This registration has recently been granted for a ten year term to expire in 2024. We expect that the product will be sold through Kintari Canada Inc. when it launches in 2016.

Sunless Tanning Products: We have developed a new sunless tanning mousse / foam which uses a unique foam with Invisicare®, developed specifically for its foaming properties. This adds to Skinvisible’s line of sunless tanning products which includes sunless tanning lotions (light, medium and dark), pre-sun moisturizer and after-sun moisturizer along with sunless tanning spray products for commercial use. The addition of a sunless tanning mousse enhances this line of products.

 

Sunscreen Products: We have developed 3 broad spectrum sunscreens, with SPF 15, 30 and 50 (the highest SPF allowed by the FDA). All are formulated with Avobenzone, the only UVA sun filter allowed under the US FDA monograph. This UVA/UVB sunscreen was granted a patent from the United States patent office in 2013. Avobenzone is known for breaking down in the sun after only two hours – thus the requirement to reapply every 2 hours. Skinvisible’s patent was granted based on Invisicare's® minimum 8 hour photo stability. For countries outside the United States, Skinvisible has additionally patented UVA/UVB sunscreens formulated with Tinosorb S.

 

 

3.

Increasing The Value Of Skinvisible’s Pipeline: Clinical Enhancement Of Pipeline

 

We have a pipeline of over forty products which are available for licensing. Testing is conducted in-house generating proof of concept including release of the active ingredient as well as long term shelf life (stability). Additional studies conducted on specific products including skin sensitivity, toxicity and product efficacy are outsourced to FDA compliant laboratories. These studies are critical in attracting potential licensees. Our clinical strategy is to:

 

• Our clinical strategy is to find a partner for our prescription product portfolio. This would allow for a partner to seek FDA approval using the 505b2 pathway for one or more of our products.

 

• Launch of our DermSafe® hand sanitizer in Canada under Kintari. In 2013, we commissioned an independent laboratory to further analyze the long-term effectiveness of DermSafe® when put in contact with two bacteria; the “super bug” MRSA and E. coli, the “restaurant bug” since it is often transmitted by food and food handlers. The long-term effectiveness of two bacteria; Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA (ATCC #33591) and Escherichia coli or E. coli (ATCC #43888") were tested up to four hours after application. The results showed that the individual arms of subjects which had DermSafe® applied and were even rinsed prior to each bacteria challenge, showed a 95.83% reduction at the 4 hour time point for MRSA and 99.38% for E. coli. In 2013, we obtained the registration rights for DermSafe® in Belgium. This designation allows for the sale and/ or registration of DermSafe in most EU countries. A strategy is being developed along with a larger global strategy to bring DermSafe to the EU and. Skinvisible has also commissioned further testing of DermSafe against the (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV); a SARS-like virus and the avian influenza A virus, H7N9.

 

• We continue to look for avenues to obtain orphan drug status for our Netherton syndrome product. Netherton syndrome is a disease caused by a genetic defect which causes the skin to continually exfoliate, never forming a skin bond. This leaves the patient highly susceptible to infection and dealing with a life-long condition that has no cure. Our product has shown excellent results in lab studies blocking the enzyme that breaks down the skin and we are seeking “Orphan Drug” designation in both the US (FDA) and Europe (EMA). We have reformulated our product to better meet the demands of this very debilitating disease and are undergoing preliminary proof-of-concept investigations on Netherton syndrome.

 

The advantages of obtaining Orphan Drug designation is that it provides various incentives including a reduction or elimination of registration and market authorization fees, protocol assistance, and seven years of market exclusivity for the product in the US and ten years in Europe. There can be no assurances that our project will be successful.

 

4.

Secure Additional Licensees:

 

We are in discussions and undergoing internal discussions with various pharmaceutical companies for licenses.

 

To facilitate further expansion, we are seeking an exclusive license with a proven US or global based Pharmaceutical Company for our existing Rx product formulations. The licensee would be expected to pay all costs in getting FDA approval. The licensee would pay Skinvisible for the license in milestone payments as Clinical Phases are proven.

 

Invisicare Formulations

 

Our forty products have been successfully tested in-house to show proof of concept and are ready to be licensed. We continue to develop other prescription, OTC and cosmeceutical products in response to the needs of the marketplace.

 

 

Product patent applications are immediately filed on newly developed products. FDA regulatory approvals are required for prescription products while OTC products have limited requirements. Cosmetic-type products, products without therapeutic claims and OTC products that follow the FDA monograph, are immediately available for marketing. In Canada, OTC products follow the Health Canada monograph requiring only the submission of a DIN registration.

We have over 40 products developed and available for licensing:

Research and Development

 

Our facilities include a research and development laboratory, headed by James Roszell PhD, where we continue to enhance our current product offerings and to develop a variety of new product formulations with Invisicare for out-licensing.

 

Our R&D focus is centered on the following initiatives:

 

§

We continue to expand our product development beyond the dermatology market into other areas including women’s health, orphan drugs, pain management and surgical;

 

§

To increase the value of our prescription products, with additional testing on our most lucrative prescription products in order to provide independent validation and verification of our product claims. We utilize FDA compliant, independent laboratories with extensive qualifications for carrying out investigative product studies, utilizing protocols incorporating Good Lab Practice and Good Clinical Practice ("GLP/GCP") standards;

 

§

We have successfully developed a unique product for Netherton syndrome and are seeking orphan drug status for this product. Additional studies are required in order to receive approval as an orphan drug in the United States and Europe.

 

 

We have also completed preliminary development of a new Invisicare technology which will provide transdermal delivery of drugs. This new transdermal delivery system will allow us to enter the very lucrative markets of hormone replacement therapy, neurological treatment, nicotine cessation and others.

Sales and Marketing Plan

 

Our Licensing Strategy

 

As stated above, we are seeking a proven US based Pharmaceutical company to license all our prescription products and for them to seek FDA approval. This would be an exclusive licensing agreement and allow management to focus on developing Kintari while our research department continues to support the Pharmaceutical Company.

 

Competition

 

Market research indicates there is reasonably limited direct competition for Invisicare and patented products in terms of performance capabilities for topically administered skin products. Many companies are seeking unique delivery systems to enhance their portfolio and purchasing companies that have delivery technology.

 

Some of the companies involved in developing delivery technology are listed below. However, none of these competitors offer the same advantages of Invisicare principally the “long-term staying power” and the ability to control the release of active ingredients on the skin.

 

• GSK through its subsidiary, Stiefel Laboratories Inc., purchased Connetics Corporation for approximately $640 million in the fall of 2006. (Subsequently in 2009, Stiefel, with $900 million in sales, was purchased by GlaxoSmithKline for $3.9 billion – at 4 times revenue). Connetics has a patented foam delivery technology.

 

• Foamix Ltd is a drug development company with its head office in Israel. It has developed five platforms which use a foam delivery technology and is used in products like Rogaine®.

 

• A.P. Pharma sold its acne and actinic keratosis products made with its patented Microsponge® delivery system to two companies for a reported $30 million; Johnson & Johnson purchased the Retin-A Micro® product line, with revenues of $110 million in the US in 2006 and sanofi-aventis purchased Carac®, a product used to treat actinic keratosis, with $11 million in sales in 2001.

 

Government Regulation

 

Cosmetic and Skin Care Regulation

 

Depending upon product claims and formulation, skin care products may be regulated as cosmetics, drugs, devices, or combination cosmetics and drugs. We currently only market cosmetic skin care products and are evaluating entry into the pharmaceutical market. The FDA has authority to regulate cosmetics marketed in the United States under the FDCA and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (“FPLA”) and implementing regulations. The Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) regulates the advertising of cosmetics under the FTCA.

 

The FDCA prohibits the marketing of adulterated and misbranded cosmetics. Cosmetic ingredients must also comply with the FDA’s ingredient, quality, and labeling requirements and the FTC’s requirements pertaining to truthful and non-misleading advertising. Cosmetic products and ingredients, with the exception of color additives, are not required to have FDA premarket approval. Manufacturers of cosmetics are also not required to register their establishments, file data on ingredients, or report cosmetic-related injuries to the FDA.

 

We will be responsible for substantiating the safety and product claims of the cosmetic products and ingredients before marketing. The FDA or FTC may disagree with our characterization of one or more of the skin care products as a cosmetic or the product claims. This could result in a variety of enforcement actions which could require the reformulation or relabeling of our products, the submission of information in support of the product claims or the safety and effectiveness of our products, or more punitive action, all of which could have a material adverse effect

 

 

on our business. If the FDA determines we have failed to comply with applicable requirements under the FDCA or FPLA, it can impose a variety of enforcement actions from public warning letters, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties to seizure of our products, total or partial shutdown of our production, and criminal prosecutions. If any of these events were to occur, it could materially adversely affect us. If the FTC determines we have failed to substantiate our claims, it can pursue a variety of actions including disgorgement of profits, injunction from further violative conduct, and consent decrees.

 

Orphan Drug Designation

 

We are seeking “Orphan Drug” designation in both the US and Europe for a product to treat a rare skin condition called Netherton syndrome. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which generally is a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Orphan drug designation must be requested before submitting a New Drug Application, or NDA. If the FDA grants orphan drug designation, which it may not, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are publicly disclosed by the FDA. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process. If a product which has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first FDA approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to seven years of orphan drug exclusivity, meaning that the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same indication for a period of seven years, except in limited circumstances, such as a showing of clinical superiority to the product with orphan exclusivity (superior efficacy, safety, or a major contribution to patient care). Orphan drug designation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for that indication. We have not received orphan drug status for any of our products.

 

Under European Union medicines laws, the criteria for designating a product as an “orphan medicine” are similar but somewhat different from those in the United States. A drug is designated as an orphan drug if the sponsor can establish that the drug is intended for a life-threatening or chronically debilitating condition affecting no more than five in 10,000 persons in the European Union or that is unlikely to be profitable, and if there is no approved satisfactory treatment or if the drug would be a significant benefit to those persons with the condition. Orphan medicines are entitled to ten years of marketing exclusivity, except under certain limited circumstances comparable to United States law. During this period of marketing exclusivity, no “similar” product, whether or not supported by full safety and efficacy data, will be approved unless a second applicant can establish that its product is safer, more effective or otherwise clinically superior. This period may be reduced to six years if the conditions that originally justified orphan designation change or the sponsor makes excessive profits.

 

Domestic State and Local Government Regulation

 

Some states and local governments in the United States regulate the labeling, operation, sale, and distribution of our skin care products. To the extent additional state or local laws apply, we intend to comply with them.

 

Foreign Government Regulation

 

In general, we will need to comply with the government regulations of each individual country in which our products are to be distributed and sold. These regulations vary in complexity and can be as stringent, and on occasion even more stringent, than FDA regulations in the United States. The level of complexity and stringency is not always precisely understood today for each country, creating greater uncertainty for the international regulatory process. Furthermore, government regulations can change with little to no notice and may result in up-regulation of our product(s), thereby creating a greater regulatory burden for us. We have not yet thoroughly explored the applicable laws and regulations that we will need to comply with in foreign jurisdictions. As a result it is possible that we may not be permitted to sell our products in foreign markets or expand our business into one or more foreign jurisdictions.

 

Environmental Laws

 

We are not subject to any significant or material environmental regulation in the normal operation of our business.

 

  

Employees

 

We currently have four employees, including our sole officer Terry Howlett.

Subsidiaries

 

We conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Kintari USA Inc.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

Currently, we do not own any real estate. We are leasing our executive offices and research facility. We are located at 6320 South Sandhill Road, Suite 10, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120. We signed an addendum to our lease on November 9, 2015, which extends the term until February 28, 2017. Rent is $2,858 per month plus all applicable CAM charges.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of February 18, 2016, we had 117,001,969 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 184 shareholders of record, other than those held in street name.

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1.	we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2.	our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue from product sales, royalties on patent licenses and license fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $174,635, an increase from $54,923 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was mainly due to an increase in product sales. With the launch of Kintari USA Inc., we expect increased revenue from our line of anti-aging products and select over-the-counter products.

 

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Our cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased to $56,898 from the prior year when cost of revenues was $26,485. Our cost of revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2015 over the prior year period as a result of increased product sales. We expect this trend to continue with sales from Kintari USA Inc.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $117,737, or approximately 67% of sales. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $28,438, or approximately 51% of sales. We expect this trend to continue into 2016.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $1,198,284 for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $1,194,673 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages of $328,931, salaries and wages of $185,911, commissions of $133,215, consulting fees of $131,301, travel of $73,745, depreciation and amortization expenses of $58,008, rent of $43,478 and accounting and audit expenses of $35,092. In comparison, our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted mainly of salaries and wages of $214,223, accrued salaries and wages of $224,336, consulting fees of $167,685, commissions of $94,690, research and development of $56,517, legal fees of $44,205, rent of $41,868, depreciation and amortization expenses of $40,421, accounting and audit expenses of $37,069, payroll tax expenses of $32,418, travel expenses of $26,618, office expenses of $18,548, medical expenses of $18,516, dues and subscriptions of $16,780, director fees of $14,400 and meals and entertainment of $13,767.

 

Other Expenses

We had other expenses of $909,664 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared with other expenses of $760,098 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This was largely the result of $915,214 we paid in interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $755,488 in the prior period ended December 31, 2014.

We expect to continue to experience high interest payments in the future as a result of our outstanding liabilities. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues and/or additional financing to service this debt, there is a risk the lenders will call the notes and we will be unable to repay the loans. If this happens, we could go out of business.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1,990,211 compared to net loss of $1,926,333 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2015, we had total current assets of $97,117 and total assets in the amount of $400,530. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2015 were $5,626,625. We had a working capital deficit of $5,529,508 as of December 31, 2015.

 

Operating activities used $852,735 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared with $1,167,723 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our net loss of $1,990,211 was the main component of our negative operating cash flow, offset mainly by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $470,070, an amortization of debt discount of 412,006, and an increase in accrued interest of $191,136.

 

Cash flows used by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2015 was $5,726, as compared with $71,173 for the year ended December 31, 2014, both as a result of the purchase of fixed and intangible assets.

 

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $661,859 and mainly consisted of $436,000 in proceeds on notes payable, $232,500 in proceeds from convertible debt and $80,000 in proceeds from the sale of our common stock, offset by $94,500 in payments on notes payable.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into twenty-four 9% notes payable to investors and received total proceeds of $1,000,000. The notes are due two years from the anniversary date of execution. The Notes are secured by the US Patent rights granted for the Company's Sunscreen Products: US patent number #8,128,913: "Sunscreen Composition with Enhanced UV-A Absorber Stability and Methods." As of September 30, 2015 several notes had reached their initial maturity date. All note holders executed agreements extending the note for an additional 12 months upon the same terms.

 

On May 19, 2014, we approved a financing plan to offer accredited investors up to an additional $1,000,000 in secured promissory notes. For the period from May 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015, we entered into forty 9% notes payable to investors and received total proceeds of $1,346,000. The notes are due two years from the anniversary date of execution. The Notes are secured by the US Patent rights granted for the Company's Sunscreen Products: US patent number #8,128,913: "Sunscreen Composition with Enhanced UV-A Absorber Stability and Methods".

 

On July 28, 2015, we entered into a convertible promissory note pursuant to which we borrowed $47,500. Interest under the convertible promissory note is 8% per annum, and the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due on April 30, 2016. The note is convertible at any time following 180 days after the issuance date at noteholders option into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price of 58% of the lowest average three day market price of our common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the notice of conversion, subject to adjustment as described in the note.

 

The holder’s ability to convert the note, however, is limited in that it will not be permitted to convert any portion of the note if the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates, together with the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon any full or partial conversion, would exceed 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. The holder has the right to waive this term upon 61 days’ notice to us.

 

During the first 180 days following the date of the note we have the right to prepay the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under the note, together with any other amounts we may owe the holder under the terms of the note, at a graduating premium ranging from 125% to 150%. After this initial 180 day period, we do not have a right to prepay the note.

 

There are certain covenants we agreed to, including without limitation, a right of first refusal in favor of the holder, price protection on dilutive issuances, a restriction on stock repurchases, a prohibition on borrowing under certain circumstances and the sale of our assets outside of the ordinary course of business.

 

All amounts due under the note become immediately due and payable by us upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes (i) our failure to pay the amounts due at maturity, (ii) our failure to deliver shares of our common stock upon any conversion of the note, (iii) a breach of the covenants, representations or warranties, (iv) the appointment of a trustee, a judgment against us in excess of $50,000 (subject to a cure period), a liquidation of our company or the filing of a bankruptcy petition, (v) failure to remain current in our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the removal of our common stock from quotation on the OTC markets, (vi) any restatement of our financial statements, or (vii) a reverse stock split without notice to the lender, as well as certain other provisions as set forth in the note.

 

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a convertible promissory note with Greg McCartney, our director. The $10,800 face value promissory note is unsecured, due five years from issuance, and bears an interest rate of 10%. At the investor’s option until the repayment date, the note may be converted to shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $0.02 per share along with an additional warrant to purchase one share for every two shares issued at the exercise price of $0.03 per share for three years after the conversion date.

 

 

On October 8, 2015, we entered into a convertible promissory note pursuant to which we borrowed $25,000. Interest under the convertible promissory note is 10% per annum, and the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due on March 5, 2016. The note is convertible into 1,250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.02 per share and 625,000 warrants exercisable at $0.04 per share.

On October 26, 2015, we entered into a convertible promissory note pursuant to which we borrowed $135,000. Interest under the convertible promissory note is 9% per annum, and the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due on October 26, 2017. The note is convertible at any time following the third month anniversary after the issuance date at noteholders option into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price of 90% of the average of the Trading Prices for the common stock during the five Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date, subject to adjustment as described in the note. The holder’s ability to convert the note, however, is limited in that it will not be permitted to convert any portion of the note if the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates, together with the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon any full or partial conversion, would exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The note is secured by the accounts receivable of a license agreement we have with Women's Choice Pharmaceuticals, LLC on its proprietary prescription product, ProCort®. The form of convertible promissory note is attached as an exhibit to the Form 8-K we filed on January 1, 2013.

 

On December 17, 2015, we entered into a convertible promissory note pursuant to which we borrowed $25,000. Interest under the convertible promissory note is 10% per annum, and the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due on May 17, 2016. The note is convertible into 1,250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.02 per share and 625,000 warrants exercisable at $0.04 per share.

 

Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. 

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2015, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Going concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $27,831,352 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated

 

 

financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

Product sales – Revenues from the sale of products (Invisicare® polymers) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive reasonably assured payments for products sold and delivered.

 

Royalty sales – We also recognize royalty revenue from licensing our patented product formulations only when earned, with no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.

 

Distribution and license rights sales – We also recognize revenue from distribution and license rights only when earned (and are amortized over a five year period), with no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.

 

Costs of Revenue – Cost of revenue includes raw materials, component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs is not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.

 

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. Management reviews each accounts receivable balance that exceeds 30 days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts. The Company has $1,135,000 in convertible notes payable which are secured by the accounts receivable of a license agreement the Company has with Women's Choice Pharmaceuticals, LLC on its proprietary prescription product, ProCort®.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Skinvisible, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Skinvisible, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2015. Skinvisible, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Skinvisible, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital at December 31, 2015, has incurred recurring losses and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AUDITED)

 

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

 

Description of business – Skinvisible, Inc., (referred to as the “Company”) is focused on the development and manufacture and sales of innovative topical, transdermal and mucosal polymer-based delivery system technologies and formulations incorporating its patent-pending formula/process for combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer emulsions. The technologies and formulations have broad industry applications within the pharmaceutical, over-the-counter, personal skincare and cosmetic arenas. Additionally, the Company’s non-dermatological formulations, offer solutions for a broad spectrum of markets women’s health, pain management, and others. The Company maintains executive and sales offices in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

History – Skinvisible, Inc. (referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 6, 1998, under the name of Microbial Solutions, Inc. The Company underwent a name change on February 26, 1999, when it changed its name to Skinvisible, Inc. The Company’s subsidiary’s name of Manloe Labs, Inc. was also changed to Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

On September 9, 2014, the Company formed Kinatri USA Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to market a premium line of scientifically formulated skincare products powered by our patented Invisicare® technology. As part of our strategic focus on revenue generation and creating shareholder value, Kintari USA Inc. products will be sold via network marketing.

The Kintari product portfolio consists of anti-aging products to help fight the signs of aging. These products have been developed using proven anti-aging ingredients with scientific evidence of their effectiveness at reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles resulting in youthful looking skin. These potent ingredients will be powered by patented Invisicare technology, providing consumers with unique, effective products which we believe cannot be duplicated. Additional products will be added to enhance this product line as the company grows and expands.

Skinvisible, Inc. together with its subsidiaries shall herein be collectively referred to as the “Company”.

 

Going concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $27,831,352 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are $0 and $196,602 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  

 

SKINVISIBLE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AUDITED)

 

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

 

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Revenue recognition

Product sales – Revenues from the sale of products (Invisicare® polymers) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive reasonably assured payments for products sold and delivered.

Royalty sales – The Company also recognizes royalty revenue from licensing its patented product formulations only when earned, when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.

Distribution and license rights sales – The Company also recognizes revenue from distribution and license rights only when earned (and are amortized over a five year period), when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.

Costs of Revenue – Cost of revenue includes raw materials, component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs is not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. Management reviews each accounts receivable balance that exceeds 30 days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts. The Company has $1,135,000 in convertible notes payable which are secured by the accounts receivable of a license agreement the Company has with Women's Choice Pharmaceuticals, LLC on its proprietary prescription product, ProCort®.

 

Inventory – Substantially all inventory consists of finished goods and are valued based upon first-in first-out ("FIFO") cost, not in excess of market. The determination of whether the carrying amount of inventory requires a write-down is based on an evaluation of inventory.

Goodwill and intangible assets – The Company follows Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (FASB) Codification Topic 350-10 (“ASC 350-10”), “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. According to this statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization, but rather an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test. Fair value for goodwill is based on discounted cash flows, market multiples and/or appraised values as appropriate. Under ASC 350-10, the carrying value of assets are calculated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows.

 

Income taxes – The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Stock-based compensation – The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.

 

Stock based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718-10 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaled $13,800 and $54,450, respectively.

 

Earnings (loss) per share – The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 260-10 “Earnings Per Share”, Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed exercise of options and warrants to purchase common shares (common stock equivalents) would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 304 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2015. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 1: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our 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 an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

 

We do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.

 

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, the board of directors:

 

1. Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
2. Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor’s independence.

 

Based upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2015, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015:

 

Name and principal position		Number of late reports				Transactions not timely reported				Known failures to file a required form

The Code of Ethics was filed as an exhibit to the annual report on Form 10KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and filed with the SEC on April 14, 2005.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Currently, the objective of the cash compensation paid by the company is to provide fair reimbursement for the time spent by our executive officer and independent directors to the extent feasible within the financial constraints faced by our developing business. The stock options granted to our executive officer and to our independent directors are intended to provide these individuals with incentives to pursue the growth and development of the company’s operations and business opportunities. Although the options awarded to our executive and directors are typically exercisable immediately, they also remain valid and exercisable for terms of several years. We believe this provides the proper balance of short-term and long-term incentives to increase the value of the company. Although an immediate increase in share price following the issuance of the options would obviously result in a profit if those options were exercised, the longer exercisable period of the options also provides an incentive to increase value over the long term and gives our executive officer and directors the opportunity to realize gains based on the sustained growth of our operations and revenues.

 

In addition, our sole executive officer holds substantial ownership in the company and is generally motivated by a strong entrepreneurial interest in expanding our operations and revenue base to the best of his ability.
