FASTFUNDS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

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

 

Business and organization:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

On January 28, 2014, CA entered into a one year Consulting Agreement with Singlepoint, Inc. (“Singlepoint”) (the “Singlepoint Agreement”).

CA is to provide consulting services including strategic and business planning, marketing and sales support, define and support for product offerings, acquisition strategy and funding strategy. As of March 31, 2016, this agreement is still active but no services have been provided and no further activity related to this agreement has occurred.

 

On February 7, 2014, CA entered into a one year consulting agreement with Colorado Cannabis Business Solutions, Inc (“CCBS”). CA is to provide consulting services to CCBS relating to business opportunities, corporate finance activities and general business development, in exchange for 9.9% ownership in CCBS. As of March 31, 2016, this agreement is still active but no services have been provided and no further activity related to this agreement has occurred.

 

5
 

On March 5, 2014, CA entered into a five (5) year Strategic Alliance Agreement (“SAA”) with Worldwide Marijuana Investments, Inc. (“Worldwide”). Pursuant to the SAA, Worldwide and CA have agreed to market and perform certain complementary business consulting services. The SAA automatically renews for successive one year terms, unless either party gives written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to any expiration. The SAA can also be terminated by mutual agreement, or at any time by sixty (60) day written notice from either party. As of March 31, 2016, this agreement is still active but no services have been provided and no further activity related to this agreement has occurred.

 

On February 17, 2014, the Company and CA entered into a consulting agreement with Merchant Business Solutions, Inc. (“MBS”). CA will provide consulting services to MBS regarding seeking potential business opportunities, financial opportunities, and general business development in exchange for 49% of Cannabis Angel.

GreenEnergyMedia.TV broadcasts stock quotations and intraday charts on over 40 leading companies competing within the medical marijuana industry. Operations related to GreenEnergyMedia.TV have been deferred pending the recruitment and placement of personnel for this project, which has not occurred as of March 31, 2016.  

 

On April 29, 2014, Cannabis Live was launched, which will focus exclusively on hosting and broadcasting video of on-demand events. As this area of GreenEnergyMedia.TV’s website progresses, the Company plans to include the development of an exclusive interactive online channel. This future development will allow for several sources of revenue to be derived for the Company; including premium access membership fees, sponsorship and endorsement fees, and advertising revenue. Operations related to Cannabis Live have been deferred pending the recruitment and placement of personnel for this project, which has not occurred as of March 31, 2016.  

 

On April 17, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CA announced a Merchant Payment Processing Agreement to offer a debit card payment solution for retail cannabis dispensaries. This program will be offered through CMFS, the Company's 49% owned subsidiary. This payment solution allows dispensaries to accept debit and credit cards by using the PIN number associated with the card being used. . As of March 31, 2016, the company has not yet offered this program to customers and there has been no activity related to this program.

 

On July 8, 2014, The Company announced the formation of The 420 Development Corporation, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that will focus exclusively on the acquisition of operational companies that support the development of the ever-expanding cannabis industry.  The 420 Development Corporation will seek to identify acquisition candidates within the industry that have the potential to add significant shareholder value once completed.

 

On July 24, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The 420 Development Corporation, announced the closing of a purchase agreement with Ohio-based Brawnstone Security, LLC (“Brawnstone”). Brawnstone is a licensed armed security, private investigation, security technology solution provider and tactical training company servicing active accounts with several Government affiliated HUD housing establishments, schools, and industrial facilities across the Ohio region. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company, through its subsidiaries, now owns a 70% interest in Brawnstone. The purchase price, disclosed in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and Assignment of Membership Interest Agreement dated July 23, 2014, was $160,000. The Company remitted $100,000 in cash and issued a $60,000 note payable bearing 8% interest to complete the purchase. The Company also assumed accrued expenses of $181,083. The total purchase price of $341,083 was allocated to cash of $133,806, accounts receivable of $120,965, prepaid expenses of $950, and goodwill of $85,312.

 

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

On May 15, 2015, FastFunds Financial Corporation (“FFFC”) acquired a 49% Limited Liability Company interest in Pure Grow Systems, LLC (“Pure Grow”) for $250,000. Financing for this transaction was provided through a $128,000 convertible note issued to Carebourn Capital, LP on May 15, 2015 and a $125,000 convertible note issued to Pure Energy Inc. on May 29, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, $222,000 has been remitted by the company in acquisition of a minority stake of Pure Grow. Pure Grow Systems, LLC will be dedicated to the healthy production of raw materials used for medicinal or other health-related purposes. The Company is developing a line of environmentally friendly products using ingredients that have a strong track record of sanitation and disinfection in buildings, on furniture, and other items found in medical, manufacturing and warehouse settings. Pure Grow has displayed its products at several trade shows and has contacted interested distributors. No revenues have been generated from Pure Grow’s product lines through March 31, 2016

 

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

 

Going concern and management’s plans:

 

In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s interim financial statements for the three and ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The Company reported a net loss of $458,330 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and has a working capital deficit of $12,538,649 and an accumulated deficit of $30,271,947 as of March 31, 2016.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation:

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and include the consolidated accounts of Fastfunds Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 24, 2016. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2015 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

 

7
 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

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

 

Fixed assets:

 

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

 

Accounts receivables and revenue recognition:

 

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

 

The Company recognizes sale and service revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer which states a fixed or determinable price and terms, delivery of the product has occurred or the service performed in accordance with the terms of the sale, and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. The Company has entered into agreements calling for services to be available to the customer for a period of time. In these cases, revenue is recognized over the life of the agreement. Prepaid services are shown as deferred revenues until services are performed.

 

Long-lived assets:

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, impairments totaling $7,473 were recognized. The impairment is related to a loss from an unconsolidated investee, Pure Grow Systems, LLC.

 

Goodwill:

 

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

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Investee

 

The Company accounts for investments in which the Company owns more than 20% of the investee, using the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method, an investor initially records an investment in the stock of an investee at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the investor's share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income by the investor, and such amount reflects adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated statements including adjustments to eliminate intercompany gains and losses, and to amortize, if appropriate, any difference between investor cost and underlying equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment. The investment of an investor is also adjusted to reflect the investor's share of changes in the investee's capital. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred which is other than temporary and which should be recognized even though the decrease in value is in excess of what would otherwise be recognized by application of the equity method.

Non-controlling interest:

 

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

 

Loss per share:

 

Loss per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options, warrants, and common stock underlying convertible promissory notes are not considered in the calculations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, as the impact of the potential common shares, which total 22,881,875,400 and 1,167,187,184, respectively, would be anti-dilutive.

 

Use of estimates:

 

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of derivative liabilities on stock based compensation and impairment analysis.

 

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

9
 

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

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Stock-based compensation:

 

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

 

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

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

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

 

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

4. Long term investments:

 

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

 

On March 21, 2016, the Company and Paymaster Limited reached a settlement for the transfer of Paymaster’s Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (the “Preferred Shares”) initially acquired by the Company on March 30, 2011. In the March 21, 2016 agreement, the Company agreed to return the Preferred Shares to Paymaster in exchange for a one-time payment of $275,000. The company received this cash payment during the first quarter of 2016 and recognized a gain of $185,425 on the sale of the long-term asset.

   2016  2015
           
Promissory notes payable:          
           
Various, including related parties of $25,867 (2016) and $50,767 (2015); interest rate ranging from 8% to 10% [A]  $71,042   $113,842 
           
Notes payable; interest rates ranging from 9% to 15%; interest payable quarterly; the notes are unsecured, matured on February 28, 2008; currently in default and past due  [B]   2,090,719    2,090,719 
   $2,161,761   $2,204,561 

 

 [A]Pursuant to a November 4, 2011 Board of director resolution, these notes are convertible at conversion rates, determined at the discretion of the board of directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 the Company issued notes of $53,400 (including $4,300 to related parties) and made payments of $96,200 (including $1,700 to related parties). These notes are due on demand.
   
[B]These notes payable (the “Promissory Notes”) originally became due on February 28, 2007. The Company renewed $283,000 of the Promissory Notes on the same terms and conditions as previously existed. In April 2007 the Company, through a financial advisor, restructured $1,825,000 of the Promissory Notes (the “Restructured Notes”). The Company has accrued an expense of $36,500 to compensate the financial advisor 2% of the Restructured Notes as well as having issued 150,000 shares of common stock to the financial advisor. The Restructured Notes carry a stated interest rate of 15% (a default rate of 20%) and matured on February 28, 2008. The Company has not paid the interest due since June 2007, and no principal payments on the Promissory Notes have been made since 2008 and accordingly, they are in default. Accrued interest on these notes total $3,749,686 and $3,644,686 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The chairman of the board of the Company has personally guaranteed up to $1 million of the Restructured Notes and two other non-related individuals each guaranteed $500,000 of the Restructured Notes. In consideration of their guarantees the Company granted warrants to purchase a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants were valued at $715,200 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and were amortized over the one-year term of the Restructured Notes. The warrants expired in March 2010.

 

In January 2008, the Company and the three guarantors received a complaint filed by the financial advisor (acting as agent for the holders of the Restructured Notes) and the holders of the Restructured Notes. The claim is seeking $1,946,250 plus per diem interest beginning January 22, 2008 at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum plus $37,000 due the financial advisor for unpaid fees. The court has ruled in favor of a motion for summary judgment filed by certain of the plaintiffs and a judgment was entered on August 18, 2009 in the total amount of $2,484,922 in principal and interest on the notes, $40,920 in related claims and $124,972 in attorney’s fees and expenses. The Company is not aware of any payments being made by any of the guarantors and accordingly, the Company includes these liabilities on the March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 balance sheets promissory notes payable and accrued expenses.

The Company has determined that the conversion features of the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and the 2016 Notes represent embedded derivatives since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion features must be bifurcated from the debt hosts and accounted for as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments have been recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amounts recorded as a discounts to the Notes. Such discounts will be accreted from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liabilities for derivative contracts will be recorded to other income or expenses in the consolidated statement of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet.

 

The fair value of the conversion features embedded in the 2015 Notes as of their dates of issuance and in their entirety as of March 31, 2016 was determined to approximate their fair intrinsic value due to the terms of conversion.

 

The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities are considered to be level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

 

A summary of the derivative liabilities related to convertible notes as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

8. Commitments and contingencies:

 

Litigation:

 

The Forest County Potawatomi Community (“FCPC”) has initiated an action against Chex, an inactive subsidiary of the Company, in the FCPC tribal court asserting that Chex breached a contract with FCPC during the 2002 to 2006 time period. Chex is inactive and did not defend this action. On October 1, 2009 a judgment was entered against Chex in the FCPC Tribal Court in the amount of $2,484,922. The Company has included $2,484,922 in litigation contingency on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

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

9. Income taxes:

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $12,851,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2031. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.

 

10. Stockholders’ deficiency:

 

Common stock:

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 1,752,572,976 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $71,218 of debentures payable, accrued and unpaid interest and the cashless exercise of warrants.

 

Preferred stock

 

There were no shares of Class A or B preferred stock issued during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The COD for Class A Preferred stock states; each share of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes determined at any time and from time to time determined as follows: any holder of Class A Preferred Stock can vote such shares as if converted based on the Conversion Rights in below. The Class A Preferred Stock shall have a right to vote on all matters presented or submitted to the Corporation’s stockholders for approval in pari passu with holders of the Corporation’s common stock, and not as a separate class. Each share of the Class A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (the “Conversion”) into shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the moment there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to allow for the Conversion. The number of shares of common stock to which a holder of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon a conversion shall equal the product obtained by (a) multiplying the number of fully diluted common shares by twenty five hundredths (0.25), then (b) multiplying the result by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Preferred stock being converted and the denominator of which will be the number of authorized shares of Class A Preferred stock. As of March 31, 2015 there are 819,000 shares of Class A Preferred stock outstanding.

 

On December 14, 2012, Board of Directors approved the filing of a COD establishing the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Company’s Class B Preferred Stock. The COD allows the Board of Directors in its sole discretion to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. The COD for Class B Preferred stock states; each share of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes determined at any time and from time to time determined as follows: any holder of Class B Preferred Stock can vote such shares as if converted based on the Conversion Rights in below. The Class B Preferred Stock shall have a right to vote on all matters presented or submitted to the Corporation’s stockholders for approval in pari passu with holders of the Corporation’s common stock, and not as a separate class. Each share of the Class B Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (the “Conversion”) into shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the moment there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock to allow for the Conversion. The Class B Preferred Stock will convert in their entirety, simultaneously to equal the amount of shares of common stock resulting from the amount of series B Preferred Stock outstanding multiplied by sixty (60). The Conversion shares will be issued pro rata so that each holder of the Class B Preferred Stock will receive the appropriate number of shares of common stock equal to their percentage ownership of their Class B Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2016 there are 1,791,667, shares of Class B Preferred stock outstanding.

 

 22 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Stock options:

 

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

 

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

All options outstanding at March 31, 2016 are fully vested and exercisable. A summary of outstanding balances at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

11. Prior events:

 

Asset sale:

 

On December 22, 2005, FFFC and Chex entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Game Financial Corporation (“Game”), pursuant to which FFFC and Chex agreed to sell all of its cash access contracts and certain related assets, which represented substantially all the assets of Chex. Such assets also represented substantially all of the operating assets of the Company on a consolidated basis. On January 31, 2006, FFFC and Chex completed the sale (the “Asset Sale”) for $14 million pursuant to the APA and received net cash proceeds of $12,642,784, after certain transaction related costs and realized a pre-tax book gain of $4,145,835. As a result of the Asset Sale, the Company has no substantial continuing operations. Therefore, the Company is not reporting and accounting for the sale of Chex’s assets as discussed in discontinued operations.

 

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

 

Pursuant to the APA and the TSA, FFFC and Chex owed Game approximately $300,000. Game, FFFC and Chex agreed to settle the balance due for $275,000 (included in accounts payable on the balance sheet presented herein) with payment terms. FFFC and Chex have not made any of the payments stipulated in the settlement and subsequently Game filed a complaint against Chex, FFFC and Hydrogen Power Inc. (“HPI”) seeking approximately $318,000. The Company has agreed to a judgment of $329,146, comprised of the $275,000, attorney fees of $15,277 (included in accounts payable on the balance sheet presented herein, and attorney fees of $38,869 (included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet presented herein). FFFC and Chex have agreed to indemnify HPI.

 

12. Related party transactions:

 

Management and director fees:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company accrued expenses of $37,500 for Mr. Fong, the Company’s President and Chairman. Mr. Fong received $34,150 and $29,500 in cash payments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. In November 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Mr. Fong in payment of $35,000 of accrued and unpaid fees. As of March 31, 2016, Mr. Fong is owed $25,500 for these services, included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

 

Acquisition of Carbon Capture:

 

On May 25, 2012, the Company’s newly formed subsidiary ATD acquired Carbon Capture USA (“Carbon”) from Carbon Capture Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("CCC"). CCC is privately held by Mr. Henry Fong, a director of the Company and is the control person of CCC. Pursuant to the Agreement, ATD acquired from CCC all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Carbon in exchange for one-hundred fifty thousand (150,000) newly issued unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2013, Carbon has exchanged the 150,000 shares of common stock for 1,500,000 shares of Class B preferred stock. The Class B preferred stock automatically converts to 150,000 shares of common stock whenever there are sufficient shares of common stock to allow for the conversion. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, the Company determined there were not any additional costs to be recognized.

GENERAL

 

FastFunds Financial Corporation (“FFFC”) is a holding company and through January 31, 2006 operated primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary Chex Services, Inc. (“Chex”). As disclosed in the December 31, 2013 10-K, FFFC also has several other non-operating wholly-owned subsidiaries. FFFC and its subsidiaries are referred to as (the “Company”).

 

OVERVIEW

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The financial statements presented for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 include FFFC and its subsidiaries.

 

In light of the foregoing, and the Company’s sale of substantially all of its assets in January 2006, the historical data presented below is not indicative of future results. You should read this information in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on May 24, 2016, and the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”.

 

The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of its remaining assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has a working capital deficit of approximately $12,538,649 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $30,271,947 as of March 31, 2016. Moreover, it presently has minimal ongoing business operations or sources of revenue, and little available resources with which to obtain or develop new operations.

 

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

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $43,579 compared to $119,461 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net loss was $454,454 and $368,056 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

 26 

 

Included in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $164,070 for the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs related to convertible notes. The current period loss also included operating expenses of approximately $98,023, interest expense of $137,254 related to convertible promissory notes and convertible debenture, and derivative liability expense of $179,001 due to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Included in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $66,217 for the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs related to convertible notes. The current period loss also included operating expenses of approximately $145,197, interest expense of $191,214 related to convertible promissory notes and convertible debenture, and derivative liability expense of $12,150 due to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was zero for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $67,798 compared to $129,510 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received $15,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and $4,300 from the issuance of notes payable related parties. The Company repaid $73,102 of notes payable ($20,791 related parties) and paid $9,500 of deferred financing fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received $50,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and 112,800 from the issuance of notes payable related parties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a control deficiency.

Due to the size and operations of the Company, we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company.
