NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION, GOING CONCERN AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc., or the Company, currently is a Florida corporation that was incorporated in Nevada in October 1987. It was formerly known as Jaguar Investments, Inc. between October 1987 and May 2003, Power2Ship, Inc. between May 2003 and November 2006, and Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. between November 2006 and December 2007.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $84,746 during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and had a working capital deficit of approximately $5.0 million at December 31, 2016. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company’s capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state NuState Energy Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our”) financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on October14, 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid, temporary, cash equivalents with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk from cash.

 

The Company’s cash account is held at a financial institution and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, up to $250,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not reached a bank balance exceeding the FDIC insurance limit.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

 

 

NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had notes payable outstanding in which the conversion rate was variable and undeterminable. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a derivative liability in connection with such instruments. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and at every balance sheet thereafter and in determining which valuation method is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black-Scholes-Merton), the expected volatility, the implied risk free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate, if any.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The Company’s derivative liability at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is classified as Level 3 financial instrument.

 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, other receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, note and convertible promissory notes payable, and liabilities from discontinued operations approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity, generally provides that, among other things, if an event is not within the entity’s control, such contract could require net cash settlement and shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

The Company determines whether the instruments issued in the transactions are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. During the fiscal year 2014 the Company issued convertible securities with variable conversion provisions that resulted in derivative liabilities.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions”. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

DECEMBER 31, 2016

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Income Taxes, continued

 

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not filed tax returns for the tax years ending June 30, 2008 through 2015 and such returns, when filed, potentially will be subject to audit by the taxing authorities for a minimum of three years beyond the filing date under the three-year statute of limitations. The Company has not accrued any potential tax penalties associated with not filing these tax returns. Due to recurring losses, management believes such potential tax penalties, in any, would not be material in amount.

 

Share-Based Payment

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

 

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in one segment, which is to search for possible acquisition targets and merge with an operating company. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates the performance of the Company based upon expenses by functional areas as disclosed in the Company’s statements of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements have been issued but deemed by management to be outside the scope of relevance to the Company.

 

As an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the exemption provided for in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act or JOBS Act allowing us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies pursuant to Section 102(b)(1) of the Act.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive Common Stock share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method).  Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per-share results are not presented in the financial statements as their affect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 6: OBLIGATIONS TO ASC RECAP, LLC

 

In July, 2013, certain of the Company’s creditors showed interest in selling their claims against the Company to ASC Recap, LLC (“ASC”); this group also included both current and past management of the Company. This led to the Company signing a Liability Purchase Agreement with ASC on July 23, 2013. This Agreement required the Company to issue common shares within five business days of each purchase at a 25% discount from the market price to ASC in amounts equal to the claims purchased from the Company’s creditors. In addition, under the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued a $25,000 non-interest bearing convertible promissory note to ASC, as described in Note 4.

 

ASC signed a series of Claim Purchase Agreements with certain creditors of the Company to purchase their claims against the Company totaling $2,531,565. These claims consisted of notes payable, convertible notes payable, vendor payables and accrued compensation to the Company’s CEO and to a related party. The Claim Purchase Agreements required ASC to settle the creditors’ claims against the Company for a total of $1,305,996. Each Claim Purchase Agreement stipulated that ASC would pay each creditor the agreed-upon amount in up to twelve (12) monthly installments.

 

In January, 2014, the Company had not issued any shares to ASC as required by the agreement. As a result, ASC filed a complaint in Leon County, Florida demanding the prescribed issuance of shares from the Company for the purchased claims. A settlement agreement was reached on February 6, 2014, and on March 12, 2014 ASC Recap filed a motion in Leon County, Florida which forced the Company to comply. ASC Recap was awarded a $2,531,565 judgement which was to be paid by issuing free trading common stock at a 25% discount from the market price. In addition, on May 6, 2014, the Company issued a $125,000 non-interest bearing convertible promissory note to ASC, as described in Note 4. Between April and June of 2014, the Company issued to ASC 322,220,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate market value of $365,308, which reduced the recorded liability by $273,981; in July of 2014, the Company issued 82,980,000 shares of common stock with an aggregate market value of $24,894 (see Note 6).

 

On August 13, 2015 ASC Recap, LLC issued the Company a letter of default related to its agreement to settle outstanding liabilities and related accrued interest and returned approximately $2,373,000 of liabilities to their original holders, which is detailed in the table at the end of Note 6. These balances reflect the payments made by ASC to creditors prior to the default.

 

An analysis of the settlement liability due to ASC is as follows:

 

Total creditor claims purchased by ASC - as ratified by the settlement agreement dated February 6, 2015						$	2,531,565

Preferred Stock

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $0.25 per share. Each one share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock. In the event the Common Stock price per share is lower than $0.10 (ten cents) per share then the Conversion shall be set at $0.035 per share. The Common Stock shares are governed by Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreements. The Series A convertible preferred stock has a par value of $0.001.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

Thirty million (30,000,000) shares of preferred stock were designated as a new Series B Preferred stock in April, 2016. This new Series B Preferred Stock has a $0.001 par value, and each 300 shares is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock, with a stated value of $375 per share. The Series B convertible preferred stock has a par value of $0.001.

 

The former Series A and B convertible preferred shares issued and outstanding, along with the Company’s preferred shares Series C, D, F, H. I, J, and Y were exchanged for shares of the current Series A preferred stock in November, 2015. These classes of shares were subsequently cancelled. Issued and outstanding shares of Series C, D, F, H, I, J, and Y of the Company’s preferred stock had a par value of $0.01 per share. All classes rank(ed) prior to any class or series of the Company’s common stock as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or as to the payment of dividends. All preferred stock shall have no voting rights except if the subject of such vote would reduce the amount payable to the holders of preferred stock upon liquidation or dissolution of the company and cancel and modify the conversion rights of the holders of preferred stock as defined in the certificate of designations of the respective series of preferred stock.

 

On October 14, 2015 a former Chairman of the Board of the Company was issued 80 shares of Series F preferred stock with a stated value of $5,000 and a par value $0.001 per share, and 12 shares of Series H preferred stock, with a stated value of $1,000 and a par value $0.001 per share in consideration for his forgiveness of $412,000 in accrued compensation. Subsequently, in October 2015, these Series F and Series H shares were exchanged for 1,648,000 shares of Series A preferred stock.

 

On October 28, 2015, preferred shareholders representing a majority of each series of our outstanding preferred stock, voted to cancel all their shares of preferred stock in exchange for 11,181,340 shares of newly designated Series A preferred stock. The number of shares of newly issued Series A preferred stock issued to each preferred shareholder was calculated by dividing the total stated value of their preferred shares by $0.25. The holders of the Series A preferred shares are restricted from converting their shares to common stock for two years (the “Lock-Up Period”). After the Lock-Up Period, they may convert up to one percent of their Series A preferred shares into common shares on a one for one basis each month for four years (the “Leak-Out Period”). However, the conversion price automatically reduces by 86% to $0.035 per share if our common stock is below $0.10 per share. At the end of the Leak-Out Period, up to all of the remaining Series A preferred shares may be converted to common stock at the shareholders’ discretion.

Overview

 

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. is a technology company specializing in providing pertinent, real-time information to the worldwide transportation and security industries. NuState’s proprietary software, GPSTrax, is built on an Open Architecture platform for the logistics and telematics industries.

 

We believe there are many opportunities to leverage and monetize our software technology by licensing it to companies that provide green technology solutions to medium and large logistics companies. In November 2014, NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. signed a definitive agreement with The Ronn Motor Group, with offices in Dalian, China and the United States, to license and market GPSTrax in China and other international markets.

 

NuState is launching a new GPSTrax Value-Added Reseller (VAR) Program, focusing on opportunities in consumer-based solutions such as asset tracking. The VAR Program will increase awareness, availability and support of the GPSTrax solution at a time when a growing number of companies are looking to update and optimize their solutions. We expect to generate revenues from this Program during fiscal 2017.

 

Our software technology provides validation and verification of fuel cost consumption reporting and fuel tax credits to logistics companies. The software also is designed to document the exact amount of reduction of harmful emissions that results from the alternative energy products. This data will enable users in certain countries to generate emissions credits that are tradable under the protocol of the Kyoto Treaty.

 

Through our existing relationships in the country of Suriname, NuState is evaluating several projects in the alternative renewable energy market in Suriname. NuState has been in discussions with AMPS, NV (“AMPS”), based in Paramaribo, Suriname, to enter into a license agreement with its partner, The Ronn Motor Group, in relation to the purchase of GPSTrax© for their multi-million-dollar alternative energy projects. AMPS focuses on providing engineering, procurement and construction management (EPC) services, Power Transmission & Distribution, Renewable and Conventional Energy as well as Power Management Systems to Suriname and its fellow Caribbean Community members.

 

We are unable to determine at this time whether we will be successful in capitalizing on the aforementioned opportunities in our business environment without proper funding.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, selling, general and administrative expenses were $164,135 and $1,017,446 respectively, as compared to $252,044 and $401,268 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

 

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

		$	164,135			$	252,044			$	1,017,446			$	401,268

 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2016, when compared with the prior year, is primarily due to an increase in stock -based compensation and accounting expense, offset by lower salaries and consulting fees.

 

We believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will continue at their current rate as we continue to focus our resources on the search for a business opportunity for the remainder of 2017. Should we begin merger or acquisition procedures, we believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will substantially increase.

 

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

 

		Three-Months Ended													Six-Months Ended
		December 31,								%					December 31,								%
		2016				2015				Change					2016				2015				Change
Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities		$	(373,795	)		$	16,549				(2,359	%	)		$	(123,247	)		$	21,755				(667	%)

 

The change in fair value of derivative liabilities results from the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the application of ASC 815, resulting in either income or expense, depending on the difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between their measurement dates driven by the change in the per share price of the Company’s common stock.

 

 

Interest Expense

 

		Three-Months Ended								%				Six-Months Ended								%
		December 31,								Change				December 31,								Change
		2016				2015								2016				2015
Interest expense		$	84,223			$	87,671				(4	%)		$	168,423			$	166,255				1	%

 

Interest expense represents stated interest of notes and convertible notes payable as well as amortization of debt discount. We believe that our interest expense will continue at the same levels as the first six months of 2016 for the remainder of fiscal 2017.

 

Gain on restructuring of debt

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a gain as a result of the exchange of accrued salaries and certain classes of preferred stock into shares of Series A preferred stock in the amount of $813,590.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 100% of our total assets consisted of cash.

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have ready access to sufficient funds to meet commitments and effectively implement our growth strategy. Our primary sources are financing activities such as the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable. In the past, we have mostly relied on debt and equity financing to provide for our operating needs.

 

We cannot ascertain that we have sufficient funds from operations to fund our ongoing operating requirements through June 30, 2017. We may need to raise funds to enhance our working capital and use them for strategic purposes. If such need arises, we intend to generate proceeds from either debt or equity financing.

 

We intend to finance our operations using a mix of equity and debt financing. We do not anticipate incurring capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will need to raise approximately $180,000 per year in the near term to finance the recurring costs of being a publicly-traded company. In the long-term, we anticipate we will need to raise a substantial amount of capital to complete an acquisition. We are unable to quantify the resources we will need to successfully complete an acquisition. If these funds cannot be obtained, we may not be able to consummate an acquisition or merger, and our business may fail as a result.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2015 we have taken aggressive steps to strengthen the balance sheet by successfully exchanging debt held by our noteholders for shares of our Series A and Series B preferred stock at substantial discounts to the face value of the notes payable. We have been able to do this because the noteholders have agreed that this is a necessary step to provide the Company an opportunity to successfully execute on its business plan.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $85,000 and $203,000 during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $5.0 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future, once a merger with an operating company is consummated. Management plans may continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt and the Company will continue to find possible acquisition target. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

Six months ended December 31, 2016

 

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended December 31, 2016 decreased by $118,334 or 58% from the same period during fiscal year 2015. The decrease in cash used in operations is primarily due to the decrease in cash paid for consulting fees of $127,936, the decrease in cash paid for salaries to executives of $48,125, offset by the increase in cash paid for audit and related services of $18,080. This cash was obtained through the sale of $47,500 of convertible promissory notes and $40,000 in promissory notes.

 

Six months ended December 31, 2015

 

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended December 31, 2015 increased by $132,307 or 187% over the same period during fiscal year 2015. The increase in cash used in operations is primarily due to the increase in cash paid for consulting fees of $58,100, the increase in cash paid for salaries to executives of $52,609, and the increase in cash paid for audit and related services of $22,500. This cash was obtained through the sale of $200,000 of convertible promissory notes and the sales of $35,000 of convertible preferred stock.
