INNERSCOPE ADVERTISING AGENCY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

Business

 

InnerScope Advertising Agency, Inc. (“Company”, “Innerscope” or “ISAA”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on June 15, 2012, with its principal place of business in Roseville, California. ISAA was formed to provide advertising and marketing services to retail establishments in the hearing device industry. On June 20, 2012, ISAA entered into an Acquisition and Plan of Share Exchange with InnerScope Advertising Agency, LLC (“ILLC”), a commonly owned entity, whereby ISAA acquired 100% of ILLC. On November 1, 2013, ISAA entered into an Acquisition and Plan of Share Exchange with Intela-Hear, LLC (“Intela-Hear”), a commonly owned entity, whereby ISAA acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Intela-Hear in exchange for 27,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in Intela-Hear becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

ISAA provides a comprehensive range of services (including consulting services), grouped into four fundamental disciplines: advertising/marketing, customer relationship management, public relations and specialty communications. The Company serves the retail hearing aid dispensing community through generating traffic and consumer interest for hearing aid dispensing practices and providing consulting services to hearing aid dispensaries. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, approximately 96.3% of revenues were from one customer (see Note 8), and for the three months ended March 31, 2016, 100% of the Company’s revenue was generated from a related party. On August 5, 2016, the Company and the related party agreed to cancel their Marketing Agreement as a result of the sale by the related party of substantially all of their assets. See note 5.

 

On August 5, 2016, the Company along with Mark Moore (“Mark”, the Company’s chairman), Matthew Moore (“Matthew”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Kim Moore (“Kim”, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer) entered into a Store Expansion Consulting Agreement (the “Expansion Agreement”). Mark, Matthew and Kim are herein referred to collectively as the Moores. Pursuant to the Expansion Agreement, the Company and the Moores were responsible for all physical plant and marketing details for new store openings during the initial term of six-months. The Expansion Agreement was cancelled on January 6, 2017. The Company’s client has decided to do their own marketing in-house and eliminate this out-sourced contract, and has decided to open only one location and delay the opening of any other new stores.  For the three months ended March 31 2017, the Company has recognized $100,000 of income for the one new store, opened in January 2017, and $400,000 in other income for payments received for the Expansion Agreement pursuant to the cancellation. The client also paid an additional $30,000 for the cancellation of the Store Expansion Agreement and a marketing agreement.

 

Also on August 5, 2016, the Company and the Moores entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with the same party as the store Expansion Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, including the Non-Compete provision covering a ten mile radius of any retail store, the Company and the Moores will provide unlimited licensing of the Intela-Hear brand name, exclusive access to the Aware Aural Rehab Program within 10 miles of retail stores, exclusive territory of all services within 10 miles of retail stores and 40 hours per month of various consulting services. The Consulting Agreement continues until January 31, 2019, unless terminated for cause, as defined in the Consulting Agreement. On May 2, 2017, the Company received a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. The Company believes this threat by the third party is frivolous and without merit, as well as not providing sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated (See Note 9).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. 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 consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2016 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Innerscope and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries ILLC and Intela-Hear, a California limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

Emerging Growth Companies

 

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include collectability of notes receivable from an officer, and through July 31, 2016, the allocation of our President’s compensation to the Company. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost, in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail.

 

Deferred Commission and Commission Payable, Stockholder

 

The Company records deferred commission when cash has been paid, but the related services have not been provided by the party (stockholder). Commission expense will be recognized when the services are provided. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had advanced $508,334 and $133,334, respectively. The Company also records commissions payable, stockholder, when services have been provided and the Company has not yet paid for the services. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owed the stockholder $96,000, which was paid in January 2017.

 

Notes Receivable, Officer

 

The Company records notes receivable when a recipient has issued a note to the Company in exchange for cash. The Company records as a current asset, any portion of the note that is due in the subsequent twelve (12) months for the date of the balance sheet, and any payments due in excess of twelve months of the balance sheet are classified as long term. As of March 31, 2017, $10,314 (includes $64 of interest due) is due by March 31, 2018 and $5,125 is due after March 31, 2018.

 

6
 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the period in which the services are performed. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received and recognized $100,000 of revenue related to the Store Expansion Agreement and $30,000 from the cancellation of the Marketing and Store Expansion Agreements.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

The Company records deferred revenues from the Consulting Agreement when cash has been received, but the related services have not been provided. Revenue will be recognized when the services are provided and the terms of the agreement have been fulfilled. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has deferred revenue of $847,223 related to the Consulting Agreement. On May 2, 2017, the Company received a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. The letter claims the Moore’s are not able to render their services, as personally required, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2017, the Company has not recognized revenue from the Consulting Agreement.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, notes and interest receivable, officer and accounts payable and amount due to a related party (MFHC). The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities.  The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.

 

Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding common stock equivalents or any other potentially dilutive securities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

7
 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had net income of $56,911 and generated cash of $141,798 in operations. Through August 5, 2016, the Company was dependent on the Marketing Agreement with MFHC, (the Company and MFHC agreed to cancel the Marketing Agreement which generated 100% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as a result of the sale by MFHC of substantially all of their assets) and is now dependent on the Consulting Agreement with a third party. On May 2, 2017, the Company received a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. The letter claims the Moore’s are not able to render their services, as personally required, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement. The Store Expansion and Marketing Agreements were cancelled January 2, 2017, retroactive to December 1, 2016 (see Note 6). These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management’s Plans

 

The Company’s plans include the realization of the Consulting Agreement to provide the Company with working capital. The Company’s plans also include setting up an alliance (the “Alliance”). On April 2, 2013, The Company executed a 10 Year Supply Agreement with GN Hearing Care Corporation, DBA as GN Resound (“GN Resound”), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hearing devices. This supply agreement enables the Company to offer hearing aids to independent hearing aid practitioners at a discount to the regular wholesale price, while still permitting the Company to profit from said sale between the independent hearing aid practitioners and GN Resound. Alliance members will then be able to sell those hearing devices, whether private label or GN Resound branded, manufactured and shipped by GN ReSound under the Alliance program to their clients. As of April 20, 2017, we have work orders from 9 new clients, representing 36 locations to provide our marketing and advertising services. We are actively pursuing additional clients and we are planning to launch the Alliance program.

 

NOTE 4 – NOTE RECEIVABLE, OFFICER

 

On April 1, and June 25, 2013, in exchange for two notes receivable, the Company loaned the President of the Company $10,000 and $10,500, respectively. The terms of the notes include an interest rate of 1.5% per annum and the notes, as amended are due on their fifth year anniversary, with quarterly payment beginning October 1, 2016. Interest income, related party of $64 and $77 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, notes and interest receivable, related party was $15,439 and $18,084, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company loaned the President $20,500 during the year ended December 31, 2013 (see Note 4). The Company recorded interest income of $64 and $77 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Pursuant to a Marketing Agreement (cancelled August 5, 2016), the Company provided marketing programs to promote and sell hearing aid instruments and related devices to Moore Family Hearing Company (“MFHC”). MFHC owned and operated retail hearing aid stores. Based on common control of MFHC and the Company, all transactions with MFHC are classified as related party transactions. On August 8, 2016, in consideration of $128,000 (the “Cancellation Fee”), MFHC and the Company agreed to cancel the Marketing Agreement as a result of the sale by MFHC of substantially all of their assets (see Note 6). On August 11, 2016, MFHC paid $229,622 to the Company (inclusive of the balance owed as of June 30, 2016, the Cancellation Fee and other related party activity).

 

Pursuant to the Marketing Agreement, beginning in January 2014, the monthly fee was increased from $2,500 to $3,200 per retail location. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were 20 stores resulting in revenue of $192,000. The Company has offset the accounts receivable owed from MFHC for expenses of the Company that have been paid by MFHC. As a result of these payments in addition to MFHC’s payments to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2016, the balance due to MFHC as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $22,548 and $13,048, respectively.

 

8
 

On April 1, 2013, the Company entered into a five-year sublease agreement with MFHC to sublease approximately 729 square feet of office space for $1,500 per month. The monthly rent reduced the amounts owed to the Company from MFHC for the marketing services provided to MFHC. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company expensed $4,500 related to this lease.

 

On February 1, 2016, the Company entered into a one-year sublease agreement with MFHC to sublease approximately 2,119 square feet of office space for $4,026 per month. The monthly rent reduced the amounts owed to the Company from MFHC for the marketing services provided to MFHC. Effective April 30, 2016, MFHC released the Company from the sublease. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company expensed $8,052 related to this lease.

 

Prior to August 1, 2016, the Company’s President was being compensated from MFHC, as he also held a position with MFHC. During that time the Company estimated the portion of the President’s salary that should be allocated to the Company, and subsequent to August 1, 2016, the Company agreed to compensation of $225,000 per year. Effective August 1, 2016, the Company agreed to compensate our Chief Financial Officer $125,000 per annum. On November 15, 2016, the Company entered into an employment agreement with our CEO and CFO, which includes an annual base salary of $225,000 and $125,000, respectively. The Company has expensed $58,333 and $10,166 for the President, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively and the Company recognized $29,167 of expense for the CFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

In September 2016, the officers and directors of the Company formed a California limited liability company (the “LLC”), for the purpose of acquiring commercial real estate and other business activities.

This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and filed by the Company on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2017.

Other income, net

 

Other income increased to $159,744 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $77 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs to pay ongoing obligations. As of March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $637,875, an increase of $144,361, from $493,514 as of December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, we had current liabilities of $786,132 (including deferred revenues of $597,221) compared to current assets of $1,072,192 which resulted in working capital of $286,060. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue.

 

For the next twelve months, we expect to be able to meet our cash needs for our current operations from the revenues we receive from providing advertising and marketing services to our clients, as well as the cash provided from the Consulting Agreement. As of April 20, 2017, we have work orders from 9 new clients, representing 36 locations to provide our marketing and advertising services. We are actively pursuing additional clients and we are planning to launch the Alliance program. Management estimates it will need approximately $100,000 to launch the Alliance program. Our ability to operate beyond March, 2018, is contingent upon continuing to realize sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses, as well as the cash from the Consulting Agreement. If we are unable to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Innerscope and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries ILLC and Intela-Hear, a California limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the period in which the services are performed. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received and recognized $100,000 of revenue related to the Store Expansion agreement and $30,000 from the cancellation of the Marketing and Store Agreements.

Deferred Commission and Commission Payable, Stockholder

 

The Company records deferred commission when cash has been paid, but the related services have not been provided by the party (stockholder). Commission expense will be recognized when the services are provided. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had advanced $508,334 and $133,334, respectively. The Company also records commissions payable, stockholder, when services have been provided and the Company has not yet paid for the services.

Deferred Revenue

 

The Company records deferred revenues from the Store Expansion and Consulting Agreements when cash has been received, but the related services have not been provided. Deferred revenue will be recognized when the services are provided and the terms of the agreements have been fulfilled. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has deferred revenue of $847,223 related to the Consulting Agreement.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance can be provided for a net deferred tax asset, due to uncertainty of realization.

 

Net income per common share

 

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC No. 260 "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

This information is accumulated to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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 control deficiencies. During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. The Company does not have an Audit Committee to oversee management activities, and the Company is dependent on third party consultants for the financial reporting function.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On May 2, 2017, the Company received a demand letter threatening litigation unless all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement are returned on the basis that an injunction against certain Officers and Directors renders the Consulting Agreement impossible to perform. The Company was not named as an enjoined party in such previous litigation, and the services contemplated under the Consulting Agreement are not within the scope of the injunction, thus the Company believes this threat by the third party is frivolous and without merit, as well as not providing sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated. The Company intends to vigorously defend against any lawsuit filed against it in this matter, as well as take any required action to see that the obligations of the third party in this matter are strictly enforced.
