Item 1. Description of Business.

 

History

 

ROKWADER, INC. (the “Company”), was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2005 as a vehicle to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business that primarily desires to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly-held corporation. On April 23, 2007, Rokwader completed an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Latigo Shore Music, Inc. (“Latigo”). Substantially all of the business conducted by Rokwader is through Latigo, its wholly-owned subsidiary, until May 2, 2016, when the Company, through its True Blue Car Wash subsidiary, acquired five Express car washes. In May and June 2015, the Company underwent a change of control when it sold an aggregate of 15,250,000 shares of its common stock, together with a warrant to purchase an additional 5,900,000 shares of its common stock to Coco Partners, LLC. As a result of this transaction and the change of control of the Company, our business strategies and plan of operations have evolved into two segments: (i) the continuation of the Latigo music publishing business; and (ii) the investment and acquisition vehicle through Coco Partners.

 

Corporate Overview

 

From 2007, when we acquired Latigo Shore Music, Inc. until May 2016, when we acquired five express car washes, our principal business objective had been to achieve long-term growth of Latigo’s music publishing business.  Latigo’s primary activity is the acquisition and exploitation of music copyrights for the purpose of creating viable entertainment assets, such as a music catalog, that is capable of generating revenue through various publishing outlets. The current Latigo catalog (including copyrights and publishing rights) consists of 306 original songs written in whole or in part by Andrew Dorff (106), Gary Harju (50) and Jeston Cade (150).  Other songwriters and their publishing designees own the balance of the percentages of these songs.  Typically, total income from a song is split 50% each between the publisher and the writer in a music publishing catalog. Publishers generally collect all income except for the “writers share” from public performance income. Writer’s receive their share of royalties for public performance directly from performing rights organizations such as Broadcast Music, Inc. and the publishers only collect the “publisher’s share” of public performance income.  As Latigo’s business is still in its early stage of development, we have generated only a minimal amount of revenue from our operations. In December 2016, Andrew Dorff’s promising career ended with his untimely death due to a tragic accident, putting the future value of Latigo’s key artist content in question. Further, Latigo did not re-new the contract of Jeston Cade, so no new song rights will be added from either artist.

As discussed in more detail below, on May 7, 2015, we completed a transaction with Coco Partners, LLC (“Coco Partners”) in which Coco Partners acquired a controlling interest in the Company by purchasing newly issued shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Transaction”).  The Transaction is part of an investment strategy of Coco Partners in which the Company may serve as an investment vehicle to acquire other operating companies with significant revenue streams and cash flow. We believe such acquisition and investment strategy, if executed successfully, provides opportunities to enhance shareholder value. Our first acquisition was five express car washes in Arizona, which is discussed below.

  

Business Strategy and Plan of Operations

 

As a result of the Transaction and the change in control of the Company, our business strategies and plan of operations have evolved to transform the Company into an investment and acquisition vehicle, in order to acquire operating earnings through acquisitions of operating businesses (“OPCOs”), in select industries.

 

Strategy and Operation as Investment Vehicle

 

The Company will serve as the investment vehicle to acquire operating businesses of certain consumer facing lifestyle businesses in the U.S. that the Company believes are being driven by identifiable economic and demographic trends. The Company intends to target operating companies that have demonstrated the ability to execute scalable business models, particularly those companies in which the real estate component of the business is mission critical to the business, and where such real estate assets may be used as part of an OPCO-PROPCO strategy, to provide part of the financing for the acquisitions of the underlying operating business (“OPCOs”).

 

The Company will seek to acquire equity stakes in operating companies with an asymmetrical risk/reward profile where we can accelerate growth, amplify valuation and create liquidity. The Company intends to partner with senior management that are leaders in their industry with deep domain expertise and proven, scalable business models. In some cases, the Company will identify a talented operator with deep domain expertise and build a platform around the operator upon identifying a platform acquisition.  We believe that serving as an investment vehicle for such strategy would benefit the Company by enhancing our ability to generate revenue and net income, and providing more predictable financing as the Company’s credibility and financial stability become more secured. As a first step in executing this strategy, the Company amended the by- laws and the authorized capital of its subsidiary, Rokwader Acquisition Corporation, and changed its name to True Blue Car Wash Corp. (“True Blue”). The Company then invested $7,995,000 in True Blue in exchange for 12,300,000 shares of its common stock.

 

On May 2, 2016, True Blue acquired 5 Express car washes, to acquire a leading express car wash platform in the Phoenix MSA, and entered into a forward purchase agreement for the acquisition of an additional 6 car washes, in various stages of development with the same operator. This acquisition represents the initial industry opportunity that we are intending to execute a consolidation strategy. The “Express Car Wash” model has been disruptive to the car wash industry in general, pressuring the “Full Serve” model due to price and convenience, and becoming major competition to the self-serve, or “Wand Wash” sector. Full serve car washes have adapted with a competitive strategy known as “Flex”, whereby a customer, can, for a reduced rate, get an exterior wash only, just as an “Express” offer. An express car wash allows a driver to remain in the car, while it moves through a tunnel about 120-150 feet in length, providing a quality external wash. Vacuum stations are available for customers to do self-serve vacuuming at no additional charge. The advantage of the express model to the customer is speed, convenience and price, while the advantage to the operator is the minimal number of employees required to operate it (usually 2-3), due to the automation and self-serve nature of the units, and low fixed costs, which results in high net margins.

 

The two fundamental economic drivers to an express car wash are the number of cars washed per month, and the average sales price (“ASP”) per wash. Net margins are a function of the number of cars washed per month and ASP. Loyalty programs, common to the industry have the effect of increasing both metrics that affect margin. Consolidation can have a significant effect on both price and volume.

 

Small car wash operators do not usually possess the scale to have a voice in the market, and therefore usually compete on price alone. In markets that have numerous small 1-4 unit owners, consolidating the market with significant market share has the added benefit of using brand preference and market share to become the price leader, which can lift the whole market, as price competition among lots of small owners is replaced by small owners pricing off the leader.

 

The Company has identified Express and Flex car wash operators in select MSAs that we believe can be acquired, in clusters within the select markets, which we also believe is key to consolidating the industry. The Company formed a private subsidiary, Acquisition Corporation (“CW” or “Acquisition Subsidiary”) to be used to acquire the operating car wash platform (“CW Platform”) currently under LOI. CW intends to acquire the Car Wash portfolio, for cash initiating the consolidation strategy of the car wash industry in select Metropolitan Strategic Areas (“MSA”s). Future acquisitions will be pursued to grow CW, with flexible financial options for funding, including sale-leaseback, cash and possibly shares of CW as acquisition currency, depending on needs of sellers.

The Company intends to acquire the car washes in its existing Acquisition Subsidiary, and the board of directors of the Company has authorized the Company to invest cash in the Acquisition Subsidiary in exchange for additional shares of capital stock in the Acquisition Subsidiary, for the purpose of funding the acquisition of the first car wash portfolio, as described below. The Company believes it will need to raise additional capital in the Acquisition Subsidiary in order to meet its goal of making acquisitions of several additional car washes in the target MSAs.

 

The first 8 months of operations of the 5 car washes acquired in its True Blue subsidiary are reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The remaining 6 locations are expected to be acquired under forward purchase contracts at a fixed multiple of EBITDAR. As the new sites mature to stabilized profitability, CW intends to exercise its right to acquire the sites. The 6 forward purchase sites are expected to generate similar results as the first 5 locations in annual EBITDA at the time of acquisition exercise. All of the acquisitions are subject to final due-diligence and definitive agreements (“Definitive Documents”). In addition to the first 5 acquired car wash businesses, CW has entered into Letters of Intent (LOI’s) to acquire an additional 9 car washes in the PHX MSA, 5 in Southern California, 5 in Mid-West, and 10 in the North East, for a total of 29 additional car washes. The company also entered into an additional 4 Forward Purchase Agreements (“FPAs”) for the future acquisition of newly developed car washes. With the 10 FPAs, and 29 pending acquisitions, and 5 owned sites, the Company intends to own 44 car wash businesses. The company is actively pursuing several other acquisitions in each of the MSAs it is entering with initial acquisitions, in order to increase market share in each of its target MSAs. All of the LOI’s are subject to certain conditions economic milestones, that if not met, the acquisitions of some of the car washes will be terminated. There is no assurance that the acquisition of any of the car washes that are parties to the LOI’s will be completed or if completed that future operational results will be consistent with prior results of operations.

 

Through the end of our 2017 fiscal year, we intend to pursue diligently the investment vehicle strategy with a particular focus on the car wash consolidation.  As such, we expect our expenses to increase due to additional costs associated with the execution of such strategy, including additional legal, accounting and consulting fees.

 

Car Wash Industry Overview

 

·According to Road and Travel Magazine, nearly $24 billion is spent by US vehicle owners every year repairing the damage corrosion causes.
·The Environmental Protection Agency reports that acid rain, which is particularly problematic in urban and industrial areas, leads to paint damage on vehicles when the moisture evaporates.
·Salt from the sea, salt added to winter roads, and even tree sap or dead bugs can all cause rust under the carriage, in the wheel wells, or even under the hood.
·Just 1-2 professional car washes per month allow vehicle owners the opportunity to maintain their dignity while providing proactive interventions for one of their biggest investments.
·The number of untapped consumers is large: a recent survey shows that more than 50% of car owners wash their cars less than once a month and another 16% of owners say that they never wash their cars.
·Carlove.org reports that 27% of vehicle owners say that their car smells or that it used to smell because of the garbage they kept in it.
·There are currently just 75,000 car washes in the United States, which means there are only about 3 car washes for every incorporated community.

 

Latigo Music Publishing Business

 

After the completion of the Transaction in May 2015, our music publishing business continued uninterrupted.  The music publishing business includes copywriting musical compositions that are written by various songwriters and composers. Music publishers exploit the copyrights to produce revenues via sales of recordings and other musical usages such as commercials, radio plays and television shows. The music publishing business is primarily an intellectual property business focused on the exploitation of the song itself. In return for promoting, placing, marketing and the administration of the songwriter’s creativity, we receive a share of the revenues generated from the use of the song(s). We expect that our publishing revenue will be derived from two principal sources:

 

☐ · Mechanical: Latigo, as licensor receives royalties with respect to songs embodied in recordings sold in any format or configuration, including physical recordings (e.g. CD’s, DVD’s, video cassettes), online and wireless downloads.
☐ · Performance: Latigo, as licensor, receives royalties if the song is performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio, cable and satellite, live concert performances or other venues, such as nightclubs and stage theatrical productions.

One of Latigo’s assets is a music catalog (the "Latigo Catalog") that was acquired as part of our acquisition of Latigo on April 23, 2007.  The current Latigo catalog (including copyrights and publishing rights) consists of 306 original songs written in whole or in part by Andrew Dorff (106), Gary Harju (50) and Jeston Cade (150). Andrew Dorff, an adult son of Steve Dorff, a director of the Company and President of Latigo.  Other songwriters and their publishing designees own the balance of the percentages of these songs.  This is standard procedure in the music industry as many songs are collaborations of more than one writer.  Other songwriters also sometimes have their own publishing designees. Andrew Dorff’s promising career was ended when he was killed in a tragic accident in December 2016. The Company is evaluating alternatives for its music catalog, given the future uncertainty of new catalog rights based on events of last year.

 

As a rule, total income is typically split 50% each between the publisher and the writer in a music publishing catalog. Publishers generally collect all income except for the “writers share” from public performance income. Writer’s receive their share of royalties for public performance directly from performing rights organizations such as Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”) and the publishers only collect the “publisher’s share” of public performance income.

 

Music Industry Overview

 

Music is one of the primary entertainment forms of the modern era. The industry is highly competitive, based on consumer preferences, and changes rapidly due to consumer demand and advancements in technology. To be competitive, companies must be able to discover and develop artists and talents that have appeal beyond a domestic audience. They must also be able to successfully promote and market these acts, and maintain strong music publishing catalogues. These catalogues provide for lucrative business opportunities that can be exploited year after year, are not at the mercy of changing technologies. The nature of copyrights is for their value to possibly increase over years with very minimal expense. For example: one song that gets recorded and sells units can generate income that can continue for many years. This one song can raise the value of the entire catalog. The top five music consuming countries continue to be the United States, England, France, Japan, and Germany.

 

Digital Piracy has grown dramatically, enabled by the increasing penetration of broadband Internet access and the ubiquity of powerful microprocessors, fast optical drives (particularly with writable media, such as CD-R) and large inexpensive disk storage in personal computers. The combination of these technologies has allowed consumers to easily, flawlessly and almost instantaneously make high quality copies of music using a home computer by “ripping” or converting musical content from CDs into digital files, stored on local disks. International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (“IFPI”) estimates that billions of songs are illegally downloaded every year. 

 

Competition

 

We encounter intense competition in our business. The competition is experienced, competent and they have far greater financial and marketing resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the development, sales and marketing of their services and artists than are available to us. 

 

The car wash industry is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on location, facilities, customer service, available services and rates. The Company's competitors may have significantly greater financial and operating resources than the Company. The Company faces competition from sources outside the car wash industry, such as gas stations, that offer automated car wash services. Because barriers to entry in the general car wash industry are relatively low, competition may arise from new sources not currently competing with the Company.

 

Almost all of our competitors offer a wider range of services and have greater name recognition and more extensive artist base and marketing outlets for their products than Latigo. We compete with other well-known music companies and music publishers to identify and sign new artists and songwriters. In addition, our competitors may from time to time reduce their prices in an effort to expand market share and introduce new services, or improve the quality of their products or services. Our music publishing business competes not only with other music publishing companies, but also with songwriters who publish their own works. We are also dependent on securing artists that appeal to the music buying customers, and the competition with other music companies for such talent is intense.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On April 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan for the sale of the Company’s music publishing business held by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Latigo Shore Music, Inc. (“Latigo”). Due to the Company’s shift in business strategies from the music publishing business to being an investment and acquisition vehicle to acquire operating car wash businesses, the Company deemed necessary for the disposal of its music publishing segment in order to concentrate its full efforts in carrying on its new business strategy. As such, the Board has instructed the management of the Company to execute a plan for the sale of Latigo’s music publishing business. The Company expects to sell Latigo’s music publishing business at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and expects the sale to be completed within the next few months. There is no assurance that a sale of Latigo will be completed or if completed, at a price equal to, or in excess of its current fair value.

 

In addition, on April 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized management to change the name of the Company from Rokwader, Inc. to True Blue Holdings, Inc.

We also anticipate significant competition from other recording companies, most of which have substantial financial, technical, marketing, and management resources. This has created a greater degree of difficulty in securing proven artists and acquiring musical works by well-known artists in ways that are economically viable. Due to the continuing limitation of platforms for their artists, there is no guarantee the various music companies like Latigo can successfully compete within the music business marketplace.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2016, we had one employee. The Company utilizes various independent contractors for marketing and accounting services. True Blue has a few hundred working directly in the operating car wash business, for True Blue Car Wash Corp.

Item 2.  Properties.

  

Our corporate and operational offices are located at 15466 Los Gatos Blvd., #109-352, Los Gatos, CA 95032. The office was rented on a year lease commencing September 30, 2015 for $1,161.00 per month. In addition, music studio facilities, if needed, are provided to us at no cost to the Company by Mr. Dorff, a former Director and President of Latigo. We believe these spaces are currently adequate and plans to move to expanded office space are contingent upon raising additional capital, increasing revenues and the hiring of additional employees.

 

Our subsidiary, True Blue Car Wash Corp.’s operates five separate express car washes in Arizona. The locations are:

1702 N. 44th Street, Phoenix, AZ

711 W. Grand Avenue, Phoenix, AZ

1490 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler, AZ

1503 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ

5901 W. Bell Road, Glendale, AZ

 

The real estate where these operations are located is being leased from an unrelated third party, Spirit Master Funding X, LLC (“Spirit”). True Blue signed a lease with Spirit on September 29, 2016 for an initial term of twenty years. True Blue will pay an initial base annual rent of $1,200,000 with annual increases of 2% of the base annual rent then in effect. The rent adjustments will begin on October 1, 2017 and the first day of each October thereafter during the lease term. True Blue has the right and option to extend the lease for four additional successive periods of five years each.

Penny Stock Considerations

 

The trading of our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus are subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $100,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to: 

 

  Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 

 

8


 
 

 

  Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

  

  Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 

  Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock in the market place. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.

Plan of Operations

 

As a result of the Transaction and the change in control of the Company, our business strategy and plan of operations have evolved into two segments: (i) the management, operation, and development of car wash facilities by True Blue Car Wash Corp.; and (ii) the continuation of the Latigo music publishing business.

 

 

Management, Operation, and Development of Car Wash Facilities by True Blue Car Wash Corp.

 

The acquisition of the leading express car wash platform, in the Phoenix Metropolitan Strategic Areas (“MSAs”), by True Blue Car Wash Corp. was the first step in executing the Company’s investment strategy. True Blue has now entered the car wash industry in Arizona and it will continue with the management and operation of the acquired express car wash businesses. In addition, True Blue will continue to develop the brand it acquired as well as identify other potential car wash operations to acquire in order to grow its portfolio of car wash facilities.

 

The Company will seek to acquire equity stakes in operating companies with senior management that are leaders in their industry with deep domain expertise and proven, scalable business models. In some cases, the Company will identify a talented operator with deep domain expertise and build a platform around the operator upon identifying a platform acquisition.  We believe that serving as an investment vehicle for such strategy would benefit the Company by enhancing our ability to generate revenue and net income, and providing more predictable financing as the Company’s credibility and financial stability become more secured.

 

The first 8 months of operations of the five car washes acquired by True Blue are reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The remaining 6 locations are expected to be acquired under forward purchase contracts at a fixed multiple of EBITDAR. As the new sites mature to stabilized profitability, True Blue intends to exercise its right to acquire the sites. The 6 forward purchase sites are expected to generate similar results as the first 5 locations in annual EBITDA at the time of acquisition exercise. All of the acquisitions are subject to final due-diligence and definitive agreements. There is no assurance that the acquisition will be completed or if completed that future operational results will be consistent with prior results of operations.

 

Through the end of the Company’s 2017 fiscal year, we intend to pursue diligently the investment vehicle strategy with a particular focus on the car wash consolidation. As such, we expect our expenses to increase due to additional costs associated with the execution of such strategy, including additional legal, accounting, and consulting fees.

 

 

Latigo Music Publishing Business

 

After the completion of the Transaction in May, 2015, our music publishing business continued uninterrupted.  The music publishing business includes copywriting musical compositions that are written by various songwriters and composers. Music publishers exploit the copyrights to produce revenues via sales of recordings and other musical usages such as commercials, radio plays and television shows. The music publishing business is primarily an intellectual property business focused on the exploitation of the song itself. In return for promoting, placing, marketing and the administration of the songwriter’s creativity, we receive a share of the revenues generated from the use of the song(s). We expect that our publishing revenue will be derived from two principal sources:

 

10


 
 

 

 

· Mechanical: Latigo, as licensor receives royalties with respect to songs embodied in recordings sold in any format or configuration, including physical recordings (e.g. CD’s, DVD’s, video cassettes), online and wireless downloads.
· Performance: Latigo, as licensor, receives royalties if the song is performed publicly through broadcast of music on television, radio, cable and satellite, live concert performances or other venues, such as nightclubs and stage theatrical productions.

 

One of Latigo’s assets is a music catalog (the “Latigo Catalog”) that was acquired as part of our acquisition of Latigo on April 23, 2007. The current Latigo catalog (including copyrights and publishing rights) consists of 306 original songs written in whole or in part by Andrew Dorff (106), Gary Harju (50), and Jeston Cade (150). Andrew Dorff, an adult son of Steve Dorff, a director of the Company and President of Latigo. Other songwriters and their publishing designees own the balance of the percentages of these songs. This is standard procedure in the music industry as many songs are collaborations of more than on writer. Other songwriters also sometimes have their own publishing designees.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated $831 of revenues from its music business compared to $2,342 of revenues generated during the year ended December 31, 2015. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated $5,200,711 in revenues from its newly acquired car wash business. During the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,274,150 and $289,438, respectively. The Company also incurred acquisition related expenses of $751,354 during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $440,813 during the year ended December 31, 2015. Marketing, advertising, and operational and production expenses of Latigo for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $195,076 compared to $207,854. The Company had professional and legal fees relating to complying with the Company’s SEC reporting obligations and consulting fees of $236,755 during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $95,591 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had revenues of $5,201,542 and $2,342, respectively. The increase was entirely due to the acquisition of the five express car washes. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the net loss attributed to the Company was $(521,421) and $(744,696), respectively. The losses in 2016 were principally attributable to expenses related to costs of acquisition of the five express car washes. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had stockholders’ equity of 14,791,233, of which $10,113,899 is non-controlling interest in net assets of subsidiary. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $5,200,755.

 

Equity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses since inception of our business in 2005 and, as of December 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,750,359.  As of December 31, 2016, we had cash of $5,921,197 and a working capital of $4,779,350, compared to cash of $5,165,219 and a working capital of $5,150,265 at December 31, 2015. The increase in cash was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of stock in the Company’s subsidiary, True Blue. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the acquisition of the five express car wash businesses.

 

On December 20, 2016, Mr. William Barnett exercised 25,000 of his vested stock options in the Company. The Company received $18,750 for the exercising of these 25,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

 

On February 16, 2016, the Company’s subsidiary True Blue authorized the issuance of 150,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue stock to Gateway Advisors, Inc. (“GA”), in exchange for the contribution of Intellectual Property by GA, including the non-exclusive right to use GA’s business plan and acquisition model for the roll-up of the car wash industry. These 150,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue are subject to a vesting contingency which requires a liquidity event, defined as an effective initial public offering in an amount not less than $5,000,000, a sale of True Blue, or a merger of True Blue. Because of the inability, at this time, to estimate when, if ever, the Company would be able to meet any of the liquidity events for the shares to vest, the value for this issuance has been determined to be “de minimis.”

 

Also on February 16, 2016, the Company’s subsidiary True Blue authorized the issuance of 365,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue stock to COCO Partners, LLC (“COCO”) in exchange for the contribution to True Blue of the Letter of Intent for the purchase of Clean Freak car washes and other work related to the acquisition of Clean Freak car washes. These 365,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue are subject to a vesting contingency which requires a liquidity event, defined as an effective initial public offering in an amount not less than $5,000,000, a sale of True Blue, or a merger of True Blue. Because of the inability, at this time, to estimate when, if ever, the Company would be able to meet any of the liquidity events for the shares to vest, the value for this issuance has been determined to be “de minimis.”

 

11


 
 

 

As discussed above, the Company recently completed the acquisition of five express car wash businesses as part of an investment strategy by Coco to utilize the Company as an investment vehicle to acquire other operating companies with significant revenue and cash flow, which in turn may enhance the Company’s liquidity and capital resources.  During the period from acquisition, May 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the five newly acquired car washes produced revenues of $5,200,711. The car washes are expected to provide sufficient cash flow to fund their operations.  

 

To the extent that the Company's capital resources are insufficient to meet make further acquisitions, the Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with certain investors, corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of the Company's future financing requirements.  No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate plans for future acquisitions.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are based on the application of significant accounting policies. In preparing the financial statements, Management has to make significant judgments and estimates. Management continuously evaluates information used to make these estimates as our business and the economic environment change.

The following is a summary of our most critical accounting policies and estimates. See Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a listing of our other significant account policies.

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 related to Business Combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Goodwill was recorded and it represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Additionally, Topic 805 requires that identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, separate from goodwill, be recorded at their acquisition date fair value. In the event the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired exceed the purchase price paid, a bargain purchase gain is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

As required by FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, The Company tests Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at least annually for impairment or when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are reviewed, at least annually, for impairment, or when events or circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

As required by FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable.

 

Royalty revenues are earned from the receipt of royalties relating to the licensing of rights in musical compositions. The receipt of royalties principally relates to amounts earned from the public performance of copyrighted material, the mechanical reproduction of copyrighted material on recorded media including digital formats, and the use of copyrighted material in synchronization with visual images. Consistent with industry practice, music publishing royalties generally are recognized as revenue when cash is received. Revenue generally is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

 

12


 
 

 

Sales revenue is recognized when earned based on three different scenarios. A customer can purchase one individual car wash and revenue is recognized at the time the car wash is provided. A second scenario is when a customer purchases a monthly membership; the Company recognizes the revenue when the membership is paid. The third scenario is for certain customers that are billed on a monthly basis. For these customers, revenue is recognized each time the customer comes in for a car wash. They are billed at the end of the month for services provided during that month.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740 related to Income Taxes (Topic 740). According to Topic 740, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end.

 

For federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations must be deferred and then they may be written off over a 180-month period. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until utilized for federal tax purposes. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets since there is no assurance of future taxable income. Additionally, the Company may reserve a portion of the deferred tax assets due to restrictions of tax benefits related to changes in ownership.

 

The Company utilizes the Topic 740 to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position. The first step involves the determination of whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This topic also provides guidance on the accounting for related interest and penalties, financial statement classification and disclosure. The Company’s policy is that any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense when incurred.

 

 Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Since our inception through December 31, 2016, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

 

Rokwader, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rokwader, Inc. (the "Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ROKWADER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

HISTORY

 

ROKWADER, INC. (the “Company”), was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2005 as a vehicle to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business that primarily desires to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly-held corporation. On April 23, 2007, Rokwader completed an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Latigo Shore Music, Inc. (“Latigo”).

 

In May and June 2015, the Company underwent a change of control when it sold an aggregate of 15,250,000 shares of its common stock, together with a warrant to purchase an additional 5,900,000 shares of its common stock to Coco Partners, LLC (“Coco”). As a result of this transaction and the change of control of the Company, our business strategies and plan of operations has evolved into two segments: (i) the continuation of the Latigo music publishing business; and (ii) the investment and acquisition vehicle focused on Rokwader Acquisition Corp. (“RAC”) supported by Coco.

 

On May 1, 2016, one the Company’s subsidiaries, RAC, acquired a number of car wash businesses in Arizona and entered into multiple agreements related to the acquisition of these businesses. With these acquisitions, the Company has entered the car wash market in Arizona where it plans to establish itself as the market share leader in that Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) in the car wash industry. With both of these acquisitions, the Company has moved from being a vehicle to acquire target companies to a Company with a fully operational business.

 

On May 11, 2016, RAC changed its name to True Blue Car Wash Corp (“True Blue”).

 

Prior to the acquisition of the car wash businesses by True Blue, substantially all of the business conducted by Rokwader was through Latigo, its wholly-owned subsidiary. Subsequently, the Company’s business will be focused on growth through True Blue and its car wash acquisitions. Through its majority-owned subsidiary, True Blue, the Company intends to acquire additional car washes, and the board of directors of the Company has authorized the Company to invest cash in True Blue in exchange for additional shares of capital stock in True Blue, for the purpose of funding the acquisition of True Blue’s car wash portfolio. The Company believes it will need to raise additional capital in order for True Blue to meet its goal of making acquisitions of several additional car washes in the target MSAs.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rokwader, Inc. and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company owns 100% of its subsidiary, Latigo Shore Music, Inc. The Company also owns 62.27% of its majority-owned subsidiary, True Blue Car Wash Corp.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had zero cash equivalents.

 

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains all cash in deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts.

ROKWADER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

The Company holds more than $250,000 in interest bearing accounts at one bank, thus there is a credit risk related to these cash deposits since these amounts exceed the current federally insured amount of $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had cash balances of $5,912,197 in three banks and the Company had a credit risk of $5,671,197. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cash balances of $5,165,219 in two banks and the Company had a credit risk related to these cash deposits as of December 31, 2015 of $4,915,219.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital of $4,798,100, including $5,921,197 of cash on hand. The Company also generated positive cash flow of $527,485 from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016. The positive cash flow from operations was the result of an acquisition, on May 1, 2016 of five operating car washes as described in Note 2.

 

As a result of the acquisition, by True Blue of five Express Car Washes (“Express”) from a leading Express Car Wash operator in the Phoenix area, and the agreements to purchase an additional six Express Car Washes from the same operator, the Company has commenced to generate significant revenues, including $5,201,542 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company believes this acquisition will help accelerate growth, amplify valuation, and create liquidity.

 

Through its subsidiary, True Blue, the Company intends to acquire additional car washes in select Metropolitan Strategic Areas (“MSAs”) as part of its investment and operating strategy. True Blue has identified several Express and Full Service Car Washes (“Flex”) that could be acquired. The Company believes it will incur additional costs associated with the execution of this investment strategy, including legal, accounting, and consulting fees to fund these prospective acquisitions. The Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees, and from other sources of, such additional financings.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company reports accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated collection losses to be incurred. Estimated losses are based on actual collection experience and management’s evaluation of the current status of existing receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on evaluation of various factors influencing the collectability of all receivables. Management anticipates no problems with collection and no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary at December 31, 2016. There were no accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015.

 

A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. No interest is charged on past-due receivables.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which are as follows:

 

Machinery and Equipment 2-15 years
Furniture 2-10 years
Leasehold Improvements 15 years

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of major improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations of the period.

ROKWADER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 related to Business Combinations, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Goodwill was recorded and it represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net tangible and intangibles assets acquired. Additionally, Topic 805 requires that identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, separate from goodwill, be recorded at their acquisition date fair value. In the event the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired exceed the purchase price paid, a bargain purchase gain is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover the carrying amount. Long-lived assets that will no longer be used in our business are written-off in the period identified since they are no longer expected to generate any positive cash flows for us. Long-lived assets that continue to be used by us are periodically evaluated for recoverability. Such evaluation is based on various analyses, including cash flow and profitability projections. The analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than net book value of the assets, the carrying value of the assets is written down to its estimated fair value.

 

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

As required by FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, The Company tests Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at least annually for impairment or when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite life are reviewed, at least annually, for impairment, or when events or circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Based on the review of goodwill and the intangible assets, no impairment loss was recorded as of December 31, 2016 or as of December 31, 2015.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

As required by FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable.

 

Royalty revenues are earned from the receipt of royalties relating to the licensing of rights in musical compositions. The receipt of royalties principally relates to amounts earned from the public performance of copyrighted material, the mechanical reproduction of copyrighted material on recorded media including digital formats, and the use of copyrighted material in synchronization with visual images. Consistent with industry practice, music publishing royalties generally are recognized as revenue when cash is received. Revenue generally is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

 

Sales revenue from the Company’s car wash operations is recognized when earned based on three different scenarios:

 

1.A customer can purchase one individual car wash and revenue is recognized at the time the car wash is provided.
2.A customer purchases a monthly membership; the Company recognizes the revenue when the membership is paid. If a customer requests for their membership to be cancelled, the Company authorizes a pro-rata refund for the days the membership is not used.
3.The third scenario is for certain customers that are billed on a monthly basis. For these customers, revenue is recognized each time the customer comes in for a car wash. They are billed at the end of the month for services provided during that month.

ROKWADER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

The Company determined that the revenue recognition criteria from their car wash operations, is met in each of these three different scenarios. An arrangement exists when a customer uses one of the Company’s car wash facilities. Delivery has occurred when the customer’s car is washed. The sales price is fixed or determinable when the customer selects a car wash from a number of options offered by the Company. Each option has a predetermined price associated with it. Lastly, collection is done prior to the car wash service being provided, in scenarios 1 and 2. Collection in scenario 3 is done after the car wash service is provided only for customers that have established their credit worthiness.

 

ADVERTISING EXPENSES

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. Total advertising expenses approximated $9,101 and zero for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognize the cost as an expense on a straight line basis over the employee requisite service period. We estimate the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740 related to Income Taxes (Topic 740). According to Topic 740, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end.

 

For federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses incurred prior to the commencement of operations must be deferred and then they may be written off over a 180-month period. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until utilized for federal tax purposes. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax assets since there is no assurance of future taxable income. Additionally, the Company may reserve a portion of the deferred tax assets due to restrictions of tax benefits related to changes in ownership.

 

The Company utilizes the Topic 740 to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position. The first step involves the determination of whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This topic also provides guidance on the accounting for related interest and penalties, financial statement classification and disclosure. The Company’s policy is that any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense when incurred. The Company has no uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties requiring accrual at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

EQUITY BASED PAYMENTS TO NON-EMPLOYEES

 

The Company applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 505 related to Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees to account for the options and warrants issued, as disclosed in Note 3 of these consolidated financial statements. According to Topic 505, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company believes that fair value of these options and warrants is a more reliable measure of the consideration received for services performed for the Company. We determined the fair value of these equity instruments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Factors used in the determination of the fair value of these equity instruments include, the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the equity instrument, the volatility of the underlying stock, the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the equity instrument.

 

PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Board of Directors of True Blue, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, approved the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and designates these shares as Series A 4% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”). The Series A Preferred has a face amount of $3.75. The Series A Preferred pays a 4% annual dividend on the face amount, payable quarterly, in arrears. True Blue may defer payment of the dividend, in the event loan covenants or other financial restrictions prevent payment, but in such event the dividend shall accrue, and be paid on a Liquidity or Liquidation Event. A Liquidity Event is defined as an initial public offering, a sale, or a merger. Each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred is entitled to have one non-cumulative vote each, at each meeting of stockholder of True Blue with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of True Blue for their action or consideration. The stockholders shall have the right at any time to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, at an initial conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each one share of Series A Preferred surrendered for conversion.

SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

 

FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about a public entity’s reportable segments. As of December 31, 2016, the Company operated through two reportable business segments: (1) Latigo music publishing business; and (2) the investment and acquisition vehicle focused on True Blue. Prior to April 2016, the Company operated through one reportable business segment; however, with the addition of True Blue in April 2016, the Company segregated its operations into two reporting segments to assess the performance of its business in the same way that management intends to review our performance and make operating decisions.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 was issued by the Board to determine whether amendments, similar to those in 2014, that allowed private companies an alternative accounting treatment for subsequently measuring goodwill, should be considered for other entities, including public business entities and not-for-profit entities. The amendments in this Update state that to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

 

Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.

 

The Board also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets.

 

An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.

 

This Update also includes amendments to the Overview and Background Sections of the Codification (as discussed in Part II of the amendments) as part of the Board’s initiative to unify and improve the Overview and Background Sections across Topics and Subtopics. These changes should not affect the related guidance in these Subtopics.

 

An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this Update.

 

A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the guidance of this Update for future implementation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 was issued by the Board to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this Update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this Update (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two sets of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the Board has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. Lastly, the amendments in this Update narrow the definition of the term output so that the term is consistent with how outputs are described in Topic 606. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company has assessed the application of this Update and does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-20 was issued by the Board to improve Topic 606. The issues addressed by this Update are as follows:

 

1)Loan Guarantee Fees – The amendments in this Update clarify guarantee fees within the scope of Topic 460 (other than product or service warranties) are not within the scope of Topic 606. Entities should see Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for guarantees accounted for as derivatives
2)Contract Costs – Impairment Testing – The amendments in this Update clarify that when performing impairment testing an entity should (a) consider expected contract renewals and extensions and (b) include both the amount of consideration it already has received but has not recognized as revenue and the amount it expects to receive in the future.
3)Contract Costs – Interaction of Impairment Testing with Guidance in Other Topics - The amendments in this Update clarify that impairment testing first should be performed on assets not within the scope of Topic 340, Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, or Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (such as Topic 330, Inventory), then assets within the scope of Topic 340, then asset groups and reporting units within the scope of Topic 360 and Topic 350.
4)Provisions for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts - The amendments in this Update require that the provision for losses be determined at least at the contract level. However, the amendments allow an entity to determine the provision for losses at the performance obligation level as an accounting policy election.
5)Scope of Topic 606 - The amendments in this Update remove the term insurance from the scope exception to clarify that all contracts within the scope of Topic 944 are excluded from the scope of Topic 606.
6)Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations - The amendments in this Update provide optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue. The amendments in this Update also expand the information that is required to be disclosed when an entity applies one of the optional exemptions.
7)Disclosure of Prior-Period Performance Obligations - The amendments in this Update clarify that the disclosure of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods applies to all performance obligations and is not limited to performance obligations with corresponding contract balances.
8)Contract Modifications Example - The amendments in this Update better align Example 7 with the principles in Topic 606.
9)Contract Asset versus Receivable - The amendments in this Update provide a better link between the analysis in Example 38, Case B and the receivables presentation guidance in Topic 606.
10)Refund Liability - The amendment in this Update removes the reference to the term contract liability from the journal entry in Example 40.

11)Advertising Costs - The amendments in this Update reinstate the guidance on the accrual of advertising costs and also move the guidance to Topic 720, Other Expenses.
12)Fixed-Odds Wagering Contracts in the Casino Industry - The amendments in this Update (a) create a new Subtopic 924- 815, Entertainment—Casinos— Derivatives and Hedging, which includes a scope exception from derivatives guidance for fixed-odds wagering contracts and (b) includes a scope exception within Topic 815 for fixed-odds wagering contracts issued by casino entities.
13)Cost Capitalization for Advisors to Private Funds and Public Funds - The amendments in this Update align the cost-capitalization guidance for advisors to both public funds and private funds in Topic 946.

 

The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Company is currently assessing this guidance for future implementation.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (ASU 2016-10). ASU 2016-10 was issued by the Board to improve Topic 606 by reducing:

 

1)The potential for diversity in practice at initial application
2)The cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis.

 

The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

 

1)Identify the contract(s) with a customer
2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3)Determine the transaction price.
4)Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5)Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guide, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-10 are for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. FASB ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Company is currently assessing this guidance for future implementation.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of the Board’s Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in this Update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, Accounting for Income Taxes, Classification of Excess Tax Benefits on the Statement of Cash Flows, Forfeitures, Minimum Statutory Tax Withholding Requirements, Classification of Employee Taxes Paid on the Statement of Cash Flows When an Employer Withholds Shares for Tax-Withholding Purposes, Practical Expedient- Expected Term, and Intrinsic Value. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing this guidance for future implementation.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. In addition, also consistent with the previous leases guidance, a lessee (and a lessor) should exclude most variable lease payments in measuring lease assets and lease liabilities, other than those that depend on an index or a rate or are in substance fixed payments.

 

For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP.

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing this guidance for future implementation.

 

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

On May 1, 2016, True Blue Car Wash Corp. (“True Blue”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company and formerly known as Rokwader Acquisition Corp, completed the acquisitions of five car wash businesses in Arizona, collectively known as Clean Freak Car Wash (“Clean Freak”), and entered into four individual real property lease agreements with each car wash business for use of the premises where these car wash businesses are located. Additionally, True Blue entered into separate Forward Purchase Agreements with six other car wash businesses to purchase all of their operations and business property upon satisfaction of certain financial performance metrics. With these acquisitions, the Company has entered the car wash market in Arizona where it plans to establish itself as a leader in the car wash industry.

 

True Blue agreed to purchase from the shareholders of Clean Freak USA, Inc. 100% of their stock. Clean Freak USA, Inc. is a privately held company. Clean Freak USA, Inc.’s business is the management, operation, and development of car wash facilities and related uses such as but not limited to convenient shop, restaurants, and other facilities located within or adjacent to the car wash facility. True Blue agreed to purchase these shares in consideration of 800,000 shares of True Blue’s Series A 4% convertible preferred stock at a price of $3.75 per share for a total of $3,000,000.

 

The consideration will be transferred to the shareholders of Clean Freak USA, Inc. in two portions. The first portion will be a transfer of 400,000 shares of True Blue’s Series A 4% convertible preferred stock at April 30, 2016, the closing date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The remaining 400,000 shares of Series A 4% convertible preferred stock will be treated as contingent consideration and will be transferred to the shareholders when all the Retained Car Wash Businesses listed in the Stock Purchase Agreement are purchased by True Blue pursuant to Forward Purchase Agreements in place between True Blue and the Retained Car Wash Businesses.

 

As part of the acquisition of the Clean Freak car wash businesses, True Blue entered into Asset Contribution Agreements (“ACA”) with five separate car wash businesses. True Blue entered into an ACA with CF Car Wash I, LLC in which True Blue agreed to acquire certain assets owned by CF Car Wash I, LLC, except for real estate, for $1,968,133 of which $888,803 was in cash and $1,079,330 was in True Blue Series A 4% convertible preferred stock at a price of $3.75 per share.

 

True Blue also entered into an ACA with CF Car Wash II, LLC in which True Blue agreed to acquire certain assets owned by CF Car Wash II, LLC, except for real estate, for $1,284,166 of which $300,943 was in cash and $983,223 was in True Blue Series A 4% convertible preferred stock at a price of $3.75 per share.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

 

A third separate ACA was entered into by True Blue with CF Car Wash Camelback, LLC to acquire certain assets owned by CF Car Wash Camelback, LLC, except for real estate, for $1,293,334 of which $633,676 was in cash and $659,658 was in True Blue Series A 4% convertible preferred stock at a price of $3.75 per share.

 

A fourth ACA was entered into by True Blue with CF Car Wash Chandler, LLC in which True Blue agreed to acquire certain assets owned by CF Car Wash Chandler, LLC, except for real estate, for $262,500 in cash.

 

The fifth ACA agreement was with CF Car Wash Bell, LLC in which True Blue agreed to acquire certain assets owned by CF Car Wash Bell, LLC for $2,602,500 of which $1,882,303 was in cash and $720,197 was in True Blue Series A 4% convertible preferred stock valued at a price of $3.75.

 

In addition, on April 30, 2016, True Blue entered into real property lease agreements with CF Car Wash I, LLC, CF Car Wash II, LLC, CF Car Wash Camelback, LLC, and CF Car Wash Chandler, LLC to lease the premises where each of the four car wash businesses are located. In June 2016, these properties were sold to Lifestyle Property Partners, LP and the real property lease agreements were transferred to Lifestyle Property Partners, LP. Lifestyle Property Partners, LP is a related party and is owned, in part, by the President of the Company. On September 16, 2016, Lifestyle Property Partners, LP assigned ownership of the properties to COCO Partners, LLC and COCO Partners sold the real estate to Spirit Master Funding X, LLC (“Spirit”), a non-related party. True Blue entered into a new lease agreement with Spirit and the leases with Lifestyle Property Partners, LP were cancelled.

 

Additionally, on May 1, 2016, True Blue entered into a Management Agreement with Wash Management Group, LLC (WMG), an Arizona Limited Liability Company. The purpose of this Agreement is to hire WMG to serve as the general manager of the first five express car wash businesses acquired by True Blue, the additional six express car wash business, collectively known as the Retained Car Wash Business, and other car wash operations defined as an express car wash, acquired or developed, in the future, by True Blue or WMG. Due to the nature of this Management Agreement, True Blue treated this as a separate transaction and not considered it part of the consideration transferred for the Clean Freak car washes.

 

The FASB, in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (Topic 805), defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination. It also establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. The FASB, in Topic 805, requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Topic 805 also states that the acquirer is to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date.

 

True Blue allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the consideration paid for each acquisition and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the stock issued as part of the consideration transferred was measured on the closing date of the acquisition based on agreements between True Blue and third parties. The fair value of contingent consideration was determined by applying an acceptable model based on a discounted expected payment. The model uses a probability weight which True Blue determined to be 95%. The model also excludes the dividend cash flow that would not be paid to the sellers until the preferred stock is actually issued discounted using a 4% rate.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at their fair values as of April 30, 2016. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The fair values of the net assets acquired were determined using valuation techniques specified in the fair value hierarchy in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (FASB ASC 820). The fair values of the acquired net assets are based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and therefore qualify as Level 3 inputs according to FASB ASC 820. True Blue obtained independent third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the net assets acquired. From the appraisal, True Blue determined that the proper fair value of these assets would be best derived using an income valuation technique, which derives a value indication from the property’s capacity to generate revenue. True Blue determined that using this approach would be more reliable as most owners would be focused on the potential income that could be generated from the assets.

 

Subsequent to the provisional allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company recorded an adjustment to goodwill resulting in a net decrease to goodwill of $1,187,282. This decrease was due to the final fair value valuation of the acquired assets. This was the result of an internal analysis performed by the Company that properly identified certain acquired assets as expenditures rather than assets.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

 

   Provisional     Final
   Valuation  Adjustments/  Valuation
   at April 30, 2016  Reclassifications  at April 30, 2016
Car Wash Equipment   1,057,545    928,719    1,986,264

    10,372,338    —      10,372,338 

 

The fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed from CF Car Wash Chandler, LLC acquisition exceeded the total consideration paid. Therefore, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $196,523 which was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the recognition of the gain on bargain purchase, the Company reassessed the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The Company believes it was able to acquire those assets of CF Car Wash Chandler, LLC for less than their fair value due to the seller’s built-in low margin for increased competition in their location.

 

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined financial results for the Company and Clean Freak Car Wash as if the Clean Freak Car Wash acquisition had been completed at the beginning of the Company’s prior year, January 1, 2015.

NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

 

On December 20, 2016, Mr. William Barnett exercised 25,000 of his vested stock options at an exercise price of $0.75 per share for a total of $18,750.

 

On August 16, 2016, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary True Blue Car Wash Corp. (“True Blue”) authorized the issuance of 150,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue stock to Gateway Advisors, Inc. (“GA”), in exchange for the contribution of Intellectual Property by GA, including the non-exclusive right to use GA’s business plan and acquisition model for the roll-up of the car wash industry. These 150,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue are subject to a vesting contingency which requires a liquidity event, defined as an effective initial public offering in an amount not less than $5,000,000, a sale of True Blue, or a merger of True Blue. Because of the inability, at this time, to estimate when, if ever, the Company would be able to meet any of the liquidity events for the shares to vest, the value for this issuance has been determined to be “de minimis.”

 

On December 21, 2015, Yale Farar, a former officer and director of the Company, LLC exercised 66,667 of its vested stock options. The Company issued 66,667 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share for a total of $50,000.

 

On December 22, 2015, the Company extended its remaining 258,333 outstanding stock options through December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, 233,333 of these stock options expired and were not extended.

 

On February 18, 2015, the Company issued 317,392 shares of common stock valued at the price of $0.6177 in an agreement to convert $135,000 of the oldest notes payable and accrued interest of $61,060 which were owed to Mr. Yale Farar and Brooktide LLC. As the date herein, the average price between the “bid and “ask” price of the Company’s stock on the OTC: QB market was $0.42 per share.

 

On February 24, 2015, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock at the price of $0.44, for services rendered by Jeston Cade. The shares of common stock are restricted shares and were valued at the price of $0.44, the closing price on February 24, 2014 on the OTC:OB market as of the date hereof.

 

In May 2015, Coco and the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which Coco would purchase (i) a maximum of 15,250,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 5,900,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) for an aggregate maximum purchase price of $6,100,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is payable as follows: (a) $3,050,000 for 7,625,000 shares and the Warrant upon the closing (the “Closing”) and (b) an additional 7,625,000 shares for $3,050,000 on or before June 30, 2015. The Closing occurred on May 7, 2015 and the Company received the initial purchase price of $3,050,000 and the second $3,050,000 for an additional 7,625,000 shares was received on June 30, 2015.

 

The terms of the Warrant provide that Coco has the right to purchase, at any time after the Closing until April 1, 2020, up to (i) 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, (ii) 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.000 per share and (iii) 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The Warrant includes certain anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise prices in the event of payment of dividend, subdivision and combination with respect to outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

The Transaction resulted in a change of control of the Company. With the purchase of the 15,250,000 shares, Coco acquired approximately 83.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (this does not include any potential exercise of the Warrant). Upon the Closing, Mr. Robert Wallace, who has a controlling interest in Coco, was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Corporate Secretary and as a member of our Board of Directors (the “Board”). Mr. Yale Farar resigned his position as President of the Company and remained a director until December 21, 2015 and Mr. Gary Saderup resigned his positions as the Secretary of the Company and a director of the Board.

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

 

As part of the business acquisitions that the Company’s subsidiary made on April 30, 2016, the Company acquired all rights, title and interest in a Trademark valued at $19,044. The Trademark is for the management, maintenance, operation, and development of Clean Freak car wash facilities. The Company determines that the Trademark will have an infinite life and therefore it will not amortize the intangible asset. It will instead test its Trademark for impairment at least annually in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Additionally, the Company’s acquisition of the car wash businesses resulted in the recognition of Goodwill in the amount of $7,527,287. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net identifiable assets recognized. The Goodwill recorded as part of the Clean Freak car washes acquisition primarily reflects the value of adding the Clean Freak brand to the Company. Goodwill has an indefinite life and will be tested, at least annually, for impairment.

 

On December 17, 2010, Latigo, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all right, title and interest in 50 musical compositions from the Gary Harju music catalog to the extent of his writer’s and publisher’s share for a cost of $15,000 paid in cash on the closing date of December 17, 2010. The Harju Catalog (including copyrights and publishing rights) consists of 50 original songs written in whole or in part by Mr. Gary Harju. Some of the songs are owned outright by Latigo as a result of the acquisition, and others are and will continue to be subject to publishing agreements with various music publishers, who will continue to collect the publisher’s share of royalties. The other parties who have partial interests in the catalog will continue to receive their share of royalties and other income. The Company will amortize the costs of the Harju Catalog over its estimated useful life based on projected net revenues. The Company projects to generate revenues from the Harju Catalog for an estimate of 20 years based on Mr. Harju’s past accomplishments and the ability of the recorded music to generate revenues for long periods of time. Therefore, the Company estimated the useful life of the Harju Catalog to be 20 years.

 

On June 1, 2013, Latigo, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all right, title and interest in Andrew Dorff’s “writer’s share” of certain musical compositions written and/or co-written by him for a cost of $40,000 paid in cash. The musical compositions include 106 songs total. The Company currently owns the publishing rights from these musical compositions. Some of the songs are owned outright by Latigo as a result of the acquisition, and others are and will continue to be subject to publishing agreements with various music publishers, who will continue to collect the publisher’s share of royalties and other income. The Company will amortize the costs of Andrew Dorff’s “writer’s share” over its estimated useful life based on projected net revenues. The Company projects to generate revenues from Andrew Dorff’s “writer’s share” for an estimate of 20 years based on Andrew Dorff’s past accomplishments and the ability of the recorded music to generate revenues for long periods of time.

On April 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan for the sale of the Company’s music publishing business held by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Latigo Shore Music, Inc. (“Latigo”). Due to the Company’s shift in business strategies from the music publishing business to being an investment and acquisition vehicle to acquire operating car wash businesses, the Company deemed necessary for the disposal of its music publishing segment in order to concentrate its full efforts in carrying on its new business strategy. As such, the Board has instructed the management of the Company to execute a plan for the sale of Latigo’s music publishing business. The Company expects to sell Latigo’s music publishing business at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and expects the sale to be completed within a year from the date of the Board approval.

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

 

Not Applicable

 

Item 9A Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls are also designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.

 

The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our principal executive officer included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Annual Report. Our management, including our chief executive officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016 were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, described below, in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the registrant's internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to inadequate processes or inappropriate controls designed to validate the accurate reporting of accounting transactions and their accounting treatment in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we believe we have a material weakness because there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the interim or annual financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

With the oversight of management, the Company has begun taking steps and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness. With respect to ensuring the timely and accurate recording of accounting transactions and filing of our financial results, management has begun implementation of its remediation plan by hiring a controller who is knowledgeable of U.S. GAAP and SEC Rules and Regulations. This individual will help to oversee our accounting systems, design internal controls, ensure compliance, implement accounting policies and procedures, and implement process improvements, in order for the Company to report within the time periods specified under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

Additionally, as part of management’s remediation plan, management intends to:

·Implement a more robust accounting policy to document the accounting for complex accounting transactions in a comprehensive technical memorandum.
·Management will work, closely, with consultants to streamline activities and implement best practices to record accounting transactions.

 

While management is closely monitoring the implementation of this remediation plan, there is no assurance that the aforementioned plan will be sufficient and that additional steps may not be necessary.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

Indemnification of Executive Officers and Directors

 

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits indemnification of directors, officers, and employees of corporations under certain conditions subject to certain limitations. Article VII of our Certificate of Incorporation states that we may provide indemnification of our agents, including our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Corporation Law. In the event that a claim for indemnification (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our sole director and officer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is appropriate and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of its Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and each exchange on which the Company's securities are registered. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all ownership forms they file.

 

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from the officers, directors, or persons holding greater than 10% of Company stock, no ownership disclosure form (SEC Form 5) was required for those persons. All of the required Form 3's and up to date Form 4's for the directors have been filed with the SEC.

Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security.

Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power. In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by each person, we include any shares of common stock that could be acquired within 60 days of May 24, 2017, by the exercise of options or warrants. These shares, however, are not counted in computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

These 365,000 restricted common stock shares of True Blue are subject to a vesting contingency which requires a liquidity event, defined as an effective initial public offering in an amount not less than $5,000,000, a sale of True Blue, or a merger of True Blue.

In May 2015, COCO and the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which COCO purchased (i) a maximum of 15,250,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 5,900,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) for an aggregate maximum purchase price of $6,100,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The terms of the Warrant provide that COCO has the right to purchase, at any time after the Closing until April 1, 2020, up to (i) 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, (ii) 500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.000 per share and (iii) 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The Warrant includes certain anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise prices in the event of payment of dividend, subdivision and combination with respect to outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

The transaction set forth above resulted in a change of control of the Company. With the purchase of the 15,250,000 shares, COCO acquired approximately 83.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (this does not include any potential exercise of the Warrant).

 

The Company has a loan payable to COCO Partners, LLC, a related party in the amount of $329,567 as of December 31, 2016. COCO Partners, LLC is principally owned by the President of the Company.
