PART I

 

Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

History of the Business

 

Legacy Card Company (“Legacy”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, Legacy converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, Legacy merged with Cardiff International, Inc. (“Cardiff”, the “Company”), a publicly held corporation in Colorado. On August 27, 2014 Cardiff redomiciled to Florida.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff into a holding company enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public company. Cardiff began targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties, and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to our shareholders. The reason for this strategy was to protect our shareholders by acquiring profitable small- to minimum-sized businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors. The plan is to establish new classes of preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt, and acquire new businesses. By December of 2013, we were able to reduce more than 90% of all its debt; by July of 2014, we had completed the acquisition of three businesses: We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza; and Edge View Properties, Inc. We delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2015 due to difficulty obtaining information from another acquisition, which was subsequently unwound. By December of 2016 we completed the acquisition of 3 additional businesses and have 2 currently pending lender approvals.

 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

 

The following business developments have been reported in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are referenced in Part IV, Item 15, of this Annual Report:

 

FDR Enterprises, Inc. acquired on August 10, 2016;

Refreshment Concepts, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016;

Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016;

On May 25, 2017 the Company terminated its auditing firm KLJ & Associates

July 11, 2017 increased authorized common shares to 500,000,000 at par value of $0.001

July 20, 2017 Engaged Malone Bailey as Cardiff’s new auditors

July 24, 2017 Unwound the [purchase of CSSC acquisition

 

Current Business Operations

 

Cardiff is a public holding company, much like a cooperative, leveraging proven management in private companies that become subsidiaries under our umbrella. Our focus is not based on a specific industry or geographic location, but rather on a proven management, market, and historical operating margin. We target acquisitions of mature, high growth, niche companies. Cardiff’s strategy identifies and empowers select income-producing middle market private businesses and commercial real estate properties.

 

The target company’s management team typically maintains control of the day to day operations. Acquisitions become standalone autonomous subsidiaries that gain the advantages of a publicly traded company without losing their independent management control. Management enjoys the advantage of improved valuation, liquidity, synergies, and support, along with diversification and asset appreciation through collective subsidiary performance. Diversification and pooled resources leverage value and mitigate risk.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

Cardiff provides these companies both 1) the enhanced ability to raise money for operations or expansion, and 2) an equity exit and liquidity strategy for the owner, heirs, and/or Investors.

 

For investors, Cardiff provides a diversified lower risk to protect and safely enhance their investment by continually adding assets and holdings.

 

Cardiff employs a merge, acquire, and hold strategy to maximize value and potential of private, often family run, enterprises while providing diversification and risk mitigation for all shareholders.

 

Cardiff is led by strong and talented roster of executives and advisors providing expert acquisition, market guidance and added value for subsidiaries and investors. To date, Cardiff consists of the following whole-owned subsidiaries:

 

We Three, LLC (Affordable Housing Initiative) acquired on May 15, 2014; Romeo’s NY Pizza acquired on June 30, 2014;

Edge View Properties, Inc acquired on July 16, 2014; FDR Enterprises, Inc. acquired on August 10, 2016;

Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016; Refreshment Concepts, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016.

 

Organization

 

We are comprised of one parent corporation and six subsidiaries. Operations are primarily conducted through the subsidiaries of the Company.

 

Employees

 

Collectively, Cardiff currently has approximately 40 employees and anticipates hiring additional personal with new acquisitions.

 

Competition

 

We are a Small Cap holding company enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public company. Cardiff began targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties, and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to our shareholders. The reason for this strategy was to protect our shareholders by acquiring profitable small- to minimum-sized businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors. The plan is to establish new classes of preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt, and acquire new businesses.

We own the following trademarks: Cardiff USA; Mission Tuition, Collaborative Governance, Legacy Card and Small Cap Rescue.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

 

The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

 

During our startup phase we were not profitable and generated minimal revenue and no profit.

 

As of this filing, though still not profitable, Cardiff is generating revenue which helps mitigate the risk. Currently we have a small amount of consolidated stockholders’ equity. As a result, though pleased with our current results, we may never become profitable, and could go out of business.

 

Through inception until December 2014, we have restructured ourselves into a holding company and have acquired seven additional businesses; We Three, Inc. d/b/a Affordable Housing Initiative, Romeo’s NY Pizza, Edge View Properties, FDR Enterprises, Inc. Repicci’s Franchise Group and Refreshment Concepts.

 

Future sales will no longer depend on missiontuition.com, but will be derived from our new acquisitions. We cannot guarantee we will ever develop substantial revenue from our subsidiary companies and there is no assurance that we will achieve profitability.

 

Because we had incurred operating losses from our inception, we still consider ourselves a going concern.

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our accountants have expressed concern about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our continued net losses and need for additional capital. However, we believe our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

 

·our ability to acquire profitable businesses within CDIF; and
·our ability to generate substantial revenues; and
·our ability to obtain additional financing

 

Based upon current plans, we may incur operating losses in future periods. Also, we expect approximately $600,000 in operating costs to be incurred over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or obtaining other financing in the future to cover these operating costs. Additionally, financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to generate sufficient revenues may cause us to go out of business.

 

Since we are an early stage company that has generated minimal revenue, an investment in our shares is highly risky and could result in a complete loss of your investment if we are unsuccessful in our business plans.

 

We were incorporated in August 2001 and have focused all of our efforts on the development of our product and we have generated minimal amounts revenue. Further, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you hold, and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

 

Future acquisitions are important to our success. We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions into our operations.

 

The acquisition of new companies is central to our business model and critically important to our success. Although we generally seek companies that have positive cash flows, we cannot be certain that the company’s acquired will remain cash flow positive and could possibly lose revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that the acquisitions acquired will continue as profitable businesses and could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

Successful implementation of our business strategy depends on factors specific to acquiring successful businesses. Adverse changes in our acquisition process could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:

 

·The competitive environment in the specific field of business acquired; and
·Our ability to acquire the right businesses that meet customers’ needs; and
·Our ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment.

 

There are no substantial barriers to acquire established businesses and because we can acquire businesses in all types of industries, there is no guarantee the Company will acquire additional businesses, which could severely limit our proposed sales and revenues. If we cannot acquire established businesses, it could result in the loss of your investment.

 

Since we have no copyright protection, unauthorized persons may attempt to copy aspects of our business, including our governance design or functionality, services or marketing materials. Any encroachment upon our corporate information, including the unauthorized use of our brand name, the use of a similar name by a competing company or a lawsuit initiated against us for infringement upon another company's proprietary information or improper use of their copyright, may affect our ability to create brand name recognition, cause customer confusion and/or have a detrimental effect on our business. Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. or International Patent and Trademark Offices may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and domain name and/or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such infringement, litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business operations and/or results of operations. As a result, an investor could lose his or her entire investment.

 

The loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact our business operations and future development, which could result in a loss of revenues and one’s ability to ever sell any shares.

 

Our performance is substantially dependent upon the professional expertise of the current officers and board of directors. Each has extensive expertise in business development and acquisitions and we are dependent on their abilities. If they are unable to perform their duties, this could have an adverse effect on business operations, financial condition and operating results if we are unable to replace them with other individuals qualified to develop and market our business. The loss of their services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any shares you hold as well as the complete loss of your investment.

 

Our stock has limited liquidity.

 

Our common stock trades on the OTCQB market. Trading volume in our shares may be sporadic and the price could experience volatility. If adverse market conditions exist, you may have difficulty selling your shares.

 

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

·actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
·changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;
·changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;
·announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
·introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products;
·departure of key personnel.

In general, buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative. Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. You may not able to sell your shares when you want to do so, if at all.

 

Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding

$200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker- dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to such sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.

 

Because of our size and limited resources, we may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls, which we are required to do in order to comply with U.S. GAAP and securities laws, and which could cause a materially adverse impact on our financial statements, the trading of our common stock and our business.

 

We are a small holding company that lacks the financial resources and qualified personnel to implement and sustain adequate internal controls As a result, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet proper internal control standards. Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with SEC rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any such deficiencies, material weaknesses or lack of compliance could result in restatements of our historical financial information, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, have an adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock, adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets and our ability to recruit personnel, lead to the delisting of our securities from the stock exchange on which they are traded, lead to litigation claims, thereby diverting management’s attention and resources, and which may lead to the payment of damages to the extent such claims are not resolved in our favor, lead to regulatory proceedings, which may result in sanctions, monetary or otherwise, and have a materially adverse effect on our reputation and business.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock for the year. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.

Holders

 

As of December 31, 2017 there were 853 record holders of our common stock, and there were 64,414,091 shares of our common stock outstanding.

 

Public Market for Common Stock

 

Our common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “CDIF”. The OTCBB is a quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter, or the OTC, equity securities. An OTCBB equity security generally is any equity that is not listed or traded on a national securities exchange. The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices per share of our common stock as reported by the OTCBB quotation service. These bid prices represent prices quoted by broker-dealers on the OTCBB quotation service. The quotations reflect inter- dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark- down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.

 

  High Close   Low Close

2nd Quarter  $.59   $.08 
3rd Quarter  $.22   $.06 
4th Quarter  $..25   $.07 

 

The market price of our common stock will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market, and other factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance.

 

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

 

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker- dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:

 

·contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
·contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
·contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
·contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
·defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
·contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

 

·the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
·the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
·the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
·monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker- dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues. We had revenues in the amount of $1,744,655 and $1,150,251 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in revenue was primarily associated with increases in sales of ice cream. We expect revenue to increase during 2017, as we will realize a full operating cycle for our current operating subsidiaries and planned expansion.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. We had costs of sales in the amount of $1,356,408 and $797,073 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in cost of sales were also primarily attributable to increase in sales of ice cream locations during the year.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consisted of depreciation, amortization and general and administrative expenses. We had operating expenses of $3,230,474 and $2,512,794 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The operating expenses in 2016 were primarily attributable to the issuance of 7,728,589 shares of common stock for marketing, management and financial strategies, resulting in non-cash stock based compensation of $1,020,602 during the December 31, 2016. Comparatively, we had non-cash stock based compensation of $501,567 in 2017 due to the issuance of 1,306,907 shares of common stock during the year and we had a loss due to impairment of goodwill of $932,529 and loss on disposal of assets of $17,647 from our Romeo’s Pizza stores, Other operating expenses remained relatively fixed for the year.

 

Non-employee stock compensation. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we issued a total of 1,306,907 and 7,728,589 shares of common stock, respectively, to four different consultants for marketing, management and financial strategies. The fair value of the stock issuance was determined by the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, at prices ranging from $0.05-$0.11 per share. Accordingly, we recognized stock based compensation of $501,567 and $1,020,602 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in connection with these issuances. These amounts are included in our financial statements.

 

Change in value of derivative liability. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the change in value of derivative liability amounted to $(1,386,055) and $1,731, respectively. In 2017, we issued 10 convertible promissory notes totaling $705,177, all of which were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at discount to the market. As a result, we had change in value of derivative liability amounted to $1,386,055 We premeasured the fair value of the converted amount at the conversion date and increased the derivative liabilities to $2,419,337, which was credited to additional paid-in capital at the conversion.

 

Interest Expense during the years end December 31, 2017 and 2016, interest expense amounted to $111,606 and $48,789, respectively. The increase in interest was a result of new borrowings in 2017.

 

Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $5,00,319 for the December 31 December 31, 2017, which is compared to the net loss for the December 31 December 31, 2016 of $2,254,492.

 

Our activities have a focus on growing revenue. We plan to continue this strategy into 2018.

To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $20,000,000 in revenue per year. Each dollar of revenue is not directly tied to increasing costs. We believe that we can become profitable without incurring additional costs under our current operating cost structure. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, our directors have orally agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2017 for working capital purposes, although they have no obligation to do so.

 

On the other hand, if we decide that we cannot operate at a profit in our current configuration, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In such event, we will probably not be profitable. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.

 

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $600,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $68,986 and a working capital deficit of $4,709,734. As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $62,948 and a working capital deficit of $3,897,131.

 

Net cash used for operating activities was $(663,830) for the December 31 December 31, 2017, which was comparable to the net cash used in operating activities of $(198,135) for the December 31 December 31, 2016. The increase in the amount of net cash used in operating activities in 2016 compared to last year was primarily attributable to a greater amount of non-cash items during the 2016 such as common stock issued for services, accrued expenses and loss on impairment of Goodwill.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $14,468 for the December 31, 2017 compared with cash provided by investing activities of $12,972 during the December 31 December 31, 2016. The cash flows provided by investing activities in 2016 was primarily attributable to the purchase of fixed assets in, offset by the cash from disposal of fixed assets in the discontinued operations.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $684,336 for the December 31 December 31, 2017, which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $176,519 for the December 31 December 31, 2016. These cash flows were related to sales of stock in the amounts of $40,000 and $136,500 during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, during 2017, we had $705,177 in proceeds from notes payable, of which $-0- was with a related party. These amounts were partially offset by repayments of $53,341 to certain notes payable. Comparatively, during 2016, financing activities provided $28,264 in proceeds from notes payable, which included $11,124 from a related party related party, partially offset by note payable repayments of $61,279 during the year.

 

Over the next twelve months we expect significant capital costs to develop operations since we have plans for acquisitions in 2018. Our operating costs of will primarily be used for operations.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds, we may be required to curtail our operating plans and possibly relinquish rights to portions of our technology or products. In addition, increases in expenses or delays in product development may adversely impact our cash position and may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

In order to continue our operations, development of our products, and implementation of our business plan, we need additional financing. We are currently attempting to obtain additional working capital in a term loan transaction.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.

 

Plan of Operation

 

In first quarter of 2013, it was decided that we restructure into a new holding company who adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Commonwealth™" a new form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public Company. Targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to our shareholders. The reason for this was to protect our shareholders by acquiring small to minimum size businesses seeking support with both financing and management. The plan was to establish new classes of Preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt and acquire new businesses. By December of 2013 the Company negated 90% plus of all debt; by May of 2014 we acquired three businesses, We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza and Edge View Properties, Inc. In August 2016, we completed additional three acquisitions, FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC and Refreshment Concepts, LLC.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

We consider our critical accounting estimates to be those that (1) involve significant judgments and uncertainties, (2) require estimates that are more difficult for management to determine, and (3) may produce materially different results when using different assumptions. We have discussed these critical accounting estimates, the basis for their underlying assumptions and estimates and the nature of our related disclosures herein with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. We believe our accounting policies specific to share-based compensation expense and estimation of the fair value of derivative liability involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements. They are discussed further below.

Derivative Liability

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the probability weighted average Lattice Binomial models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the December 31, 2017 reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Share-based compensation expense

 

We account for the issuance of stock, stock options and warrants for services from employees and non-employees based on an estimate of the fair value of options and warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations include the exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, weighted average assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected life of the option or warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividend yield.

 

The amounts recorded in the financial statements for share-based expense could vary significantly if we were to use different assumptions. For example, the assumptions we have made for the expected volatility of our stock price have been based on the historical volatility of our stock, measured over a period generally commensurate with the expected term. If we were to use a different volatility than the actual volatility of our stock price, there may be a significant variance in the amounts of share-based compensation expense from the amounts reported.

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation will negatively impact our business plans.

 

Seasonality.

 

We do not expect our revenues to be impacted by seasonal demands for our services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Legacy Card Company (“Legacy”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, Legacy converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, Legacy merged with Cardiff International, Inc. (“Cardiff”, the “Company”), a publicly held corporation. In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff into a holding company that adopted a new business model enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public company. Cardiff began targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties, and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to the Company’s shareholders. The reason for this strategy was to protect the Company’s shareholders by acquiring profitable small- to minimum-sized businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors. The plan is to establish new classes of preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt, and acquire new businesses. By December of 2013, the Company had negated more than 90% of all its debt; by December 31, 2016, the Company had completed the acquisition of six businesses: We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza; Edge View Properties, Inc.; FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC; and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC.

 

Description of Business

 

To date, the Company is not aware of any other domestic holding company using the same business philosophy or governing policies. The Company’s business footprint is to acquire strong companies that meet the following criteria: (1) in business for a minimum of two years; (2) profitable; (3) good management team; (4) little to no debt; and (5) assets of a minimum of $1,000,000. Cardiff continues to practice all business ethics under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”) and acknowledges that there are more than 43 successful Business Development Companies subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), all of which may be considered competition to Cardiff and that are established and available to the public for investment. These companies offer experienced management, dividends and financial security.

 

To date, Cardiff consists of the following whole-owned subsidiaries:

 

We Three, LLC (Affordable Housing Initiative) acquired on May 15, 2014;

Romeo’s NY Pizza acquired on June 30, 2014;

Edge View Properties, Inc. acquired on July 16, 2014;

FDR Enterprises, Inc. acquired on August 10, 2016;

Refreshment Concepts, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016;

Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardiff International, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza; Edge View Properties, Inc.; FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications would have no material effect on the reported financial results.

 

 

 

 28 

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In general, the Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis. Revenue is generally realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists between the Company and our customer(s);

2) services have been rendered;

3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and

4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Rental Income

 

The Company’s rental income is derived from the mobile home leases. The expired leases are considered month-to-month leases. In accordance with section 605- 10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition, the cost of property held for leasing by major classes of property according to nature or function, and the amount of accumulated depreciation in total, is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. There are no contingent rentals included in income in the accompanying statements of operations. With the exception of the month-to-month leases, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis and amortized into income on a monthly basis, over the lease term.

 

Restaurant Sales

 

Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. The Company reports revenue net of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is reported on the balance sheet at gross amounts due to the Company. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accounts receivable of $63,115 and $32,008, respectively. Accounts receivables are primarily generated from our subsidiaries We Three and Repicci’s in their normal course of business.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.

 

 

 

 29 

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

  Classification Useful Life
Equipment, furniture and fixtures   5 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements   10 years or lease term, if shorter

 

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, depreciation and amortization expense was $246,325 and $174,859, respectively.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived brands are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believe such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. During year-ended December 31, 2017, the company had Goodwill impairment of $932,529, related to its acquisitions of FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC; and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC. (collectively referred to as “Repicci’s Group”). The Company based this decision on impairment testing off the underlying assets, expected cash flows, decreased asset value and other factors.

 

Valuation of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and construction in progress held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. During year-ended December 31, 2017, the company had Goodwill impairment of $932,529, related to its acquisitions of FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC; and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC. (collectively referred to as “Repicci’s Group”). The Company based this decision on impairment testing off the underlying assets, expected cash flows, decreased asset value and other factors.

 

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10”) , requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with freestanding derivative instruments such as convertible promissory notes, on their issuance date to determine whether they would be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For option based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Lattice Binomial option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

 

 

 30 

 

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level Input Definition

 

Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Fair Value of Derivative Liability – December 31, 2017   $     $     $ 2,419,337     $ 2,419,337

 

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Fair Value of Derivative Liability – December 31, 2016   $     $     $     $  

  

Stock-Based Compensation – Employees

 

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

 

 

 31 

 

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

 

·Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – Non Employees

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

 

 

 32 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum, or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

·Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

 

·Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

·Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

·Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments.

 

 

 

 33 

 

 

The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

FASB ASC Subtopic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, warrants, and debts convertible into common shares. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. During a period of net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations since they would be anti-dilutive. However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future:

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had shareholders’ deficit of $3,591,279. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management has prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to it. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans. In addition, increases in expenses may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation of operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” on revenue recognition. This guidance provides 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. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The original effective date of this guidance was for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, early adoption is not permitted, and the guidance must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In July 2015, the FASB approved an optional one-year deferral of the effective date. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018.

 

The adoption has had an immaterial impact to our comparative net income and as such comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis.

 

A majority of our sales revenue continues to be recognized when products sold to customers or service has been rendered.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the accounting for leasing arrangements, particularly those arrangements classified as operating leases. This update will require entities to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all leasing arrangements. We are currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on our financial statements.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

2.ACQUISITIONS

 

On August 10, 2016, the Company completed the acquisitions of FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC; and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC. (collectively referred to as “Repicci’s Group”). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company agreed to issue 4,859,379 shares of Series H Preferred Stock as consideration for the acquisition of Repicci’s Group. The combined book value of Repicci’s Group was $(203,622) as set forth below. Based on the price of $.15 per share for the Series H Preferred Stock, which was determined by the market price of common stock at $.12 per share on the acquisition date multiplied by the conversion ratio of 1:1.25, the fair value of the stock issuance of Series H Preferred Stock was $728,907, resulting in the goodwill of $932,529. The 4,859,379 shares of Series H Preferred Stock were issued subsequently to the date of this report. Accordingly, the Company recorded Series H Preferred Stock to be issued of $728,907 in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. During year-ended December 31, 2017, the company had Goodwill impairment of $932,529, related to its acquisitions of FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC; and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC. (collectively referred to as “Repicci’s Group”). The Company based this decision on impairment testing off the underlying assets, expected cash flows, decreased asset value and other factors.

8. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

Some of the Convertible Notes issued as described below included an anti-dilution provision that allowed for the adjustment of the conversion price.

Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party

 

On April 21, 2008, the Company entered into an unsecured Convertible Debenture (“Debenture 1”) with a shareholder in the amount of $150,000. Debenture 1 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at $0.03 per share at the option of the holder no earlier than August 21, 2008. Debenture 1 bore interest at 12% per year, matured in August 2009, and was unsecured. All principal and unpaid accrued interest was due at maturity. In conjunction with the Debenture 1, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.03 per share. The warrants expired on April 20, 2013. As a result, of issued warrants, the Company recorded a $150,000 debt discount during 2008 which has been fully amortized. The Company was in default on Debenture 1, and no warrants had been exercised before expiration. The balance of Debenture 1 was $150,000 and $150,000 at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense related to Debenture 1 in amount of $18,000 and $13,500 during the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

On March 11, 2009, the Company entered into an unsecured Convertible Debenture (“Debenture 2”) with a shareholder in the amount of $15,000. Debenture 2 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at $0.03 per share at the option of the holder. Debenture 2 bore interest at 12% per year, matured on March 11, 2014, and was unsecured. All principal and unpaid accrued interest was due at maturity. The Company was in default on Debenture 2. The balance of Debenture 2 was $15,000 and $15,000 at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense related to Debenture 2 in amount of $1,800 and $1,350 during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Resulting from the tainted issue by the derivative financial instrument of the convertible notes, The Company determined that the conversion features contained in Debenture 1 and Debenture 2 carrying value represents an embedded derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Binomial-Lattice valuation model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

The following is a schedule showing the future minimum convertible loan payments in the future 5 years.

 

Year ending December,

2018    1,026,875

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s derivative liabilities are embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s convertible notes payable (see Note 8). Due to the Notes’ conversion feature, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as described in Note 8 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the statement of operations.

 

The Company used the Binomial-Lattice valuation model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $2,419,337 on December 31, 2017 and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each period and record the change of fair value in the consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period.

 

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

 

 

 50 

 

  

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in note 8. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Note 8 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

The derivative liability as of December 31, 2017, in the amount of $2,419,337 has a level 3 classification.

  

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2017:

 

  Debt
Derivative
 
Balance, December 31, 2016  $ 
Total (gains) losses     
Initial fair value of debt derivative at note issuance   2,441,029 
Mark-to-market at December 31, 2017:   59,988 
Transfers out of Level 3 upon conversion or payoff of notes payable   (81,680)
Balance, December 31, 2017  $2,419,337 
Net loss for the year included in earnings relating to the liabilities held during the year ended December 31, 2017  $1,386,055 

 

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s stock price decreased from initial valuation. As the stock price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

 

The Company used the Binomial-Lattice valuation model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $2,419,337 on December 31, 2017, and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each period, and record the change of fair value in the consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period. The Company recorded a gain in change of derivative liability of $1,380,476 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

11. PAYROLL TAXES

  

The Company previously reported that it has failed to remit payroll tax payments since 2006, as required by various taxing authorities. Payroll taxes and estimated penalties were accrued in recognition of accrued salaries subsequently settled via stock issue and other agreements that did not result in reportable or taxable payroll transactions. These accruals were reversed for prior years, and a similar estimated accrual established for 2017 and 2016. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the amount of taxes, interest, and penalties that the Company could incur as a result of payroll related taxes and penalties to be $2,047 and $41,783, respectively.

  

12. NET LOSS PER SHARE

  

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. There were no dilutive earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to net loss during the periods.  

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic net loss per share for the periods indicated:

 

   For the year ended 
   December 31,
2017
   December 31,
2016
 
         
Numerator:          
Net (loss)  $(5,000,319)  $(2,254,492)
           
Denominator:          
Weighted-average shares outstanding – Basic and diluted   43,405,712    13,600,570 
           
Earnings (loss) per share – Basic and diluted  $(0.12)  $(0.17)

 

This does not include the potential dilutive effect if all exercisable warrants were exercised or conversions of convertible notes and convertible preferred stock as described below as of December 31, 2017:

 

Principal conversion   24,8331,819 
Interest conversion   16,571,047

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2017 and 2016 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $19,680,050 and $17,745,000, respectively, less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $19,680,050 and $17,745,000, respectively. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in both 2017 and 2016. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,935,050 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

 

   2017   2016 
Deferred tax assets  $19,680,050   $17,745,000

Corporate administration costs, which include, but are not limited to, general accounting, human resources, legal and credit and collections, are partially allocated to the three operating segments. Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.

  

The mobile home lease segment establishes mobile home business as an option for a homeowner wishing to avoid large down payments, expensive maintenance costs, monthly mortgage payments and high property taxes. If bad credit is an issue preventing people from purchasing a traditional house, the Company will provide a financial leasing option with "0" interest on the lease providing a "lease to own" option for their family home.

 

The Company-owned Pizza Restaurant segment includes sales and operating results for all Company-owned restaurants. Assets for this segment include equipment, furniture and fixtures for the Company-owned restaurants.

 

Repicci’s Group offers franchisees for the operation of “Repicci’s Italian Ice” franchises. These franchised stores specialize in the distribution of nonfat frozen confections.

  

The number of franchise agreements in force as of December 31, 2017 was 48, five of which are “mobile” units.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim periods up through the date the relationship ended.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision of and with the participation of its executive officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the sole executive officer of the Company has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this Annual Report, these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer (our president) and our principal accounting and financial officer (our chief financial officer and treasurer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but no absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources and benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future condition; over time controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the year-end period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act, and assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

 

 

 

 63 

 

 

1.                 As of December 31, 2017, our controls over the control environment were not effective. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedure. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial experts as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

2.              As of December 31, 2017, our controls over financial statement disclosure were not effective. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this corn deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria established in “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s independent 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 temporary rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management’s report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has three members.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

 

Compliance with Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act

 

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our Common Stock. Such Reporting Persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms we have received and representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Reporting Persons complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 except as stated below.

Indemnification

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defended a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defended the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Florida.

 

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
