NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.Description of Business

 

Helix TCS, Inc. (the “Company” or “Helix”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 13, 2014. Pursuant to the acquisition of the assets of Helix TCS, LLC, as discussed below, we changed our name from Jubilee4 Gold, Inc. to Helix TCS, Inc. effective October 25, 2015.

 

Effective October 25, 2015, we entered into an acquisition and exchange agreement with Helix TCS LLC. We closed the transaction contemplated under that agreement on December 23, 2015 and Helix TCS, LLC was merged into and with Helix.

 

Effective October 1, 2015, for accounting purposes, as part of an acquisition amounting to a reorganization dated December 21, 2015, Helix Opportunities LLC exchanged 100% of Helix TCS, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Consultants Group, LLC and Boss Security Solutions, Inc. in exchange for 20 million common shares and 1 million convertible preferred shares of the Company.

 

The Acquisition Agreement of Helix TCS, LLC was treated as a recapitalization for financial accounting purposes. Jubilee4 Gold, Inc. is considered the acquiree for accounting purposes and their historical financial statements before the Acquisition Agreement were replaced with the historical financial statements of the Company. The common stock account of the Company continues post-merger, while the retained earnings of the acquiree is eliminated.

 

On April 11, 2016, the Company acquired the assets of Revolutionary Software, LLC (“Revolutionary”) (see Note 5).

 

On June 2, 2017, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) in which the Company purchased all issued and outstanding Units of Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd. (“Security Grade”), which comprised of 800,000 Class A Units and 200,000 Class B Units. At closing, the Company delivered $800,000 in cash and 207,427 non-qualified stock options (the “Initial Stock Options”). Furthermore, if within the first 60 days following the closing, no material customer identified in the Agreement terminates its contractual relationship with the Company and all contracts with such material customers are in full force and effect without default or cancellation as of the 60th day following the closing, on the 61st day following the closing, the Company was obligated to issue 207,427 additional stock options (the “Additional Stock Options”). The Company subsequently issued the 207,427 Additional Stock Options on August 1, 2017 as well as a second cash payment of $800,000 pursuant to the original terms of the agreement.

 

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the selling members of Security Grade of their intent on exercising their right of setoff noted in the Agreement after discovering misrepresentations made by one of the selling members of Security Grade. The Company has settled with five of the six selling members and are in negotiations with the final selling member. The Company has initiated a lawsuit against the sixth selling member. See Item 1. Legal Proceedings for further detail surrounding the lawsuit.

 

On March 3, 2018, Helix TCS, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Helix Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. (“BioTrackTHC”) and Terence J. Ferraro, as the representative of the BioTrackTHC shareholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into BioTrackTHC, with BioTrackTHC surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

 

On June 1, 2018, in connection with closing the merger, the Company issued 38,184,985 unregistered shares of its common stock to BioTrackTHC stockholders, of which 1,852,677 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the Merger Agreement, if necessary. The Company also assumed the Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“BioTrackTHC Stock Plan”), pursuant to which options exercisable in the amount of 8,132,410 shares of common stock are outstanding. As a result of the merger, BioTrackTHC stockholders and optionholders own 48% of the Company on a fully diluted basis on the closing date.

2.Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

 

The Company corrected certain immaterial errors in its financial statements contained herein. In accordance with ASC 650-10-S99 and S55 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) No. 99 and No. 108), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company concluded that these errors were, individually, and in the aggregate, not material, quantitatively or qualitatively, to the financial statements in these periods.

 

On May 17, 2017, the Company sold to accredited investors an aggregate of 5,781,426 Series B Preferred Shares for gross proceeds of $1,875,000 and converted a $500,000 Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note into 1,536,658 Series B Preferred Shares. This tranche of Series B Preferred Shares is convertible into 7,318,084 shares of common stock based on the current conversion price, at a purchase price of $0.325 per share. Net proceeds were approximately $1,772,500 after legal and placement agent fees and the satisfaction of the promissory notes.

 

On October 11, 2017, as contemplated by the Initial Series B Purchase Agreement, the Parties entered into a fifth Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Fifth Series B Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company issued and sold to accredited investors 231,097 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for an aggregate cash payment equal to $75,000. Upon further review of the Agreement, it was noted the total number of shares issued under the Agreement was 462,195 shares with total proceeds of $150,000.

 

On October 31, 2017, as contemplated by the Initial Series B Purchase Agreement, the Parties entered into a sixth Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Sixth Series B Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company issued and sold to accredited investors 795,833 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for an aggregate cash payment equal to $80,000. Upon further review of the Agreement, it was noted the total number of shares issued under the Agreement was 1,042,337 shares with total proceeds of $557,500.

 

As a result of the October 11, 2017 and October 31, 2017 transactions, the Company recorded an increase of $477, $552,023 and $552,500 to Series B Preferred Shares – par amount, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit, respectively.

 

On November 16, 2017, the Company amended Notes Five, Six, and Seven (“the Amended Notes”) with the Fourth Investor. All three notes shall have maturity dates that are six months from November 16, 2017, shall convert at a 40% discount to the lowest one-day Volume Average Weighted Price (“VWAP”) during the 30 trading days preceding such conversion, shall incur interest at an annual rate of 5%, and shall be prepayable at any time at 110% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest balances. The amendment of Note Six and Seven included terms, permitting the Company the option to tender payment in full on or before November 21, 2017, at a 15% discount of the amended principal amounts. Note Five, Six and Seven principal amounts were amended to $281,900, $38,441 and $131,107, respectively. The Company evaluated the Amended Notes in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined the Amended Notes will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. At November 16, 2017, the principal amounts of Note Five, Six and Seven were $281,900, $38,441 and $131,107, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded the fair value of Note Five, Six and Seven at $812,393, $110,781 and $377,830, respectively. Therefore, the Company recorded a charge to the change in fair value of $(530,493), $(72,340) and $(246,723) related to Note Five, Six and Seven, respectively.

 

Upon further review it was noted that, on November 21, 2017, the Company paid the remaining principal balance, at the 15% discount on Notes Six and Seven in the amount of $144,259. Therefore, Notes Six and Seven did not have a balance as of December 31, 2017.

 

As a result of the November 21, 2017 transaction, the Company recorded a reduction to convertible notes payable, net of discount of $488,611 and a credit to the change in fair value of convertible notes of $488,611.

 

When taking into consideration the two transactions indicated above, the net impact to accumulated deficit was a charge of $63,889, resulting from the netting of the gain of $488,611 from the reduction in the fair value of convertible notes at December 31, 2017 offset by the $552,500 of additional expense associated with the Series B Purchase Agreement.

 

Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s amended audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on April 4, 2018. In addition, the Company’s future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for subsequent quarterly periods during the current fiscal year will reflect the impact of the revision in the comparative prior quarter and year-to-date periods.

 

The following table summarizes the effects of the revisions on the financial statements for the periods reported.

3.Going Concern Uncertainty, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans

 

The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company believes that its ability to continue operations depends on its ability to sustain and grow revenue and results of operations as well as its ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategic objectives. The Company believes that it will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. The Company expects to finance future cash needs from the results of operations and, depending on the results of operations, the Company may need additional equity or debt financing until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,611,424, as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $3,289,281 at December 31, 2017. The increase of $1,677,857 in the Company’s working capital from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018 was primarily the result of a decrease in the Company’s obligation to issue warrants and a decrease in the balance of the Company’s convertible notes payable, partially offset by a decrease in cash and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements for its operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of its businesses, the number and cash requirements of other acquisition candidates that the Company pursues, and the costs of operations. The Company has been investing in expanding its operation in new states, its courier service in Colorado, and transforming the assets acquired from Revolutionary Software. The Company’s management has taken several steps to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through December 31, 2018, including growing and diversifying its revenue streams, selectively reducing expenses, and considering additional funding transactions with potential investors. Additionally, if the Company’s actual revenues are less than forecasted, the Company anticipates that variable expenses will also decline, and the Company’s management can implement expense reduction as necessary. The Company is evaluating other measures to further improve its liquidity, including the sale of equity or debt securities. Lastly, the Company may elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such debt into common shares. The Company’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements through August 15, 2019. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 2018 and beyond.

  

The Company plans to generate positive cash flow from its Security Grade and BioTrack acquisitions to address some of the liquidity concerns. However, to execute the Company’s business plan, service existing indebtedness and implement its business strategy, the Company anticipates that it will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may choose to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, a bank line of credit, borrowings from affiliates or other arrangements. The Company cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Furthermore, any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute the Company’s current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock. The terms of those securities issued by the Company in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. The Company also may be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities it issues, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may subject the Company to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, when needed, to continue operations in their current form.

 

4.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Helix TCS, LLC (“Helix TCS”), Security Consultants Group, LLC, Boss Security Solutions, Inc., Security Consultants Group Oregon, LLC (“Security Oregon”), Security Grade, and BioTrack THC.

 

7

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Use of estimates includes the following: 1) allowance for doubtful accounts, 2) estimated useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, 3) intangibles impairment, 4) valuation of convertible notes payable and 5) revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists of checking accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

 

Management charges balances off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company determines when receivables are past due, or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.

 

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $34,767 and $3,000 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets

 

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of non-compete agreements and customer relationships. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

  

Goodwill

 

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Helix reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

8

 

 

The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary. Helix may consider qualitative factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, Helix’s outlook, market performance of Helix’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, Helix determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Helix then performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of Helix’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 

Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset. It was determined that during the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s entire amount of goodwill attributable to the Security Grade acquisition was impaired. See Note 9 for a further discussion on the impairment.

 

Accounting for Acquisitions 

 

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations. 

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: (1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or (2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

 

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using established valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method. Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of software and trade name acquired were determined using the relief from royalty method.

 

The most significant assumptions under the relief from royalty method used to value software and trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate. Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

Revenue Recognition

 

Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The security services revenue is generated from performing armed and unarmed guarding which is contracted for on an hourly basis. Revenues associated with these contracted services are recognized under time-based arrangements as services are provided.

 

Additionally, the Company provides transportation security services, which are generally contracted for on a per-run basis and sometimes additional fees and surcharges are also billed to the client depending on the length of the run. Revenues associated with these services are recognized as the transportation service is provided.

 

The Company also generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.

 

Occasionally, the Company will enter into systems installation arrangements. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of equipment to be installed, the number of hours expected to be incurred to complete the job and other ancillary costs. Revenue associated with these services are recognized over the arrangement period.

 

Lastly, the Company generates advertising revenues from consumer advertising on its Cannabase platform. Revenue is recognized over the contract period associated with each specific advertising campaign.

  

Expenses

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The cost of revenues is the total cost incurred to obtain a sale and the cost of the goods or services sold. Cost of revenues primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personnel and employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company.

 

Other (Expense) Income, net

 

Other (expense) income, net consisted of change in fair value of convertible note, change in fair value of convertible note – related party, interest expense, change in fair value of obligation to issue warrants, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on impairment of Goodwill and gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are three years for vehicles and five years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold, or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in other income.

 

Contingencies

 

Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

  

10

 

 

Leases

 

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) transfer of ownership; (b) bargain purchase option; (c) the lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property; or (d) the present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.

 

If at its inception, a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the Company as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the Company as an operating lease.

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $34,963 and $1,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $61,737 and $5,179 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

 

The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.

 

Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.

 

Initial Measurement

 

The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.

 

Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities

 

The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other expense/income.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature on its convertible preferred stock in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The BCF of convertible preferred stock is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature that provides a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of convertible preferred stock when issued. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

11

 

 

To determine the effective conversion price, the Company first allocates the proceeds received to the convertible preferred stock and then uses those allocated proceeds to determine the effective conversion price. If the convertible instrument is issued in a basket transaction (i.e., issued along with other freestanding financial instruments), the proceeds should first be allocated to the various instruments in the basket. Any amounts paid to the investor when the transaction is consummated (e.g., origination fees, due diligence costs) represent a reduction in the proceeds received by the issuer. The intrinsic value of the conversion option should be measured using the effective conversion price for the convertible preferred stock on the proceeds allocated to that instrument. The effective conversion price represents proceeds allocable to the convertible preferred stock divided by the number of shares into which it is convertible. The effective conversion price is then compared to the per share fair value of the underlying shares on the commitment date.

 

The accounting for a BCF requires that the BCF be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible preferred stock. This discount should be accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the earliest conversion date for instruments that do not have a stated redemption date. The intrinsic value of the BCF is recognized as a deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock over a period specified in the guidance.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock options grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 505, subtopic 50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees based upon the fair value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments, are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received.

 

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that 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).

 

12

 

 

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 under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
     
  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

 

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction based on market participants. The following section describes the valuation methodologies that the Company used to measure, for disclosure purposes, its financial instruments at fair value.

 

Convertible notes payable

 

The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, approximated the carrying value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions and the term of the debt. The level of the debt would be considered as Level 2.

 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from shareholders and obligation pursuant to acquisition approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those items.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excluded all potential dilutive shares if their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common-equivalent shares outstanding. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per share results are not presented in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of warrants, options, convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

 

13

 

 

The anti-dilutive shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

 

   For the Three Months Ended June 30,   For the Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2018   2017   2018   2017

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes 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. In applying the new guidance, an entity will: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. In April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging – Recession of SEC Guidance”, ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.  These ASUs each affect the guidance of the new revenue recognition standard in ASU 2014-09 and related subsequent ASUs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments” (“ASC 606”) to all contracts which were not completed or expired as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company had no cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while the comparative information will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires most leases (with the exception of leases with terms of less than one year) to be recognized on the balance sheet as an asset and a lease liability. Leases will be classified as an operating lease or a financing lease. Operating leases are expensed using the straight-line method, whereas financing leases will be treated similarly to a capital lease under the current standard. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be presented using the modified retrospective method. However, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. The modified retrospective method is applied to all prior reporting periods presented with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the earliest comparative period while the optional transition relief method is applied beginning in the period of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without adjustment to the financial statements for periods prior to adoption. The Company is still evaluating the method of adoption. While the Company is continuing to assess all potential impacts of the new standard, the Company currently believes the most significant impact relates to its accounting for office space, colocation operating leases, and embedded leases within its supplier contracts.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization. ASU 2016-15 designates the appropriate cash flow classification, including requirements to allocate certain components of these cash receipts and payments among operating, investing and financing activities. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350); Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public companies for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018, goodwill was tested for potential impairment. As a result of the goodwill impairment test performed, it was determined that the carrying value for each reporting unit was higher than its fair value. Please refer to Note 9 for further detail.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No 2017-09 “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity and reduces both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all three of the following are met:

 

(1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.

 

(2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

 

(3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. Note that the current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in ASU 2017-09. ASU 2017-09 is effective for all annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

5.Revenue Recognition

 

Adoption of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

The Company adopted the new revenue standard, ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts as of January 1, 2018. This method required retrospective application of the new accounting standard to all unfulfilled contracts that were outstanding as of January 1, 2018. Revenues and contract assets and liabilities for contracts completed prior to January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 605.

 

The Company has determined that there were no adjustments required with respect to the adoption of ASC 606 with respect to any prior periods.

 

Disaggregation of revenue 

 

   For the Three Months Ended June 30,   For the Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2018   2017   2018   2017 
Types of Revenues:                
Security and Guarding  $1,535,638   $1,015,662   $2,629,412   $1,707,399 
Systems Installation   100,699    -    135,263    - 
Software   576,142    -    576,142    - 
Total revenues  $2,212,479   $1,015,662   $3,340,817   $1,707,399 

 

The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate our revenue.

   

Security and Guarding Revenue

 

Helix provides armed and unarmed guards, as well as armed transportation services. The guards are charged out at an hourly rate, with invoices typically sent to clients shortly after each month-end for the previous month, with revenue being recognized over time as the service has been provided. Transportation services are typically invoiced on a per-run basis, with revenue being recognized over time as the service has been completed.

 

Systems Installation Revenue

 

Security systems, including IP CCTV, intrusion alarm systems, perimeter alarm systems, and access controls are installed for clients. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of the equipment, the number of man hours expected to complete the work, supplies, travel, and any other ancillary costs. The installation is typically invoiced with 60% of the total price immediately after signing and the balance upon completion of the installation service. The timing of these contracts are short-term in nature and are less than 12 months in duration.

 

Software

 

The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.

 

The private-sector software entails cultivation tracking, inventory management, point of sale and analytic reporting to assist businesses in meeting their compliance requirements and effectively manage their businesses. Customers within the private sector are charged an initial one-time installation fee and the revenues associated with these services are recognized upon completion of installation and configuration at a point in time. After the installation and configuration of the software is completed, the customer is invoiced monthly and revenues associated with these services are recognized monthly over a period of time in which the customer continues to use the software and related services.

 

The public-sector software assists government agencies in efficient oversight of cannabis related business under their jurisdiction. Revenues associated with governmental contracts are longer-term in nature and recognized upon completion of certain milestones over a period of time or on a completed-contract basis at a point in time. The Company considers the contract to be complete when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project. Costs incurred prior to the customer accepting the project are deferred and reflected on the Balance Sheet as Work-in-process – Traceability.

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in accordance with ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.  Generally, the Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation that is separately identifiable, and therefore, distinct. Under ASC 606, the allocation of transaction price is not necessary if only one performance obligation is identified.

  

16

 

 

Significant Judgments

 

Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue, costs and satisfaction of performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and subsequently recognizes revenue, over time, as security and installation services are performed. There were no changes to the significant judgments used by the Company to determine the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations under ASC 606.

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contract

 

The Company’s costs to fulfill or obtain contracts with customers primarily consist of commissions and legal costs. The Company provides sales team members with commissions at 0-6%. Although sales commissions are incremental in nature and are only incurred when a contract is obtained, there is no up-front commission paid on the satisfactory obtainment of a contract, resulting in no sales commissions being capitalized at June 30, 2018. The Company also incurs legal costs relating to the drafting and negotiating of contracts with select customers. Because legal costs are not incremental in nature and are incurred regardless of whether a contract is ultimately obtained, there were no legal costs capitalized as of June 30, 2018. The Company did not record amortization of costs incurred to obtain the contract or any impairment losses for the period ending June 30, 2018.

 

6.Business Combination

 

Security Grade Acquisition

 

On June 2, 2017, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) in which the Company purchased all issued and outstanding Units of Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd. (“Security Grade”), which comprised of 800,000 Class A Units and 200,000 Class B Units. At closing, the Company delivered $800,000 in cash and 207,427 non-qualified stock options (the “Initial Stock Options”). Furthermore, provided that, within the first 60 days following the closing, no material customer identified in the Agreement terminates its contractual relationship with the Company and that all contracts with such material customers are in full force and effect without default or cancellation as of the 60th day following the closing, on the 61st day following the closing, the Company shall deliver an additional $800,000 in cash and issue 207,427 additional stock options (the “Additional Stock Options”). In the event of termination, cancellation or default of any contract with one or more material customer identified in the Agreement within the first 60 days following the closing, the stock options received by the acquiree shall be reduced and/or forfeited to the extent necessary (pro rata based upon their ownership interest in the Company immediately preceding the closing) by a percentage equal to the revenue received by the Company from the terminating customer(s) in the 180 days immediately preceding such termination divided by the revenue received by the Company from all material customers identified in the Agreement in the 180 days immediately preceding such termination. Pursuant to these provisions, as of June 30, 2018, the Company has a liability pursuant to the Agreement of $244,159 payable following the Closing.

 

The merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price was calculated as follows:

 

Base Price – Cash  $2,100,373 
Base Price - Stock Options   916,643 
Contingent Consideration - Stock Options   916,643 
Total Purchase Price  $3,933,659 

 

       Weighted Average Useful Life

Loans payable   18,414      
Credit card payable and other liabilities   69,349      
Total liabilities assumed   111,730      
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired  $3,933,659      

 

17

 

 

The initial stock options are included as part of the purchase price. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $916,643 at June 2, 2017 and recorded it as a liability in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company satisfied their contingent consideration liability during the third quarter of 2017. During the period ended June 30, 2018, the Company reached settlement agreements with five of the six selling members. As a result of these settlements, 70,151 options previously issued as part of the acquisition were cancelled.

 

BioTrack Acquisition

 

On March 3, 2018, Helix TCS, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Helix Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc. (“BioTrackTHC”) and Terence J. Ferraro, as the representative of the BioTrackTHC shareholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement on June 1, 2018, Merger Sub merged with and into BioTrackTHC, with BioTrackTHC surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company closed the Merger. In connection with closing the Merger, the Company issued 38,184,985 unregistered shares of Company common stock to BioTrackTHC stockholders, of which 1,852,677 shares were held back to satisfy indemnification obligations in the Merger Agreement, if necessary. The Company also assumed the Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“BioTrackTHC Stock Plan”), pursuant to which options exercisable for 8,132,410 shares of Company common stock are outstanding so that the BioTrackTHC stockholders and optionholders will own 48% of the Company on a fully diluted basis on the closing date.

 

The Merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the BioTrackTHC merger. These values are subject to change as we perform additional reviews of our assumptions utilized.

 

The Company has made a provisional allocation of the purchase price of the BioTrackTHC transaction to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the purchase date. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocations relating to the BioTrackTHC transaction: 

 

Base Price - Common Stock  $44,905,542 
Base Price - Stock Options   12,646,491 
Total Purchase Price  $57,552,033 

 

       Weighted Average Useful Life

The Company has not completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the acquisition fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related allocation of purchase price for BioTrackTHC. Accordingly, the type and value of the intangible assets amounts set forth above are preliminary. Once the valuation process is finalized for BioTrackTHC, there could be changes to the reported values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including goodwill and intangible assets and those changes could differ materially from what is presented above.

 

Total acquisition costs for the BioTrackTHC merger incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $116,624, and is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Statements of Operations.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Results

 

BioTrackTHC contributed revenues of $576,142 and a net loss of $132,109 for the period June 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, included in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.

 

The following table below represents the revenue, net loss and loss per share effect of the acquired company, as reported in our pro forma basis as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2017. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the periods presented, nor does the pro forma financial information purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

The Company uses the straight-line method to determine the amortization expense for its definite lived intangible assets. Amortization expense related to the purchased intangible assets was $476,003 and $61,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $645,579 and $75,374 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s Goodwill as of June 30, 2018:

 

   Total Goodwill 
Balance at January 1, 2018  $664,329 
Impairment of goodwill   (664,329)
Goodwill attributable to BioTrack acquisition   39,135,007 
Balance at June 30, 2018  $39,135,007 

 

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company came to a settlement agreement with numerous Security Grade employees resulting from a misrepresentation of revenue and customer list information provided as part of the acquisition. Therefore, the Company considers the settlement to be an indicator for goodwill impairment testing. Accordingly, at March 30, 2018, goodwill was tested for potential impairment. As a result of the goodwill impairment test performed, it was determined that the carrying value for each reporting unit was higher than its fair value and therefore goodwill was fully impaired, which resulted in a write-off of $664,329 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As part of the BioTrack acquisition, Goodwill in the amount of $39,135,007 was recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Four”) with a fourth investor (the “Fourth Investor”) in which the Fourth Investor provided the Company $500,000 in cash. As of December 31, 2016, the Class B Preferred Shares were not established as a result of Holder Default, in which, the Fourth Investor did not act in good faith towards the prompt negotiation, execution and delivery of the Class B Preferred Shares.

 

On March 31, 2017, the First Amendment to Note Four (the “Amended Note”) was entered by the Company and the Holder (also the Fourth Investor). In the absence of a Company Event of Default or Holder Event of Default, Amended Note is payable by issuance upon conversion into Class B Preferred Shares of the Company, which was to occur no later than June 1, 2017. The Amended Note had the following conversion features:

 

  Automatic Conversion. The principal balance of the Amended shall automatically convert into shares of Class B Preferred Shares upon execution by the Company and the Fourth Investor of definitive documentation relating to the $500,000, aggregate principal amount, and investment by the Fourth Investor in Class B Preferred Shares of the Company.
     
  Company Default. In the event of a Company Event of Default, the Fourth Investor the shall have the right to elect to (i) at any time prior to June 30, 2017, convert the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Note Four into Class B Preferred Shares equal to 6.3% of the Company’s equity capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis, or (ii) at any time commencing on July 1, 2017 and ending on September 31, 2017, have Note Four redeemed for cash at a redemption price, in aggregate, equal to 150% of the aggregate principal outstanding balance of Note Four or (iii) to convert Note Four into common shares of the Company equal to 6.3% of the Company’s equity capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis. In the event the Holder does not elect any remedy in the event of a Company Event of Default, on September 31, 2017 the Amended Note shall be converted in whole into common shares of the Company equal to 6.3% of the Company’s equity capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis.
     
  Holder Default. In the event of a Holder Event of Default, the Company shall have the right to either (i) redeem the Amended Note at par value at any time prior to June 1, 2017 or (ii) convert the outstanding principal balance into common shares of the Company at market value.
     
  The $12,000,000 valuation in Note Four is subject to dilution of $600,000 from additional investments in the Company by third parties following the Holder’s $500,000 investment that is memorialized in Note Four. The Holder was to receive the same number of shares as it would have for its investment if it had converted at a $12,000,000 valuation on October 20, 2016 given the 26,587,497 shares outstanding at that time. Note Four was to convert into 1,162,500 shares.

 

22

 

 

Due to the terms of the Amendment, the Company evaluated Note Four under ASC 470-50 to determine if modification or extinguishment treatment was necessary. After performing the analysis under ASC 470-50, it was determined extinguishment treatment was appropriate and the Company should extinguish Note Four and recognize the Amended Note as new debt. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $4,611,395 on Note Four.

 

The Company evaluated the Amended Note and the embedded conversion feature under ASC 815 and determined the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore should not be bifurcated. The Company then evaluated the Amended Note in accordance with ASC 480 and determined that Note Four will be accounted for as a liability measured at fair value. As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of the liability was $500,000.

 

On February 13, 2017, the Company entered into a $183,333 10% Fixed Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Five”) with a third investor (the “Third Investor”). The Third Investor provided the Company with $166,666 in cash, which was received by the Company during the period ended March 31, 2017. The additional $16,666 was retained by the Third Investor for due diligence and legal bills for the transaction. The Company promised to pay the principal amount, together with guaranteed interest at the annual rate of 10%, with principal and accrued interest on Note Five due and payable on September 12, 2017 (unless converted under terms and provisions as set forth within Note Five). The principal balance of Note Five was convertible at the election of the Third Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share. In conjunction with Note Five, the Company issued a warrant to the third investor to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. Note Five became effective on February 14, 2017 upon the execution by the Company and the Third Investor of numerous exhibit documents.

 

The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature within the above convertible note under ASC 815 and determined the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore should not be bifurcated. Then the Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature at inception. The Company accounted for the intrinsic value of a BCF inherent to the convertible note payable and a total debt discount of $183,333 was recorded.

 

The company recorded a debt discount relating to the warrants issued in the amount of $22,000 based on the relative fair values of Note Five without the warrants and the warrants themselves at the effective date of Note Five. The additional $16,666 retained by the Third Investor for due diligence and legal bills for the transaction will be recorded as a debt discount. The calculated value of the beneficial conversion feature and the combined value of the debt discount resulted in a value greater than the value of the debt and as such, the total discount was limited to the value of the debt balance of $183,333. Therefore, the debt discount related to the BCF was in the amount of $144,666. The excess value of the BCF discount was recognized as a loss in earnings and recorded as an interest expense in the amount of $390,666 and will be amortized through Maturity of Note Five.

 

The debt discounts were amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. As of December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2018 the discount was fully amortized.

 

On February 13, 2017, the Company entered into a $25,000 10% Fixed Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Six”) with the Third Investor. The Third Investor provided the Company with $25,000 in cash, which was received by the Company during the period ended March 31, 2017. The Company promised to pay the principal amount, together with guaranteed interest at the annual rate of 10%, with principal and accrued interest on Note Six due and payable on September 13, 2017. The principal balance of Note Six was convertible at the election of the Third Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at $6.10 per share. Note Six become effective on February 14, 2017 upon the execution by the Company and the Third Investor of numerous exhibit documents.

 

23

 

 

The Company evaluated Note Six in accordance with ASC 815 to determine if the conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value and remeasured at fair value in income. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the requirements for bifurcation pursuant to ASC 815. Then the Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature at inception and determined that Note Six did not have a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company recorded the conventional convertible note as a debt instrument in its entirety.

  

On April 26, 2017, the Company entered into a $100,000 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Seven”) with the Fourth Investor. The Fourth Investor provided the Company with $72,000 in cash proceeds, which was received by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Note Seven is due on October 26, 2017 and the Company must pay guaranteed interest on the principal balance at an amount equivalent to 10% of the note amount. The principal balance of Note Seven is convertible at the election of the Fourth Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at the lower of $1.00 or a 50% discount to the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 Trading Days prior to conversion. In conjunction with Note Seven, the Company issued a warrant to the fourth investor to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share.

  

On November 16, 2017, the Company amended Notes Five, Six, and Seven (“the Amended Notes”) with the Fourth Investor. All three notes shall have maturity dates that are six months from November 16, 2017, shall convert at a 40% discount to the lowest one-day Volume Average Weighted Price (“VWAP”) during the 30 trading days preceding such conversion, shall incur interest at an annual rate of 5%, and shall be prepayable at any time at 110% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest balances. The amendment of Note Six and Seven included terms, permitting the Company the option to tender payment in full on or before November 21, 2017, at a 15% discount of the amended principal amounts. At November 16, 2017, the principal amounts of Note Five, Six and Seven were $281,900, $38,441 and $131,107, respectively. On November 21, 2017, the Company paid the remaining principal balance, at the 15% discount on Notes Six and Seven in the amount of $144,259.

 

On February 15, March 12 and March 21, 2018 the holder of Note Five elected their option to partially convert the convertible note into shares of the Company’s common stock. After the conversions the remaining Principal balance was $106,900. Please refer to Footnote 16 for additional details on the partial conversions of Note Five.

 

On May 16, 2018, the Company amended Note Five (“Second Amendment”) with the Fourth Investor. The Second Amendment states that Note Five shall have a maturity of November 16, 2018 and shall be prepayable at any time at 120% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest balance. The principal amount as of the date of the Second Amendment was $112,305.

 

The Company evaluated Note Five in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined the Note Five will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the fair value of Note Five was $114,746 and $812,393, respectively. Therefore, the Company recorded a gain to the change in fair value of $120,630 and $697,646 related to Note Five for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Convertible Note Payable

 

On March 11, 2016, the Company entered into an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Eight”) with Paul Hodges, a Director of the Company (the “Related Party Holder”).

The principal balance of Note Eight was convertible at the election of the Related Party Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at a forty percent (40%) discount to the average market closing price for the previous five (5) trading days, preceding the date of conversion election. The Company evaluated Note Eight in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that Note Eight will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

 

On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the Convertible Promissory Note (this “Amendment”) with the undersigned holder (each, a “Holder”) initially issued to such Holder and dated March 2016 (the “Note”). The Company and Holders desire to extend the maturity date of the Note to August 20, 2018.

 

The Note is hereby amended as follows.

As of February 20, 2018, the fair value of the liability was $239,343, however due to termination of the conversion of the note into equity securities, Note Five will be valued in its principal amount of $125,000 and accordingly the Company recorded a credit regarding the change in fair value of $0 and charge of $43,696 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $118,506 and $56,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, there were 9,000,000 authorized Series B Preferred Stock at a par value of $ 0.001. In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, on May 12, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to designate the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series B Preferred Shares. On August 23, 2017 the Certificate of Designations was amended and restated to increase the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized to 17,000,000.

 

Conversion:

 

Each Series B Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder at any time on or after May 12, 2018 into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the Preferred Conversation Rate. The Preferred Conversion Rate shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price ($0.3253815) by the Preferred Stock Conversation Price in effect at the time of the conversion (the initial conversion price will be equal to the Preferred Stock Original Issue Price, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and fundamental transactions). Based on the current conversion price, the Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into 13,306,599 shares of common stock. A fundamental transaction means: (i) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity, (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of our assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any reclassification of our Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange by which Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) sale of shares below the preferred stock conversion price. Each Series B Preferred Share will automatically convert into common stock upon the earlier of (x) notice by the Company to the holders that the Company has elected to convert all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at any time on or after May 12, 2018; or (y) immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten initial public offering (involving the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on an Approved Stock Exchange) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock for the account of the Company in which the net cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000).

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature – Series B Preferred Stock (deemed dividend):

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock, at any time at the option of the holder at any time on or after May 12, 2018. On May 17, 2017, the date of issuances of the Series B, the publicly traded common stock price was $3.98.

 

28

 

 

Based on the guidance in ASC 470-20-20, the Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature exists, as the effective conversion price for the Series B preferred shares at issuance was less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. A beneficial conversion feature based on the intrinsic value at the date of issuances for the Series B preferred shares is scheduled below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the beneficial conversion amount of $14,998,505 and $22,202,194, respectively was accreted back to the preferred stock as a deemed dividend and charged to additional paid in capital in the absence of earning as the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over time through the earliest conversion date, May 12, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized. Provided below is a schedule of the issuances of Series B preferred shares and the amount accredited to deemed dividend at June 30, 2018.

Dividends, Voting Rights and Liquidity Value:

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, the Series B Preferred Shares bear no dividends, except that if the Board declares a dividend payable upon the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series B Preferred Shares vote together with the common stock and all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the stockholders of the Company including, but not limited to, actions amending the certificate of incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of the common stock. Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to (i) first receive distributions out of our assets in an amount per share equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, whether capital or surplus before any distributions shall be made on any shares of common stock and (ii) second, on an as-converted basis alongside the common stock.

 

Classification:

 

The Series B Preferred Shares are classified within permanent equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as they do not meet the criteria that would require presentation outside of permanent equity under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

 

17.Stock Options

 

As part of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and Security Grade, on June 2, 2017 (see Note 6), the Company granted to the selling members the option to purchase up to 414,854 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.001 per share. Of the 414,854 options granted, 207,427 were vested at closing and equity classified. The vesting of the remaining 207,427 shares were subject to certain milestones being achieved and was initially recognized as contingent consideration, both a component of purchase price. As a result of the milestones being met during the third quarter of 2017, the remaining 207,427 shares have also vested. The options have an expiration date of 36 months from the closing date. The exercise price will be based on the fair market value of the share on the date of grant.

  

On March 6, 2018, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations in previously disclosed representations and warranties by the plaintiff as part of the Security Grade Acquisition. Following the appointment of a registered Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) auditor, certain misrepresentations, primarily surrounding the misclassification of certain revenues as being recurring, were discovered, artificially inflating the price of the membership interest in Security Grade. As a result of the certain settlements with the selling shareholders, 71,644 options previously issued as part of the acquisition were cancelled.

 

As part of the Merger Agreement entered into between the Company and BioTrackTHC, on June 1, 2018 (see Note 6), the Company assumed the BioTrackTHC Stock Plan, pursuant to which options exercisable at prices of $0.11, $0.79 and $1.66 per share for 8,132,410 shares of Company common stock are outstanding so that the BioTrackTHC stockholders and optionholders will own 48% of the Company on a fully diluted basis on the closing date.

18. Warrants

 

On February 13, 2017, the Company entered into a $183,333 Fixed secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Five”) with the Fourth Investor. The Fourth Investor provided the Company with $166,666 in cash, which was received by the Company during the period ended March 31, 2017. The additional $16,666 was retained by the Fourth Investor for due diligence and legal bills for the transaction. In conjunction with Note Five, the Company issued a warrant, of which the value was derived and based off the fair value of Note Five, to the fourth investor to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after February 14, 2017 and on or before February 12, 2022, by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise. On December 11, 2017, the investor exercised their purchase right in a net settlement cashless exercise.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Note Seven, the Company issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Purchaser to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and provisions thereunder. The Warrant is exercisable at any time within five (5) years of issuance and entitles the Purchaser to purchase 150,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of the lesser of either i) $1.00 or ii) a 50% discount to the lowest closing bid price thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding conversion, subject to certain adjustments.

 

Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after April 26, 2017 and on or before April 26, 2022, by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise. On December 11, 2017, the investor exercised their purchase right in a net settlement cashless exercise.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Graduated Lock-Up Letter to induce the entering into of a consulting agreement in exchange for 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the granting of 575,000 warrants for the purchase of common stock of the Company. The company recognized a compensation expense of $943,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 relating to the granting of the new warrants.

A summary of warrant activity is as follows:

 

For the Six Months ended June 30, 2018
   Warrant Shares   Weighted Average Exercise

Balance at January 1, 2018   2,732,073   $0.23 
           
Warrants granted   575,000   $0.01 
           
Balance at June 30, 2018   3,307,073   $0.19 

 

Warrant Obligations

 

In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (See Note 16), the Company is obligated to issue warrants to a third-party to purchase 812,073 shares of common stock at $0.325 per share for services rendered. These warrants have been accounted for as warrant obligations and are recognized as a liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a credit and a charge in the change in fair value of the warrant obligations of $321,161 and $124,791, respectively, and is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, other income (expense). For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a credit and charge in the change in fair value of the warrant obligations of $1,297,840 and $124,791, respectively, and is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, other income (expense). Although the Company issued warrants during the first quarter of 2018, the rights entitled to the third-party holder of the warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock was not exercised. Upon exercising the right to purchase the Company’s common stock by the third-party, the Company will de-recognize the liability for warrant obligations and reclassify the appropriate amount into equity.

 

The fair value of the Company’s obligation to issue warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:

 

   As of
June 30,
2018
   As of
December 31, 2017
   As of
May 17,
2017
 
Fair value of company's common stock  $1.41   $3.00   $3.98 
Dividend yield   0%   0%   0%
Expected volatility   237.9%   266.4%   181.2%
Risk Free interest rate   2.63%   1.98%   1.42%
Expected life (years)   2.15    2.65    3.00 
Fair value of financial instruments - warrants  $1,131,729   $2,429,569   $1,839,133 

 

The change in fair value of the financial instruments – warrants is as follows:

 

   Amount 
Balance as of January 1, 2018  $2,429,569 
      
Change in fair value of liability to issue warrants   (1,297,840)

Change in fair value of liability to issue warrants   (321,161)
      
Balance as of June 30, 2018  $1,131,729 

 

19.Stock-Based Compensation

 

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was adopted by our Board of Directors and a majority of our voting security holders on October 17, 2017. The 2017 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and dividend equivalent rights to eligible employees, directors and consultants. We grant options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2017 Plan at no less than the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan have a maximum term of ten years. Under the Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. As of June 30, 2018, there were 226,750 shares of common stock outstanding under the 2017 Plan.

20.Income Taxes

 

No provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 consist of income tax loss carryforwards. These amounts are available for carryforward for use in offsetting taxable income of future years through 2035. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period. Utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, these deferred tax assets arising from the future tax benefits are currently not likely to be realized and are thus reduced to zero by an offsetting valuation allowance. As a result, there is no provision for income taxes. 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $8,365,000 and $4,362,000, respectively. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company applied a 100% valuation reserve against the deferred tax benefit as the realization of the benefit is not certain.

 

21.Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is obligated under four operating lease agreements for office facilities in Colorado, Florida, Washington and Hawaii, which expire in February and March 2021.

 

Rent expense incurred under the Company’s operating leases amount to $65,888 and $22,511 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $84,451 and $40,721 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

22.Subsequent Events

 

In July 2018, the Company issued 327,777 shares of restricted common stock at $0.90 per share to an investor per a subscription agreement for total proceeds of $294,999.

 

In July 2018, the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to consultants as an inducement to enter into a leak-out agreement with the Company.

At closing, the Company issued 366,700 shares of Company restricted common stock to the former owners of Engeni. An additional 10,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock were also issued to two of the former owners of Engeni as part of a consulting agreement entered into between the Company and former owners. Upon the achievement of certain milestones, the owners of Engeni may receive up to 733,300 additional shares of Company restricted Common Stock plus $100,000.

Revenue

 

Total revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $2,212,479, which represented an increase of $1,196,817 compared to total revenue of $1,015,662 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase primarily resulted from increased revenue from security and guarding, and new revenue streams of systems installation and software.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personnel. Cost of revenues increased by $792,255 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, to $1,560,387 as compared to $768,132 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in security personnel associated with higher revenue, as well as the acquisition of BioTrack.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses encompass selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company. Our operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $3,215,688 and $656,989 respectively. The overall $2,558,699 increase in operating expenses was attributable to the following increases in operating expenses of:

 

General and administrative expenses – $325,150;

 

Salaries and wages – $1,429,313;

 

Professional and legal fees – $16,644; and

 

Depreciation and amortization – $787,592.

 

34

 

  

The $325,150 increase in general and administrative expenses is a result of increases in rent expense, advertising and travel expenses resulting from an expansion in our operations. The $1,429,313 increase in salaries and wages resulted from an increase in headcount, including BioTrack personnel and an increase in share-based compensation. The $16,644 increase in professional and legal fees primarily resulted from an increase in legal fees and costs associated with fundraising. The $787,592 increase in depreciation and amortization was due to amortization of intangible assets acquired in the BioTrack acquisition.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Net other income (expense) consisted of gains on the change in the fair value of convertible note, change in fair value of warrant obligations, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition, and interest expense. Net other income (expense) during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $735,248 and $(2,015,541), respectively. The $2,750,789 increase in other income (expense) was primarily attributable to a gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes of $120,630, gain on the change in the fair value of warrant obligations of $321,161, gain on the change in fair value associated with an obligation pursuant to acquisition of $290,441, an exclusion of a loss on an induced conversion in the current period and interest expense of $3,016 recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Net loss

 

For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $1,828,348 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, or $0.04 net loss per common share, basic and diluted, respectively compared to a net loss of $2,425,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.08 net loss per common share, basic and diluted.

 

Convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend

 

The convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend resulted from the effective conversion price of the Series B preferred shares at issuance being less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. The result was a non-cash charge in the amount of $7,203,689 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3,155,887 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net Loss Attributable to common shareholders

 

For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $9,032,037 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, or $0.21 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders - basic and diluted, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $5,580,887 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.20 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders – basic and diluted.

Revenue

 

Total revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $3,340,817, which represented an increase of $1,633,418 compared to total revenue of $1,707,399 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase primarily resulted from increased revenue from security and guarding, and new revenue streams of systems installation and software.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personnel. Cost of revenues increased by $972,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, to $2,351,092 as compared to $1,378,335 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in security personnel associated with higher revenue, as well as the acquisition of BioTrack.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses encompass selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees, and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company. Our operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $5,248,550 and $1,147,038 respectively. The overall $4,101,512 increase in operating expenses was attributable to the following increases in operating expenses of:

  

General and administrative expenses – $495,049;

 

Salaries and wages – $2,133,901;

 

Professional and legal fees – $507,694; and

  

Depreciation and amortization – $964,868.

 

36

 

  

The $495,049 increase in general and administrative expenses is a result of increases in rent expense, advertising and travel expenses resulting from an expansion in our operations. The $2,133,901 increase in salaries and wages resulted from an increase in headcount, including BioTrack personnel and an increase in share-based compensation. The $507,694 increase in professional and legal fees primarily resulted from an increase in legal fees and costs associated with fundraising. The $964,868 increase in depreciation and amortization was due to amortization of intangible assets acquired in the BioTrack acquisition.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Net other income (expense) consisted of gains on the change in the fair value of convertible note, change in fair value of warrant obligations, change in the fair value of note payable – related party, loss on impairment of goodwill, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition, and interest expense. Net other income (expense) during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,991,800 and $(7,074,696), respectively. The $9,066,496 increase in other income (expense) was primarily attributable to a gain on the change in fair value of convertible notes of $697,646, a gain on the change in fair value of convertible note – related party of $118,506, gain on the change in the fair value of warrant obligations of $1,297,840, loss on impairment of goodwill of $(664,329), gain on the reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition of $557,054, and interest expense of $14,917. In addition, no loss on extinguishment of debt or induced conversion of convertible note was recognized compared to $(1,503,876) and $(4,611,395) recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net loss

 

For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $2,267,025 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, or $0.06 net loss per common share, basic and diluted, respectively compared to a net loss of $7,892,670 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.28 net loss per common share, basic and diluted. 

 

Convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend

 

The convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend resulted from the effective conversion price of the Series B preferred shares at issuance being less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. The result was a non-cash charge in the amount of $22,202,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3,155,887 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net Loss Attributable to common shareholders

 

For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $24,469,219 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, or $0.68 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders - basic and diluted, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $11,048,557 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.39 net loss per share attributable to common shareholders – basic and diluted.

  

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

 

Going Concern

 

Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.

  

37

 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $444,527, net accounts receivable of $1,092,095 and $3,157,323 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we may need to consider additional funding sources toward the end of fiscal 2018. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses, drive growth in revenue and expeditiously resolve any remaining legal matters.

 

The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty and as to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on April 4, 2018.

Related Party Transactions

  

The Company has an additional loan outstanding from a Company executive. The advance does not accrue interest and has no definite repayment terms. The loan balance was $65,250 and $124,750 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

On March 11, 2016, the Company entered into an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Five”) with Paul Hodges, a Director of the Company (the “Related Party Holder”). The Related Party Holder provided the Company with $150,000 in cash, and the Company promised to pay the principal amount, together with interest at an annual rate of 7%, with principal and accrued interest on Note Five due and payable on December 31, 2017 (unless converted under terms and provisions as set forth below). The principal balance of Note Five was convertible at the election of the Related Party Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at a forty percent (40%) discount to the average market closing price for the previous five (5) trading days, preceding the date of conversion election. The Company evaluated Note Five in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that Note Five will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

 

On February 20, 2018, Helix TCS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to amend the Convertible Promissory Note (this “Amendment”) with the Related Party Holder initially issued to such Holder and dated March 2016 (the “Note”). The Company and Holder desire to extend the maturity date of the Note to August 20, 2018.

 

The Note is hereby amended as follows. The Company promises to pay (i) all accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount through December 31, 2017 and (ii) $25,000 in principal within 5 business days of the date of this Amendment. The Company agrees to issue 15,000 shares of restricted Company common stock as an inducement for this amendment within 10 business days of the date of this Amendment. The principal amount of the note will be reduced to $125,000. Unless extended by the Company, converted or prepaid earlier, all unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable on August 20, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). All provisions related to conversion of the Note into equity securities of the Company were terminated as part of this Amendment.

 

As of February 20, 2018, the fair value of the liability was $239,343; however, due to termination of the conversion of the note into equity securities, Note Five will be valued in its principal amount of $125,000 and accordingly the Company recorded a credit regarding the change in fair value of $0 and charge of $43,696 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $118,506 and $56,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The interest expense associated with Note Five was $0 and $2,618 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,402 and $5,178 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures 

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control problems or acts of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 

These inherent limitations 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 the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018, the end of the interim period covered by this report established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. The evaluation of our internal controls and procedures included a review of the internal controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. 

 

In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Based on that evaluation, management, including our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the continuing existence of material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

  

41

 

 

Management has determined that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018 due to the existence of the following material weaknesses identified by management:

 

  The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked personnel with accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.

 

  Inadequate segregation of duties.

 

We expect to be materially dependent on a third party that can provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future. We believe that we are in the process of addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting and we are developing specific action plans for each of the above material weaknesses. Because the remedial actions require hiring of additional personnel, upgrading certain of our information technology systems and relying extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these controls for at least several quarters may be required before management may be able to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. We intend to continue to evaluate and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish adequate internal control over financial reporting, we may encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to comply with our SEC reporting obligations.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  

42

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Occasionally, we may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. We record a provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

 

There is currently no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self- regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material effect on the Company, with the exception of:

 

Baker, et al. v. Helix TCS, Inc.

 

On March 8, 2017, two former employees filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Colorado Wage Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees. On April 3, 2017, we moved to dismiss the complaint. As of June 30, 2018, the claim is currently in the process of discovery.

 

Kenney, et al. v. Helix TCS, Inc.

 

On July 20, 2017 one former employee filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees.

 

At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, any possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the lawsuit or any potential effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. However, the Company believes the lawsuit is wholly without merit and will defend itself from these claims vigorously.

 

 

Helix TCS, Inc. v. Beckett, et al.

 

On March 6, 2018 the Company filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the city and county of Denver alleging violations in previously disclosed representations and warranties by the plaintiff as part of the Security Grade acquisition. Following the appointment of a registered Pubic Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) auditor, certain financial misrepresentations, including undisclosed liabilities, the overstatement of revenues, and the misclassification of certain revenues as being recurring, were discovered, ultimately artificially inflating the price of the membership interests in Security Grade.

 

At this time, the Company has entered a declaration surrounding their right of setoff against one or more of the sellers pursuant in the terms of the Master Interest Purchase Agreement. The Company cannot currently predict the outcome of the lawsuit.
