Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

 

1.	Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

a) Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on June 15, 2018.

 

b) Functional and Reporting Currency

 

These interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar. For purposes of preparing these interim financial statements, balances denominated in Canadian Dollars outstanding at June 30, 2018 were converted into United States Dollars at a rate of 1.31 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Balances denominated in Canadian Dollars outstanding at December 31, 2017 were converted into United States Dollars at a rate of 1.26 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars for the period ended June 30, 2018 were converted into United States Dollars at an average rate of 1.28 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar. Transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars for the period ended June 30, 2017 were converted into United States Dollars at an average rate of 1.33 Canadian Dollars to one United States Dollar.

 

c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

d) Going Concern

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $979,688 and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $9,570,917. While the Company has demonstrated the ability to generate revenue, there are no assurances that it will be able to achieve level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available the Company may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this risk and uncertainty.

 

2.	Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting polices used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

 

Franchise Holdings International, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

 

The Company also implemented the following accounting standard effective January 1, 2018.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”) using the full retrospective transition method. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are distinct performance obligations.

 

The Company’s products consist of truck bed covers for light duty trucks with its primary markets being in the United States and Canada. The Company plans to expand globally as they find suitable markets with a demand for the products they manufacture. The Company’s sales their product through the aftermarket and other markets. Revenue generated in Canada for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was $19,574 and $124,947, respectively. Revenue generated in the United States for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $141,410 and $171,041, respectively.

 

The implementation of ASC 606 had no effect on this period or prior periods. Had the implementation of ASC 606 been applicable, the Company’s prior periods would have needed to be revised to present revenue as if ASC 606 had been applicable for all periods presented.

During the period ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes payable, which contain features that entitles the holder to convert any outstanding amounts payable under the convertible promissory note into a share of the common stock of the Company, the number of which is dependent on several factors. As such, ASC 815 determines the convertible promissory note to be a hybrid financial instrument that includes an embedded derivative that requires separation from the main financial instrument and recognition at fair value.

 

During the period ended June 30, 2017, certain convertible promissory notes to which the derivative liabilities relate, were converted to shares of the Company’s common stock. During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized an aggregate loss on the value of the derivative liability of $484,720 related to the changes in value from January 1, 2017 to the dates upon which the convertible promissory notes were converted.

 

6.	Common Stock

 

During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 62,144,524 common shares pursuant to the conversion of the convertible promissory notes.

 

During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 72,000,000 common shares of the Company to its CEO pursuant to the Company’s employee stock incentive plan at a deemed cost of $0.001 per share. The fair value of the common shares of $1,360,000 has been included as general and administrative expense during the period ended June 30, 2017.

From April through June, the investor relations company had met milestones that corresponded to $63,600 of expense being recorded. None of the shares had been issued through June 30, 2018.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into a share issuance/ claim extinguishment agreement with two parties, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 50,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the assumption of aggregate accounts payable of the Company totaling $154,057. The fair value of the shares to be issued was estimated to be $650,000 resulting in a loss on the settlement of debt in the amount of $495,943 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the period ended June 30, 2018 5,944,449 shares have been issued under this agreement.

As mentioned in Note 6, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued the CEO 72,000,000 shares valued at $1,360,000.

 

9.	Concentration of Customer Risk

 

The following table includes the percentage of the Company’s sales to significant customers for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, as well as the balance included in accounts receivable for each significant customer as at June 30, 2018 and 2017. A customer is considered to be significant if they account for greater than 10% of the Company’s annual sales.

 

		2018								2017
		$				%				$				%
Customer A			121,079				41.0	%			4,415				66.0

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, revenue generated from the entire line of Worksport products was $295,988, as compared to $169,747, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The year over year increase of approximately 75% was mainly attributable to Canadian distributor sales and an additional private label order that shipped during the six month period ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred a shortage of inventory that resulted in a reduced amount of sales to dealers that depend on Worksport “just in time’ inventory. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, revenue generated from the entire line of Worksport products was $160,983 as compared to $68,484 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The year over year increase of approximately 135% was mainly attributable to filling portions of distributor orders and shipping the additional Worksport private label orders.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, revenue generated in Canada was $124,947 compared to $115,088 for the same period in 2017, an increase of 9%. This increase in sales is attributable to portions of back orders being shipped during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as well as a new continued gradual success of the Worksport Private Label sales initiative. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, revenue generated in Canada was $19,574 compared to $33,006 for the same period in 2017, an decrease of 40%. In addition to effect of insufficient levels of inventory to satisfy orders during the period ended June 30, 2018, the weak Canadian Dollar compared to the United States Dollar during the first six months of fiscal 2018 had a negative effect on reported revenues as a result of translating the sales denominated in Canadian Dollars to United States Dollars for financial statement reporting purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 revenue generated in the United States was $171,041 compared to $54,659 for the same period in 2017. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 revenue generated in the United States was $141,410 compared to $35,477 for the same period in 2017. These represent year-over-year increases in US- source revenue of approximately 212% and 298%, respectively, and is primarily attributable to new private label sales during the periods ended June 30, 2018.

 

Sales from online retailers of the Worksport products increased from $141,410 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $52,976 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 167%. The online retailers accounted for over 57% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 46% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Distributor sales increased from $96,243 in 2017, to $121,080 in 2018, an increase of over 26%. The remaining revenues consist of sales from key area dealers.

 

Sales from online retailers of the Worksport products increased from $98,528 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $39,675 in the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 148%. Distributor sales decreased from $29,808 in three months ended June 30, 2017, to $19,575, due to inventory shortages. The remaining revenues consist of sales from key area dealers.

 

 

Currently, Worksport has one major distributor in Canada, one in the United States, along with its own contracted distribution and inventory facility in Pennsylvania. This does not include multiple independent online retailers.

 

Although Worksport currently supports a total of 14 dealers and distributors, Worksport believes the trend of increasing sales through online retailers will continue to outpace the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, reputable online retailer’s customers tend to provide larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales increased for the first six months of 2018 as compared to the first six months of 2017 by 88% from $133,573 to $251,003, representing 85% of revenue. This increase was primarily due to a corresponding increase in sales for the period as well as the reduction of shipping and freight costs included in cost of sales. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 79% and 85% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, cost of sales increased by 77% to $111,066 from $62,582 in the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was due to a corresponding increase in sales for the period as well as delayed invoicing from suppliers related to US shipped sales recognized in the quarter ended March 30, 2018. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was approximately 91% and 78% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018. The increase in the percentage of cost of sales during the three month period is a result of a significant portion of the sales for the quarter were generated from a new product with a lower margin as part of the introduction of the new product with increased shipping costs, paired with delayed billing noted earlier. The increase in the percentage of cost of sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 is due to the majority of the sales for the period ended June 30, 2018 being to US customers that generally have higher shipping costs than sales to Canadian customers. Freight costs were $83,919 and $13,980 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $69,270 and $8,800 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Worksport provides its distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts are also offered to certain higher volume customers.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin percentage for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 9% and 21% respectively. The decrease in gross margin reflects an isolated occurrence due to sales promotions during 2018. Gross margin percentage for the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 0% and 9% respectively. The decrease in gross margin during the three month period is due to the sales promotions mentioned above.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $499,361 compared to $1,519,072 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $309,045 compared to $68,612 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our general and administrative expense was consistent between the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and decreased by $1,326,577, from $1,420,842 to $94,265, between the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The decrease in the six month period is a result of the fair value of $1,360,000 of 72,000,000 common shares issued to the Company’s CEO during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Professional fees which include accounting, legal and consulting fees, increased from $70,615 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $395,605 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and also increased from $44,562 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $274,079 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily related to amortization of consulting expense which had been paid through the issuance of common stock.

 

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

The Company borrowed funds for working capital requirements in exchange for promissory notes, one of which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. Interest expense related to these notes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $19,837 and $27,127.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes in the amount of $132,750 which were determined to be hybrid financial instruments that include embedded derivatives that require separation from the main financial instrument and recognition at fair value. Between December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the fair value of the derivative liabilities increased such that a loss on derivative of $484,720 was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017. As a result of the fair value of the derivative exceeding the face value of the promissory notes at the time of issuance, the Company also recognized a discount on the issuance of the promissory notes which was amortized over the period in which the promissory notes are outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred expense related to the amortization of the discount of $50,801. In connection with the issuance of the convertible promissory note payable, the Company incurred debt issuance costs which are being amortized to debt issuance expense over the maturity period of the convertible promissory note. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, both notes were converted into common shares of the Company which resulted in the Company issuing 62,144,524 common shares in full satisfaction of the outstanding principal and interest. In connection with the conversion, the Company incurred a loss on settlement in the amount of $11,765 and additional finance charges of $21,000.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a share issuance/ claim extinguishment agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 35,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the assumption of aggregate accounts payable of the Company of $183,443. The fair value of the shares to be issued pursuant to the share issuance/ claim extinguishment agreement was estimated to be $1,218,000 resulting in a loss on the settlement of debt of $1,034,557 recognized during each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 were $270,242 and $961,688, respectively, compared to net losses of $1,103,382 and $3,056,800 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the net losses were mainly due to the fair value of $1,360,000 of 72,000,000 common shares issued to the Company’s CEO during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 offset by an increase in professional fees resulting from the amortization of consulting expense which had been paid through the issuance of common stock.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow Activities

 

Cash increased from $66,961 at December 31, 2017 to $77,130 at June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of the timing of inbound payments from customers, and outbound payments to vendors. Accounts receivable decreased by $82,424 from $189,502 at December 31, 2017 to $107,078 at June 30, 2018. Inventory increased by $31,948 from $44,635 at December 31, 2017 to $76,583 at June 30, 2018 largely as a result of the timing of the receipt of inventory shipments. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $105,703 from $230,770 at December 31, 2017 to $336,473 at June 30, 2018. The increase in payables is related to the timing of outbound payments to vendors based on the lack of cash as well as the non cash decrease in payables through the assumption of accounts payable in the amount of $183,443 pursuant to the share issuance claim extinguishment agreement.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Worksport invested $4,873 in warehouse equipment. No investing activities occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Worksport funded working capital requirements principally through the issuance of promissory notes in the amount of $52,081.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in this quarterly report. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information in this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of June 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reason described below.

 

Because of our limited operations, we have limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

 

FNHI’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within FNHI 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of that our reports will be accurate. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concludes that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our future reports shall also indicate that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed for this reason and shall indicate the related conclusion by the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer as to their effectiveness.
