NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

September 30, 2019

 

Note 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of Arrestage International, Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and footnotes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Organization and Description of the Business

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 15, 2011 and is in the Nutraceutical business holding formulas for skin care products as well as brand formulas, and other intellectual property.

 

Use of Estimates by Management

 

The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash and are not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. As a result, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

 

 Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company did not have any cash balances on deposit with banks which exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC, and does not believe that it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized while intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The appropriateness of the indefinite-life classification of non-amortizable intangible assets is also reviewed as part of the annual testing or when circumstances warrant a change to a finite life. The Company performs its annual impairment testing as of December 31 each year, which is the last day of the Company’s fiscal year.

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (The Trademark License) are tested for impairment at the individual asset level by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. Fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are estimated using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models.

 

5

 

 

 

In using a DCF method of establishing a fair value, management must make certain assumptions as to the likelihood of having cash flow from operations in the future based on past performance and prospects of sales in the future. The Company has no history of sales and no orders pending. Therefore, it is not possible to determine an appropriate level of cash receipts from operations into the future. Based on this assumption, during 2014 management determined that the fair value of the Trademark License under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles was zero. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to write the carrying value of the Trademark license to zero as of December 31, 2014.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, employee advances, due from related parties, prepaid expenses, development costs, deposits, accounts payable, credit cards payable, accrued expenses, and due to related parties. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short and long-term debts approximates fair value because those financial instruments bear interest at rates that approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Ricks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a business combination.

 

Basis of Presentation-Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no operations, a net loss of ($75,049) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to ($84,764) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an accumulated deficit of (269,139) and ($194,090) at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 respectively. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis because the Directors, officers and significant shareholders have undertaken to provide continuing financial support so that the Company is able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. In addition, Management’s plans to ensure the Company continues as a going concern include the pay-down of outstanding debt of the Company and funding of future operations using proceeds from the revenues expected to be generated from the sale of products and services within acquired companies.

 

While the Company looks to acquire targeted acquisitions, adverse changes in market conditions or limits on the Company’s ability to obtain financing could limit the Company’s acquisition of such targets and the production, marketing and sale of products and services of the targeted acquisitions. The impact of such eventualities could influence future operations of the Company.

Income Taxes

 

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, the effect of net operating losses, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards. The net operating loss carry is severely restricted as per the Internal Revenue code if there is a change in ownership. The Company’s deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. Net operating loss carry forwards may be further limited by other provisions of the tax laws.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. There were no options or warrants outstanding at September 30, 2019 nor December 31, 2018 diluted earnings per share is not shown for the periods in which the Company incurs a loss because it would be anti-dilutive.

 

Equity-Based Compensation

 

Pursuant to accounting guidance related to accounting for equity-based compensation, the Company is required to recognize all share-based payments to non-employees and employees in the financial statements based on fair values on the grant date. The Company has accounted for issuance of shares, options, and warrants in accordance with the guidance, which requires the recognition of expense, based on grant-date fair values, over the service period.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

 

Other

 

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The Company has paid no dividends.

 

No advertising expense has been incurred.

 

The Company consists of one reportable business segment.

 

The Company has not entered into any leases or other material agreements.

 

Note 2-Income Taxes

 

At September 30, 2019, the Company has approximately $324,586 of operating loss carryforwards for federal income taxes that may be applied against future taxable income. There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. The most significant impact of the legislation for the Company was a $49,000 reduction of the value of net deferred tax assets (which represent future tax benefits) as a result of lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from statutory rate of 34% to 21%.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards. The net operating loss carry is severely restricted as per the Internal Revenue code if there is a change in ownership. The Company’s deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. Net operating loss carry forwards may be further limited by other provisions of the tax laws. With few exceptions, our income tax returns are no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2011.

 

The Company is subject to federal and state income tax. No provision for tax has been made as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 as the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. The following table reconciles the Company’s statutory tax rate to its effective tax rate as a percentage of income before income taxes under the Act:

 

The components of the Company’s deferred income tax assets are set forth below:

 

Period Ending  Estimated NOL Carry-forward   NOL Expires  Estimated Tax Benefit from NOL   Valuation Allowance   Change in Valuation Allowance   Net Tax Benefit

Item 2. Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Arrestage International, Inc. (“AII”) is a Nevada Corporation within the nutraceutical healthcare and wellness space.

 

Nutraceutical and Topical Pain Relief

 

Arrestage owns formulations and an exclusive license for various unique product lines and formulations for skin care products. The Company is also exploring opportunities to acquire and/or license product lines within the topical pain relief market.

 

The Company intends to create significant brands in the aesthetic skin care and the topical pain relief segments. The product lines will be held in wholly, or majority, owned subsidiaries created to specialize in the various segments. For instance, skin care products will be held in a distinct subsidiary and topical pain products will be held in another. The financial results will be consolidated at the corporate level.

 

Arrestage is exploring the possibility of expanding product lines through acquisitions of new products that will allow additional market share. The Company may also perform research and development functions in-house, which could include the development or acquisition of an entirely new product line or expansion of the current line. Management feels that the target products are on the cutting edge of health applications and import new techniques integrating Allopathic medicine, Naturopathic medicine, and some New Age features. Because of the relationships that have been established within the research and development planning and due diligence, the Company is in a prime position to view and explore potential products that fit within the Company’s strategy.

 

Medical Device Equipment Rental

 

The Company plans to capitalize on current trends in the health care industry where healthcare providers have begun renting expensive medical equipment rather than purchasing that equipment as cost saving strategy. Arrestage will establish a medical device rental subsidiary that purchases or secures medical devices such as MRI and ultra-sound systems and various other diagnostic equipment. Our target market will be physician groups, clinics, rural hospitals, and insurance companies. Arrestage intends to obtain residual income from such rentals and will attempt to secure a fully secured UCC-1 position on each piece of equipment.

 

According to market research by IBISWorld in a March 2019 report, the United States medical equipment rental market has reached a value of $4 billion in 2019. They stated that “over the past five years, the Medical Equipment Rental industry has exhibited growth due to the rapid advent of high-cost equipment. As many healthcare providers have grappled with cuts in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, they have implemented cost-saving strategies. In particular, many healthcare providers have rented rather than purchased medical equipment because they can access up-to-date technologies at a lower cost. For instance, some hospitals have rented ultrasound, remote patient monitoring and X-ray equipment, as well as other types of medical equipment that tend to become obsolete quickly. Furthermore, the regulatory environment has promoted demand for medical equipment rentals”.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Arrestage international has of two officers. As the Company acquires additional product lines and/or licenses, it may add additional officers and full-time employees. However, under the Company’s business plan, most day to day operations will be at the subsidiary level, allowing Arrestage to minimize the number of employees and other G&A expenses at the Corporate level.

Licensing Agreement

 

Effective June 22, 2011 Arrestage entered into an agreement to acquire an exclusive licensing agreement from Ann Shapiro. Mrs. Ann Shapiro is the wife of one of the BOD members Dr. Roy Shapiro, so he had direct insight on this product line. This transaction was completed as a related party transaction with Arrestage. As part of the license agreement Arrestage agreed to pay $50,000 in three installments of unspecified amounts and on unspecified dates in exchange for consideration received. The license agreement expires in 2025.

 

“GRANT OF LICENSE. ALS (Ann Shapiro) owns Registered Trademark of Arrestage and cosmetic formulas (“ARRESTAGE MARK & FORMULAS”). In accordance with this Agreement, ALS grants All (Arrestage International, Inc.) an exclusive license to sell the ARRESTAGE MARK & FORMULAS. ALS retains title and ownership of the ARRESTAGE MARK & FORMULAS.”

 

All rights other than those specifically granted herein to Licensee are reserved to Licensor, including, without limitation, Licensors right to continue to use the Licensed Property in any form, manner, and medium.

 

Funding during the next twelve months will come primarily from serviceable debt financing and, if effective, capital market financing. The Company will be reliant on such debt financing, access to capital markets, or future revenues, since the company currently has no revenue.

 

Planned Medical Device Rental Division

 

The Company plans to capitalize on current trends in the health care industry where healthcare providers have begun renting expensive medical equipment rather than purchasing that equipment as cost saving strategy. Arrestage will establish a medical device rental subsidiary that purchases or secures medical devices such as MRI and ultra sound systems and various other diagnostic equipment. Our target market will be physician groups, clinics, rural hospitals, and insurance companies. Arrestage intends to obtain residual income from such rentals and would maintain a fully secured UCC-1 position on each piece of equipment. To grow this division, Arrestage plans to aggressively market such services to help meet the expanding demand of medical systems due to the current healthcare trends. The United States medical equipment rental market has reached a value of $4 billion in 2019. Over the past five years, the Medical Equipment Rental industry has exhibited growth due to the rapid advent of high-cost equipment. As many healthcare providers have grappled with cuts in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, they have implemented cost-saving strategies. In particular, many healthcare providers have rented rather than purchased medical equipment because they can access up-to-date technologies at a lower cost. For instance, some hospitals have rented ultrasound, remote patient monitoring and X-ray equipment, as well as other types of medical equipment that tend to become obsolete quickly. Furthermore, the regulatory environment has promoted demand for medical equipment rentals.

 

Results of Operations

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019, compared to the Six Months Ended September 30, 2018

 

The following table sets forth the results of our current operations for the periods indicated as a percentage of total expenses:

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses decreased approximately 19% to $63,714 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $78,243for nine months ended September 30, 2018The decrease in our operating expenses between the periods was mostly attributable to a decrease in legal and professional fees related to the filing of the Company’s an S-1 Registration.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest Expense increased by $4,814 to $11,335 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $6,521 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of increased borrowing to fund operations.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was ($75,049). compared to net loss from continuing operations of ($84,764) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in our net loss between the periods was mostly attributable to a decrease in legal and professional fees related to the filing of the Company’s an S-1 Registration.

 

Seasonality

 

We believe that our business will be characterized by minor seasonality. However, sales to any particular customer or of any particular product can vary substantially from one quarter to the next based on such factors as industry trends, timing of promotional discounts, domestic and international economic conditions and acquisition related activities. The Industry has historically recorded higher branded product sales volume during the second fiscal quarter (January through March) due to increased interest in health-related products among consumers following the holiday season.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our immediate future principal demands for liquidity are to enable the Company to continue to fund the expenses associated with maintaining reporting requirements and becoming a trading Company and general corporate purposes. We have no history of sales and have incurred negative operating cash flows since inception to date in 2019. To date we have borrowed approximately $205,000 from a shareholder and Director in the form of a multiple advance 8% Demand Note.

 

Although the Company may produce revenues within the next few operating quarters, we do not plan on our operating activities being able to fund operations over the next four quarters. In December 2017, the Company filed an S-1 Registration with the SEC with the plan of raising equity financing to raise capital to execute on its business plan. On October 11, 2018 the Company received a Notice of Effectiveness from the SEC indicating that the S-1 Registration was effective as of that date. The Company has been in conversations with Network 1 Financial Securities, a FINRA registered broker/dealer, to facilitate the filing of a Form 15(c)211 with FINRA to enable the Company to become a trading company. The Company and Network 1 has determined that the quickest route to a trading symbol is to file a that, post effective amendment to the S-1 registering existing shares. Subsequent to acceptance by the SEC of that amendment, the Company and Network 1 will determine the best strategy for raising additional capital through the capital markets.

 

There can be no assurance that required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to us. Any future issuance of equity securities could cause dilution to our shareholders. Any incurrence of indebtedness would increase our debt service obligations and would cause us to be subject to restrictive operating and financial covenants.

We had negative net working capital of ($269,139) as of September 30, 2019 as compared to negative working capital of $(194,090) as of December 31, 2018.

 

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the six months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

 

   2019   2018 
Cash provided by (used in):        
Operating activities  $(56,009)  $(70,623)
Financing activities  $54,135   $69,044 

 

Net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations was $(56,009) for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations of $(70,623) for the same period in 2018. The decrease in the amount of cash used by our operating activities was due primarily to an decrease in professional fees related to the S-1 Registration.

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $54,135 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities of $69,044 for the same period in 2018. Net cash flows provided by financing activities was a result of proceeds from the Multiple Advance 8% Demand Note Payable in the first six months of 2019.

 

Indebtedness

 

On June 27, 2011 the Company entered into a Multiple Advance Demand Note with The Shapiro Trust, beneficial owner of 40% of the outstanding equity in the Company. The Note is due upon Demand and bears an interest rate of 8% per annum. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the principal balance on the Note was $204,992 and $150,857, respectively.

Directors and Employees

 

The company currently has two members of management and 5 Board Members, whom do not receive compensation. The Board of Directors of the Company will address compensation of the Officers on a case-by-case basis into the foreseeable future as corporate needs arise. The Board plans to maintain minimal overhead, believing that by adhering to its licensing strategy and utilizing its current Board and Management, it can keep the Company’s headcount to ten or fewer employees in the near term.

 

On April 19, 2019 Phillip Weisman, a member of the Board of Directors since June 2011, passed away. The Board appointed Mr. Nick White to the Board of Directors as of August 22, 2019 to fill the seat vacated by Mr. Phillip Weisman’s death on April 19, 2019. In addition, the Board appointed Mr. John Muldoon to the Board on August 22, 2019 also. On October 21, 2019 the Board appointed Mr. Muldoon as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 1 to the September 30, 2019 Financial Statements which we believe are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

During the first quarter of 2018 our CEO, the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and a financial consultant began evaluating the design and effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). As of that date the President, Chairman of the audit committee and the consultant concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Again, on December 31, 2018 the CEO and CFO evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018 and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

The Company reviews its disclosure controls and procedures on a quarterly basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participate in the evaluation. Where required, they have the authority to implement appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to remedy any material weaknesses. For the quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Cyber Security, Data Protection and Privacy

 

Arrestage has assessed its level of controls and procedures for cybersecurity risk. Due to the current lack of exposure within its current business operations, Arrestage has been informed the effect of any cyber-attack would be minimum. Arrestage has not had any such occurrence to date. The Company is informed of cyber-risk factors and will create disclosure controls and procedures when they become relevant to its business model.

 

Based on new Regulatory authority of the European Unions’ General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and tightening US laws, Arrestage International must abide by and follow directives provided by such regulation.

 

For Privacy Protection Compliance in the US, California’s SB1386 bill of 2003, implemented in 2015 as (California Electronic Communication Privacy Act (S.B. 178) a pioneered mandatory data-breach notification across the United States, spurring a decade of unprecedented corporate spending on information security. Europe has expanded this idea into its landmark General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As such, Arrestage International, Inc., now needs to update its US privacy incident-response playbook in many areas outlined in the GDPR’s May 2018 compliance directives.

 

Data Protection in the US deals with the security of the electronic transmission of personal data. While the US does not have any centralized, formal legislation at the federal level regarding this issue, it does mandate a form of compliance through various organizations. Again, California has taken the lead as far as State mandates (California A.B 1541, 2015), but the EU’s GDPR creates a centralized regulatory framework that multi-nationals must now follow (as of May 25, 2018). While Arrestage International, Inc. has acted to abide by data privacy and protection mandates, any misinterpretation or non-adherence would case regulatory scrutiny, fees/fines, and other potential issues. Any such regulatory mandate would affect business operations and percentage of profitability.
