Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

History of the Business

 

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

 

In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff into a holding company enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public company. Cardiff began targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, income-producing commercial real estate properties, and high return investments, all designed to pay a dividend to our shareholders. The reason for this strategy was to protect our shareholders by acquiring profitable small- to minimum-sized businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors. The plan is to establish new classes of preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt, and acquire new businesses. By December 31, 2019, we have acquired ten businesses four merged into two and one we chose to close. Currently, we have: We Three (AHI); Romeo’s NY Pizza; Edge View Properties; Repicci’s Franchise Group; Platinum Tax Defenders and JM Enterprises (dba as Key Tax Group.

Current Business Operations

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Competition

 

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

Government Regulation

 

We do not expect to be subject to material governmental regulation. However, it is our policy to fully comply with all governmental regulation and regulatory authorities.

 

Research and Development

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

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

 

As of this filing, though still not profitable, Cardiff is generating revenue which helps mitigate the risk. As a result, though pleased with our acquisitions, we may never become profitable, and could go out of business.

 

Since 2014, we have restructured ourselves into a holding company and have acquired seven additional businesses;

 

1.

We Three, LLC (Affordable Housing Initiative);

2.

Romeo’s NY Pizza (merged Fortuna Restaurant Group and R & T Restaurant Group into Romeo’s Alpharetta);

3.

Edge View Properties, Inc;

4.

Repicci’s Franchise Group, Inc. (merged Refreshment Concepts, LLC into Repicci’s Franchise Group, Inc.); FDR Enterprises, Inc.;

5.

Platinum Tax Defenders, LLC and

6.

Red Rock Travel (Discontinued)

7.

JM Enterprises (dba – Key Tax Group).

 

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

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 our auditors have included an emphasis paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern, due to our continued losses and deficiencies in working capital. We believe our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

 

·

our ability to acquire profitable businesses within CDIX; and

 

·

our ability to generate substantial revenues; and

 

·

our ability to obtain additional financing

 

Based upon current plans, we may incur operating losses in future periods. Also, we expect approximately $3,500,000 in operating costs to be incurred over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or obtaining other financing in the future to cover these operating costs. Additionally, financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to generate sufficient revenues may cause us to go out of business.

 

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

 

We were incorporated in August 2001 and have focused all our efforts on the development of our portfolio of companies which have quadrupled our revenue since 2015. However, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you hold and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

  

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

 

·

The competitive environment in the specific field of business acquired; and

 

·

Our ability to acquire the right businesses that meet customers’ needs; and

 

·

Our ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Our stock has limited liquidity.

 

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

 

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

 

·

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

·

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;

 

·

changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;

 

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

·

introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for our products;

 

·

departure of key personnel.

 

 

 

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

 

Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker- dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to such sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Holders

 

As of December 31, 2019, there were 849 record holders of our common stock, and there were 677,419,812 (post-reverse split) shares of our common stock outstanding.

 

Public Market for Common Stock

 

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

  

			High Close				Low Close
December 31, 2019
1st Quarter		$	1.34			$	.06
2nd Quarter		$	.10			$	.07

3rd Quarter		$	.013			$	.001
4th Quarter		$	.002			$	.001

 

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

 

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

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

 

·

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

 

·

contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;

 

·

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

 

·

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and

 

·

contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;

 

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

 

·

the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

 

·

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

 

·

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

 

·

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

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

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.

Results of Operations

 

Revenues. We had revenues in the amount of $4,541,142 and $2,373,938 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of Key Tax and having a full year with Platinum Tax in 2019 offset by the Red Rock Travel which was discontinued and closed May 31, 2019. We expect revenue to increase during 2020, as we will realize a full year for Key Tax and our continuous effort for new acquisitions.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. We had costs of sales in the amount of $2,297,081 and $1,627,698 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Key Tax and having a full year with Platinum Tax in 2019 offset by the reduction in cost of sales for Red Rock Travel which was closed May 31, 2019.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of depreciation, impairments and general and administrative expenses. We had operating expenses of $3,560,051 and $4,953,408 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to an impairment of assets of $300,000 and an impairment of goodwill of $1,459,725 in 2018 compared to zero impairments in 2019. We had a loss due to impairment of goodwill of $932,529 and loss on disposal of assets of $38,584 from our Romeo’s Pizza stores and the impairment of goodwill relates to our traveling services subsidiary which closed in May 2019. Salaries and wages expense increased to $2,076,771 from $1,351,678 due primarily to the high level of use of employees to run the tax resolution services company, Platinum Tax operated for a full year in 2019, Key Tax was acquired in May 2019 offset by the reduction in salaries and wages for Red Rock Travel which was closed May 2019. Additionally, no equity instruments were issued as compensation as 2019 compared to the issuance of 250,000,002 shares of (pre-split) preferred stock and 3,886,9330 shares of (pre-split) common stock, resulting in non-cash stock-based compensation of $287,471 during the year ended December 31, 2018. Professional fees expense increased to $416,034 from $391,136 due primarily to Platinum Tax will be operating for a full year in 2019, Key Tax was acquired in May 2019 offset by the reduction in professional fees for Red Rock Travel which was closed May 31, 2019.

  

Change in value of derivative liability. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 the change in value of derivative liability amounted to $(2,482,145) and $(629,176), respectively. In 2019, we issued 4 convertible promissory notes totaling $368,500, all of which were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at discount to the market. As a result, we had change in value of derivative liability amounted to $(2,482,145). We remeasured the fair value of the beneficial conversion derivative through the date of conversion (with a change to earnings), with $2,861,433 derivative liability reclassified to paid-in capital at conversion.

 

Amortization of debt discounts. We had amortization of debt discount of $648,468 and $950,736 for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization of debt discount is related to our convertible debt.

 

Interest Expense. During the years end December 31, 2019 and 2018, interest expense amounted to $489,294 and 360,331, respectively. The increase in interest was a result of new borrowings in 2019.

 

Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $6,363,632 for the December 31, 2019, which is compared to the net loss for the December 31, 2018 of $6,265,251.

 

Our activities have a focus on growing revenue. We plan to continue this strategy into 2019.

 

To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $20,000,000 in revenue per year. Each dollar of revenue is not directly tied to increasing costs. We believe that we can become profitable without incurring additional costs under our current operating cost structure. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. If we need additional capital, our directors have informally agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2019 for working capital purposes, although they have no obligation to do so.

 

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

 

 

 

 

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $3,500,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $100,777 and a working capital deficit of $10,080,840. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash of $118,307 and a working capital deficit of $6,914,965.

 

Net cash used in by operating activities was $1,048,243 for the December 31, 2019, representing a $225,857 increase in net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in the amount of net cash used in operating activities in 2019 compared to last year was primarily attributable the recognition of deferred revenue of $222,428.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $32,448 for the December 31, 2019 compared with cash used in investing activities of $760,153, during the December 31, 2018. The cash flows used in investing activities in 2019 was primarily related to the acquisition of Key Tax Group, offset by the reduction of cash received from disposal of fixed assets.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $717,859 for the December 31, 2019, which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $1,922,153 for the December 31, 2018.

 

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

 

In order to continue our operations, development of our products, and implementation of our business plan, we need additional financing. We are currently attempting to obtain additional working capital in a term loan transaction. The Company entered into a Security Purchase Agreement dated November 20, 2019 to sell preferred series R shares whereby subject to SEC approval of the Company’s S-1 Filing the Company may offer an indeterminate number of shares of its common stock, which will consist of up to 438,000,000 shares of common stock underlying Series R Convertible Preferred Stock to be sold by lender.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Plan of Operation

 

At Cardiff, we acquire or merge with middle market companies by providing them the ability to have an infusion of equity into their business or providing them the ability to exit out of their company. Our focus is not industry or geographic-specific, but rather proven management, market and margin - we are opportunity oriented.

 

We target acquisitions of mature, high growth, niche companies. Our target companies' proven management maintains full operational control, meaning our acquisitions become standalone autonomous subsidiaries that gain the advantages of a public company without losing their operational independence. For investors, our goal is to provide a diversified lower risk platform to protect and safely enhance their investment by continually adding assets and holdings. By employing a merge or acquire and hold strategy, we expect to maximize the value and potential of private, often family run, enterprises while providing diversification and risk mitigation for all shareholders. Our portfolio is comprised of mature, high growth and niche companies with great management, in an identifiable market, which they have penetrated through a significant advantage, and have acceptable margins.

 

 

 

 

Recent Developments

 

During 2018 we acquired, Red Rock Travel Group located in Orlando, FL and Platinum Tax Defenders located in Simi Valley, California and in 2019, we acquired Key Tax located in Jacksonville, Florida.

 

It was determined by the BOD to terminated the acquisition agreement and to file with the State of Florida the cancelation of the Redrock Stock Class.

 

We expect our operations to be affected to the Coronavirus Pandemic although it is too early to determine the significance of its impact.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

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

 

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

 

Derivative Liability

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company historically used the probability weighted average Lattice Binomial models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the December 31, 2018 reporting date. Subsequently, the Company changed its estimate methodology to use the Black-Scholes Model in 2019. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified as current liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

 

 

 

Share-based compensation expense

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

Stock Based Compensation – Nonemployees

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-257, if fully vested, no forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into), whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset.

 

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

 

Inflation

 

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

 

Seasonality.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Cardiff Lexington Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cardiff Lexington Corporation (the Company) at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, deficiency in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained net losses and has accumulated and working capital deficits, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Legacy Card Company (“Legacy”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, Legacy converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, Legacy merged with Cardiff Lexington Corp. (“Cardiff”, the “Company”), a publicly held corporation.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff into a holding company that adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Governance," a form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public company. Cardiff began targeting the acquisition of, niche companies with high growth potential. The reason for this strategy was to protect the Company’s shareholders by acquiring businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors.

 

Description of Business

 

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

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Change in Capital Structure

 

In January 2020, the Company announced a reverse split of several of its Preferred Stock Classes which has been given retrospective treatment in the consolidated financial statements.

 

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company executed a reverse stock split of 1500:1 effective March 21, 2019.

 

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

 

There was no impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit or revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018, as a result of applying Topic 606.

 

The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

 

(1)

identifying the contract with a customer,

 

(2)

identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

 

(3)

determining the transaction price,

 

(4)

allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and

 

(5)

recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

The Company generates revenue from our subsidiaries primarily on a cash basis for sale of food items and monthly rentals of mobile homes. As allowed by a practical expedient in Topic 606, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

 

Our subsidiary Repicci, generates some revenues through franchise fees. Revenues from franchise fees are recognized in accordance with guidance Topic 606, as the fees are earned. One-third of the revenues are recognized within 60 days and the balance are recognized over the life of the franchise agreement, which can be up to 15 years.

 

Our tax services subsidiaries receive payments in advance of service and are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are as services are provided.

 

Rental Income

 

The Company’s rent revenue is derived from the mobile home leases. The expired leases are considered month-to-month leases. In accordance with section 605- 10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition, the cost of property held for leasing by major classes of property according to nature or function, and the amount of accumulated depreciation in total, is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. There are no contingent rentals included in income in the accompanying statements of operations. With the exception of the month-to-month leases, revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis and amortized into income on a monthly basis, over the lease term.

 

Restaurant Sales

 

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

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method which did not have a material impact to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606.

The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

 

Our subsidiary Repicci’s, generates revenues through franchise fees. Revenues from franchise fees are recognized in accordance with guidance Topic 606, as the reference objections are satisfied. The perinate franchise fees associated with the right to intellectual property is earned over the life of the franchise agreement, which can be up to 15 years.

  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is reported on the balance sheet at gross amounts due to the Company. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had accounts receivable of $118,125 and $64,345, respectively. Accounts receivables are primarily generated from our subsidiaries in their normal course of business.

 

Inventory

 

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

 

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

 

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

 

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

  

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived brands are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believe such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. During years-ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the company had Goodwill impairment of $0 and $1,459,725, respectively, related to its acquisition of Red Rock Travel, LLC. The Company based this decision on impairment testing off the underlying assets, expected cash flows, decreased asset value and other factors.

 

 

 

 

Valuation of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and construction in progress held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

 

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital).

 

When the Company records a BCF which is not a conventional convertible, the fair value of the BCF is recorded as a derivative liability with an offset against the face amount of the respective debt instrument which is and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

Level Input Definition

 

Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

 

Level 2

Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

 

 

 

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Fair Value of BCF Derivative Liability – December 31, 2019		$	–			$	–			$	3,102,392			$	3,102,392

 

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Fair Value of BCF Derivative Liability – December 31, 2018		$	–			$	–			$	1,870,625			$	1,870,625

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

The Company early adopted ASU No 2018-07 for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

 

 

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

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

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has sustained recurring loses and accumulated a working capital deficit. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2019 and 2018 consolidated financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

 

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

 

Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,” Leases” (Topic 842) which includes a lessee accounting model that recognizes two types of leases - finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or an operating lease. New disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases are also required. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) 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 ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC 718. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

 

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

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

 

 

 

 

On March 11, 2009, the Company entered into an unsecured Convertible Debenture (“Debenture 2”) with a shareholder in the amount of $15,000. Debenture 2 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at $0.03 per share at the option of the holder. Debenture 2 bore interest at 12% per year, matured on March 11, 2014, and was unsecured.

As a result of the tainted issue by the derivative financial instrument of the convertible notes, The Company determined that the conversion features contained in Debenture 1 and Debenture 2 carrying value represents an embedded derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Black-Scholes Model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion. See Footnote 10 for more information on derivative liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s derivative liabilities are embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s convertible notes payable. Due to the Notes’ conversion feature, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as described in Note 9 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the statement of operations.

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities of $3,102,392 and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each reporting period and record the change of fair value in the consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period.

 

The valuation of the derivative liabilities attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”) using the following assumptions:

 

			Year Ended December 31,
			2019				2018
Volatility			378.8% - 1,872.7%				182.9% - 247.1%
Risk-free interest rate			1.55% - 1.62%				2.36% - 2.72%
Expected term			.47 – 2.8				.13 – 5.14

 

Refer to Note 11 for the derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt instruments, at December 2019 and 2018.

10.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

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

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

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

 

	•	Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2 Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	•	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

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

 

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in note 12. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using terms in the notes that are subject to volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

The derivative liability as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in the amounts of $3,102,392 and $1,870,625 have a level 3 classification.

  

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s stock price decreased from its initial valuation and thus, the derivative liability also decreased. Generally, as the stock price decreases for each of the related convertible notes that have an embedded derivative liability, the value of the derivative liability decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s convertible notes with an embedded derivative liability.

 

 

 

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $3,102,392 and $1,870,625 on December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each period, and record the change of fair value in the consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period. The Company recorded a net decrease of $2,842,145 and $629,176 in its derivative liability for years December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2018:

 

 

Derivative Liability, December 31,2017		$	2,236,656
Day 1 Loss			987,021
Discount from derivatives			775,790
Resolution of derivative liability upon conversion			(1,770,997	)
Mark to market adjustment			(357,845	)
Derivative Liability, December 31, 2018		$	1,870,625

 

The above tables also include derivative liabilities related to warrants to purchase common stock of $3,795 at December 31, 2018. Net loss for the period included mark-to-market adjustments relating to the liabilities held during the year ended December 31, 2018 in the amounts of $133,123.

 

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s stock price decreased from initial valuation. As the stock price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

 

Derivative Liability, December 31,2018		$	1,870,625
Day 1 Loss			24,762,381
Discount from derivatives			1,275,912
Derivatives settled			(2,856,994	)
Mark to market adjustment			21,949,532
Derivative Liability, December 31, 2019		$	3,102,392

 

The above tables also include derivative liabilities related to warrants to purchase common stock of $6,135 at December 31, 2019. Net gain for the period included mark-to-market adjustments relating to the liabilities held during the year ended December 31, 2018 in the amounts of $2,340.

 

 

 

 

The valuation of the derivative liabilities attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”) using the following assumptions:

 

			Year Ended December 31,
			2019				2018
Volatility			378.8% - 1,872.7%				182.9% - 247.1%
Risk-free interest rate			1.55% - 1.62%				2.36% - 2.72%
Expected term			.47 – 2.8				.13 – 5.14

 

For the year-ended December 31, 2019, the Company has recorded derivative liabilities associated with convertible debt instruments, as more fully discussed at Note 11.

12.

WARRANTS

 

Pursuant to the same consulting agreement, dated February 10, 2017, in addition to the 800,000 shares of common stock, the Company agreed to grant a total 800,000 warrants to the consultant for consulting services related to marketing and business development and are exercisable on the grant date and expire in three years. The initial allotment of 200,000 warrants were granted during the first quarter of 2017. The second allotment of 200,000 warrants were granted during the second quarter of 2017. The third allotment of 200,000 warrants were granted during the third quarter of 2017. The fourth allotment of 200,000 warrants were granted during the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

The Company determined that the warrants were tainted and therefore the carrying value represents an embedded derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Black-Scholes Model at the grant dates of the agreement (February 10, 2017, May 10, 2017, August 10, 2017 and December 10, 2017.) and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

 

On April 21, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an unrelated entity, pursuant to which the purchasers agreed to pay the Company an aggregate of up to $600,000 for an aggregate of up to 660,000 in Principal Amount of Notes. The first tranche of $330,000 was closed simultaneously (“Note 13-1”). The proceeds of $300,000, net of $30,000 Original Issuance Discount, was received by the Company.

 

In addition, in connection with this Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company granted purchasers 2,357,143 warrants with exercise price of $0.14 per share (“Warrants A”), 1,885,715 warrants with exercise price of $0.175 per share (“Warrants B”) and 1,571,429 warrants with exercise price of $0.21 per share (“Warrants C”). Warrants A, B and C are exercisable on the grant date and expire in three years, each of which represents 100% of the Principal Amount at the Closing divided by the respective exercise price.

 

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a note agreement for $1,040,000, as part of the note agreement the Company agreed to issue the noteholder warrants exercisable for 4,000,000 shares of common stock with a term of eight years, at an exercise price of $0.04. The terms also include a full-ratchet anti-dilution protection provision and therefore the Company has deemed them to be a derivative liability.

 

The initial and ending valuation of the warrants as of December 31, 2018 are as follows:

 

	Year Ended December 31, 2018
Initial Valuation	$	89,359
Ending Value	$	3,795

  

The table below set forth the assumptions for the Black-Scholes Model on each initial date and December 31, 2018:

 

		Year Ended December 31, 2018
Volatility		213% - 494%
Risk-free interest rate		0.147% - 0.269%
Expected term		2.11 – 2.53

 

Accordingly, the Company recorded warrant expense of $133,123 during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The initial and ending valuation of the warrants as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

	Year Ended December 31, 2019
Initial Valuation	$	3,795
Ending Value	$	6,135

 

The table below set forth the assumptions for the Black-Scholes Model on each initial date and December 31, 2019:

 

		Year Ended December 31, 2019
Volatility		1,847% - 1,861%
Risk-free interest rate		1.60% - 1.83%
Expected term		0.5 – 7.0

  

Accordingly, the Company recorded warrant expense of $2,340 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

  

 

 

 

The following tables summarize all warrant outstanding as of December 31, 2019, and the related changes during this period. The warrants expire three years from grant date, which as of December 31, 201 is 2.31 years. The intrinsic value of the warrants as of December 31, 2019 was $-0-.

13.	STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Company previously agreed to grant Mr. Roberts stock options for a minimum of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of 50% of the current last ten (10) day stock average per share, and 600,000 shares of common stock as a key officer employment incentive to be earned and vested on a pro rata basis at 25,000 shares per month for twenty-four (24) months. The fair value of both 300,000 options and 600,000 shares were determined by the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date, at a price of approximately $0.226 per share. Accordingly, the accrued expense was $135,600 as of December 31, 2017. On August 8, 2017, Mr. Roberts accepted the offer from the Company to issue 3,000,000 common shares to supersede all his options and warrants in the employment agreement.

 

After the cancellation of the above transaction, there were no stock options issued as of December 31, 2017, 2018 or 2019.

15.	INCOME TAXES

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $14,586,354 that expire in various years through the year 2038.

 

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

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

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 and 2018 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $3,815,102 and $3,815,102, respectively, less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $3,815,102 and $3,815,102, respectively. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in both 2019 and 2018. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $811,314 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

 

 

 

The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

 

		2019				2018
Deferred tax assets		$	3,815,102			$	3,815,102
Valuation allowance			(3,815,102	)			(3,815,102	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	–			$	–

 

The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal and state statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was signed into law by President Trump. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also repealing the deduction for domestic production activities, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. U.S. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted. The provisional amounts incorporate assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretation of the Tax Reform Act and may change as the Company receives additional clarification and implementation guidance.

 

16.	SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company has four reportable operating segments as determined by management using the “management approach” as defined by the authoritative guidance on Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information:

 

(1)

Affordable Housing (We Three),

Italian Ice Franchised Stores and Franchisor (Repicci’s Group),

(4)

Tax Resolution Services (Platinum Tax and Key Tax), and

(5)

These segments are a result of differences in the nature of the products and services sold.

Other revenue consists of nonrecurring items.

 

The Affordable Housing segment leases and sells mobile homes as an option for a homeowner wishing to avoid large down payments, expensive maintenance costs, large monthly mortgage payments and high property taxes and insurance which is a common trait of brick and mortar homes. Additionally, if bad credit is an issue preventing potential home owners from purchasing a traditional house, the Company will provide a "lease to own" option so people secure their family home.

 

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

 

Repicci’s Group offers Italian Ice franchises under the well-known name “Repicci’s Italian Ice”. These franchised stores specialize in the distribution of nonfat frozen confections.

17.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

During January 2020, the Company facilitated a reverse split of several of its Preferred Stock Classes which has been given retrospective treatment in these consolidated financial statements. In addition to the reverse stock split, management established new rights & privileges for certain classes of preferred stock. The reverse split ratio ranges from 1.6:1 to 307.7:1 resulting in a reclassification of $98,989 from preferred stock to additional paid in capital. The rights and privileges were changed with unanimous consent of all parties. All holders agreed to replace existing rights and privileges with new uniform conditions and a simplified uniform preferred $4 per share stated value.

 

On January 9, 2020, the Company executed Boards of Directors consent to issue 25,000 warrants and a free trading common share certificate in the amount of 35,000,000 shares of common stock for settlement of a dispute regarding a threatened lawsuit.

 

On January 27, 220, the Company hired a Chief Financial Officer.

 

The Board of Directors declared a bonus to the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $150,000 each for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

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

 

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

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2019, the year-end period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

 

 

 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act, and assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

 

1.                 As of December 31, 2019, our controls over the control environment were not effective. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedure. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial experts as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

2.                 As of December 31, 2019, our controls over financial statement disclosure were not effective. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

3.                 Lack of formal documentation over internal control procedures and environment.

 

4.                 Lack of proper segregation of duties and multiple level of reviews.

 

5.                 Lack of expertise in accounting of derivative liabilities.

 

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the criteria established in “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 201 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

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

 

Code of Ethics

 

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

 

Compliance with Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act

 

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our Common Stock. Such Reporting Persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms we have received and representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Reporting Persons complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 except as stated below.

Indemnification

 

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

 

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