CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this report may be "forward-looking statements."statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under "Risk Factors" and any risks described in any other filings we make with the SEC.SEC including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

These factors include, among others:

● current or future financial performance;
● management’s plans and objectives for future operations;
● uncertainties associated with product research and development;
● uncertainties associated with dependence upon the actions of government regulatory agencies;
● product plans and performance;
● management’s assessment of market factors; and
● statements regarding our strategy and plans.

We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this report and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this report. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of property and equipment, the allowance for doubtful accounts and stock based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of operationsOperations

 

Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is aan agricultural biotechnology company focused on commercializing technology derived from and designed for spaceflight with significant applications on Earth. These technologies are focused on improving world agriculture by providing valuable solutions to challenges facing humanity including threats to world agriculture and the ability to feed the world’s rapidly growing population.

 

The Company owns proprietary technology for its initial commercial product, BAM-FX™BAM-FX® that can boost the nutritional value and enhance the immune system of food crops without the use of Genetic Modification.genetic modification. The Company’s focus is the commercialization of BAM-FX™BAM-FX® in both domestic and international markets. The Company’s headquarters are located in Boca Raton, Florida. 

 

The Company operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries: BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc. a Florida corporation (“BAM”), which was formed in 2014, and Specialty Agricultural Solutions, Inc. (“SASI”), which was formed in 2018 and began operations in 2019. The Company owns 98% of SASI.

Another subsidiary of the Company, Zero Gravity Life Sciences, Inc., botha Florida corporationscorporation (“ZGLS”), was formed by the Company in 2014. ZGLS is currently inactive.

The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company furloughed all employees other than the three executive officers to the COVID-19 impact on its operation capability. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 the company began to remove certain employees from furlough that are key to ongoing operations. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on the business if disruptions or delays in shipments of product occur. To date, the Company has experienced product shipment delays due to import restrictions imposed by countries in which the Company had customer purchase commitments. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for product and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. 

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plans 

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlements of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has a working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2018,2019, and a net loss from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities for the quarterthree months then ended. At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $44,000,$3,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $(1,186,000),$(4,364,000) and had anet loss from operations of approximately $(1,577,000)$(1,231,000), and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $(1,057,000)$(643,000) for the quarter then ended.three months ended March 31, 2019. To date, the Company has relied on equity financing and has entered into related and non-related party promissory notes to fund its operations. The Company has also issued stock-based compensation in exchange for services. Although the Company intends to raise additional capital, the Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term and these losses could be significant as product development, regulatory, contract research, and technical marketing personnel related expenses are incurred. Management has evaluated its ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these March 31, 2018 unauditedinterim, condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, and has determined that there is substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has satisfied its obligations using cash from successful capital raising efforts through March 31, 2018,2019; however, there are no assurances that such successful efforts will continue for up to a year after these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. TheThese interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has executed product distribution agreements with domestic and international commercial agricultural distributors and generated initial product orders. Additional technical and marketing effortefforts must be devoted to those distributors to insureensure the product is properly utilized and validated by end users. To fund these capital needs, the Company has and continues to raise capital through a private placement offeringsoffering in connection with its investment banker and through its internal efforts, as well as raising funds through issuances of debt. Subsequent to March 31, 2018,2019, the Company has raised approximately $2,350,000 in debt financing and approximately $745,000 through the sale of common stock$3,824,000 (Note 7). If the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company would potentiallywill be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional capital financing and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels. 

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

Continuing to advance commercialization of the Company’s principal product, BAM-FX™ in both domestic and international markets;
Pursuing additional capital raising opportunities;
Continuing to explore and execute prospective partnering or distribution opportunities; and
Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive cash flow.

The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.



Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the periodyear ended December 31, 20172018 as filed with the SEC on August 13, 2018.October 17, 2019. The December 31, 20172018 balance sheet is derived from those statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of theaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformityaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, amortization period and recoverability of intangible assets, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company views its operations and manages its business as one reportable segment. As a result, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented within relate to our principal operating segment.  Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-ownedmajority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of inventory of $9,704. During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company recorded an impairment of inventory of $32,084. These were included in Costs of Sales.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASCAccounting Standards Codification Topic (“ ASC”) 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  This guidance requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be 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 measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Intellectual Property

The Company reviewed its intellectual property for impairment and determined that it had no recoverable value. $10,210 was recorded as impairment cost for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company believes that its credit risk exposure is limited. The Company has never suffered a loss due to funds in excess balances.of FDIC limits and had no funds held in excess of FDIC limits at March 31, 2019.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic (ASC) (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

 

 

 

Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions.  Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.  In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Such determination requires significant management judgment. 

 

As the Company'sCompany’s common stock is not traded in an active market, the Company estimates the fair value of its common stock (used in its Black Scholes option pricing model) pursuant to ASC 820. This estimation process maximizes the use of observable inputs, including the quoted price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock in an inactive market, the price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock determined in connection with transactions in the Company'sCompany’s common stock, and an income approach to valuation (a discounted cash flow technique that considers the future cash flows).

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value due to their short period to maturity and their stated interest rates, combined with historic interest rate levels. 

 

Revenue recognition and accounts receivableAccounting for Derivatives

 

WeThe Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on extinguishment.  Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

The company has adopted FASB ASU 2017-11, which simplifies the accounting for certain equity-linked financial instruments and embedded features with down round features that reduce the exercise price when the pricing of a future round of financing is lower. This allows the company to treat such instruments or their embedded features as equity instead of considering them as a derivative. If such a feature is triggered the value is measured pre-trigger and post-trigger. The difference in these two measurements is treated as a dividend, reducing income. The value recognized as a dividend is not subsequently remeasured, but in instances where the feature is triggered multiple times each instance is recognized.

Advertising

The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products and services. In accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs,” advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, such amounts aggregated $36,110 and $1,897, respectively.

Accounting for Leases

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The main difference between the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and previous GAAP is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This ASU is effective for public business entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company's adoption January 1, 2019, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Legal Expenses

All legal costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options

The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which may contain fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion and records the premium to interest expense on the note issuance date.

Debt Issue Cost

Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable:

Effective January 1, 2018 (date of adoption), we recognize revenues from the sale of agricultural biotechnology products to distributors and customers pursuant to the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition”From Contracts With Customers”.

We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

When amountsRevenues for agricultural chemical products are recognized when title to the products is transferred which may be upon shipment to the customer or receipt by the customer of the product. This satisfies the performance obligation on which we earn the transaction price. There was no cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees they are included in net sales, and the related costs incurred by the company for the delivery of invoiced goods are classified as cost of goods sold in our Statements of Operations.

 

The Company determined that no reserve for estimated product returns and allowances was necessary during the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Determination of the reserve for estimated product returns and allowances is based on management's analyses and judgments regarding certain conditions. Should future changes in conditions prove management's conclusions and judgments on previous analyses to be incorrect, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be materially affected.

 

At The Company did not have accounts receivable outstanding at March 31, 2019. At December 31, 2018, two customers accounted for 100% of total accounts receivable. Eachreceivable representing 78.1%, and 21.9%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 97% of these customers represented 85.8%, and 14.2%, respectively.net sales. During the period ended March 31, 2018, two customers accounted for 100% of net sales, 75%75.0% and 25%25.0%, respectively. 0% of sales for the quarter were to customers outside of the U.S.

At December 31, 2017, three customers accounted for 100% of total accounts receivable. Each of these three customers represented 46.5%,34.9% and 18.6%, respectively. During the period ended March 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 22.8% of net sales.

 

The Company extends credit to customers generally without requiring collateral. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the accounts receivable balance will not be collected. When estimating the allowance, the Company takes into consideration such factors as its day-to-day knowledge of the financial position of specific clients, and the industry and size of its clients. The allowancebad debt expense for doubtful accounts as of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $342 and December 31, 2017 was $0 and $32,663,$4,060, respectively.

Cost of salesSales

 

Cost of sales is comprised of material costs, invoiced shipping costs and royalty expense.  

 

Warrants

 

The Company recognizes the cost of warrants issued with debt as debt discount in the consolidated financial statements which is recorded at the warrants relative fair value which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of each warrant at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Stock based compensationBased Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.model using the simplified method to determine the term.

  

Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. The expense resulting from employee and share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in 2018the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.

 

The Company also grants share-based compensation awards to non-employees for service provided to the Company. The Company measures and recognizes the fair value of such transactions based on the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU No 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. This guidance is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. The implementation did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Loss per Share

 

Loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments. The effect of the inclusion of the dilutive shares would have resulted in a decrease in loss per share. Accordingly, the weighted average shares outstanding have not been adjusted for dilutive shares. Outstanding warrants, stock options and convertible debt are not considered in the calculation as the impact of the potential common shares (totaling 13,550,332,16,206,685, shares and 14,044,84216,952,975 shares for the periodsthree months ended March 31, 2018 2019 and December 31, 2017, 2018, respectively), would be to decrease net loss per share.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Warranty Expense

 

The Company'sCompany’s distribution agreements provide for a warranty on products sold. As sales under such distribution agreements have been nominal through 2018during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2017,2018, there has been no warranty expense in 2018during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2017.2018. A provision for estimated future warranty costs is to be recorded as cost of sales when products are shipped, and warranty costs are to be based on historical trends in warranty charges as a percentage of gross product shipments. A resulting accrual is to be reviewed regularly and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in warranty cost estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in which 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 and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”FASB ASCs which has been further clarified and amended. The core principle of the new standard is for companiesare or were are not effective until after March 31, 2019 are not expected to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and clarify guidance for multiple-element arrangements. Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the Statement of Financial Position. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2017. The Company has finalized its assessment of ASC 606 and determined there will be no materialsignificant effect on ourthe Company’s consolidated financial position andor results of operations. The timing and amount of revenue recognized based on the new standard is consistent with the revenue recognition policy under previous guidance, however, certain additional financial statement disclosures will be required beginning with 2018 reporting, including additional disaggregated view of revenue. We have adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02,Leases. The main difference between the provisions of ASU No.2016-02 and previous U.S. GAAP is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. ASU No.2016- 02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous U.S. GAAP. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous U.S. GAAP. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This ASU is effective for public business entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company has not finalized the analysis to determine the effect of the standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the statement of operations.

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No.2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU No2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. This guidance is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1,2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”), which changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASU 2017-11 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, ASU 2017-11 requires entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.  Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features in ASC 470-20.  For the Company, ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts ASU 2017-11 in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period in either of the following ways: 1. Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which ASU 2017-11 is effective or 2. Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors advanced the Company $500,000$500,000 under a note payable for working capital purposes. The unsecured note payable bears interest at 8.5% per annum, is payable quarterly, and was originally due in July 2016. In connection with the note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3$3.00 per share. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrants at $416,618$416,618 utilizing the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions: expected dividends of 0%, volatility of 184.2%, risk free interest rate of 1.66% and expected life of 5 years. The relative fair value of the debt and warrants was recorded resulting in a debt discount of $227,258$227,258 upon execution of the agreement. In July 2016, the maturity date of the note was extended to July 2017, and a conversion feature was added. The conversion feature allows the holder to convert the debt into common shares at his option at a conversion price of $1.25$1.25 per share (400,000(400,000 shares). The addition of the conversion feature represented a substantial modification to the debt instrument but the modification was determined to not be material. During 2017,$42,500 was recorded as interest expense and $10,625 was included in payables at December 31, 2017. During 2017, the maturity date of the note was extended to July 2018 and then extended again in 2018 to July 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company recorded interest expense of $10,389 and $10,625 respectively on the note and it is recorded in accrued interest - related party.The note is included in the current liabilities section of the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. This note plus the accrued and unpaid interest was subsequently converted into Series A and B Notes. (See Note 7).

Fair value measures

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The accounting guidance established a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available.  This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.  An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis consisted of the following at March 31, 2019:

Stock incentive plan options

 

In November 2015, the Company adopted its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. The Plan provides stock based compensation to employees, directors and consultants, as more fully described in the Plan. The Company has reserved 4,000,000 shares under the Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 the Company granted options to purchase up to 25,000 shares of common stock, to an employee with an exercise price of $1.25 per share and a term of 10 years. The estimated fair value of $19,208 of the grants2,640,000 are still available for the three months ended March 31, 2108 was based upon the following management assumptions: For the period March 31, 2018, expected dividends of $0, volatility of 101.7% based on comparative volatility, risk free interest rates of 2.58%, and expected term of the options of 5 years.issuance.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option grants based on the fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As the Company does not currently have reliably determined historic stock prices, the Company uses management estimates of stock value. The Company uses historical data, among other factors, to estimate the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The Company estimates expected term considering factors such as historical exercise patterns and the recipients of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the option. The Company assumes an expected dividend yield of zero for all periods.  For employee, consultant and director stock based compensation, the Company used management's fair value estimates of $1.21 for the period March 31, 2018.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperation

 

Overview

 

Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company” or “ZGSI”), is aan agricultural based biotechnology company focused on commercializing technology derived from, and designed for, long term spaceflight and planetary colonization with significant applications to agriculture on Earth. These technologies areearth. The Company’s technology is focused on improving world agriculture by providing valuable solutions to challenges facing humanity, including climate change stress and soil degradation threats to world agricultureagricultural production and the abilityincreasing inability to feed the world’s rapidly growing population. The Company’s business model is currently focused on oneits primary business, generating revenue from agricultural application of BAM-FX™technology, BAM-FX®, which is a cost effective, micro-nutrientionic delivery platform and stimulant for plants that efficiently deliverspromotes the delivery of minerals and micro-nutrients to plants.  The Company's secondary business, Directed Selection™, relates to the production and alteration of new varieties of novel stem cells with unique and beneficial characteristics in the prolonged zero/micro gravity environment of the ISS. These novel stem cells, if developed, could be patented for commercial sale to third parties in the agricultural and human regenerative medical markets.micronutrients systemically. ZGSI is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

 

Our business activities are separated between two primaryconducted in our wholly owned subsidiaries.subsidiary, BAM Agricultural Solutions, Inc., (“BAM Inc.BAM.”) and our 98% owned subsidiary, Specialty Agricultural Solutions, Inc. (“SASI”). BAM oversees product development,BAM-FX®’s commercial introduction and business development through in-fieldproduct trials and validation tests with crop growers and channel partners, product analysis through academic institutions and NASA,distributors that have established business networks in agricultural markets, manufacturing, and sale ofsales and agronomy supportsupport. In addition, BAM manages the introduction of Gardener’s Choice®, a ready to use product for our BAM-FX™ product.the home and garden retail markets. SASI, which was incorporated in 2018, supports introducing a commercial product for sale to hydroponic legal cannabis and hemp grow operations. Another subsidiary of the Company, Zero Gravity Life Sciences Inc. (“ZGLS”) is expected to be responsible, was originally formed for any future space research projects, life science applications of our technology and conducting research on future BAM Inc. product lines. ZGLS is currently inactive. 

 

The Company is focused on near-term revenue generation through the introductionsale of the Company’s first commercial product, BAM-FX™BAM-FX®, toin domestic and international agricultural markets. BAM-FX™BAM-FX® is licensed in and registered for sale as a fertilizer application with forty-five (45)in all fifty (50) domestic states and has been approved for import and commercial sales in Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, Brazil and China. The Company is also pursuing import approval through proper governmental officials and agencies to begin commercial sales in Haiti, Philippines and India. InternationalPursuant to a license and business development agreement with Agro Space Tech SA de CV de RV, the Company is providing technical assistance to obtain approval in Mexico. Country specific commercial operations are conducted throughonly undertaken with a qualified local business partner having existing in-country established businesses with whichbusiness relationships. Our business relationship is either a license or a distribution agreement has been executed.agreement.

 

The Company began domestic product trials on multiple crops in laboratory and academic settings as well as in field applications on grower/end-user crops during 2014 and expanded field applications with those and additional trial participants in subsequent years. OurThese basic trials show significantshowed yield, nutritional value and biomass improvements for crops treated. The Company also noted a early indications of a curative response to fungal, bacterial and viral plant diseases. We continue to use validation trials with growers to increase our understanding of the mode of action, application rates and protocols for our product and showvalidate product efficacy. These trials are critical in both market and product development.development efforts. During the past fourfive years, the Company increasingly focused on obtaining third-party validated results,validation, through studies with academic institutions and NASA, in accordance with the Company’s SAA.Reimbursable Space Act Agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center.

During 2016,
The agricultural industry is known to adopt new technology slowly. The Company believes that slow adoption and sales results is due to the Company’s inability to sufficiently differentiate its product from other products making similar claims. Additionally, in a number of row crops, the product combined with application costs, have not resulted in sufficient grower return, especially those crops whose ex-farm pricing is low. Therefore, the Company shifted domestictargeted high value crops including grape, avocado, citrus, berry and hemp and for specific validation trials during 2019. Based upon BAM-FX®’s performance in these trials, the Company expects to focus business development efforts from a direct to grower approach to developing business relationships with channel partners, in general, large agricultural product distributors with which the Company executed a distribution agreement. Three distribution agreements with agricultural product distributors in Ohio and California were signedthese high value crops during 2016 with three additional in2020.

During 2017, expanding into Pennsylvania. These efforts have had limited success domestically, due to limited third party crop data from USDA agricultural extension or affiliated universities to support crop yield and performance predictability, combined economic factors including product pricing and risk aversion which, in some instances, did not result in sufficient return on investment for channel partners or growers, and slow adoption practices found within the agricultural industry. We believe slow adoption by channel partners is due to their perceived commitment risk based upon the Company’s lack of adequate capital and capital reserves to address long term operations and sustainability.

The Company began to see limited success penetrating domestic and international markets during 2017. Domestically, the agronomy team conducted in excess of one hundred and fifty grower trials to replicate positive results from prior years using established product protocols and to refine product protocols on a variety of crops in addition to a number of third party validated trials. We believe a number of growers and channel partners will place product orders during the fourth quarter of 2018 as BAM-FX™ gains a market foothold in California, Texas, Iowa, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. International trials were conducted in China, India, Paraguay, Colombia, Brazil and Chile during 2017. We believe positive results in soybean in Paraguay could generate revenue in 2018 through a channel partner in Paraguay. We expect to begin generating revenue in other countries during 2018 as a result of our 2017 trial results and expected positive results from trials in 2018.  Our ability to sell in international markets is dependent upon obtaining government approval for commercial import and sale in country and developing and maintaining strong working relationships with distributors in those countries.

Wewe developed a ready to use, home and garden product, Gardener’s Choice, during 2017Choice® for retail markets. Independent third parties successfully tested Gardener’s ChoiceChoice®, for plant performance and consumer safety during 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company showcased the product concept at a home and garden trade show and generated significant interest from prospective purchasers. During the first quarter of 2018, the Companythrough an independent sales team who introduced Gardener’s ChoiceChoice® directly to Ace Hardware retailers at their annual trade show.show and expanded product introduction to a number of big box retailers during 2019. We have received positive feedback from retailers, and expect to securehowever have secured limited purchase commitments during the first quarter or 2019, the time of the year during which retailers purchase and display product for the product during the fourth quarter of 2018.

We believe we will obtain state registrationoutdoor home and garden season. Gardener’s Choice® has been registered for sale in all states, complete promotional material for Gardener’s Choice and have product available for distribution during the fourth quarter of 2018.domestic states.

 

To support commercialization and revenue generation efforts, the Company employs certified crop advisors and agronomists for the technical requirements of product introduction domestically and internationally. Reductions in our consulting agronomy staff occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 due to curtailed operations in Chile, domestically due to our focus on specific geographies in Texas, California and the Midwest and targeted high value crops.

We received these results of third party tests during the first quarter of 2016, the Company executed a new five-year SAA with NASA ARC. The SAA gives the Company access to NASA scientists and laboratories, which assist in identifying and documenting additional attributes of the Company’s science and potential applications in other segments of agricultural markets. We continued working with NASA ARC through the second quarter of 2017, however have not funded additional research pursuant to the SAA due to lack of adequate resources. We maintain our relationship with researchers and specialists and expect to continue research when resources are available.2020.

 

The Company manufactures its product in a manufacturing facility in Okeechobee, Florida. Manufacturing is conducted on an as-needed batch process. The Company continually performs regulatory and process efficiency reviews of manufacturing operations. Our manufacturing plant manager is an experienced biochemical engineer. We have made process improvements and equipment modifications to existing equipment to enhance efficiencies and improve quality control and assurance thoughthrough March 31, 2018. Our process improvements more closely align production with a continuous flow production process. The Company expects to engineer, design and build a scale model of a continuous flow process manufacturing facility during 2019 given financial resources are available.

We began developing new formulations of BAM-FX™ to address nutritional needs of plants that are additive to our product’s current zinc and copper formulation in 2015. New formulations can include boron, manganese, magnesium and iron, which address known plant deficiencies. We believe formulations can be manufactured to include all or numerous combinations of these elements. Certain new formulations have been laboratory tested and these tests confirmed the ability to combine those elements.  Testing the efficacy of these formulations on field crops is expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2018.2019.

 

We successfully tested a dry product formulation, which maintains the attributes of our product, during 2017. Ifliquid product. Initial trials indicate the dry formulation produceshas the same efficacy as BAM-FX™BAM-FX®, aour concentrated liquid product. Introduction of a dry product will reduce transportation and handling costs would be reduced significantly and we believe we couldwill increase our addressable markets due tothose lower cost to purchasers.transportation related costs We expect to continue developing new formulations and our dry formulationsformulation in a laboratory setting, begin to performsettings, conclude our efficacy trials with Iowa State University, and design a scale production process for the dry formulated product during the fourth quarter of 2018, with the intent of adding a number of new specialized products to our current product offering.2020.

 

Although we have started and realized nominal product sales, we anticipate that in the near term, ongoing expenses, including product development, manufacturing process improvement, corporate administration and technical product support, will be funded primarily by proceeds from sales of our securities and debt.

On February 27, 2015, we closed a private offering that commenced in March 2013 and raised gross proceedsissuance of $4,448,297 of which $1,253,800 was received during 2015. During May 2015, we began a second offering from which, as of December 31, 2015, we received $4,542,500 in gross proceeds. Direct offering costs relating to these offerings were $536,250 as of December 31, 2015. During 2016, we received an additional $1,717,500 in gross proceeds from this offering.

During 2016, the Company commenced a private offering of up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s securities consisting of 3,333,333 common shares for $3.00 per common share. Proceeds from the offering were $665,001 with offering costs of $53,200 as of December 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, proceeds from the offering were $166,002 with offering costs of $1,680.  debt.

 

We have generated nominal revenues from our operations thus far and expect thatbelieve with the financial ability to promote and market, product sales will increase significantly in 20182020 primarily from direct sales to end users domestic and international channel partners’ distribution efforts, initial revenues from our retail product, Gardner’s Choice and introduction of product into specialty crop markets.distributor purchases.

 

We cannot, however, guarantee we will be successful in generating significant revenue in 20182019 or 2020 or in the execution of our business strategy. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. To become profitable and competitive, we must raise additional capital to execute our 20182019 business plan and realize revenues expected.

 

The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company furloughed all employees other than three executive officers due to the COVID-19 impact on its operation capability. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 the company began to remove certain employees from furlough that are key to ongoing operations. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on the business if disruptions or delays in shipments of product occur. To date, the Company has experienced product shipment delays due to import restrictions imposed by countries in which the Company had customer purchase commitments. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for product and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Consolidated Financial Statements contains a description of the accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as well as the consideration of recently issued accounting standards and the estimated impact these standards will have on our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition and stock-based compensation.basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

We define a critical accounting policy or estimate as one that is both important to our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates about matters that are uncertain. We believe that the following are the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, there are other items within our Consolidated Financial Statements that require estimates but are not deemed critical as defined in this paragraph.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC 606 we consider persuasive evidence of an arrangement to be a signed agreement, a binding contract with the customer or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which products are sold. We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This recognition generally occurs when the product is shipped to or received by the customer.

 

Going Concern

 

We adopted FASB ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern, during the first quarter of 2016.  This standard defines management’s responsibility to evaluate conditions or events as related to uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures, as applicable.  Management’s estimates and assumptions, used in the evaluation of our ability to meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date our financial statements are issued, are based on the facts and circumstances at such date and are subject to a material and high level of subjectivity and uncertainty due to the matters themselves being uncertain and subject to modification. The effect of any individual or aggregate changes in the estimates and assumptions, or the facts and circumstances, could be material to the financial statements. We have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, but do not include any adjustments that might result if we were unable to do so.

 

Employee Stock-Based Compensation and Share-Based payment to non-employees

 

We measure employee and non-employee compensation expense for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest.

 

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value for stock option awards and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the awards'awards’ vesting periods.periods for employees and over the service period for non-employees. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by our estimated common stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously. In valuing our options, we make assumptions about risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility and weighted-average expected lives, including estimated forfeiture rates, of the options.

 

As the Company'sCompany’s common stock is not traded in an active market, the Company estimates the fair value of its common stock (used in its Black Scholes option pricing model) pursuant to ASC 820. This estimation process maximizes the use of observable inputs, including the quoted price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock in an inactive market, the price of the Company'sCompany’s common stock determined in connection with transactions in the Company'sCompany’s common stock, and an income approach to valuation (discounted cash flow).

Table of Contents

 

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, which determine the fair value of stock-based awards. These assumptions include:

 

 

Risk-free rate. Risk-free interest rates are derived from U.S. Treasury securities as of the option grant date.

 

 

Expected dividend yields. Expected dividend yields are based on our historical dividend payments, which have been zero to date.

 

 

Volatility. Because we have a limited trading history as a public company, we estimate volatility of our share price based on a combination of the published historical volatilities of comparable publicly-tradedpublicly traded companies in our vertical markets and the historical volatility of our common stock.

 

 

Expected term. We estimate the weighted-average expected life of the options as 5 years.

 

 

Forfeiture rate. Forfeiture rates are estimated using historical actual forfeiture trends as well as our judgment of future forfeitures. These rates are evaluated at least annually and any change in compensation expense is recognized in the period of the change. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment and, to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the types of awards and employee class. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from management's current estimates.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Any stock options or warrants issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in shareholders' deficit over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options or warrants at the end of each period.

Revenue for the periodthree months ended March 31, 20182019 was $3,470,$44,495, an increase of $3,215,$41,025, or 1,260.8%1,182% over $255$3,470 for the periodthree months ended March 31, 2017.2018. Revenue is generated from sales to distributors of agricultural products and to growers who have completed trials in multiple crop-growing seasons with positive crop attributes from applying BAM-FX™BAM-FX® to their crops. In general, growers are sensitive to perceived usage risks and any incremental cost associated with new agricultural products, generally continuing their use of traditional lower cost but less effective chelated zinc and copper products. The Company addressed its product pricing in 2017 and adjusted wholesale and retail prices during the first quarter of 2018 to provide growers a more compelling return on their product purchase.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $633,000 tofor the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $602,000, a decrease of approximately $485,000, or 57.5%, over $1,088,000 for the periodthree months ended March 31, 2018 from $1,721,000 for the period ended March 31, 2017.2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company expects to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. Specifically, we estimate that the costs associated with the execution of our 20182019 and 2020 business planplans may exceed $350,000 per month. This expense rate is primarily due to: an increase in costs of additional personnel, personnel-related costs and promotional expenses to develop markets for domestic and international sales of our product, BAM-FX™BAM-FX®, our retail product, Gardner’sGardener’s Choice®, and our cannabis market product introduction; improvements to our manufacturing facility and processes; and, research and product development related expense for expansion of our product line, product improvement and dry formulation. The Company has evaluated its ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issue date of the March 31, 20182019 consolidated financial statements.  There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as we do not currently have the funding necessary to support the projected operating costs we expect to be needed to operate the business through mid-2018.mid-2020. The Company is active in its fundraising, and subsequent to March 31, 2018,2019, the Company has raised $2,350,000.approximately $3,600,000.

 

We filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC that became effective in February 2015, which requires us to operate as a fully reporting public company. We expect to continue to incur additional personnel and professional costs associated with operating as a fully reporting public company. Accordingly, we have acknowledged the need to obtain additional funding to operate the Company and have continued to raise funds through a private offering.

Adequate additional financing may not be realized from our private offering or otherwise may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

  

Cash on Hand

 

As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $44,000$3,000 compared to a cash balance of approximately $14,000$44,000 as of December 31, 2017.2018.

 

Total assets were approximately $394,000$517,000 and $740,000$552,000 at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. Working capital (deficit) was $(1,186,000)$(4,364,000) and $(1,225,000)$(2,691,000) at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The decreaseincrease in working capital deficit of $39,000$1,673,000 during the period was primarily due to cash used in operating activities of $1,057,000$640,000 offset by cash provided by financing activities of $1,088,000.$600,000 and reclassification of notes payable to short term. Total stockholders’ deficit increased by $1,213,000$1,135,000 to $(3,182,000)$(6,131,000) at March 31, 20182019 from $(1,969,000)$(5,096,000) at December 31, 2017.2018.

 

Outlook

 

Required Capital Over the Next YearGoing Forward

 

Due to the fact that our product, BAM-FX™BAM-FX®, is new in the agricultural markets, it is difficult to accurately predict revenues and cash flow at this time. We required additional funding to cover 2019 expenses and we will need additional funding to cover 2018 expenses.

Without consideration of any revenue or additional fundraising, at the Company’s current rate of expenditure, we expect that our current capital will not be sufficient to cover our future operating costs for twelve months.

The sales cycle for our product BAM-FX™ in agriculture markets is generally two to three growing seasons. We have completed our second season and with certain growers, our third season, of validation and testing as a commercial product and believe that positive trial results on growers’ crops have contributed to product awareness. However, as important as the positive trial results are, third-party validation of the product’s performance and scientific proof of the product’s mode of action are equally important to our channel partners in their purchasing decisions. The scientific studies, which were undertaken in 2016, are expected to continue during 2018. We believe that the combination of validation, testing and technical studies carried out over the past years will lead to revenue generation and growth in 2018.
