NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Sunstock, Inc. (“Sunstock” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 23, 2012, as Sandgate Acquisition Corporation, under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Sunstock may attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with Sunstock. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that Sunstock will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. Sunstock has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On July 18, 2013, the Company has changed itsits’ name from Sandgate Acquisition Corporation to Sunstock, Inc.

On July 18, 2013,the same date, Jason Chang and Dr. Ramnik S.S Clair were named as the directors of the Company.

 

On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build out a retail store which the Company opened in February 2014. The Company opened its second retail store in May 2014. On August 21, 2014 the first store was forced to close due to below code electrical wiring the landlord had provided. Perishable inventory at this store was relocated to the second store as nonperishables were moved into storage along with fixed assets. The Company’s second store was relocated in December of 2015 under lease running through June 2017 and operated on a month to month lease from then until the store was closed in September 2018. The Company currently operates no variety retail stores.

 

The Company plans to continue purchasing more precious metals in silver and currently searching for a hotel in the Central California are as their previous selection in escrow during the 4th quarter of 2017 did not close.

On October 22, 2018, Sunstock, Inc. acquired all assets and liabilities of Mom’s Silver Shop, Inc. of(the “Retail Store”) located in Sacramento, California. Included in the assets acquired was approximately $60,000 in precious metals inventory and approximately $13,000 in net fixtures. Also included were any licenses and permits, customer lists, logo, trade names, signs, and websites. Financing of the purchase was by $20,056 cash, $33,000 unsecured note payable with principle payments of $1,000 per week for 33 weeks starting January 1, 2019 with 4.5% annual interest accrued on the unpaid balance (total accrued interest due August 27, 2019), and the assumption of liabilities and lease obligations. Mom’s Silver Shop had unaudited net revenues of approximately $4,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, $4,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, $3,800,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, and $2,500,000 in 2018 to the date of acquisition. Mom’s Silver ShopThe Retail Store specializes in buying and selling gold, silver, and rare coins, and is one of the leading precious metals retailers in the greater Sacramento metropolitan area.

 

The Company’s business plan includes the buying, selling and distribution of precious metals, primarily gold. The Company pursues a “ground to coin” strategy, whereby it seeks to acquire mining assets as well as rights to purchase mining production and to sell these metals primarily through retail channels including their own branded coins. The company emphasizes investment in enduring assets that we believe may provide ‘resource to retail’ conversion upside. Our goal is to provide our shareholders with an exceptional opportunity to capture value in the precious metals sector without incurring many of the costs and risks associated with actual mining operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Suchaccompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements of Sunstock, Inc. were prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required for financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

The accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integritycondensed and objectivity. These accounting policies conform toconsolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019, has been derived from audited condensed and consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed and consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the opinion of management, all material respects, andadjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been consistently applied in preparingmade to the accompanyingcondensed and consolidated financial statements. The condensed and consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of all normal accruals) necessary to make the condensed and consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessary indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020 or any future periods.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by the Company’s management include realizability and valuation of inventories valuation of derivatives, and value of stock-based transactions.

 

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

 

INVENTORIES

 

COLLECTIBLE COINS – MOM’S SILVER SHOP

 

The Company acquired Mom’s Silver Shopthe Retail Store in October 2018 to enter the market for collectible coins. The Company acquires collectible coins from both companies and individuals and then marks them up for resale. The inventory is recorded at lower of cost or market.market or net realizable value. Inventory can fluctuate in relation to when it is purchased and when it is sold. Collectible coins inventory was $126,456$238,376 at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to $20,947$134,995 at December 31, 2018.2019.

 

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventory quantities on hand and on order and records a provision for excess quantities and obsolescence. Among other factors, the Company considers historical demand and forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence and net realizable value. In addition, the Company considers changes in the market value of components in determining the net realizable value of its inventory. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories.

 

PRECIOUS METALS AND COINS HELD FOR INVESTMENT - SUNSTOCK

 

Inventories of precious metals and coins held for investment at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 also include approximately $401,090$421,783 of gold and silver bullion and bullion coins and approximately $358,834$397,873 at December 31, 20182019 and are acquired and initially recorded at fair market value. Currently, the Company anticipates holding its precious metals as a long-term investment. Depending on market conditions, the Company anticipates holding its silver holdings until the market price exceeds $50 per ounce. Likewise, the Company does not plan to sell its gold holdings unless the market price exceeds $2,500 per ounce. The fair market value of the bullion and bullion coins is comprised of two components: 1) published market values attributable to the costs of the raw precious metal, and 2) a published premium paid at acquisition of the metal. The premium is attributable to the additional value of the product in its finished goods form and the market value attributable solely to the premium may be readily determined, as it is published by multiple reputable sources. The Company’s inventory is subsequently recorded at fair market values on a quarterly basis. The fair value of the inventory is determined using pricing and data derived from the markets on which the underlying commodities are traded. Precious metals commodities inventories are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company has continuously experienced a shortage of cash and has had significantly past due obligations. While the Company’s preference is to hold the silver bullion to achieve long-term gains, the bullion is available to pay current obligations should the Company not be able to raise cash through issuance of stock or notes payable. Thus, the Company believes that including the silver bullion in current assets under inventory is appropriate.

PRECIOUS METALS AND COINS HELD FOR INVESTMENT – SUNSTOCK (CONTINUED)

The change in fair value of the precious metals was included in the financial statements herein as recorded on the Company’s Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on investments in precious metals of $42,256$23,910 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and an unrealized loss on investments in precious metalsgain of $52,073$12,178 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.

2019.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Any leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash flow from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the fair value of the related asset. No impairment charges were incurred during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

On January 1, 2018, theThe Company adopted FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2019.The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance.

 

The Company’s principal activities from which it generates revenue are product sales. Revenue is measured based on considerations specified in a contract with a customer. A contract exists when it becomes a legally enforceable agreement with a customer. These contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Consideration is typically paid at time of sale via credit card, check, or cash when products are sold direct to consumers.

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product to the customer, which for the Company is transfer of a product to customers. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company has concluded the sale of product and related shipping and handling are accounted for as the single performance obligation.

 

The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. We do not issue refunds.

 

10

REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in a contract by transferring control over a product to a customer when product is shipped based on fulfillment by the Company.Company or when a point of sale transaction is completed. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of product sales. The Company does not accept returns.

 

10

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. The Company’s income tax provision consists of state minimum taxes.

The Company recognizes any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

There are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had $0 accrued for interest and penalties on each of the Company’s balance sheets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share represent income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock optionswarrants and have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020 because they would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, and 2018 andthere were 462,581,856 potentially dilutive shares that were included in the ninediluted earnings per share. For the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, and 2018, there were no potentially dilutive shares that were included in the diluted loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive foranti-dilutive.

For the years then ended.three months ended June 30, 2020 there were no potentially dilutive shares that were included in the diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 893,736,264 potentially dilutive shares that were included in the diluted earnings per share.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company measures the fair value of certain of its financial assets on a recurring basis. A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.liabilities, such as derivative liabilities in relation to the conversion feature of notes payable.

 

At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable.payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not posted operating income since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of approximately $65,800,000$60,454,626 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

 

These condensed and consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiatingnegotiate with an acquisition target.a business entity for the combination of that target company with the Company.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The condensed 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.

In the first quarter of 2020, outstanding convertible notes payable balances as of December 31, 2019, were either converted to common stock or paid off. In relation to that, the Company has had discussions with a third party in regards to raising funds through a private placement of equity which, if it occurs, will provide the Company with funds to expand its operations and likely eliminate the going concern issue.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)December 2019, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-07,2019-12, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based PaymentSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 718)740).. The amendments in the update expandsimplify the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactionsaccounting for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should applyincome taxes by removing the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). following exceptions:

1Exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income).
2Exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment.
3Exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary.
4Exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.

The amendments specify 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 operationsthe update also simplify the accounting for income taxes by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing todoing the issuer, or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. following:

1Requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax.
2Requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction.
3Specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements. However, an entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority.
4Requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.
5Making minor Codification improvements for income taxes relating to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for by using the equity method.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company believes that fiscal year. Adoptionadoption of the ASU didwill not have a material effect on the Company’sits financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11,Earnings Per Share; Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity; Derivatives and Hedging; Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. An entity will no longer have to consider “down round” features (i.e., a provision in an equity-linked financial instrument or an embedded feature that reduces the exercise price if the entity sells stock for a lower price or issues an equity-linked instrument with a lower exercise price) when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to its own stock. An entity that presents earnings per share (EPS) under ASC 260 will recognize the effect of a down round feature in a freestanding equity-classified financial instrument only when it is triggered. The effect of triggering such a feature will be recognized as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The new guidance will require new disclosures for financial instruments with down round features and other terms that change conversion or exercise prices. The ASU also replaces today’s indefinite deferral of the guidance in ASC 480-10 for certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests with a scope exception. The amendments in Part I of ASU 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, the amendments in Part II do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows; Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.The new standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The eight issues are: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned insurance policies; distribution received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Topic 606 addresses that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. When an entity is a principal (that is, if it controls the specific good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer) and satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specific good or service transferred to the customer. When an entity is an agent and satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specific good or service to be provided by the other party. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The primary impact to the financial position upon adoption was the recognition, on a discounted basis, of the minimum commitments on the balance sheet under our noncancelable operating lease resulting in the recording of a right of use asset and lease obligation.

 

The following table summarizes the impact of Topic 842 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet upon adoption on January 1, 2019:

NOTE 910 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company evaluates its debt instruments, or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40,Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at 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 or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

The Company applies the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.

 

From time to time, the Company has issued notes with embedded conversion features. Certain of the embedded conversion features contain price protection or anti-dilution features that result in these instruments being treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company has classified all conversion features as derivative liabilities. All convertible notes with derivative liabilities were either converted to common stock or were settled by payment as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019, and has estimated the fair value of these embedded conversion features using a binomial options pricing model with the following assumptions:2020.

Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.Going Concern

 

In analyzing prospective business opportunities, Sunstock may consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which may be anticipated; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed criteria is not meant to be restrictive of the virtually unlimited discretion of Sunstock to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.

These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

Going Concern

The Company has not posted operating income since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of approximately $65.8 million as of September 30, 2019. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.

 

These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiating with an acquisition target.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The condensed 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.

 

In the first quarter of 2020, outstanding convertible notes payable balances as of December 31, 2019, were either converted to common stock or paid off. In relation to that, the Company has had discussions with a third party in regards to raising funds through a private placement of equity which, if it occurs, will provide the Company with funds to expand its operations and likely eliminate the going concern issue.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies as previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

The Company generated revenues during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 of $2,003,302$2,478,688 as compared to $1,623$1,058,818 in revenues posted for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. The increase in revenues is due to increased business at Mom’s Silver Shop, which was acquired in October 2018.

 

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, cost of sales were $1,930,070was $2,437,421 and $974, respectively, which increase was driven by the increase in revenues as disclosed above. Professional fees decreased to $153,453 from $213,666 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $199,460 was due to decreased legal fees, offset by $70,986 in increased auditor fees $65,451 in increased consultant fees and $2,810 in other fees. Compensation increased to $1,751,220 from $99,877 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, primarily due to $1,747,500 for the fair value of common stock sold to the CEO and his parents below market value. Other operating expenses increased to $25,154 from $12,347 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest expense decreased to $59,957 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $4,048,053 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to $3,359,080 loan default interest expense in 2018. Other expense increased to $26,640 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to a court judgement above the amount previously recorded in regards to a note payable. Fair value of derivative liability increased $5,024,386 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to an increase of $14,471,995 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The unrealized gain on investments in precious metals of $30,078 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, is related to the increase in the market value of the underlying assets held as of September 30, 2019.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company posted a net loss of $6,937,500 as compared to a net loss of $18,880,477 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company’s officer, its president, conducted an evaluation ofJune 30, 2020, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 based on the criteria establishfor effective internal control over financial reporting established in the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Commission and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on thisthat evaluation, managementthey concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controlcontrols over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2019, based on those criteria.

Material Weaknesses:Weaknesses:

 

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.

 

The material weaknesses identified are:

 

1. Inadequate number of personnel that could accurately and timely record and report the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP;GAAP.

 

2. We did not employ an adequate number of people to ensure a control environment that would allow for the accurate and timely reporting of the financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)

 

3. Ineffective controls to ensure that the accounting for transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP financial statements;statements.

 

4. We have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives.

 

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we believe that the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Further, we do not believe the material weaknesses identified had an impact on prior financial statements.

 

Remediation:

 

As part of our ongoing remedial efforts, we have and will continue to, among other things:

 

1. ExpandedExpand our accounting policy and controls organization by recently hiring qualified accounting and finance personnel;

 

2. Increase our efforts to educate both our existing and expanded accounting policy and control organization on the application of the internal control structure;

 

3. Emphasize with management the importance of our internal control structure;

 

4. Seek outside consulting services where our existing accounting policy and control organization believes the complexity of the existing exceeds our internal capabilities; andcapabilities.

 

5. Plan to implement improved accounting systems.

 

We believe that the foregoing actions will improve our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures. WeWhen funds permit, we intend to perform such procedures and commit such resources as necessary to continue to allow us to overcome or mitigate these material weaknesses such that we can make timely and accurate quarterly and annual financial filings until such time as those material weaknesses are fully addressed and remediated.
