NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs.

 

You should read thoroughly this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 22, 2022, which risk factors could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by applicable law.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP, BLU3, SSI and LBI. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

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

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per EIN. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $22,70027,405 and $205,500, respectively in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

 

We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies, manage exchange rate volatility in the translation of foreign earnings, and reduce exposures to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The foreign currency forward hedging contracts outstanding as As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 have settlement dates within 6 months. The spot rate components of these foreign currency forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and any unrealized gains or losses are reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Income in the same periods during which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. If a hedging relationship is terminated with respect to a foreign currencyCompany closed out it’s only forward contract accumulated gains or losses associated with the contract remain in OCI until the hedged forecasted transaction occurs and are reclassifiedhas no further obligation relating to operations in the same periods during which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings.such.

Foreign currency forward contracts entered into to hedge cost of goods purchases were as follows as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Revenue Recognition

 

We account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments. This standards core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to receive.

 

We recognize the sale of products under single performance obligations upon shipment of the unitsproducts as that is when ownership is transferred and our performance is completed. Revenues from repair and maintenance activities is recognized when the repairs are completed and the unitsproducts have been shipped.

 

Lease Accounting

 

We account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. The lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations.

 

We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.

 

Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.

 

9

When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease for the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

 

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the lease expenses were approximately $64,50076,300 and $128,700205,000, respectively, and approximately $43,00039,000 and $78,000108,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively. Cash paid for operating liabilities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was approximately $128,400204,500 and approximately $32,90098,000 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year lease extension for the SSI lease in Huntington Beach, CA. This extension increased the operating asset and liability by approximately $897,300.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee and non-employee are required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record certain warrants and embedded conversion options at their fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into certain note agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, by earliest issuance date, in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors, as long as the certain variable issuance terms in certain convertible instruments exist.

Loss per common share

 

Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021, 245,847,251249,177,870 and 205,855,020245,297,740, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible notes, outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and the conversion of preferred stock.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

ASU 2016-13 Current Expected Credit Loss (ASC326)

 

In December 2021, the FASB issued and update to ASU No. 2016-13 the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard (ASC 326), which is designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by incorporating estimated, forward-looking data when measuring lifetime Estimated Credit Losses (ECL) and requires enhanced financial statement disclosures. This guidance is effective January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the changes from this standard to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosuresdisclosures.

ASU 2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption or are not applicable.

ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740)

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company determined that the standard has no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Note 3. Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $772,7541,056,944 of which $520,739894,453 is non-cash stock related compensation and shares issued for service. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,317,35915,601,548. Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $1,792,3091,983,868 at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The Company has previously been affected by temporary manufacturing closures and employment and compensation adjustments. The market continues to suffer from the impacts of the pandemic via supply chain shortages and freight delays. The continued freight delays have and will likely continue to result in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Additionally, increased demand for personal electronics has created a shortfall of microchip supply which are used in our battery powered products, and it is yet unknown how we may be impacted.

 

We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business as appropriate, and we will have to accurately project demand and infrastructure requirements globally and deploy our production, workforce and other resources accordingly.

Going Concern

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has net losses and an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $15,317,359$15,601,548 as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Despite a working capital surplus of $1,792,309$1,983,868 at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. We are continuing to engage in discussions with potential sources for additional capital, however, our ability to raise capital is somewhat limited based upon our revenue levels, net losses and limited market for our common stock. If we fail to raise additional funds when needed, or if we do not have sufficient cash flows from operations, we may be required to scale back or cease certain of our operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, and equity-based transactions. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

These recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluations as of the end of the period covered by this report,September 30, 2022, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and based upon the such evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weaknesses set forth below.

 

 Insufficient number and lack of qualified accounting department and administrative personnel and support;
   
 Insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;

 

 Insufficient segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of controls in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel;
   
 Company’s systems that impact financial information and disclosures have ineffective information technology controls;
   
 Inadequate controls surrounding revenue recognition, to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements are reflected and properly recorded; and
   
 Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures was not sufficiently comprehensive due to limited personnel.

38

 

Subject to sufficient resources, management expects to remediate the material weaknesses identified above as follows:

 

 Management has leveraged and will continue to leverage experienced consultants to assist with ongoing GAAP and SEC compliance requirements. We intend to expand our finance department through the hiring of a certified public accountant to strengthen the segregation of duties, internal controls and enhance our current staff.
   
 Segregation of duties is being analyzed and adjusted Company-wide, where possible. The Company is in the process of hiring additional personnel in the accounting department, as well as the documentation of controls and procedures.
   
 The Company plans on evaluating various accounting systems to enhance its system controls.

 

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added to our accounting and administrative staff allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that hashave materially affected or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
