Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 20192020

 

Note 1 – NatureNOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “registrant,” “Banner Energy”, and the Business“Company” refer to Banner Energy Services, Corp., a Nevada corporation. On November 18, 2019, the Company merged with Banner Midstream Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Banner Midstream”). Banner Midstream had two operating subsidiaries: Pinnacle Frac Transport LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Pinnacle Frac”) and Capstone Equipment Leasing LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Capstone”) as of November 18, 2019.

Entry into Merger Agreement; Creation of Merger Subsidiary; Closing Conditions for Merger

 

The terms "we," "us," "our," "registrant,"On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) by and among the "Company" refer to Mount Tam Biotechnologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation,Company, Banner Midstream and where applicable, Mount Tam Biotechnologies,MTB Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary ("Mount Tam"of the Company (“Merger Sub”), relating to a merger (the “Merger”) between Banner Midstream and Merger Sub. The closing of the Merger was conditioned on the satisfaction of certain conditions by the various parties, as discussed in more detail below.

In anticipation of the Agreement, on September 23, 2019, the Company formed Merger Sub.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Merger Sub was merged with and into Banner Midstream, with Banner Midstream being the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”). The outstanding shares of Banner Midstream prior to the Merger were converted into the right to receive shares of the Company, on a one-share-for-one-share basis. The shares of Merger Sub owned by the Company were converted into shares of the Surviving Entity, pursuant to which the Surviving Entity will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The directors and officers of Banner Midstream prior to the closing of the Merger remained the directors and officers of the Surviving Entity following the closing of the Merger. The Merger with Banner Midstream represents a reverse merger, and in accordance with the reverse merger, Banner Midstream is the accounting acquirer and the historical amounts presented prior to the Merger are those of Banner Midstream. The shareholders of Banner Midstream received shares equal to 90% of the outstanding stock of Banner Energy following the Merger.

The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effectuate a 1-for-95 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective November 14, 2019. As a result of the Reverse Split, all share and per share figures contained in the financial statements have been amended to reflect the Reverse Split for the periods presented.

Additionally, immediately following the closing of the Merger, the Company and its secured debt holders finalized an agreement whereby the debt holders took possession of the Company’s biotechnology assets and assumed certain other Company obligations in lieu of payment by the Company of the amounts due in the secured debt instruments.

On March 27, 2020, Banner Midstream was acquired by Ecoark Holdings, Inc., (“Ecoark”) pursuant a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2020 (the “Banner Purchase Agreement”), between Ecoark and Banner Energy.

History

Prior to the Merger with Banner Midstream, the Company was an early-stage life sciences and technology company pursuing the development of bio-pharmaceuticals to treat autoimmune diseases. The Company intends to optimize and bring to market a portfolio of products focused on improving the health and wellbeing of individuals afflicted with autoimmune diseases. The Company is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, and may go to market both vertically and horizontally by product/technology specialties and provide our customers with treatment options.

On August 13, 2015, Mount Tam entered into a Share Exchange and Conversion Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the Company and certain other persons party thereto. Immediately following the effective time of the Exchange Agreement, Mount Tam's stockholders (as of immediately prior to the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (such transactions, the "Share Exchange")) owned approximately 57.14% of the Company's outstanding common stock and the Company's stockholders (as of immediately prior to the Share Exchange) owned approximately 42.86% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Additionally, following the Share Exchange, the business conducted by Mount Tam became the primary the business conducted by the Company.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Mount Tam became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. However, the former stockholders of Mount Tam acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.  In connection with the Share Exchange, a former shareholder of the Company agreed to surrender all of his shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $30,000, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Epicurean Cigars, Inc.,diseases, which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which had a nominal remaining net liability. The shares were returned to the Company, and the $30,000 due to the shareholder has been accruedknown as of December 31, 2015.

Effective on August 31, 2015, the Company changed its name from TabacaleraYsidron, Inc. to Mount TAM Biotechnologies, Inc.  The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of Mount TAM Biotechnologies, Inc., our wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary which we formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation.  With the exception of the name change, there were no changes to the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. There will be no mandatory exchange of stock certificates. The Company's trading symbol on the OTC Markets (OTC Pink) marketplace was changed to "MNTM" from "TQBY".

Mount Tam Biotechnologies, Inc., the Company's wholly-owned legal subsidiary, was the "accounting acquirer," and for accounting purposes, the TYI was deemed as having been "acquired" in the Merger.  The board of directors and officers that managed and operated Mount Tam immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the Company's board of directors and officers.

To meet its business objectives, Mount Tam formed a strategic partnership with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging ("Buck Institute"), an independent research facility focused on understanding the connection between aging and chronic disease. As part of the partnership, Mount Tam signed an exclusive worldwide licensing and collaboration agreement with the Buck Institute that includes many of the Buck Institute's intangible research and development assets in the area of autoimmune disorders. The initial focus of Mount Tam's research and development efforts will be a pre-clinical stage compound for the treatment and diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, a common form of lupus. Mount Tam has not produced any revenues from the intangible research and development assets it acquired from Buck Institute and it has not commenced its planned principal operations.

The production and marketing of the Company's products and its ongoing research and development activities will be subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States. Prior to marketing in the United States, any drug developed by the Company must undergo rigorous preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the Food and Drug Administration under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In addition, the Company's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain and maintain patents, exploit its product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, all of which have a year end of December 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. GAAP 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for uncollectible accounts receivable, fair value of assets held for sale and assets and liabilities acquired, impaired value of equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, estimates of discount rates in lease, liabilities to accrue, cost incurred in the satisfaction of performance obligations, permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes and determination of the fair value of stock awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


F-Acquisition Accounting6



Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income taxThe Company’s acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting whereby purchase price is allocated to tangible and intangible assets accrued expenses,acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The excess of the fair value of equity instrumentsthe consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the fair value of the consideration conveyed is recorded as a nonoperating gain on acquisition. The statements of operations for the periods presented include the results of operations for each of the acquisitions from the date of acquisition. See NOTE 7 –ACQUISITION.

Property and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.Equipment and Long-Lived Assets

 

CashProperty and Cash Equivalentsequipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, of ten years for all property and equipment, except leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the term f the lease, which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.

ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturityreviews recoverability of three months or lesslong-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to be cash equivalents. Therecover the carrying value of those investments approximates theirits long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair market value due to their short maturity and liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amount on deposit with financial institutions, which amounts may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and it does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $34,024 and $57,641, respectively.  Cash balances held in financial institution are below the federally insured limits.assets.

 

Research and DevelopmentASC 360-10 addresses criteria to be considered for long-lived assets expected to be disposed of by sale. Six criteria are listed in ASC 360-10-45-9 that must be met in order for assets to be classified as held for sale. Once the criteria are met, long-lived assets classified as held for sale are to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic (“ASC”) 730-10, “Researchassesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

1.Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2.Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and Development,”the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in which researchthe current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and development costs are charged toin projecting cash flows. The Company tested the statementcarrying value of operations as incurred.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share$525,693 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The Company computes earnings per share under ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) during the reporting periods. Diluted loss per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted average number of additional shares that could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock (using the “treasury stock” method), unless their effect on net loss per share is anti-dilutive.Accrued ExpensesThe Company had potentially dilutive securities totaling approximately 6,354,616 as of March 31, 2019. 

 

Accounts PayableTo prepare its financial statements, the Company estimates accrued expenses. The accrual process involves reviewing open contracts, communicating with personnel to identify services that have been performed on behalf of the Company and Accrued Liabilitiesestimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when the Company has not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost. The Company makes estimates of accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to the Company at that time. Although the Company does not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, if the estimates of the status and timing of services performed differs from the actual status and timing of services performed, the Company may report amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. Historically, the estimated accrued liabilities have approximated actual expenses incurred. Subsequent changes in estimates may result in a material change in the accruals.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and enhancesexpands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value measurement disclosure.

ASC 825 defines fairon either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the priceamount that would be received from sellingto sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining theparticipants. As such, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted tois a market-based measurement that should be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considersdetermined based on assumptions that market participants would use whenin pricing thean asset or liability,liability. As a basis for considering such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, that requires an entity to maximizewhich prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs whenused in measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilitiesin active markets.

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets to which we have access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 -3: Unobservable inputs forin which there is little or no market data, which require the asset or liability.reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Investments

The Company measures their investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss) pursuant to ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall”.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has been approved and committed to, each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred have been identified, the payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is based upon the lowest levelprobable. Revenue is generally recognized net of input that is significantallowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value measurement.for each of the elements.

 

ForRevenue under master service agreements is recorded upon the three months ended March 31, 2019performance obligation being satisfied. Typically, the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs upon the frac sand load being delivered to the customer site and this load being successfully invoiced and accepted by the Company’s factoring agent.

The Company accounts for contract costs in accordance with ASC Topic 340-40, Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes the cost of sales of a contract as expense when incurred or at the time a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes an asset from the costs to fulfil a contract only if the costs relate directly to a contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying a performance obligation in the future and the costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized unless the costs would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained.

Cost of sales for Pinnacle Frac includes all direct expenses incurred to produce the revenue for the period. This includes, but is not limited to, direct employee labor, direct contract labor and fuel.

Share-Based Payment Arrangements

The Company has determinedaccounted for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718”). This guidance addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued to employees and non-employees under free-standing arrangements. These awards are recorded at costs that there we no assets or liabilitiesare measured at fair value on a recurring basis.the awards’ grant dates, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in charges to operations.

 

F-9

Leases

The Company followed ASC 840 Leases in accounting for leased properties until 2019 when it adopted ASC 842 for its accounting for finance and operating leases in 2019. The Company leases office and production facilities for terms typically ranging from three to five years. Rent escalations over the term of a lease are considered at the inception of the lease such that the monthly average for all payments is recorded as straight-line rent expense with any differences recorded in accrued liabilities.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented, so only basic weighted average number of common shares are used in the computations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Going Concern

The Company believesconcluded that its negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses salaries, wages and payroll taxes, and other accrued expenses areCompany’s ability to continue as a reasonable approximation ofgoing concern for one year from the fair value of those financial instruments because ofdate the nature of the underlying transactions and the short-term maturities involved.

Going Concern

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has no significant operating history and had a cumulative net loss from inception (August 13, 2014) to March 31, 2019 of $9,384,436. The Company has a working capital deficit of $2,329,379 as of March 31, 2019. Since inception, the Company has been funded through debt and equity financings. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company believes its cash resources are insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during the next twelve months. The Company will require additional financing to fund its future planned operations, including research and development and clinical trials and commercialization of its product candidates. In addition, the Company will require additional financing in order to seek to license or acquire new assets, research and develop any potential patents and the related compounds, and obtain any further intellectual property that the Company may seek to acquire.issued.

 

TheManagement intends to explore and identify business opportunities within the U.S., including a potential acquisition of an operating entity through a reverse merger, asset purchase or similar transaction. Our Chief Executive Officer has experience in consulting both private and public companies in operational processes, although no assurances can be given that he can identify and implement a viable business strategy or that any such strategy will result in profits. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and global economies. Even though management believes this plan will allow the Company to continue as a going concern, is dependent onthere are no guarantees to the successful execution of this plan.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it establishes a revenue stream and becomes profitable. Management’s plans tohave been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, include raising additional capital through borrowingwhich contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and salesthe satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period of time.

On March 27, 2020, Banner Midstream was acquired by Ecoark for 8,945,205 shares of common stock. However, management cannot provide any assurances thatstock, and Ecoark assumed all of the debt of the Company. As of September 2020, the Company will be successful in accomplishing anyretained the 1,000,000 shares of its plans. If the Company is not able to obtain the necessary additional financing on a timely basis, the Company will be forced to delay or scale down some or all of its development activities or perhaps even cease the operation of its business.  Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through debt financings and equity financings, and it expects that it will continue to fund its operations through a mix of equity and debt financings.  If the Company secures additional financing by issuing equity securities, its existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted.  The Company also expects to pursue non-dilutive financing sources. However, obtaining such financing would require significant efforts by the Company’s management team, and such financing may not be available, and if available, could take a long period of time to obtain. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Collaborative Arrangements

The Company and its collaborative partners are active participants in the collaborative arrangements and both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activity. The Company records all expenses related to collaborative arrangements as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Adopted as of March 31, 2019

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The Board is issuing this update to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, the Board is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.The Company doesdid not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidatedour financial statements.statements, as no material arrangements prior to the adoption were impacted by the new pronouncement.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2All of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effectiveCompany’s revenue for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates afterthe period January 1, 2017. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). The standard clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,2020 through March 27, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, the assets in the transaction need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Prior to the adoption of the new guidance, an acquisition or disposition would be considered a business if there were inputs, as well as processes that when applied to those inputs had the ability to create outputs. Early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements if it enters into future business combinations.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issue Task Force) ("ASU 2016-18"). This new standard addresses the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the year of adoption, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of ASU 2016-18 won’t have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements

In August, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2016-15"). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption during an interim period.  Adoption of ASU 2016-15 won’t have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas of simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Adoption of ASU 2016-09 won’t have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 addresses the financial reporting of leasing transactions. Under current guidance for lessees, leases are only included on the balance sheet if certain criteria, classifying the agreement as a capital lease, are met. This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, discounted to the present value, for all leases that extend beyond 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of operations and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.  Adoption of ASU 2016-02 won’t have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income.  Adoption of ASU 2016-01 may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This standard provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The Company had no impact, by the adoption of ASU 2014-15

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," on revenue recognition. This guidance provides 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. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The original effective date of this guidance was for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, early adoption is not permitted, and the guidance must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In July 2015, the FASB approved an optional one-year deferral of the effective date. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018. The Company has not yet determined its approach to adoption or the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, if any.  Adoption of ASU 2014-09 won’t have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued guidance applicable to revenue recognition that will be effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2018. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented or a modified retrospective approach. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The new guidance applies a more principles-based approach to recognizing revenue. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption didn’t have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company hasn’t recorded/earned revenue since inception. The Company's potential future revenues could be derived primarily from license and collaboration agreements. The consideration the Company is eligible to receive under these agreements could include upfront payments, research and development funding, milestone payments, and royalties. Each collaboration agreement is unique and will need to be assessed separately under the five-step process under the new standard. The new guidance differs from the current accounting standard in many respects, such as in the accounting for variable consideration, including milestone payments. Under the current accounting policy, the Company recognizes milestone revenue using the milestone method specified in ASC 605-28, which generally results in the recognition of the milestone payment as revenue in the period that the milestone is achieved. However, under the new accounting standard, it is possible to start to recognize milestone revenue before the milestone is achieved, subject to management's assessment of whether it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 – Loans

In 2014, the Company executed an agreement with a third-party investor whereby the Company issued $53,209 in a convertible promissory note.

On March 4, 2019, the Company and CC3I entered into an arrangement whereby CC3I will lend the Company $40,000 pursuant to the terms of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”).  The Note bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and has a maturity date of August 31, 2019.  The Manager of CC3I, James Farrell, is a director and shareholder of the Company.  Pursuant to the requirements of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors approved the transaction with CC3I.  

The Note is secured by that certain Security Agreement dated September 20, 2018 between the Company and the CC3I (included as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 26, 2018) (the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and CC3I agreed that all amounts, liabilities and obligations owed by the Company to CC3I are secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement.  The security interest granted to CC3I is subject to certain permitted security interests, specifically those interests previously granted to (i) 0851229 BC, Ltd. (“BC”) pursuant to an amended and restated security agreement dated as of June 14, 2016 (included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2016) (the “BC Security Interest”) and (ii) Fromar Investments, LP (“Fromar”) pursuant to a security agreement dated as of March 5, 2018 (included as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 12, 2018) (the “Fromar Security Interest”).

Company Overview

As of about March 31, 2019, should be read2020, we began seeking new business opportunities in conjunctionthe United States after the March 27, 2020 merger with Ecoark. Among other things, we recently commenced selling our shares of common stock in Ecoark, distributing all or a portion of the proceeds to our shareholders or using the proceeds to attract an acquisition target.

We have no revenue, have incurred losses since inception and our only asset is shares of common stock of Ecoark which we acquired in March 27, 2020 in exchange for the sale of our operating subsidiaries. Prior to that transaction, we were engaged in providing equipment and services to businesses in the oil and gas industry, but in connection with the financial statementstransaction, the Company has terminated its operations.

Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business, rather than immediate, short-term earnings. Our search for a business opportunity is not currently limited to any particular geographical area or industry, except that we are focusing our search to businesses located within the United States.

Plan of Mount Tam Biotechnologies, Inc.,Operation

The Company has no operations or revenue from continuing operations as of the date of this Report. We have terminated our operations in the oil and gas industry, and are currently in the process of developing a business plan, including with respect to the disposition of our remaining asset, and the notesuse of the proceeds therefrom to those financial statementsdistribute to shareholders and locate a business opportunity in the U.S.

Management intends to explore and identify business opportunities within the U.S., including a potential acquisition of an operating entity through a reverse merger, asset purchase or similar transaction. Our Chief Executive Officer has experience in consulting both private and public companies in operational processes, although no assurances can be given that are included elsewherehe can identify and implement a viable business strategy or that any such strategy will result in this Form 10-Q. This discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involveprofits. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties such as Mount Tam Biotechnologies plans, objectives, expectationswhich are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and intentions. Actual resultsglobal economies. For more information about the risk of coronavirus on our business, see “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide revenue or cash flow. During the next 12 month period we anticipate incurring costs in investigating, evaluating and negotiating potential business combinations, filing SEC reports, and consummating an acquisition of an operating business. We anticipate using a portion of the timingproceeds from the sale of events could differ materially from those anticipatedEcoark common stock to fund these costs and compensate our Chief Executive Officer.

Given our limited capital resources, we may consider a business combination with an entity which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company or is otherwise in these forward-looking statements asneed of additional funds for the development of new products or services or expansion into new markets, or is an established business experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. Alternatively, a resultbusiness combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, an entity which desires access to the U.S. capital markets.

As of the date of this Report, our management has not had any discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors and Business sectionspotential business combination. Any target business that is selected may be financially unstable or in the form 10-K filed on April 15, 2019. Wordsearly stages of development. In such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions are usedevent, we expect to identify forward-looking statements.

We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations andbe subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or early stage entity. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk or in which our management has limited experience, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the Company. No assurances are maderisks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that actual resultswe will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

Our management anticipates that we will likely only be able to effect one business combination due to our limited capital. This lack of operations ordiversification will likely pose a substantial risk in investing in the results of ourCompany for the indefinite future, activitiesbecause it will not differ materiallypermit us to offset potential losses from its assumptions. Factorsone venture or operating territory against gains from another. The risks we face will likely be heightened to the extent we acquire a business operating in a single industry or geographical region.

We anticipate that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for the Company's products and services and competition. 

The Share Exchange was treated asselection of a reverse acquisition for financial accounting and reporting purposes.  As such, Mount Tam is treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes while the Company was treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  Further, as a result, the historical financial statements thatbusiness combination will be reflecteda complex and risk-prone process. Because of general economic conditions, including unfavorable conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are a number of firms seeking business opportunities at this time at discounted rates with which we will compete. We expect that any potentially available business combinations may appear in a variety of different industries or regions and at various stages of development, all of which will likely render the Company’s future financial statements filed with the SECtask of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complicated. There can be no assurance that we will be those of Mount Tam,successful in addressing such risks, and the Company’s assets, liabilitiesfailure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Mount. Tam.  Accordingly, for clarity and continuity, we are presenting the historical financial statements for Mount Tam for the periods presented.

Overview

We are an early stage company primarily engaged in the development of bio-pharmaceuticals to treat a range of disease areas with high unmet need. Our lead program is focused on SLE, and we intend to optimize and bring to market a portfolio of leading products focused on improving the health and well-being of millions of people who have been affected by a range of serious disease conditions. To that end, we have formed a strategic partnership with the Buck Institute, an independent research facility focused on understanding the connection between aging and chronic disease. As part of the partnership, we have signed the License Agreement that includes many of the Buck Institute's intangible research and development assets. The initial focus of our research and development efforts will be a preclinical stage compound for the treatment of SLE, a serious form of lupus.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

OurHistorically, our principal sources of cash have been proceeds from private placements of common stock and incurrence of debt. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Company had working capitalan accumulated deficit of $2,329,379 with$2,662,921. We expect our cash balance of $34,024. Our cash decreased by $23,617 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. 

During the second quarter of 2016 the Company entered into negotiations with the Buck Institute to resolve certain outstanding financial concerns, and to broaden the Research Collaboration and License Agreement beyond the area of autoimmune disease.  On July 18, 2016, Mount Tam Biotechnologies, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Research Collaboration and License Agreement (the "License Agreement") between the Company and The Buck Institute for Research on Aging ("The Buck Institute").

Pursuant to this Amendment, the Research Collaboration Term of the License Agreement is tolled until the Company can achieve a Qualified Financing (definedtemporarily increase as any financing occurring after the date of the Amendment which results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2,000,000). Once a Qualified Financing has been achieved, the research collaboration efforts will resume, and will continue for a period of twenty-one months (the "Extended Research Collaboration Term"). The Company and The Buck Institute agreed to work together to determine a new research plan, specifying the research and development activities of both parties during the Extended Research Collaboration Term.




Additionally, pursuant to the Amendment, the parties agreed to settle past research funding amounts owed by the Company to The Buck Institute. The Company agreed to pay $40,000 within ten days of the execution of the Amendment, and The Buck Institute agreed that once this amount is paid, the Company will be deemed to be in full compliance with the terms of the License Agreement, including its payment obligations. On July 19, 2016, the Company made the $40,000 payment to The Buck Institute.  In addition to the $40,000 payment, on June 13, 2016, the Company paid to The Buck Institute $11,706 in connection with costs incurred to further the Company's intellectual property position under the License Agreement. Pursuant to the above amendment The Buck Institute waived $274,247 of payable by the Company. In addition, the Company issued to Buck Institute 1,009,016we sell our shares of Ecoark common stock, which was the number of shares required to equal to 5% of the Company's total outstanding shares. Pursuant to the original License Agreement, and the Amendment, The Buck Institute's equity interest in the Company will not be reduced below 5% of the total aggregate shares of common stock until such time that the Company has raised and received a total of $5,000,000 of investment in equity, debt, grants, contributions, or donations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has issued 2,644,272 shares of the Company's common stock to The Buck Institute and committed to issue 4,000 shares of the Company's common stock as additional shares.

Moreover, the parties agreed that the field of use covered by the License Agreement would be expanded, with the new definition being "the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of any and all conditions or diseases including, without limitation, systemic lupus erythematous and multiple sclerosis for human and/or veterinary use." (Under the original License Agreement, the Company's field of use had been restricted to autoimmune disorders). The foregoing is qualified in its entirety to the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2016.stock.

 

NegativeNet Cash used by Operating Cash FlowActivities:

 

We reported negativeno net cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. It is anticipated that we will continue to report negative operating cash flow in future periods, as we have ceased operations and are considering the Company’s next steps. However, given that there are and will continue to be lower expenses until we determine and commence our future operations, the significance of negative cash flows will likely until one or more of our products are placed into production and released to our customers.

Our cash balance of $34,024 may not be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to pay our expenses, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. Recent economic turmoil and lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets together with high volatility in prices in the equity capital markets have severely and adversely affected capital raising opportunities. We do not have any commitments for financing at this time, and financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient to fund our operations, if necessary, we will be forced to suspend or curtail our operations. Indiminished during that event, current stockholders would likely experience a loss of most or all of their investment. Additional funding that we do obtain may be dilutive to the interests of existing stockholders.

Because of the equity capital markets have severely and adversely affected capital raising opportunities. We do not have any commitments for financinginherent uncertainties of the Company at this time,stage, we cannot be certain as to how much capital we need, if and financing may nothow capital will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses during the interests of existing stockholders.

To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities or obtaining borrowings convertible into equity, ownership dilution to existing stockholders will result and future investors may be granted rights superior to those of existing stockholders.

The pandemic may, dependhowever, have an impact on prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed on the footnote Note 2.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide this disclosure.Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Mr. Richard Horgan, who is presently serving as our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer havehas concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC 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 material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of theits inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management usedbased on the criteriaparameters set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reportingabove and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2019,2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a result of material weaknesses.

We have identified the following factors that have led management to determine that material weaknesses exist in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019:weaknesses:

 

1.

We doThe Company does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions due to only having one employee and its limited nature and resources.

The Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee.
The Company does not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation
All of key internal controls overthe Company’s financial reporting is carried out by a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.




2.

We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

These factors represent materialWe plan to rectify these weaknesses inby implementing an independent board of directors, establishing written policies and procedures for our internal controls overcontrol of financial reporting. Although we believe the possibility of errors in our financial statements is remote, untilreporting, and hiring additional accounting personnel at such time as we expand our staff with additional qualified personnel, we expect to continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.complete a reverse merger.
