CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019 (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1933,1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events (including, without limitation, the terms, timing and closing of our proposed acquisitions or our future financial performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using terminology includingsuch as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Quarterly Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 

·Our ability to effectively execute our business plan;

 

·Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses;

 

·Our ability to protect our brands and reputation;

 

·Our ability to repay our debts;

 

·Our ability to rely on third-party suppliers outside of the United States;

 

·Our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics;

 

·Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry; and

 

·Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior.behavior;

 

·Risks in connection with completed or potential acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic growth opportunities and initiatives;

·Risks related to the anticipated timing of the closing of any potential acquisitions; and

·Risks related to the integration with regards to potential or completed acquisitions.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this Quarterly Report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness, though we do generally believe the data to be reliable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the possibility that we may fail to preserve our expertise in consumer product development; that existing and potential distribution partners may opt to work with, or favor the products of, competitors if our competitors offer more favorable products or pricing terms; that we may be unable to maintain or grow sources of revenue; that changes in the distribution network composition may lead to decreases in query volumes; that we may be unable to attain and maintain profitability; that we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel; or that we may not be able to effectively manage, or to increase, our relationships with customers; that we may have unexpected increases in costs and expenses. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

Note 1 — Business OrganizationBasis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

 

Xspand Products Lab, Inc. (“Xspand”) was incorporated on July 18, 2017 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Idea Lab X Products, Inc. On October 26, 2017, Idea Lab X Products, Inc. changed its name to Xspand Products Lab, Inc.

As of March 31, 2018, Xspand had two wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”): S.R.M. Entertainment Limited (“SRM”) and Ferguson Containers, Inc. (“Fergco”). SRM was incorporated in Hong Kong on January 14, 1981 and primarily designs, manufactures and sells a broad variety of innovative toy products directly to retailers or direct to consumers via ecommerce in North America, Asia and Europe. Fergco was incorporated on September 14, 1966 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. Fergco primarily designs, manufactures and sells packaging and packaging materials for industrial and pharmaceutical companies in North America.

On September 30, 2017, SRM and Fergco were acquired by Xspand in exchange for an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Xspand common stock and notes payable aggregating $2,996,500. This transaction between entities under common control resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Xspand reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Xspand.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 20182019 and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year for any future period.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

As used herein, the terms the “Company,” “Edison Nation” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar refer to Edison Nation, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on July 18, 2017 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Idea Lab X Products, Inc. and also formerly known as Xspand Products Lab, Inc. prior to its name change on September 12, 2018,and/or its wholly-owned and majority-owned operating subsidiaries, and/or where applicable, its management.

Edison Nation is a vertically-integrated, end-to-end, consumer product research & development, manufacturing, sales and fulfillment company. The Company’s proprietary web-enabled platform provides a low risk, high reward platform and process to connect innovators of new product ideas with potential licensees.

As of March 31, 2019, Edison Nation, Inc. had five wholly-owned subsidiaries: S.R.M. Entertainment Limited (“SRM”), Ferguson Containers, Inc. (“Fergco”), CBAV1, LLC (“CB1”), Pirasta, LLC and Edison Nation Holdings, LLC. Edison Nation, Inc. owns 72.15% of Cloud B, Inc. and 50% of Best Party Concepts, LLC. Edison Nation Holdings, LLC is the single member of Edison Nation, LLC and Everyday Edisons, LLC. Edison Nation, LLC is the single member of Safe TV Shop, LLC. Cloud B, Inc. owns 100% of Cloud B UK and Cloud B Australia.

Liquidity

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our operations lost approximately $1,300,000 of which approximately $700,000 was non-cash and approximately $400,000 was related to transaction costs and other non-recurring items.

At March 31, 2019, we had total current assets of approximately $6,200,000 and current liabilities of approximately $10,800,000 resulting in negative working capital of approximately $4,600,000, of which approximately $3,800,000 related to unsecured trade payables assumed in our Cloud B acquisition. In February 2019, our consolidating subsidiary, CBAV1, LLC, foreclosed on the promissory note it held that was secured by Cloud B, Inc.’s assets making any payments of suchCloud B trade payables unlikely. At March 31, 2019, we had total assets of approximately $30,300,000 and total liabilities of approximately $15,400,000 resulting in stockholders’ equity of approximately $14,900,000.

The foregoing factors raised concerns about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations from the sale of its products. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has considered possible mitigating factors within our management plan on our ability to continue for at least a year from the date these financial statements are filed. The following items are management plans to alleviate any going concern issues:

·Raise further capital through the sale of additional equity;

·Borrow money under debt securities;

·The deferral of payments to related party debt holders for both principal of approximately $1,000,000 and related interest expense;

·Cost saving initiatives related to synergies and the elimination of redundant costs of approximately $500,000; and

·Possible sale of certain brands to other manufacturers.

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements.

 

The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable reserves, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, and the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets.assets, debt conversion features, stock-based compensation, certain assumptions related to the valuation of the reserved shares and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Company’s acquisitions. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company has cash on deposit in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. The Company reduces its credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. The Company had approximately $448,000 uninsured at March 31, 2019 of which approximately $329,000 was held in foreign bank accounts not covered by FDIC insurance limits as of March 31, 2019.

Accounts Receivable

As of March 31, 2019, the following customers represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable:

Inventory

 

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Generally, the Company considers all revenues as arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized based on the five step process outlined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606:

 

Step 1 – Identify the Contract with the Customer – A contract exists when (a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, (b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, (c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred, (d) the contract has commercial substance and it is probably that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

10

Edison Nation, Inc.(formerly known as Xspand Products Lab, Inc.)and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

 

Step 2 – Identify Performance Obligations in the Contract – Upon execution of a contract, the Company identifies as performance obligations each promise to transfer to the customer either (a) goods or services that are distinct, or (b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company must apply judgement to determine whether the goods or services are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Step 3 – Determine the Transaction Price – When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company shall recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The contract terms are used to determine the transaction price. Generally, all contracts include fixed consideration. If a contract did include variable consideration, the Company would determine the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price based on expected value method. Variable consideration would be included in the transaction price, if in the Company’s judgement, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract would not occur.

 

Step 4 – Allocate the Transaction Price – After the transaction price has been determined, the next step is to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract. If the contract only has one performance obligation, the entire transaction price will be applied to that obligation. If the contract has multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price (SSP) at contract inception.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Step 5 – Satisfaction of the Performance Obligations (and Recognize Revenue) – Revenue is recognized when (or as) goods or services are transferred to a customer. The Company satisfies each of its performance obligations by transferring control of the promised good or service underlying that performance obligation to the customer. Control is the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from an asset. It includes the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from an asset. Indicators that control has passed to the customer include: a present obligation to pay; physical possession of the asset; legal title; risks and rewards of ownership; and acceptance of the asset(s). Performance obligations can be satisfied at a point in time or over time.

  

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues continue to be recognized when control of the goods are transferred to the customer, which is upon shipment of the finished goods to the customer. All sales have fixed pricing and there are currently no material variable components included in the Company’s revenue. Additionally, the Company will issue credits for defective merchandise, historically these credits for defective merchandise have not been material. Based on the Company’s analysis of the new revenue standards, revenue recognition from the sale of finished goods to customers, which represents substantially all of the Company’s revenues, was not impacted by the adoption of the new revenue standards.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The Company’s primary revenue streams include the sale and/or licensing of consumer goods for innovative toy products (SRM) and packaging materials to industrialfor innovative products. The Company’s licensing business is not material and pharmaceutical companies (Fergco).has not been separately disaggregated for segment purposes. The disaggregated Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk. The loan held for investment was acquired at fair value, which resulted in a discount.

There were no changes to the underlying assumptions used in determining the fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the United States dollar as its functional and reporting currency since the majority of the Company’s revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are in the United States. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies (HK dollars) are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 were not material.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”).

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been includedNet Earnings or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was signed into law. This legislation significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.

The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. Although the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate on the full effect on our income taxes as of the date of this report, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The remeasurement of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

The Company is still in the process of analyzing the impact to the Company of the TCJA. Where the Company has been able to make reasonable estimates of the effects related to which its analysis is not yet complete, the Company has recorded provisional amounts. The ultimate impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be complete when the Company’s 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

Earnings PerLoss per Share

 

Basic net (loss) incomeloss per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) incomeloss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-3.333333 reverse stock split, which was effected on February 14, 2018.period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2018, and 2017, there were no dilutive securitiescommon stock equivalents outstanding. As of March 31, 2019, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

ConcentrationsRecent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial instrumentsIn February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. This accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Additionally, this accounting guidance requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.

However, the Company has not elected the use of hindsight for determining the reasonably certain lease term.

Upon adoption on January 1, 2019, the Company recognized right of use assets for operating leases and operating lease liabilities that have not previously been recorded. The lease liability for operating leases is based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. The right of use asset for operating leases is based on the lease liability.

In June 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to accounting for employee share-based payments which clarifies that represented 35%an entity should recognize excess tax benefits in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We have adopted this accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019, with no impact on our financial statements as there were no excess tax benefits to be recognized due to our net operating losses.

In August 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that addresses the accounting for implementation costs associated with a hosted service. The guidance provides that implementation costs be evaluated for capitalization using the same criteria as that used for internal-use software development costs, with amortization expense being recorded in the same income statement expense line as the hosted service costs and 13%over the expected term of total net salesthe hosting arrangement. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We have not yet adopted this accounting guidance and are currently evaluating the effect this accounting guidance will have on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, an entity will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. Since this accounting guidance only revises disclosure requirements, it will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which requires indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. Based upon thesuch evaluation, except for items described in Note 10, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments.

The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performancerecorded stock-based compensation expense of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

 

Xspand Products Lab, Inc. (“Xspand”) was incorporated on July 18, 2017Edison Nation: End-to-end product innovation, development and commercialization

Edison Nation is a vertically-integrated, end-to-end, consumer product research and development, manufacturing, sales and fulfillment company.

The Company is the aggregation of five wholly owned subsidiaries whose operations and go-to-market strategy are vertically integrated under the lawsEdison Nation corporate umbrella.

During the first quarter of 2019, Edison Nation rolled out its “One Company” initiative to integrate the acquired businesses into one cohesive operation.

Edison Nation’s cornerstone business driver is its proprietary web-enabled new product development and licensing platform (www.edisonnation.com) that provides a low risk, high reward process to connect innovators of new product ideas with potential licensing partners.

Considered to be the “go-to” resource for independent innovators with great consumer product invention ideas, Edison Nation engages with over 140,000 registered online innovators and entrepreneurs to bring innovative, new products to market focusing on high-interest, high-velocity consumer categories.

Since its inception, Edison Nation has received over 100,000 idea submissions, with products selling in excess of $250 million at retail through the management of over 300 client product campaigns with distribution across diverse channels including ecommerce, mass merchandisers, specialty product chains, entertainment venues, national drug chains, and tele-shopping. These clients include many of the Statelargest manufacturers and retailers in the world including Amazon, Bed Bath and Beyond, HSN, Rite Aid, P&G, and Black & Decker.

Edison Nation also creates, manufactures and markets its own products for the infant / toddler market under the Cloud b consumer brand name. In addition, the Company leverages its vertically integrated resources and capabilities to create licensed consumer products for large entertainment theme park enterprises, like Disney World and Universal Studios.

Edison Nation also creates, manufactures and markets its own products including the infant / toddler market under the Cloud b consumer brand name, innovative party products under the Best Party Concepts brand, and premium branded coloring activities under the Pirasta brand. Recently the company launched product lines for 911 Help Now, Master Sous and Smarter Specs. In addition, the Company leverages its vertically integrated resources and capabilities to create licensed consumer products for large entertainment theme park enterprises, like Disney World and Universal Studios as well as custom packaging solutions for large and small U. S. Based companies.

Business Model

New product ideas have little value without the ability and skill required to commercialize them. The considerable investment and executional “know how” needed to initiate a process - from idea to product distribution - has always been a challenge for the individual innovator.

Edison Nation’s business model is designed to take advantage of Nevadaonline marketplace and crowdfunding momentum for our future growth mitigating new product development risk while allowing for optimized product monetization based on a product’s likelihood to succeed.

To that end, Edison Nation empowers and enables innovators and entrepreneurs to develop and launch products, gain consumer adoption and achieve commercial scale efficiently at little to no cost.

The Edison Nation New Product Development & Commercialization Platform

Indeed, the cornerstone of Edison Nation’s competitive advantage is its proprietary and web-enabled new product development (“NPD”) and commercialization platform. The platform can take a product from idea through ecommerce final sale in a matter of months versus a year or more for capital intensive and inefficient new product development protocols traditionally used by legacy manufacturers serving “big box” retailers.

The Company’s web-enabled NPD platform is designed to optimize product licensing and commercialization through best-in-class digital technologies, sourcing / manufacturing expertise and one of the largest sets of go-to-market solutions. This unique set of resources and capabilities have proven to be a reliable catalyst for sales success.

In order to expand the Company’s universe of registered innovators and entrepreneurs submitting ideas on the Edison Nation NPD web platform, the Company has entered a global agreement for distribution of two existing 13-episode seasons of the Company’s Everyday Edison TV series with a leading digital media service company. The series will be available in its original English version as Idea Lab X well as voiceover adaptations in German, French, and Spanish. Distribution is planned for Europe and the Middle East through digital content providers such as Amazon Prime Video.

Product Submission Aggregation

Interested innovators enter the Edison Nation web site to register for a free account by providing one’s name and email address. The member then creates a username and password to use on the site. Once registered, the member is provided with their own unique, password protected dashboard by which they can begin submitting ideas and join online member forums to learn about industry trends, common questions, engage in member chats, and stay informed of the latest happenings at Edison Nation. They can also track the review progress of ideas they submit through their dashboard.

25

 

Edison Nation accepts ideas through a secure online submission process. Once a member explores the active searches in different product categories being run on the platform for potential licensees seeking new product ideas to be commercialized, the member can submit their new product ideas for processing. Edison Nation regularly works with different companies and retailers in various product categories to help them find new product ideas.

Registered members pay $25 to submit an idea. This submission fee covers a portion of the cost to review each idea submitted to the platform. There are no additional fees after the submission fee.

Although the platform might not have an active search that matches the innovator’s idea, the Edison Nation Licensing Team hosts an ongoing search for new consumer product ideas in all categories.

“Insider Membership” is Edison Nation’s premium level of membership. Insiders receive feedback on all their ideas submitted and gain access to online features that aren't available to registered members. In addition, Insiders pay $20 for each idea submitted (20% discount vs. a registered member), can opt-in ideas for free, as well as receive other benefits. An annual membership costs $99, or $9.25 / month automatically debited from a credit card each month. Also included online is feedback to the innovator on the status of each stage of the process and notification when ideas are not selected to move forward during any stage in the review process.

Insiders also have access to the Insider Licensing Program (the “ILP”). The primary benefit of the ILP is having the Edison Nation Licensing team working directly on an innovator’s behalf to help secure a licensing agreement with one of the company’s manufacturing partners. If an idea is selected for commercialization by a retail partner, Edison Nation will invest in any necessary patent applications, filings and maintenance. The innovator’s name is included on any patent or patent application that Edison Nation files on the member’s behalf after the idea has been selected.

In addition to the above member programs, Edison Nation ASOTV (“As Seen on TV”) Team hosts a search for new products suitable for marketing via DRTV and subsequent distribution in national retail chains including mass merchandisers, specialty retail, drug chains and department stores.

Product Submission Review

Led by the Company’s NPD Licensing Team (which has over 150 years of combined experience in a variety of industries and product categories), all ideas submitted by innovators through the Company’s website are reviewed and assessed through an 8-stage process. Edison Nation’s product idea review process is confidential with non-disclosure agreements executed with every participating registered or “Insider” member.

The NPD platform’s database of over 85,000 product ideas helps determine which inventions have a substantial market opportunity quickly through proprietary algorithms that have been developed incorporating continuous learning from marketplace experience and changes in category requirements.

Selected ideas are assessed by the NPD Licensing Team based on nine key factors: competing products, uniqueness, retail pricing, liability & safety, marketability, manufacturing cost, patentability, consumer relevant features and benefits, and commercial-ability.

The time required to review ideas depends upon different variables, such as: the number of searches concurrently running on Edison Nation platform, idea volume and complexity of the search, how many presentation dates to licensees are pending, the date an idea is submitted, etc.

26

Presentation dates to potential licensees are usually set a few weeks following the close of the search. After the presentation has been given to a licensing / retail partner, the partner has 45 days to 6 months to select ideas on which they will move forward.

The Insider Licensing Program (ILP program) incorporates a four-stage process:

·Stage #1 — Preliminary Review: The NPD licensing team performs a preliminary review to ensure an invention meets the program criteria. Factors that might stall an idea from moving forward include: an invention is cost-prohibitive, has engineering challenges, and/or major players in the marketplace have already launched products like it. If none of these apply, an idea will be approved and move on to the preparation phase.

·Stage #2 — Preparation: The NPD licensing team performs a best partner review. Edison Nation’s retail and manufacturing contacts are assessed, and the team begins to plan which licensors would be the best fit for an idea. A gap analysis and visits the store shelves are executed to gain greater understanding of marketplace potential.

·Stage #3 — Pitching: At this phase, an idea can become a “Finalist.” The NPD team begins to proactively pitch an idea to potential licensees using a proprietary presentation system. When a company expresses interest, the team proceeds into term sheets and negotiations while staying in constant contact with the prospect until the best possible deal is struck for the innovator.

·Stage #4 — Outcome: In the end, the market decides what products will be successful. There are no guarantees. If for some reason Edison Nation is not successful in finding a licensing partner, a complete debrief is given to the Insider.

Due to the public nature of licensing, Edison Nation only accepts ideas from Insiders that are patented or patent-pending. A valid provisional patent application is required. The cost of submitting an idea to the Insider Licensing Program is $100, and a member must be an “Insider” to be considered.

The Edison Nation ASOTV new product development process follows a six-stage protocol appropriate for the broadcast-based sales channel. For more information regarding the ASOTV process, the Edison Nation NPD platform, its features and member benefits, visit https://app.edisonnation.com/faq.

Acquisition of Intellectual Property

Once an innovator’s idea is judged to be a potentially viable, commercial product and selected for potential commercialization, the Company acquires intellectual property rights from the innovator.

Once an innovator’s intellectual property is secured, the innovator’s product idea can then either be licensed to a manufacturer or retailer, or developed and marketed directly by Edison Nation. In either case, Edison Nation serves as the point-of-contact with the innovator for term sheets, royalty negotiation and concluding licensing agreements. Edison Nation also maintains contact with the innovator to keep them engaged during product development.

In general, innovators are paid a percentage of the Company’s revenue from the commercialization of the innovator’s intellectual property. This percentage varies with the Company’s investment in the development of the intellectual property, including whether the Company decides to license the innovator’s idea for commercialization or instead, to directly develop and market the innovator’s idea.

One Company Initiative

During the first quarter of 2019, Edison Nation began the process to consolidate all operating companies businesses into distinct business units of Edison Nation, which allows the Company to focus on growing sales and leveraging operations. The units consist of:

• Innovate. The Edison Nation Platform. Responsible for the innovation platform that helps inventors go from idea to reality. This is accomplished by optimizing new product election process through deeper analytics to predict success on platforms like crowdfunding and web market places like Amazon. Driving brand awareness of the platform by producing content for inventors and innovators on media platforms including our own Everyday Edison’s television show.

• Build and launch. Consolidating our teams of product designers and developers who take the product from the concept to the consumers hand. These are distributed by geography, industry skillset and expertise in the development process to ensure efficient product build and launch. The bulk of operations are part of this business unit, and the company will continue to develop this unit to meet the needs of our product launch schedule.

• Sell. Our Omni-channel sales effort is divided into three groups; (1) business-to-business revenue opportunities including traditional brick and mortar retailers (2) online market places and direct-to-consumer revenue opportunities, and (3) our NiTRO Team (Near Term Revenue Opportunities). NiTRO, identifies brands and products lines that would benefit from being part of Edison Nation. The team seeks to a find a mutually beneficial transaction to accomplish that goal.

Product Design and Development

With product design, product prototyping and creation of marketing assets all resourced with expert Edison Nation in-house capabilities, we have made protracted, high-cost, high-risk research and development models obsolete.

Edison Nation custom designs most products in-house for specific customers and their needs. We utilize our existing tooling to produce samples and prototypes for customer reviews, refinement and approval, as well as our in-house packaging design and fabrication resources.

The Company’s design and product development professionals are dedicated to the commercialization and marketability of new product concepts advanced through the company’s NPD platform and for licensors / partners like Disney World and Universal Studios.

27

No matter the product, Edison Nation’s objective is to optimize its marketability, function, value and appearance for the benefit of the consumer end user. From concept and prototyping, through design-for-manufacture, special attention is paid to a product’s utility, ease of use, lowest cost bill of materials, and how it “communicates” its features and benefits through design.

The combined experience and expertise of the Company’s team spans many high-demand categories including household items, small appliances, kitchenware, and toys. The company’s in-house capabilities are complimented by third-party engineering and prototyping contractors, like Enventys Partners, and category-specific expert resources within select manufacturers.

Paths to Market

After an innovator’s idea has been selected and then developed, Edison Nation’s NPD and commercialization platform - powered by team of experienced licensing experts and backed by our scalable manufacturing and fulfillment supply chain infrastructure - provides innovators with a clear and unencumbered set of paths to market.

Matching the Innovation with the Licensing Community

Edison Nation partners with many of the biggest and most well-known consumer products companies and retailers. They use the Company’s platform as a “think engine” to develop targeted products, significantly reduce research and development expense, and expedite time to market.

Each potential licensee of an innovator’s idea publishes an exclusive page on the Edison Nation web site with innovation goals and timeline for their search. Appropriate new product ideas are submitted in 100% confidence with all intellectual property safely guarded.

Once the search concludes, Edison Nation presents each with the best patent protected, or patentable ideas that can be selected for development.

Licensing partners and customers include Amazon, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Church & Dwight, Black & Decker, HSN, Worthington Industries, Pampered Chef, Boston America Corp., Walmart, Target, PetSmart, “As Seen on TV,” Sunbeam, Home Depot, and Apothecary Products.

Crowdfunding

Edison Nation has established a commercialization path to include the development and management of crowdfunding campaigns. This is evolving to be a strong engine for future growth.

The benefits of crowdfunding include increased product testing efficiency, decrease financial risk, and the ability to get closer to the end consumer, simultaneously.

The ability for consumers to re-order product not only gauges marketplace demand, but it can also be leveraged as a quantitative “proof point” for potential sales to licensees. Most importantly, the money pledged for orders can be used to finance manufacturing and ecommerce launch marketing costs as negative working capital.

Edison Nation’s experience with crowdfunding is extensive and with significant success. To date, our crowdfunding strategic partner, Enventys, has executed approximately 600 crowdfunding campaigns with an estimated average revenue of $250,000 per campaign, with online consumer purchase occurring on average within 30 days. The cost of a crowdfunding campaign run by Edison Nation is as low as approximately $25,000.

One recent example of a successful Kickstarter campaign run by the Company is last year’s introduction of the MasterSous, 8-in-1 Smart Cooker. This Wi-Fi-connected multi-cooker can sous vide, deep fry, simmer, sear, sauté, boil, steam and slow cook while autonomously stirring food. The owner can use the MasterSous mobile app to remotely adjust cooking times and control the automatic stirring mechanism that keeps food in constant motion for even cooking.

28

The successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the 8-in-1 Smart Cooker resulted in approximately $200,000 in deferred revenue to Edison Nation (300%+ than anticipated) from 738 backers. The 8-in-1 Smart Cooker product is now in production funded by the revenue gained (negative capital) in the Kickstarter campaign.

The product will be available to consumers in October 2019.

Manufacturing, Materials and Logistics

Once a product’s path to market is successfully identified, Edison Nation produces and commercializes the product either through (i) licensing partnerships, or (ii) through a direct-to-market path via ecommerce or traditional retail distribution.

To provide greater flexibility in the manufacturing and delivery of products, and as part of a continuing effort to reduce manufacturing costs, Edison Nation has concentrated production of most of the Company’s products in third-party manufacturers located in China and Hong Kong. The Company maintains a fully staffed Hong Kong office for sourcing, overseeing manufacturing and quality assurance.

Edison Nation’s contracted manufacturing base continues to expand, from two major facilities to 4 to-date. These include two manufacturers required to produce Cloud b children’s sleep products and one for the MasterSous kitchen appliance. Based on anticipated manufacturing requirements, this footprint may expand significantly by the end of 2019. The Company also continues to explore more efficient and expert manufacturing partners to gain greater economies of scale, potential consolidation, and cost savings on an on-going basis.

Products Inc. Onare also purchased from unrelated enterprises with specific expertise in the design, development, and manufacture those specialty products.

We base our production schedules on customer orders and forecasts, considering historical trends, results of market research, and current market information. Actual shipments of ordered products and order cancellation rates are affected by consumer acceptance of product lines, strength of competing products, marketing strategies of retailers, changes in buying patterns of both retailers and consumers, and overall economic conditions. Unexpected changes in these factors could result in a lack of product availability or excess inventory in a product line.

Most of our raw materials are available from numerous suppliers but may be subject to fluctuations in price.

Sales, Marketing and Advertising

Our Omni-channel sales effort is divided into three groups; (1) business-to-business revenue opportunities including traditional brick and mortar retailers (2) online market places and direct-to-consumer revenue opportunities, and (3) our NiTRO Team (Near Term Revenue Opportunities). NiTRO, identifies brands and products lines that would benefit from being part of Edison Nation. The team seeks to a find a mutually beneficial transaction to accomplish that goal.

Edison Nation’s business to business team sells products through a diverse network of manufacturers, distributors and retailers. New customer prospects are gained through outbound sales calls, trade show participation, web searches, referrals from existing customers.

The online team for the company has expertise in selling products on platforms such as the Amazon marketplace as well as portals like Walmart.com and “crowd-funded”websites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

The NiTRO team identifies small, unique brands that could benefit from becoming part of a larger consumer products organization with more resources. The team seeks to negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement whereby the respective branded products become part of Edison Nation’s portfolio of consumer products. 

In order to expand the Company’s universe of registered innovators and entrepreneurs submitting ideas on the Edison Nation NPD web platform, the Company has entered a global agreement for distribution of two existing 13-episode seasons of the Company’s Everyday Edison TV series with a leading digital media service company. The series will be available in its original English version as well as voiceover adaptations in German, French, and Spanish. Distribution is planned for Europe and the Middle East through digital content providers such as Amazon Prime Video.

Sources of Revenue

The Company aggressively pursues the following three sources of sales volume:

·Our branded products sold through traditional retail channels of distribution and other channels of business to business distribution.

·Our branded products sold through direct to consumer platforms such as the Amazon marketplace as well as portals like Walmart.com and “crowd-funded” websites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

·Custom products and packaging solutions that the Company develops and manufactures for partners such as Disney, Marvel, Madison Square Garden and Universal Studios.

·Member idea submission and ILP program fees: $25 per submission (registered members); $20 per submission (Insider members); $100 per submission (ILP members)

·Licensing agents: We match an innovator’s intellectual property with vertical product category leaders in a licensing structure whereby the innovator can earn up to 50% of the contracted licensing fee. Product categories include kitchenware, small appliances, toys, pet care, baby products, health & beauty aids, entertainment venue merchandise, and housewares.

·Product principals: We work with innovators directly, providing such innovators direct access to all of Edison Nation’s resources. Depending on case-by-case factors, innovators may receive a range of up to 35% - 50% of profits.

Market Overview

The process for developing and launching consumer products has changed significantly in recent years. Previously, Fortune 500 and specialty consumer product companies funded multimillion-dollar NPD divisions to develop and launch products. These products were sold primarily on “big box” retail shelves supported by large marketing investments.

The emergence of ecommerce giants, including Amazon and Walmart.com, has disrupted traditional NPD and commercialization paths and has accelerated a consumer shift away from “brick and mortar” retailers. The result has been the bankruptcy or downsizing of many iconic retailers, including Toys R Us, JC Penney, Macy’s, Sears, Kmart, Office Depot, Family Dollar, and K-B Toys, with a commensurate loss of shelf space and accessible locations.

Moreover, crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, have also disrupted NPD process cycles and are now “main stream.” In fact, as of October 26, 2017, Idea Lab X Products, Inc. changed2018, Kickstarter’s cumulative pledged funding exceeded $3.9 billion according to Kickstarter published data. Statista.com estimates that crowdfunded sales of products will exceed $18.9 billion by 2021.

These crowdfunding sites have enabled individual innovators and entrepreneurs to design, prototype and market unique products to millions of potential customers with significantly lower acquisition costs when compared to the capital and time required by legacy NPD processes.

Leveraging Evolving Market Opportunities for Growth

The Company believes that its nameanticipated growth will be driven by five macro factors including:

·The significant growth of ecommerce (14% CAGR, estimated to reach $4.9 trillion by 2021 (eMarketer 2018);

·The increasing velocity of “brick and mortar” retail closures, now surpassing Great Recession levels (Cushman & Wakefield / Moody’s Analytics 2018);

·Product innovation and immediate delivery gratification driving consumer desire for next-generation products with

distinctive sets of features and benefits without a reliance on brand awareness and familiarity;

·The rapid adoption of crowdsourcing to expedite successful new product launches; and

·Utilizing the opportunities to market products over the internet, rather than through traditional, commercial channels, to reach a much broader, higher qualified target market for brands and products.

In addition, we believe that by leveraging our expertise in helping companies launch thousands of new products and our ability to Xspand Products Lab, Inc. On February 14, 2018, Xspand effectedcreate unique, customized packaging, we intend to acquire small brands that have achieved approximately $1 million in retail sales over the trailing twelve-month period with a one-for-3.333333 reverse stock splittrack record of its issued and standinggenerating free cash flow. In addition, we will seek to elevate the value of these acquired brands by improving each part of their launch process, based on our own marketing methodologies.

We believe our acquisition strategy will allow us to acquire small brands using a combination of shares of our common stock. All share informationstock, cash and other consideration, such as earn-outs. We intend to use our acquisition strategy in order to acquire ten or more small brands per year for the next three years. In situations where we deem that a brand is not a “fit” for acquisition or partnership, we may provide the brand with certain manufacturing or consulting services that will assist the brand to achieve its goals.

One example is Cloud b (www.cloudb.com), a leading manufacturer of products and accessories that help parents and children sleep better. The Company distributes its products nationally and in over 100 countries worldwide.

Founded in 2002 and acquired by Edison Nation in October 2018, Cloud b’s highly regarded, award-winning products are developed in consultation with an Advisory Board of pediatricians and specialists. The Company recently won the Toy of the Year award from The Toy Association. Cloud b’s best-known products are Twilight Turtle™ and Sleep Sheep™.

Cloud b’s products can be purchased on-line (through its own ecommerce site and other online e-tailers), in specialty boutiques, gift stores, and worldwide at major retailers including Barnes & Noble, Bloomingdales, Dillard’s, Nordstrom, Von Maur, Harrods of London, and FNAC in France.

Immediate synergies include expanding Edison Nation’s West coast footprint by leveraging Cloud b’s sizeable distribution, sales and fulfillment operations. In addition, Cloud b is leveraging the Edison Nation proprietary NPD platform, Hong Kong-based manufacturer sourcing and management capabilities, and marketing and packaging resources.

Initial focus since acquisition has been retroactively restated to reflectoptimize existing product performance, while helping to develop new product lines leveraging the aforementioned reverse stock split.Edison Nation NPD platform.

 

As of March 31, 2018, Xspand had two wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”): S.R.M. Entertainment Limited (“SRM”) and Ferguson Containers, Inc. (“Fergco”). On September 30, 2017, SRM and Fergco were acquired by Xspand in exchange for an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Xspand common stock and notes payable aggregating $2,996,500. This transaction between entities under common control resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Xspand reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Xspand.

30

 

SRM was incorporated in Hong Kong on January 14, 1981 and Fergco was incorporated on September 14, 1966 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. Our two reportable segments correspond to SRM and Fergco’s business lines: (i) the design, manufacture and sale of a broad variety of innovative toy products sold directly to retailers or direct to consumers via e-commerce in North America, Asia and Europe by our SRM segment, and (ii) the design, manufacture and sale of packaging and packaging materials to industrial and pharmaceutical companies in North America by our Fergco segment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments have an impact on revenue recognition, the determination of share-based compensation and financial instruments. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Components of our Results of Operations

Revenues

We sell consumer products across a variety of categories, including toys, plush, homewares and electronics, to retailers, distributors and manufacturers. We also sell consumer products directly to consumers through e-commerce channels.

Cost of Revenues

 

Our cost of revenues includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor costs and related benefits, subcontractor costs, depreciation, overhead and shipping and handling costs.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, finance and professional expenses.

 

Rental Income

 

We earn rental income from a month-to-month lease on a portion of the building located in Washington, New Jersey that we own.

 

Critical Accounting PoliciesInterest Expense, Net

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and our discussion and analysisInterest expense includes the cost of our financial condition and operating results requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported inborrowings under our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.debt arrangements.

 

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. We believe these critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management believes that because Adjusted EBITDA excludes (i)(a) certain non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) and (ii)(b) expenses that are not reflective of the Company’s core operating results over time (such as restructuring costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, and transaction-related costs), this measure provides investors with additional useful information to measure the Company’s financial performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period. The Company’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (a) as a measure of operating performance;performance, (b) for planning and forecasting in future periods;periods, and (c) in communications with the Company’s Boardboard of Directorsdirectors concerning the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation and should not be used by investors as a substitute or alternative to net income or any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be used to supplement the Company’s financial measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP to provide a more complete understanding of the trends affecting the business.

 

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations to using non-GAAP measures as an analytical tool are (i)(a) they do not reflect the Company’s interest income and expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt; (ii)debt, (b) they do not reflect future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;commitments, and (iii)(c) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our operations lost approximately $1,300,000, of which approximately $700,000 was non-cash and approximately $400,000 related to transaction costs and other non-recurring items.

In February 2019, our consolidating subsidiary, CBAV1, LLC, foreclosed on its promissory note it held that was secured by Cloud B, Inc.’s assets making any payments of the Cloud B trade payables unlikely. At DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2019, we had total assets of $4,070,827approximately $30,300,000 and total liabilities of $4,303,457approximately $15,400,000 resulting in stockholders’ deficitequity of $232,630.approximately $14,900,000.

 

At March 31, 2018, we had $2,968,257The foregoing factors raised concerns about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract significant new sources of outstanding notes payable duecapital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations from the sale of its products. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to our related parties of which $239,689 was the current portion. These notes arosecontinue as part of the consideration paid in our acquisition of SRM and Fergco. At March 31, 2018, we had outstanding debt with unrelated parties and a principal balance of $700,000, reduced by deferred financing fees of $229,365, of which the entire amount was current.going concern.

On April 30, 2018, we completed our initial public offering raising 6,535,600 gross proceeds. The Company received approximately $5,400,000 in net proceeds after deducting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The Company believes that the funds available to it are adequate to meet its working capital needs, debt service and capital requirements for the next 12 monthsyear from the date of this filing.these financial statements are filed. The following items are management plans to alleviate any going concern issues:

 

·Raise further capital through the sale of additional equity;

Thereafter, we may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations.

·Borrow money under debt securities;

·The deferral of payments to related party debt holders for both principal of $967,576 and related interest expense;

·Cost saving initiatives related to synergies and the elimination of redundant costs of approximately $500,000; and

·Possible sale of certain brands to other manufacturers.

Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under Exchange Act (already defined).

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, we determined that, there were control deficiencies existing that constituted a material weakness.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting because this is not required of the Company pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 308(b).

During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer, we have not completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the COSO Framework. Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2019.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.

However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of March 31, 2019, management has not completed an effective assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the COSO framework. Management has concluded that as of March 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP. Management identified the following material weaknesses set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting.

1.We did not perform an effective risk assessment or monitor internal controls over financial reporting.

2.With the acquisitions of Edison Nation Holdings, LLC and Cloud B, Inc., there are risks related to the timing and accuracy of the integration of information from various accounting and ERP systems. The Company has experienced delays in receiving information in a timely manner from its subsidiaries.

3.Due to the demands of integrating the accounting and finance functions, along with turnover in the accounting department, the impact of new accounting standards were not completed on a timely basis.

In April 2019, the Company has engaged an outside consultant to assist in monitoring and testing our internal controls. The Company expects improvements to be made on the integration of information issues in 2019 as we plan to move towards one accounting and a single ERP system. The Company is continuing to further remediate the material weakness identified above as its resources permit.

We are not required by current SEC rules to include, and do not include, an auditor’s attestation report regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, our registered public accounting firm has not attested to management’s reports on our internal control over financial reporting.
