AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 20192020

 

Note 1 Overview and Description of the Company

ABCO Energy, Inc. was organized on July 29, 2004 and operated until July 1, 2011 as Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc. (ENYC). On July 1, 2011 ENYC entered into a share exchange agreement (SEA) with ABCO Energy, Inc. (“ABCO” or “Company”) and acquired all the assets of ABCO. ENYC changed its name to ABCO Energy, Inc. on October 31, 2011. As a result of the SEA, the outstanding shares of ENYC as of June 30, 2011 were restated in a one for twenty three (1 for 23) reverse stock split prior to the exchange to approximately 9% of the post-exchange outstanding common shares of the Company.

On January 13, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for- 10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on January 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split the number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced to 50,000,000 from 500,000,000 shares. The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders in May 2017 which authorized an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common share capital to 2,000,000,000 common shares and 100,000,000 preferred shares. Thereafter, on September 27, 2017, by written consent the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted to authorize an additional amendment to increase the authorized common shares to 2,000,000,000 shares.

On December 23, 2018 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1- for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on December 23, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis.

On November 8, 2018, by written consent the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted to authorize an additional amendment to increase the authorized common shares to 5,000,000,000 shares. All share numbers through-out these financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect this reverse split.

 

The Company is in the Photo Voltaic (PV) solar systems industry, the LED and energy efficient commercial lighting business and is an electrical product and services supplier. In 2018 ABCO entered the HVAC business with the acquisition of a small company’s assets and qualifying license. The Company plans to build out a network of operations in major cities in the USA to establish a national base of PV, HVAC, lighting and electrical service operations centers. This combination of services, solar and electric, provides the Company with a solid base in the standard electrical services business and a solid base in the growth markets of solar systems industry.

 

ABCO Energy, Inc. was organized on July 29, 2004 and operated until July 1, 2011 as Energy Conservation Technologies, Inc.

On December 13, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-170 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on January 4, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis. 

On December 23, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for 20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on December 23, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis. 

On November 8, 2018, by written consent the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted to authorize an additional amendment to increase the authorized common shares to 5,000,000,000 shares.

On January 13, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of its common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  The Reverse Stock Split became effective with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) and in the marketplace on January 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), whereupon the shares of common stock began trading on a split adjusted basis.

Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policiespolicies.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following to be critical accounting policies whose application have a material impact on our reported results of operations, and which involve a higher degree of complexity, as they require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

There are only cash accounts included in our cash equivalents in these statements. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no short term cash equivalents reported in these financial statements.

 

Fixed Assets

Property and equipment are to be stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis according to IRS guidelines over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from sales of solar products, LED lighting, installation services and leasing fees. During the last two fiscal years, the company had product sales as follows:

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2019

AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 20192020

 

Our revenue recognition is recorded on the percentage of completion method for sales and installation revenue and on the accrual basis for fees and interest income.  We recognize and record income when the customer has a legal obligation to pay.  All our revenue streams are acknowledged by written contracts for any of the revenue we record.  There are no differences between major classes of customers or customized orders.  We record discounts, product returns, rebates and other related accounting issues in the normal business manner and experience very small number of adjustments to our written contractual sales.  There are no post-delivery obligations because warranties are maintained by our suppliers. Our lease fees are earned by providing services to contractors for financing of solar systems.  Normally we will acquire the promissory note (lease) on a leased system that will provide cash flow for up to 20 years.  Interest is recorded on the books when earned on amortized leases.

 

Accounts Receivable on completed contractsand work-in-progress

The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of product to customers and does not make bill-and-hold sales.  Contracts spanning reporting periods are recorded on the percentage of completion method, based on the ratio of total costs to total estimated costs by project, for recognition of revenue and expenses.  Accounts receivable includes fully completed and partially completed projects and partially billed statements for completed work and product delivery.  The Company records a reserve for bad debts in the amount of 2% of earned accounts receivable.  When the Company determines that an account is uncollectible, the account is written off against the reserve and the balance to expense.  If the reserve is deemed to be inadequate after annual reviews, the reserve will be increased to an adequate level.

 

Inventory

The Company records inventory of construction supplies at cost using the first in first out method.  After review of the inventory on an annual basis, the Company discounts all obsolete items to net realizablefair market value and has established a valuation reserve of 10% of the inventory at total cost to account for obsolescence. As of December 31, 2019 all inventory was written off. Inventoryoff resulting in balances at June 30,March 31, 2021 of $0 and at December 31, 2020 was $-0- and June 30 , 2019 was $ 61,997.of $0.

 

Income Taxes

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 20192020 totaling approximately $4,736,013$4,659,812 net of accrued derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation, which are assumed to be non-tax events. A deferred 21% tax benefit of approximately $994,562$978,561 has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount as its realization is not assured. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry-forward depends predominately upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income during future periods, which is not assured.

 

The Company files in the US only and is not subject to taxation in any foreign country. There are three open years for which the Internal Revenue Service can examine our tax returns so 2016, 2017, 2018 and 20182019 are still open years and 20192020 will replace 20162017 when the tax return is filed.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC 825 requires the Corporation to disclose estimated fair value for its financial instruments.  Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth as follows for the Corporation’s financial instruments.  The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, other current assets, payables, accrued expenses and notes payable are reported at cost but approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company evaluates derivatives based on level 3 indicators.

 

ASC 825 requires the Corporation to disclose estimated fair value for its financial instruments.  Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth as follows for the Corporation’s financial instruments.  The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, other current assets, payables, accrued expenses and notes payable are reported at cost but approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale date of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2019

AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 20192020

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1:  Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:  Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the current nature of these instruments. Debt approximates fair value based on interest rates available for similar financial arrangements. Derivative liabilities which have been bifurcated from host convertible debt agreements are presented at fair value. See note 1311 for complete derivative and convertible debt disclosure.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as convertible features in convertible debts or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the binomial option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments, such as warrants, are also valued using the binomial option-pricing model.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.  

Prior Period Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in this Report.

Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined the following have an affecteffect on our financial statements:

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 505 and ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. For employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant and the probable attainment of a specified performance condition or over a service period.

 

Per Share Computations

Basic net earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. All shares were considered anti-dilutive at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Potentially dilutive share issues are: 1) all unissued common shares sold, 2) all convertible debentures have a possibility of a large number of shares being issued and would result in a larger number of shares issued if the price remains low, 3) the preferred stock of the company held by insiders is convertible into common shares and the preferred stock is voted on a 20 to 1 basis, 4) all options issued. All of the above are potential dilutive items.

Note 3 Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activitiesmarketing and developing its business plan and marketing.operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $(371,205),$(93,701) for the period ended March 31, 2021 and $(352,774) for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The net cash flow used in operations was $13,596 and$(97,106) for the period ended March 31, 2021and its accumulated net losses from inception through the period ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 is $6,932,963,$(7,179,968), which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through capital contributions from shareholders.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock or through debt financing and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), in measuring fair value and in disclosing fair value measurements at the measurement date. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. FASB ASC No. 820-10-35, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures- Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 820-10-35”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10-35-3 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.

 

The following table shows the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities on all outstanding convertible debt at June 30,2020March 31, 2021 and at December 30,2019:March 31, 2020:

After the reverse of shares effective January 4, 2021 the authorized shares were reduced to 29,411,765. Our board of directors believes that it is desirable to have additional authorized shares of common stock available for possible future financings, acquisition transactions, joint ventures and other general corporate purposes. Our board of directors believes that having such additional authorized shares of common stock available for issuance in the future will give us greater flexibility and may allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special shareholders’ meeting unless such approval is expressly required by applicable law. Although such issuance of additional shares with respect to future financings and acquisitions would dilute existing shareholders, management believes that such transactions would increase the overall value of the Company to its shareholders. Therefore, on January 11, 2021, the shareholders voted to authorize an increase in the Authorized Common Shares to 2,000,000,000 shares. 

 

Earnings (loss) per share calculation

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period

 

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 excludes the common stock equivalents from convertible debt of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, and the share issue number is not calculable until conversion takes place.

 

Stock subscriptions executed under an earlier offering included a provision whereby ABCO agrees to pay a dividend (defined as interest) of from 6% to 12% of the total amount invested for a period of one year from receipt of the invested funds. This dividend (defined as interest) is allocated between the broker and the investor with amounts paid to the broker treated as a cost of the offering and netted against additional paid in capital and amounts paid to the investor treated as interest expense. Total amounts paid or accrued under this agreement and charged to additional paid-in capital for the yearsthree months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, amounted to $0 and $0, respectively. Total amounts paid under this agreement and charged to interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,2020, amounted to $0 and $0, respectively. The accrued balance due on this obligation to shareholders totals $49,290 at March 31, 2021 and $49,290 at December 31, 2019 and 2018.2020.

 

ABCO has evaluated these agreements under ASC 480-10: Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Bothboth Liabilities and Equity and determined that the capital contributions made under these subscription agreement more closely resemble equity than liabilities as they can only be settled through the issuance of shares and although they have a stated cost associated with them which accrues in the same manner as interest, the cost is only incurred in the first twelve months after placement as is more closely associated with a cost of raising funds than interest expense.

Our discussion of operating results for the threeThree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 are presented below with major category details of revenuerevenues and expenseexpenses including the components of operating expenses.

Sales consist of photovoltaic products, electrical services and LED lighting products and installation during both periods for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended June30, 2019.periods.

 

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $207,239 as compared to $459.616 for the same three months in 2019.$335,726 and $314,792, respectively.  This is a decreasean increase of $252,377$20,934 or 55%7% of the 20192020 sales. The Solar sales revenue in 2021 and 2020 and 2019 reflected the Covid 19 Pandemic effects on the Company and seasonal and changing market conditions in the financing of solar installations and competition from the public utilities in the Arizona markets and the effects of the COVID 19COVID-19 Pandemic.  When the utilities in Arizona cancelled or substantially reduced net metering, all solar companies have struggled in the residential market.  ABCO has begun its focus on commercial sales in 2017 and has been able to grow every period since that decision. ABCO has worked diligently to overcome the utility changes by focusing on commercial applications and the increased interest of business and government in the LED lighting contracts.

 

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $220,150 or 106%$294,142 and $214,170, respectively, and 87% and 68% of revenues in 2020 and $410,224 or 58% of revenues in 2019.sales for each period then ended.  Gross margins were (9%)13% of revenue in 2020for the first three months ended March 31,2021 and 24%32% of revenue for the three months of 2019.ended March 31, 2020.  During 20202021 and 20192020 we have been offering new products and have found our entry market prices for steel parking structures have added gross margins higher than usual because we use outside contractors for the entire projects.  Our gross profit reflects this decision.  We feel that we have made progress in entering the parking shade markets and that our gross margins will stabilize as growth lowers these margins in the future.

 

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $305,231$166,164 or 147%49% of revenues in 2020during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $240,805$160,179 or 52%51% of revenues for the same period in 2019.three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.  Net (loss) incomeloss from operations for the three-month period ended June 30 , 2020March 31, 2021 was $(18,431)$(124,580) as compared to thea net loss of $(76,295)$(59,557) for the same three-month period ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020, respectively.  Our operating expenses for thisthe three months ending March 31, 2021 period were higherlower by $64,426 than$5,985 over the comparative period in 2019.2020. The interest expense during the periodthree months ended June 30, 2020 was lowerMarch 31, 2021 increased  by $13,472 than in$3,106 over the period ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 due mostly to the lack of new convertible loans during this period where accounting treatment requires the recording of prepaidsprepaid interest during the first phase of the loan.  Derivative liabilitiesloan and because of convertible debentures were $313,313 during the current period as compared to $0 in the prior year.higher loans from related parties.  This combination of factors decreased the loss for the period ending June 30, 2020three months ended March 31, 2021 to $(18,431)$(93,701) as compared to $(76,925) on June 30, 2019, due almost entirely by$(352,774) for the change in derivative income and expenses.three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. 

 

As noted in previous paragraphs discussing market conditions,previously, ABCO could not finish its backlog of work and expand into the markets of LED lights and commercial solar markets without maintaining staff, facilities and sales expenses.  When sales revenues fall, and expenses are not reduced in equal amounts or percentages,proportionately, the result is an increase of the percentage ofin operating expenses proportionate to sales revenue.  Operating expenses for the two periods increased to accommodate our expansion of sales programs, but not in the same ratio as the increase in sales. ABCO chose to maintain a level of expenses that would not cripplesignificantly impact the Company’s future.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 20, 2019.

Our discussion of operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 are presented below with major category details of revenue and expense including the components of operating expenses.

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $522,031 as compared to $1,113,626 for the same three months in 2019.  This is an decrease of 591,595 or 53% of the 2019 sales.

Cost of sales was $434,320 or 83% of revenues in 2020 and $678,886 or61% of revenues in 2019.  Gross margins were 17% of revenue in 2020 and 39% of revenue for the six months of 2019.  During 2020 and 2019 we have been offering new products and have found our entry market prices for steel parking structures have added gross margins higher than usual because we use outside contractors for the entire projects.  Our gross profit reflects this decision.  We feel that we have made progress in entering the parking shade markets and that our gross margins will stabilize as growth lowers these margins in the future.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $465,410 or 89% of revenues in 2020 and $501,866 or 45% of revenues for the same period in 2019.  Net (loss) income from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $(371,205) as compared to the net loss of $(595,760) for the same six month period ended June 30, 2019.  Our operating expenses for this period were lower by $36,456 than the comparative period in 2019. The interest expense during the period ended June 30, 2020 was lower by $89,306 than in the period ended June 30, 2019 due mostly to the increase in working capital through new merchant loans and derivatives on convertible debt.  Derivative liabilities of convertible debentures decreased by $445,822 during the current period as compared to the prior year. This combination of factors decreased the loss for the six month period ending June 30, 2020 to $(371,205)  as compared to $(575,760) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due almost entirely by the change in derivative income and expenses.

Any future conversions will increase the number of shares outstanding and the Stockholders Equity by the amount of the original investment.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our primary liquidity and capital requirements have been for carrying cost of accounts receivable after completion of contracts.  The industry habituallytypically requires the solar contractorcontractors to wait for the utility approval in order to be paid for the contracts. This process can easily  exceed 90 days and sometimes requires the Company as the contractor to pay all or most of the cost of the projectprojects without assistance from suppliers. Our working capital deficit at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was $(1,602,188)$(1,439,632) and it was $(1,558,100)$(1,509,716) at December 31, 2019.2020.  This increasedecrease of $44,088$70,084 was primarily due to losses from operations during the periodthree months ended June 30, 2020 and adjustments for possible future losses on derivative conversions.March 31, 2021. Bank financing has not been available to the Company, but we have been able to increase our credit lines with our suppliers because of good credit.  There are no material covenants on our credit lines, normally due in 30 days since they are standard in the industry and the balances vary on a daily basis.daily. Most are personally guaranteed by the Officer of the Company.

 

The total borrowed from Directors Affiliates and officers totaled $313,608$314,003 plus accrued interest of $110,034 as of June 30, 2020.$105,672 at March 31, 2021. There are no existing agreements or arrangement with any Director to provide additional funds to the Company.

 

During the sixthree and twelve months period ended June 30, 2020 or the last fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 there were no transactions, or proposed transactions, which have materially affected or will materially affect the Company in which any director, executive officer, or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the outstanding common, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates, or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest. We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated parties.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Based on our current financial position, we cannot anticipate whether we will have sufficient working capital to sustain operations for the next year if we do not raise additional capital.  We will not, however, be able to reach our goals and projections for multistate expansion without a cash infusion.��  We have been able to raise sufficient capital through the sale of our common shares and we have incurred substantial increases in debt from our trade creditors in the normal course of business.   Management will not expand the business until adequate working capital is provided.  Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to attain profitable operations or to raise additional capital. We have no anticipated timeline for obtaining neither additional financing nor the expansion of our business.  We will continue to keep our expenses as low as possible and keep our operations in line with available working capital as long as possible.  There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain adequate capital from any sources, or at all.

 

 

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not Applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies.

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer/Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which disclosure controls and procedures are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman/CEO and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not currently effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s period SEC filings. The Company is attempting to expand such controls and procedures, however, due to a limited number of resources the complete segregation of duties is not currently in place.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control.

 

Subsequent to the date of such evaluation as described in subparagraph (a) above, there were no changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

(c) Limitations.

 

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. However, we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving this objective. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or operating results.
