3.Going Concern Uncertainty, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans

 

The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company believes that its ability to continue operations depends on its ability to sustain and grow revenue and results of operations as well as its ability to access capital markets when necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategic objectives. The Company believes that the Companyit will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. The Company expects to finance future cash needs from the results of operations and, depending on the results of operations, the Company may need additional equity or debt financing until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever.

 

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,403,861$1,611,424, as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $794,192$3,289,281 at December 31, 2016.2017. The decreaseincrease of $1,609,669$1,677,857 in the Company’s working capital from December 31, 20162017 to SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 was primarily the result of ana decrease in the Company’s obligation pursuant to issue warrants and a decrease in the acquisitionbalance of Security Grade. the Company’s convertible notes payable, partially offset by a decrease in cash and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements for its operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of its businesses, the number and cash requirements of other acquisition candidates that the Company pursues, and the costs of operations. The Company has been investing in expanding its operation in new states, its courier service in Colorado, though acquisitions, and transforming the assets acquired from Revolutionary.Revolutionary Software. The Company’s management has taken several actionssteps to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through December 31, 2017,2018, including growing and diversifying its revenue streams, selectively reducing expenses, and discussingconsidering additional funding transactions with potential investors. Additionally, if the Company’s actual revenues are less than forecasted, the Company anticipates that variable expenses will also decline, and the Company’s management can implement expense reduction as necessary. The Company is evaluating other measures to further improve its liquidity, including the sale of equity or debt securities. Lastly, the Company may elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such debt into common shares. The Company’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements through December 31, 2017.August 15, 2019. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 20172018 and beyond.

The Company plans to generate positive cash flow from its recently-completed asset acquisitionSecurity Grade and business combinationBioTrack acquisitions to address some of the liquidity concerns. However, to execute the Company’s business plan, service existing indebtedness and implement its business strategy, the Company anticipates that it will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may choose to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, a bank line of credit, borrowings from affiliates or other arrangements. The Company cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Furthermore, any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities may dilute the Company’s current stockholders’ ownership and could also result in a decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock. The terms of those securities issued by the Company in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors and may include the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. The Company also may be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities it issues, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may subject the Company to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, when needed, to continue operations in their current form.

Cash consists of checking accounts. The Company considers all highly-liquidhighly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

Management charges balances off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company determines when receivables are past due, or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.

 

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $31,767$34,767 and $3,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2017.

Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets

 

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows derived from such assets. Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of non-compete agreements and customer relationships. For long-lived assets used in operations, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted, probability-weighted future cash flows. The Company measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value. When an impairment exists, the related assets are written down to fair value.

  

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Helix reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.


The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary. Helix may consider qualitative factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, Helix’s outlook, market performance of Helix’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, Helix determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Helix then performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of Helix’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Such assumptions include projections of future cash flows and the current fair value of the asset. It was determined that during the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s entire amount of goodwill attributable to the Security Grade acquisition was impaired. See Note 9 for a further discussion on the impairment.

Accounting for Acquisitions 

 

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations. 

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805-10, Business Combinations ("ASC 805-10"), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date and any changes in fair value after the acquisition date are accounted for as measurement-period adjustments. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: (1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or (2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

The estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined using established valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using the income approach to valuation based on the discounted cash flow method. Under this method, expected future cash flows of the business on a stand-alone basis are discounted back to a present value. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, consisting of software and trade name acquired were determined using the relief from royalty method.

The most significant assumptions under the relief from royalty method used to value software and trade names include: estimated remaining useful life, expected revenue, royalty rate, tax rate, discount rate and tax amortization benefit. The discounted cash flow method used to value non-compete agreements includes assumptions such as: expected revenue, term of the non-compete agreements, probability and ability to compete, operating margin, tax rate and discount rate. Management has developed these assumptions on the basis of historical knowledge of the business and projected financial information of the Company. These assumptions may vary based on future events, perceptions of different market participants and other factors outside the control of management, and such variations may be significant to estimated values.

Revenue Recognition

 

Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2)following the services have been renderedfive-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the customer, (3)performance obligation(s) in the sales price is fixed or determinablecontract; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s(v) recognize revenues are principally derived from providing security services to its clientele.when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The security services revenue is generated from performing armed and unarmed guarding which is contracted for on an hourly basis. Revenues associated with these contracted services are recognized under time-based arrangements as services are provided.

 

Additionally, the Company provides transportation security services, which are generally contracted for on a per runper-run basis and sometimes additional fees and surcharges are also billed to the client depending on the length of the run. Revenues associated with these services are recognized as the transportation service is provided.

 

The Company also generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.

Occasionally, the Company will enter into systems installation arrangements. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of equipment to be installed, the number of hours expected to be incurred to complete the job and other ancillary costs. Revenue associated with these services are recognized over the arrangement period.

Lastly, the Company generates advertising revenues from consumer advertising on its Cannabase platform. Revenue is recognized over the contract period associated with each specific advertising campaign.

  

Expenses

 

Cost of RevenueRevenues

 

The cost of revenuerevenues is the total cost incurred to obtain a sale and the cost of the goods or services sold. Cost of revenuerevenues primarily consisted of hourly compensation for security personal.personnel and employees involved in the creation and development of licensing software.

 

8

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses encompass selling general and administrative expenses, salaries and wages, professional and legal fees and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of rent/moving expenses, advertising and travel expenses. Salaries and wages is composed of non-revenue generating employees. Professional services are principally comprised of outside legal, audit, information technology consulting, marketing and outsourcing services as well as the costs related to being a publicly traded company.

 

Other Expenses(Expense) Income, net

 

Other expenses,(expense) income, net consisted of the change in thefair value of convertible note, change in fair value of convertible note – related party, interest expense, change in fair value of obligation to issue warrants, the change in the fair value of convertible notes, the change in fair value of convertible note related party, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on induced conversionimpairment of convertible noteGoodwill and interest expense.gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are 3three years for vehicles and 5five years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold, or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in other income.

 

Contingencies

 

Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.


Leases

 

Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) transfer of ownership; (b) bargain purchase option; (c) the lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property; or (d) the present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.

 

If at its inception, a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the Company as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the Company as an operating lease.

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $7,298$34,963 and $11,131$1,388 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and $12,477$61,737 and $30,100$5,179 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.

 

9

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 2016.2017.

 

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

 

The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.

 

Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.

 

Initial Measurement

 

The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.

 

Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities

 

The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expenses).expense/income.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”). A beneficial conversion featureBCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the beneficial conversion feature and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

The Company accounts for the beneficial conversion feature on its convertible preferred stock in accordance with ASC 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The BCF of convertible preferred stock is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature that provides a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of convertible preferred stock when issued. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.


To determine the effective conversion price, the Company first allocates the proceeds received to the convertible preferred stock and then uses those allocated proceeds to determine the effective conversion price. If the convertible instrument is issued in a basket transaction (i.e., issued along with other freestanding financial instruments), the proceeds should first be allocated to the various instruments in the basket. Any amounts paid to the investor when the transaction is consummated (e.g., origination fees, due diligence costs) represent a reduction in the proceeds received by the issuer. The intrinsic value of the conversion option should be measured using the effective conversion price for the convertible preferred stock on the proceeds allocated to that instrument. The effective conversion price represents proceeds allocable to the convertible preferred stock divided by the number of shares into which it is convertible. The effective conversion price is then compared to the per share fair value of the underlying shares on the commitment date.

 

10

The accounting for a BCF requires that the BCF be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid-in capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible preferred stock. This discount should be accreted from the date on which the BCF is first recognized through the earliest conversion date for instruments that do not have a stated redemption date. The intrinsic value of the BCF is recognized as a deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock over a period specified in the guidance.

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in conformity with the provisions of ASC Topic 718,Stock Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation to employees consist of stock options grants and restricted shares that are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 505, subtopic 50,Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employeesbased upon the fair-valuefair value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments, are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received.

 

The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The resulting stock-based compensation expense for both employee and non-employee awards is generally recognized on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price 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 Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).


The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

 Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
   
 Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
 Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

 

11

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction based on market participants. The following section describes the valuation methodologies that the Company used to measure, for disclosure purposes, its financial instruments at fair value.

 

Convertible notes payable

 

The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, approximated the carrying value as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions and the term of the debt. The level of the debt would be considered as Level 2.

 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from shareholders and obligation pursuant to acquisition approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those item.items.

 

Contingent Consideration

The Company’s contingent consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of performance-based awards issued to certain former owners of the acquired businesses in exchange for future services. Contingent liabilities are valued using significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are defined as Level 3 inputs according to fair value measurement accounting. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent liabilities based on certain milestones of the acquired businesses and estimated probabilities of achievement, then discounts the liabilities to present value. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company satisfied its contingent consideration liability related to the Security Grade Acquisition. The change in the fair value associated with the contingent consideration was $(25,078) and $10,186 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excluded all potential dilutive potential shares if their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common-equivalent shares outstanding. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per share results are not presented in the consolidated financial statements for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and September 30, 20162017 as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of warrants, options, convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

12

The anti-dilutive shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were as follows:

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”(“ASU 2014-09”).The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive newmodel for entities to use in accounting for revenue recognition standard thatarising from contracts with customers and will supersede nearly allmost of the existing revenue recognition guidance, under U.S. GAAP.including industry specific guidance. The standard’s core principle (issued as Accounting Standards Update “ASU”of ASU 2014-09by the FASB), is that a company will recognizean entity recognizes revenue when it transfersto depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the companyentity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These may include identifyingIn applying the new guidance, an entity will: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include incontract; (3) determine the transaction price and allocatingprice; (4) allocate the transaction price to each separatethe contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. In April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU 2016-11,“Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging – Recession of SEC Guidance”,ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”,and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.  These ASUs each affect the guidance of the new revenue recognition standard in ASU 2014-09 and related subsequent ASUs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments” (“ASC 606”) to all contracts which were not completed or expired as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company had no cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while the comparative information will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires most leases (with the exception of leases with terms of less than one year) to be recognized on the balance sheet as an asset and a lease liability. Leases will be classified as an operating lease or a financing lease. Operating leases are expensed using the straight-line method, whereas financing leases will be treated similarly to a capital lease under the current standard. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adoptedpresented using eitherthe modified retrospective method. However, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. The modified retrospective method is applied to all prior reporting periods presented with a full retrospective approach for all periods presentedcumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the earliest comparative period while the optional transition relief method is applied beginning in the period of adoption orwith a modified retrospective approach. cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without adjustment to the financial statements for periods prior to adoption. The Company is still evaluating the method of adoption. While the Company is continuing to assess all potential impacts of the new standard, the Company currently believes the most significant impact relates to its accounting for office space, colocation operating leases, and embedded leases within its supplier contracts.


In August 2015,2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statementof Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization. ASU 2016-15 designates the appropriate cash flow classification, including requirements to allocate certain components of these cash receipts and payments among operating, investing and financing activities. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date2016-18,Statement of ASU 2014-09 by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard asCash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the originalFASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement cash flows. The new standard is effective date. Thisfor fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business.The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350); Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public reporting companies for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018, goodwill was tested for potential impairment. As a result of the goodwill impairment test performed, it was determined that the carrying value for each reporting unit was higher than its fair value. Please refer to Note 9 for further detail.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No 2017-09“Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”(“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity and reduces both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all three of the following are met:

(1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.

(2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

(3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. Note that the current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in ASU 2017-09. ASU 2017-09 is effective for all annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard permitswas adopted by the useCompany on January 1, 2018. The adoption of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is in the process of performing an initial review of custom contracts to determine thethis accounting standard did not have a material impact that ASU 2014-09 and its subsequent updates will have on the Company’sour consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures upon adoption. Based on this preliminary review, the Company believes that the timing and measurement of revenue for these customers will be similar to the current revenue recognition. However, this view is preliminary and could change based on the detailed analysis associated with the conversion and implementation phases of ASU 2014-09. The Company will complete the assessment during 2017, and will include other customers as part of the reviewstatements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception.Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

5.Revenue Recognition

Adoption of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company adopted the new revenue standard, ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts as of January 1, 2018. This method required retrospective application of the new accounting standard to all unfulfilled contracts that were outstanding as of January 1, 2018. Revenues and contract assets and liabilities for contracts completed prior to January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 605.

The Company has determined that there were no adjustments required with respect to the adoption of ASC 606 with respect to any prior periods.

Disaggregation of revenue

  2018  2017  2018  2017 
Types of Revenues:            
Security and Guarding $1,535,638  $1,015,662  $2,629,412  $1,707,399 
Systems Installation  100,699   -   135,263   -

Total revenues $2,212,479  $1,015,662  $3,340,817  $1,707,399 

The following is a description of the principal activities from which we generate our revenue.

Security and Guarding Revenue

Helix provides armed and unarmed guards, as well as armed transportation services. The guards are charged out at an hourly rate, with invoices typically sent to clients shortly after each month-end for the previous month, with revenue being recognized over time as the service has been provided. Transportation services are typically invoiced on a per-run basis, with revenue being recognized over time as the service has been completed.

Systems Installation Revenue

Security systems, including IP CCTV, intrusion alarm systems, perimeter alarm systems, and access controls are installed for clients. Installation jobs are estimated based on the cost of the equipment, the number of man hours expected to complete the work, supplies, travel, and any other ancillary costs. The installation is typically invoiced with 60% of the total price immediately after signing and the balance upon completion of the installation service. The timing of these contracts are short-term in nature and are less than 12 months in duration.

Software

The Company generates revenue from developing and licensing seed to sale cannabis compliance software to both private-sector and public-sector (government agencies) businesses that are involved in cannabis related operations. The Company also generates revenue from on-going training, support and software customization services.

The private-sector software entails cultivation tracking, inventory management, point of sale and analytic reporting to assist businesses in meeting their compliance requirements and effectively manage their businesses. Customers within the private sector are charged an initial one-time installation fee and the revenues associated with these services are recognized upon completion of installation and configuration at a point in time. After the installation and configuration of the software is completed, the customer is invoiced monthly and revenues associated with these services are recognized monthly over a period of time in which the customer continues to use the software and related services.

The public-sector software assists government agencies in efficient oversight of cannabis related business under their jurisdiction. Revenues associated with governmental contracts are longer-term in nature and recognized upon completion of certain milestones over a period of time or on a completed-contract basis at a point in time. The Company considers the contract to be complete when all significant costs have been incurred and the customer accepts the project. Costs incurred prior to the customer accepting the project are deferred and reflected on the Balance Sheet as Work-in-process – Traceability.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in accordance with ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.  Generally, the Company’s contracts include a single performance obligation that is separately identifiable, and therefore, distinct. Under ASC 606, the allocation of transaction price is not necessary if only one performance obligation is identified.


Significant Judgments

Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue, costs and satisfaction of performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and subsequently recognizes revenue, over time, as security and installation services are performed. There were no changes to the significant judgments used by the Company to determine the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations under ASC 606.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contract

The Company’s costs to fulfill or obtain contracts with customers primarily consist of commissions and legal costs. The Company provides sales team members with commissions at 0-6%. Although sales commissions are incremental in nature and are only incurred when a contract is obtained, there is no up-front commission paid on the satisfactory obtainment of a contract, resulting in no sales commissions being capitalized at June 30, 2018. The Company also incurs legal costs relating to the drafting and negotiating of contracts with select customers. Because legal costs are not incremental in nature and are incurred regardless of whether a contract is ultimately obtained, there were no legal costs capitalized as of June 30, 2018. The Company did not record amortization of costs incurred to obtain the contract or any impairment losses for the period ending June 30, 2018.

Therefore, the Company considers the settlement to be an indicator for goodwill impairment testing. Accordingly, at March 30, 2018, goodwill was tested for potential impairment. As a result of the goodwill impairment test performed, it was determined that the carrying value for each reporting unit was higher than its fair value and therefore goodwill was fully impaired, which resulted in a write-off of $664,329 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As part of the BioTrack acquisition, Goodwill in the amount of $39,135,007 was recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Note willFour was to convert into 1,162,500 shares.

Due to the terms of the Amendment, the Company evaluated Note Four under ASC 470-50 to determine if modification or extinguishment treatment was necessary. After performing the analysis under ASC 470-50, it was determined extinguishment treatment was appropriate and the Company should extinguish Note Four and recognize the Amended Note as new debt. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $4,611,395 on Note Four.

 

The Company evaluated the Amended Note and the embedded conversion feature under ASC 815 and determined the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore should not be bifurcated. The Company then evaluated the Amended Note in accordance with ASC 480 and determined that Note Four will be accounted for as a liability measured at fair value. As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of the liability was $500,000.

The calculated value of the beneficial conversion feature and the combined value of the debt discount resulted in a value greater than the value of the debt and as such, the total discount was limited to the value of the debt balance of $183,333. Therefore, the debt discount related to the beneficial conversion featureBCF was in the amount of $144,666. The excess value of the beneficial conversion featureBCF discount was recognized as a loss in earnings and recorded as a component ofan interest expense in the amount of $390,666.$390,666 and will be amortized through Maturity of Note Five.

 

The debt discounts will bewere amortized to interest expense over the life of Note Five.  Amounts amortized to interest expense were approximately $64,603 and $0 for the three months ended September 30,note. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively.  Amounts amortized to interest expense were approximately $183,333 and $0 forJune 30, 2018 the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

18.20.Income Taxes

 

No provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 20162017 consist of income tax loss carryforwards. These amounts are available for carryforward for use in offsetting taxable income of future years through 2035. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period. Utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, these deferred tax assets arising from the future tax benefits are currently not likely to be realized and are thus reduced to zero by an offsetting valuation allowance. As a result, there is no provision for income taxes. 

 

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, the companyCompany has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $5,800,000$8,365,000 and $1,385,000,$4,362,000, respectively.

Convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend

 

The convertible preferred stock beneficial conversion feature accreted as a deemed dividend resulted from the effective conversion price of the Series B preferred shares at issuance being less than the fair value of the common stock into which the preferred shares are convertible. The result was a non-cash charge in the amount of $11,200,845$22,202,194 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 compared to $0$3,155,887 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

 

Going Concern

 

Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include andany adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

32

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we had a cash balance of $130,125,$444,527, net accounts receivable net of $558,141$1,092,095 and $3,243,572$3,157,323 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we willmay need to consider additional funding sources toward the end of fiscal 2017.2018. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses, drive growth in revenue and expeditiously resolve any remaining legal matters.

 

The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty and as to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates are further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on July 07, 2017 and should be read in conjunction with the Original filing on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.4, 2018.


Related Party Transactions

The Company has a loan outstanding from Helix Opportunities, LLC which is 50% owned by our Chief Executive Officer and 50% owned by a director of the Company. The advance does not accrue interest and has no definite repayment terms. The loan balance was $0 as of September 30, 2017. The Company has an additional loan outstanding from a Company executive. The advance does not accrue interest and has no definite repayment terms. The loan balance was $102,000$65,250 and $124,750 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

On March 11, 2016, the Company entered into an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Five”) with Paul Hodges, a Director of the Company (the “Related Party Holder”). The Related Party Holder provided the Company with $150,000 in cash, and the Company promised to pay the principal amount, together with interest at an annual rate of 7%, with principal and accrued interest on Note Five due and payable on December 31, 2017 (unless converted under terms and provisions as set forth below). The principal balance of Note Five was convertible at the election of the Related Party Holder, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at a forty percent (40%) discount to the average market closing price for the previous five (5) trading days, preceding the date of conversion election. The Company evaluated Note Five in accordance with ASC 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that Note Five will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

On February 20, 2018, Helix TCS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to amend the Convertible Promissory Note (this “Amendment”) with the Related Party Holder initially issued to such Holder and dated March 2016 (the “Note”). The Company and Holder desire to extend the maturity date of the Note to August 20, 2018.

The Note is hereby amended as follows. The Company promises to pay (i) all accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount through December 31, 2017 and (ii) $25,000 in principal within 5 business days of the date of this Amendment. The Company agrees to issue 15,000 shares of restricted Company common stock as an inducement for this amendment within 10 business days of the date of this Amendment. The principal amount of the note will be reduced to $125,000. Unless extended by the Company, converted or prepaid earlier, all unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable on August 20, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). All provisions related to conversion of the Note into equity securities of the Company were terminated as part of this Amendment.

As of February 20, 2018, the fair value of the liability was $239,343; however, due to termination of the conversion of the note into equity securities, Note Five will be valued in its principal amount of $125,000 and accordingly the Company recorded a credit regarding the change in fair value of $0 and charge of $43,696 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $118,506 and $56,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The interest expense associated with Note Five was $0 and $2,618 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,402 and $5,178 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures 

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer who(who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer doesand Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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 problems or acts of fraud, if any, within the 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosureinternal controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the end of the interim period covered by this report.report established inInternal ControlIntegrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. The evaluation of our disclosureinternal controls and procedures included a review of the disclosureinternal controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. 

In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Based on that evaluation, management, hasincluding our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 due to the continuing existence of material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting described below.

34

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls 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.


Management has determined that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 due to the existence of the following material weaknesses identified by management:

 

 The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we lacked personnel with accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.

 

 Inadequate segregation of duties.

 

We expect to be materially dependent on a third party that can provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future. We believe that we are in the process of addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting and we are developing specific action plans for each of the above material weaknesses. Because the remedial actions require hiring of additional personnel, upgrading certain of our information technology systems and relying extensively on manual review and approval, the successful operation of these controls for at least several quarters may be required before management may be able to conclude that the material weaknesses have been remediated. We intend to continue to evaluate and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish adequate internal control over financial reporting, we may encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to comply with our SEC reporting obligations.

 

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because we are a “smaller reporting company.” Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report. 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Occasionally, we may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. We record a provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

 

Other than as described below, thereThere is currently no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self- regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material effect on the Company.Company, with the exception of:

 

Baker, et al. v. Helix TCS, Inc.

 

On March 8, 2017, two former employees filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Colorado Wage Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees. On April 3, 2017, we moved to dismiss the complaint. As of June 30, 2018, the claim is currently in the process of discovery.

 

Kenney, et al. v. Helix TCS, Inc.

 

On July 20, 2017 one former employee filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees.

 

At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of the lawsuits,lawsuit, any possible loss or possible range of loss associated with the lawsuitslawsuit or any potential effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. However, the Company believes the lawsuit areis wholly without merit and will defend itself from these claims vigorously.

Helix TCS, Inc. v. Beckett, et al.

On March 6, 2018 the Company filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the city and county of Denver alleging violations in previously disclosed representations and warranties by the plaintiff as part of the Security Grade acquisition. Following the appointment of a registered Pubic Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) auditor, certain financial misrepresentations, including undisclosed liabilities, the overstatement of revenues, and the misclassification of certain revenues as being recurring, were discovered, ultimately artificially inflating the price of the membership interests in Security Grade.

At this time, the Company has entered a declaration surrounding their right of setoff against one or more of the sellers pursuant in the terms of the Master Interest Purchase Agreement. The Company cannot currently predict the outcome of the lawsuit.
