NOTE 1 – BASIS2—SUMMARY OF PRESENTATIONSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all of our majority-owned subsidiaries, companies over which we exercise control through majority voting rights, and companies in which we have a variable interest and we are the primary beneficiary. We account for our investments in common stock of other companies that we do not control, but over which we can exert significant influence using the cost method.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Theseour wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., CirTran Corporation (Utah), LBC Products, Inc., and CirTran - Asia, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., and Racore Network have been excluded from the financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2019 due to the dissolution of these entities during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Beverage Corp., CirTran Products Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., CirTran Corporation (Utah), CirTran - Asia, Inc., and Racore Network, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been prepared in accordance with Article 10eliminated.

Use of Regulation S-X promulgated byEstimates

In preparing the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“GAAP”FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have been condenseda significant impact on our financial statements. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or omitted pursuantservices to such rulescustomers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and regulations. These statements shouldany taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid, short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be readcash equivalents. We did not hold any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019, or December 31, 2018.

Investment in conjunctionSecurities

Our cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $300,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As we owned less than 20% of that company’s stock as of each date, and no significant influence or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined there was none during the periods presented.

Property and Equipment

We incur certain costs associated with the Company’s annual financial statementsdesign and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products. The capitalized cost, net of accumulated depreciation, associated with molds and dies included in property and equipment at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $10,346 and $12,065, respectively.

Depreciation expense is recognized in amounts equal to the Company’s Annual Reportcost of depreciable assets over estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals, which neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on Form 10-Kdispositions of property and equipment are included in operating results.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. We did not record expenses for the impairment of long-lived assets during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Financial Instruments with Derivative Features

We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a Multinomial Lattice model. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each reporting period.

During the year ended December 31, 2013. In particular,2017, our common stock was suspended from trading. Because of this, the Company’s significantconvertible note no longer met the criteria to bifurcate the instrument under FASB ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, we determined the underlying common stock of the instruments being accounted for as derivative liabilities had no value. As a result, the fair value of the derivative liabilities, as of the date our common stock was no longer available to trade, was written off to additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 815-15-35-4. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we became current with our filing requirements with the SEC and FINRA approved our common stock to continue trading during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Accordingly, we recorded derivative liabilities as of the date our stock resumed trading, or September 13, 2019, and revalued the liability as of September 30, 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have outstanding stock options to directors and employees, which are described more fully inNote 11Stock Options and Warrants. We account for our stock options in accordance with ASC 718-10,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as updated, which requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically the vesting period). There was no impact to our methodology for accounting policies were presentedfor equity based compensation as Note 2 toa result of adoptingASU 2018-07.

Stock-based employee compensation was $800 and $480 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of our debt obligations approximate fair value.

ASC 820-10-15,Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that Annual Report. Inprioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Level 1—Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the opinionasset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3—Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of management, all adjustments necessary for athe fair presentationvalue of the assets or liabilities.

Accounts payable and related-party payables have been includedfair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured using level 3 inputs.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. There were 133,107,973 potentially issuable shares from the conversions of convertible debentures outstanding which were excluded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statementsdilutive outstanding shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative2019 due to the anti-dilutive effect these would have on net loss per share. There were no such shares issuable as of the results that may be expected for the 12 months ending December 31, 2014.September 30, 2018.

 

Short-term Advances

We have short-term advances with various individuals. These advances are due upon demand, carry no interest, and are not collateralized. These advances are classified as short-term liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Reclassification of Prior Year Information

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2018 to present $125,088 of short term advances payable which were previously presented as short term advances payable from related parties.

NOTE 2 –3—GOING CONCERN AND REALIZATION OF ASSETS

In October 2016, we lost our ability to continue energy drink distribution, our principal source of revenue, after receiving an unfavorable ruling in our suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc.

 

The accompanying condensedunaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared onin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the assumption that the Company will continueUnited States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. The CompanyWe had a working capital deficiency of $38,112,928 and $36,653,372 as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, and a net loss from operations of $1,083,786$709,453 and net income of $1,070,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,371,759. In addition, the Company had cash provided by operations in the amount of $36,917$637,100 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014,2019 and cash provided by operations in the amount of $224,166 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company also had a negative working capital deficit balance of $23,988,375 as2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2014,2019, and $22,934,058 as of December 31, 2013.2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $78,524,975 and $77,710,520, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’sOur ability to continue energy drink distribution, its principal source of revenue,as a going concern is subjectdependent upon our ability to interruption or termination because of ongoing disputes respecting the status of the Play Beverages, LLC, or PlayBev, license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks. The Company is continuing its suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., or Playboy, in Illinois in an effort to enjoin Playboy’s termination of the license so the Company will be able to continue its beverage distribution segment. If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily through a negotiated settlement or litigation in such proceeding, PlayBev would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the principal source of the Company’s revenues. Such termination may require the Company to cease its activities and seek protection from creditors.

In view of the matterssuccessfully accomplish our business plan described in the precedingfollowing paragraphs recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its futureeventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that mightmay be necessary should the Company beif we are unable to continue in existence.as a going concern.

The Company believes

In the coming year, our foreseeable cash requirements will relate to development of business operations and associated expenses. We may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

Historically, we have mostly relied upon shareholder loans and advances to finance operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings, if any, or through future public or private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors, although we cannot assure that its beverage business segment has the potentialwe will be able to obtain such financing. Our failure to do so could have a substantial impact on its overall business. The Company plans to focus on the beverage businessmaterial and the contract manufacturing business. For the beverage business, the Company plans to sell existing productsadverse effect upon us and develop new products under the license agreement with Playboy to a globally expanding market. With regard to contract manufacturing, the Company’s goal is to provide customers with manufacturing solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations.

The Company provides product marketing services to the direct response and retail markets for both proprietary and nonproprietary products. This segment provides campaign management and marketing services for the beverage distribution, direct response, and retail markets. The Company intends to continue to provide marketing and media services to support its own product efforts and offer to customers marketing service in channels involving television, radio, print media, and the Internet. The Company intends to serve the electronics assembly and manufacturing industries, although it anticipates that its focus will shift more to providing services on a subcontract basis.our shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sublease, the Company agreed to sublease a certain portion of the Company’s premises to Katana, consisting of the warehouse and office space used as of the close of business on March 4, 2010. The term of the Sublease was for two months with automatic renewal periods of one month each. The base rent under the Sublease is $8,500 per month.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESLitigation and Claims

 

Litigation and Claims - Various vendors, and service providers, and others have notified the Companyasserted legal claims in previous years. These creditors generally are not actively seeking collection of amounts due them, and we have determined that they believe they have claims against the Company totaling approximately $2,250,000. The Company has determined the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote. The Company has made no accrualremote and will seek to compromise and settle at a deep discount any of such claims that are asserted for these claims and is currentlycollection. These amounts are included in the process of negotiating the dismissal of these claims.

Registration Rights Agreements - In connection with the Company’s issuance of convertible debentures to YA Global Investments, L.P., formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“YA Global”), the Company granted to YA Global certain registration rights, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures. The Company agreed to keep the registration statement effective until all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentureour current liabilities. We have been sold. The Company has not accrued aany liability for potential losses.claims or judgments that we have determined to be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which generally is eight years for judgments in Utah.

Noble Gate

 

Previously, YA Global had agreed to extensions of the filing deadlines inherent in the terms of the convertible debentures mentioned above. On January 24, 2011, the Company and YA Global entered intoIn September 2015, we obtained a forbearance agreement related to the convertible debentures issued by the Company to YA Global or its predecessor entities.

YA Global Forbearance Agreements - As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an outstanding Convertible Debenture (as defined below) issued to YA Global Investments, L.P., formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“YA Global”), with an aggregate outstanding balance of $2,390,528, including accrued interest of $748,291, which was then in default.

The terms of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Debenture are governed by a February 22, 2013, Ratification Agreement with YA Global (the “Ratification Agreement”). Under this Ratification Agreement, the Company ratified the obligations under three existing convertible debentures dated May 26, 2005, December 30, 2005, and August 23, 2006, and agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the obligations evidenced thereby into the single Convertible Debenture.

Under the Ratification Agreement and Convertible Debenture payment schedule, the Company was required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal,judgment in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013. The convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares$287,000 against Noble Gate Industrial, a former authorized distributor of the Company’s common stock atPlayboy-branded energy drink. We believe the lowest bid pricejudgment is uncollectible and have not undertaken collection efforts in view of our analysis of the costs of collection as compared to any likely recovery. No gain has been recorded for the 20 trading days prior to conversion ($0.0002 as of December 31, 2013). The amount of its required monthly cash payment would be reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the balance due under the debentures into common stock, as provided in the original convertible debentures as well as in the Convertible Debenture. Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month would be credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month, with the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest due on January 31, 2014.

During 2013, a total of $1,284,412 was credited against required payments due YA Global for the conversion of indebtedness to common stock. Since 2009, the Company has not had insufficient funds to pay cash to YA Global and has had to rely exclusively on the conversion of the obligation to common stock. However, no further conversions can be effected because the Company has insufficient authorized but unissued common stock. Based on the prevailing market price for its common stock, which has ranged from a high bid of $0.0006 to a low bid of $0.0002 during the past six months, the terms of the Convertible Debenture would require a conversion price of $0.001 per share, which is lower than the per-share par value, so the Company would be obligated to issue shares at $0.001 par value. The Convertible Debenture provides that the holder cannot convert indebtedness to common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Sales of common stock that would reduce the holder’s ownership would enable the holder to convert additional amounts due under the Convertible Debenture.

The obligation under the Company’s Convertible Debentures is secured by liens and security interests in all of the Company’s assets, so the continuation of the Company is dependent of meeting this obligation. If YA Global were to exercise its collection remedies and execute on its collateral, it could take all of the Company’s assets and leave nothing for other creditors or shareholders.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not issue any common stock against the required payments.periods presented.

Loss Per ShareNOTE 14—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. The Company had 3,210,783,000 and 3,186,357,000 in potentially issuable common shares at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. These potentially issuable common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effects were antidilutive.

Overview

 

We manufacture, market,Until October 2016, we manufactured, marketed, and distributedistributed internationally an energy drink under a license now in dispute, with Playboy Enterprises, Inc. (“Playboy”), orthrough our subsidiary, CirTran Beverage Corporation (“CirTran Beverage”). CirTran Beverage manufactured, marketed, and distributed Playboy-branded energy drinks in accordance with its agreement with Play Beverages, LLC (“PlayBev”), which held the Playboy license. Disputes arose with Playboy that resulted in litigation that was finally resolved adverse to us in late 2018. The pending Playboy litigation forced us to significantly restrict our activities and insubstantially impaired our ability to establish new distributors, damaged our relationships with existing distributors, and considerably depressed revenues.

As the U.S.Playboy litigation reached resolution, we accelerated our efforts to seek to commercialize consumer products and provide a mix of high- and medium-volume turnkey manufacturing services and products using various high-tech applications for leading electronics OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and semiconductor industries. Our servicesWe expect our business activities may include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, and post-manufacturing services. Our goal is to offerprovide potential customers with total manufacturing solutions through third-party providers for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations.

On February 19, 2019, we filed articles of dissolution for CirTran Media Corp with the significant competitive advantagesstate of Utah. Additionally, articles of dissolution were filed with the state of Utah on February 20, 2019 for CirTran Beverage Corp. A certificate of cancellation was filed for Play Beverages with the state of Delaware on February 21, 2019. Additionally, a certificate of dissolution was filed for Racore Network on March 11, 2019. Lastly, CirTran Corporation (Utah) was dissolved on August 13, 2019. All dissolutions were confirmed by the prospective states where they were filed within few days of filing.

Our renewed and accelerated efforts led to an April 2019 exclusive arrangement to manufacture, market, and distribute worldwide a nonalcoholic energy drink and other beverages, electronic cigarettes and cigars, condoms, and other products for an unaffiliated company that canhas licensing agreement memorandums signed with an unaffiliated licensor. The licensor is a privately held, well-capitalized, U.S. firm with international retail and publishing operations, under the licensor’s well-established lifestyle private label. The names of the trademark owner-licensor and licensee are confidential pending the completion of trademark product category filings in additional worldwide markets and finalizing definitive agreements. See current report on Form 8-K filed April 22, 2019. This exclusive distribution agreement encompasses mass market, specialty, drug, supermarket, military, club stores, direct response, mail order, pharmacies, casinos, clubs, convenience stores, retail, internet, news/kiosks, vending machines, airport, and duty-free distribution channels. Under our arrangement, we will manufacture and distribute products and will receive a royalty based on manufacturing and marketing expenditures.

The licensee will be obtainedobligated to pay the licensor a 6% royalty fee on all sales, with advance royalties due upon signing the definitive agreements and guaranteed royalties due over the next four years. The licensee intends to fund any minimum royalty payments and budged product rollout costs with capital raised from manufacture outsourcing.private investors.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2%2018, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $83,922 and $105,068, respectively, representing a decrease of total revenue$21,146, or 20%, in the current period. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses is the result of one time professional fees recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that did not recur in the current period.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019, consisted of $187,546 in interest expense, losses on the fair value measurement of derivative liabilities of $7,431 and other income of $204. Other expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2018, included $120,004 for interest expense and other income of $22,500. The increase in interest expense in the current period is related to the recognition of $56,338 of debt discounts which were not present during the same period in 2018. The decrease in other income in the current period is due to one time forgiveness of accounts payable which was present during the prior year and not occurring during the current period.

Comparison of the Three Months and Nine months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013Operating Expenses

Sales and Cost of Sales

Gross profit decreased to $193,906 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $534,126 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Gross profit decreased to $1,013,104 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $2,031,007 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to the disruption we experienced in 2013 and into 2014 with the unexpected bankruptcy proceedings initiated against PlayBev, the continuing uncertainty created by Playboy in relation to the interference with our beverage distributors, and our defenses against numerous lawsuits. Net sales in the contract manufacturing segment decreased $501 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. Beverage distribution revenue decreased to $200,871 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $657,860 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Net sales in the contract manufacturing segment increased $91,247 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. Beverage distribution revenue decreased to $951,524 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $2,565,491 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was driven by reductions in product sales and royalty revenues, as well as less recognition of deferred revenue. During each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and 2013, we recognized no revenue from prepayments under contracts that were in default and/or were terminated due to nonperformance.

Cost of sales, including royalty expense, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 3% from 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and decreased to 19% from 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Consequently, the gross profit margin increased to 92% from 77%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin is attributable to an increase in revenues from royalty agreements that have an overall lower cost and the settlement of royalty expense contracts during 2013.

The following charts present comparisons of sales, cost of sales, and gross profits generated by our two operating segments, beverage distribution and contract manufacturing, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

The decrease in other income in the current period is due to one time forgiveness of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This was a result of settling accounts payable which was present during the prior year and accrued liabilities with various vendors.

As a result of these factors, our overall net loss decreased to $102,845 fornot occurring during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to net loss of $192,526 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2014, we owed $2,165,321 to various investors from whom we had borrowed funds in the form of either unsecured or short-term advances.

CapitalAnticipated Requirements

In conjunction withOur regular monthly operating costs and interest expense average approximately $90,000 per month, excluding capital expenditures and expanded costs to support our new contract manufacturing and distribution activities as discussed above.

Our existing personnel will be primarily involved in negotiating definitive agreements for our new contract manufacturing and distribution activities and finalizing a short list of potential manufacturers for each of the product categories—beverages, tobacco products, and condoms. We do not expect to incur significant additional costs for these efforts, although we may incur some increased costs for travel and professional support during this phase.

As we develop and prepare to launch our new efforts, we expect that initially we will ship products to the brand licensor for stocking its own several dozen brick and mortar stores and online distribution network. We will seek order advance payments to fund any manufacturing deposits that may be required. Based on our previous experience, we expect these types of arrangements will likely be successful based on the name recognition, reputation, and financial stability of the brand licensor. As production and distribution activities commence, we expect to require additional operating and administrative personnel, although at this juncture we cannot reliably predict the scope of this expansion or the related cost. We may need to seek external company funding, for which we have no arrangements or commitments. Any limitations on available funding will curtail our efforts to improvelaunch this line of business.

As our resultsmanufacturing and distribution volume grows, as we expect, later in 2019 and into early 2020, we anticipate adding qualified employees to assume specific manufacturing management, sales support, and administrative and clerical services as required, all of operations, we are also actively seeking infusions of capital from investors and are seeking sources to repay our existing convertible debentures. In our current financial condition and with ongoing activities substantially dependentwhich depend on the outcomelevel of future growth, which we cannot predict. During this period, we may also seek to establish foreign distribution in selected markets, which will depend on the Playboy litigation, itnature and location of distribution outlets, anticipated market size, product shipping costs and logistics, sales opportunities, and management details. Initial market focuses are likely to be in Europe. Depending on the specific characteristics of particular markets, we may initiate efforts to develop international manufacturing relationships for some products, such as beverages, for which shipping is unlikelya significant component of price of delivered goods. Again, additional funding from external sources will likely be required.

In addition to seeking funding for our expansion requirements through collaborative order advances and similar arrangements with our customers, we expect that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing. Even if we did acquire additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets. Accordingly, we are looking to obtainseek equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining such capital. If we were to issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this willwould dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders’stockholders’ positions.

Convertible Debentures

We currently have an amended, restated, and consolidated secured convertible debenture with Tekfine, LLC, an unrelated entity, with a maturity date of April 30, 2027, to the extent not previously converted. The amended debenture had a total outstanding principal balance of $2.4 million, with accrued interest of $1.3 million as of September 30, 2019. We also have a $200,000 convertible debenture with a maturity date of October 20, 2018 and two separate $25,000 convertible debentures with a maturity dates of June 3, 2020 and August 9, 2020, unless earlier converted. Each additional convertible debenture is with Tekfine. The convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $100 or the lowest bid price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion. As of the date of this report, we are unable to convert this debenture in full because we have insufficient authorized but unissued shares to issue upon conversion. As of September 30, 2019, there were 95,500,081 common shares available to issue while the outstanding principal and interest on the convertible debentures would yield a total of 133,107,973 common shares if converted in full.

 

We cannot assureGoing Concern

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that weadequate sources of financing will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financingobtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the future orordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short- or the long-term. Ifmight be necessary should we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we willnot be unable to meet our obligations as they become due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Convertible DebenturesOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had an outstanding Convertible Debenture with an aggregate outstanding balance of $2,390,528 as of September 30, 2014, including accrued interest of $748,291. We have entered into forbearance agreements following our previous defaults in payments in order to obtain extended payment terms. Under our most recent agreement reached with the lender in the second quarter of 2013, we were required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal, in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013. The amount of our required monthly cash payments is reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the lender against the obligation as a result of the lender’s exercise of the right to convert the outstanding balance due under the debentures into common stock. Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month is credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we did not issue any common stock against the required monthly payments because we had insufficient authorized but unissued common stock. Based on the prevailing market price for our common stock, which has ranged from a high bid of $0.0006 to a low bid of $0.0002 during the past six months, the terms of the Consolidated Debenture would require a conversion price of $0.001 per share, which is lower than the per-share par value, so we would be obligated to issue shares at $0.001 par value. As of September 30, 2014, we had only 81,016 authorized but unissued shares. The Consolidated Debenture provides that the holder cannot convert indebtedness to common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. We are seeking shareholder authorization of a recapitalization of the Company to provide additional shares to issue on conversion of the Convertible Debenture but cannot assure whether the stockholders will approve such amendment.

In the absence of an amendment to our articles to provide sufficient shares to issue on conversion of the Convertible Debenture, we would be required to pay the debenture in cash. The amount of cash required to meet our payment obligations under the Convertible Debenture will depend on the lender’s decision to convert amounts to common stock, which will in turn depend on the trading market prices and volumes for our common stock, over which we have no control.off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting EstimatesPolicies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to our December 31, 2018 financial statements. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We cannot assure that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized when productsnet of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are shipped. Title passessubsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have outstanding stock options to directors and employees. We account for our stock options in accordance with ASC 718-10,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and ASU 201-07,Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,which requires the customer or independent sales representative atrecognition of the time of shipment. Returns for defective items are repaired and sent back to the customer. Historically, expenses associated with returns have not been significant and have been recognized as incurred.

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

We sold our Salt Lake City, Utah, buildingemployee services received in a sale/leaseback transactionexchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and reported the gainis measured based on the sale as deferred revenuegrant date fair value of the award. ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the term of lease pursuantperiod during which an employee is required to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 840-10, Accountingprovide service in exchange for Leases. The lease agreement was terminated during 2011 and the remainder ofaward, typically the deferred revenue was recognized upon this termination event.

We have entered into a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement with PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, whereby we are the vendor of record in providing initial development, promotional, marketing, and distribution services. Accordingly, all amounts billed to PlayBev in connection with the development and marketing of its new energy drink have been eliminated in consolidation.vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carry forward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Research tax credits are recognized as used.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of our debt obligations approximate fair value.

ASC 820-10-15,Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. FASB ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Level 1:Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3:Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative Featuresliabilities are measured using level 3 inputs. The following assumptions were made in valuing derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2019:

Volatility  89.1% - 94.9% 
Rick Free Rates  1.70% - 1.78% 
Stock price $0.0301 
Remaining life  0.50 - 7.58 years

WeRecently issued accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that require adoption and that do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, werequire adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes model. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter.statements upon adoption.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

WeAs of September 30, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer,chief executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2014.procedures. Based on ourupon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer hasmanagement concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2014, due to the fact that the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, had not been remediated as of September 30, 2014.2019, to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods prescribed by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

These weaknesses

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are continuing. Managementresource constraints and the Boardbenefits of Directors are awarecontrols must be considered relative to their costs. Because of these weaknessesthe inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that resultall control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of limited resourcessimple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and staff. Efforts tothere can be no assurance that any design and implement controls and processes have been put on hold due to limited resources, but we anticipate a renewed focus on this effortwill succeed in the near future. Due to our limited financial and managerial resources, we cannot assure when we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting.achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There washas been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred induring the third quarter of 2014nine months ended September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
