Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

JuneSeptember 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 3, 1986, under the name AOA Corporation. On November 12, 1991, the Company changed its name to American Eagle Group, Inc. On October 22, 2012, the Company changed its name to “Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.”

 

Unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise stated, references to “our Company,” “Pacific Ventures,” “PACV,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar references refer to Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Our Company

 

We strive to be one of America’s great meat processors and a leading foodservice distributor in the Southwest. Built through organic growth and acquisitions, we trace our roots back over 30 years to a few heritage companies with long legacies in food innovation and customer service.

 

We strive to inspire and empower chefs and foodservice operators to bring great food experiences to consumers. This mission is supported by our strategy of Best Foods at Best Prices which is centered on providing customers with the innovative products business support they need to operate their businesses profitably.

 

We supply approximately 400300 customer locations in the Southwest. These customer locations include independently owned single and multi-unit restaurants, regional restaurant chains, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels and motels, country clubs, government and military organizations, colleges, and universities. We provide more than 3,0001,500 fresh, frozen, and dry food stock-keeping units, or SKUs, as well as non-food items, sourced from multiple suppliers. Our sales associates manage customer relationships at local and regional levels. Our distribution facilities and fleet of approximately 15 trucks allow us to operate efficiently and provide high levels of customer service.

 

Our Industry

 

America’s food distribution industry has many companies competing in the space, including local, regional, and national foodservice distributors. Foodservice distributors typically fall into three categories, representing differences in customer focus, product offering, and supply chain:

 

 Broadline distributors which offer a “broad line” of products and services;
  
 System distributors which carry products specified for large chains; and
  
 Specialized distributors which primarily focus on specific product categories (e.g., meat or produce) or customer types.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

Our Best Foods at Best Prices strategy is built on a differentiation focus in product assortment, customer experience and innovation. Through this strategy, we also serve our customers as consultants and business partners, bringing our customers personalized solutions and tailoring a suite of innovative products and services to fit each customer’s needs.

 5

 

The Best Foods Portion of our strategy features more than 500 products that are sustainably sourced or contribute to waste reduction. Our private brand portfolio is guided by a spirit of innovation and a commitment to delivering superior quality products and value to customers. While we offer products under a spectrum of private brands, and at different price points, all are designed to deliver quality, performance, and value to our customers.

 

Best Prices is aimed at providing operators reliability and flexibility in our service model supported by tools and resources to support them in running their businesses. This means on-time and complete orders and customer choice via the multi-channel offering we must serve our customers.

 

Acquisitions have also historically played an important role in supporting the execution of our growth strategy.

 

Products and Brands

 

We have a broad assortment of products and brands designed to meet customers’ needs. In many categories, we offer products under a spectrum of private brands based on price and quality covering a range of values and qualities.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the Company, Snöbar Holdings, San Diego Farmers Outlet, Seaport Meat Company, MGD, IPIC and the Trust, which was established to hold IPIC, which in turn holds liquor licenses. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated during consolidation. See the discussion in Note 1 above for variable interest entity treatment of the Trust and IPIC.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps be followed to recognize revenue: (1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criteria standards as to composition and substance is identified; (2) performance obligations relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction price, with consideration given to any variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer with consideration given, whether that control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on our management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.

 

Unearned Revenue

 

Certain amounts are received pursuant to agreements or contracts and may only be used in the conduct of specified transactions, or the related services are yet to be performed. These amounts are recorded as unearned or deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue in the year/period the related expenses are incurred, or services are performed. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company has $ 0.0 in deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2022, the Company also had $ 0.0 deferred revenue.

 

6
 

Leases

 

ASC 842, Leases, was required to be adopted for all financial years beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires long term leases (longer than 12 month) to be capitalized with a corresponding liability for the term of the lease and expensed over that term. Currently the Company has 21 long-term leases SDFO &lease Seaport Meat Company.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company’s shipping costs are all recorded as operating expenses for all periods presented.

 

Disputed Liabilities

 

The Company may from time to time be involved in a variety of disputes, claims, and proceedings concerning its business operations and certain liabilities. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company has $0 in disputed liabilities on its balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In JuneSeptember 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a resultbecause of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets”, which permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions”, which specifies that, for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a drop-down transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted.

In JuneSeptember 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Our company adopted this pronouncement.

In JuneSeptember 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements which are not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

 

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined these have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $2,216,8582,169,092 for the six (6)nine (9) months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and has an accumulated deficit of $31,181,61731,133,851 as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023.

 

In order toTo continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is significantly dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or additional debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

10

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) which are not historical in nature are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “target,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecast,” “mission,” “strive,” “more,” “goal,” or similar expressions and are based upon various assumptions and our experience in the industry, as well as historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments. However, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and there are several risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, among others:

 

 any declines in the consumption of food prepared away from home;
 the extent and duration of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us;
 cost inflation/deflation and commodity volatility;
 competition;
 reliance on third-party suppliers and interruption of product supply or increases in product costs;
 changes in our relationships with customers and group purchasing organizations;
 our ability to increase or maintain the highest margin portions of our business;
 effective integration of acquired businesses;
 achievement of expected benefits from cost savings initiatives;
 increases in fuel costs;
 economic factors affecting consumer confidence and discretionary spending;
 changes in consumer eating habits;
 reputation in the industry;
 labor relations and costs and continued access to qualified and diverse labor;
 cost and pricing structures;
 changes in tax laws and regulations and resolution of tax disputes;
 environmental, health and safety and other government regulation, including actions taken by national, state and local governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, such as travel restrictions or bans, social distancing requirements, and required closures of non-essential businesses;
 product recalls and product liability claims;
 adverse judgments or settlements resulting from litigation;
 disruption of existing technologies and implementation of new technologies;
 cybersecurity incidents and other technology disruptions;
 management of retirement benefits and pension obligations;
 extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, and other catastrophic events, including pandemics and the rapid spread of contagious illnesses;
 risks associated with intellectual property, including potential infringement;
  indebtedness and restrictions under agreements governing indebtedness; and
 interest rate increases.

 

We caution that the factors described herein, and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited financial statements for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and 2022, include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in these audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand the Company, our financial condition and results of operations and our present business environment. It should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion and analysis containscontain certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We believe these non- GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and liquidity.

 

COVID-19

 

Should the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the response thereto, result in continuing long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to maintain or expand our business could be negatively impacted. However, we are unable to make any prediction in this regard.

 

Inflation

 

During 2022, inflation became a significant negative factor in our operations, and it continues to be a significant pressure on our ability to operate at a profit. Since Spring 2022, food costs have increased dramatically, and our margins have been reduced. These inflationary pressures continue to impact our operations. However, given the current economic volatility, we are unable to predict with certainty how our operating results will be impacted by inflation during the remainder of 2023 and the first half of 2024.

 

Operating Metrics

 

Case growth—Case growth, by customer type (e.g., independent restaurants) is reported as of a point in time. Customers periodically are reclassified, based on changes in size or other characteristics, and when those changes occur, the respective customer’s historical volume follows its new classification.

 

Organic growth—Organic growth includes growth from operating business that has been reflected in our results of operations for at least 12 months.

 

Strategy

 

During the first sixnine months of 2023, the Company’s strategy has been focused on:

 

 incrementally increase sales and profitability of San Diego Farmers Outlet (SDFO) and Seaport Meat Company.
 Reduce expenditures for San Diego Farmers Outlet by consolidating operations with Seaport Meat Company
 acquisition of food production or distribution companies that are synergistic with SDFO and Seaport Meat Company.

 

Seaport is looking to improve the current processing line and add and upgrade to a more efficient and automated processing line. This will allow Seaport to operate more efficiently and reduce the amount of overtime hours on the production line. Seaport plans to increase its customer base.

 

16
 16

 

We plan to grow SDFO’s wholesale business by expanding its delivery territory from 40 miles to a 75-mile radius and add to the current fleet of delivery trucks. The Company has already begun marketing to new restaurants in the area, most notably Asian and Italian restaurants, and have let restaurants know that SDFO can deliver the finest produce in market.

 

We plan to relaunch Snöbar production and distribution by partnering with third-party manufacturers and co-packers, and with third-party distributors that can sell Snöbar products to high-end restaurants, resorts, cruise lines and hotels worldwide. Initially, the focus will be on establishing major accounts in four core markets consisting of Southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Miami. The larger vision is to sell products in grocery stores such as Kroger, Wal-Mart and others, and thereafter to begin a national marketing program to all U.S. retailers. It is essentially a top-down marketing plan where products are placed with the largest retailer then trickle down to the smallest seller in each market area

 

We plan to grow through acquisitions of similar meat and food processing/distributing companies located within the Southwest. Our company has identified and are currently speaking with a few key opportunities.

 

We plan to acquire food production and distribution businesses that will help the Company grow its food, beverage and alcohol-related products businesses. We continue to engage in preliminary discussions with potential investors in order to properly fund potential acquisitions, however, there are no assurances that the required funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in this Quarterly Report and in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein, we have incurred operating losses, and as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we have accumulated deficit of $31,181,617$31,133,851 and $28,971,411, respectively. At JuneAs of September 30, 2023, we had a negativepositive cash position and a working capital deficiency of $9,322,354.$8,641,552. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating operating cash flow and raising capital sufficient to fund operations. Our business strategy may not be successful in funding ongoing operations and accelerating our domestic and international expansion, and if we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us.

 

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

 

Our plan is to achieve meaningful sales revenue from the sale of the SDFO and Seaport Meat Company products to meet our operating needs. It is also unlikely that we will be able to satisfy all of our obligations to pay interest and repay principal due and payable within the next 12 months under the various forms of our outstanding debt. Although we have been able to extend the maturity dates as well as repayment terms of a substantial amount of such debt, there is no assurance that we will be able to further extend such repayments or maturity dates to avoid a default, as such further extension depends on the consent of the holders of such debt. If we are unable to make such payments and repayments and unable to extend and delay required payments or maturities of such debt, the holders of such debt will have the right to take legal action seeking enforcement of the debt. If any legal action is taken against us, we would face the risk of having to deplete our limited cash resources to defend against such suit or face the entry of a default judgment. In either event, such action would have grave impact on our operations. Our ability to continue operations will be dependent upon the successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the support of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful, which would in turn significantly affect our ability to be successful in our new business plan. If not, we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $9,322,354$8,641,552 consisting of $2,125$151,555 in cash or cash equivalents overdraft, $751,074$992,519 in accounts receivable, $1,176,481$1,360,163 in inventory, $205,379$187,579 in other assets and $16,845 in deposits, offset by accounts payable of $4,804,194,$5,285,315, accrued expenses of $1,734,552,$1,732,352, equipment of $15,126,$12,053, current portion of notes payable of $4,745,135$4,167,463 and $171,000$153,000 in other current liabilities.

 

For the sixnine months period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company provided $280,853$1,059,152 of cash in operating activities, had used $219provided $5,693 in cash for investing activities and used $542,698$1,173,227 cash from financing activities, resulting in a decrease in total cash of $262,064$108,382, and a negative cash balance of $2,125$151,555 for the period.

The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,216,858$2,169,092 for the sixnine months period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, largely due the increase in operating expenses, and increase in interest. During the sixnine months period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $31,181,617.$31,133,851. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Changes in the composition of our Notes Payable and Notes Payable-Related Parties are presented in the table below:

 

 As of June 30, 2023  As of Dec 31, 2022  As of September 30, 2023 As of Dec 31, 2022 
 $ Current  $ Long-Term  $ Current  $ Long Term  $ Current $ Long-Term $ Current $ Long Term 
Notes Payable  595,912   15,791,972   469,176   14,879,353   408,140   16,308,060   469,176   14,879,353 
                                
Notes Payable - Related  -   -         
Notes Payable – Related  -   -         
 $595,912  $15,791,972  $469,176  $14,879,353  $408,140  $16,308,060  $469,176  $14,879,353 

 

Total Notes Payable for related and unrelated parties increased by $1,039,355$1,367,671 from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, from $15,348,529 to $16,387,884$16,716,200 in the sixnine months period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, total stockholders’ equity deficit increased to $21,852,152$21,793,187 from $19,848,897 as of December 31, 2022. Accumulated deficit increased from $28,971,411 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, to $31,181,617$31,133,851 for the sixnine months period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2023.

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, the Company had a negative cash balance of $2,125$151,555 (i.e. cash is used to fund operations). The Company does not believe our current cash balances will be sufficient to allow us to fund our operating plan for the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations or substantially curtail its drug development activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our principal sources of liquidity in the past have been cash generated by issuing new shares of the Company’s common stock and cash generated from loans to us. In order toTo be able to achieve our strategic goals, we need to further expand our business and financing activities. To continue to develop our product offerings and generate sales, significant capital has been and will continue to be required. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public equity and/or debt offerings. We continue to engage in preliminary discussions with potential investors and broker-dealers, but no terms have been agreed upon. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any equity financing may be dilutive to existing shareholders. We do not currently have any contractual restrictions on our ability to incur debt and, accordingly we could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance operations. Any such indebtedness could contain covenants which would restrict our operations.

Settlement Agreement

On September 6, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and stipulation (“Settlement Agreement”) with Trillium Partners, LP (“Trillium”) in connection with the settlement of $6,033,474.16 of bona fide obligations the Company owed to certain of its creditors. The Settlement Agreement was subject to a fairness hearing and, following such fairness hearing, on October 10, 2023, the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District (the “Court”), entered an order approving the Settlement Agreement.

If the Settlement Agreement is satisfied in full, the Company shall reduce the Company’s debt obligations in the aggregate amount of $6,033,474.16, in exchange for the issuance of shares of Company’s common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in multiple tranches. It is estimated that the Company will, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, issue to Trillium approximately $9,282,267.93 of Settlement Shares, if the Settlement Agreement is satisfied in full, which represents a 35% discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. At no time may Trillium beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.

19
 19

 

Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed which are described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 13a-15(b), we have carried out an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our management, and the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023. Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below, in order to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure (see below for further discussion).We had neither the resources, nor the personnel, to provide an adequate control environment.

 

Due to our limited resources, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist on JuneSeptember 30, 2023:

 

 we do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
   
 we do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our limited size and early-stage nature of operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible; however, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals;

 we do not have an independent audit committee of our Board of Directors;
   
 insufficient monitoring and review controls over the financial reporting closing process, including the lack of individuals with current knowledge of GAAP that led to the restatement of our previously issued financial statements; and

 

We believe that these material weaknesses primarily related, in part, to our lack of sufficient staff with appropriate training in GAAP and SEC rules and regulations with respect to financial reporting functions, and the lack of robust accounting systems, as well as the lack of sufficient resources to hire such staff and implement these accounting systems.

 

20

If and when our financial resources allow, we plan to take a number of actions to correct these material weaknesses including, but not limited to, establishing an audit committee of our Board of Directors comprised of three independent directors, hiring a full-time Chief Financial Officer, adding experienced accounting and financial personnel and retaining third-party consultants to review our internal controls and recommend improvements.

 

20

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred as of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

CEO and CFO Certifications

 

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report are the Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, respectively. These Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of this Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to above and in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.
