Upon further review of the Fifth Series B Purchase Agreement, it was noted the total number of shares issued under the Fifth Series B Purchase Agreement was 462,195 shares with total proceeds of $150,000. 

On October 31, 2017, as contemplated by the Initial Series B Purchase Agreement, the Parties entered into a sixth Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Sixth Series B Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company issued and sold to accredited investors 795,833 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for an aggregate cash payment equal to $80,000. Upon further review of the Sixth Series B Purchase Agreement, it was noted the total number of shares issued under the Sixth Series B Purchase Agreement was 1,042,337 shares with total proceeds of $557,500. 

As a result of the October 11, 2017 and October 31, 2017 transactions, the Company recorded an increase of $477, $552,023 and $552,500 to Series B Preferred Shares – par amount, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit, respectively. 

On November 16, 2017, the Company amended Notes Five, Six, and Seven (“the Amended Notes”) with the Fourth Investor. All three notes shall have maturity dates that are six months from November 16, 2017, shall convert at a 40% discount to the lowest one-day Volume Average Weighted Price (“VWAP”) during the 30 trading days preceding such conversion, shall incur interest at an annual rate of 5%, and shall be prepayable at any time at 110% of the unpaid principal and accrued interest balances. The amendment of Note Six and Seven included terms, permitting the Company the option to tender payment in full on or before November 21, 2017, at a 15% discount of the amended principal amounts. Note Five, Six and Seven Principal Amounts were amended to $281,900, $38,441 and $131,107, respectively. The Company evaluated the Amended Notes in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined the Amended Notes will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. At November 16, 2017, the principal amounts of Note Five, Six and Seven were $281,900, $38,441 and $131,107, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded the fair value of Note Five, Six and Seven at $812,393, $110,781 and $377,830, respectively. Therefore, the Company recorded a charge to the change in fair value of $(530,493), $(72,340) and $(246,723) related to Note Five, Six and Seven, respectively. 

Upon further review it was noted, on November 21, 2017, the Company paid the remaining principal balance, at the 15% discount on Notes Six and Seven in the amount of $144,259. Therefore, Notes Six and Seven did not have a balance as of December 31, 2017. 

As a result of the November 21, 2017 transaction, the Company recorded a reduction to convertible notes payable, net of discount of $488,611 and a credit to the change in fair value of convertible notes of $488,611. 

When taking into consideration the two transactions indicated above, the net impact to accumulated deficit was a charge of $63,889, resulting from the netting of the gain of $488,611 from the reduction in the fair value of convertible notes at December 31, 2017 offset by the $552,500 of additional expense associated with the Series B Purchase Agreement. 

Upon further review it was noted that, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company erroneously recorded revenue for transactions with a consolidating entity and not recording the intercompany entry to eliminate the revenue. Therefore revenue and cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were overstated by $338,437. The Company will adjust for these errors on a prospective basis. 

Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s amended audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Amended Fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on April 4, 2018. In addition, the Company’s future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for subsequent quarterly periods during the current fiscal year will reflect the impact of the revision in the comparative prior quarter and year-to-date periods. 

The following table summarizes the effects of the revisions on the financial statements for the periods reported.

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

 

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

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,287,082,$3,715,022, as compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $3,289,281$2,233,652 at December 31, 2017.2018. The decreaseincrease of $1,002,199$1,481,370 in the Company’s working capital deficit from December 31, 20172018 to SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 was primarily the result of a decreasenon-cash increase in the Company’s obligation to issue warrants and a decrease in the balancefair market value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, net of discount – related party and an increase in the warrant liability, partially offset by a decrease in cash and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.contingent consideration.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements for its operations will depend on many factors, including the profitability of its businesses, the number and cash requirements of other acquisition candidates that the Company pursues, and the costs of operations. The Company has been investing in expanding its operation in new states, its security service in Colorado and California, and upgrading the capabilities of BioTrackTHC. The Company’s management has taken several actions to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through December 31, 2018,for the next twelve months, including growing and diversifying its revenue streams, selectively reducing expenses, and considering additional funding. Additionally, if the Company’s actual revenues are less than forecasted, the Company anticipates that variable expenses will also decline, and the Company’s management can implement expense reduction as necessary. The Company is evaluating other measures to further improve its liquidity, including the sale of equity or debt securities. Lastly, the Company may elect to reduce certain related-party and third-party debt by converting such debt into common shares. The Company’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements through November 15, 2019.August 16, 2020. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 20182019 and beyond.

On May 31, 2019 the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, with respect to the securities being offered. The Company is working with an investment bank to identify investors in anticipation of raising up to $5 million in new equity capital.

 

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


4.3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Helix TCS, LLC (“Helix TCS”), Security Consultants Group, LLC (“Security Consultants”), Boss Security Solutions, Inc. (“Boss Security”), Security Consultants Group Oregon, LLC (“Security Oregon”), Security Grade, BioTrackTHC (since June 1, 2018), and2018, Engeni US (since August 3, 2018), and Tan Security (since April 1, 2019).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Use ofSignificant estimates includes the following: 1)made by management include, but are not limited to allowance for doubtful accounts, 2) estimatedpurchase accounting allocations, recoverability and useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, 3) intangibles impairment, 4) valuation of convertible notes payable, contingencies, warrant liabilities, equity compensation and 5) revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Cash 

Cash consists of checking accounts. The Company considers all highly-liquidhighly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash.  cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

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

 

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

 

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $65,103$77,046 and $3,000$76,156 at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.


Long-Lived Assets, Including Definite Lived Intangible Assets

 

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

  

Goodwill

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Accounting for Acquisitions

 

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

 

Business Combinations

 

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

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

 

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

Revenue Recognition

 

Under FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

Segment Information

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.

 

Asset information by operating segment is not presented since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Expenses

 

Cost of Revenues

 

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

 

Operating Expenses

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

 

Other (Expense) Income (Expense), net

 

Other income (expense) income,, net consisted of change in fair value of convertible note, change in fair value of convertible note – related party, interest expense, change in fair value of obligation to issue warrants,contingent consideration, change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on extinguishmentissuance of debt, loss on impairment of Goodwill andwarrants, gain on reduction of obligation pursuant to acquisition. acquisition and interest (expense) income.


Property and Equipment

 

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

 

Contingencies

 

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

   

Leases

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

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

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

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $9,079$178,219 and $7,298$34,963 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and $74,408$247,490 and $12,477$61,737 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

  

Foreign Currency

 

The local currency is the functional currency for one entity’s operations outside the United States. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of each period. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of other comprehensive lossincome within shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss for the period.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating loss for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Comprehensive LossIncome (Loss)

 

Comprehensive lossincome (loss) consists of consolidated net lossincome (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive lossincome (loss) were not tax-effected as investments in international affiliates are deemed to be permanent.


Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

 

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

 

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

  

Initial Measurement

 

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

 

Subsequent Measurement – Financial instruments classified as liabilities

 

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

   

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

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

 

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

    

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

 

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

 

Share-based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

Convertible notes payable

 

The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes payable, approximated the carrying value as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions and the term of the debt. The level of the debt would be considered as Level 2.

 

Warrant liabilities

The fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities approximated the carrying value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its warrants included market conditions and the term of the warrants. The level of the warrant liabilities would be considered as Level 3.

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

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

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basicstructures. Basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net lossincome (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS excludedgives effect to all dilutive potential dilutivecommon shares if their effect was anti-dilutive.outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt and convertible securities, using the if-converted method.

 


Basic net loss per share is based onFor the weighted average number of commonthree months ended June 30, 2018 and common-equivalent shares outstanding. Potentialthe six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per share results are not presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, dilutive earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders less the change in fair value of warrant liability, the change in fair value of convertible notes, interest expense on convertible notes, and the debt discount amortized on convertible notes. The calculation of diluted EPS excludes 24,571,582 shares for securities which have been deemed to be anti-dilutive.

 

Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted lossEarnings per share is computed in a manner similar tofor the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of warrants, options, convertible debtthree and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were calculated as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

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

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, 2016-.02,“Leases”, which is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of leases with terms of less than one year) at the commencement date: 1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to ASC 842 (Leases), and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, (“Topic 842”) which provide (i) narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspectsrequires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The most prominent of the newchanges in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease standard, (ii) entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the newliabilities by lessees for those leases standard, and (iii) lessors with a practical expedient for separating components of a contract. All ASUs are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company is still evaluating the method of adoption. While the Company is continuing to assess all potential impacts of the new standard, the Company currently believes the most significant impact relates to its accounting for office space, colocationclassified as operating leases, and embedded leases within its supplier contracts.leases.

 


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business.The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted thisthe new standard on January 1, 2018.2019 and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. The Company elected certain practical expedients, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification and classification.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350); Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public companies for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Accordingly, at March 31, 2018, goodwill was tested for potential impairment. As a resultAdoption of the goodwill impairment test performed, it was determined thatstandard resulted in the carrying valuebalance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,500,000. The new standard also provides practical expedients for each reporting unit was higher than its fair value. Please refer to FN 9 for further detail.

In May 2017,an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company currently has elected the FASB issued ASU No 2017-09“Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”(ASU 2017-09). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity and reduces both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all three of the following are met: (1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification. (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. (3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. Note that the current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in ASU 2017-09. ASU 2017-09 is effectiveshort-term lease recognition exemption for all annual periods, and interim periods withinleases that qualify. This means, for those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard was adopted byleases that qualify, the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoptionwill not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of this accounting standard did not have a material impact onthose assets in separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. For additional information regarding the Company’s leases, see Note 18 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.


In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception.Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessingadopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on itsCompany’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU. The Company is evaluatingadopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the effect that this update will have on itsCompany’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASC 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. The Company is evaluatingadopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019. The amendments in this ASU did not have a material impact on the effect that this update will have on itsCompany’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 


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


 

5.4.Revenue Recognition

 

Adoption of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

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

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

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

 

Security and Guarding Revenue

 

Helix provides armed and unarmed guards, monitoring of security alarms and cameras, as well as armed transportation services. The guards are charged out at an hourly rate, as are the monitoring services, with invoices typically sent to clients shortly after each month-end for the previous month, with revenue being recognized at a point in time onceover time. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits provided by the service has been provided.Helix performance. Transportation services are typically invoiced on a per-run basis, with revenue being recognized at a point in time once the service has been completed.

 

Systems Installation Revenue

 

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

 

Software

 

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

 

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


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

 

Performance Obligations

 

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

 

Significant Judgments

 

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

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contract

 

The Company’s costs to fulfill or obtain contracts with customers primarily consist of commissions and legal costs. The Company provides sales team members with commissions at 0-6%. Although sales commissions are incremental in nature and are only incurred when a contract is obtained, there is no up-front commission paid on the satisfactory obtainment of a contract, resulting in no sales commissions being capitalized at SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company also incurs legal costs relating to the drafting and negotiating of contracts with select customers. Because legal costs are not incremental in nature and are incurred regardless of whether a contract is ultimately obtained, there were no legal costs capitalized as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company did not record amortization of costs incurred to obtain the contract or any impairment losses for the period ending SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

6.5.Business Combinations

 

Security Grade Acquisition

 

On June 2, 2017 (the “Closing”“Security Grade Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”“Security Grade Acquisition Agreement”) in which the Company purchased all issued and outstanding Unitsunits of Security Grade Protective Services, Ltd. (“Security Grade”), which comprisedconsisted of 800,000 Class A Units and 200,000 Class B Units. At closing,On the Security Grade Closing Date, the Company delivered $800,000 in cash and 207,427 non-qualified stock options (the “Initial Stock Options”). Furthermore, provided that, within the first 60 days following the closing,Security Grade Closing Date, no material customer identified in the Security Grade Acquisition Agreement terminates its contractual relationship with the Company and that all contracts with such material customers are in full force and effect without default or cancellation as of the 60th60th day following the closing,Security Grade Closing Date, on the 61st61st day following the closing,Security Grade Closing Date, the Company shall deliverissue an additional $800,000 in cash and issue 207,427 additional stock options (the “Additional Stock Options”). In the event of termination, cancellation or default of any contract with one or more material customer identified in the Security Grade Acquisition Agreement within the first 60 days following the closing,Security Grade Closing Date, the stock options received by the acquiree shall be reduced and/or forfeited to the extent necessary (pro rata based upon their ownership interest in the Company immediately preceding the closing) by a percentage equal to the revenue received by the Company from the terminating customer(s) in the 180 days immediately preceding such termination divided by the revenue received by the Company from all material customers identified in the Security Grade Acquisition Agreement in the 180 days immediately preceding such termination. The Company subsequently issued the 207,427 Additional Stock Options on August 1, 2017 as well as a second cash payment of $800,000 pursuant to the original terms of the Security Grade Acquisition Agreement.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company notified the selling members of Security Grade of their intent to exercise their right of setoff noted in the Security Grade Acquisition Agreement after discovering misrepresentations made by one of the selling members of Security Grade. The Company has settled with all of the six selling members. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has a liability pursuant to the Security Grade Acquisition Agreement of $153,333$0 and $101,667, respectively, payable following the Closing.

Company Default.In the event of a Company Event of Default, the Fourth Investor the shall have the right to elect to (i) at any time prior to June 30, 2017, convert the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Note Four into Class B Preferred Shares equal to 6.3% of the Company’s equity capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis, or (ii) at any time commencing on July 1, 2017 and ending on September 31, 2017, have Note Four redeemed for cash at a redemption price, in aggregate, equal to 150% of the aggregate principal outstanding balance of Note Four or (iii) to convert Note Four into common shares of the Company equal to 6.3% of the Company’s equity capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis. In the event the Holder does not elect any remedy in the event of a Company Event of Default, on September 31, 2017 the Amended Note shall be converted in whole into common shares of the Company equal to 6.3% of the Company’s equity capital calculated on a fully-diluted basis.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder will receive the same number of shares as it would have for its investment if it had converted at a $12,000,000 valuation on October 20, 2016 given the 26,587,497 shares outstanding at that time.

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

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

On February 13, 2017, the Company entered into a $183,333 10% Fixed Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Five”) with a thirdan investor (the “Third“First Investor”). The ThirdFirst Investor provided the Company with $166,666 in cash, which was received by the Company during the period ended March 31, 2017. The additional $16,666 was retained by the ThirdFirst Investor for due diligence and legal bills for the transaction. The Company promised to pay the principal amount, together with guaranteed interest at the annual rate of 10%, with principal and accrued interest on Note Five due and payable on September 12, 2017 (unless converted under terms and provisions as set forth within Note Five). The principal balance of Note Five was convertible at the election of the Third Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share. In conjunction with Note Five, the Company issued a warrant to the third investor to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. Note Five became effective on February 14, 2017 upon the execution by the Company and the Holder of numerous exhibit documents.  In addition, the Company reserved 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the Third Investor.

 

The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature within the above convertible note under ASC 815 and determined the conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore should not be bifurcated. Then the Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature at inception. The Company accounted for the intrinsic value of a Beneficial Conversion Feature inherent to the convertible note payable and a total debt discount of $183,333 was recorded.

 

The Company recorded a debt discount relating to the warrants issued in the amount of $22,000 based on the relative fair values of Note Five without the warrants and the warrants themselves at the effective date of Note Five. The additional $16,666 retained by the ThirdFirst Investor for due diligence and legal bills for the transaction will be recorded as a debt discount. The calculated value of the beneficial conversion feature and the combined value of the debt discount resulted in a value greater than the value of the debt and as such, the total discount was limited to the value of the debt balance of $183,333. Therefore, the debt discount related to the Beneficial Conversion Featurebeneficial conversion feature was in the amount of $144,666. The excess value of the Beneficial Conversion Feature discount was recognized as a loss in earnings and recorded as an interest expense in the amount of $390,666 and will be amortized through Maturity of Note Five.

The debt discounts will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note.  Amounts amortized to interest expense were approximately $39,286 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The unamortized discount balance at March 31, 2017 was approximately $144,047.

The principal balance of Note Six was convertible at the election of the Third Investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at $6.10 per share. Note Six become effective on February 14, 2017 upon the execution by the Company and the Holder of numerous exhibit documents.

The Company evaluated Note Six in accordance with ASC 815 to determine if the conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value and remeasured at fair value in income. The Company determined that the conversion feature did not meet the requirements for bifurcation pursuant to ASC 815. Then the Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature at inception and determined that Note Six did not have a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company recorded the conventional convertible note as a debt instrument in its entirety. The interest expense associated with Note Six was $536 for the period ended March 31, 2017.

2017.Income Taxes

 

No provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 20172018 consist of income tax loss carryforwards. These amounts are available for carryforward for use in offsetting taxable income of future years through 2035. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period. Utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, these deferred tax assets arising from the future tax benefits are currently not likely to be realized and are thus reduced to zero by an offsetting valuation allowance. As a result, there is no provision for income taxes. 

 

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $9,825,000$15,098,000 and $5,800,000,$8,365,000, respectively. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company applied a 100% valuation reserve against the deferred tax benefit as the realization of the benefit is not certain.

22.19.Segment Results

 

FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach is based on the way a company’s management organized segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision–making group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates in three segments, Security and guarding, Systems installation and Software.

 

Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The following represents selected information for the Company’s reportable segments:

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

 

Going Concern

 

Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we may either need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.

 

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

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had a cash balance of $464,992, net$800,015, accounts receivable, net of $1,152,337$1,640,996 and $3,929,203$6,708,392 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we may need to consider additional funding sources toward the end of fiscal 2018.2019. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses, and drive growth in revenue.revenue and expeditiously resolve any remaining legal matters.

 

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

 

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

Related Party Transactions

  

The Company hashad a loan outstanding from a former Company executive. The advance does not accrue interest and has no definite repayment terms. The loan balance was $55,250$0 and $124,750$45,250 as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

 

In March 2016, the Company issued 960,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Related Party Holder per a subscription agreement for total proceeds of $150,000. In conjunction with the subscription agreement, the Company issued a warrant to the Related Party Holder to purchase 1,920,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.16 per share. The Warrant Exercise Date is the later of the following to occur (i) March 9, 2017, (ii) ten (10) days after the Company’s notice to the holder of the warrant that the Company shall have an effective S-1 registration with the SEC; or (iii) ten (10) days after Company’s notice to the holder of the warrants that the Company has entered into an agreement for the sale of substantially all the assets or Common Stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2019, the warrants granted are not exercisable. 

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

 

On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to amend Note Eight (this(the “Amendment”) with the Related Party Holder March 2016 (the “Note”).Holder. The Company and Holders desireHolder desired to extend the maturity date of the Note Eight to August 20, 2018.

The2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Note is herebyEight was amended as follows. The Company promises to pay (i) all accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount through December 31, 2017 and (ii) $25,000 in principal within 5 business days of the date of thisthe Amendment. The Company agrees to issue 15,000 shares of restricted Company common stock as an inducement for this amendmentthe Amendment within 10 business days of the date of thisthe Amendment. The principal amount of the noteNote Eight will be reduced to $125,000. Unless extended by the Company, converted or prepaid earlier, all unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable on August 20, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”).the Maturity Date. All provisions related to conversion of the Note Eight into equity securities of the Company were terminated as part of thisthe Amendment.

 

As of February 20, 2018, the fair value of the liability was $239,343, however due to termination of the conversion of the note into equity securities, Note Eight will be valued in its principal amount of $125,000 and accordingly the Company recorded a credit regarding the change in fair value of $0 and charge of $34,725 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and $118,506$0 and $8,971$118,506 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. The interest expense associated with Note FiveEight was $2,479 and $2,675$0 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and $10,217$0 and $7,853$2,402 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Note Eight was paid in full on the Maturity Date.

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a $1,500,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note Nine”) with a related party entity (the Second Related Party Holder”). A Managing Member of the Second Related Party Holder is also a Director of the Company. The Second Related Party Holder provided the Company with $1,475,000 in cash proceeds, which was received by the Company during the period ended June 30, 2019. The additional $25,000 was retained by the fourth investor for legal bills for the transaction. Note Nine will mature on March 1, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 25% per annum, payable by the Company half in cash and half in kind on a quarterly basis. The principal balance of Note Nine is convertible at the election of the fourth investor, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, into the Company’s common stock at the lower of $0.90 per share or a 30% discount to the Company’s 30-day weighted average listed price per share immediately before the date of conversion. In conjunction with Note Nine, the Company issued a warrant to the fourth investor to purchase 535,715 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.40 per share.

The Company evaluated Note Nine in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined Note Nine will be accounted for as a liability initially measured at fair value and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of Note Nine was $2,205,270. Accordingly, the Company recorded a change in fair value of ($2,818,739) and $705,270 related to Note Nine for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

In addition, the company recorded a debt discount relating to the warrants issued in the amount of $1,186,153 based on the residual fair value of the warrants at inception of Note Nine. The additional $25,000 retained by the fourth investor for legal bills for the transaction will be recorded as a debt discount. Debt discounts amortized to interest expense were $301,959 and $401,506 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The unamortized discount balance at June 30, 2019 was $809,647. On May 31, 2019, the Company issued 52,083 restricted shares of common stock as PIK interest payments in the amount of $46,875. Accrued interest expense associated with Note Nine was $30,822 as of June 30, 2019, which includes PIK interest payable. As of June 30, 2019, the balance of Note Nine, net of debt discount for warrants and legal bills was $1,395,623.


On March 1, 2019, in connection with the issuance of Note Nine, the Company issued warrants, of which the value was derived and based off the fair value of Note Nine, to the investor to purchase 535,715 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.40 per share. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by the warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after March 1, 2019 and on or before March 1, 2024, by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise.

The Company determined that the warrants associated with Note Nine are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company has no plans to consummate a fundamental transaction and does not believe a fundamental transaction is likely to occur during the remaining term of the outstanding warrants. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations. At inception, March 1, 2019, the fair value of the warrant liability was $1,186,153 while as of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the warrant liability was $471,346. Accordingly, the Company recorded a change in fair value of $(857,730) and $(714,807) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures 

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e)and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control problems or acts of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 


These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosureinternal controls and proceduresover financial reporting as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the end of the interim period covered by this report established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. The evaluation of our disclosureinternal controls and proceduresover financial reporting included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’internal control objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report.

  

In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Based on that evaluation, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 due to the existence of material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management has determined that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 due to the existence of the following material weaknesses identified by management:

 

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

 

Inadequate segregation of duties.

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

  

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

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

On March 8, 2017, two former employees filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Colorado Wage Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees. On April 3, 2017, we moved to dismiss the complaint. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the claim is currently pending the outcome of certain matters in the process of discovery.Kenney, et al v. Helix TCS, Inc. case.

 

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

 

On July 20, 2017 one former employee filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act on behalf of themselves and other employees. The plaintiffs seek damages for our alleged failure to compensate them appropriately for the overtime hours they worked as purported “non-exempt” employees. As of June 30, 2019, the claim is currently in the process of discovery.

  

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

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

On March 6, 2018 the Company filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the city and county of Denver alleging violations in previously disclosed representations and warranties by the plaintiff as part of the Security Grade acquisition. Following the appointment of a registered Pubic Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) auditor, certain financial misrepresentations, including undisclosed liabilities, the overstatement of revenues, and the misclassification of certain revenues as being recurring, were discovered, ultimately artificially inflating the price of the membership interests in Security Grade. All matters related to the acquisition of Security Grade have been settled as of September 30, 2018.
