Organization and Accounting Policies | Note 1 - Organization and Accounting Policies CalEthos, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 20, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Since the second quarter of 2016, the Company has been a “shell” company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. On December 20, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to change the Company name from “RealSource Residential, Inc.” to “CalEthos, Inc.”This amendment became effective immediately upon filing on December 20, 2018. Change in Control On May 16, 2018, certain majority stockholders of the Company, including certain former directors and officers of the Company, entered into a stock purchase agreement dated May 16, 2018 (the “Control Purchase Agreement”) with RealSource Acquisition Group, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“RealSource Acquisition”), whereby RealSource Acquisition agreed to purchase an aggregate of 11,006,356 shares (440,256 shares after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (see Note 3) (the “Control Shares”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $180,000. Immediately prior to the closing under the Control Purchase Agreement on September 12, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), RealSource Acquisition assigned its rights under the Control Purchase Agreement to M1 Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“M1 Advisors”), pursuant to a purchase agreement and assignment and assumption of contract rights dated as of August 28, 2018 between RealSource Acquisition and M1 Advisors. M1 Advisors paid RealSource Acquisition $80,000 as consideration for such assignment. Effective on the Closing Date, and in accordance with the amended and restated bylaws of the Company and the requirements of the Control Purchase Agreement, (a) each of Michael S. Anderson, Nathan W. Hanks and V. Kelly Randall resigned as directors of the Company, (b) Michael Campbell, the sole member of M1 Advisors, and Piers Cooper were elected to the Company’s board of directors, and (c) Mr. Hanks also resigned as president and chief executive officer of the Company, Mr. Randall also resigned as chief operating office and chief financial officer of the Company, Mr. Campbell was appointed the chief executive officer of the Company and Piers Cooper was appointed president of the Company. On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a series A preferred stock purchase agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Preferred Purchase Agreement”) with M1 Advisors, which is an entity controlled by Michael Campbell, the Company’s chief executive officer and a director of the Company at such time, Piers Cooper, the Company’s president and a director of the Company at such time, the members of RealSource Acquisition, and the other investors who were signatories thereto (collectively, the Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 15,600,544 shares of the Company’s series A preferred stock, which has since been re-designated as Founder preferred stock (“Founder Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $16,000, or $0.001 per share. Of the Founder Preferred Stock purchased, 9,320,414 shares were purchased by M1 Advisors, 4,674,330 shares were purchased by Mr. Cooper and an aggregate of 1,195,000 shares were purchased by the members of RealSource Acquisition or their assigns. Immediately following the above transactions, an aggregate of 15,600,544 shares of Founder Preferred Stock and 630,207 shares of common stock was issued and outstanding. At such time, the shares of Founder Preferred Stock and common stock owned by M1 Advisors represented approximately 60.14% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis and the shares of Founder Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Cooper represented approximately 28.80% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. The shares of Founder Preferred Stock acquired by M1 Advisors were purchased with funds that M1 Advisors borrowed from another entity controlled by Mr. Campbell. Business Activity Following the change in control, as described above, the board of directors determined to establish the Company in the rapidly-growing cannabis industry, initially in the State of California. The primary activity of the Company’s management is to seek and investigate various opportunities in the California cannabis industry, and if such investigation warrants, acquire assets and create a business around them, acquire part or all of an operating cannabis business and or invest or joint venture with other more established companies already in the cannabis industry. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, segment of the cannabis industry or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature that is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders. Accounting Policies The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no established operations. Going Concern and Liquidity The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,499,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,326,000 as of December 31, 2019. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection with its operating activities. The Company’s financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful development, marketing and branding of products; uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund its operations and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth targets. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms, when and if needed, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including market demand for the Company’s products and services, the success of product development efforts, the timing of receipts for customer deposits, the management of working capital, and the continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for purchase of goods and services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund its operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to substantially increase revenues, reduce expenditures, or otherwise generate cash flows from operations, then the Company will likely need to raise additional funding from investors or through other avenues to continue as a going concern. Reclassification Certain amounts for 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the classification for 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methodologies considered to be appropriate and has determined that the book value of the Company’s prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, approximate fair value based of their short-term nature. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had no assets or liabilities that require fair value measurement. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company held only cash deposits at a financial institution. Related Parties The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option of ASC section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. Commitments and Contingencies The Company follows ASC section 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Debt Discounts The Company accounts for debt discounts originating in connection with conversion features that remain embedded in the related notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options Warrants In connection with financing arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Stock-Based Compensation We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “ Compensation – Stock Compensation We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Since the Company had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019, the series A convertible preferred stock and the outstanding warrants would be considered anti-dilutive. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company is a United States Company, incorporated in the state of Delaware and has its office in California. The Company has no foreign operations. The tax reform bill that Congress voted to approve December 20, 2017, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, made sweeping modifications to the Internal Revenue Code, including a much lower corporate tax rate, changes to credits and deductions, and a move to a territorial system for corporations that have overseas earnings. The act replaced the prior-law graduated corporate tax rate, which taxed income over $10 million at 35%, with a flat rate of 21%. The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax laws; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. If necessary, the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence. The Company has adopted guidance related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes rules for recognition, measurement and classification in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance prescribes a two-step approach which involves evaluating whether a tax position will be more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority nor has the Company been notified of a pending examination. The statute of limitations for which the Company is generally no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities is for years before 2012. |
