East Cost Diversified Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2015
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization, Presentation, and Going Concern
Organization
East Coast Diversified Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on May 27, 1994 as Plantastic Corp. In June 2003, the Company changed its name to East Coast Diversified Corporation from Lifekeepers International, Inc. and changed its domicile to Nevada.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2014 audited annual financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $23,140,963 at September 30, 2015, a net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,214,609 and $589,787, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, generate revenues, and continue to raise additional investment capital. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans will afford the Company the opportunity to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 – Long Lived Assets
Property and equipment at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:
| September 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||
| Machinery and equipment | $ | 67,558 | $ | 63,853 | ||||
| Furniture and fixtures | 23,135 | 23,135 | ||||||
| 90,693 | 86,988 | |||||||

Note 2 – Long Lived Assets (Continued)
Depreciation of property and equipment was $8,782 and $1,970 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Intangible assets consisted of the following as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:
| September 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||
| Technology license rights - EarthSearch | $ | 550,000 | $ | - | ||||
| Social media platform - Wet Winds | 150,000 | 150,000 | ||||||
| Total Intangibles | $ | 700,000 | $ | 150,000 | ||||
As the intangible assets have indefinite lives, they are not amortized but rather tested for impairment on a periodic basis. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Note 3 – Loans Payable

Note 6 – Amounts Payable in Common Stock and Derivative Liability
During the year ended December 31, 2012, Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“Ironridge”) purchased $826,367 of accounts payable and $241,978 of loans payable, for a total of $1,068,345, from certain creditors of the Company. On April 20, 2012, the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District approved a Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the “Settlement of Claims”) in the favor of Ironridge. The Settlement of Claims calls for the amount to be paid by issuance of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the common stock is to be calculated based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock over the calculation period, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the calculation period, less a discount of 35%. The calculation period is defined as the period from the approval of the Settlement of Claims until the settlement is completed.
As the terms of the settlement include issuing common stock at a 35% discount to the conversion price, a derivative liability for the discount was established at the time of the Settlement of Claims of $575,263. The derivative liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period with any change in the liability being charged to operations.
As common stock is issued in installments on the settlement, the Amounts Payable in Common Stock and the Derivative Liability will be reduced accordingly. No common stock was issued on the settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 1,820,000,000 shares of common stock, with a market value of $182,000, were issued to Ironridge in settlement of $118,300 of the liability leaving a balance of $2,925 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. As a result, a reduction of the derivative liability of $63,700 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 leaving a balance of $1,575 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by East Coast Diversified Corporation (the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operation
Since acquiring EarthSearch in April of 2010, ECDC has embarked on developing its technology operations and improving its product offerings to the market. Two of the business divisions, “StudentConnect and EarthSearch” are now in commercial phase of the operations. Vir2o our social media division was launched in June 2014 and we recently concluded its redesign. To date, we have completed the development of two proprietary technologies, (i) wireless communications between GPS & RFID (comprising of several GPS, RFID and cargo locking devices) and (ii) “nVite” which is a proprietary environment sharing application for our social media division. Additionally, we developed several web assets, comprised of five proprietary “Software” for the operation and management of our businesses, the following list represents proprietary software owned by the company:
| 1. | GATIS – Global Asset Tracking & Identification Systems | |
| 2. | CARAS – Customs And Revenue Authority Systems | |
| 3. | StudentConnect – Student Transportation System | |
| 4. | SCAAP – StudentConnect Advertisement Aggregation Platform | |
| 5. | Vir2o – Online Social Media Platform |
EarthSearch
On August 1, 2015 we launched our low cost GPS devices, Halo2, which we believe will allow us to be more competitive in the market. Our goal is to reenergize the EarthSearch basic GPS business with Halo2 and create a mass-market solution for small businesses. We believe the product will allow us to be more competitive globally, where cheaper Chinese products have created significant competition for our business. We delivered an additional 500 units of Halo2 to Halogen Securities in Nigeria and have commenced marketing activities in the United States.
We launched the website for Halo2,www.gatis-lowcostgps.com . Additionally, we created our first mobile device application, GATIS mobile app, to support our GPS business.

We also entered into an agreement with PassBox Global, in Jonesboro, Georgia, to install our TrailerSeal on all of their manufactured containers. An initial order of forty container seals, humidity and temperature sensors were delivered under the agreement. We are awaiting the launch of the Passbox operations to expand sales of our TrailerSeal to additional containers.
StudentConnect
StudentConnect began commercial deployment in the first quarter of 2014. In February 2014, we deployed StudentConnect on school buses in school districts in Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, California, and South Carolina. In 2015 we deployed an additional 400 units in California, Dubai and Lebanon. We enhanced the StudentConnect mobile application to include access for both transportation directors and drivers. This application can now be downloaded in the iOS and Google Play stores. Recently, we added several enhancements to our software, which we believe will make us even more competitive in the market. Some of the new features include built-in automated routing software that would allow transportation directors to create routes and a pre/post trip inspection capability that will allow drivers to check their buses pre and post trip.
Verizon government sales executives continue to market StudentConnect products to school districts.
Additionally, on November 12, 2014, we entered into an advertising agreement with AdMedia, which began posting advertisements on student status messages. We will earn between $0.50 and $5.00 per ad click and $4.00 and $10.00 per thousand impression under the agreement. We will continue to promote our proprietary advertising platform, SCAAP, directly to businesses and ad agencies in the districts where we have launched our services. We previously generated advertising revenue at the end of the last school year through AdMedia.
We deployed our proprietary advertising platform in StudentConnect Advertising Aggregation Platform (SCAAP) in August 2015 and will market it to business advertisers for direct advertisement on the StudentConnect System.
We have deployed the StudentConnect hardware and software at the following school districts under a 5 year service agreement:
| ● | St Joseph School Antoura, Beirut, Lebanon | |
| ● | Chattooga County School, GA | |
| ● | Sanger Unified School district, CA | |
| ● | Napa Valley Unified School District, CA | |
| ● | Bassett County Unified School District, CA | |
| ● | Logan County School District, KY | |
| ● | Regional Transportation Authority, Dubai UAE | |
| ● | Twin River Unified District, CA | |
| ● | Morgan Hill Unified District, CA |
There are currently four school districts in contract negotiations.
On January 15, 2014, we launched a licensing program for exclusive distributorship that would allow for rapid deployment of StudentConnect in key US and global markets. We have successfully deployed our StudentConnect product on the Verizon Network. We completed sales training with Verizon government sales team.
We executed licensing agreements with the following:
| ● | Neuva Tech California | |
| ● | Smart1st –Licensee Lebanon | |
| ● | InGlobs, Lebanon - Regional Marketing and Service Support Rep for Middle East Region | |
| ● | DataConsulting, Saudi Arabia | |
| ● | Location Solution, Dubai | |
| ● | RTA, UAE |
We have executed license agreements with Location Solution in Dubai and DataConsulting in Saudi Arabia. Further, we plan to launch services in Dubai in 2015. Conversations with potential partners are continuing in both Jordan and Bahrain.

Vir2o
We plan to relaunch Vir2o, however the implementation of the new design is still ongoing. Vir2o, our social media division, has launched its first marketing campaign in the US and North America. We executed a promotional agreement with CBS local Atlanta radio station, WVEE, as the first beta test for our marketing strategy for North America.
We plan to introduce commercial content and ecommerce into the social media space. We have entered into an agreement with Amazon, collegebooks.com and fanatics.com, an online retailer of sporting goods.
We believe the future of social media is to deliver movies, music, and shopping, in a live, engaging and interactive way, for users, their friends and family. We believe Vir2o brings everything from the web to social media including online games, video, movies, shopping, and music and live broadcast. It is imperative that we form strategic alliances with content providers for our strategy to be successful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we funded our operations through financing activities consisting of private placements of equity securities and loans from related and unrelated parties. Our principal use of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 has been for working capital and general corporate expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources during the Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2014
As of September 30, 2015, we had cash of $4,053 and a working capital deficit of $6,844,397. The Company generated a negative cash flow from operations of $589,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to cash used in operations of $515,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to the Company’s net loss of $1,214,609, offset by depreciation of $8,782, amortization of prepaid license fees of $37,500, accretion of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable of $27,340, accrued interest on loans payable of $58,091, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $533,084, and increased by noncontrolling interests in the loss of EarthSearch of $39,975.
The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to the Company’s net loss of $152,785, offset by depreciation of $1,970, stock issued for services of $2,096, amortization of prepaid license fees of $37,500, accretion of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable of $220,061, accrued interest on loans payable of $47,555, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $387,436, and increased by a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $984,115, change in derivative liability of $63,700 and noncontrolling interests in the loss of EarthSearch of $11,098.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3,705 for capital expenditures compared to $-0- for the same period in 2014.
| 20 |
Cash generated from our financing activities was $581,211 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $520,042 during the comparable period in 2014. The decrease was primarily attributed to proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $-0- in 2015 compared to $120,000 in 2014, proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock subscriptions of $-0- in 2015 compared to $71,500 in 2014, proceeds from loans payable of $580,400 in 2015 compared to $157,850 in 2014, and proceeds from loans payable – related parties of $811 in 2015 compared to $173,492 in 2014, offset by repayments on loans payable of $-0- in 2015 compared to $2,800 in 2014.
We will require additional financing during the current fiscal year. Our commercial activities has been significantly hampered and restricted due to ongoing Chill placed on our stock trading by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”) and difficulties with funding the last stages of development of our businesses. We have received an additional $56,500 in loans for the period October 1, 2015 through November 13, 2105.
We expect the continued successful commercialization of StudentConnect and EarthSearch business divisions to enhance our financial position and continued growth of the business operation. Management is reviewing all options that will enhance shareholders and investor value as well as the value of our business portfolio, in our efforts to mitigate the impact of the chill placed on our stock by DTCC.
Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this conclusion by our independent auditors.
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of 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. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2015.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is 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 companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
