NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Nature of Business
Code Green Apparel Corp, formerly known as Gold Standard Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on December 11, 2007 as Fluid Solutions, Inc. On May 6, 2009, Fluid Solutions, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Gold Standard Mining Corp., a Wyoming corporation (“GS Wyoming”), in exchange for 100,669,998 shares of its common stock pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated May 6, 2009 with that corporation and its shareholders. Concurrently with the acquisition, Pantelis Zachos, its Chief Executive Officer and a director, tendered 59,400,000 shares of common stock back to Fluid Solutions, Inc. for retirement.
On May 18, 2009, Fluid Solutions, Inc. changed its name to “Gold Standard Mining Corp.” and effected a 3.3 to 1 forward stock split. This split has been retroactively reflected in these financial statements.
As of the date that the Company acquired GS Wyoming, GS Wyoming’s principal asset was an Exchange Agreement, dated February 9, 2009, pursuant to which GS Wyoming had agreed to acquire Rosszoloto Co. Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Russia (“Rosszoloto”), in a stock exchange. Rosszoloto is engaged in the business of gold mining in the Amur region of Russia near the border between Russia and China. The Company completed the acquisition of Rosszoloto in June 2010. The Company issued a total of 100,669,998 shares to the shareholders of GS Wyoming.
In the spring of 2011, during the course of preparation of financial statements of the Company, the Board of Directors concluded that the Company could not get the financial information regarding Rosszoloto necessary for the financial statements of the Company, including Rosszoloto, to be audited. Based on this, in May 2011, the Company rescinded the acquisition of Rosszoloto and has treated the transaction as never having occurred. In connection with such rescission, the Company received back 51,499,998 shares of its common stock that they issued to acquire GS Wyoming.
On July 17, 2012, Gold Standard Mining Corp. changed its name to J.D. Hutt Corporation as it sought to engage in opportunities outside of mining and natural resource exploration. From that time, and for a period of nearly two years, the Company’s operations consisted of seeking other opportunities. On April 26, 2014, and with the appointment of George Powell as its CEO and Director, the Company officially changed its business model to offer eco-friendly corporate apparel primarily constructed from recycled textiles. To better reflect the Company’s change in business direction, the Company officially changed its name to Code Green Apparel Corp on May 15, 2015.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The Company has not generated any revenues from operations since inception. Since inception, it has incurred significant losses to date, and as of March 31, 2016, has an accumulated deficit of approximately $12,100,000. The Company’s ability to continue its operations is uncertain and is dependent upon its ability to implement a business plan sufficient to generate a positive cash flow and/or raise capital to fund its operations.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations in the normal course of business.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s historical results as well as management’s future expectations. The Company’s actual results could vary materially from management’s estimates and assumptions. Additionally, interim results may not be indicative of the Company’s results for future interim periods, or the Company’s annual results.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company from time to time issues shares of common stock for services. These issuances have been valued at the estimated fair market value of the services since its stock is thinly traded and the Company has raised minimal cash from sales of stock.
Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 do not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company has determined that certain convertible debt instruments outstanding as of the date of these financial statements include an exercise price “reset” adjustment that qualifies as derivative financial instruments under the provisions of ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock (“ASC 815-40”). Certain of the convertible debentures have a variable exercise price, thus are convertible into an indeterminate number of shares for which we cannot determine if we have sufficient authorized shares to settle the transaction with. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option is a derivative liability and is marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value during the period recorded in earnings as “Other income (expense) - gain (loss) on change in derivative liabilities.”

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2016.
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences such as loss carry-forwards and tax credits become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment and ensuring that the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is adjusted as appropriate.
NOTE 2 CONVERTIBLE NOTES
On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a business advisor. The agreement calls for monthly payments of $2,500 in service fees along with the issuance of a $500,000 fully earned convertible debt that accrues interest at 8%. During December 2015 the Company issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock in payment of $212,500 of principal on this convertible debt. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $57,500 and $50,000 was owed in services fees, accrued interest was $71,315 and $65,581 and the outstanding convertible debt was $287,500 and $287,500, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued $173,500 of convertible debts. The convertible debts carry interest at 10% per annum and are due in 24 months from the date of issuance, June 2016 through September 2016. The note holders have the option to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock after 180 days at 50% of the market price. During April and May of 2015, the Company issued 14,660,440 shares of common stock upon conversion of $173,500 of principal amount outstanding under these convertible debts. Total outstanding convertible debt was $-0- and $-0- at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The accrued interest on the convertible debt was $12,027 and $12,027 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
During December 2015, the Company issued a convertible debt in the amount of $175,000. The convertible debt is due in one year and contains a prepayment penalty of $25,000. The remaining balance due at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $175,000 and $175,000, respectively.
Derivative Liability
On May 1, 2014, the Company secured $500,000 in the form of a convertible promissory note. The note bear interest at the rate of 8% until they mature, or until there is an event of default. The note matured on May 1, 2015. The holder has the option to convert any balance of principal and interest into common stock of the Company. The rate of conversion for these notes is calculated as the lowest of the 20 trading closing prices immediately preceding such conversion, discounted by 50%.
On December 3, 2015, the Company secured $175,000 in the form of a convertible promissory note. The note does not bear interest if there is an event of default. The note matures on December 3, 2016. The holder has the option to convert any balance of principal into common stock of the Company. The rate of conversion for these notes is calculated as the lowest of the 10 trading closing prices immediately preceding such conversion, discounted by 32.5%.
Due to the variable conversion price associated with these convertible promissory notes, the Company has determined that the conversion feature is considered a derivative liability. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
The initial fair value of the embedded debt derivative of $500,842 and $227,746 was charged to current period operations as interest expenses. The fair value of the described embedded derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions:
(1) risk free interest rate of | 0.10%; |
(2) dividend yield of | 0%; |
(3) volatility factor of | 435%; |
(4) an expected life of the conversion feature of | 365 days, and |
(5) estimated fair value of the company’s common stock of | $0.008 per share. |
During the three months ended, the Company recorded the loss (gain) in fair value of derivative $154,014.
The following table represents the Company’s derivative liability activity for the year ended:

Embedded conversion features | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Warrants | | | — | | | | — | |
Insufficient shares | | | 254,303 | | | | — | |
Derivative financial instruments | | $ | 254,303 | | | $ | — | |
These derivative financial instruments arise as a result of applying ASC 815 Derivative and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which requires the Company to make a determination whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to the entity’s own stock. This guidance applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding notes with embedded conversion features and the Company did not, at this date, have a sufficient number of authorized and available shares of common stock to settle the outstanding contracts which triggered the requirement to account for these instruments as derivative financial instruments until such time as the Company has sufficient authorized shares.
Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company intends to request stockholder approval through written shareholder consent to increase the authorized shares of common stock in the Company from 500,000,000 to an amount, which would be a sufficient to fully settle all the outstanding contracts.

Management’s plans to eliminate the going concern situation include, but are not limited to, the raise of additional capital through issuance of debt and equity, improved cash flow management. Failure to raise additional capital or improve its performance in the next 12 months will cause the Company to significantly curtail its business activities and expansion plans within the next twelve months.

Critical Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to receivables and accrued expenses. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable based on the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets, the amount of stock compensation, and the amount of accrued liabilities that are not readily attainable from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s future actual results may differ materially from the results discussed herein, including those in the forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. In management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), our management concluded as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that our internal control over financial reporting has not been effective. The company intends, prior to the next fiscal year as the company’s finances improve, to hire additional accounting staff and implement additional controls.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of March 31, 2016:
i) | Lack of segregation of duties. At this time, our resources and size prevent us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. |
ii) | Lack of an independent audit committee. Although the Board of Directors serves an audit committee it is not comprised solely of independent directors. We may establish an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors when we have sufficient capital resources and working capital to attract qualified independent directors and to maintain such a committee. |
iii) | Insufficient number of independent directors. At the present time, our Board of Directors does not consist of a majority of independent directors, a factor that is counter to corporate governance practices as set forth by the rules of various stock exchanges. |
Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses. Due to a lack of financial resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until we acquire sufficient financing to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and 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 issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our 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 internal control. The design of any system of controls also is 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. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
