In May of 2015, we opened our first testing lab in Nevada and have plans to open labs in other legal states. Our customers were not fully operational when we opened our lab. As a result, we had minimal revenues for the first four months of operations and our customers have subsequently been steadily opening their businesses. ● TNM News Corp. provides a balanced and unbiased approach to cannabis news with a news/talk radio show and national marijuana news website focusing on the political, economic, medicinal, scientific, and cultural dimensions of the rapidly evolvingand profoundly controversialmedicinal and recreational marijuana industry ● DigiPath Corp. develops digital pathology systems to Stock Split All share and per share amounts herein have been given retroactive effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Companys common stock effected May 27, 2015 (See Note 10). Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and do not contain certain information included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which were under common control and ownership at December 31, 2015: State of Name of Entity (1) Incorporation Relationship DigiPath, Inc. (2) Nevada Parent DigiPath Labs, Inc. Nevada Subsidiary TNM News, Inc. Nevada Subsidiary GroSciences, Inc. (3) Colorado Subsidiary (1) (2) (3) The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company and subsidiaries will be collectively referred to herein as the Company, DigiPath or DIGP. The Companys headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its customers are within the United States. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Equity Method Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee companys board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee companys accounts are not reflected within the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations; however, the Companys share of the earnings or losses of the Investee company is reflected in the caption Equity in losses of unconsolidated entity in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Companys carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reflected in the caption Investment in DigiPath Corp. in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. U.S. GAAP considers a change in reporting entity to include changing specific subsidiaries that make up the group of entities for which consolidated financial statements are presented. Circumstances may arise where a parents controlling financial interest (e.g., generally an ownership interest in excess of 50 percent of the outstanding voting stock) is reduced to a noncontrolling investment that still enables it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. A change that results from changed facts and circumstances (such as a partial sale of a subsidiary), where there was only one acceptable method of accounting prior to the change in circumstances (consolidation) and only one acceptable method of accounting after the change (equity method accounting), is not a change in reporting entity and is not be accounted for retrospectively. Accordingly, a change from a controlling interest to a noncontrolling investment accounted for under the equity method is accounted for prospectively from the date of change in control. When the Companys carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Companys consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the Investee company or has committed additional funding. When the Investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, financial position or cash flows. Segment Reporting Under FASB ASC 280-10-50, the Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. In addition, the Company had debt instruments that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when the products or services are completed in accordance with the contracts we have with clients. In connection with our products and services arrangements, when we are paid in advance, these amounts are classified as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the agreement. With respect to our cannabis lab testing revenues, we sell our services on a determinable fixed fee per test, or panel of tests basis, and offer a discounted price for customers that agree to enter into exclusive, long term contracts. We typically require payment prior to the delivery of results. As such, revenues are recognized upon the delivery of results, which coincide with the completion of the tests. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees as compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and equity-based payments as compensation to non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Simplifying Income StatementPresentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items -01 is intended to reduce complexity and cost of compliance with GAAP by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items in the statement of operations. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-01 as of October 1, 2015. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360:)Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity 1. The component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as held for sale. 2. The component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale. 3. The component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff). ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
