Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of accounting The included (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated statements as of December 31, 2018 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP or SEC rules and regulations for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 filed on October 19, 2018. Liquidity and capital resources For the six months ended December 31, 2018 we had a net loss totaling approximately $9,755,000 with negative cash flows from operations totaling approximately $9,903,000. Our cash balance at December 31, 2018 was approximately $409,000. First, our production and installation of kiosks have been slower than anticipated, due to delays caused by engineering and manufacturing deficiencies, which have since been corrected. The impacts of production delays were decreased revenue recognition and less accounts receivable collections. Second, franchise sales during the quarter were lower than anticipated due to a late 10-k filing, which inhibited the Company’s ability to receive approved franchise documents. Also, we used cash on hand to retire liabilities associated with the franchise rescissions, for research, development and engineering expenditures related to our robotic soft serve vending kiosks and for the purchase of robot inventory. The combined result of these events was a substantial decrease in our cash balances and an increase in our outstanding liabilities. In order to ensure sufficient liquidity for our continuing operations, the Company is actively pursuing additional capital in the form of either debt or equity financing (or a combination thereof). We anticipate generating a portion of our required capital resources from deposits on sales of new franchises, unit sales of kiosks for the Fund, royalties from existing and future franchise installs and revenue from corporate-owned kiosks. Management believes the additional funding required can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful. Our current plans include research and development expenditures for the production of the next generation robot, payments required for the purchase of the Robofusion intellectual property (previous owner of the frozen yogurt robot intellectual property), capital expenditures for the purchase of franchisee and corporate-owned and operated robotic soft serve vending kiosks, as well as the repurchase of machines from franchisees opting to rescind their franchise agreements. The Company estimates current inventory balances of components are sufficient to manufacture approximately 150 – 200 fully-assembled robots. Given our current cash position, we may be forced to curtail our plans by delaying or suspending the production and purchase of robotic soft serve vending kiosks until such time that we may able to prepay for future robots. Principles of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Reis & Irvy’s, Inc., FHV LLC (recorded as discontinued operations), 19 Degrees, Inc., Generation Next Vending Robots, The Fresh and Healthy Vending Corporation, and FHV Acquisition, Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Use of estimates The preparation of our Company’s financial statements 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 our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates include our provisions for bad debts, franchisee rescissions and refunds, legal estimates, stock-based compensation, derivative liability and the valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimates will occur in the near term. Cash and cash equivalents All investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in money market funds, bank certificates of deposit and U.S. government debt securities whose cost equals fair market value. We had no cash equivalents at December 31. 2018 and June 30, 2018. We may maintain our cash and cash equivalents in amounts that may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2018, bank balances, per our bank, exceeding federally insured limits totaled approximately $149,000. We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash, and we believe our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to our cash. Certain states require the Company to maintain customer deposits in escrow accounts until the Company has substantially performed its obligations. Furthermore, certain franchisees have elected to pay their remaining balance due directly to an escrow account for the beneficiary of the Company’s contract manufacturer and inventory suppliers. At December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $4,582,000 and $3,710,000, respectively maintained in escrow accounts for these purposes. Contract assets – due from franchisees, net Contract assets – due from franchisees arise primarily from kiosk sales and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customers deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts aggregated approximately $174,000 and $0 at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Inventory Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the average cost method. Property and equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of the individual assets, generally five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Intangible assets Intangible assets consist primarily of patents, trademarks and trade names. Amortization of intangible assets is recorded as amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations and amortized over the respective useful lives using the straight-line method. Impairment of long-lived assets Impairment losses are recognized on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the estimated fair value of the assets. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Deferred rent The Company entered into an operating lease for our corporate offices in San Diego, California that contains provisions for future rent increases, leasehold improvement allowances and rent abatements. We record monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease term. The difference between the rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent, which is reflected as a separate line item in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Revenue, contract liabilities – franchisees advances and deferred revenue, and contract assets – due from franchisees The Company relies upon ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Reis & Irvy’s, Inc The primary revenue sources consisted of the following: · Robotic soft serve vending kiosks · Franchise fees · Royalties Revenues from robotic soft serve vending kiosks and franchise fees are recognized when the Company has substantially performed or satisfied all material services or conditions relating to the franchise agreement. Substantial performance has occurred when: 1) no remaining obligations are unfulfilled under the franchise agreement; 2) there is no intent to refund any cash received or to forgive any unpaid amounts due from franchisees; 3) all of the initial services in the franchise agreement have been performed; and 4) all other material conditions or obligations have been met. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, 120 and 50 robotic soft serve vending kiosks were installed and operational, respectively, and the Company had no further material conditions or obligations. There were no vending kiosks operational during the same periods in the prior year. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 the Company recognized revenue of approximately $1,688,000 and $4,407,00, respectively for robotic soft serve vending kiosks and approximately $1,500 and $11,000, respectively in franchise fees. Upon the execution of a franchise agreement, a deposit from the franchisee is required, and generally consists of 40% - 50% of the sales price of the frozen yogurt and ice cream robots, 50% - 100% of the initial franchise fees, and 40% - 50% of location fees. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes the contract as a contract liability – customer deposits and deferred revenue when the Company receives consideration or is due consideration. As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company’s customer advances and deferred revenues were approximately $35,519,000 and $37,222,000, respectively. These amounts are net of certain off-set adjustments of $13,222,000 and $13,295,000, respectively. The Company recognizes contract assets – due from franchisees when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company’s contract assets – due from franchisees was approximately $4,988,000 and $7,251,000, respectively. Fresh Healthy Vending LLC Because it was determined the assets of FHV LLC are currently insufficient to satisfy FHV LLC’s obligations to creditors, as of September 28, 2018, FHV LLC has executed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors under California law, whereby all of the assets of FHV LLC have been assigned to a third party fiduciary who will expeditiously liquidate such assets and distribute the proceeds thereof to FHV LLC’s creditors pursuant to the priorities established and permitted by law. Consequently, the Company has accounted for FHV LLC as a discontinued operation. 19 Degrees The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products from company-owned robotic soft serve vending kiosks when products are purchased. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 the Company recognized approximately $13,000 and $42,000, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 the Company recognized approximately $34,000 and $96,000, respectively. The Company recognizes the value of company-owned machines as inventory when purchased. Subsequent to installation, the purchased cost is recognized in fixed assets and depreciated over its estimated useful life. As of December 31, 2018, there was one company-owned robotic soft serve vending kiosks included in fixed assets. It is not the Company’s policy to allow for returns, discounts or warranties to our franchisees. Under certain circumstances, including as the result of regulatory action, the Company may become obligated to offer our franchisees amounts in rescission to reacquire their existing franchises, including the robotic soft serve vending kiosks Additionally, if the Company is unable to fulfill its obligations under a franchise agreement the Company may, at its sole discretion, agree to refund or reduce part or all of a franchisees payments or commitments to pay. As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company’s provision for Reis & Irvy’s franchisee rescissions and refunds totaled approximately $3,985,000 and $1,924,000, respectively. The balance is based on executed termination agreements and an estimate of future terminations. Marketing and advertising Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There are no existing arrangements under which the Company provides or receives marketing and advertising services from others for any consideration other than cash. Marketing and advertising expense totaled approximately $488,000 and $1,286,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. Marketing and advertising expense totaled approximately $707,000 and $1,454,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. Research, development and engineering costs Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded approximately $1,225,000 and $2,224,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $1,023,000 and $1,924,000, respectively. Concentration of manufacturers Our robotic soft serve vending kiosks are manufactured by one supplier and we will be transitioning to another single source supplier. This change in suppliers could cause a delay in deliveries and possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results. The Company uses a single supplier for its frozen confectionary consumables. Although there are a limited number of product suppliers with the product selection and distribution capabilities required by the franchise network, other manufacturers and distributors could provide similar products on comparable terms. See Note 11 for purchase commitments from our manufacturers for inventory. Discontinued Operations Pursuant to ASC 205-20 Discontinued Operations, in determining whether a group of assets that is disposed (or to be disposed) should be presented as a discontinued operation, we analyze whether the group of assets being disposed represents a component of the Company; that is, whether it had historic operations and cash flows that were clearly distinguished, both operationally and for financial reporting purposes. In addition, we consider whether the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. The results of discontinued operations, as well as any gain or loss on the disposal, if applicable, are aggregated and separately presented in our consolidated statements of operations, net of income taxes. The historical financial position of discontinued operations are aggregated and separately presented in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reclassifications Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation following the Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors, which includes the reclassification of the combined financial position and results of operations of FHV LLC as discontinued operations (see Note 12) for all periods presented. Net loss per share The Company calculates basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss and comprehensive net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive. Segment Information The Company relies upon ASC 280, Segment Reporting, For the periods presented, the Company determined that Reis and Irvy’s, Inc., and FHV, LLC (see Note 12 – Discontinued operations) were reportable operating segments; Generation Next Franchise Brands, Inc., 19 Degrees, Inc., Generation Next Vending Robots, The Fresh and Healthy Vending Corporation, FHV Acquisition, Corp. and FHV Acquisition, Corp. were not material segments and therefore have not been reported as such. Reis & Irvy’s, Inc. represents the sale of frozen yogurt and ice cream robots, franchise fees, royalties (12% of gross revenue) location fees, and product rebates. FHV, LLC represents the sale of fresh and healthy vending machines, franchise fees, royalties and product rebates. Related Party Transactions The Company has been involved in transactions with related parties. A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management, and 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. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has 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 is also a related party. Recent accounting standards In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330) Related to Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which applies to all inventory except that which is measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. Inventory measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost is within the scope of the new guidance and should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance is applied prospectively, and earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 effective July 1, 2017, which had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance for goodwill impairment which requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment and record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The option to perform a qualitative assessment first for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary does not change under the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance for employee share-based compensation which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including excess tax benefits, forfeiture estimates, statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statements of cash flows. This guidance was effective for the Company in fiscal year 2017. Under the new guidance any future excess tax benefits or deficiencies are recorded to the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations, instead of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, no excess tax benefits were recorded to additional paid-in capital that would have been recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842) Leases (Topic 840) Codification Improvements of Topic 842, Leases Leases (Topic 842 Targeted Improvements.” In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This five-step process will require significant management judgment in addition to changing the way many companies recognize revenue in their financial statements. Additionally, and among other provisions, the New Revenue Standard requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update change the accounting for certain stock-based compensation transactions, including the income tax consequences and cash flow classification for applicable transactions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements. Effective January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows” (Topic 230). This guidance clarifies diversity in practice on where in the Statement of Cash Flows to recognize certain transactions, including the classification of payment of contingent consideration for acquisitions between Financing and Operating activities. We are currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (Topic ASC 805), guidance 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 amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. This ASU is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. We are currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This ASU is effective prospectively for the annual period ending December 31, 2018 and interim periods within that annual period. We are currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “ Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement |
