To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Chemistry Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chemistry Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company suffered losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

CHEMISTRY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Business Operations
Chemistry Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chemistry Spirits, LLC (“Chemistry Spirits”) and Chemistry Labs, LLC (“Chemistry Labs”) (collectively (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “Chemistry Holdings”) is a highly innovative product creation and business growth partner to the food, beverage, nutrition, wellness, government and social impact communities. We utilize new technologies and new types of user-product interaction by pioneering disruptive products made from sustainable, ethical materials that are built to improve efficacy, stability, convenience, ease, visibility, customer immersion and customer engagement.
Our technology platform includes Macro Molecule (Chewable) and is a first of its kind product taking microencapsulation to a macro scale time released chewable. This single format chewable delivery system can be custom shaped, taste masks bitters without sugars, doesn’t require refrigeration and carries a greater payload of active then was previously possible. Capabilities also include various release mechanisms – immediate, delayed, sustained, and staged. Oral dissolving film (ODF) products are about the size of a postage stamp and composed of excipients such as polymers, stabilizers, lipids and surfactants which are all generally recognized as safe. They can be designed to deliver active ingredients to the gastrointestinal tract (GI) when placed on the tongue and swallowed, or directly to the blood stream when placed under the tongue (sublingual) or on the inner lining of the cheek and lip (buccal). Continuous Core Shell Capsule (Mix) is an ingredient technology developed to provide ingredient integrity to a wide range of actives. This dry free flowing powder can provide superior protection to ingredients from oxidation, natural light, moisture, humidity and other degrading factors. It can also be engineered to be water soluble and or compressed into a tablet. Its versatility is still producing additional derivative products.
Background
Chemistry Holdings is a Delaware corporation that was initially formed on February 11, 2016. On October 1, 2016, Chemistry Holdings acquired the assets of Chemistry Spirits, a California limited liability company, formed on August 11, 2009 The equity of Chemistry Spirits was contributed by its members to Chemistry Holdings on October 1, 2016, and its assets and patents were assigned to Chemistry Holdings. Chemistry Labs, LLC is a California limited liability company tht was initially formed on January 23, 2017.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chemistry Holdings, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chemistry Spirits and Chemistry Labs. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s development and commercialization of its technology platform represents the principal operations of the Company.
Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.7 million and a negative working capital of approximately $0.2 million. Our operating activities consume the majority of our cash resources. However, during 2018 the Company’s net loss decreased by $0.8 million and cash used by operations was near breakeven. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses, although at a lower level, as we execute our commercialization and research and development plans, as well as strategic and business development initiatives. We have previously funded, and plan to continue funding, our losses primarily through the sale of common and preferred stock, combined with or without warrants, and the sale of notes. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain such funds required for our operations at terms acceptable to us or at all.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets and the assumptions used to calculate fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.
Cash and 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. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any amounts in excess of the federal insurance limit.
Property and Equipment
The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and equipment, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been extended; or (3) all land, regardless of cost. Acquisitions of new assets, additions, replacements and improvements (other than land) costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and repair costs, including any planned maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method on the following estimated useful lives:
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company recorded advertising costs of $0 and $576 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Research and Development
Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and processes are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. The Company recorded research and development expenses of $6,295 and $100,570 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company generated a deferred tax asset through net operating loss carry-forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization of the net operating loss carry forward prior to its expiration.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use. |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes and loans payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes and convertible promissory notes approximates the estimated fair value for these instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company’s debt and the interest payable on the notes approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue Recognition”. The Company adopted Topic 606 using a modified retrospective approach for the years ended December 31, 2017 and prior and has been applied prospectively in the Company’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2018. Revenues under Topic 606 are required to be recognized either at a “point in time” or “over time”, depending on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement, and will be evaluated using a five-step model. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, at initial implementation nor will it have a material impact on an ongoing basis.
To achieve the core principle of Topic 606, we perform the following steps:
1. | Identify the contract(s) with customer; |
2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
3. | Determine the transactions price; |
4. | Allocate the transactions price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. |
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents (stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be dilutive. Net loss is adjusted for the dilutive effect of the change in fair value liability for price adjustable warrants, if applicable.
The following number of shares have been excluded from diluted net income (loss) since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2018 | | | 2017 | |
| | | | | | |
Stock options outstanding | | | 1,203,310 | | | | - | |
Warrants | | | 1,000,000 | | | | 1,000,000 | |
| | | | | | | | |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The purpose is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption was not permitted except for limited provisions. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). This guidance, as amended by subsequent ASU’s on the topic, improves transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU No. 2016-02 in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019 and will use the alternative transition method provided by the FASB in ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, with no restatement of comparative periods.
The new standard provides optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to only elect the “package of practical expedients” where, under the new standard, prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs do not need to be reassessed. The new standard also provides practical expedients for ongoing accounting and we do not expect to elect any of these practical expedients on adoption. We continue to assess the impact of the new standard and believe it will not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard requires recognition of the income tax effects of vested or settled awards in the income statement and involves several other aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows upon adoption.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, to clarify certain core recognition principles including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein, and that would also permit public entities to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date as applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance allows for the amendment to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2016-12 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company did not early adopt. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities 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 new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The amendments of this ASU became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-7, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance supersedes ASC 505-50 and expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and employees. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance permits early adoption and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
There are various other updates recently issued, however, they are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $198,191 and $234,911, respectively.
NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.
Effective December 22, 2017, a new tax bill was signed into law that reduced the federal income tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21%.
The Company generated a deferred tax asset through net operating loss carry-forwards. Management of the Company’s analysis indicates the net operating losses would be subject to significant limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has not completed its IRC Section 382 Valuation, as required and the NOL’s because of potential Change of Ownerships might limit the usage or render the NOL’s completely worthless. Therefore, Management of the Company based upon Management’s evaluation has recorded a Full Valuation Reserve (100%), since it is more likely than not that no benefit will be realized for the Deferred Tax Assets.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions.
The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a domestic (US) 21 percent marginal tax rate by the cumulative Net Operating Loss Carryforwards (“NOL”). The net deferred tax asset and the associated valuation allowance decreased by approximately $203,000 in 2018 due to the reduction in the Federal tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company currently has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,460,000 which expire through 2038. The deferred tax asset related to the NOL carryforwards Management has determined based on all the available information that a 100% Valuation reserve is required.
The provision for incomes taxes for the years ending December 31 is as follows:
