ESIO WATER & BEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT CORP.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Diluted income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are options and warrants that are exercisable into common stock and convertible notes payable. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the income per share or decrease the loss per share. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were options and warrants outstanding to purchase 10,872,765 and 7,242,287, respectively, shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2012 there were convertible notes payable, plus accrued interest that was convertible into 2,640,999 Share Units (consisting of one share and one warrant). These were converted to 2,656,620 share units during July and August 2012. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation as their effect was anti-dilutive.
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements as follows:
The Company has implemented all new relevant accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

On August 14, 2012 the Company executed the Regional Developer Agreement (the “RDA”) and three franchise agreements (the “FA”) with ESIO Franchising, LLC (“EFC”) for the Dallas/Fort Worth region of Texas (the “Territory”) and three franchises therein. The Company paid $225,000 cash to EFC and issued a warrant valued at $299,612 in the year ended June 30, 2012 toward the purchase of the RDA and FA and $25,000 towards legal fees associated with the agreements. The agreements have a ten year term with an option to renew for two additional ten year periods.
On November 1, 2012 we entered into the Second Amendment to Regional Development Deposit Agreement with ESIO Franchising, LLC which delayed the dates which we must purchase our second and subsequent regional developer areas from EFC for an additional three months from November 1, 2012. The expiration dates for the five regional areas commenced on February 1, 2013 with the next region option expiring every 3 months thereafter through December 1, 2013. We paid $25,000 to EFC for this region option extension, of which $22,500 was to be credited against the purchase price of a region we acquired from EFC, and the balance of $2,500 related to legal fees for the agreement. In addition, we had an option to purchase Regional Development Franchises in the following Optioned Areas in the State of California: San Francisco, CA –Bay Area and Eureka; Sacramento, CA and Chico, Reno, Nevada; Orange County, CA; San Diego and Imperial, California; and Northwest Los Angeles, CA – Ventura to San Luis Obispo.

Through the period ended March 31, 2013, the Company had recorded amortization expense in the amount of $40,056 in relation to the license agreements.
Additionally, at that time, due to the bankruptcy proceeding, the company evaluated the carrying value of the license agreement and had determined that the undiscounted future cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the license agreement and therefore recorded and impairment loss in the amount of $532,056.
Note 5 – Notes Payable
On February 15, 2012, the Company entered into a note payable with an accredited investor in the amount of $250,000. The note had an original due of April 15, 2012. The note holder and the Company agreed to extend the term of the note through July 15, 2012, and modified the terms of the note to allow for conversion of the note payable into Share Units at the rate of four units per dollar of principal. In addition, as consideration for the extension, the Company issued the note holder a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares at $0.75 At the time of the modification, the Company recorded a discount on the note in the amount of $250,000 which arose due to the issuance of the warrant. In June 2012, the Company repaid $25,000 to the note holder. In addition, the note holder converted the remainder of the $225,000 note to 1,000,000 Share Units valued at $250,000; the Company recorded a loss of settlement of debt of $25,000.
During the year ended June 30, 2012, in relation to the aforementioned transactions, the Company has recorded a loss on the extinguishment of the note in the amount of $275,000.

The notes bore interest at the rate of 6% per annum and were convertible into Share Units (consisting of one common share and a warrant to purchase an additional common share at the price of $.75) at the rate of four units per dollar converted and were convertible at any time at the holders’ option. The notes were due one year from the date of issuance, and were due between April and June 2013.
At issuance the Company determined the notes should be discounted by the full $655,000 due to finder fees, warrants and beneficial conversion feature. At June 30, 2012, the unamortized discount on the convertible notes payable was $597,703. The discount was being amortized over the term of the notes.

| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | |
Federal loss carryforwards | | $ | 3,228,106 | | $ | 2,933,248 | |

| | $ | — | | $ | — | |
The Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets primarily because of uncertainty in the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
As a result of stock ownership changes, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses in the future could be limited, in whole or part, under Internal Revenue Code. As of June 30, 2013 the Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards were $9,223,160 and $1,537,176, respectively, and expire through 2033.
The Company’s tax expense differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the change in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
