ATTIS INDUSTRIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Attis Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively called the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company as filed with the SEC. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 contained herein was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures included in the Form 10-K for Attis Industries Inc., and applicable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted or condensed.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2018, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

 

An amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to change the name of the Company to Attis Industries Inc. became effective on April 23, 2018.

 

Historically, the Company was a regional, vertically integrated solid waste services company that provided collection, transfer, disposal and landfill services. This set of businesses was held for sale beginning on December 6, 2017. As of April 20, 2018, in connection with the closing of the sale of this set of companies, the results of such operations are classified as losses from discontinued operations.

 

The Company was previously primarily in the business of residential and commercial waste disposal and hauling and had contracts with various cities and municipalities. The majority of the Company’s customers were located in the St. Louis metropolitan and surrounding areas and throughout central Virginia.

 

On February 15, 2017, the Company, in order to expand its geographical footprint to new markets outside of the state of Missouri, acquired 100% of the membership interests of The CFS Group, LLC, The CFS Group Disposal & Recycling Services, LLC and RWG5, LLC (“The CFS Group”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated February 15, 2017. This acquisition was consummated to further define the Company’s growth strategy of targeting and expanding within vertically integrated markets and serve as a platform for further growth (see Note 3, Acquisitions).

 

The discontinued operations of the Company operated under seven separate Limited Liability Companies:

 

(1) Here To Serve Missouri Waste Division, LLC (“HTSMWD”), a Missouri Limited Liability Company;

(2) Here To Serve Georgia Waste Division, LLC (“HTSGWD”), a Georgia Limited Liability Company;

(3) Meridian Land Company, LLC (“MLC”), a Georgia Limited Liability Company;

(4) Christian Disposal, LLC and subsidiary (“CD”), a Missouri Limited Liability Company;

(5) The CFS Group, LLC;

(6) The CFS Group Disposal & Recycling Services, LLC; and

(7) RWG5, LLC

  

Attis Industries Inc. f/k/a Meridian Waste Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “Attis”) is now an innovative technology company which focuses on biomass innovation and healthcare technologies. Attis generally operates two lines of business currently: technologies (the “Technologies Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobile Science Technologies, Inc.; and innovations (the “Innovations Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Attis Innovations, LLC. Attis’ Technologies Business centers on creating community-based synergies through healthcare collaborations and software solutions and the Innovation Business strives to create value from recovered resources, through advanced byproduct technologies and assets found in downstream production. The Technologies Division of the Company, sometimes referred to herein as “Attis Healthcare”, includes our healthcare group. Our healthcare group focuses on improving patient care and providing cost-saving opportunities through innovative, compliant, and comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for patients and healthcare providers. We offer a broad portfolio of what we believe to be best-in-class solutions, combined with insight and expertise, to give providers tools that lead to healthier patients and communities. Attis Healthcare offers products and services in a variety of areas, including hospital consulting services for both laboratory services and emergency department revenue enhancement, polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) molecular testing, pharmacogenetics (“PGx”) testing, and medication therapy management. 

 

The Company’s operations held for use operate under the following Limited Liability Companies:

 

(1) Mobile Science Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein as “Attis Healthcare”); and

(2) Attis Innovations, LLC (“Innovations”).

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 include the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) owned 20% by the Company (and included in discontinued operations) and a VIE owned approximately 70% by the Company (included in continuing operations).

 

Effective May 25, 2018, the Company acquired 4,900 membership interest units of Genarex FD LLC (“GFD”) corresponding to 49% of the issued and outstanding equity of GFD. The remaining 51% of the Company is owned by Sutra Sails L.L.C. (“Sutra”), which entity holds the super-majority voting and management control of the Company. The Company accounts for this as an unconsolidated equity investment and accordingly, records the Company’s share of the GFD net loss on the statement of operations.

 

The Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Mobile Science Technologies, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“MSTI”) which was deemed to be an entity under common control during the second quarter of 2017. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information for all periods presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805. Specifically, the consolidated financial statements include the financial information of MSTI for all periods presented. 

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring operating losses in recent years. Because of these losses, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $19,000,000 at June 30, 2018, excluding current assets and current liabilities held for sale. The conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the working capital deficit can be satisfied with additional capital raises, cash on hand at June 30, 2018, the sale of the waste services division, and the growth of our innovations and technology division. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in implementing its strategy.

On February 20, 2018, Attis Industries Inc. signed an agreement with Warren Equity Partners (“WEP”), which closed on April 20, 2018, to sell the waste operations of the Company to WEP. As part of this sale the Company eliminated a majority of its debt, as well as the approximately $11,000,000 annual debt service payments. The Company received $3,000,000 in cash as part of the sale. We also have a revised credit agreement from our primary lender with more favorable terms this will help to execute our growth strategy without the encumbrances of the substantial debt and recurring losses of the waste operations (see Note 6, Notes Payable and Convertible Notes). 

 

Post-close, the Company will focus on growing its Innovations and Technology divisions. In anticipation of the sale of the waste division the Company purchased Verifi Labs in November of 2017. Additionally, we have set up a commercial and federal lab, both of which will become operational in August of 2018.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had approximately $280,000 in cash, in its continued operations, to cover its short- term cash requirements. The Company is still evaluating raising additional capital through the public markets as well as looking for capital partners to assist with operating activities and growth strategies.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, account payable, accrued expenses, contingent consideration arrangement, shortfall provision payable and notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to length of maturity of these instruments.

 

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation put option Black-Scholes-Merton model. For less complex derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, the Company generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of this accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative loss. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given year result in the application of non-cash derivative gain.

 

See Notes 6, Notes Payable and Convertible Notes, Note 8, Shareholders’ Equity and Note 9, Fair Value Measurement for a description and valuation of the Company’s derivative instruments.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company assesses the valuation of components of its property and equipment and other long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances dictate that the carrying value might not be recoverable. The Company bases its evaluation on indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such factors indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred by analyzing an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If the estimate of undiscounted cash flows during the estimated useful life of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, generally measured by the present value of the estimated cash flows. No impairments were noted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized. The Company has deferred tax liabilities related to its intangible assets, which were approximately $158,000 as of June 30, 2018.

 

The Company follows the provisions of the ASC 740 related to, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

The Company analyzes its tax positions by utilizing ASC 740 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open.

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

Management estimates and judgments are an integral part of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the critical accounting policies described in this section address the more significant estimates required of management when preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

 

We consider an accounting estimate critical if changes in the estimate may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustment to these balances in future periods.

 

SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

We determined our reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). We evaluate a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. We then evaluate each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, we evaluate those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, we determine if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non-interest-bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Accounts receivable in excess of 90 days old are evaluated for delinquency. Accounts receivable are recorded at management’s estimate of net realizable value. At June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 the Company had approximately $395,000 and $860,000 of trade receivables, net, respectively.

 

Our reported balance of accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents our estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. We review the adequacy and adjust our allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends and the age of the receivables and knowledge of our individual customers. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the oldest unpaid invoices. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company had approximately $717,000 and $0 recorded for the allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at its historical cost. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives (ranging from 3 -39 years) of the related assets utilizing the straight-line method of depreciation. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated (amortized) over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred and major repairs will be capitalized and expensed if it benefits future periods. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal, and repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company accounts for its intangible assets pursuant to ASC 350-20-55-24, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. Under ASC 350, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the asset’s estimated fair value with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology. Intangibles with definite lives are subject to impairment testing in the event of certain indicators. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.

 

Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has intangible assets subject to amortization related to its asset purchase of Advanced Lignin Biocomposite Patents and the acquisition of WelNess Benefits, LLC and Integrity Labs, LLC. In June of 2017, the Company recorded $221,146 of impairment expense on the MSTI capitalized software.

VALUATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to our financial statements. The Company periodically review estimates and assumptions, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which the revision is made. The revisions to estimates or assumptions during the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements were not considered to be significant.  

 

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

 

Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of its equity method investee’s earnings or losses is included in other income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

 

GOODWILL

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of November 30, and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Topic 350: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which eliminated step two from the goodwill impairment test. In assessing impairment on goodwill, the Company first analyzes qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The qualitative factors the Company assesses include long-term prospects of its performance, share price trends and market capitalization and Company-specific events. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the Company does not need to perform the quantitative impairment test. If based on that assessment, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value or the Company decides to opt out of this step, a quantitative goodwill impairment test will be performed by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. A goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. Any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. As a result of our November 30, 2017 impairment test, the Company recognized a $6.0 million impairment related to our then Midatlantic waste removal business, which is included in loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. Goodwill was reduced by approximately $7,230,000 as a result of the sale of the waste companies. No impairment was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

  

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers and its amendments with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018. ASC Topic 606 sets forth a five-step model for determining when and how revenue is recognized. Under the model, an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.

 

The Company applied the modified retrospective approach under ASC 606 which allows for the cumulative effect of adopting the new guidance on the date of initial application. Use of the modified retrospective approach means the Company’s comparative periods prior to initial application are not restated. The initial application was applied to all contracts at the date of the initial application. The Company has determined that the adjustments using the modified retrospective approach did not have a material impact on the date of the initial application along with the disclosure of the effect on prior periods.

Revenue from continuing operations consisted of referral and management related lab testing fees of $758,000 and management fees related to the management of laboratory services of $99,000.

 

In relation to the lab testing fees, the Company receives revenues from the referral of blood and toxicology testing services. As compensation for the referral and management services rendered hereunder, the Company gets paid a percentage of the net collected revenue of the hospital outreach laboratory as it pertains to samples processed as part of its outpatient outreach program. The amount of revenue varies based off the sample type. Our earned fees are paid weekly based upon all the net collected revenue received by the hospital during the period following the previous payment date. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation when the testing has occurred as that completes our performance obligation. There are no variable consideration estimates, service type warranties or other significant management estimates related to our recognition of this revenue.

 

In relation to our management service agreement revenue, the Company manages a hospital’s laboratory and serves as the sole and exclusive provider of non-patient lab administrative and management consulting services including the day-to-day management assistance, administrative and support services for, and on behalf of the laboratory related to the operation of its facility. In this arrangement, the management fee is a fixed monthly amount that does not vary with the number of procedures performed. This service is governed by a management service agreement and our performance obligation is the performance of the management services. There are no variable revenue components and revenue is recognized ratably over the month as the services are performed. The Company does not offer any service type warranties and there are no other significant management estimates related to our recognition of this revenue.

 

The Company recognizes revenue related to the JVCo when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from management fees payable under the JVCo operating and management agreements upon receipt of payment. The Company anticipates generating revenue in the future from third parties in addition to management fees, resulting in revenue from technology royalties and related services and products. If they occur in the future, licensing royalties will be recognized as earned by calculating the royalty as a percentage of gross sales by licensees. For the purposes of assessing royalties, the licensee’s sales will be deemed to occur when shipped, which is when four basic criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured, and (iv) product delivery has occurred, which is generally upon shipment to the buyer of the products produced with the licensed technology. To the extent revenues are generated from the Company’s licensing support services in the future, the Company will recognize such revenues when the services are completed and billed. Any such services will be provided on fixed price contracts. Revenue from any such contracts will be recognized on a pro rata basis over the life of the contract as they are generally performed evenly over the contract period. The Company additionally anticipates performing services under fixed-price contracts involving design, engineering, procurement, installation, and start-up of production systems based on the Company’s technologies. Revenues and fees on these contracts will be recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Our percentage-of-completion methods may further include the efforts-expended percentage-of-completion method and the cost-to-cost method. The efforts-expended method utilizes using measures such as task duration and completion. The efforts-expended approach is used in situations where it is more representative of progress on a contract than the cost-to-cost or the labor-hours method. The Company will use the cost-to-cost method to determine the percentage of completion of a project based on the actual costs incurred. Earnings will be recognized periodically based upon our estimate of contract revenues and costs in providing the services required under the contract. The percentage of completion method must be used in lieu of the completed contract method when all of the following are present: reasonably reliable estimates can be made of revenue and costs; the construction contract specifies the parties’ rights as to the goods, consideration to be paid and received, and the resulting terms of payment or settlement; the contract purchaser has the ability and expectation to perform all contractual duties; and the contract contractor has the same ability and expectation to perform. Under the completed contract method income will be recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially completed. The asset, “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” in such instances will represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Likewise, the liability, “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” will represent billings in excess of revenues recognized.

 

Revenue related to our discontinued operations consists of solid waste services performed including the collection, hauling, transfer, disposal of waste and landfill services. The Company primarily focused on residential and commercial waste disposal and hauling and has contracts with various cities and municipalities in Missouri and Virginia. Our performance obligations under these contracts tend to be singular in nature such as period pick-ups at specified times or the physical storing of waste. Our pricing is fixed and contractually stated with any variable revenue components such as discounts and rebates being immaterial to revenue as a whole. Revenue is recognized as the service is performed which for periodic pick up is ratably over the pick-up period and for transfer and disposal services it is when such transfer and disposal has taken place.

BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding stock warrants and options for 23,578,208 and 11,472 common shares, respectively. Also, at June 30, 2018 the Company had outstanding Preferred Stock Series D, E, F and G convertible in to 2,166,910, 3,262,015, 5,065,240 and 40,520,000 shares, respectively. These are not presented in the consolidated statements of operations as the effect of these shares is anti-dilutive. 

 

At December 31, 2017 the Company had outstanding stock warrants and options for 13,154,872 and 11,472 common shares, respectively. Also, at December 31, 2017 the Company had outstanding Preferred Stock Series D and E convertible in to 1,410,000 and 3,000,000 shares, respectively. These are not presented in the consolidated statements of operations as the effect of these shares is anti dilutive.

  

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

 

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 require 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 service 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.

 

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $203,000 and $70,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in compensation, professional fees and related expense on the statement of operations.

 

ACCOUNTING FOR ACQUISITIONS

 

Effective May 25, 2018, the Company, Attis’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Innovations, GreenShift Corporation (“GreenShift”), and GreenShift’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GS CleanTech Corporation (“CleanTech”), among others, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“JVCo Acquisition Transaction”) and related transaction documents pursuant to which the Company acquired 80% of the membership interest units (“80% Units”) of FLUX Carbon LLC (“JVCo”). Under the acquisition method of accounting outlined in ASC 805, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the JVCo Acquisition Transaction are recorded at their acquisition date fair values and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial position.

  

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12), which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2019 and does not expect a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 12 

 

 

Stock Compensation. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09) to provide clarity and reduce both the (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when changing the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting is required to be applied unless all of the following are the same immediately before and after the change:

 

  1. The award’s fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if those measurement methods are used);

 

  2. The award’s vesting conditions; and

 

  3. The award’s classification as an equity or liability instrument.

 

The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and it did not have a significant impact an impact on the financial statements.

  

Statement of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15), which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230) (ASU 2016-18), which requires the inclusion of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are both effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The amendments will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted these guidances in the first quarter of 2018 and it did not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2020 and is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2019 and is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial Instruments. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which requires that most equity investments be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also impacts financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Entities will have to assess the realizability of such deferred tax assets in combination with the entities other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within that reporting period. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company will elect to adopt the measurement alternative, which will apply this ASU prospectively, for its equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 13 

 

 

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The objective of this amendment is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying this amendment, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. This amendment applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. An entity should apply the amendments using either the full retrospective approach or retrospectively with a cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized at the date of initial application. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred May 25, 2018 of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has not yet selected which transition method it will apply upon adoption. Historically, the Company has not generated any revenue. The Company will continue to evaluate and will quantify the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our revenue streams when they occur. When our evaluations do occur, The Company does not expect material changes to its accounting policies.

  

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

       

FLUX CARBON LLC JVCO ACQUISITION TRANSACTION

 

Effective May 25, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, Innovations, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GreenShift, and GreenShift’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GS CleanTech, and Candent Corporation (“Candent”) among others, entered into a SPA and related transaction documents pursuant to which Attis acquired 80% of the membership interest units (“80% Units”) of JVCo, and $10,000,000 of GreenShift’s subordinate secured debt, in exchange for an earn-out based purchase price equal to the greater of (i) $18,000,000 (“Floor Price”); (ii) five (5) times Company’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2018, 2019, and 2020; (iii) four (4) times Company’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2021, 2022, and 2023; (iv) three (3) times Company’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2024 and 2025; (v) two (2) times Company’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2026; or (vi), one (1) times Company’s Consolidated EBITDA during 2027. The agreements additionally call for Attis to pay $200,000 over sixty days, and for GreenShift to pay certain working capital surplus equal to about $200,000 to the Company. An initial payment against the SPA purchase price was paid at Closing in the form of 2,000,000 restricted shares of Attis’s common stock and 180,000 shares of Attis’s Series G Stock. GreenShift is required to use the first proceeds received upon sale of the shares to pay or refinance its senior secured debt. In connection with closing under the SPA, 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Advanced Lignin Biocomposites LLC (“ALB”) and 49% of the issued and outstanding equity of Genarex FD LLC (“GFD”) was transferred to JVCo.

 

The SPA transaction documents also include an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Attis Operating Agreement and a Management Agreement (“Company Agreements”) under which GreenShift and CleanTech have in essence ‘outsourced’ its operations to the Company, which the parties have agreed to fully capitalize to meet a number of specific objectives, including servicing the continuing and future needs of licensees, investing in growth with the parties’ combined intellectual properties, protecting GreenShift’s intellectual properties, and supporting all pending and future litigation for infringement and related matters. The Company agreements further require that no distributions shall be paid by the Company prior to the date on which GreenShift’s senior secured lender is fully paid.

 

On and subject to the terms and conditions of the SPA and related transaction documents, at the Closing, GreenShift issued to Attis a subordinate secured convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 (“Debenture”). Commencing November 22, 2018, the Debenture shall be convertible into GreenShift’s common stock at the sole and exclusive option of the holder in one or more installments up to 9.9% of the GreenShift’s issued and outstanding common stock at the time of conversion (when taken with any other shares of GreenShift common stock held by the holder at the time of conversion). The Debenture converts into GreenShift common stock at the greater of (i) $0.10 per share or (ii) 100% of the lowest closing market price per share for the GreenShift common stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days preceding conversion. The Debenture shall accrue interest at the lesser of 2% or the minimum allowable rate under applicable law and shall be waived if the GreenShift Debenture is converted or otherwise fully paid on or before June 30, 2028. The Debenture shall be exclusively paid in the form of GreenShift common stock, provided, however, that the principal balance due under the Debenture shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis in an amount equal to any distributions paid as provided for in the SPA and Company Agreements.

Effective May 25, 2018, Attis Industries, Inc. acquired 4,900 membership interest units of GFD corresponding to 49% of the issued and outstanding equity of GFD. The remaining 51% of GFD is owned by Sutra, which entity holds the super-majority voting and management control of GFD.

 

GFD was formed as a research and development platform for developing sustainable bio-based products for the plastics industry. GFD takes low cost by-products from the corn ethanol industry and has developed cost effective additives for the plastics industry. This drives the cost of plastics down using renewable non-fossil fuel-based feedstock.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the JVCo assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

  

Long-term Note receivable   10,000,000 
Intangible Intellectual Property   18,000,000 
Purchase price  $28,000,000 

 

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The standard allows for provisional amounts to be recorded related to a business combination in the event the accounting is yet to be compete at the end of a reporting period. Entities have up to one year from the effective date of a business combination, referred to a s a measurement period, to adjust any provisional amounts recorded. The Company is finalizing the estimate of fair value amounts in connection with this acquisition. The completion of the fair value assessment of assets acquired is anticipated to be finalized before the measurement period. The measurement period for this acquisition ends on May 25, 2019. The Company will disclose any changes to the accounting of the acquisition, if any, in future reporting periods.

  

The following tables set forth certain unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data for the three months ended 6/30/18 and 6/30/17 and for the six months ended 6/30/18 and 6/30/17. We have derived the data from unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such quarterly information. The operating results for any period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. These results are updated for continuing operations.

So long as no default or event of default has occurred that is then continuing, the New Credit Companies have the option to convert any part of the Loan equal to $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof into a “Base Rate Loan” or a “LIBOR Rate Loan.” Base Rate Loans bear interest at the greatest of (i) the rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section as the Prime Rate in effect on such date, (ii) the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers in effect on such day, plus one-half of 1%, (iii) the sum of (1) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined below) for a period of one month and (2) 1.00%, in each instance, as of such day, and (iv) 4.25%, plus 7.00%.

JVCo is subject to a first priority lien granted in favor of Candent Corporation (“Candent”) on February 18, 2015, under a guaranty agreement executed by JVCo in connection with the issuance by JVCo’s former parent company, EXO Opportunity Fund LLC (“EXO”) of a $15 million senior secured loan to Candent on the same date. Effective May 25, 2018, on and subject to applicable agreements, Candent agreed to release the foregoing first priority security interest and lien upon satisfaction by JVCo’s parent company, Attis, and its affiliates of certain conditions under the SPA.

 

ALB is party to a license agreement with UT-Battelle LLC, the manager and operator of Oak Ridge National Laboratory under contract with the United States Department of Energy. The license called for $12,500 to be paid upon execution, and an ongoing royalty of 1.5% to 2.5% of ALB’s (and/or its affiliate’s or designee’s) net sales, if applicable. ALB’s parent company as of March 31, 2017, Innovations, paid the execution fee on ALB’s behalf upon execution of the license, and released ALB from any payment obligation in connection with said amount. Neither ALB, nor any of its affiliates, have generated net sales with the intellectual properties covered by the Oakridge license.

On February 23, 2015, the Company and GS CleanTech Corporation (“CleanTech”) entered into a contingent litigation financing agreement (“Litigation Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to cover all costs of recovery for litigation matters commenced on or before February 23, 2015 in exchange for 125% of all costs and expenses of recovery, plus a contingent recovery fee payable to CleanTech’s litigation counsel (“Litigation Counsel”) or its designee equal to 25% of all recovered amounts. To ensure payment, the Litigation Financing Agreement required the assignment of the applicable receivables, including rights to collect damages and other amounts arising upon default of underlying agreements, to the Company. The applicable damages relate further to certain disputed restricted cash and accounts receivable balances. The restricted cash relates to amounts deposited into an escrow account pending completion of settlement. That amount increases at the rate of about $125,000 per month. The accounts receivable relates to amounts in default as of February 23, 2015, but that increase on a monthly basis under applicable agreements. While litigation has not yet commenced in connection with any of the foregoing amounts, and settlement discussions are ongoing, filing suit is likely to be necessary in several instances. The Company has accordingly determined that collectability was not reasonably assured as of each relevant reporting date. The corresponding revenues were therefore not recognized. In addition, the restricted cash and accounts receivable above were otherwise deemed to be subject to a 100% valuation allowance as of March 31, 2018.

 

NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

TREASURY STOCK

 

During 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase of 11,500 shares of its common stock for approximately $230,000 at an average price of $20.00 per share. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company holds 11,500 shares of its common stock in its treasury.

 

PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, for which seven classes have been designated to date. Series A has 51 and 51 shares issued and outstanding, Series B has 0 and 0 shares issued and outstanding, Series C has 0 and 0 shares issued and outstanding, Series D has 106,950 and 141,000 shares issued and outstanding, Series E has 161,000 and 300,000 shares issued and outstanding, and Series F has 2,500 and 0 shares issued and outstanding and Series G has 202,600 and 0 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has no conversion rights, is senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company and has special voting rights. Each one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator.

   

Private Placement of Series D Preferred Stock, Common Stock and Warrants

 

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company completed a private placement offering to accredited investors (the “Offering”) of $1,410,000 of units (the “Units”), with each Unit comprised of (i) one (1) share of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), (ii) fifteen (15) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.025 per share (“Common Stock”), and (iii) three (3) shares of Common Stock, at a per unit purchase price of $10.00. In addition, shares of common stock were issued and identified in the agreement as the prepayment of the first year of dividends.

  

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 34,050 shares of Series D Preferred stock was converted under its contractual terms into 340,500 shares of common stock. In accordance with ASC 470, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of approximately $212,000 upon conversion which represented the unamortized discount on these converted Series D Preferred Shares.

MARCH MODIFICATION – SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK

 

On March 13, 2018, the Company made certain changes to the Series D Preferred Stock and Series D Warrants including amending the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Series D Warrants to $0.94. In addition, a down round provision was added to both instruments that resets the conversion price and exercise price of these instruments if a future equity offering occurs at a lower exercise, conversion or sales price or if a current equity offering resets to a lower exercise, conversion or sales price.

 

In relation to the warrants, the Company determined the fair values of the unmodified warrants and modified warrants at the modification date and recognized the incremental increase in fair value as a deemed dividend of approximately $90,000. Further, given the warrants can reset based on something other than a future equity offering, such as a triggering event change to the Series F instruments, the Company cannot assert that the Series D Warrants are indexed to our own stock. Accordingly, the Series D Warrants are now classified as warrant liabilities and will be subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value being recorded as unrealized gain or loss on derivatives. A rollforward of the Series D warrant liability balance is as follows:

 

March 13, 2018 Pre Modification – Equity  $1,096,758 
Change in Fair Value due to modification   89,827 
March 13, 2018 Reclass Liability   1,186,585 
Change in Fair Value   (138,207)
March 31, 2018 Fair Value   1,048,378 
Change in Fair Value   (682,464)
June 30, 2018 Fair Value  $365,914 

  

The Company used a Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the Series D warrants (pre-modification) at March 13, 2018 with the following key assumptions: (1) Stock price - $0.64; (2) Exercise price - $1.44; (3) Term – 4.5 years; (4) Risk free rate of return – 2.62%; and (5) Volatility – 140%. The Company used a modified binomial lattice model to value the Series D warrants (post modification) at March 13, 2018 and June 30, 2018 with the following key assumptions:

 

   March 13,
2018
   June 30,
2018
 
         
Stock Price  $0.64   $0.38 
Exercise Price  $0.94   $0.49 
Term (years)   4.50    4.19 
Risk Free Rate   2.62%   2.73%
Volatility   140.4%   133.0%

 

In relation to the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company determined the modification changed the fair value of the embedded conversion option and instrument as a whole by more than 10% of carrying value and thus extinguishment accounting was appropriate. In accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2, the Company remeasured the Series D Preferred Stock to its post modification fair value of $1,269,000 with the excess value over the prior carrying balance of $403,000 being recognized as a deemed dividend of $866,000 as of March 31, 2018.

 

On May 7, 2018 the down round provision was triggered and the conversion price of the preferred stock was lowered from $0.94 to $0.49356. Under the early adopted ASU 2017-11, convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options). In accordance with ASC 2017-11-2, the Company recognized the incremental beneficial conversion feature the Series D Preferred Stock in regards to the number of shares after the down round provision was triggered which resulted in a difference of 1,029,144 additional shares to be issued being recognized as a deemed dividend of $739,548 as of the three months ended June 30, 2018.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK, COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

 

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company completed a private placement offering to accredited investors (the “Offering”) of $3,000,000 of units (the “Units”), with each Unit comprised of (i) one (1) share of Series E Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), (ii) fifteen (15) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.025 per share (“Common Stock”), at a per unit purchase price of $10.00. In addition, shares of common stock were issued and identified in the agreement as the prepayment of the first year of dividends.

 

The holders of shares of the Series E Preferred shall be entitled to receive quarterly dividends out of any assets legally available, to the extent permitted by New York law, at an annual rate equal to 20% of the stated value of the shares of Series E Preferred. Dividends for the first year will be payable in advance.

 

In total the Company issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, 4,500,000 Warrants and with an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock issued to investors in the Offering as dividends for Series E Preferred Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 76,050 shares were converted in to 760,500 shares of common stock. At June 30, 2018 there are 223,950 shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding, convertible in to 2,223,950 shares of common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 203,593 shares of Series E Preferred stock was converted under its contractual terms into 2,035,930 shares of common stock. In accordance with ASC 470, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of approximately $387,000 upon conversion which represented the unamortized discount on these converted Series E Preferred Shares.

 

MARCH MODIFICATION – SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK

 

On March 13, 2018, the Company made certain changes to the Series E Preferred Stock and Series E Warrants including amending the conversion price of the Series E Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Series E Warrants to $0.94. In addition, a round down provision was added to both instruments that resets the conversion price and exercise price of these instruments if a future equity offering occurs at a lower exercise, conversion or sales price or if a current equity offering resets to a lower exercise, conversion or sales price.

 

In relation to the warrants, the Company determined the fair values of the unmodified warrants and modified warrants at the modification date and recognized the incremental increase in fair value as a deemed dividend of approximately $145,000. Further, given the warrants can reset based on something other than a future equity offering, such as a triggering event change to the Series F instruments, the Company cannot assert that the Series E Warrants are indexed to our own stock. Accordingly, the Series E Warrants are now classified as warrant liabilities and will be subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value being recorded as unrealized gain or loss on derivatives. A rollforward of the Series E warrant liability balance is as follows:

 

March 13, 2018 Pre Modification - Equity  $2,390,687 
Change in Fair Value due to modification   145,085 
March 13, 2018 Reclass Liability   2,535,772 
Change in Fair Value   (295,226)
March 31, 2018 Fair Value   2,240,546 
Change in Fair Value   (1,462,885)
June 30, 2018 Fair Value  $777,661 

  

 21 

 

 

The Company used a Black-scholes-Merton model to value the Series E warrants (pre-modification) at March 13, 2018 with the following key assumptions: (1) Stock price - $0.64; (2) Exercise price - $1.20; (3) Term – 4.58 years; (4) Risk free rate of return – 2.62%; and (5) Volatility – 140%. The Company used a modified binomial lattice model to value the Series E warrants (post modification) at March 13, 2018 and June 30, 2018 with the following key assumptions:

 

   March 13,
2018
   June 30,
2018
 
         
Stock Price  $0.64   $0.38 
Exercise Price  $0.94   $0.49 
Term (years)   4.58    4.32 
Risk Free Rate   2.62%   2.73%
Volatility   140.4%   133.0%

 

In relation to the Series E Preferred Stock, the Company determined the modification changed the fair value of the embedded conversion option and instrument as a whole by more than 10% of carrying value and thus extinguishment accounting was appropriate. In accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2, the Company remeasured the Series E Preferred Stock to its post modification fair value of $2,717,000 with the excess value over the prior carrying balance of $957,000 being recognized as a deemed dividend of $1,760,783 as of March 31, 2018.

 

On May 7, 2018 the down round provision was triggered and the conversion price of the preferred stock was lowered from $0.94 to $0.49356. Under the early adopted ASU 2017-11, convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options). In accordance with ASC 2017-11-2, the Company recognized the incremental beneficial conversion feature the Series D Preferred Stock in regards to the number of shares after the down round provision was triggered which resulted in a difference of 2,154,995 additional shares to be issued being recognized as a deemed dividend of $1,548,590 as of the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS

 

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed a private placement offering to accredited investors of 2,500 units for $2,250,000, with each unit consisting of (i) 2,500 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”); and (ii) 5,319,141 Series A warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In relation to this offering, the Company paid a placement agent an aggregate cash fee of $180,000, reimbursed $40,000 of the placement agent’s expenses, and issued the placement agent 200,000 warrants, in substantially the same form as the warrants issued in the investment unit.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Closing, after deducting the foregoing fees and other Offering expenses, was approximately $2,002,000. 

 

The holders of shares of the Series F Preferred shall be entitled to receive quarterly dividends out of any assets legally available, to the extent permitted by New York law, at an annual rate equal to 8% of the stated value of the shares of Series F Preferred. Dividends for the first year will be payable in advance.

 

The Warrants are five-year warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.95 per share subject to adjustment in accordance with the price resets set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock designations, exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance thereof. The Warrants provide for cashless exercise to the extent that there is no registration statement available for the underlying shares of Common Stock. Upon a reduction to the exercise price of such warrants, the number of warrant shares shall increase such that the aggregate exercise price will remain the same.

 

Both the Series F Preferred Stock and the Series A warrants contain a down round provision that resets the conversion price and exercise price of these instruments if a future equity offering occurs at a lower exercise, conversion or sales price or if a current equity offering resets to a lower exercise, conversion or sales price. In addition, the Series F Preferred Stock can reset based upon a lower stock price on certain trigger dates such as: (1) 30 days after the effective date of any registration statement related to this offering; (2) 30 days after shareholder approval of the transaction; (3) 30 days after the six month anniversary of the transaction; (4) the tenth day following the announcement of an asset sale; and (5) potentially 30 days after the one year anniversary if certain public information requirements under Rule 144c are not complied with and there is no effective registration statement.

As a result of the triggering event clause in the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series A, Series B, Class D, and Class E warrants can reset based on something other than a future equity offering, and as such the Company cannot assert that these warrants are indexed to our own stock. Accordingly, these warrants require classification as warrant liabilities and will be subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value being recorded as unrealized gain or loss on derivatives. The Company reviewed the impact of this clause on the conversion feature of the Series F Preferred Stock itself and determined that the embedded conversion option is clearly and closely related to the host instrument and thus no bifurcation is required.

 

As the Series A warrants issued within this investment unit are deemed to be warrant liabilities, they must be presented at fair value. Thus, in terms of allocating the proceeds of this offering, the proceeds are first allocated to the instrument initially and subsequently measured at fair value (warrants) and the remaining proceeds, if any, are allocated to the Series F Preferred Stock. The Company calculated the warrant’s fair value at issuance as $6,216,000. Such amount exceeded net proceeds by $4,214,000 which is recognized as a deemed dividend. In addition, the warrant liability was remarked to fair value at June 30, 2018 which was determined to be $4,490,000 which resulted in an unrealized gain on derivatives of $1,708,000 as of June 30, 2018.

 

A rollforward of the Series A warrant liability balance is as follows:

 

March 31, 2018   $ 4,499,243  
Change in Fair Value     (8,874 )
June 30, 2018   $ 4,490,369  

 

The Company used a modified binomial lattice model to value the Series E warrants (post modification) at March 13, 2018 and June 30, 2018 with the following key assumptions:

SERIES G

 

The Company submitted for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of New York, on June 1, 2018, the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Series G Amendment to Certificate”), which established 500,000 shares of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, having such designations, rights and preferences as set forth in the Amendment to Certificate.

 

The shares of Series G Stock have a stated value of $100.00 per share, are convertible into Common Stock at a price of the greater of $0.50 per share or 100% of the lowest closing market price per share for the thirty days prior to conversion, subject to certain adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations. Shares of the Series G Stock are non-voting, but, in the event a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, entitle the holder of each share of Series G Stock to receive a cumulative dividend, in each case equal in amount and kind to that payable to the holder of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which that holder’s Series G Stock could be converted on the record date for the dividend without giving effect to the 9.9% conversion limitation stated above. The shares of Series G Stock rank senior to the common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company thereafter created.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Company’s Series G Amendment to Certificate to the contrary, if the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Series G Amendment to Certificate), then the Company may not issue, upon conversion of the Series G Stock a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued to one or more of the Holders on or after the date of the first issuance of Series G Stock and prior to such Conversion Date in connection with any conversion of Series G Stock, would exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date of the filing of Series G Amendment to Certificate.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 202,600 shares of Series G Preferred stock was issued in relation to the JVCo acquisition.

COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 6,910,673 shares of common stock and cancelled 400,000 shares related to the ALB acquisition. The fair values of the shares of common stock were based on the quoted trading price on the date of issuance. Of the 6,910,673 shares issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company:

 

1. Issued 600,000 of these shares previously accrued in 2017 as dividends to the Series E Preferred Stock holders,

 

2. Issued 2,035,930 of these shares due to the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock to common shares,
   
3.

Issued 340,500 of these shares due to the conversion of Series D Preferred Stock to common shares,

 

4 Issued 500,000 of these shares as a result of the American Science and Technology Corporation License Agreement and Lease,
   
5. Issued 17,500 of these shares due to the exercise of warrants,
   
6. Issued 62,162 of these shares to an employee as compensation,

 

7. Issued 10,000 of these shares to Environmental Trash Company in connection with the acquisition agreement,
   
8. Issued 250,000 of these shares to Garden State Securities in connection with a consulting agreement. 
   
9. Issued 94,581 of these shares to the directors of the Company.
   
10. Issued 3,000,000 shares in relation to the Flux Carbon LLC joint venture

 

WARRANTS

 

The 5,319,143 warrants issued in the first quarter of 2018, as part of the Series F preferred stock offering are exercisable for 5 years and have an exercise price equal to $0.95. The Company also issued the placement agent 200,000 warrants with the same terms.

 

On November 29, 2017, the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with five (5) accredited investors (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers purchased 1,868,933 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.025 per share at a price of $1.03 per share of Common Stock, 736,948 Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”), and 664,753 Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants for an aggregate of $1,925,000. The Series A Warrants are exercisable immediately, at the price of $1.31 per share, and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Series B Warrants are exercisable on the date six months from the date of issuance, at the price of $1.31 per share, expiring five years from the initial exercise date. Now, both the Series A and Series B warrants include a down round provision that resets the conversion price and exercise price of these instruments if a future equity offering occurs at a lower exercise, conversion or sales price.

 

Upon the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock, a down round of the exercise price was triggered for the Series A and Series B Warrants as the exercise price reset to $0.94. In accordance with ASC 260-10-35-1 and 30-1, the Company measured the effect of the round down as the difference between the fair value of the warrant immediately before the round down and then after and recorded such difference, $10,000 as a deemed dividend.

 

In addition, as a result of the Series F Preferred Stock issuance, the down round provision was expanded to include the reset of any existing instrument, including if the reset is triggered as a result of something other than a future equity offering such as remeasurement on certain triggering event days which would reset Series F Preferred Stock and thereby trigger the round down provision of the Series A and B warrants. Accordingly, effective with the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock on February 21, 2018, the Company cannot assert that the Series A and B Warrants are indexed to our own stock. Accordingly, the Series A and B Warrants are now classified as warrant liabilities and will be subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value being recorded as unrealized gain or loss on derivatives. A rollforward of the Series A and B warrant liability balance is as follows:

 

February 21, 2018 Pre Down Round (Equity)  $1,233,086 
Change in Fair Value (deemed dividend)   9,649 
February 21, 2018 Post Down Round (Liability)   1,242,735 
Change in Fair Value   (541,145)
March 31, 2018, ending balance   701,590 
Change in Fair Value   (244,785)

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. Also, ASC Topic 820 provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update.

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of input, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Input other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The following table sets forth the liabilities at June 30, 2018 which were recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

The roll forward of the Contingent liability – Verifi acquisition is as follows:

 

Balance December 31, 2017  $1,957,226 
Fair value adjustment   (27,290)
Write-off contingent liability   (1,929,936)
Balance June 30, 2018   -- 

   

During the second quarter of 2018, the nature of the business related to this acquisition changed. Specifically, the contracts, arrangements and initial activities of the business did not pan out as planned and accordingly, this portion of the business was abandoned. The personnel and sellers continue to be involved with the company working on other deals and projects. As a result of the abandonment of these specific business plans, management has concluded that there will be no payouts in the future as no targets will be met. Accordingly, the contingent liability is effectively zero. In determining the accounting for this write-down, the Company notes none of the facts discussed here are indicative of facts and circumstances that existed at acquisition or during Q1. Further, this is not considered a renegotiation or reneging of the original agreement. Thus, the write down of the contingent liability should be a period item (change in fair value of fair value liability)

 

The roll forward of the derivative liability – ALB shortfall provision is as follows:

 

Balance December 31, 2017   $ 2,307,363  
Fair value adjustment     151,143  
Extinguishment due to modification     (1,408,154 )
Balance June 30, 2018   $ 1,433,578  

 

On May 25, 2018, the agreement with a holder of 400,000 shares of common stock was modified. The result was the issuance of a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, with no true-up, and the cancellation of 400,000 shares of common stock. Thus, the liability is fair valued one last time at May 25, 2018 and then one half of such liability is extinguished through the issuance of additional shares.

 

From time to time, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically are the result of impairment determinations or the initial determination of fair value of assets received and liabilities assumed upon the consummation of a business combination (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Note 12, Variable Interest Entity). Outside of such business combination assets and liabilities, there were no assets or liabilities held for use where the carrying value of such assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

NOTE 10 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In order to increase access to cost-effective growth capital to help create shareholder value in our biomass innovation and healthcare businesses, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company committed to a plan to make available for immediate sale the waste management business. Management engaged in an active program to market the business which culminated with the reaching of a binding sales agreement in February 2018. Pursuant to the purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the Transaction, Buyer will pay Seller Parties $3.0 million in cash; satisfy $75.8 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; and assume the Acquired Entities’ obligations under certain equipment leases and other operating indebtedness. At the Closing, Attis will issue to Buyer a warrant to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.025, of Attis, equal to two percent of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Attis on a fully-diluted basis as of Closing (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) on such terms to be determined by Attis and Buyer.

 

 27 

 

 

As all the required criteria for held for sale classification were met at December 31, 2017, the waste management business is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Included in these results are the operations of a consolidated variable interest entity (see Note 12, Variable Interest Entity).

 

The assets held for sale represent that entirety of the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest waste management segments historically disclosed by the Company. These assets included a 20% interest of the Tri-City Recycling Center (“TCR”), which had been treated as a variable interest entity. The Company will have no continuing involvement with the discontinued operations after the disposal date.

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, on April 20, 2018 Buyer purchased from Seller all of the membership interests in each of the direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Seller (the “Acquired Parent Entities” and together with each direct and indirect subsidiary of the Acquired Parent Entities, the “Acquired Entities”), which constitute the Solid Waste Business (as defined below), and each such Acquired Parent Entity continues as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, upon the consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing”), Buyer paid Seller Parties $3.0 million in cash; satisfied $75.8 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below); and assumed the Acquired Entities’ obligations under certain equipment leases and other operating indebtedness and obligations. At the Closing, the Seller Parties retained approximately $8.7 million of outstanding indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement (as defined below), including accrued interest in an aggregate amount approximately equal to $1.6 million, and all other assets and obligations of Attis, the Technologies Business and the Innovations Business (each as defined below). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, Attis issued to Buyer a warrant (the “Company Warrant”) to purchase shares of Attis’ common stock, par value $0.025 equal to two percent of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Attis on a fully-diluted basis as of Closing (subject to adjustment as set forth therein and as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement and the Company Warrant) at a per share purchase price equal to $1.00 (the “Company Warrant Exercise Price”). The Company Warrant Exercise Price is subject to adjustment as more fully set forth in the Company Warrant.

 

On March 30, 2018, Seller Parties and Buyer entered into Amendment #1 to the Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to (i) provide an exception to the indemnification obligations of Seller Parties with respect to Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) arising out of or relating to an acquisition of certain solid waste assets by an Acquired Entity following the execution date of the Purchase Agreement and the assets and liabilities assumed by such Acquired Entity in connection with the acquisition and (ii) to amend the description of the Company Warrant to provide that the Company Warrant Exercise Price shall be equal to the lower of (a) $1.25 or (b) the average of the daily high and low sale prices per share over the 30 days ending one day prior to the Closing, provided that such price shall not be less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock.

 

In addition, on April 20, 2018, prior to the Closing, Parties and Buyer entered into Amendment #2 to the Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) to, among other things, (i) require the Seller Parties to take certain actions related to the Company’s 401(k) plans and (ii) require the Company to maintain the employment agreement of a specific employee and indemnify Buyer for certain breaches of such employee’s employment agreement.

NOTE 11 – LITIGATION

 

The Company is involved in various lawsuits related to the operations of its subsidiaries which arise in the normal course of business. Management believes that it has adequate insurance coverage and/or has appropriately accrued for the settlement of these claims. If applicable, claims that exceed amounts accrued and/or that are covered by insurance, management believes they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend and resolve and does not expect any material impact on financial condition.

 

On June 15, 2018, the plaintiff in a lawsuit styled Rampey Enterprises, Inc. v. LGMG, LLC, District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, Case No. CJ-2017-1908, filed a motion to have the Company substituted as the defendant on the grounds the Company had “merged” with LGMG, LLC, and therefore should be held liable for all of such plaintiff’s claims against LGMG, LLC (“LGMG”). No such merger has ever occurred. The Company is the sole shareholder of MSTI, which in turn is the sole member of WelNess, which in turn is the majority member of LGMG. LGMG has filed, and the Company is in the process of filing, an objection to said motion. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. Management is unable to characterize or evaluate the probability of any outcome at this time.

AMERICAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

 

On November 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement with American Science and Technology Corporation (“AST”). Consistent with the terms of this agreement, effective January 1, 2018, the Company gained the exclusive commercial license to certain licensed patents of AST for a term of 24 months. In addition, the Company entered into a commercial lease with AST for certain property and equipment which comprised the entirety of the operational assets of AST for a term of 24 months.

 

Pursuant to these agreements, the Company paid $500,000 and issued 500,000 shares of the Company stock. Additionally, effective January 1, 2019, the Company will pay to AST monthly license and lease payments of $125,000 for twelve months.

 

In addition, the Company and AST also entered into an Option Agreement (the “Option”), granting the Company the option to purchase outright the assets (patents and property and equipment) of AST for $2,500,000, and certain future royalty payments consisting of two tenths of a percent (0.2%) of all the Company’s Biomass Feedstock Costs incurred in operating the Property as a biorefinery which has incorporated the technology contained in the Biorefinery Patents in its design, construction or operations. Also, the Company will pay $250,000 for any third party owned biorefinery constructed, with the Company’s written consent, employing the technology contained in the Biorefinery Patents. The option is exercisable from date of execution through December 31, 2019.

 

As noted above, the license and lease agreements cover the entirety of the assets of AST and effectively result in the Company having control of the AST business. Management evaluated this arrangement and determined that AST was a variable interest entity to which the Company had a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary of AST as the result of these agreements. Accordingly, management determined that AST should be consolidated by the Company in these condensed financial statements since January 1, 2018.

 

The Company acquired AST to further its footprint in the bio-renewable space. AST business is focused on the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into high-value chemicals and products. The acquisition of this variable interest entity was accounted for by the Company using the acquisition method under business combination accounting. Under this method, the purchase price paid by the acquirer is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the fair value. Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Certain amounts below are provisional based on our best estimates using information available as of the reporting date. The Company is waiting for information to become available to finalize its valuation of certain elements of this transaction. Specifically, the assigned values for property, plant and equipment, patents, lease payments payable, non-controlling interest and goodwill are provisional in nature and subject to change upon the completion of the final valuation of such elements.

 

Although structured as leases, the purchase price consideration was deemed to be the upfront cash and common stock payments, along with the monthly payments required to be made in 2019. The option to purchase is considered a call option over the non-controlling interest in AST which was evaluated to discern whether it required any accounting under ASC 480 or ASC 815. As a result of this evaluation, the option agreement was considered to be an equity item embedded within the noncontrolling interest.

 

The calculation of purchase price, including measurement period adjustments, is as follows:

 

Cash consideration  $500,000 
Stock consideration   540,000 
Lease payments consideration (provisional)   1,358,942 
Total  $2,398,942 

 

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The standard allows for provisional amounts to be recorded related to a business combination in the event the accounting is yet to be compete at the end of a reporting period. Entities have up to one year from the effective date of a business combination, referred to a s a measurement period, to adjust any provisional amounts recorded. The Company is finalizing the estimate of fair value amounts in connection with this acquisition. The completion of the fair value assessment of assets acquired is anticipated to be finalized before the measurement period. The measurement period for this acquisition ends on November 9, 2018. The Company will disclose any changes to the accounting of the acquisition, if any, in future reporting periods.

 

As noted in the table above, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock as consideration, which was valued based on the trading price of the stock on the effective date of the transaction ($1.08 per share). The lease payment consideration is provisionally valued based off the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a market participant expected cost of debt.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

 

Property, plant and equipment (provisional)  $2,749,020 
Patents (provisional)   1,832,680 
Non-controlling interest   (2,182,758)
Goodwill   - 
Total  $2,398,942 

  

The following unaudited pro forma information below presents the consolidated results operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as if the acquisition took place on January 1, 2017:

NOTE 13 – SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

Historically, the Company had one operating segment. However, with the acquisition of the Mid-Atlantic segment in the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s operations were managed through two operating segments: Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. Both these segments are now included in discontinued operations. The Company has shifted its focus and now operates 2 new lines of business currently: technologies (the “Technologies Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobile Science Technologies, Inc.; and innovations (the “Innovations Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Attis Innovations, LLC. The Company’s Technologies Business centers on creating community-based synergies through healthcare collaborations and software solutions and the Innovation Business strives to create value from recovered resources, through advanced byproduct technologies and assets found in downstream production.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK

 

Effective August 6, 2018, the Company announced the restructuring of its Series F Preferred Stock financing completed in February 2018. As part of the restructuring, the Company executed the closing agreements on a new financing arrangement with a single existing institutional shareholder, which now allows for future long-term financing, increasing the conversion valuation, and reducing potential dilution. As a result of such recent agreements, four of the prior Series F Preferred holders were bought out and the conversion rate changed from a variable price to the greater of $0.50 per share or 100% of the lowest closing market price for the 30 days preceding conversion. Additionally, the new holders of the Series F Preferred Stock have agreed to leak-out restrictions limiting the amount of common stock that can be sold upon conversion of the preferred stock. On August 6, 2018 the Company submitted for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of New York that certain Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Series F Amended Certificate”) to amend the designations for the Series F Preferred Stock to state that the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be the greater of (a) $0.50 or (b) 100% of the lowest closing market price during the 30-calendar day period preceding the date of delivery of the conversion notice by the Series F Preferred Stock shareholder, subject to adjustment

 

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New York that certain Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to affect an increase in the aggregated authorized shares the Company may issue to 155,000,000 shares, increasing the number of shares of common stock the Company has the authority to issue, with a par value of $0.025 per share, to 150,000,000 shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those condensed consolidated financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the six months ended June 30, 2018, included elsewhere in this report.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION

 

In order to increase access to cost-effective growth capital to help create shareholder value in our biomass innovation and healthcare businesses, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company committed to a plan to make available for immediate sale the waste management business. Management engaged in an active program to market the business which culminated with the reaching of a binding sales agreement in February 2018. Under the terms of sale, $3 million was paid to the Company upon formal closing, which occurred on April 20, 2018.

   

Historically, the Company was a regional, vertically integrated solid waste services company that provided collection, transfer, disposal and landfill services. This set of businesses was held for sale beginning on December 6, 2017. The results of such operations are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented (see Note 10, Discontinued Operations, of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information). The Company will have no continuing involvement with the discontinued operations after the disposal date.

 

The Company is now an innovative technology company which focuses on biomass innovation and healthcare technologies. The Company generally operates two lines of business currently: technologies (the “Technologies Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobile Science Technologies, Inc.; and innovations (the “Innovations Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Attis Innovations, LLC. The Company’s Technologies Business centers on creating community-based synergies through healthcare collaborations and software solutions and the Innovation Business strives to create value from recovered resources, through advanced byproduct technologies and assets found in downstream production.

 

The Company’s operations held for use operate under the following limited liability companies:

 

(1) Mobile Science Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein as “Attis Healthcare”); and

(2) Attis Innovations, LLC.

  

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS

 

Attis Industries Inc. generally operates two lines of business currently: technologies (the “Technologies Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobile Science Technologies, Inc.; and innovations (the “Innovations Business”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Attis Innovations, LLC. The Company’s Technologies Business centers on creating community-based synergies through healthcare collaborations and software solutions and the Innovation Business strives to create value from recovered resources, through advanced byproduct technologies and assets found in downstream production. The Company’s Innovation Business focuses on producing sustainable materials and fuels from renewable sources at costs equal to or less than those otherwise produced from fossil fuels. By processing targeted feedstocks, we believe Innovations will be able to produce materials used in the following markets: bioplastics, consumer goods, adhesives, carbon fiber, renewable fuels, and green chemicals, among others.

WelNess Benefits, LLC/Integrity Lab Solutions, LLC

 

On November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of WelNess Benefits, LLC (“WelNess”), an Oklahoma limited liability company, and Integrity Lab Solutions, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, that together own and operate laboratory marketing, management, and testing businesses. WelNess owns 71.64% membership interest in LGMG, LLC d/b/a Verifi Resource Group. The Company seeks to utilize these businesses and their technologies to expand into the healthcare technology arena.

 

The calculation of purchase price, including measurement period adjustments, is as follows:

 

Stock consideration  $1,000,000 
Warrant consideration   896,645 
Contingent consideration   2,220,683 
Total  $4,117,328 

  

As noted in the table above, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock as consideration, which was valued based on the trading price of the stock on the date of close ($1.00 per share). The warrant consideration was measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model with the following significant assumptions: (1) stock price - $1.00; (2) exercise price - $1.00; (3) term – 5 years; (4) risk free interest rate – 2.01%; and (5) stock volatility of 143%. The contingent consideration was valued using a monte carlo simulation with simulations of expected future revenue amounts, growth rates and related expenses. The model also simulated future stock prices based off the following key assumptions: (1) starting price $1.00; (2) term – 1–5 years; (3) risk free interest rate – 2.01%; and (4) volatility of 143.46%.

 

The contingent consideration is measured both initially and subsequently at fair value until settlement. The key assumptions for the subsequent December 31, 2017 valuation of $1.9 million were: (1) starting price $1.06; (2) term – 1-5 years; (3) risk free interest rate – 2.20%; and (4) volatility of 157.53%. The change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as unrealized gain from change in fair value of contingent consideration.

 

DxT Medical, LLC

 

On October 16, 2017, (the “Closing Date”), Mobile Science Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among, an individual residing in the State of South Carolina, and Corral Court Capital LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as sellers (together, the “Seller”), the Company, as parent, and Mobile Science Technologies, Inc., as buyer (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer will acquire from Seller all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interests”) of DxT Medical, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company that owns and operates a healthcare distribution business. As consideration for the Membership Interests, the Company issued to the Seller an aggregate of 350,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.025 per share, allocated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Payment”). The shares were valued at market at the date of the closing, fair value of $318,500.

 

The acquisition was accounted for by the Company using the acquisition method under business combination accounting. Under this method, the purchase price paid by the acquirer is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the fair value. Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, current liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017:

 

   June 30,
2018
   December 31,
2017
   Increase/
Decrease
 
Current Assets  $867,278   $10,316,804   $(9,449,526)
Current Liabilities  $20,123,523   $13,440,453   $6,683,070 
Working capital (Deficit)  $(19,256,244)  $(3,123,649)  $(16,132,595)

 

The change in working capital (deficit) is due primarily to the following changes to current assets and current liabilities. The decrease in current assets held for sale of approximately $8,714,000, a decrease in cash of approximately $121,000. Accounts Receivable, net, decreased by approximately $466,000. Current liabilities held for sale decreased by approximately $84,000,000 accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by approximately $3,200,000 and current portion of long-term debt decreased by approximately $1,400,000, and derivative liabilities increased by approximately $4,800,000.

 

As all the required criteria for held for sale classification was met at December 31, 2017, the waste management business is classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented (see Note 10, Discontinued Operations). Accounts receivable decreased due to increased allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2018. The increase in current portion of long-term debt is also the result of the acquisition of WelNess, as part of the liabilities assumed is debt due within 1 year, and also the reclassification of Goldman Sachs & Co. debt to current (see Note 6, Notes Payable and Convertible Notes). In January of 2017 all deferred compensation was paid off.

 

At June 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $19,256,244 as compared to a working capital deficit of $3,123,649 at December 31, 2017, an increase of $16,132,595.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

 

   6/30/2018   6/30/2017 
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities  $(8,625,592)  $(7,713,510)
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities  $2,868,981  $(356,900)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities  $5,635,379   $8,956,535 

   

We had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $278,993 as of June 30, 2018. We have historically funded our working capital needs through operations and raising capital through the sale of our securities. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the state and level of our operations, and the timing of capital needed for projects.

 

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $(8,625,592) for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $(7,713,510) for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

   

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $2,868,981 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $(356,900) for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease is primarily due to the disposal of the waste companies.

 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,635,379 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net cash of $8,956,535 provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  This decrease was primarily due to a $10 million common stock sale in 2017.

Going Concern, Liquidity and Management’s Plan

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring operating losses in recent years. Because of these losses, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $20,000,000 at June 30, 2018. The conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the working capital deficit can be satisfied with additional capital raises, cash on hand at June 30, 2018, the sale of the waste services division, and the growth of our innovations and technology division.

 

On February 20, 2018, Attis Industries Inc. signed an agreement with Warren Equity Partners (“WEP”), with final closing on April 20, 2018, to sell the waste operations of the Company to WEP. As part of this sale the Company was able to eliminate a majority of its debt, as well as the approximately $11,000,000 in annual debt service payments. The Company also received $3,000,000 in cash as part of the sale. We also have a revised credit agreement from our primary lender with more favorable terms this will help to execute our growth strategy without the encumbrances of the substantial debt and recurring losses of the waste operations.

 

Post-close the Company has focused on growing its Innovations and Technology divisions. In anticipation of the sale of the Company’s waste division the Company purchased Verifi Labs in November of 2017. Additionally, we are in the process of setting up a federal lab and also a commercial lab, both of which we expect to be operational in September of 2018.

 

As of June 30, 2018 the Company had approximately $280,000 in cash, in its continued operations, to cover its short-term cash requirements. The Company is still evaluating raising additional capital through the public markets as well as looking for capital partners to assist with operating activities and growth strategies.

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.

 

Our primary uses of cash have been for working capital purposes to support our operations and our efforts to become a reporting company with the SEC. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing our business operations, establishing our brand and making sure our work is completed with efficiency and of the highest quality. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

  An increase in working capital requirements to finance additional marketing efforts,
     
  Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing customers and to attract new customers as the company expands, and
     
  The cost of being a public company.
     
  Due to the new Goldman Sachs credit agreement and the note payable entered in to in February of 2018, the Company has debt service payments of $350,000 due each fiscal quarter, beginning in September of 2018 and approximately $64,000 due per week, respectively.

 

The Company has significant growth plans in the near future in its Technology business and Innovations business that will result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in a material way. We are not aware of any other matters that would have an impact on future operations.

 

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures, other than for our growth plans.

 

In order to fund future expansion through acquisitions and capital expenditures, the Company may be required to raise capital through the sale of its securities on the public market.

  

Inflation and Seasonality

 

We do not expect our revenue to fluctuate quarterly.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

  (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As described in Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over the accounting including: (1) lack of a segregation of duties; and (2) lack of review and disclosure controls.

 

Although we have made progress in the remediation of these issues, as indicated below, sufficient time needs to pass before we can conclude that newly implemented controls are operating effectively and that the material weaknesses have been adequately remediated. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.

 

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We continue to plan to remediate those material weaknesses as follows:

  

  Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions, and to simultaneously achieve desired organizational structuring for improved segregation of duties.

 

  Continue to improve expert review and achieve desired segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

  

We expect to make additional improvements and enhancements during the remainder of 2018. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the enhanced procedures will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and generally strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Our goal is to remediate this material weakness by the end of fiscal 2018, subject to there being sufficient opportunities to conclude, through testing, that the enhanced control is operating effectively.

 

  (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Management has reported to the Audit Committee the content of the material weaknesses identified in our assessment. Addressing these weaknesses is a priority of management and we are in the process of remediating the cited material weaknesses. For example, The Company is actively evaluating its internal control structure to identify the need for additional resources to ensure appropriate segregation of duties.

 

Except as disclosed in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, except as set forth below. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect, other than as set forth below.

 

On June 15, 2018, the plaintiff in a lawsuit styled Rampey Enterprises, Inc. v. LGMG, LLC, District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, Case No. CJ-2017-1908, filed a motion to have the Company substituted as the defendant on the grounds the Company had “merged” with LGMG, LLC, and therefore should be held liable for all of such plaintiff’s claims against LGMG, LLC (“LGMG”). No such merger has ever occurred. The Company is the sole shareholder of MSTI, which in turn is the sole member of WelNess, which in turn is the majority member of LGMG. LGMG has filed, and the Company is in the process of filing, an objection to said motion. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. Management is unable to characterize or evaluate the probability of any outcome at this time.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2018, as supplemented by the additional risk factor previously disclosed in our registration statement on Form S-3/A filed with the SEC on August 10, 2018.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities that were not otherwise disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

There has been no default in the payment of principal, interest, sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default, with respect to any indebtedness of the Company.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information.

 

There is no other information required to be disclosed under this item which was not previously disclosed.
