FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” and “would.” These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based in part on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(Unaudited)

    

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Iconic Brands, Inc., formerly Paw Spa, Inc. (“Iconic Brands or Iconic), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 21, 2005. Effective December 31, 2016, Iconic closed on a May 15, 2015 agreement to acquire a 51% interest in BiVi LLC (“BiVi”), the brand owner of “BiVi 100 percent Sicilian Vodka,” and closed on a December 13, 2016 agreement to acquire a 51% interest in Bellissima Spirits LLC (“Bellissima”), the brand owner of Bellissima sparkling wines. These transactions involved entities under common control of the Company’s chief executive officer and represented a change in reporting entity. The financial statements of the Company have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the operations of BiVi and Bellissima from their inception.

 

BiVi was organized in Nevada on May 4, 2015. Bellissima was organized in Nevada on November 23, 2015.

 

Effective May 9, 2019, Iconic closed on a May 9, 2019 Share Exchange Agreement to acquire a 51% interest in Green Grow Farms, Inc. (“Green Grow”), an entity organized on February 28, 2019 to grow hemp for CBD extraction. Effective December 31, 2019, Iconic sold its 51% interest in Green Grow Farms, Inc. to Can B Corp (see Note 3).

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

Effective January 18, 2019, the Company effectuated a 1 share for 250 shares reverse stock split which reduced the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 2018 from 1,359,941,153 shares to 5,439,765 shares. The accompanying financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a) Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Iconic, its two 51% owned subsidiaries BiVi and Bellissima, and United Spirits, Inc., a variable interest entity of Iconic (see Note 6) (collectively, the “Company”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(b) Interim Financial Statements

 

The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained herein. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 as included in our report on Form 10-K.

(c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

   

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans payable to officer and affiliated entity, and note payable, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.

 

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with original maturities of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents.

 

(f) Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates risk by performing credit checks and by actively pursuing past due accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on customer historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $26,513 and $26,513, respectively.

 

(g) Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market, with due consideration given to obsolescence and to slow moving items. Inventory at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consists of cases of BiVi Vodka and cases of Bellissima sparkling wines purchased from our Italian suppliers, and cases of alcoholic beverages and packaging materials relating to our Hooters line of products introduced in August 2019.

(h) Marketable Equity Securities

 

Marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in income. The Company has classified its investment in Can B Corp (see Note 3) as trading securities.

 

(i) Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) which establishes revenue recognition standards. ASU 2014-19 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 has not had a significant effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Revenue from product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement and fixed price criteria are satisfied through purchase orders. Collectability criteria are satisfied through credit approvals. Delivery criteria are satisfied when the products are shipped to a customer and title and risk of loss passes to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale. The Company has no obligation to accept the return of products sold other than for replacement of damaged products. Other than quantity price discounts negotiated with customers prior to billing and delivery (which are reflected as a reduction in sales), the Company does not offer any sales incentives or other rebate arrangements to customers.

 

(j) Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs to deliver product to customers are reported as operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs to purchase inventory are capitalized and expensed to cost of sales when revenue is recognized on the sale of product to customers.

 

(k) Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, stock-based compensation was $274,751, $517,832, $485,000, and $775,700, respectively.

 

(l) Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the respective taxing authorities. Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

(m) Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and to be issued to Escrow Agent (see Note 11) during the periods presented.

 

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and to be issued to Escrow Agent (see Note 11) and dilutive securities (such as stock options, warrants, and convertible securities) outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.

 

(n) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-2 (Topic 842) which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize right of use assets and liabilities for most leases having terms of 12 months or more. We adopted this new accounting guidance using the effective date transition method, which permits entities to apply the new lease standards using a modified retrospective transition approach at the date of adoption. As such, historical periods will continue to be measured and presented under the previous guidance while current and future periods are subject to this new accounting guidance. Upon adoption we recorded a total of $223,503 for right-of-use assets related to our two operating leases (see Note 13g) and a total of $223,503 for lease liabilities.

 

On July 13, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11. Among other things, ASU 2017-11 provides guidance that eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s stock and need to be classified as liabilities. ASU 2017-11 provides for entities to recognize the effect of a down round feature only when it is triggered and then as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common stockholders in basic earnings per share. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2019, the Company reflected a $2,261,039 reduction of the derivative liability on warrants (see Note 10) and a $2,261,039 cumulative effect adjustment reduction of accumulated deficit.

 

Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.

 

(o) Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2020 of $24,315,376 and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and attaining profitable operations. The management of the Company has developed a strategy which it believes will accomplish these objectives and which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year. However, there is no assurance that these objectives will be met. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Effective December 31, 2019, the Company sold its 51% equity interest in Green Grow Farms, Inc. (“Green Grow”) to Can B Corp. in exchange for 37,500,000 shares of Can B Corp. common stock and a Can B Corp. obligation to issue additional shares (“Additional Purchases Shares”) of Can B Corp. common stock to the Company on June 30, 2020 in such number so that the aggregate value of the aggregate shares issued to the Company equals $1,000,000. We acquired this equity interest on May 9, 2019 in exchange for a $200,000 note payable to NY Farms Group Inc. and 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock valued at $1,250,000.

 

Effective March 6, 2020, Can B Corp. (“CANB”) effected a 1 share for 300 shares reverse stock split resulting in a reduction of the number of our shares of CANB common stock from 37,500,000 shares to 125,000 shares. On July 8, 2020, CANB delivered 418,714 additional shares of CANB common stock required under the December 31, 2019 agreement. The fair value of the 543,714 shares of CANB common stock at June 30, 2020 was $1,073,835 and we recognized an unrealized gain of $73,835 in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.

 

On July 24, 2020 (see note 14), we executed an Exchange Agreement with CANB and delivered the 543,714 shares of CANB common stock to CANB in exchange for CANB’s delivery of 1,000,000 shares of ICNB common stock to the Company.

 

4. INVESTMENT IN BIVI LLC

 

On May 15, 2015, Iconic entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement by and among the members of BiVi LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (BiVi), under which Iconic acquired a 51% majority interest in BiVi in exchange for the issuance of (a) 4,000 shares of restricted common stock and (b) 1,000 shares of newly created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Prior to May 15, 2015, BiVi was beneficially owned and controlled by Richard DeCicco, the controlling shareholder and chief executive officer of Iconic Brands, Inc.

 

5. INVESTMENT IN BELLISSIMA SPIRITS LLC

 

On December 13, 2016, Iconic entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Bellissima Spirits LLC (“Bellissima”) and Bellissima’s members under which Iconic acquired a 51% majority interest in Bellissima in exchange for the issuance of a total of 10 shares of newly designated Iconic Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Iconic Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into the equivalent of 5.1% of Iconic common stock issued and outstanding at the time of conversion.

 

Prior to December 13, 2016, Bellissima was controlled by Richard DeCicco, the controlling shareholder and chief executive officer of Iconic.

10. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY ON WARRANTS

 

From September 2017 to November 2017, in connection with the sale of a total of 480,000 shares of common stock, the Company issued a total of 480,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to the respective investors. The Warrants were exercisable into ICNB common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, were to expire five years from date of issuance, and contained “down round” price protection.

 

Effective May 21, 2018, in connection with the sale of a total of 120,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company issued a total of 480,000 Warrants to four investors. These warrants were exercisable into ICNB common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, were to expire five years from date of issuance, and contained “down round” price protection.

(Unaudited)

     

The down round provision of the above Warrants required a reduction in the exercise price if there were future issuances of common stock equivalents at a lower price than the $2.50 exercise price of the Warrants. Accordingly, we recorded the $2,261,039 fair value of the Warrants at December 31, 2018 as a derivative liability.

 

Effective January 1, 2019 (see Note 2), the Company adopted ASU 2017-11 and reduced the $2,261,039 derivative liability on warrants at December 31, 2018 to $0 and recognized a $2,261,039 cumulative effect adjustment reduction of accumulated deficit.

 

11. CAPITAL STOCK

 

Preferred Stock

 

The one share of Series A Preferred Stock, which was issued to Richard DeCicco on September 10, 2009, entitles the holder to two votes for every share of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding and has no conversion or dividend rights.

 

The 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which were issued to Richard DeCicco on May 15, 2015 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement (see Note 4) for the Company’s 51% investment in BiVi, entitled the holder in the event of a Sale (as defined) to receive out of the proceeds of such Sale (in whatever form, be it cash, securities, or other assets), a distribution from the Company equal to 76.93% of all such proceeds received by the Company prior to any distribution of such proceeds to all other classes of equity securities, including any series of preferred stock designated subsequent to this Series C Preferred Stock. Effective March 27, 2019, pursuant to a Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement, Mr. DeCicco exchanged the 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock.

12. INCOME TAXES

 

No income taxes were recorded in the periods presented since the Company had taxable losses in these periods.

 

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The sources of the difference are as follows:

Based on managements present assessment, the Company has not yet determined that a deferred tax asset attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.

 

Current United States income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

 

All tax years remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions.

j. Coronavirus

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in China. The spread of this virus began to cause some business disruption in our United States operations in March 2020. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration. Therefore, the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its operating results. However, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company may prepay, in whole or in part, the principal sum and interest under the Notes without the prior written consent of holders.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; health epidemics such as COVID-19; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Going Concern

 

As a result of our current financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, we must effectively balance many factors and generate more revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this, we may not be able to continue as an operating company. Until we can grow revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, we must continue to raise capital by issuing debt or through the sale of our stock. There is no assurance that our cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our operating expenses and capital requirements.

Sales

 

Our sales are comprised of sales of BiVi Sicilian Vodka, Bellissima Prosecco and Sparkling Wine, and the line of Hooters brand products introduced in August 2019. Sales were $1,055,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $145,294 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $910,306 or approximately 626%. The increase in sales was primarily due to continued expansion of the QVC Network sales of our Bellissima products, which accounted for $862,000 of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Cost of sales includes the cost of the products purchased from our suppliers, freight-in costs and import duties. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is due primarily to product mix and slightly lower production costs. There is a higher fulfillment cost associated with the sale of products on the QVC network which is detailed in the discussion below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Introduction

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2020 was $672,372, which was derived from the sale of Series G preferred stock and warrants. Our monthly cash flow burn rate for 2019 was approximately $228,000, and our monthly burn rate through the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $147,000. We have strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

Our cash increased $433,734 and total current assets increased $515,713. Our total current liabilities increased $63,162 as our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased, reflecting our increase in professional and consulting fees. Our total liabilities increased $36,924. Our stockholders’ equity increased from $490,198 to $996,766 due primarily to proceeds from the sale of preferred stock.

 

In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2020 was $672,372. Based on our minimal sales and annualized monthly burn rate of approximately $147,000 per month, we will need to raise additional funding through strategic relationships, public or private equity or debt financings. If such funding is not available, or not available on terms acceptable to us, our current development plans may be curtailed.

 

We have funded our operations from proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities. We will require significant additional capital to make the investments we need to execute our longer-term business plan. Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of debt or equity securities when needed is subject to many risks and uncertainties and, even if we are successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to its existing stockholders and any future debt securities may contain covenants that limit our operations or ability to enter into certain transactions.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Operations

 

We had net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of ($879,271), compared to ($705,021) for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of our net loss of ($1,361,774), offset by net income attributable to our subsidiaries of $400,093 and stock based compensation of $775,700.

January 2020 Financing

 

On January 12, 2020, we entered into securities purchase agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate of 1,500 shares of our series G convertible preferred stock (the “Series G Convertible Preferred Stock”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,500,000, before deducting placement agent and other offering expenses. The terms of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth under Items 3.02 and 5.03 below.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Investors may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

The conversion price of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by us, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

   

The Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrant each contain a beneficial ownership limitation that restricts each of the Investor’s ability to exercise the Warrants and convert the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock such that the number of shares of our common stock held by each of them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% or 9.99% (at the election of the Investor) of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The Purchase Agreement also provides that until the 18 month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, in the event of a subsequent financing (except for certain exempt issuances as provided in the Purchase Agreement) by us, each Investor that invested over $500,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will have the right to participate in such subsequent financing up to an amount equal to the Investor’s proportionate share of the subsequent financing based on such Investor’s participation in this private placement on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the subsequent financing up to an amount equal to 50% of the subsequent financing. The Purchase Agreements also provide that for as long as the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock or Warrants are outstanding, if we effect a subsequent financing, an Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all or a portion of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock then held by such Investor for any securities issued in a subsequent financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis, provided such subsequent financing is not a firm commitment underwritten offering.

 

From the date of the Purchase Agreement until the date that is the earlier of (i) nine (9) months following the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the date that the VWAP for 10 consecutive Trading Days following January 12, 2020 is greater than $1.25, subject to adjustment, we shall not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

We also entered into separate Registration Rights Agreements with the Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to undertake to file a registration statement to register the resale of the shares underlying the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants within ten (10) days following the date of written demand by the lead investor (the “Demand Date”) , and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all of such shares of Common Stock have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without any restrictions. If we fail to file the registration statement or have it declared effective by the dates set forth above, among other things, we are obligated to pay the investors liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of their subscription amount, per month, until such events are satisfied.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

 

As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in our Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Our principal executive and financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive and financial officer is determined to make our disclosure controls and procedures effective; however, in designing an evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
