Note 1 Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), was originally organized in May 2004 as a limited liability company under the name of Safety Quick Light, LLC“”. The Company was converted to corporation on November 6, 2012. The Company holds a number of worldwide patents, and has received a variety of final electrical code approvals, including ULListing and CSA approval (for the United States and Canadian Markets), and CE (for the European market). The Company maintains an office in Foshan, Peoples Republic of China with five staff consisting of four engineers and/or quality control inspectors/engineers.

 

The Company is engaged in the business of developing proprietary technology that enables a quick and safe installation of electrical fixtures, such as light fixtures and ceiling fans, by the use of a power plug installed in ceiling and wall electrical junction boxes. The Company’s main technology consists of a weight bearing, fixable socket and a revolving plug for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket is comprised of a nonconductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior.

 

The plug is also comprised of a non-conductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and is capable of feeding electric power to an appliance. The plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve and a releasable latching which, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the plug can be installed in light fixtures, ceiling fans and wall sconce fixtures.

 

The Company markets consumer friendly, energy saving “plug-in” ceiling fans and light fixtures under the General Electric

(“GE”) brand as well as “conventional” ceiling lights and fans carrying the GE brand. The Company also owns 98.8% of SQL Lighting & Fans LLC (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary was formed in Florida on April 27, 2011, and is in the business of manufacturing the patented device that the Company owns. The Subsidiary had no activity during the periods presented.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

Table of Contents   5  
 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. 

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in its sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the uncertainty associated with the commercialization and ultimate success of the product, (ii) competition inherent at large national retail chains where product is expected to be sold (iii) general economic conditions and (iv) the related volatility of prices pertaining to the cost of sales.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp and the Subsidiary, SQL Lighting & Fans LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

In May 2012, in connection with the sale of the Company’s membership units in the Subsidiary, the Company’s ownership percentage in the Subsidiary decreased from 98.8% to 94.35%. The Company then reacquired these membership units in June 2013, increasing the ownership percentage from 94.35% back to 98.8%. During 2014, there was no activity in the Subsidiary. Its pro rata share of the Company’s 2014 and 2015 loss from operations is recognized in the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had $12,502 and $450,868 in money market as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future bad debts, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

 

The Company’s net balance of accounts receivable for three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015:

 

   

March 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

 

December 31, 2015

(Audited)

                 
 Accounts Receivable   $ 994,822     $ 234,309  
 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts     —         —    
 Net Accounts Receivable   $ 994,822     $ 234,309  

All amounts are deemed collectible at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and accordingly, the Company has not incurred any bad debt expense at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

Table of Contents   6  
 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.

 

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $199,486 and $263,871 in inventory, respectively. The Company will maintain an allowance based on specific inventory items that have shown no activity over a 24month period. The Company tracks inventory as it is disposed, scrapped or sold at below cost to determine whether additional items on hand should be reduced in value through an allowance method. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has determined that no allowance is required.

 

Valuation of Long-lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. The Company determined no impairment adjustment was necessary for the periods presented.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Asset - Patent

 

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15 year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the Patent Office.

 

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

GE Trademark Licensing Agreement

 

The Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement with General Electric on June, 2011 (the “License Agreement”) allowing the Company to utilize the “GE trademark” on products which meet the stringent manufacturing and quality requirements of General Electric (the “GE Trademark License”). As described further in Note 5 to these financial statements, the Company and General Electric amended the License Agreement in August 2014. As a result of that amendment, the Company is required to pay a minimum trademark licensing fee (the “Royalty Obligation”) to General Electric of $12,000,000. The repayment schedule is based on a percent of sales, with any unpaid balance due in November 2018. Under SFAS 142 “Accounting for Certain Intangible Assets” the Company has recorded the value of the Licensing Agreement and will amortize it over the life of the License Agreement, which is 60 months. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3. See Note 8.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

Table of Contents   8  
 

For option based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Extinguishments of Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with ASC 860-10 (formerly SFAS 140) “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. When the conditions are met for extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

 

Stock Based Compensation – Employees

 

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Table of Contents   9  
 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f) (2)(ii) a thinly traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index thati t has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Generally, all forms of share based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

Table of Contents   10  
 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum, or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f) (2)(ii) a thinly traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatilityc alculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra equity by the grantor of the equity instruments.

 

Table of Contents   11  
 

The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenues from the sale of GE branded fans and lighting fixtures to large retailers through retail and online sales.

 

Revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) asset is transferred to the customer without further obligation, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and third party manufacturing of the Company’s products.

 

Product sold is typically shipped directly to the customer from the third party manufacturer; costs associated with shipping and handling is shown as a component of cost of sales.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option and warrant contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for the period. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented.

 

The Company has the following common stock equivalents at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) Affiliates of the Company; (b) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) Trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) Principal owners of the Company; (e) Management of the Company; (f) Other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a). the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b). a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c). the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d). amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, and consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued.

 

Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will reclassify debt issuance costs from prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets as a reduction to debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 2015-03 and does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2015-03will materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201511, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which applies guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. ASU 2015-11 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last-in, firstout or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 2015-11 and is currently evaluating ASU 2015-11 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 closings of the Notes Offering (defined below), the Company issued 5,390,100 detachable warrants. The notes and warrants were treated as derivative liabilities.

 

On November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014 the Company completed closings in connection with its offering (the “Notes Offering”) of its 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “12% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,240,100 and/or its 15% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (the “15% Notes”, and together with the 12% Notes, each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), as applicable, with certain “accredited investors” (the “Investors”), as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes of $4,270,100 was outstanding as of December 31, 2015, such amount being exclusive of securities converted into the Notes separate from the Notes Offering. Pursuant to the Notes Offering, the Company received $1,752,803, $1,400,000 and $800,500 in net proceeds on November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, respectively.

 

In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Notes began accruing interest on the date that each Investor submitted the principal balance of such Investor’s Note, with the interest thereon becoming due and payable on the one year anniversary, and quarterly thereafter. Upon a default of the Notes, the interest rate will increase by 2% for each 30 day period until cured. The principal balance of each Note and all unpaid interest became or will become due and payable twenty-four (24) months after the date of issuance. The Notes may be prepaid with or without a penalty depending on the date of the prepayment. The principal and interest under the Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share and are secured by a first priority lien (subject only to an existing note with Signature Bank of Georgia on the Company’s intellectual property and all substitutes, replacements and proceeds of such intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of a Security Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, as applicable, by and between the Company and each Investor.

 

Table of Contents   16  
 

Pursuant to the Notes Offering, each Investor also received five (5) year common stock warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.375 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). Investors of the 12% Notes received Warrants with 25% coverage based on a pre-determined valuation of the Company. Investors of the 15% Notes received Warrants with 15% coverage based on the pre-determined valuation of the Company. Investors with a principal investment amount equal to or greater than $250,000 received Warrants with a bonus 40% coverage (“Bonus Coverage”); however, if an Investor previously invested $250,000 or more in the Notes Offering, such Investor received Bonus Coverage if such Investor subsequently invested $100,000 or more in the Notes Offering. In addition to the terms customarily included in such instruments, the Warrants may be exercised by the Investors by providing to the Company a notice of exercise, payment and surrender of the Warrant.

 

In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements, each dated as of November 26, 2013, May 8, 2014 and June 25, 2014, and each by and between the Company and each of the Investors (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreements”), whereby the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) days after execution of the applicable Registration Rights Agreement and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days thereafter.

 

Because the Company was unable to file a registration statement pursuant to the terms of each Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or May 8, 2014, the Company was in default under such Registration Rights Agreements (the “Filing Default Damages”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Filing Default Damages mandate that the Company shall pay to the Investors, for each thirty (30) day period of such failure and until the filing date of the registration statement and/or the common stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% percent of the aggregate gross proceeds paid by the Investors for the Notes. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages in full within five (5) days of the date payable, which is the Note maturity date, the Company shall pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

 

In addition, because the Company was unable to have a registration statement declared effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013, the Company was in default under such Registration Rights

Agreements (the “Effectiveness Default Damages”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Effectiveness Default Damages mandated that the interest rate due under the Note corresponding to such Registration Rights Agreement will increase 2% above the then effective interest rate of such Note, and shall continue to increase by 2% every 30 days until a registration statement is declared effective. The Company’s registration statement covering its common stock, into which the Notes may be converted, was first filed on August 1, 2014, and was declared effective by the SEC on October 22, 2014. The Filing Default Damages stopped accruing on the date such registration statement was filed, and the Effectiveness Default Damages stopped accruing on the date it was declared effective.

 

On December 11, 2014, the Company sent a letter to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 (the “2013 Investors”) concerning the first interest payment that was scheduled to be paid pursuant to the Notes dated November 26, 2013 on the one year anniversary of the date that each 2013 Investor submitted payment for their Note (the “First Interest Payments”). The Company invited the 2013 Investors to convert the First Interest Payments into shares of the Company’s common stock to further this purpose. The Company also asked each 2013 Investor to execute an Agreement and Waiver (the “Agreement and Waiver”), which granted the Company a grace period, deferring the Company’s obligation to make payment of the First Interest Payment and interest that was due under the Note through November 26, 2014 (the “Interest Due”) until February 24, 2015 (the “Extension”), during which time such deferment would not be considered an Event of Default under the 2013 Investor’s Note. In return for granting the Extension, the Company offered to capitalize the Interest Due at a rate of 12% (the “Additional Interest”), which was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $0.25 per share as of February 24, 2014, unless the 2013 Investor requested to receive the Additional Interest in cash 15 days prior to the end of the Extension.

On January 23, 2015, the Company sent a letter agreement to the Investors holding Notes dated November 26, 2013 and May 8, 2014, which constituted all Investors with Filing Default Damages or Effectiveness Default Damages due to them pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of November 26, 2013 or May 8, 2014 (the “Agreement to Convert”). The Company invited the Investors, as applicable, to elect to convert the Interest Due and/or the Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, and asked each Investor, as applicable, to make such election by acknowledging and returning the Agreement to Convert to the Company. In connection with the Agreement and Waiver and Agreement to Convert, the Company issued 1,718,585 shares of its common stock representing $429,646 in Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages during the year ended December 31, 2015. The total accrued unpaid Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages as of December 31, 2015 amounted to $410,633.

 

In February 2016, the Company issued an additional 624,606 shares of its common stock as payment for Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages, representing payment to Investors of $156,152. Through March 31, 2016, the Company has issued in total 2,343,191 shares of its common stock representing $585,798 in Additional Interest, Interest Due, Filing Default Damages and Effectiveness Default Damages in connection with the Agreement and Waiver and Agreement to Convert.

 

During 2015, five Investors requested that the Company withhold payments of interest due under their Notes and allow the interest to accumulate without penalty, so that such Investors could convert said interest upon maturity of their Note.

 

In November 2015, the Company invited the 2013 Investors, with respect to outstanding principal and interest due under their respective Notes, to (i) receive payment in cash, (ii) convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, or (iii) forbear an election for three months, or until February 26, 2016, pursuant to a forbearance agreement, during such time interest under their respective Notes would continue to accrue. In February 2016, the Company invited the November 2013 Investors to extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes for an additional three months, or until May 26, 2016, under the same terms as the first forbearance agreements. All but five of the November 2013 Investors elected to forbear for the additional period.

 

In February 2016, the Company issued 165,486 shares of its common stock upon full conversion of a Note by a 2013 Investor. In total, $229,998 was paid to Investors in February 2016 in cash or shares of common stock. Also in February 2016, the Company paid $250,000 in principal of Notes, plus unpaid interest.

 

(B)  Terms of Debt

 

The debt carries interest between 12% and 15%, and was or is due in November 2015 (as extended to May 2016 pursuant to certain forbearance agreements), May 2016 and June 2016.

 

All Notes and Warrants issued in connection with the Notes Offering are convertible at $0.25 and $0.375/share, respectively, subject to the existence of a “ratchet feature”, which allows for a lower offering price if the Company offers shares to the public at a lower price.

 

(C) Future Commitments

 

At March 31, 2016, the Company has outstanding convertible debt of $3,926,902, which is payable within the next twelve months.

 

Note 8 Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and warrants issued in 2013 and 2014. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option, in the form a ratchet provision, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.

 

Table of Contents   18  
 

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the ratchet feature related to convertible debt and warrants is summarized as follow:

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as March 31, 2016:

Note 9 Debt Discount

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining fair value of the derivative liability, as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.

 

Accumulated amortization of derivative discount amounted to $4,205,443 as of March 31, 2016 and $4,153,611 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The Company recorded a change in the value of embedded derivative liabilities income/ (expense) of ($1,996,863) and $462,174 for the three ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 11 GE Royalty Obligation

 

In 2011, the Company executed a Trademark Licensing Agreement with General Electric, which allows the Company the right to market certain ceiling light and fan fixtures displaying the GE brand. The License Agreement imposes certain manufacturing and quality control conditions that the Company must maintain in order to continue to use the GE brand.

 

The License Agreement is non-transferable and cannot be sub-licensed. Various termination clauses are applicable, however, none were applicable as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a second amendment to the License Agreement pertaining to its royalty obligations. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company agreed to pay a total of $12,000,000 by November 2018 for the rights assigned in the original contract. In case the Company does not pay GE a total of at least $12,000,000 in cumulative royalties over the term of the License Agreement, the difference between $12,000,000 and the amount of royalties actually paid to GE is owed in December 2018.

 

Payments are due quarterly based upon the prior quarters’ sales. The Company made payments of $92,913 and $75,130, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The License Agreement obligation will be paid from sales of GE branded product subject to the following repayment schedule:

  Net Sales in Contract Year       Percentage of the Contract Year Net Sales owed to GE  
  $0 - $50,000,000       7 %
  $50,000,001 - $100,000,000       6 %
  $100,000,001+       5 %

 

The Company has limited operating history and does not have the ability to estimate the sales of GE branded product, the liability is classified as long-term. As sales are recognized, the Company will estimate the portion it expects to pay in the current year and classify as current.

Note 14 Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had net income of $387,060 and net cash used in operations of $(1,053,901) for the three months ended March 31, 2016; and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $(31,787,382) at March 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including convertible debt and/or other term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company’s currently available cash along with anticipated revenues may not be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview

 

We are a company engaged in the business of developing proprietary technology that enables a quick and safe installation of electrical fixtures, such as light fixtures and ceiling fans, by the use of a weight bearing power plug installed in ceiling and wall electrical junction boxes. Our patented technology consists of a fixable socket and a revolving plug for conducting electric power and supporting an electrical appliance attached to a wall or ceiling. The socket is comprised of a nonconductive body that houses conductive rings connectable to an electric power supply through terminals in its side exterior. The plug, also comprised of a nonconductive body that houses corresponding conductive rings, attaches to the socket via a male post and is capable of feeding electric power to an appliance. The plug also includes a second structural element allowing it to revolve with a releasable latching which, when engaged, provides a retention force between the socket and the plug to prevent disengagement. The socket and plug can be detached by releasing the latch, disengaging the electric power from the plug. The socket is designed to replace the support bar incorporated in electric junction boxes, and the plug can be installed in light fixtures, ceiling fans and wall sconce fixtures. The combined socket and plug technology is referred to as the “SQL Technology” throughout this prospectus.

 

We currently manufacture and sell ceiling fans and lighting fixtures branded with the General Electric Corporation (“General Electric” or “GE”) logo and manufactured under GE’s strict guidance, pursuant to a trademark license agreement between us and General Electric (the “License Agreement”). Our ceiling fans and lighting fixtures offer unique designs, and are manufactured with and without the SQL Technology.

 

Also in furtherance of our business model, the Company has actively developed trade distribution channels with key retailers, undergone a corporate restructuring, established and obtained authorizations for our third party manufacturers to produce the SQL Technology, and raised the necessary capital resources to fully implement our business model.

Revenue

We had recorded revenue of $1,748,061 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to revenue of $1,419,217 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The increase in revenue is attributable to reorders from existing customers and orders from a new customer.

 

Cost of Sales

We had a cost of sales of $1,564,045 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to costs of sales of $1,239,728 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The $324,317 increase is attributable to increased sales activity.

 

Gross Profit

We had gross profit of $184,016 or 10.5% of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to gross profit of $179,489 or 12.6% of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The gross profit reflects the completion of initial orders received from customers for which gross margin tends to be lower than targeted due to the costs associated with gaining acceptance as a new vendor. The Company expects gross margins on follow-on orders to improve towards market levels.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense increased $180,406 to $1,427,779 for the threemonth period ended March 31, 2016, from $1,247,373 for the threemonth period ended March 31, 2015.

 

The increases in the general and administrative expenses were due to the following significant items:

 

$52,700 increase in China operations associated with product quality and inspection.
$50,800 increase in warehousing, freight, inspection costs associated with increased store and internet sales activity.
$50,100 increase in legal and SEC fees associated with being a public company and managing debt activity.
$30,900 increase in commissions associated with increased sales.

Table of Contents   27  
 

$32,200 increase in telecommunications and web development expense.
$20,800 increase in payroll and benefits associated with additional staff.

 

These items were partially offset by decreases in the following expenses:

 

$63,100 decrease in consulting expenses.
$22,200 decrease in marketing expenses.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income (Loss) from operations represents the change in general and administrative expenses offset by the gross profit on sales for the periods presented.

 

Other Income (Expense)

Total other income (expenses) increased $1,917,171 to $1,630,823 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, from $(286,348) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The change is associated with a $1,534,689 non-cash income increase in non-cash derivatives income associated with an increase in the value of the Company’s common stock and a $382,500 decrease in interest expense.

 

Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) per Share

The Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 was $387,060 and $0.01 per share, respectively, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, where net loss was approximately ($1,354,232) and ($0.14) per share, respectively.

 

Interest Expense

 

The following table details the Company’s interest expense components:

 

  For the three months ended March 31
    2016   2015
         
Interest accrued on Notes outstanding.   $ 131,256     $ 169,190  
Interest on SBA loan with Signature Bank     2,927       4,318  
TOTAL INTEREST EXPENSE – Notes Payable     134,183       173,508  
Amortization of Debt Issue Cost     8,569       38,612  
Amortization of Debt Discount     223,288       536,402  
    $ 366,040     $ 748,522  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs and continues to operate with negative cash flow, which may require it to seek additional capital to maintain current operations. In addition, if sufficient sales growth is achieved, the Company may be required to enter into financing arrangements to fund its working capital needs. The Company currently has no such financing commitments in place.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash flows used ($1,053,901) for operations as compared with ($1,423,976) used for the same period in 2015. The Company’s used cash from operations was due to the $387,060 operating income, $760,513 increase in accounts receivable, $116,298 increase in royalty obligations payable pursuant to the License Agreement. These amounts were offset by a decrease of $1,996,863 in non-cash derivative expense, $608,696 increase in amortization of the License Agreement, and a $276,951 increase in the amortization of debt discount.

 

Table of Contents   28  
 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash flows used ($14,915) for investing activities as compared with ($7,446) used for the same period in 2014. The difference was due to the purchase of fixed assets and securing patents.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash flows provided $630,450 from financing activities as compared to $375,629 for the same period in 2015. The Company received proceeds of $300,000 from the issuance of shares of common stock, $500,000 advance from a related party, and $197,523 in issuance of stock in lieu of principal and interest due under certain convertible promissory notes of the Company, which was offset by $367,073 in principal repayments of certain convertible promissory notes of the Company.

 

As a result of the above operating, investing and financing activities, the Company used ($438,366) in cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared with ($1,056,793) used in the same period in 2015.

 

The Company had a working capital deficit of $26,858,669 as of March 31, 2016, as compared to $28,174,512 as of December 31, 2015. The change is primarily attributable to an increase in accrued expenses and advance by the related party.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $122,844 in inventory to support ecommerce activity on Internet sales platforms of the Company’s customers. The inventory is located with a third party logistics firm.

 

A majority of the Company’s sales do not require the Company to take delivery of inventory. Production of the SQL Technology and fixtures will be originated upon receipt of FOB (free on board) purchase contracts from customers. Upon the completion of each purchase contract, the finished products will be transported from the manufacturer directly to the ports and loaded on vessels secured by the customer, upon which the products become the property of the customer.

 

The Company’s cash balance as of March 31, 2016 was $12,502. In light of the Company’s projected working capital needs, it may need to seek additional capital, which may dilute existing shareholders. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or be successful in the execution of its plans.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For a discussion of our accounting policies and related items, please see the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in Part I, Item 1.

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201503, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 83530): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 201503”). ASU 201503 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 201503. ASU 201503 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company will reclassify debt issuance costs from prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets as a reduction to debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 201503 and does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 201503will materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201511, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 201511”), which applies guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory. ASU 201511 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last in, first out or the retail inventory method. ASU 201511 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 201511 and is currently evaluating ASU 201511 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventory consist of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.  

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Asset - Patent

The Company developed a patent for an installation device used in light fixtures and ceiling fans. Costs incurred for submitting the applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for these patents have been capitalized. Patent costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the related 15 year lives. The Company begins amortizing patent costs once a filing receipt is received stating the patent serial number and filing date from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company also capitalizes legal costs incurred in the defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit or a successful defense of its patents involves considerable management judgment, and an unfavorable outcome of litigation could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

Table of Contents   31  
 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under Level 3.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

 

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly

price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Table of Contents   32  
 
Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

Table of Contents   33  
 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset.

 

This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

 

Table of Contents   34  
 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Income Tax Provision

From the inception of the Company and through November 6, 2012, the Company was taxed as a pass-through entity (a limited liability company) under the Internal Revenue Code and was not subject to federal and state income taxes; accordingly, no provision had been made.

 

The financial statements reflect the Company’s transactions without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes for the period from November 7, 2012 to December 31, 2012. The net loss generated by the Company for the period January 1, 2012 to November 6, 2012 has been excluded from the computation of income taxes.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty (50) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2012 through 2015.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2016 (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is also serving as our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC’s”) rules and forms and that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

 

Changes In Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company entered into award agreements concerning 25,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,150,000 shares issuable upon exercise of options issued pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. The awards are not exercisable in the hands of the grantees until the approval of the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan by a majority of Company’s shareholders is effective.

 

Beginning in November 2015, we conducted an offering of up to $2,000,000 of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “November 2015 Offering Shares”), at $1.00 per share to certain accredited and non-accredited investors (the “November 2015 Stock Offering”). Upon each closing of the November 2015 Stock Offering, the Company entered into a securities subscription agreement and registration rights agreement with each investor. The Company completed two closings of the November 2015 Stock Offering, as follows: (i) on December 24, 2015, the Company closed on aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $500,000 and thereafter issued 500,000 shares of its common stock on January 4, 2016; and (ii) on February 19, 2016, the Company closed on aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $300,000, and thereafter issued 300,000 shares of its common stock on February 22, 2016. The November 2015 Stock Offering ended on February 19, 2016, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $800,000.

 

On January 11, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on form S-1 (the “2016 Registration Statement”) covering 4,282,666 shares of its common stock, representing all shares sold in three closings of an offering completed by the Company during 2015, and shares issued pursuant to the November 2015 Stock Offering on January 4, 2016. The 2016 Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 20, 2016.

Item 5. Other Information

 

In November 2015, the Company invited the holders (the “November 2013 Noteholders”) of the Company’s Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued November 26, 2013 (the “Notes”), with respect to outstanding principal and interest due under their respective Notes, to (i) receive payment in cash, (ii) convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, or (iii) forbear an election for three (3) months, or until February 26, 2016, pursuant to a forbearance agreement, during such time interest under their respective Notes would continue to accrue (the “First Forbearance”). In February 2016, the Company invited the November 2013 Investors to extend their forbearance period to make an election to convert or redeem their Notes for an additional three months, or until May 26, 2016, under the same terms as the First Forbearance (the “Second Forbearance”). All but five of the November 2013 Investors elected the Second Forbearance for the additional period.

On April 4, 2016, the Company entered into a securities subscription agreement with an accredited investor, as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), pursuant to which the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share (the “April 2016 Private Placement”).  We also issued to the investor a one-year common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 1,666,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  The April 2016 Private Placement resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $5,000,000.

 

The following information is being reported in Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in satisfaction of Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 of a Current Report on Form 8-K, concerning entry into a material definitive agreement and an unregistered sale of equity securities, respectively.

 

On May 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”), as defined under Regulation D, Rule 501 of the Securities Act, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 675,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of USD $2.60 per share (the “Shares”), (ii) a three year Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 1,350,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price ranging between  USD  $3.00  and  USD  $3.50  per  share  (depending  on  the  date  of  exercise)  (the  “Warrant”),  and  (iii)  a  right  to subsequently receive warrants to purchase up to 1,350,000 shares of our common stock at USD $3.00 per share the ("Volume Warrants"), which will become issuable upon (a) the Company meeting specified thresholds based on the Company generating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ranging from $26.9 million to $76.9 million in a fiscal year during the warrant term, (b) completion of a private placement of a minimum of $15,000,000 at pre-money valuation thresholds ranging from $350,000,000 to $1,000,000,000, or (c) the sale of at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets at pre-money valuation thresholds ranging from $350,000,000 to $1,000,000,000.  Each such Volume Warrant payment upon the achievement of specified thresholds will be a one-time payment.

 

On May  10,  2016,  we  closed  on  the  Subscription Agreement  and  issued  the  Warrant,  upon  the  Company’s  receipt  of  net aggregate proceeds of USD $1,755,000, and could receive up to an amount between USD $4,050,000 and USD $4,725,000 in gross proceeds upon exercise of the Warrant, depending on the timing of such exercise. The Company could receive additional proceeds of  up  to  USD  $4,050,000,  if  all  the  Volume  Warrants  are  subsequently  issued  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the Subscription Agreement and fully exercised by the holder thereof. The Company did not utilize the services of, or pay any commissions to, a broker-dealer or third party in connection with the transaction.

 

The foregoing descriptions of  the  Subscription  Agreement,  the  Warrant  and  the  Volume  Warrants  do  not  purport  to  be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of Subscription Agreement and Warrant filed  as  Exhibit  10.4  to  this  Quarterly  Report,  and  incorporated  herein  by  reference.  The representations, warranties  and  covenants  contained  in  the  Subscription Agreement  were  made  solely  for  the  benefit  of  the  parties  to  the agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Subscription Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding its terms and not to provide investors with  any  other  factual  information  regarding  the  Company  or  its  business,  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other SEC filings.

 

The  Company  is  providing  this  information  in  accordance  with  Rule  135c  under  the  Securities Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the “Securities Act”), and the notice contained herein does not constitute an offer to sell the Company’s securities, and is not a solicitation  for  an  offer  to  purchase  the  Company’s  securities. The Company has sold the Shares, the Warrant and the right to receive Volume Warrants in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the above transaction did not involve a public offering. Additionally, the Company relied on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The investor in the sale had access to information about the Company and its investments, took the Shares, the Warrant and the right to receive Volume Warrants for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the Shares, the Warrant and the Volume Warrants (if issued). Upon issuance, the resale of the Shares, the Warrant and the Volume Warrants (if issued) will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

(f)            Indemnification Generally .

 

 

(i)             The Company, on the one hand, and the Subscriber, on the other hand (each an “ Indemnifying Party ”), shall indemnify the other from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, charges, actions, proceedings, demands, judgments, settlement costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any breach of a representation and warranty, covenant or agreement by the Indemnifying Party and all claims, charges, actions or proceedings incident to or arising out of the foregoing.

To Purchase 1,350,000 Shares of Common Stock of

 

SAFETY QUICK LIGHTING & FANS CORP.

 

May 10, 2016 (the “ Issuance Date ”)

 

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) CERTIFIES that, for value received, [ ] (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of this Warrant and on or prior to the third anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp., a Florida corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 1,350,000 shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Common Stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the “ Exercise Price ”) under this Warrant shall be (i) US $3.00 (three dollars US) if exercised prior to the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (ii) $3.25 (three dollars and twenty-five cents US) if exercised on or after the one year anniversary and before the two year anniversary of the Issuance Date, or (iii) $3.50 (three dollars and fifty cents US) if exercised on or after the two year anniversary and through the Termination Date.

 

The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Subscription Agreement (the “ Subscription Agreement ”), dated as of May 10, 2016, among the Company and the Purchaser parties signatory thereto.

 

1. Title to Warrant . Prior to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws, including transfer restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws, and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

 

2 Authorization of Shares . The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares, which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, including the payment of the exercise price for such Warrant Shares, will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

3. Exercise of Warrant .

 

(a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company) and surrender of this Warrant, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank in immediately available funds. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within 5 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the later of the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company and the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a) by the end of business (New York, New York time) on the fifth Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

(c) If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant, there is no effective Registration Statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder at such time, this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

 

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

VWAP ” shall mean, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time); (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

 

5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

 

6. Closing of Books . The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

7. Transfer, Division and Combination .

 

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof, and to the provisions of Section 4 of the Subscription Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

 

(b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

 

(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 7.

 

(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.

 

(e) The Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 

8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise . This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.

 

9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

 

 

11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares . The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the event that the Company: (i) pays a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock; (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or (iv) issues any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company that are purchasable pursuant hereto immediately after such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

 

12. Subsequent Equity Sales . In the event that on or subsequent to the Issuance Date, the Company issues or sells any Common Stock, any securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for its Common Stock or any convertible securities, or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase of its Common Stock or any such convertible securities (the “ Common Stock Equivalents ”) (other than (i) securities which are issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or this Warrant, (ii) shares of Common Stock or options to purchase such shares issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors in accordance with stock plans approved by the Board of Directors, and shares of Common Stock issuable under options or warrants that are outstanding as of the date hereof or issued pursuant to any stock incentive plan authorized by the Board of Directors, and (iii) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a stock dividend, split or other similar transaction) at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale shall be reduced to the lowest per share price of Common Stock in such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale.

 

13. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets . In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“ Other Property ”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then, from and after the consummation of such transaction or event, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, instead of the Warrant Shares, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. For purposes of this Section 13, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

 

 

14. Notice of Adjustment . Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

 

15. Notice of Corporate Action . If at any time:

 

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or

 

(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation or,

 

(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

 

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend or distribution or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 16(d).

 

16. Authorized Shares . The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

 

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

Holder hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in every suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based on this Warrant and brought in any such court, any claim that Holder is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that Holder’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.

 

(b) Restrictions . The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered for resale, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

(c) Nonwaiver and Expenses . No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

Exhibit D

 

Volume Warrants

 

[ ] (“ [Subscriber] ”) shall be entitled to receive Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,350,000 shares of the common stock, no par value per share (“ Common Stock ”), of the Company (each a “ Volume Warrant ” and collectively, the “ Volume Warrants ”). Each Volume Warrant shall become issuable as provided below, and any issued Volume Warrant will be exercisable commencing on the date it is issued and ending on the date that is prior to the later of (i) five (5) years from the date of issuance or (ii) thirty (30) days from the date [Subscriber] is notified of the EBITDA (as defined herein) for the year ending December 31, 2020 (the “ Volume Warrant Term ”).

 

Subject to adjustment as described below, the exercise price of one share of Common Stock (the “ Exercise Price ”) will be $3.00 per share.

 

A portion of the Volume Warrants to purchase up to 1,350,000 shares of Common Stock will, from time to time, become issuable by [Subscriber] upon (i) the Company achieving specific EBITDA Valuation (as defined below) thresholds in any fiscal year (January 1 through December 31) prior to December 31, 2020, (ii) each applicable Financing Transaction (as defined herein) or (iii) each Sales Transaction (as defined herein) prior to December 31, 2020.

 

The form of the Volume Warrants will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “ Form of Warrant ”), with such number of shares issuable pursuant to a Volume Warrant and such exercise price thereto subject to adjustment under the same terms set forth in Sections 11 of the Form of Warrant, and with such rights of the holder thereto to notice of a corporate action and right to exchange of securities under the same terms set forth in Sections 15 of the Form of Warrant, in both cases based on the Company’s capitalization as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Subscription Agreement).

 

1. Company Valuation

 

Volume Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock will become issuable in accordance with the following schedule:

 

Upon the Company Achieving EBITDA Valuation of:

Number of Volume Warrants Issuable

to Purchase Common Stock

One Time Cumulative
$350,000,000 to $499,999,999 400,000 400,000
$500,000,000 to $749,999,999 200,000 600,000
$750,000,000 to $999,999,999 300,000 900,000
$1,000,000 or over 450,000 1,350,000

 

Volume Warrants will become issuable only once upon the achievement of each threshold during the Volume Warrant Term.

 

Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the end of each fiscal (calendar) year, the Company shall cause its accountants to calculate the Company’s EBITDA for the immediately preceding calendar year and deliver its calculation of this EBITDA to the Company and to [Subscriber]. [Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants that become issuable pursuant to this Section 1 will be deemed issuable as of the date [Subscriber] is notified of the EBITDA Valuation.

 

 

For Example:

 

If the Company’s EBITDA for 2017 is $47,000,000, which equates to an EBITDA Valuation of $611,000,000, then [Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock will become issuable (400,000 + 200,000).

 

Upon the Company Achieving EBITDA Valuation of: Number of Volume Warrants Issuable to Purchase Common Stock
One Time Cumulative
$350,000,000 to $499,999,999 400,000 400,000
$500,000,000 to $749,999,999 200,000 600,000

 

If the Company’s EBITDA for 2018 is equal to its EBITDA for 2017 of $47,000,000 then [Subscriber]’s other Volume Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock will not become issuable based upon the Company’s EBITDA for 2018 since a new threshold is not accomplished.

 

If, however, the Company’s EBITDA for 2017 is $47,000,000 (which equates to $611,000,000 EBITDA Valuation) and the Company’s EBITDA for 2018 is $70,000,000 (which equates to $910,000,000 EBITDA Valuation), [Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock would immediately become issuable.

 

Upon the Company Achieving EBITDA Valuation of: Number of Volume Warrants Issuable to Purchase Common Stock
One Time Cumulative
$350,000,000 to $499,999,999 400,000 400,000
$500,000,000 to $749,999,999 200,000 600,000
$750,000,000 to $999,999,999 300,000 900,000

 

2. Financing Event .

 

At each and every Transaction (as defined herein) in which the Company completes a Financing (as defined herein) of at least $15,000,000 (in one or more closings within a twelve (12) month period), [Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock will become issuable in accordance with the following schedule:

$750,000,000 to $999,999,999 300,000 900,000
$1,000,000,000 or more 450,000 1,350,000

 

 

[Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock will become issuable at each threshold in the above schedule only once.

 

For Example:

If the Company has a $15,000,000 Financing (in one or more closings within a 12 month time period) with a Pre-Money Valuation of $600,000,000, then [Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock will become issuable (400,000 + 200,000).

$1,000,000,000 or more 450,000 1,350,000

 

If the Company has a second Financing of at least $15,000,000 (in one or more closings within a 12 month time period) with a Pre-Money Valuation of $900,000,000, [Subscriber]’s Volume Warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock will become issuable bringing the total number of shares of Common Stock [Subscriber] may purchase from the Volume Warrants that become issuable under this Section 2 to 900,000 shares (400,000 + 200,000 + 300,000).

4. Definitions

 

Contingent Payments means the consideration received or receivable by the Company, its employees, current equity holders and/or any other parties in the form of deferred performance or retention-based payments, “earn-outs”, or other contingent payments based upon the occurrence of future events.

 

EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

 

EBITDA Valuation means EBITDA multiplied by thirteen (13).

 

Financing means a private placement of equity, equity-linked or debt securities (including, without limitation, any convertible securities, preferred stock, common stock, unsecured, non-senior or subordinated debt securities, senior notes, loans, bank debt, and/or any debt with warrants) (any or all of which being “Securities”) to provide financing involving less than 50% of the business, assets or equity interests of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any right or option to acquire any of the foregoing, or any entity formed by or at the direction of the Company, in one or more transactions.

 

 

Pre-Money Valuation means pre-investment value of the enterprise that is implied by the per-share price of the stock being offered and the number of fully-diluted shares outstanding before the investment. Fully-diluted shares shall include any outstanding shares and contingent equity such as stock options, warrants, and convertible notes in the calculation. For purposes of illustration, if the Company’s shares are valued at $100.00 and it has 5 million shares fully-diluted outstanding prior to any new investment, then the Company has a pre-money valuation of $500 million. Any non-cash consideration provided to or received in connection with a Financing Event (including but not limited to intellectual or intangible property, securities, labor or services rendered, debt ((or cancellation thereof)) or tangible property) shall be valued for purposes of calculating the Pre-Money Valuation as equaling the number of securities issued in exchange for such consideration multiplied by (in the case of debt securities) the face value of each such security or (in the case of equity securities) the price per security paid in the then current round of financing.

 

Sale Transaction means a merger, consolidation, joint venture, partnership, spin-off, split-off, business combination, tender or exchange offer, recapitalization, acquisition, sale, distribution, transfer or other disposition of assets or equity interests, or other transaction, involving more than 50% of the business, assets or equity interests of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any right or option to acquire any of the foregoing, in one or more transactions.

 

Total Consideration means the total proceeds and other consideration paid or received, or to be paid or received, directly or indirectly, in connection with or in anticipation of a Sale Transaction (which consideration shall be deemed to include amounts in escrow), including, without limitation, cash, notes, securities, and other property received or to be received by the Company or any of its affiliates, creditors or security holders (including, without limitation, the holders of convertible securities, options, warrants, stock appreciation rights or similar rights, whether or not vested); deferred non-contingent payments (such as installment payments); amounts payable under above-market consulting agreements, above-market employment contracts, non-compete or severance agreements, employee benefit plans, reimbursement for taxes or similar arrangements; Contingent Payments (as defined below); and, in the case of a partnership, joint venture or similar structure, the gross value of all cash, securities, assets and other consideration contributed, invested, committed, or otherwise made available by the Company or any other parties to such partnership, joint venture or similar structure.

 

For the purpose of calculating the consideration received or receivable in connection with or in anticipation of a Sale Transaction, any securities (other than a promissory note) will be valued at the time of the closing of the Sale Transaction (without regard to any restrictions on transferability) as follows: (i) if such securities are traded on a stock exchange, the securities will be valued at the average last sale or closing price for the ten trading days immediately prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction; (ii) if such securities are traded primarily in over-the-counter transactions, the securities will be valued at weighted average of the mean of the closing bid and asked quotations over a ten trading day period immediately prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction with the weighting based on the number of shares actually traded each day over such ten trading day period; and (iii) if such securities have not been traded in the public market prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction, the securities will be valued at the fair market value thereof as of the day prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction, as such fair market value shall be mutually agreed by [Subscriber] and the Company acting in good faith. The value of any purchase money or other promissory notes, installment sales contracts or other deferred non-contingent consideration shall be deemed to be the face amount thereof, and shall be included as part of the Total Consideration for the purpose of determining the number of Volume Warrants issued to [Subscriber]. In the event the Transaction Value includes any Contingent Payments, the Company and [Subscriber] will negotiate in good faith to agree on the value of such Contingent Payments for the purpose of calculating that the Transaction Value and the number of Volume Warrants issued to [Subscriber]. If the parties cannot reach such an agreement, an additional number of Volume Warrants will be issued to [Subscriber], if applicable based on the Transaction Value, in the same proportions and at the same times as the Contingent Payments are paid or received. Any other non-cash consideration shall be valued at the fair market value thereof as of the day prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction, as such fair market value shall be mutually agreed by [Subscriber] and the Company acting in good faith.

 

Transaction Value means the total value of the Sale Transaction calculated as if 100% of the equity interests of the Company on a fully diluted basis had been sold by dividing the Total Consideration by the percentage of ownership which is sold. The Transaction Value shall include the aggregate principal amount of any debt, pension liabilities, guarantees and any other liabilities or obligations of the Company or any of its affiliates or security holders (i) retired, refinanced, restructured, redeemed, decreased, repaid or extinguished in connection with or anticipation of a Sale Transaction or (ii) assumed in an acquisition of assets or which remain outstanding at the time of closing in all other cases. If any cash or other assets of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates are sold or otherwise transferred to another party after the date hereof (including, without limitation, any dividends, distributions or other amounts paid to option or other security holders, amounts paid to repurchase any securities, or transaction-related bonus payments made to employees), or are retained after the consummation of the Sale Transaction, the Transaction Value will be increased to reflect the fair market value of any such assets. Any part of the Total Consideration held pursuant to an escrow account established before or in connection with the consummation of a Sale Transaction shall be deemed paid or received and not contingent. For purposes of this provision, the Transaction Value shall exclude cash or cash equivalents remaining on the Company’s financial statements at closing of a Transaction.
