Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Description of the Company

 

Her Imports, (previously known as EZJR, Inc.), (“the Company” or “Her”), was incorporated on August 14, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

Corporate Structure and Business

 

Her is a retailer of Human Hair Extensions and related haircare and beauty products headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company sells its products at consultation studios and on its Website, www.herimports.com. As of June 30, 2018, the Company operated 21 retail locations, all of which are in the U.S. These locations are primarily in “executive offices suites” such as Regus PLC, where furniture, administrative staff and security are provided. The Company then stocks the location with products and point-of-sale equipment. These locations are leased on a short-term basis (primarily one year or less). Five leases, including our corporate office, have leases longer than one year at the time they were entered into. This allows the Company to open and close its consultation studios within a short period of time at minimal expense to the Company. At the Company’s consultation studios, the customer is provided with a personal, one-on-one consultation with a Her beauty expert. Additionally, the Company has one larger location in Greenbelt Maryland where there are several consultants as well as a waiting room.

 

The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Her Marketing Concepts, Inc. (“Her Marketing”), a Nevada corporation. All employees of the Company are employed by Her Marketing.

 

Agreement with Cabello Real Ltd.

 

On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Share Purchase & Business Agreement with Cabello Real Ltd. (“Cabello”), a private United Arab Emirates company to acquire the exclusive U.S. rights to the Her Imports trademark. In addition to these rights, the Company also purchased certain other assets owned by Cabello including customer lists and various digital content. In exchange for these rights, and other digital assets, the Company issued to Cabello 10,000,000 shares of non-voting, non-cumulative, callable preferred stock (subsequently revised to 5,000,000) with a dividend rate of $0.144 per share per annum and a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share. In addition, the Cabello received 1,250,000 shares of common stock. Both the preferred stock and common stock issued were unregistered. Additionally, the Company applied with the State of Nevada for the approval of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences, and Rights of Callable Non-cumulative Preferred Stock. The Certificate designated 5,000,000 as Callable Non-cumulative Preferred Stock at a par value of $.001 per share. Cabello is controlled by Mr. Jonathan Terry, who is the Company’s principal shareholder who is also actively involved in its daily operations.

 

On January 12, 2017, the Company changed its name from EZJR, Inc. to Her Imports.

 

eCommerce Platform

 

In January 2018 the Company converted to a new cloud-based eCommerce platform from its server-based eCommerce platform. The primary reason for the change was to allow the Company to optimize its mobile marketing efforts. In the past, marketing efforts have focused on traditional media, email, and search. However, due to the proliferation of smart phones and social media it is much more effective, while less expensive, to reach our customers using mobile marketing using SMS messaging and social platforms such as Facebook and Snapchat. Furthermore, advances in eCommerce shopping carts to cloud-based platforms allow for significant customization that was not previously available. The Company can interface with the shopping cart using various self-developed “mini-CRMs” depending on the marketing promotion and platform.

 

As a result of the change, the Company incurred a one-time charge of $383,542 from the write-off of the previous CRM and the prepaid maintenance agreement associated with it.

Media Investor Purchaser Agreement

 

On June 29, 2014, the Company entered into a Media Investor Purchaser Agreement (“MIP”) with Leader Act HK Ltd (“Leader”), a shareholder. On July 31, 2017, this agreement was assigned by Leader to Cabello. Under the terms of the assigned agreement, Cabello undertakes the responsibility to provide the investment dollars for the “media purchase.” The purpose of this media purchase is to generate revenues from the sale of various products and services. When revenues are generated they will be split on a 50/50 basis after deducting direct expenses and fees related to the revenues the media purchase, merchant fees, product costs, and affiliate fees. Cabello is responsible for lead generation by spending the funds necessary to purchase various media while managing the overall process. Cabello is also responsible for graphic design, Website design and various other programming expenses. Conversely, the Company is responsible for customer service, network costs, accounting, and any other related general and administrative costs. Prior to signing the agreement Leader advanced the Company $50,000 which the agreement allowed to be converted to 83,333 shares of common at $.60 per share. That left up to 9,500,000 shares of common stock that Cabello could purchase at $0.05 per share from its portion of the funds generated by the offers it creates. Contrary to customary practice, the MIP did not provide for any adjustment in the event of a future reverse split so the Company’s recent reverse split did not affect the number of shares purchasable or the exercise price. This highlighted an unfair agreement which adversely affected the Company. This problem was exacerbated since Cabello is a related party. From April 19 to April 20, 2018, Cabello ran a program to sell a variety of the Company’s hair products. This program generated approximately $150,000 in revenue, however, a final accounting of the results of the program were never completed. Instead, on June 20, 2018 the Company issued to Cabello 4,500,000 of restricted common stock in exchange for cancelation of the MIP Agreement and forgiveness of any monies owed to Cabello for program in April. This cancellation resulted in a non-cash expense of $3,397,500 based on the estimated value of the stock issued in exchange for the cancellation of the agreement.

 

Agreement with Cabello Real FZE

 

On April 20, 2017, the Company entered into a Marketing and Selling Agreement with Cabello Real FZE, owner of a hair care product line called OSIworks, whereby the Company exclusively purchases, markets and sells OSIworks’ products in the United States. Under the agreement the Company pays Cabello a royalty of 2% of net sales. Cabello Real FZE is also controlled by Jonathan Terry, the Company’s principal shareholder. During the three and six months ended quarter ending June 30, 2018 the Company recognized royalty expense of $4,522 and $5,894, respectively, related to the agreement.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes in Significant Accounting Policies from those described in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2018.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Her Marketing. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Her Marketing. The Company maintains its books of account and prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

On January 31, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split effective January 31, 2017. The par value was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. On April 9, 2018, the Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective April 9, 2018. All references to numbers of shares of our common stock and per-share information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect these splits.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

  7  

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are a reasonable approximation of the fair value of those financial instruments because of the nature of the underlying transactions and the short-term maturities involved.

Deposits

 

    June 30,     December 31,  
    2018     2017  
Deposits on Products   $ 156,068     $ 175,819  
Security Deposits     33,230       20,573  
Total   $ 189,298     $ 196,392  

 

Intangibles

 

Intangible assets are comprised primarily of trademarks that represent the Company’s exclusive ownership of the HER trademarks in the US and are inclusive all related social media sites and domain names in the US., all used in connection with (consisting of the name, Her Imports and the Her Imports Logo) the manufacture, sale and distribution of human hair extensions and related beauty products. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification 350 (FASB ASC 350), intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually, or when events indicate that an impairment exists through the use of discounted cash flow models. The Company calculates impairment as the excess of the carrying value of its indefinite-lived assets over their estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of fair value a write-down is recorded. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 there were no impairments recorded.

 

  9  

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2014-09, as amended, is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018.

 

The adoption did not result in any material change in the timing of recognizing revenue The adoption will also result in a change in the timing of recognizing revenue for sales where we ship the merchandise to the customer from a distribution center or store, as revenue for sales where we ship the merchandise to customers will be recognized when control of the merchandise transfers to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment rather than upon delivery of the products to the customer. Additionally, the Company has had a deminimis amount of sales returns.

 

The Company, through the Her Imports retail locations and its eCommerce Website, www.herimports.com, sells a variety of hair extensions and related products.

 

Revenue is recognized at the “point of sale” in the stores. Customers pay for the products using either cash, a debit card or a credit card. All sales are final. In the case of cash sales at the store, the store manager makes a nightly deposit of the cash. For credit card and debit sales, the Company recognizes the sale when the card is charged and approved. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and is included in accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Product purchases on the Company’s Website are paid for using either debit cards, credit cards, or PayPal Revenue for online product sales are recognized upon shipment of the product. Additionally, customers have the option of making installment payments on products purchased. In this case fifty percent of the purchase price is paid at the time of sale and the remainder withdrawn from the customer’s account via ACH. Because there is a significant amount of uncertainty related to the subsequent collections via ACH, those payment are only recognized as revenue upon receipt. Finally, customers may purchase product using a payment facility called PayNearMe where a customer who doesn’t have a debit/credit/PayPal account can place an online order with an agreement to take cash and pay for the order at a PayNearMe location. The product is then shipped at time PayNearMe notifies the Company that the payment has been received. Revenue is recognized at the time of the shipment of the product.

 

Also included in revenue is shipping revenue from our e-commerce customers. Sales taxes collected from retail customers are excluded from reported revenues when control of the merchandise transfers to the customers, which is generally at the time of shipment rather than upon delivery of the products to the customer.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

  10  

 

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

All references to numbers of shares of our common stock and per-share information in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the Company’s 1-for-2 reverse stock split effected on January 31, 2017, and a 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective April 9, 2018. The par value was not adjusted because of the reverse stock splits.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation issued to external entities for goods and services at either the fair market value of the shares issued, or the value of the services received, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in FASB ASC 505-50-30. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $36,001 and $55,822, respectively. There was no stock-based compensation for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Except as noted below, the Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements, based on current information.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements and ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, to provide additional guidance for the adoption of Topic 842. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain provisions and correct unintended applications of the guidance such as the application of implicit rate, lessee reassessment of lease classification, and certain transition adjustments that should be recognized to earnings rather than to stockholders’ equity. ASU 2018-11 provides an alternative transition method and practical expedient for separating contract components for the adoption of Topic 842. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases with terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-10, and ASU 2016-02 (collectively, “the new lease standards”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new lease standards will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the Company anticipates recognizing assets and liabilities arising from any leases that meet the requirements under the new lease standards on the adoption date and including qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the Company’s Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 affect a wide variety of Topics in the FASB Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The Company has evaluated ASU 2018-09 in its entirety and determined that the amendments related to Topic 718-740, Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, are the only provisions that currently apply to the Company. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 related to Topic 718-740, Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, clarify that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits related to stock compensation transactions in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 related to Topic 718-740 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. This standard amends Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) to provide guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Reform Act) pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which allows companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. As described in the footnotes to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Reform Act is being assessed; however, in certain cases, as described below, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and valuation allowance. The Company determined that the $62.9 million recorded in connection with the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, and corresponding valuation allowance was a provisional amount and a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017. The Company has not completed the accounting with regard to the tax effects associated with an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights with the enactment of Tax Reform Act. Our accounting for the intra-entity transfer reflects the utilization of net operating losses on the basis of the laws in effect before the Tax Reform Act. The Company is evaluating the impact under Tax Reform Act on the Company’s global business structure. In all aspects, the Company will continue to make and refine calculations as additional analysis is completed. The Company expects to complete the accounting assessment during the one-year measurement period provided by SAB 118.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had a receivable from Cabello, its principal stockholder, of $181,971 and $108,026, respectively, that resulted from payments made by the Company on behalf of Cabello. The Company has the right to offset this receivable against any future dividend payments owed Cabello related to the preferred stock described in Note 1. As described in Note 11, subsequent to June 30, 2018, two dividends of $60,000 each were declared and offset against amounts owed by Cabello. For further information on related party transactions, see Note 1. As described below, the Company incurred $9,449 in royalty expense in 2018 which has also been offset against the Cabello receivable.

Concentrations

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has only twelve qualified vendors that supply its wigs and hair extension products. The Company sources its hair care products from one vendor. There are numerous suppliers of styling tools as this is a commodity product. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company purchased hair products from four different vendors, however, two vendors accounted for approximately 88.8% of all hair products purchased.

Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

On or about September 5, 2015, the Company received a summons naming it in a civil action against Her Imports, LLC, Her Imports New York, LLC, Her Holding, Inc. and EZJR, Inc. (now Her Imports) from a former independent contractor of Her Imports, LLC. The complaint claims unpaid wages and overtime wages in violation of New York Labor Law, among other things. No specific damages are mentioned in the complaint. The Company subsequently answered the complaint and denied any wrongdoing as EZJR had no relationship with the contractor, whatsoever. At this point in the litigation it is impracticable to foresee the outcome, however, the Company believes it has meritorious defense and is vigorously defending this litigation. On February 16, 2018, a magistrate judge ruled that EZJR, Her Holding and Her Imports, LLC acted as a joint employer. The judge also found that genuine issues of material fact exist as to “whether plaintiff qualifies as an ‘employee’ under the law or was an ‘independent contractor’.” While the Company disagrees with the ruling that it was a joint employer, it has decided to proceed to trial on the basis that the plaintiff was an independent contractor, while reserving the right to appeal the decision.

 

On or about On March 13, 2018, the Company received a summons in a civil action alleging that it had violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA). In the complaint, an individual who provided his phone number to the Company to obtain certain discounts on the Company’s products, claims that the Company sent several text messages to his cell phone without prior written consent. The suit was filed by on behalf of the plaintiff and others similarly situated. On or about June 5, 2018 the Company received a second summons in a civil action also alleging that it had violated the TCPA. In the complaint, an individual who provided her phone number to the Company to obtain certain discounts on the Company’s products, claims that the Company sent several text messages to her cell phone without prior written consent. The suit was filed by on behalf of the plaintiff and others similarly situated. In both instances our review of the circumstance surrounding the claim are that the actions are not justified and as such we made the decision to intend to vigorously defend the Company against these actions. In the case of the first action we have filed a response denying the allegations. In the case of the second action we have file a motion to dismiss or consolidate this action with the first based on what is known “the-first-to-file rule.” To date there has been no ruling on this motion.

 

  13  

 

 

On January 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Business Purchase Agreement with EnzymeBioSystems, Inc. (“EnzymeBio”), a Nevada corporation, whereby the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% ownership of EnzymeBio’s wholly owned subsidiary, Share Acquisition Corp. (“SAC”), a Nevada corporation in exchange for approximately 9,167 shares of the Company’s common stock and $25,000 cash. On February 28, 2017, EnzymeBio agreed to spin-off SAC as a dividend. Pursuant to the Business Purchase Agreement and Nevada Revised Stature 92A.180 (Merger of a subsidiary into parent or parent into subsidiary) , SAC was to be acquired and merged into the Company. Restricted common shares of the Company were to be exchanged on a pro-rata one-for-one ownership basis. After the exchange took place, SAC would be collapsed into the Company and subsequently dissolved with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Company agreed to acquire SAC for the sole purpose to increase its shareholder base. As of the date of these financial statements, the $25,000 had been paid, however, the share exchange did not take place and the agreement was not consummated. The Company was subsequently informed by its legal counsel that this transaction cannot be concluded under applicable securities laws. The Company has informed EnzymeBio of this and requested that the $25,000 payment be returned. As a result, the $25,000 payment is recorded under Other Asset on the balance sheet. EnzymeBio refused to return the $25,000 and as a result on March 13, 2018 the Company filed a legal complaint against those parties which include a demand for the $25,000 as well as legal fees and specific damages the Company incurred as a result of their actions. In June 2018, the defendants responded to the complaint denying the allegation and also filed a counter claim against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer’s. Subsequently, the defendants stipulated and all charges against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer were dismissed.

 

7. Promissory Notes

 

UPS Capital

 

On November 8, 2017 the Company entered into an agreement with UPS Capital Corporation (UPS) for a $500,000 credit facility. Under the terms of the agreement UPS will loan 100% of the invoice amount on incoming offshore shipments carried by UPS. Upon funding the loan, the Company pays a transaction fee of 1.85% or 2.75% for air shipment or ocean shipment, respectively. Repayment of amounts funded are due in 60 days for air shipments and 90 days for ocean shipment. Amounts funded are secured by inventory on hand and are personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s principal controlling shareholder. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 the Company owed $384,062 and $177,390, respectively under the facility.

 

8. Stockholders’ Equity

 

On January 31, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split effective January 31, 2017. The par value was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. On April 9, 2018, the Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective April 9, 2018. All references to numbers of shares of our common stock and per-share information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect these splits.

 

As described in Note 1, on November 28, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Share Purchase & Business Agreement with Cabello to acquire the exclusive U.S. rights to the Her Imports trademark. In exchange for these rights, and other digital assets, the Company issued to Cabello 10,000,000 shares of unregistered non-voting, non-cumulative, callable preferred stock (subsequently revised to 5,000,000 shares) and 1,250,000 unregistered common stock with a combined value of $8,200,000. All shares of callable preferred stock rank superior to all the Company’s preferred stock and common stock currently outstanding and hereafter issued, as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (with the exception of a merger), including the payment of dividends. The callable preferred stock is subject to a monthly dividend payment equal to a rate of $0.144 per share of preferred stock per annum. The declaration and payment of the dividend on a monthly basis is subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Such dividend is non-cumulative should the Company not pay the dividend. The Company has a right of first refusal to purchase the callable preferred stock, should the shareholder decide to sell all or part of their callable preferred stock. The callable preferred stock has no voting rights. Through June 30, 2018, the Board of Directors has declared and approved, preferred stock dividends of $1,140,000 ($60,000 each month) to Cabello related to the 5,000,000 shares of callable, non-voting, non-cumulative preferred stock. Because the dividends on the preferred stock are non-cumulative and at the discretion of the Company, these preferred shares are considered to be equity.

 

  14  

 

 

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and 5,000,000 issued and outstanding and 70,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. At June 30 2018 and December 31, 2017 there were 8,656,459 and 4,150,039 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

 

As described in Note 1, on October 13, 2016, the Company entered into a five-year maintenance agreement on its eCommerce platform with Leader in exchange for 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $375,000 based on the fair market value of a service maintenance contract provided to other third parties which approximates the fair value of the common stock at the time it was issued. In January 2018 the Company converted to a new cloud-based eCommerce platform from its server-based eCommerce platform. As a result, the Company wrote off $265,625 of unamortized prepaid software maintenance related to the agreement.

 

As described in Note 1, on June 20, 2018 the Company issued 4,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Cabello in exchange for cancelation of the MIP Agreement and forgiveness of monies owed to Cabello for program that was run in April 2018.

The weighted average remaining contractual term and aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options as of June 30, 2018 was 4.12 years and $124,547, respectively.

 

The Company’s stock options are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model methodology. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s stock options that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for six months June 30, 2018 is as follows:

 

Strike Price   $ 1.65 to 10.68  
Volatility     46.21 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.15 %
Contractual life (in years)     5  
Dividend yield (per share)     0 %

 

10. Income Taxes

 

The tax reform bill that Congress voted to approve December 20, 2017, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, made sweeping modifications to the Internal Revenue Code, including a much lower corporate tax rate, changes to credits and deductions, and a move to a territorial system for corporations that have overseas earnings. The act replaced the prior-law graduated corporate tax rate, which taxed income over $10 million at 35%, with a flat rate of 21%.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. An approximate estimated blended tax rate of 18.3% was used to calculate the benefit for taxes based on operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 35.9% to calculate the provision for taxes based on income for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For financial reporting purposes the benefit for income taxes is based on a pre-tax loss of $509,377 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and pre-tax income of $683,891 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. In 2018, and for fourteen years thereafter, there will be a permanent book versus tax difference of $546,667 each year related to the amortization of the trademark, which is deductible for tax purposes but is not amortized and expensed for financial reporting purposes. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the following:

 

    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,     June 30,     June 30,  
    2018     2017     2018     2017  
U.S. Federal   $ 47,711     $ (10,361 )   $ 100,755     $ (225,758 )
U.S. State     (13,611 )     (5,906 )     (6,868 )     (19,898 )
Total     34,100       (16,267 )     93,887       (245,656 )
Deferred     -       -       -       -  
Total benefit (provision) for income taxes   $ 34,100     $ (16,267 )   $ 93,887     $ (245,656 )

 

  16  

 

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had a tax loss carryforward of approximately $436,968 which can be used to offset future Federal income taxes.

 

11. Subsequent Events

 

On July 3, 2018, the Board of Directors approved the monthly $60,000 dividend related to 5,000,000 shares of Callable Preferred Stock owned by Cabello Real Ltd. This dividend was offset against amounts owed to the Company by Cabello.

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

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements including our statements on liquidity, anticipated capital asset requirements and anticipated growth and plans for funding our operations. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2018 and other risks including a deterioration in general or regional economic, market and political conditions, failure to raise capital or obtain a credit facility ineffective marketing, unanticipated federal legislation or regulation that increases our cost of compliance, failure to implement our business plan and competition.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

 

The following discussion and analysis compares our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2018.

 

Business Organization and Overview

 

We are a retailer of Human Hair Extension and related haircare and beauty products headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. We sell our products at consultation studios throughout the U.S. and on our Website at www.herimports.com. Additionally, by way of our proprietary eCommerce platform and strategic leveraging of social media buys, we convert prospects into customers while developing long-term personal relationships and loyal customers. Our consultation studios are primarily leased on a short-term basis (one year or less). This allows the Company to open and close locations with a minimal amount of time and expense. At these consultation studios, the customer is provided with a personal, one-on-one consultation. Additionally, the Company has one “super-store” in Greenbelt Maryland where we have a number of consultants as well as a waiting room.

Seasonality

 

In the opinion of our management, the business areas in which we operate are subject to seasonal fluctuations during holidays and personal income tax filing season. We believe our quarterly revenues are highest in the late Winter and Spring when our customers receive income tax refunds. As such, past quarterly results are not indicative of future results and may be subject to seasonal fluctuations.

 

Results of Operations

 

Discussion of three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

Product Sales

 

Product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $3,108,412 representing a 32.8% decrease from revenues of $4,623,778 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. These sales were derived primarily from the sale of human hair extensions and related hair care products under the brands “Her Imports” or “OSIworks.” These sales were made either online or at Her Imports’ consultation studios. Consultation studio sales decreased by 52% to $1,680,888 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to $3,540,101 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The reason for the decrease is that we closed 13 under-performing studios during second half of 2017 and in the first quarter of 2018. We also experienced greater competition from various online retailers. Partially offsetting this decrease in studio sales was an increase in online sales. Online sales increased by 30.8% to $1,417,524 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $1,083,677 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Online sales as a percentage of overall sales increased to 45.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 23.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase in online sales as a percentage of overall sales continued a trend that began in the second quarter of 2017 as we moved away from retail expansion to an emphasis on online sales and a launch of a new eCommerce Website as well as sales promotions that were implemented with new marketing techniques utilizing our customer database. Additionally, at the beginning of 2018 we launched a new cloud-based eCommerce platform. Finally, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, the were $10,000 of wholesale sales. There were no wholesale sales during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The decrease in selling expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in consultation studio operating expenses including payroll, rent, travel expenses and other operating expenses due to the closing of these retail locations. There were 23 consultation studios open at some time during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 35 consultation studios open in the same period for 2017.

This increase was primarily due to non-cash compensation, Board of Directors expenses, and legal fees. These increase we partially offset by a decrease in investor relations and shareholder expenses and depreciation and amortization.

An approximate estimated blended tax rate of 22.1% was used to calculate the provision for taxes based on income for the 2018 and 35.9% for 2017. The reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate in 2018 was a change in the Federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the “Tax and Jobs Act” pass by Congress in December 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had a working capital surplus of $1,693,911 and $2,002,059 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, representing a $308,148 decrease in our working capital. As of August 13, 2018, we had $76,796 in cash.

 

Our primary use of cash is the purchase of inventory and the payment of dividends on outstanding callable non-cumulative preferred stock. We anticipate that inventory will continue to fluctuate depending on the level of sales and, as we add additional SKU’s to our product line and when close or we open new retail operations, subject to the occurrence of any material risks, trends and uncertainties stated above. We currently plan to fund our growth through earnings, however, we are currently negotiating with various financial institutions to obtain a credit facility related to the purchase of inventory. Additionally, it is likely that during the coming year, we will seek to raise additional capital either through the sale of equity to support our plan to list our common stock on a national securities exchange. We believe we have sufficient working capital to pay our expenses for the next twelve months and anticipate paying monthly dividends of $60,000 on the preferred stock until such time that we call the preferred stock.

 

A large portion of our future expenditures is to fund our growth, and we can adjust our capital and operating expenditures by operating segment, including future expansion of our product offerings. We may need or want to raise additional funds in the future, and these funds may not be available to us when we need or want them, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need or want them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In response to the SEC’s financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, the Company has selected its most subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining the methodology used in calculating the estimate, in addition to the inherent uncertainties pertaining to the estimate and the possible effects on the Company’s financial condition. These estimates involve certain assumptions that if incorrect could create a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized at the “point of sale” in the stores. Customers pay for the products using either cash, a debit card or a credit card. In the case of cash sales at the store, the store manager makes a nightly deposit of the cash. For cash sales, we recognize the sale when the deposit is recorded into our account by the bank. For credit card and debit sales, we recognize the sale when the card is charged and approved. Allowances for sales returns are recorded as a reduction of net sales in the periods in which the related sales are recognized. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and is included in accrued expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Product purchases on the Website are paid for using either debit cards, credit cards, PayPal, or an independent financing company. Revenue for Website product sales are recognized upon shipment of the product. Also included in revenue is shipping revenue from our e-commerce customers. Sales taxes collected from retail customers are excluded from reported revenues.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is also a member of our Board of Directors, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the “material weaknesses” described below:

 

In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standards) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following material weakness which has caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the quarter ending June 30, 2018. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have adequate written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

3.06. Proxies . At any meeting of the stockholders, any stockholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing. In the event that any such instrument in writing shall designate two (2) or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or, if only one shall be present, then that one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written instrument upon all the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its execution, unless coupled with an interest or unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven (7) years from the date of its execution.

If an election inspector or inspectors are not so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, or upon request of any person entitled to vote at the meeting will, make such appointment. If any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or to act, a substitute may be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. If appointed, the election inspector or inspectors (acting through a majority of them if there be more than one) shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies, the credentials of persons purporting to be stockholders or persons named or referred to in proxies, and the number of shares represented at the meeting in person and by proxy; shall receive and count votes, ballots, and consents and announce the results thereof; shall hear and determine all challenges and questions pertaining to proxies and voting; and, in general, shall perform such acts as may be proper to conduct elections and voting with complete fairness to all stockholders. No such election inspector need be a stockholder of the Company.

 

3.09. Organization and Conduct of Meetings . Each meeting of the stockholders shall be called to order and thereafter chaired by the Chairman of the Board of Directors if there is one, or, if not, or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is absent or so requests, then by the Chief Executive Officer or President, or if both the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer or President are unavailable, then by such other officer of the Company or such stockholder as may be appointed by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Secretary or in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary shall act as secretary of each meeting of the stockholders. If neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is in attendance, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person (whether a stockholder or not) to act as secretary for the meeting. After calling a meeting to order, the chairman thereof may require the registration of all stockholders intending to vote in person and the filing of all proxies with the election inspector or inspectors, if one or more have been appointed (or, if not, with the secretary of the meeting). After the announced time for such filing of proxies has ended, no further proxies or changes, substitutions, or revocations of proxies shall be accepted. If directors are to be elected, a tabulation of the proxies so filed will, if any person entitled to vote in such election so requests, be announced at the meeting (or adjournment thereof) prior to the closing of the election polls. Absent a showing of bad faith on his or her part, the chairman of a meeting will, among other things, have absolute authority to fix the period of time allowed for the registration of stockholders and the filing of proxies, to determine the order of business to be conducted at such meeting, and to establish reasonable rules for expediting the business of the meeting and preserving the orderly conduct thereof (including any informal, or question and answer portions thereof).

Ratification or validation must not be the exclusive means by which a corporate act may be ratified or validated and shall not be construed to limit the authority of the board of directors, the stockholders or the corporation to effect any lawful means of ratification or validation of a corporate act or correction of a record.

 

3.11. Informalities and Irregularities . All informalities or irregularities in any call or notice of a meeting of the stockholders or in the areas of credentials, proxies, quorums, voting, and similar matters, shall be deemed waived if no objection is made at the meeting.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a meeting of stockholders commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

 

To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person, and (iv) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of such stockholder, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice, and (v) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected and the Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than one hundred and twenty (120) days and not later than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

No business may be conducted at an annual or special meeting of stockholders except business brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.13, provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 3.13 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the chairman of an annual or special meeting determines that business was not properly brought before such meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.
