PART I


Item 1.

Business.


Overview


PayMeOn, Inc. (“Paymeon”, “PayMeOn” or “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a company organized on May 30, 2006. Paymeon conducts business through three separate wholly-owned subsidiaries: HLM Paymeon, Inc., Paymeon Brands, Inc., and since February 2017 Basalt America, LLC (formerly Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC) (“Basalt America”). On March 19, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the disposal of HLM Paymeon, Inc. and Paymeon Brands, Inc. as they made a strategic shift into the basalt fiber reinforced polymer business with the acquisition of Basalt America. The disposal of HLM Paymeon, Inc. was effective May 1, 2018. As a result of this disposal under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20-45-1E, the Company has presented the assets and liabilities of this segment as held for sale and as discontinued operations and have reclassified the prior year balances to reflect this strategic shift.


Historically, Paymeon owned and operated products aimed at monetizing consumer influence through social, local and mobile marketing.


On July 18, 2014, PayMeOn acquired a 19.4% stake in Prodeco Technologies, LLC, a USA-based researcher, developer, marketer, and manufacturer of quality electric bicycles and entered the business of selling light electric vehicles and related products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, HLM Paymeon, Inc. In September 2014, HLM Paymeon began selling ProdecoTech electric bicycles online through its website www.irideelectric.com, under a non-exclusive dealer agreement.


In October 2015, HLM Paymeon launched a retail store located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to sell ProdecoTech and other electric bicycles, as well as other alternative transportation products (such as “hoverboards”) and related products and accessories at our retail location. Effective November 18, 2016, the Company assigned all of its interests in Prodeco Technologies, LLC, held by Ebike, LLC and A Better Bike, LLC to Tavone Family Holdings, LLC in consideration of a total cash payment of $30,000 pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated November 18, 2016. The Company owned its Prodeco Technologies LLC interests through its 100% ownership of Ebike, LLC and A Better Bike, LLC. The Company sold its interests as part of its changing focus. The Company has discontinued its light electric vehicles business and is shifting its primary focus to its Basalt America business .


In March 2016, we formed Paymeon Brands, Inc to develop, market, manage and monetize lifestyle brands and products. It is our intention to acquire exclusive licensing rights to brands which we believe are expandable to additional product lines. In addition, Paymeon Brands may seek to develop or acquire its own products, which are not yet known “brands”, but that it believes are in substantial growth markets and can become “lifestyle” oriented brands.


On December 23, 2016, a third-party driver drove his car through our retail storefront located at 2599 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33305. The accident caused serious damage to the building and seriously impacted our ability to sell to and service customers. Despite being in the process of reducing our focus on our light electric vehicles business, we are still conducting sales. The damaged storefront has substantially diminished sales volumes we expected to generate during the first quarter of 2017. While there can be no assurances that we will receive a settlement, we believe the driver was insured and are pursuing a claim for compensation for lost sales.


In February 2017 we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Basalt America. Basalt America  leverages its licensed intellectual property, technology and processes to produce Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer products that are used as replacements for steel products that reinforce concrete such as rebar.  Basalt America is the exclusive licensee under a license agreement with Global Energy Sciences for its concrete reinforcement products known as RockRebar®, RockStirrups®, RockMesh®, and RockStaples™. The license provides Basalt America with exclusivity for the United States, (excluding California and Hawaii), the Caribbean (excluding Cuba), and Peru. It also provides that Basalt America shall have a right of first refusal for all other territories in the world.  Prior to the acquisition, Basalt America licensed the intellectual property from RAW Energy Materials Corp (“RAW”).  On February 2, 2017, RAW assigned the license to Global Energy Sciences, LLC (“Global Energy”), an affiliated entity to RAW.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, revenue from continuing operations for Paymeon, on a consolidated basis was $9,664 and was derived from small amounts of sales of our concrete reinforcement products. Revenue from discontinued operations was $37,909 derived from the sale of apparel.


Organization


PayMeOn holds a wholly owned interest in HLM Paymeon, Inc., and Paymeon Brands, Inc., both Florida corporations, and Basalt America, a Florida limited liability company. There is currently a limited public market for our common stock which is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “PAYM”. Our executive offices are located at 2688 NW 29 th Terrace, Building 13, Oakland Park, Florida 33311. Our telephone number is 844-422-7258. We own and operate several websites, including  www.basaltamerica.com . Information that appears on any of our websites is not part of this report.


Light Electric Vehicle Sales and Apparel Businesses

On March 19, 2018, the Company approved a plan to discontinue any and all operations related to its prior electric bicycle and apparel businesses. Operations related to the electric bicycle and apparel businesses were managed through the Company’s HLM Paymeon, Inc. subsidiary. The disposal of this business will have no effect on the Company’s continuing operations related to its Basalt America business.


Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer products

We acquired Basalt America in February 2017 to capitalize on the introduction of new technology and products towards the rebuilding of global infrastructure, especially as it applies to products that reinforce concrete. Basalt America  leverages its licensed intellectual property, technology and processes to produce Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer products that are used as replacements for steel products that reinforce concrete such as rebar.  Basalt America is the exclusive licensee under a license agreement with Global Energy for its concrete reinforcement products known as RockRebar®, RockStirrups®, RockMesh®, and RockStaples™. Basalt America’s products often represent substantial improvements in strength and resistance relative to existing “steel industry” products. Our products will be produced in Oakland Park, Florida. We intend to sell our products primarily to government and commercial construction contractors, and home builders.


Competition

The market for the manufacture and sale of construction related products is one of the largest markets in the world. Our basalt fiber concrete reinforcement products are often sold as alternatives to steel products. Accordingly, our business competes with large, established steel companies that have large and established wholesale and retail distribution networks. Most of our competitors are large and have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than our company. We also compete with other manufacturers of products often marketed as “alternatives” to steel, including manufacturers of fiberglass, and other types of fiber products. Many of these players also have substantially greater resources than our company.


While we believe that our products are unique and create a new segment within the concrete reinforcement industry, we still expect to compete with these large companies, both inside and outside of the United States, as they aggressively market their existing products, as well as any new products they may be developing that are competitive to ours.


Intellectual Property


The term social income® is a registered trademark of PayMeOn. Additionally, we have applied for registration of various trademarks related to Basalt America. We have not applied for any other U.S. trademarks and, except for common law rights, we currently do not hold any other intellectual property rights on the products we have developed. In addition to our trademarks and trademark applications, we have secured various domain names related to our business.


As part of Basalt America’s license with Global Energy Sciences, we have acquired rights to use the trademarks RockRebar®, RockStirrups®, RockMesh®, and RockStaples™.

Governmental Regulation


Our mobile and e-commerce products of the discontinued operations are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the internet, many of which are still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In the United States and abroad, laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of claims. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, subscriber privacy, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the internet or e-commerce. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on our websites or may even attempt to completely block access to our websites. Accordingly, adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. The CARD Act, as well as the laws of most states, contain provisions governing product terms and conditions of gift cards, gift certificates, stored value or pre-paid cards or coupons (“gift cards”), such as provisions prohibiting or limiting the use of expiration dates on gift cards or the amount of fees charged in connection with gift cards or requiring specific disclosures on or in connection with gift cards. PayMeOn coupon, gift card, stored value or prepaid card offers generally are included within the definition of “gift cards” in many of these laws. In addition, certain foreign jurisdictions have laws that govern disclosure and certain product terms and conditions, including restrictions on expiration dates and fees that may apply to PayMeOn offers. However, the CARD Act as well as a number of states and certain foreign jurisdictions also have exemptions from the operation of these provisions or otherwise modify the application of these provisions applicable to gift cards that are issued as part of a promotion or promotional program. If PayMeOn offers are subject to the CARD Act, and are not included in the exemption for promotional programs, it is possible that the purchase value, which is the amount equal to the price paid for the offer, or the promotional value, which is the add-on value of the offer in excess of the price paid, or both, may not expire before the later of (i) five years after the date on which the offer was issued or the date on which the customer last loaded funds on the offer if the offer has a reloadable feature; (ii) the offers stated expiration date (if any), unless offers come within an exemption in the CARD Act for promotional programs; or (iii) a later date provided by applicable state law. In addition, regardless of whether an exemption for PayMeOn offers applies under the CARD Act, in those states that prohibit or otherwise restrict expiration dates on gift cards that are defined to include offers and that do not have exemptions that apply to the purchase value or the promotional value, or both, of offers, PayMeOn offers may be required to be honored for the full offer value (the total of purchase value and promotional value) until redeemed. There can be no assurance that as PayMeOn incorporates new requirements as detailed under the CARD Act that merchants will continue to offer PayMeOn offers.


Products sold by Basalt America are subject to various approvals and certifications from various private and public entities, such as the Department of Transportation and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Such approvals and certifications are based on numerous, often changing standards and there can be no assurance that our products will receive or retain necessary approvals or certifications in the future.

The Note was amended to be a “demand” note. The Note is now due on demand from the Lender. The Lender agreed to amend the Note with no penalty and all original terms remain in place.


On March 19, 2018, the Company approved a plan to discontinue any and all operations related to its prior electric bicycle and apparel businesses. Operations related to the electric bicycle and apparel businesses were managed through the Company’s HLM Paymeon, Inc. subsidiary. The closing will have no effect on the Company’s continuing operations related to its Basalt America business. The Company, as a result of this disposition and in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-1E has reflected the assets and liabilities of this operation as held for sale and the results of the operations as discontinued operations. All prior year amounts have been reclassified to reflect this strategic shift.


On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Demand Revolving Credit Line (“Credit Line”) with EAC Management, LLC (“EAC”) (“Lender”), an entity owned by its Chairman and CEO. Under the Credit Line, the Company may borrow up to $100,000 at a simple interest rate of 5% per annum for its operating needs. There are no minimum borrowing requirements, the Company may “revolve” the credit as often as it likes, and either party may terminate the Credit Line at any time. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Line are due on demand from the Lender.

The agreement is for a period of twelve months and can be terminated by either party with written notice. The agreement contains standard representations, warranties, and indemnifications from EAC and the Company. Mr. Cespedes has no executive authority under the agreement. Compensation under the agreement is flexible. The agreement sets target compensation for EAC at $15,000 per month and allows for the Company to pay EAC less based on its financial wherewithal at any given time. The agreement also contains customary terms, including reimbursement for certain health and business-related expenses.


On April 27, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000 to RVRM Holdings, LLC. The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate of 4% and is due ninety days from the date of issuance. RVRM Holdings, LLC is controlled by one of our directors, Ronald J. LoRicco, Sr.


On May 2, 2018, the Company secured a 3-year extension of the convertible note in return for (1) a $5,000 per month payment applicable to current interest and principal beginning on April 22, 2018, and (2) the issuance of 274,575 new, restricted common shares.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.


Risk Factors


Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition. If any of the events discussed in the risk factors below occur, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the value and marketability of the common stock could decline.


Risks Related to Our Business and Industry


Our independent auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


As an early stage company, we have not yet generated significant revenues. We have incurred operating losses since our inception and will continue to incur net losses until we can produce sufficient revenues to cover our costs. Our independent auditors have included in their audit report an explanatory paragraph that states that our net loss and working capital deficiency raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


We have a limited operating history, have incurred net losses in the past and expect to incur net losses in the future.


We have a limited operating history and have not recorded a profit since inception. As a result of this, and the uncertainty of the market in which we operate, we cannot reliably forecast our future results of operations. We expect to increase our operating expenses in the future as a result of developing, refining and implementing a sales strategy. There is no guarantee we will be profitable in the future. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may not be profitable in any future period.




6



 


We have a short operating history and a new business model in an emerging and rapidly evolving market. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.


We have very little operating history for you to evaluate in assessing our future prospects. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results. In addition, we do not know if our current business model will operate effectively during the current economic downturn. Furthermore, we are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries, but the longer the duration the greater risks we face in operating our business. There can be no assurance, therefore, that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions, or a prolonged or recurring recession, will not have a significant adverse impact on our operating and financial results.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate.


Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. The following factors may affect our operating results:


·

Our ability to compete effectively.

·

Our ability to continue to attract clients.

·

The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure.

·

General economic conditions and those economic conditions specific to our industry.

·

Our ability to attract, motivate and retain top-quality employees.


Fiber Reinforced Polymer Industry Risks

We compete with large, established companies


Our Basalt America products for reinforcement of concrete compete as replacements for traditional steel industry products. The steel industry is very mature and companies are often entrenched with our potential customers. There is no guarantee that we will be able to convince customers that our products are superior to steel products.


We are dependent on RAW Energy Materials Corp, Global Energy Sciences, LLC, and Don Smith for our Intellectual Property


We license the intellectual property used in the processes to make our licensed products from Global Energy, an affiliate of RAW Energy Materials Corp (“RAW”) and Don Smith. Global Energy and RAW are substantially dependent on one individual, Don Smith. The nature of the intellectual property that we license is protected as a trade secret by Global Energy, RAW, or their affiliates. As such, we are not privy to certain formulations and processes involved in the intellectual property we license. While we believe that appropriate steps have been taken to ensure continuity in the intellectual property in the event of circumstances beyond our control that might affect Global Energy, RAW, or their affiliates, we cannot be sure they have. Any harm to Mr. Smith, or conflict between us, Global Energy, RAW or their affiliates could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Smith.


Non-compliance with our License may materially impact our ability to operate


We license the intellectual property used in the processes to make our licensed products from Global Energy an affiliate of RAW and Don Smith. We recently disclosed that we are in a dispute with Licensor regarding compliance with our license. We do not believe we are not in compliance with our license. However, any dispute with respect to our license can materially impact our business. If Licensor decides not to perform its duties under the license, we may suffer irreparable harm to the business. If we are unable to produce finished goods due to the uncertainty of our license, we may suffer irreparable harm to the business. If we are forced to litigate to enforce our rights under the license, we may suffer irreparable harm to the business.

Regulatory Risks


Our products often require certain approvals and certifications to satisfy regulatory requirements for use as concrete reinforcements and for other uses. There is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain or secure such approvals and certifications in the future. Furthermore, we will likely need to depend on third party groups such as universities, industry groups and other certifying bodies to obtain approvals and certifications. There is no guarantee that those groups will work with us, or that we will be able to access them and their services in a timely fashion. Inability to secure approvals and certifications could materially harm our ability to generate revenue.


Limited Availability of Raw Materials


We depend on RAW and its affiliates to source various raw materials for manufacture of our products from various different suppliers located in the United States and abroad. We also source some of our own raw materials. There is no guarantee that RAW’s or our suppliers will be able to provide us with sufficient supply of raw materials for us to maintain production levels necessary to satisfy customers.


Changes in the global economic environment may lead to declines in the production levels of our customers


We sell primarily to the construction industry. The construction industry is cyclical and can exhibit a great deal of sensitivity to general economic conditions. Low demand from the construction industry could adversely impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


Changes to accepted trade practices, trade agreements, or imposition of tariffs may adversely impact supply and pricing of certain raw materials


Political events, such as the imposition of tariffs or the dissolution of trade agreements may negatively impact many supply chain factors related to our business. Such events could materially impact supply and pricing of critically necessary raw materials for manufacture of our products. In extreme cases, we may not be able to source raw materials necessary for the production of our products, which could threaten our ability to continue doing business. Pricing impacts of such events could also materially affect our profit margins and our ability to compete with alternative products in the industry.


We may be adversely impacted by volatility in prices for raw materials

Depending on our customer demand, we may be faced with having to purchase raw materials at prices that are above the then current market price or in greater volumes than required. Additionally, other factors may force the prices our customers pay for composite materials down, which could negatively affect our profit margins.


General Business Risks


We need additional capital to fund our operations, which, if obtained, could result in substantial dilution or significant debt service obligations. We may not be able to obtain additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.


We will require additional capital to fund the anticipated expansion of our business and to pursue targeted revenue opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital. If we are able to raise additional capital, we do not know what the terms of any such capital raising would be. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure to raise additional funds on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop the infrastructure necessary to achieve the potential sales growth.


Achieving revenue growth will require that we develop additional infrastructure in sales, technical and client support functions. We cannot assure you that we can develop this infrastructure or will have the capital to do so. We will continue to design plans to establish growth, adding sales and sales support resources as capital permits, but at this time these plans are untested. If we are unable to use any of our current marketing initiatives or the cost of such initiatives were to significantly increase or such initiatives or its efforts to satisfy existing clients are not successful, we may not be able to attract new clients or retain existing clients on a cost-effective basis and, as a result, our revenue and results of operations would be affected adversely.


If we fail to manage our anticipated growth, our business and operating results could be harmed.


If we do not effectively manage our anticipated growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and operating results. To effectively manage our potential growth, we will need to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements may require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If the improvements are not implemented successfully, our ability to manage our growth will be impaired and we may have to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues, which could harm our financial position.


Our relationships with our channel partners may be terminated or may not continue to be beneficial in generating new clients, which could adversely affect our ability to increase our client base.


We maintain a network of active channel partners which refer clients to us within different business verticals. If we are unable to maintain contractual relationships with existing channel partners or establish new contractual relationships with potential channel partners, we may experience delays and increased costs in adding clients, which could have a material adverse effect on us. The number of clients we are able to add through these marketing relationships is dependent on the marketing efforts of our partners over which we exercise very little control.


Competition for employees in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees whom we need to support our business.


Competition for highly skilled technical and marketing personnel is intense and we continue to face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel in certain areas of our business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with existing compensation structure. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In particular, candidates making employment decisions, particularly in high-technology industries, often consider the value of any equity they may receive in connection with their employment. As a result, any significant volatility in the price of our stock may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled technical and marketing personnel.


In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our clients could diminish, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.


Excluding our U.S. trademark protection for “social income”, we have not filed with any regulatory authority for patent or trademark protection. We intend to protect our unpatented trade secrets and know-how through confidentiality or license agreements with third parties, employees and consultants, and by controlling access to and distribution of our proprietary information. However, this method may not afford complete protection particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States and unauthorized parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, processes or technology and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar know-how and trade secrets. If third parties take actions that affect our rights or the value of our intellectual property, similar proprietary rights or reputation or we are unable to protect our intellectual property from infringement or misappropriation, other companies may be able to use our proprietary know-how to offer competitive products at lower prices and we may not be able to effectively compete against these companies.


We may in the future be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are costly to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future.


Companies in the internet, technology and media industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we face increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us grows. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention.


With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to pay damages or stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. We may have to seek a license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms and may significantly increase our operating expenses. We have not fully reviewed and assessed the potential intellectual claims centered on our latest asset purchases, mergers, or acquisitions to evaluate any technology licenses required. The technology also may not be available for license to us at all. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop technology for the infringing aspects of our business, we may be forced to limit our product and service offerings and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results could harm our brand and operating results.


Our independent directors have limited experience in the management of public companies which poses a risk for us from a corporate governance perspective.


Our directors and executive officer are inexperienced with respect to corporate governance of public companies. The board is often required to make interested party decisions, such as the approval of related party transactions, compensation levels, and oversight of our accounting function. Our directors and executive officer also exercise substantial control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the nomination of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. We do not have a majority of independent directors and we have not implemented various corporate governance measures, the absence of which may cause stockholders to have more limited protections against transactions implemented by our board of directors, conflicts of interest and similar matters. Stockholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.


Failure to retain and attract qualified personnel could harm our business.


Our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to hire sufficient personnel to support the anticipated growth of our business. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business will suffer. Additionally, companies whose Employees accept positions with competitors often claim that such competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices. We may receive such claims in the future as we seek to hire qualified Employees. We could incur substantial costs in defending against any such claims.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock


Because the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid for them.


Our common stock trades on the OTC Markets which is not a liquid market. There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may continue to decline.


Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.


The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the Bulletin Board has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and therefore we are currently considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities.


Due to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile.


Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock:

·

Our failure to increase revenue in each succeeding quarter;

·

Our failure to achieve and maintain profitability;

·

Our failure to meet our revenue and earnings guidance;

·

The loss of distribution relationships

·

The sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders;

·

Our announcement of a pending or completed acquisition or our failure to complete a proposed acquisition;

·

Adverse court ruling or regulatory action;

·

Our failure to meet financial analysts  performance expectations;

·

Changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;

·

Changes in market valuations of similar companies;

·

Short selling activities;

·

Our announcement of a change in the direction of our business;

·

Our inability to manage our international operations;

·

Actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or in our forecasted results of operations; or

·

Announcements by us, or our competitors, of significant contracts, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments.


In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.


Because we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms, it could have a material impact upon the price of our common stock.


It is not likely that securities analysts of major brokerage firms will provide research coverage for our common stock since the firm itself cannot recommend the purchase of our common stock under the penny stock rules referenced in an earlier risk factor. The absence of such coverage limits the likelihood that an active market will develop for our common stock. It may also make it more difficult for us to attract new investors at times when we acquire additional capital.

The conversion of outstanding secured and unsecured convertible promissory notes will result in dilution to existing stockholders and could negatively affect the market price of our common stock.


At December 31, 2017, we had outstanding 7% secured and unsecured promissory notes convertible at the option of the holder in the aggregate principal amount of $590,273 convertible at prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.35 per share. If all the outstanding notes are converted, our issued and outstanding shares would increase. In the event that a market for our common stock develops, to the extent that holders of our notes convert such securities, our existing shareholders will experience dilution to their ownership interest in our company. In addition, to the extent that holders of convertible securities convert such securities and then sell the underlying shares of common stock in the open market, our common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. The secured notes are secured by all of the Company’s assets.


Our principal shareholders and their affiliates beneficially own and control approximately 42% of our outstanding common stock and as majority shareholders are able to control voting issues and actions that may not be beneficial or desired by minority shareholders.


As of December 31, 2017, our principal shareholders beneficially own approximately 42% of the issued and outstanding common stock and as such could elect all directors, and dissolve, merge or sell our assets or otherwise direct our affairs. Our principal shareholders also own secured and unsecured promissory notes that are convertible at their option into a material number of shares of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control; impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company, which, in turn, could depress the market price of our common stock.


Certain accredited investors control large blocks of restricted common stock. Sale of large blocks of common stock could materially impact our stock price.


Historically, we have raised funds from accredited investors through the sale of restricted common stock in the Company. Generally, common stock sold privately to accredited investors has certain resale restrictions under the securities laws that include elements of minimum holding periods, certain other requirements with respect to financial filings of the Company and other requirements. When these requirements are met, holders of the restricted common stock are able to remove resale restrictions and sell freely in the open market. As our common stock has a limited market for resale, substantial additional supply of stock caused by previously restricted stock coming into the market for resale could have a material, negative impact on our stock price.


The issuance of preferred stock could change control of the company.


Our articles of incorporation authorize the Board of Directors, without approval of the shareholders, to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series, with the numbers of shares of each series to be determined by the Board of Directors. Our articles of incorporation further authorize the Board of Directors to fix and determine the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (including, without limitation, voting powers, preferential rights to receive dividends or assets upon liquidation, rights of conversion or exchange into common stock or preferred stock of any series, redemption provisions and sinking fund provisions) between series and between the preferred stock or any series thereof and the common stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights. In the event of issuance, preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. Although we have no present plans to issue additional series or shares of preferred stock, we can give no assurance that we will not do so in the future.


Our inability to remain current on our required securities filings may impact liquidity for certain shareholders and our ability to raise funds


We rely on third parties to assist us with the preparation of our public filings. Our internal resources may not be sufficient to assist third parties with providing information they need with sufficient efficiency to complete our filings on time. Failure to remain current on certain public filings may limit the ability of certain shareholders to avail themselves of certain safe harbors when attempting to sell certain of our shares. In addition, our inability to present current financial information may impact our ability to raise additional funds.

Item 2.

Properties.


Our principal offices are leased and located at 2688 NW 29 th Terrace, Building 13, Oakland Park, FL 33311. The lease is for approximately 12,921 square feet. The lease is for six separate six-month terms. The Company has the right to terminate the lease at the end of each term by providing the landlord with 60-days’ notice prior to the end of any of the six-month terms. Lease payments are approximately $11,520 per month during the first two terms of the lease and rise to approximately $12,450 per month during the last two terms of the lease. We believe the facilities are sufficient to support our current operations.


Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.


On March 31, 2014, the Company received a “Notice of Default” letter from legal counsel representing the California State Teachers Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) (the landlord for the Company’s office space) alerting that the Company was in default of its lease for failure to pay monthly rent for the office space located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. The letter demanded immediate payment of $41,937 for rent past due rent due as of April 1, 2014. The landlord currently holds security deposits from the Company in the amount of $31,407. The Company had indicated in writing its intention to cooperate with the landlord while trying to resolve the matter. On February 11, 2015, the landlord, through its attorneys, filed a motion for summary judgment. The motion asked for $376,424 in unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and $12,442 in attorney’s costs incurred by the landlord and the Company has reserved the entire amount. On April 22, 2015 the motion for unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and attorney’s costs was granted by the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County. As previously disclosed, the Company has accrued the full amount of rent and attorney costs in its audited financial statements. The Company intends to continue its efforts to work with the landlord to reach a mutually agreeable solution and is currently attempting to raise additional capital to address the default, as well its other outstanding obligations and working capital requirements.


On April 18, 2018, Basalt America and the Company received a letter from counsel representing RAW LLC providing formal notice that Basalt America and the Company had breached and/or violated several sections of its license agreement and amendments, and that RAW LLC was immediately terminating all agreements and amendments. The Company does not believe it is in breach of its agreements and is working towards reaching an amicable solution. The Company is prepared to pursue litigation if it cannot achieve a resolution.


To our knowledge we are not currently subject to any other legal proceedings.

There is a limited public market for the shares of our common stock. Our stock has been thinly traded. There can be no assurance that a liquid market for our common stock will ever develop. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or blue-sky laws of various states and foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol PAYM. The range of closing prices for our common stock, as reported on the OTC Markets during each quarter since March 31, 2016, was as reported below.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.


You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing in this report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” in this registration statement for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.


Overview


Since inception, we have incurred net operating losses. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of our products, which included the general and administrative expenses, associated with its organization and product development. We expect operating losses to continue, mainly due to the anticipated expenses associated with the marketing of all our products and development of Basalt America.


Results of Operations


Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017, totaled $9,664 and were derived from sales of small amounts of sales of our concrete reinforcement products.

Discontinued operations - revenue


Revenue of $37,909 of apparel sales from our now discontinued business, Paymeon Brands, and from limited. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $394,219 were primarily derived from the sale of electric bicycles made by Prodeco Technologies. The $356,310 decrease represents a decrease of 90% over the same periods in 2016 and reflects our shift towards the startup of our Basalt America business.


Operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2017, totaled $2,355,360, reflecting a decrease of $437,538 or 23% from $1,917,822, for the year ended December 31, 2016.


The net decrease in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 over the year ended December 31, 2016 were primarily due to the increased general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $282,299 offset by lower consulting expenses of $126,859 primarily due to a lower issuance of common stock for services, increased travel and entertainment expenses, increased professional fees of $133,540, and increased payroll and payroll taxes of $148,558 due to additional staff associated with Basalt America, including the hire of additional machine operators.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2017, we had $188,738 of cash compared to $88,338 at December 31, 2016. The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,919,925 at December 31, 2017 compared to $2,754,729 at December 31, 2016. We require additional working capital to expand our operations of Basalt America to try to achieve profitability. See “Plan of Operations” below.


Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,225,303. The Company has also dedicated substantial resources required to research and development and marketing of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development. We expect operating losses to continue, due to the anticipated costs to develop our Basalt America business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We require financing for our plan of operations.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company used cash in operations in the amount of $2,298,425 and $377,502, respectively. The principal elements of cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 included a loss of $2,935,112, an increase in inventory of $377,184, a decrease in accrued expenses of $500,000 offset by a loss on leasehold of $221,328, stock-based compensation of $815,790 and an increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $321,219. The principal elements of cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 were a net loss of $3,697,453 offset by amortization of debt discount $200,716, loss on extinguishment of debt $1,078,232, warrants and options issued for services of $1,138,842, common stock issued for services of $407,680 and an increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $268,197.



Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $1,516,881 compared to $2,160 in the prior year. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased equipment in the amount of $456,881 and paid deposits on machinery and equipment in the amount of $1,060,000 compared to $2,160 for the purchase of equipment in the prior year.


Cash provided by our financing activities was $3,915,706 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $417,757 during the comparable period in 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company has been very dependent on generating operating capital through the issuance of debt and sale of common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received $3,175,680 from the issuance of common stock for cash compared to $293,000 for the same period in the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company raised $502,500 through the sales of interest in the joint venture in Basalt Territory #1 as well as the issuance of notes in the amount of $245,000 of which $215,000 was to related parties. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued convertible notes payable of $63,975 as well as received proceeds from a related party of $33,397 and purchase order financing, net of repayments, in the amount of $27,385.




20



 


During the year ended December 31, 2017 our working capital position improved over the prior year based on the Company’s ability to sell common stock. The current assets of the Company increased by $500,986 with cash increasing by $100,400 and inventory increasing by $380,265. Our liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $338,818 which was mainly due to the decrease of convertible notes through the conversion to common stock.

 

Current working capital is not sufficient to maintain our current operations and there is no assurance that future sales and marketing efforts will be successful enough to achieve the level of revenue sufficient to provide cash to sustain operations. To the extent such revenues and corresponding cash flows do not materialize, we will attempt to fund working capital requirements through third party financing, including a private placement of our securities. In the absence of revenues, we currently believe we require a minimum of $3,000,000 to maintain our current operations through the next 12 months. We cannot provide any assurances that required capital will be obtained or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities until sufficient funding is secured or revenues are generated to support operating activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Revenue Recognition


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method.

 

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is required to identify an approved contract with commitments to preform respective obligations, identify rights of each party in the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the payment terms for the goods transferred, verify that the contract has commercial substance and verify that collection of substantially all consideration is probable. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows as it relates to revenue for Basalt America.


Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales.


Discontinued Operations


The Company recognized revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605,  Revenue Recognition , as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment was recorded as deferred revenue. Sales were made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC No. 718,  Compensation – Stock Compensation . Under FASB ASC No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.




21



 


Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC No. 505,  Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees . In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB ASC.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,  Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,  Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. We have adopted the new revenue standards effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU had no material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.


All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial (and principal accounting) Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria established in 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to proper segregation of duties; timely filing of our annual and quarterly reporting to the SEC and related to information technology controls related to our inventory system.


To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework. To mitigate the inventory and point of sales controls the Company intends to develop and implement effective monitoring controls and assign additional employees to oversee such transactions.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures


Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


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

Directors


Our Board of Directors consists of four members. The terms of directors expire at the next annual shareholders’ meeting unless their terms are staggered as permitted in our Bylaws. Each shareholder is entitled to vote the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Shareholders do not have a right to cumulate their votes for directors.


Committees of the Board of Directors


We have not established any committees including an Audit Committee a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. We are an early stage company and have been unable to attract qualified independent directors to serve on our board. Our board of directors consists of only four members and has not delegated any of its functions to committees. The entire board of directors acts as our audit committee as permitted under Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. Our board of directors reviews the professional services provided by our independent auditors, the independence of our auditors from our management, our annual financial statements and our system of internal accounting controls. Further, as we are currently quoted on the OTC Markets, we are not subject to any exchange rule which includes qualitative requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees. We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given the nature of our operations, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and the other equity securities. Officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, we believe that all filing requirements were complied with during 2017.

·

Our principal executive officer or other individual serving in a similar capacity;

Our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2017 as that term is defined under Rule 3b-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

·

Up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer at December 31, 2017.


For definitional purposes, these individuals are sometimes referred to as the “named executive officers”.

Employment Agreements

We had also entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Cespedes. Due to the Company’s financial situation, on July 18, 2014, Mr. Cespedes forgave approximately $326,727 of accrued payroll and amended his employment agreement to reduce his base salary by 30% and eliminated his guaranteed bonus of $50,000 per year.

How Compensation for our Directors and Executive Officers was Determined


During 2017, our non-executive directors received stock and stock option awards commensurate with what we believe is commensurate with the pay of directors of publicly traded entities similar to ours. One of our directors received a cash payment of $10,000 upon joining the board. Our chairman, Vincent L. Celentano, received $30,900 over the course of 2017 for fees related to project work done for the Company. Edward Cespedes, our chief executive officer during 2017 and until April 13, 2018, was compensated as per his employment agreement entered into on August 15, 2011 and amended on July 18, 2014. Mr. Cespedes resigned on April 13, 2018.


2017 Option Grants to Executive Officers


None.


Outstanding Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-End


None.


Equity Compensation Plan Information


None. We have not issued any options, warrants or other equity or non-equity-based incentives nor has any equity award/compensation has been awarded to, earned by, or paid to any of our executive officers, directors or key employees; therefore, we have omitted an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table as permitted under Regulation S-K. Further, as a “smaller reporting company” we are providing the scaled disclosures as permitted by Regulation S-K and therefore, have omitted a Grants of Plan Based Award Table, Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table, Pension Benefits Table and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.


Item 12.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.


The following table shows the number of shares and percentage of all shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 25, 2018, held by any person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock, by each executive officer and director, and by all directors and executive officers as a group. The persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Unless otherwise noted below, each beneficial owner has sole power to vote and dispose of the shares and the address of such person is c/o our corporate offices at 2688 NW 29 TH Terrace, Building 13, Oakland Park, Florida 33311. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, a person has beneficial ownership of any securities as to which such person, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, undertaking, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power and/or investment power or as to which such person has the right to acquire such voting and/or investment power within 60 days.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.


Except as disclosed below, we are currently not a part to any related party transaction, including transaction in which:


·

The amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser or $120,000 or 1% of the average of our Company s total assets at year-end for the last two fiscal years; and

·

A director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of our common stock or any member of his or her immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.


As of December 31, 2016, the Company had issued and outstanding a series of unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $535,048 to Vincent Celentano and William Celentano and their affiliated entities. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and were payable on or before twelve months from the date of issuance (all of which were extended as noted herein). Subject to certain limitations below, the notes may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price ranging from $0.10 to $0.345 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion of the notes may be limited if, upon conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock. The Company used the proceeds for working capital purposes. William Celentano is the brother of Vincent Celentano. Each person disclaims beneficial interest in the securities held by the other. During the year ended December 31, 2017 Vincent and William Celentano and their affiliated entities converted $368,336 of notes and accrued interest into 2,248,620 shares of common stock.


On March 19, 2018, the Company amended the Note with CAM Group of Florida, Inc. CAM Group of Florida, Inc. is controlled by one of our directors, Frank Monti, Sr. The Note is for the amount of $200,000 and was originally issued on August 9, 2017 and was then extended to February 28, 2018. The Note was amended to be a “demand” note. The Note is now due on demand from the Lender. The Lender agreed to amend the Note with no penalty and all original terms remain in place.


On March 28, 2018, the Company borrowed $50,000 (out of the total availability of $100,000) under the Demand Revolving Credit Line from EAC. The Demand Revolving Credit Line bears interest at an annual rate of 5%. EAC is controlled by our former chairman and chief executive officer. The amount borrowed is due on demand. EAC issued a demand for repayment on April 13, 2018 which has not been paid through the date of this filing.


The Company maintains two corporate credit cards that are secured by our former chairman and chief executive officer. As of June 21, 2018, one corporate credit card was paid in full and closed. Also, as of June 21, 2018, the remaining corporate credit card has an outstanding balance of approximately $49,286.


On April 27, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000 to RVRM Holdings, LLC. The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate of 4% and is due ninety days from the date of issuance. RVRM Holdings, LLC is controlled by one of our directors, Ronald J. LoRicco, Sr.


Currently, we have no formal procedures in effect for reviewing and pre-approving any transactions between us, our directors, officers and other affiliates. We will use our best efforts to ensure that all transactions are on terms at least as favorable to the Company as we would negotiate with unrelated third parties.

Item 14.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services.


Currently, our Board reviews and approves audit and permissible non-audit services performed by its independent registered public accounting firms of KBL, LLP and Liggett & Webb P.A.

In its review of non-audit service and its appointments of KBL, LLP and Liggett & Webb P.A., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms for the respective years, the Board considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining independence. All of the services provided, and fees charged by KBL, LLP and Liggett & Webb P.A. were approved by the Board, acting as our Audit Committee. The following table shows the fees for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of PayMeOn, Inc. and Subsidiaries


Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PayMeOn, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016, and for the year ended were audited by other auditors, who issued an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements with a going concern uncertainty, with a report date of April 26, 2017. As discussed in Note 4, these consolidated financial statements have been restated to retroactively reflect the acquisition of Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC. In our opinion such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2016 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2016 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.


Basis for Opinion


These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


Going Concern Consideration


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained significant operating losses and needs to obtain additional financing to continue the services they provide. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors of:

PayMeOn, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PayMeOn, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of PayMeOn, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $3,697,453, a working capital deficiency of $2,320,139, used cash in operations of $455,499 and an accumulated deficit of $11,764,087 at December 31, 2016. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the adjustments to retrospectively apply the change in accounting described in Note 4 for the acquisition of Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by KBL, LLP and are included in their audit report dated July 16, 2018.

PAYMEON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

 

(A) Organization

 

On March 16, 2011 PayMeOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation organized on May 30, 2006 (the "Company" or “PayMeOn”) completed its agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Hyperlocal Marketing, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Hyperlocal"), pursuant to which Hyperlocal merged with and into HLM PayMeOn, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Hyperlocal members received 301,296 shares of the Company common stock, which equals approximately 50.1% of the total shares of the Company issued and outstanding following the merger on a fully diluted basis. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-45-15, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Hyperlocal is considered the accounting acquirer and the acquire is the Company since the members of Hyperlocal obtained voting and management control of the Company and the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization.

 

Hyperlocal was originally organized in the State of Florida on January 22, 2010. The Company has focused its efforts on organizational activities, raising capital, software development and evaluating operational opportunities.

 

In 2014, the Company began selling Prodeco Technologies, LLC brand electric bicycles, an affiliate entity, of which the Company acquired a 19.4% equity interest. During 2015, the Company expanded its sales of electric bicycles to include sales of electric bicycles and related products made by other manufacturers in a retail store location in Fort Lauderdale.


During the first quarter of 2016, the Company formed a new subsidiary, PayMeOn Brands, Inc., to pursue the business of developing, marketing, managing and monetizing lifestyle brands and products. The Company intended to develop and leverage its relationships and expertise with respect to manufacturing processes, wholesale and retail distribution networks, and social influencer promotion, primarily targeting youth oriented "lifestyle" markets to create and grow new and existing brands across several market segments.


On October 16, 2016, the Company formed a new, wholly-owned company called Xtreme Fat Tire Bike Holdings, LLC (“Xtreme”). The Company was formed to pursue potential development of the “fat tire” segment of the electric bikes market. To date, Xtreme has had no material operations.


On February 21, 2017, the Company executed a membership interest purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC d/b/a Basalt America (“Basalt America”). Basalt America  leverages its licensed intellectual property, technology and processes to produce Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer products that are used as replacements for steel products that reinforce concrete such as rebar.  In consideration of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Basalt America, the Company issued an aggregate of 95,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the members of Basalt America. For accounting purposes, the transaction is recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASC 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the Board of Directors of the Company and of Basalt America are the same and control the activities of the respective companies.


During the second quarter of 2017, the Company entered into a term sheet for a Joint Venture (“Joint Venture”) with accredited investors for the management of Basalt America Territory 1, LLC, which will have the exclusive rights to manage sales for Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties in the State of Florida. In conjunction with entering into the Joint Venture, the investors provided total proceeds of $502,500 which was used as a deposit to purchase future inventory from May to August 2017. Operations commenced during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company owns 55.3% of the Joint Venture and the investors own 44.7% of the joint venture.


During the second quarter of 2017, the Company entered into a term sheet for a Joint Venture with an accredited investor for the management of Basalt America Territory 2, LLC, which was to have the exclusive rights to manage sales for Rhode Island. The Joint Venture expected to commence operations during the 4 th  quarter, 2017. As of the date of this report, the Joint Venture has not been formalized (no definitive documentation, nor operating agreement have been executed) and has not commenced operations. If and when the Joint Venture is formalized, it is expected that the Company will own 50% of the Joint Venture.

PAYMEON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

 

(A) Organization (Continued)


On March 19, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the disposal of HLM Paymeon, Inc. and Paymeon Brands, Inc. as they made a strategic shift into the basalt fiber reinforced polymer business with the acquisition of Basalt America. The disposal of HLM Paymeon, Inc. was effective May 1, 2018. As a result of this disposal under ASC 205-20-45-1E, the Company has presented the assets and liabilities of this segment as held for sale and as discontinued operations and have reclassified the prior year balances to reflect this strategic shift.


PayMeOn and its wholly owned subsidiaries are herein referred to as the "Company".


(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PayMeOn, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, PayMeOn Brands, Inc, HLM PayMeOn, Inc. Xtreme Fat Tire Bike Holdings. LLC, Basalt America, and Basalt America Territory 1, LLC, a majority owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

(C) Going Concern

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $15,225,303, a working capital deficiency of $1,919,925 and cash used in operations of $2,298,425 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for product development and marketing of the Company's products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development.


The acquisition of Basalt America and commencement of production related to the products we will produce will require substantial additional investment in plant and equipment. In addition, we will have to invest substantial sums in the creation of a sales and marketing program designed to introduce our products to the industry.


These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(A) Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017.


(B) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the useful lives of depreciable assets, valuation of inventory allowances, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock-based compensation and any beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


(C) Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.


Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet date.


(D) Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company has no accounts receivable and therefore the Company has not recorded an allowance for bad debts.


(E)  Inventories


The Company’s inventories consist entirely of purchased finished goods. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company has not recorded an allowance for the valuation of the inventory or inventory obsolescence.


(F) Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets consist of machinery, computer equipment, leasehold improvements and website costs which are capitalized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three or seven years for all categories. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of fixed assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or loss being recorded in operations.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 350-50-15, "Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years. These assets are fully depreciated as of December 31, 2017.

During the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company identified leasehold improvements that were impaired in the amount of $300,000. The Company recognized a loss on the impairment of $221,328, reflected in the loss from discontinued operations. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $18,638, and $65,131, respectively.


On October 22, 2015, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 to PDQ Auctions, LLC for leasehold improvements of the facilities subleased from PDQ Auctions, LLC. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 7% and was originally payable on or before October 22, 2017 (subsequently extended until May 2021, see below), unless the note was converted or prepaid prior to the maturity date. Subject to certain limitations below, the note may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment. In the event the Company issues any new or additional promissory notes that pay an interest rate that exceeds 7% per annum, then the holder shall be entitled to request an increase in the interest rate payable on the note to an amount equal to the rate being paid on the new or additional notes (which occurred on September 22, 2017, see below). The conversion of the note may be limited if, upon conversion, the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock. The note may be prepaid at the option of the Company commencing 190 days after the issuance of the note. On September 22, 2017, the Company issued a total of 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $72,000 ($0.38 per share) in conjunction with an extension of the note to April 22, 2018. The interest rate on the Note was also increased to 10% per annum. The modifications to the debt was reflected as a material modification in the Company’s quarter ended September 30, 2017. On May 2, 2018, the Company secured a three-year extension of the convertible note in return for (1) a $5,000 per month payment applicable to current interest and principal beginning on April 22, 2018, and (2) the issuance of 274,575 new, restricted common shares. The shares were issued on June 13, 2018. As of June 15, 2018, the Company has not yet commenced making the $5,000 per month payments required by the extension. The modifications to this debt instrument will be reflected as a material modification in the Company’s quarter ending June 30, 2018.


(G) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company determined that no impairment was necessary.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)  


(H) Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method.

 

Under ASC 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is required to identify an approved contract with commitments to preform respective obligations, identify rights of each party in the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the payment terms for the goods transferred, verify that the contract has commercial substance and verify that collection of substantially all consideration is probable. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows as it relates to revenue for Basalt America.


Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales.


Discontinued Operations


The Company recognized revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured in accordance with FASB ASC 605,  Revenue Recognition , as amended and interpreted. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment was recorded as deferred revenue. Sales were made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements.


(I) Loss Per Share

 

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

(J) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


(J) Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)


Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.


(K) Cost of Sales

 

Components of cost of sales include product costs and shipping costs to customers.


(L) Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs to customers as cost of revenue.


(M) Reclassification

 

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


(N) Segment Information


In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “ Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company prior to March 19, 2018 when they decided to dispose of the electric bicycles and apparel lifestyle brands segment to focus entirely on the concrete reinforcement products made from basalt fiber, which was formally disposed on May 1, 2018, had three segments in 2017 and two segments in 2016. As a result of this strategic shift and in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-1E has reclassified two of these segments as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. Therefore, the Company only operates in one segment and has not presented segment reporting for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.


(O) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740-10-25 ("ASC 740-10-25"). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


On December 22, 2017, Public Law 115-97, informally referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the TCJA”) was enacted into law. The TCJA provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that impact corporate taxation requirements. Effective January 1, 2018, the federal tax rate for corporations was reduced from 35% to 21% for US taxable income and requires one-time re-measurement of deferred taxes to reflect their value at a lower tax rate of 21%. Also, mandatory repatriation of untaxed foreign earnings and profits will be taxed at 15.5% to the extent the underlying assets are liquid and 8% on the remaining balance. There are other provisions to the TCJA, such as conversion of a worldwide system to a territorial system, limitations on interest expense and domestic production deductions, which will be effective in fiscal 2019. The Company anticipates its effective tax rate to be 28% to 30%, excluding the one-time impact of the TCJA for fiscal 2018 primarily due to the reduction in the federal tax rate. The Company’s actual effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 may differ from management’s estimate due to changes in interpretations and assumptions. Due to the timing of enactment and complexity of the TCJA, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonable range of the one-time impact associated with mandatory repatriation, re-measurement of deferred taxes and other provisions of the TCJA.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $8,200,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2037. This results in deferred tax assets of approximately $2,500,000 as of December 31, 2017, offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2017 which was approximately $2,500,000. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2017 was an increase of approximately $540,000. Tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.


As a result of the Hyperlocal acquisition in 2011 and Basalt America in 2017 and the corresponding change in ownership, the Company’s NOL’s are subject to a Section 382 limitation.


(P) Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements


Accounting guidance on non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements requires that a non-controlling interest in the equity of a subsidiary be accounted for and reported as equity, provides revised guidance on the treatment of net income and losses attributable to the non-controlling interest and changes in ownership interests in a subsidiary and requires additional disclosures that identify and distinguish between the interests of the controlling and non-controlling owners. Net income attributable to the non-controlling interests totaling $25 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,  “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),”  which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04  Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  The amendments in this update are required for public business entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The update is intended to simplify the annual or interim goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a U.S. SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this update for its annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01  Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business.  The amendments in this update are required for public business entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The update is intended to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted under certain conditions. The Company believes that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” . The amendments in this update provided guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This update is to provide specific guidance on each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.


In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period and is applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

 

There are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or operating results

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF BASALT AMERICA

 

On February 21, 2017, the Company executed a membership interest purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Basalt America. In consideration of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Basalt America, the Company issued an aggregate of 95,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the members of Basalt America. As of December 31, 2016, Basalt America had 80,500,000 membership units outstanding. For accounting purposes, the transaction is recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASU 805-50-25-2 as this is considered an acquisition of entities under common control as the board of directors of the Company and of Basalt America are the same and control the activities of the respective companies.

 

As the acquisition of Basalt America was deemed to be a transaction between entities under common control, the assets and liabilities were transferred at the historical cost of Basalt America with prior periods retroactively adjusted to include the historical financial results of the acquired company for the period ended December 31, 2016 that were controlled by the previous owners of the Company. 


The Company recorded the acquisition of Basalt America as following:


The Company consolidated the total assets and liabilities of Basalt America. Since the consolidation was done retrospectively, the Company adjusted the beginning balance of the following accounts to include balances as if the transaction occurred on November 18, 2016 (Inception). Set forth below is the PayMeOn balance sheet as previously filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the net effect of the acquisition and the net effect at December 31, 2016, after the acquisition.

Royalty


On October 7, 2016, legal representatives of Remrylie Licensing, Inc. demanded one of the Company’s retail customers to cease and desist from selling items related to Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace's image on PayMeOn Brands’ behalf. Remrylie, owner of the exclusive right to market Notorious BIG's image, claimed that PayMeOn Brands did not have the right to sell certain items it was selling through its retail customer. While we believe that the claims were without merit, we decided to cooperate and allow our retail customer to remove the items in question. On November 29, 2016 the Company and Remrylie Licensing, Inc., agreed to settle their dispute over royalty payments for sales of merchandise related to the estate of Notorious BIG. The Company paid $7,000 and the Parties mutually agreed to end the dispute and mutually indemnify each other.

Taxation as S Corporation .  

(a)

Subchapter “S” Status . The Members agree that the Company shall be an “S” corporation within the meaning of the Code.  No Member shall take any action or fail to take any action which he or it knows or should know will result in the termination of the Company’s Subchapter “S” election (the “Election”); and, if any such act or failure to act shall occur, such Member shall immediately take such steps that may be required to prevent the termination of the Election.  In the event that the Company’s Election is terminated because of any Member’s act or failure to act which he or it knew or should have known would result in such termination, such Member shall indemnify the other Members for any loss or liability incurred on account of such termination, including, without limitation, any federal and state income taxes directly attributable to such termination.

(b)

Distributions .  Subject to any limitation on distributions imposed by applicable law, the Company and the Members agree as follows:

(i)

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Company shall make pro-rata distributions of cash, to the Members based on ownership of and Class of shares in the Company, to pay federal and state income taxes on the income (net of any tax benefits



6



 


produced for the Members by the Company, losses, deductions and credits) that passes from the Company under the applicable provisions of the Code.

(ii)

The total amount required to be distributed shall be determined by conclusively presuming that all taxable income which passes through to each Member will be taxed at the maximum marginal federal rate (without regard to exemptions or phase out of lower tax rates) and the maximum marginal state rate which may be applicable to any Member at which income of any individual can be taxed in the calendar year that includes the last day of the Company’s taxable year.  

(iii)

The Company shall make the distributions required in subsection 4.6(b)(i) above in a timely manner to allow the tax (including, without limitation, estimated tax payments) attributable to the income passed through the Company to any Member to be paid when due

(iv)

 No provision in this subsection 4.6 shall cause the total dividend paid with respect to any outstanding Unit to differ from any amounts paid with respect to any other outstanding Unit.

(v)

No provision of this subsection 4.6 shall be construed to limit the ability of the Company to declare and pay additional dividends to the Member out of the assets of the Company legally available for such payment at such time or times as the Managing Member(s) of the Company may determine.

(c)

Waiver of Termination of Subchapter “S” Status .  If the Company’s status as an “S” corporation under the Code is terminated inadvertently and the Company wishes to obtain a ruling under Section 1362(f) of the Code to reinstate the Company’s Subchapter “S” election, each Member agrees to make any adjustments required pursuant to Section 1362(f)(4) of the Code and approved by the Company’s Managing Member(s). Each Member’s obligation to make such adjustments shall continue after the Member has ceased to own Units in the Company.

(d)

Income Allocations After Termination of “S” Election or Disposition of Units .  In the event of the termination of the Company’s status as an “S” corporation under the Code, each of the Members agrees and consents to, the election by the Company under Section 1362(e)(3) of the Code to have the rules of Section 1362(e)(2) not to apply for its “S termination year”.  As a result of such election, the Company shall close its books on the last day of the short taxable year for the Company’s “S termination year”.  Additionally, in the event of the termination of a Member’s interest in the Company in any taxable year of the Company, each Member agrees, and consents to, the Company’s election to have the rules set forth in Section 1377(a)(1) apply as if the taxable year of the Company consisted of two taxable years.  The Company’s election with respect to Section 1377(a)(1) is to be made with respect to termination of the interest of any Member who disposes of all of his interests in the Company.

(e)

Member Loans/Straight Debt Safe Harbor .  In the event one or more Members loan funds to the Company, the terms of such loan shall comply with the requirements of the straight debt safe harbor provisions under Section 1361(c)(5) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.  In the event the terms of such loan fail to comply with the straight debt safe harbor under Section 1361(c)(5), then the parties agree transaction shall be characterized and documented as a contribution of capital by such Member to the Company notwithstanding the original terms of such transaction.

4.7

Fiscal Year; Books and Records .  The fiscal year of the Company shall be a calendar year.  The books and records of the Company shall be maintained in accordance with the cash method of accounting and Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.  The Company shall keep adequate books and records at its principal office, setting forth a true and accurate account of all business transactions arising out of and in connection with the conduct of the Company.  Such books and records shall be kept separate and apart from the books and records of any Member or any Affiliate thereof.  

4.8

Annual Report .  Within a reasonable period after the end of each Company fiscal year, each Member shall be furnished with a compiled annual report containing a balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and statements of income, Member’s equity and changes in financial position, and a cash flow statement for the year then ended.

4.9

4.11

Member Loans .  Member Loans shall neither increase the Percentage Interest nor increase the Capital Account of the Member(s) making such Member Loans.   In the event the Managing Member(s) requests the Members to make Member Loans, then each Member may, but shall not be obligated to, make a Member Loan to the Company in an amount equal to the amount of the required funds multiplied by such Member’s Percentage Interest.   In the event that any Member shall decline to lend its share of the requested funds, the lending Members may lend such amount (or portion thereof) as the non-lending Member shall have failed to lend pro-rata in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests of the lending Members or in such individual proportions as such lending Members shall mutually agree.  Member Loans shall be evidenced by a written promissory note by the Company and shall bear interest from time to time at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate of interest as announced by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (or its successor), but not higher than the highest non-usurious rate of simple interest for commercial loans under applicable law. Payments of principal and interest on Member Loans shall be made from cash available for distribution pursuant to Article 5 and shall be made prior to any other distribution pursuant to Article 5 (other than distributions pursuant to Section 5.2).  All Member Loans, both principal and interest, shall be fully due and payable upon

7.3.

Other Remedies .  The remedies provided by this paragraph 7 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available under applicable laws.  Without limitation, the Buyer and Sellers are entitled to enforce this Agreement by specific enforcement without the necessity of demonstrating inadequacy of damages or irreparable harm.

 



2



 


7.4.

Payment .  Claims for indemnification involving the payment of money will be paid within ninety (90) calendar days after written notification thereof.  Claims for indemnification involving amounts due to third parties will be promptly paid when due, subject to the right to contest the same in good faith.  Unpaid claims will incur interest at a floating rate of interest equal to the prime rate published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal.

Default .  If a Party fails to perform any obligation contained in this Agreement, the Party claiming default will serve written notice to the other Party specifying the nature of such default and demanding performance.  If such default shall continue for more than ten (10) calendar days after notice from the non-breaching Party, then the non-breaching Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by notice to that effect, but if that default cannot reasonably be cured within that cure period and a diligent effort has been commenced by the breaching Party within that cure period which is diligently prosecuted to completion, no default shall be deemed to exist; provided, however, if no cure has occurred,  the non-breaching Party will be entitled to exercise all remedies arising at law or in equity by reason of such default, including, without limitation, specific performance of this Agreement or any one or more of the provisions herein contained since money damages at law may not be an adequate remedy for a Party’s violation of this Agreement.


10.

Miscellaneous .  It is further agreed as follows:

Note Date: _______________


PAYMEON, INC.
(a Nevada corporation)

7% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Due On or Before ___________

PAYMEON, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received and intending to be legally bound, hereby promises to pay to the order of _________________ (“Holder”), the principal amount of ___________________ Dollars (the “Principal Amount”) on or before Mmmm DD, YYYY (the “Maturity Date”), together with interest thereon at the rate of 7% per annum (the “Interest”), as set forth herein (the “Note”).

1.

Convertible Note:   By accepting this Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges that this Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and Holder represents for himself and his legal representative that he is acquiring this Note and will acquire any shares issued upon conversion hereof, for his own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such securities and Holder agrees to reaffirm, in writing, this investment representation at the time of exercise of the conversion right set forth herein.

2.

Principal and Interest Payment:   The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of 7% per annum, accrued monthly and payable on the Maturity Date of ___________, unless the Note is converted or prepaid prior to the Maturity Date, in which case all accrued interest through the conversion or prepayment date shall become payable.

3.

Interest Rate Protection:  Should the Company issue any new or additional promissory notes that pay an interest rate that exceeds 7% per annum, then Holder shall be entitled to request an increase in the Interest rate payable on this Note to an amount equal to the rate being paid on the new or additional notes.  Any increase in the Interest rate shall be payable from the date of the increase forward and shall not be applied in arrears.




 


4.

Unsecured Obligation:   The obligations of the Company under this Note are unsecured.

5.

Conversion of Note:   This Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), at any time, at the option of the Holder as follows:

(a)

Conversion:   Subject to and upon compliance with the provision of this Section 4, at the option of the Holder, at any time on or before the Maturity Date the unpaid principal and interest balance of the Note may be converted in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) at the conversion rate equal to $_______ per share, except as otherwise adjusted below (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. Upon conversion of the entire principal balance, the principal represented thereby shall be canceled. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Holder submitting to the Company a notice of conversion attached hereto as Exhibit “1” (the “Conversion Notice”). The Conversion Notice shall state the dollar amount thereof to be so converted and shall include or be accompanied by representations as to the Holder’s investment intent substantially similar to those contained in this Note. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder and shall be transferrable only in accordance with all of the terms and restrictions contained herein.

(b)

Fractional Shares:   No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

(c)

Holder’s Conversion Limitations:   The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of




 


a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of Holder, the Company shall within two trading days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c). Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. For purposes of this Section “Affiliate” means any person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

(d)

Subdivision or Combination:   Whenever the Company shall subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination effective at the time of such subdivision or combination.

(e)

Reclassification or Change:   Whenever any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par, or from no par to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), effective provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to receive upon conversion of the Note the kind of stock, other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification by a holder of the number of share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such




 


reclassification. Thereafter, the rights of the parties hereto with respect to the adjustments of the amount of securities or other property obtainable upon conversion of this Note shall be appropriately continued and preserved, so as to afford as nearly as may be possible protection of the nature afforded by this subparagraph (e).

(f)

Merger:   If, prior to repayment of the obligations relevant hereto, or prior to conversion of this Note into equity in the Company, the Company shall be consolidated or merged with another company, or substantially all of its assets shall be sold to another company in exchange for stock wit the view to distributing such stock to its shareholders, each share of stock into which this Note is convertible shall be replaced for the purposes hereof by a pro rata amount of the securities or property issuable or distributable, based upon percentage of the Company’s common stock which a Holder would have owned had there been a conversion herein after consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale and adequate provision to that effect shall be made at the time thereof. The Company will provide the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any event described in this subsection (f).

6.

Company Right to Require Conversion:   After 180 days from the date of issuance of this Note, the Company shall have the right to require Holder to convert all or any part of the Note if the closing share price of Paymeon common stock as quoted on any public exchange or quotation system shall be equal to or greater than $0.70 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, such consecutive trading days being exclusive of the first 180 days post issuance of this Note.

7.

The aforesaid payments shall be applied first to accrued interest on the unpaid balance at the rate herein above specified and next to the payment of principal. Interest shall be accrued on the unpaid balance of principal existing on each day during the payment period.

This Note may be prepaid in part or in full at any time without penalty. The payment of any larger or additional sum in advance of the payments herein required shall not relieve the Maker of the payment of the regular installments or of any other sums due as herein provided.

It is agreed hereby that if any payment of the principal sum or above mentioned interest, or any installment thereof, or any interest thereon, not be made within ten (10) business days of when due or in the event default be made in the performance or compliance with any of the covenants and conditions of this Note; or upon any default in the payment of any sum due by Maker to Lender under any other note, security instrument or other written obligation of any kind now existing or hereafter created; or upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or dissolution of the Maker hereof; then, in any or all such events, the entire amount of principal of this Note with all interest then accrued, shall, at the option of the Lender of this Note and without notice (the Maker hereby expressly waives notice of such default), become and be due and collectible, time being of the essence of this Note.

The obligation to pay such attorneys' fees and costs shall survive the entry of any judgment hereon and shall not merge with the same.

After maturity or default, this Note shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted under then applicable law provided, however, in no event shall such rate exceed the highest rate permissible under the applicable law.

The undersigned does not intend or expect to pay nor does the Lender hereof intend or expect to charge, accept or collect any interest greater than the highest legal rate of interest, which may be allowed by law. Should the acceleration hereof or any changes made hereunder result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of such legal rate, any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by the Lender hereof, and any such excess shall be credited by the Lender to the balance hereof.
