NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

 

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes hereto as of December 31, 2014.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, or any other period. 

 

VPR Brands, LP (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was incorporated in New York on July 19, 2004, as Jobsinsite.com, Inc. Our Articles of incorporation were amended on August 5, 2004, to change our name to Jobsinsite, Inc. On June 18, 2009 we merged with a Delaware corporation and became Jobsinsite, Inc., and on July 1, 2009 we filed articles of conversion with the secretary of state of Delaware and became Soleil Capital L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

 

On May 29, 2015, the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Kevin Frija for a private placement (“Private Placement”) of up to 50,000,000 common units representing limited partnership interest of the Company.

 

The Private Placement is expected to occur in multiple tranches. For the first tranche, on June 4, 2015, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its Common Units to the Kevin Frija at a purchase price of $0.01 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $100,000 to the Company. In subsequent tranches, Kevin Frija will purchase an additional 40,000,000 Common Units. The Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $400,000 in the aggregate upon the closing of the subsequent tranches of the Private Placement, which is expected to be completed by September, 2016. No placement agent participated in the Private Placement.

 

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has named Kevin Frija chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors of the Company and as a manager of the Company’s general partner, Soleil Capital Management LLC (“General Partner”). Contemporaneous with Mr. Frija’s appointment as chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Directors, the Company’s current chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, Messrs. Jon Pan and Greg Pan, respectively, have resigned from their respective positions. Notwithstanding, Mr. Greg Pan continues to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Company and as a manager of the General Partner and Mr. Jon Pan continues to serve as a consultant to the Company. In consideration and as severance, for Jon Pan’s resignation as chief executive officer, the Company and the General Partner have entered into that certain Share Purchase Agreement with Jon Pan wherein the Company agreed to grant Jon Pan the right to purchase 10,000,000 of the Company’s Common Units, at a price of $0.01 per share.

On September 2, 2015, in accordance with authority granted to the General Partner under the Company’s Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner changed the Company’s name (“Name Change”) from Soleil Capital L.P. to VPR Brands, LP by filing an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Limited Partnership with the Delaware Secretary of State. Accordingly, on September 10, 2015, the Company’s General Partner also amended the Company’s Limited Partnership Agreement to reflect the Name Change from Soleil Capital L.P. to VPR Brands, LP. On September 17, 2015, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) approved the Name Change and the Company’s new trading symbol VPRB.

 

Business Description

 

The Company is engaged in various monetization strategies of a portfolio of patents the Company owns in both the US and China, covering electronic cigarette, electronic cigar and personal vaporizer patents. We currently market a brand of electronic cigarettes marketed under the brand “Red” in the United States and are undertaking efforts to establish distribution of our electronic cigarette brand in China. We are currently also identifying electronic cigarette companies that may be infringing our patents and exploring options to license and or enforce our patents

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash deposits and highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition.  In general, the Company has historically recorded revenue after payments for services have been received, which is at the time services are provided.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The

 

9  

 

 

carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated minimal revenues since inception and has an accumulated loss of $5,593,216 at September 30, 2015. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4: ASSET PURCHASE AND INTANGIBLE ASSET

 

On December 27, 2013, the Company entered into a patent acquisition agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and Guocheng “Greg” Pan, a natural person, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase certain electronic cigarette patents owned and invented by Mr. Pan (the “Purchased Assets”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and in consideration for the acquisition of the Purchased Assets, the Company issued to Mr. Pan (and

 

10  

 

 

certain of his designees) 10,501,700 common units representing limited partnership units of the Company and a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 common units representing limited partnership units of the Company. The warrants entitle Mr. Pan (or his designees) to purchase the Company’s common units at $0.15 per common unit with an expiration date ten years from the effective date of the Purchase Agreement. The company accounted for the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50-15 as an acquisition of assets rather than a business.

 

Patents were valued based on a certified appraisal received by the Company. The Company took into consideration the appraisal, number of shares issued, warrants issued, valuation of the traded stock at the time of issuance and similar patents sold during the year. Based on these assumptions the Company has valued the assets purchased at approximately $5.5 million at the time of purchase. During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company determined due to lack of sales and projected sales and completion in the industry the value of the patent should be significantly reduced. As a result the Company has written off the entire patent.

 

NOTE 5: PARTNER EQUITY/COMMON UNITS

 

On May 29, 2015, the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Kevin Frija for a private placement (“Private Placement”) of up to 50,000,000 common units representing limited partnership interest of the Company.

 

The Private Placement is expected to occur in multiple tranches. For the first tranche, on September 4, 2015, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its Common Units to Kevin Frija at a purchase price of $0.01 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $100,000 to the Company. In subsequent tranches, Kevin Frija will purchase an additional 40,000,000 Common Units. The Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $400,000 in the aggregate upon the closing of the subsequent tranches of the Private Placement, which is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2015 and be completed by September, 2016. No placement agent participated in the Private Placement.

 

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has named Kevin Frija chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors of the Company and as a manager of the Company’s general partner, Soleil Capital Management LLC (the “General Partner”). Contemporaneous with Mr. Frija’s appointment as chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Directors, the Company’s current chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, Messrs. Jon Pan and Greg Pan, respectively, have resigned from their respective positions. Notwithstanding, Mr. Greg Pan continues to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Company and as a manager of the General Partner and Mr. Jon Pan continues to serve as a consultant to the Company. In consideration and as severance, for Jon Pan’s resignation as chief executive officer, the Company and the General Partner have entered into that certain Share Purchase Agreement with John Pan wherein the Company agreed to grant Jon Pan the right to purchase 10,000,000 of the Company’s Common Units, at a price of $0.01 per share.

 

In April 2015, the Company issued 25,000 of the Company’s Common Units to Gordon Hung in exchange for services for the Company valued at $12,500.

 

In August 2015, the Company issued 1,980,000 of the Company’s common unit to the former CEO, Jon Pan in exchange for repayment of funds advanced of $8,000 and future consulting services totaling $11,800. The Company will amortize the prepaid expenses over the next 15 months starting October 1, 2015.

The Company, Soleil Capital Management LLC and Greg Pan entered into a Termination of Share Purchase Agreement on August 18, 2015, which terminated the Share Purchase Agreement, dated September 1, 2015, among the Company, Soleil Capital Management LLC and Greg Pan.

 

NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2014, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations and there are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

The Company, Soleil Capital Management LLC and Greg Pan entered into a Termination of Share Purchase Agreement on August 18, 2015, which terminated the Share Purchase Agreement, dated June 1, 2015, among the Company, the General Partner and Greg Pan.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

VPR Brands, LP (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was incorporated in New York on July 19, 2004, as Jobsinsite.com, Inc. Our Articles of incorporation were amended on August 5, 2004, to change our name to Jobsinsite, Inc. On June 18, 2009 we merged with a Delaware corporation and became Jobsinsite, Inc., and on July 1, 2009 we filed articles of conversion with the secretary of state of Delaware and became Soleil Capital L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

 

On December 27, 2013, the Company entered into a patent acquisition agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Soleil and Guocheng “Greg” Pan, a natural person, pursuant to which Soleil agreed to purchase certain electronic cigarette and personal vaporizer patents owned and invented by Mr. Pan (the “Purchased Assets”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and in consideration for the acquisition of the Purchased Assets, Soleil issued to Mr. Pan (and certain of his designees) 10,501,700 common units representing limited partnership units of Soleil and a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 common units representing limited partnership units of Soleil. The warrants entitle Mr. Pan (or his designees) to purchase Soleil common units at $0.15 per common unit with an expiration date ten years from the effective date of the Purchase Agreement.

 

The patents were originally valued based on number of shares issued, warrants issued, valuation of the traded stock at the time of issuance and similar patents sold during the year. Based on these

 

13  

 

 

assumptions the Company has valued the assets purchased at approximately $5.5 million at the time of purchase. During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company determined due to lack of sales and projected sales and completion in the industry the value of the patent should be significantly reduced. As a result the Company has written off the entire patent.

The Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $400,000 in the aggregate upon the closing of the subsequent tranches of the Private Placement, which is expected to be completed by September, 2016. No placement agent participated in the Private Placement.

 

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has named Kevin Frija chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors of the Company and as a manager of the Company’s general partner, Soleil Capital Management LLC (the “General Partner”). Contemporaneous with Mr. Frija’s appointment as chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Directors, the Company’s current chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, Messrs.

Since our inception the company has generated nominal revenues through the sale of software items related to the job search industry and in 2009 management actively explored opportunities to manage private capital, specifically the Company had plans to sponsor and manage limited partnerships organized for the purpose of exploring opportunities to acquire securities in secondary transactions of venture backed businesses and dispensing capital to seed stage venture capital opportunities. As a result of the Company’s new business direction and in an effort to establish operations in the venture capital and private equity industry, the Company has reorganized the business and restructured the Company as a public limited partnership.  In 2013, management identified an opportunity to acquire a portfolio of electronic cigarette and personal vaporizers patents. In connection with this transaction the Company’s business objectives pivoted and the Company is now focusing its efforts on the electronic cigarette and personal vaporizer industry and is pursuing plans to commercialize and monetize its portfolio of electronic cigarette and personal vaporizer patents.

 

How We Plan to Generate Revenue

 

VPR Brands is a technology holding company whose assets include issued U.S. and Chinese electronic cigarette and personal vaporizer patents and related components.

 

Our portfolio of electronic cigarette and personal vaporizer patents (the “Patents”) are the basis for our efforts to:

 

• Design, market and distribute a line of electronic cigarettes sold under the “RED” brand;

 

• Prosecute and enforce our patent rights;

• License our intellectual property; and

• Develop private label manufacturing programs.

 

Results of Operations:

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

We will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of our products and through equity or debt securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company realized cash used in operations of $33,826 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $64,590 used in nine months ended September 30, 2014. Decrease in cash used is mainly a result of the reduced net loss for the quarter and $32,300 of stock issued for services during the year.

 

16  

 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015 the Company was provided cash from financing activities of $100,000. The Company had two separate private placements in 2014 and 2015.

 

Assets

 

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had total assets of $88,917 and $9,442. Assets consist of the cash accounts held by the Company. For the current quarter $13,301 of the assets were prepaid expenses. The remainder of assets was cash.

 

Liabilities

 

Our total liabilities were $1,500 at September 30, 2015, compared to $5,760 at December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of accounts payables paid by the Company and the elimination of $8,000 of debt due to a shareholder in exchange for common units.

 

At this time, we have not secured or identified any additional financing to execute our plan of operations over the next 12 months. We do not have any firm commitments nor have we identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from shareholders. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us, or that, if available, it will be on terms satisfactory to us. Any additional financing may involve dilution to our shareholders. In the alternative, additional funds may be provided from cash flow in excess of that needed to finance our day-to-day operations, although we may never generate this excess cash flow. If we do not raise additional capital or generate additional funds, implementation of our plans for expansion will be delayed. If necessary we may withdraw from certain growth strategies to conserve cash for continued operation.

 

Off –Balance Sheet Operations

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

17  

 

 

With respect to the period ending September 30, 2015, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  

 

Based upon our evaluation regarding the period ending September 30, 2015, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  Through the use of external consultants and the review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.  

 

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  However, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error 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 benefit 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.
