REALBIZ MEDIA GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2018

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization and Nature of Business

 

RealBiz Media Group, Inc., including all its subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as “RealBiz,” “RBIZ”, “Company,” “us,” or “we”. Through July 31, 2018, RealBiz operated two business segments – food products and real estate. On July 31, 2018, the real estate segment of the Company’s business was spun-off into a separate public company (see Note 8).

 

As an international supplier of consumer food products, we market under our own brand primarily to supermarkets, hotels, and other members of the wholesale trade, offering frozen foods, particularly meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, french fries, and beverages. We have a significant regional presence in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) and sub-Saharan Africa (excluding Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) restricted nations), with deep roots in the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries, which includes the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

  

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2017, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2018. The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending October 31, 2018.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, stock-based compensation and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s consolidated financial statements to enhance comparability with the current year’s consolidated financial statements, including but not limited to presenting the spin-off of the real estate segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s food products accounts receivable, net and revenues are geographically concentrated with customers located in the GCC countries. In addition, significant concentrations exist with a limited number of customers. If demand for the Company’s products from these customers decreases, there may be an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

The Company purchases substantially all of its food products from a limited number of regions around the world or from a limited number of suppliers. The Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position may be materially and adversely affected if there are significant price increases for these food products, the Company has difficulty obtaining these food products, or the quality of available food products deteriorates. For periods in which the prices of these food products are rising, the Company may be unable to pass on the increased cost to the Company’s customers, which would result in decreased margins. For periods in which the prices are declining, the Company may be required to write down its inventory carrying cost which, depending on the extent of the differences between market price and carrying cost, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Marketable securities

 

In January 2018, as part of the legal settlement with Monaker Group, Inc. (“Monaker”), NestBuilder received Monaker common shares valued at $32,270, which we have classified as “available for sale” securities. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities , our marketable securities are trading securities and changes are reflected in our statement of operations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. At July 31, 2018, the Company determined there was no requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts. At October 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $45,933.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of net realizable value, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or cost. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and transportation.

 

Convertible Debt Instruments

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, due from affiliates, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the Company’s price to its customer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”). ASC 718-10 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. In March 2005, the SEC issued Share-Based Payment No. 107 (“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees . The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Foreign Currency

 

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end exchange rates and profit and loss accounts have been translated using average exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities of an entity that are denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency using end of period exchange rates or historical rates, where applicable to certain balances. Gains and losses related to these re-measurements are recorded within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of Other Income (Expense).

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year-to-year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company’s tax returns for its October 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 tax years may be selected for examination by the taxing authorities as the statute of limitations remains open.

 

The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices for the tax years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share , basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

 

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018 and July 31, 2017 as we incurred a net loss for those periods. At July 31, 2018, there were outstanding warrants to purchase up to 17,786,467 shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 369 million shares of the Company’s common stock which may dilute future EPS as a result of conversions of outstanding convertible promissory notes.

 

Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s ongoing operations are related to the international food industries, and its prospects for success are tied indirectly to interest rates and the worldwide demand for the Company’s food products.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. This update is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for us beginning November 1, 2018, which is when we plan to adopt this standard. The ASU permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The ASU also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required for customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2015-14 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In September, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842) , which amends certain aspects of the new lease standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The new standard changes the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . The amendments in this ASU 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 businesses. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, it (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. This ASU is the final version of proposed ASU 2015-330 Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which has been deleted. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This ASU is the final version of proposed ASU 2016-360— Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope of Modification Accounting , which has been deleted. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,576,655 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018. At July 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,208,361, net cash used in operations of $978,000, and an accumulated deficit of $25,018,786. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing, without additional debt or equity financing. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months and to fund the growth of the food business, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock and/or through the issuance of debt instruments. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet its cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all.

 

Note 4: Segment reporting

 

Through July 31, 2018, the Company had two reportable segments: real estate and food products. On July 31, 2018, the real estate segment was spun-off into a separate public company, leaving the Company with only the food products segment (see Note 8).

NOTE 5: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

At July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, there was $1,349,618 and $975,250 of convertible notes payable outstanding, respectively, net of discounts of $7,500 and $15,000, respectively. Additionally, at July 31, 2018, the Company was in default with respect to certain convertible notes as a result of not having sufficient shares of common stock available for issuance upon the conversion of such notes and certain cross-default provisions. The default provisions include 1) default interest rates ranging from 18% to 24% per annum, 2) daily fixed dollar penalties, and 3) an increase in the total amount due calculated by multiplying the aggregate of the then outstanding principal amount of the note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus default interest and fixed dollar penalties by 200%. As of July 31, 2018, the principal amount of the notes together with interest accrued thereon and penalties totaled $855,398, consisting of $793,327 of default principal and $62,071 of default interest. 

 

On December 21, 2017, the Company issued EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) a convertible note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “EMA Note 2”). The EMA Note 2 accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures on December 21, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the EMA Note 2, the Company may prepay the principal amount of the note together with accrued interest at any time on or prior to June 19, 2018   , subject to certain prepayment penalties. Pursuant to the terms of the EMA Note 2, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the EMA Note 2 are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of: (i) the closing sale price of the common stock on the principal market on the trading day immediately preceding the closing date of such note, and (ii) 60% of either the lowest sale price for the common stock on the principal market during the fifteen consecutive trading days including and immediately preceding the conversion date, or the closing bid price, whichever is lower; provided, however , if the Company’s share price at any time loses the bid (as specified in the EMA Note 2), then the conversion price may, in EMA’s sole and absolute discretion, be reduced to a fixed conversion price of $0.00001, subject to the Company reducing the par value of its common stock; provided, further that,  that if on the date of delivery of the conversion shares to EMA, or any date thereafter while conversion shares are held EMA, the closing bid price per share of common stock on the principal market on the trading day on which the common stock are traded is less than the sale price per share of common stock on the principal market on the trading day used to calculate the conversion price hereunder, then such conversion price shall be automatically reduced such that the conversion price shall be recalculated using the new low closing bid price (“Adjusted Conversion Price”) and shall replace the conversion price above, and EMA shall be issued a number of additional shares such that the aggregate number of shares EMA receives is based upon the Adjusted Conversion Price.

 

On December 28, 2017, the Company issued Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”) a convertible note in the principal amount of $53,000 (the “Power Up Note 6”).

On January 26, 2018, the Company issued the Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust a promissory note in the principal amount of $530,000 (the “Monaco Note”). The Monaco Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on January 26, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Monaco Note, the Company may prepay the principal amount of the note together with accrued interest at any time prior to the date of maturity without a prepayment penalty. Pursuant to the terms of the Monaco Note, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Monaco Note are not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock; provided, however, upon the Company’s failure to pay the obligations set forth in the Monaco Note on the maturity date, the holder may convert the Monaco Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lowest closing price of the Company’s common stock during the fifteen trading days prior to the date the holder gives notice of the default to the Company.

The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Company shall have the authority to issue is 1,625,000,000 shares consisting of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.001 par value per shares; of which 1,500,000,000 are outstanding at July 31, 2018 and 125,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share of which (A) 120,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred of which 44,570,101 are outstanding at July 31, 2018, (B) 1,000,000 shares have been designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of which no shares are outstanding at July 31, 2018 and (C) 1,000,000 have been designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 160,000 shares are outstanding at July 31, 2018. At July 31, 2018, the Company does not have any shares of common stock available for issuance, which triggered a default on certain convertible notes payable (see Note 5).

 

Common Stock

On January 29, 2018, the Company settled litigation with NestBuilder which resulted in the return and cancellation of 4,163,315 shares of the Company’s common stock on February 2, 2018.

 

As of July 31, 2018, there were warrants to purchase up to 17,786,467 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and approximately 369 million shares of the Company’s common stock which may dilute future EPS as a result of conversions of outstanding convertible promissory notes.

  

NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In October 2017, we announced the execution of a definitive agreement that included significant contingencies to spin-off the real estate segment into a separate public company named NestBuilder. On July 31, 2018, all contingencies were met and all stockholders of record received, on a pro-rata basis, 1 share of NestBuilder for every 900 shares of the Company held in connection with the spin-off.

 

NOTE 8: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Through July 31, 2018, we operated a real estate segment which generated revenue from service fees (video creation and production and website hosting (ReachFactor)) and product sales (Nestbuilder Agent 2.0 and Microvideo app). The real estate segment was formed through the merging of three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs); (ii) our TV media contracts (Home Preview Channel /Extraordinary Vacation Homes) division; and (iii) our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group (RealBiz 360). The assets of these divisions were used to create a new suite of real estate products and services that created stickiness through the utilization of video, social media and loyalty programs. At the core of our programs was our proprietary video creation technology which allowed for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with voice and music. We provided video search, storage and marketing capabilities on multiple platform dynamics for web, mobile and TV. Once a home, personal or community video was created using our proprietary technology, it could be published to social media, email or distributed to multiple real estate websites, broadband or television for consumer viewing.

 

As a result of the spin-off of the real estate segment, all related assets and liabilities are disclosed net as current assets and current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets, and all related income and expenses are disclosed net as income (loss) from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 9: BUSINESS DIVESTITURE

 

Effective May 1, 2018, Verus Foods MENA Limited (“Verus MENA”) sold its 25% common stock ownership in Gulf Agro Trading, LLC (“Gulf Agro”) to Verus Middle East General Trading, LLC (“VME”). As VME is a new legal entity, in consideration of its 25% common stock ownership in Gulf Agro, VME was assigned all contracts executed during a specified period of time including all future related revenue, in addition to retaining certain receivables and inventory which were previously paid to or belonged to Gulf Agro, and the forgiveness of $119,106 of payables, which resulted in a gain of $119,106 and is reflected within the other income (expense) section of our unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). All remaining liabilities of Gulf Agro remained with Gulf Agro. This transaction benefited VME by providing VME with a broader license for product distribution, forgiveness of $119,106 of payables resulting in the aforementioned gain, and full control of all intellectual property rights.

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 26, 2018.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “should”, “could” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements generally relate to and are based upon our current plans, expectations, assumptions and projections about future events. Our management currently believes that the various plans, expectations, and assumptions reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable. Nevertheless, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual future results may be materially different from the plans, objectives or expectations, or our assumptions and projections underlying our present plans, objectives and expectations, which are expressed in this section.

 

In light of the foregoing, prospective investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements included in this filing may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Because of the significant uncertainties inherent in such forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by the Company or any other person that our objectives, plans, expectations or projections that are contained in this filing will be achieved in any specified time frame, if ever. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to important factors and risks including, but not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, potential impairment of intangible assets, accrued liabilities and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2018 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of July 31, 2018, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended July 31, 2018 compared to three months ended July 31, 2017

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenue

Our revenue increased to $1,371,445 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $1,048,576 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $322,869 or 31%. The increase is the result of reducing the order backlog with customers due to increased operational cash flows that allow us to procure additional products for sale.

 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue totaled $1,147,231 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $827,161 for three months ended July 31, 2017, representing an increase of $320,070 or 39%. The increase is the result of higher revenue and related product costs.

 

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, which include salaries and benefits, selling and promotions, legal and professional fees and general and administrative expenses decreased to $336,231 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $410,513 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, a decrease of $74,282, or 18%. The decrease is primarily due to reduced headcount and legal fees as a result of the conclusion of certain litigation, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

 

14
 

 

Other Income (Expense)

Our other expense, net, increased by $790,272 for the three months ended July 31, 2018. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in expense as a result of certain default provisions of our convertible notes payable.

 

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $911,510 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $198,319 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $713,191. The increase in net loss is primarily driven by the increase in other expense, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses as disclosed above.

 

Discontinued Operations  

 

Revenue

Our revenue decreased to $70,016 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $106,055 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, a decrease of $36,039 or 34%. The decrease is primarily a result of the continuing decline in our legacy virtual tour business.

 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue totaled $17,200 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $28,320 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, representing an decrease of $11,120 or 39%. The decrease is primarily the result of reduction in lower server costs.

 

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, which include salaries and benefits, selling and promotions, legal and professional fees and general and administrative expenses increased to $59,798 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $39,179 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $20,619, or 53%. The increase is primarily due to an increased sales and marketing expense and higher general and administrative expenses.

 

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income (expense), net, increased by $159,927 for the three months ended July 31, 2018. The increase is primarily the result of a favorable legal settlement.

 

Net Income from Discontinued Operations

We had net income of $152,422 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared to net income of $38,032 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $114,390. The increase in net income is primarily driven by the increase in other income, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses as disclosed above.

 

Nine months ended July 31, 2018 compared to nine months ended July 31, 2017

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenue

Our revenue increased to $3,605,889 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $2,033,644 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $1,572,245 or 77%. The increase is the result of nine months of revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2018 compared to six months of revenue for the prior year period in addition to reducing the order backlog with customers due to increased operational cash flows that allow us to procure additional products for sale.

 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue totaled $3,112,002 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $1,769,302 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, representing an increase of $1,342,700 or 76%. The increase is a result of higher revenue and related product costs in addition to nine months of revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2018 compared to six months of revenue for the prior year period.

 

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, which include salaries and benefits, selling and promotions, legal and professional fees and general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,099,045 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $1,405,609 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, a decrease of $306,564, or 22%. The decrease is primarily due to reduced headcount, reduced legal fees as a result of the conclusion of certain litigation, and non-recurring stock-based compensation expense recognized in January 2017 related to the Company hiring a new Chief Executive Officer, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

 

15
 

 

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income (expense), net, increased by $1,109,363 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in expense as a result of certain default provisions of our convertible notes payable, and a $189,483 payable as a result of a settlement of the Monaker litigation.

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $1,835,841 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $1,262,586 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $573,255. The increase in net loss is primarily driven by the increase in other expense, partially offset by the decline in operating expenses and the increase in gross profit as disclosed above.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Revenue

Our total revenue decreased to $216,316 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $299,982 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, a decrease of $83,666 or 28%. The decrease is primarily the result of the continuing decline in our legacy virtual tour business.

 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue totaled $56,800 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $120,402 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, a decrease of $63,602 or 53%. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in lower server costs.

 

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses, which include salaries and benefits, selling and promotions, legal and professional fees and general and administrative expenses increased to $237,863 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to $182,952 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $54,911. The increase is due to an increase in legal fees and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in salary and benefit expenses.

 

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income (expenses), net, increased by $338,293 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018. The increase is primarily the result of certain legal settlements.

 

Net Income from Discontinued Operations

We had net income of $259,186 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $4,132 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, an increase of $263,318. The increase is primarily driven by the increase in other income (expense), partially offset by the increase in operating expenses and decrease in gross profit as disclosed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At July 31, 2018, the Company had $136,475 of cash and a working capital deficit of $1,208,361 as compared to cash of $251,301 and a working capital deficit of $798,577 at October 31, 2017.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $978,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2018 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $740,090 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017.

 

We did not have any cash used in or provided by investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2018 or July 31, 2017.

 

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through proceeds from equity and debt financings and revenue derived from operations. During the nine months ended July 31, 2018, we had $790,250 of net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations as compared to $794,360 during the nine months ended July 31, 2017. Our continued operations primarily depends upon our ability to raise additional capital from various sources including equity and debt financings, as well as our revenue derived from operations. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs or will be on favorable terms. Based on our current plans, we believe that our cash provided from the above sources may not be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned operating needs for the next twelve months.

 

16
 

 

We have based our estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our securities, debt or other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of July 31, 2018.

 

Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

 

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which should enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

 

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2018, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2018 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
