This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include our statements regarding our goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans, including product and service developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. For example, when we discuss our expectations for 2019, our expectations for revenue sources, costs of revenue and expenses going forward, and that we will continue to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities, we are using forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to implement our strategic initiatives, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, interest rate risk, U.S. and global competition, and other factors. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made herein. The business and operations of CFN Enterprises Inc. are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

CFN Enterprises Inc., formerly known as Accelerize Inc., or the Company, is a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 22, 2005 which owned and operated CAKE, a Software-as-a-Service platform providing online tracking and analytics solutions for advertisers and online marketers. The Company provided software solutions for businesses interested in expanding their online advertising spend. Effective October 22, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to CFN Enterprises Inc.

 

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, or the Asset Purchase Agreement, with CAKE Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of Constellation Software Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (TSX: CSU), or Constellation, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets associated with its CAKE and Journey by CAKE business, or the CAKE Business, to Constellation for a base purchase price of $19,400,000 plus or minus an estimated closing date adjustment based on the net tangible assets of the CAKE Business at the closing, a holdback of $500,000 adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and payable on the first anniversary of the closing date, and a three year earnout equal to 30% of the amount that the annual net revenue of the CAKE Business exceeds $13,750,000 and payable within 120 days on each of the first, second and third end of month anniversaries of the closing date. The sale of the assets of the CAKE Business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement closed on June 18, 2019, and the Company received proceeds of $20,892,667, net of the estimated closing date adjustment.

 

As of the closing date, Constellation acquired all of the assets used by the Company in the CAKE Business and assumed the Company’s post-closing obligations under certain vendor, customer and other commercial contracts related to the CAKE Business, including the Company’s lease for its headquarters in Newport Beach, California. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and the assets associated with its Accelerize trademark, are excluded from the sale of the CAKE Business. Constellation offered employment to certain of the Company’s employees following the closing date.

 

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Emerging Growth Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC, or the Seller, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business for a purchase price consideration consisting of $420,000 in cash, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock with a total stated value of $3,000,000 which bears interest at 6% per annum and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price to be mutually agreed in the future, without voting rights or a liquidation preference except with respect to default interest.  The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing of the purchase of the assets pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement occurred on June 20, 2019.

 

Subsequent to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement on June 18, 2018, the Company’s continuing operations consist of the sponsored content and marketing business from the assets acquired pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement.

 

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.  

 

The Company had working capital of $902,697 and an accumulated deficit of $29,836,426 as of September 30, 2019.  The Company also had a net loss from continuing operations of $1,280,889 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

As discussed above, on May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Constellation under which all the net assets associated with the CAKE Business were sold. The proceeds from the Asset Purchase Agreement were used to pay off the Company’s existing debt, as well as to acquire certain assets in the Emerging Growth Agreement from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, growing the business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. The Company cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

 

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  

  

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and Cake Marketing UK Ltd., or the Subsidiary. The Company discontinued its operations associated with its CAKE Business and the operations of its Subsidiary in May 2019. These accounts have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Continuing operations presented in periods prior reflect administrative expenses associated with business insurance, legal and accounting fees that the Company will continue to incur. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.  The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation of these may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2019.

 

 

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets, borrowing rate considered for operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 

 

Financial Statement Reclassification

 

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. The prior year amounts have also been reclassified in these financial statements to properly report amounts under current operations and discontinued operations (see note 7).

  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company had restricted cash as a result of its corporate card program through its bank, which required collateral placed in a money market account. The corporate card program was terminated during the three months ended September 30, 2019, which resulted in the restricted cash balance being transferred back to the Company for its general use. The Company’s restricted cash amounted to $0 at September 30, 2019 and $50,000 at December 31, 2018. The restricted cash balance of $50,000 is included as a component of total cash and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s account receivables are due from customers relating to contracts to provide investor relation services. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at a financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. From time-to-time, the Company’s bank balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. The Company had cash balances of approximately $665,000 at September 30, 2019 that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit.

 

The Company's accounts receivable are due from customers located in the United States and Canada. The Company had three customers who each accounted for 13.0%, 11.7% and 11.0% of its accounts receivable at September 30, 2019 and none at December 31, 2018. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

 

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

 

Prior to the Company discontinuing the operations of its CAKE Business in May 2019, the Company’s SaaS revenues were generated from implementation and training fees and a monthly license fee, supplemented by per transaction fees paid by customers for monthly platform usage. The initial term of the customer contract were generally one year with one of two general cancellation policies. Each party could cancel the contract within the initial period or after the initial period, with 30-days’ prior notice. The Company did not provide any general right of return for its delivered items. Services associated with the implementation and training fees had standalone value to the Company’s customers, as there are third-party vendors who offer similar services to the Company’s services. Accordingly, they qualified as separate units of accounting. The Company allocated a fair value to each element deliverable at the recognition date and recognized such value when the services are provided. The Company bases the fair value of the implementation and training fees on third-party evidence and the monthly license fee on vendor-specific objective evidence. Fees charged by third-party vendors for implementation and training services do not vary significantly from the fees charged by the Company. Services associated with implementation and training fees were generally rendered within a month from the initial contract date. The value attributed to the monthly license fees as well as the fees associated with monthly transaction-based platform usage were recognized in the corresponding period.

 

Subsequent to the closing of the Emerging Growth Agreement on June 20, 2019, the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of promotional service packages to its customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. The services provided by the Company include advertising, publishing of interviews and articles across its network and featuring of client content on its newsletters and social media. The packages all have fixed prices that are billed monthly over the terms of the agreement in even amounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers over time as work is performed, which is deemed to occur evenly throughout the duration of the contract. This also reflects the pattern in which costs are incurred on performing the contracts. To the extent revenue recognized on contracts at each period end exceeds collections, the amounts are reflected as accounts receivable. To the extent collections on contracts at each period end exceeds revenue recognized, the amounts are reflected as deferred revenue.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  

Level 2:

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

  

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lines of credit approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses relating to continuing operations amounted to $148,738 and $160,029 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. There were no advertising expenses during 2018 relating to continuing operations. Advertising expenses reported as a component of discontinued operations amounted to $0 and $140,907 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $159,665 and $415,358 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. 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. 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. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. Dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Subsidiary in the United Kingdom was British Pounds. The translation from British Pounds to U.S. dollars is performed for asset and liability accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts using historical exchange rates or rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate in effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Foreign currency translation gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Software Development Costs

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company impaired the entire balance of unamortized internal-use software development costs which amounted to approximately $4,725,000 and did not capitalize internal-use software development costs in 2019. Costs incurred in the research and development of software products and significant upgrades and enhancements thereto during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation operation stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for maintenance and relatively minor upgrades and enhancements are expensed as incurred. Prior to the December 31, 2018 impairment, costs associated with the application development stage of new software products and significant upgrades and enhancements thereto were capitalized when 1) management implicitly or explicitly authorized and committed to funding a software project and 2) it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used to perform the function intended. The Company capitalized internal-use software development costs of $375,000 and $1,125,000 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018. The Company amortized such costs once the new software products and significant upgrades and enhancements were completed. The Company’s amortization expenses associated with capitalized software development costs amounted to $105,000 and $426,146 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and was reflected in cost of revenues. There were no expenses associated with capitalized software development costs during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019. The amortization expenses above are reported as a component of discontinued operations.

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. 

 

Goodwill

 

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level. There was no impairment recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 6,595,000 outstanding stock options and 8,127,184 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had 7,237,500 outstanding stock options and 25,045,517 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

 

Share-Based Payment

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

 

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

Common stock awards

 

The Company has granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

 

 

Warrants

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 6, Stockholders’ Deficit.  

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842).  This guidance will be effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less.  All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) Financing leases, similar to capital leases, which will require the recognition of an asset and liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments and (ii) Operating leases which will require the recognition of an asset and liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 and recognized assets and liabilities arising from any leases that meet the requirements under this standard on the adoption date and included qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the Company’s notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the goodwill impairment test. The effective date for ASU 2017-04 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. This Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on its financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. This standard has no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The objective of this standard is to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the classification of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, this standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, and it has had no material impact on its financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which provides 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 pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and it has had no material impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and supersedes the guidance in Subtopic 505-50, Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASU 2018-07, equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date fair value on the grant date. The probability of satisfying performance conditions must be considered for equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards with such conditions. This Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 and it has had no impact in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other accounting pronouncements have been issued but deemed by management to be outside the scope of relevance to the Company.

NOTE 4: ACQUISITONS

 

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Emerging Growth Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC (see Note 1), which closed on June 20, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Emerging Growth Agreement, the Company acquired certain assets from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business for a purchase price consideration consisting of $420,000 in cash, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2,700,000, and 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock valued at $687,000. As a result, the total purchase price amounted to $3,807,000.

 

A summary of the purchase price allocation at fair value is below.  The business combination accounting is not yet complete and the amounts assigned to the net assets acquired are provisional.  Therefore, this may result in future adjustments to the provisional amounts as new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

 

 

 

Intangible assets acquired represent amounts allocated to customers contracts of $7,000 and marketing-related intangible assets of $572,000, for an aggregate total of $579,000. The intangible assets related to customer contracts are being amortized over a period of approximately 5 months and the marketing-related intangible assets are being amortized over 10 years. Amortization expense for intangible assets for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $20,525. Estimated future amortization of intangible assets as of September 30, 2019 is as follows.

 

 

 

The following are the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as if the assets purchased in the Emerging Growth Agreement had been acquired on January 1, 2018.  The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions which management believes are reasonable.  However, pro forma results do include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of these entities, and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the business combination had been in effect on the dates indicated.

Warrants

 

The following summarizes the Company’s warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 500,000 warrants exercisable at a price of $0.15 per share which expire on January 25, 2024. The fair value of these warrants amounted to $44,670, and was recognized as deferred financing costs using the effective interest method during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. Additionally, per the down round feature of 7,935,000 warrants issued in connection with the Beedie Credit Agreement (see Note 7), pursuant to ASU 2017-11 which allows instruments with a down round feature to qualify for equity classification, the Company recognized the value of the feature when it was activated and there was an actual reduction of the strike price or conversion feature. The reduction in income of such 7,935,000 warrants amounted to $104,638 and was capitalized as deferred financing costs during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of the CAKE Business on June 18, 2019, the above warrants were cancelled.

 

On September 10, 2019, the Company issued 500,000 warrants in connection with a promissory note payable (see Note 5).

 

 

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 3,835,000 and 12,135,000 warrants related to its loans, at a fair value of $689,281 and $2,727,577, respectively, and were recognized as deferred financing costs and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the associated loan.

 

The Company recorded expenses of $0 and $101,836 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to warrants granted for compensation.
