NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Sunset Island Group, Inc. (“SIGO” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 29, 2005 as Gulf West Property, Inc. On October 25, 2005 the Company changed its name to Titan Global Entertainment, Inc. On May 7, 2008, the Company changed its name to Sunset Island Group, Inc.
Our business and corporate address is 20420 Spence Road, Salinas CA 93908, our phone number is (424) 239-6230. Our corporate website is www.sunsetislandgroup.com.
We have one subsidiary, VBF Brands, Inc. (“VBF Brands”), a California, corporation.
Our Business
The Company operates its cannabis growing, cultivation, manufacturing and distribution business through its wholly owned subsidiary VBF Brands. VBF Brands operated as a Nonprofit Mutual Benefit entity until December 21, 2017 when it was converted to a For Profit entity. Prior to December 21, 2017, VBF Brands operated as a collective under the Compassionate Use Act. Since VBF Brands was operating as a Nonprofit until December 21, 2017, the Company determined that it cannot book any revenue from the activities associated while it operated as collective under the Compassionate Use Act and as a non-profit. However, the Company will book the revenue generated by VBF Brands since December 21, 2017.
The Company previously operated its cultivation business through its former wholly owned subsidiary Battle Mountain Genetics, Inc. (“BMG”); however, upon the conversion of VBF Brands to a for profit entity the Company transitioned the operation of all of its cannabis actives through VBF Brands and BMG ceased active operations.
Share Exchange
BMG was incorporated in the State of California on September 29, 2016. On October 17, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BMG in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of SIGO common stock.
Prior to the share exchange SIGO had no assets, liabilities or operations; following the share exchange SIGO operated BMG as a wholly owned subsidiary. Immediately prior to the share exchange with BMG’s shareholders, there were 30,894 shares of SIGO Common Stock outstanding and no shares of SIGO Preferred Stock outstanding. After the share exchange, the Company had 50,031,771 Common shares outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
Divestiture of Battle Mountain Genetics, Inc.
During December 2017, the Company divested itself of BMG by transferring all of the issued and outstanding shares of BMG, to T.J. Magallanes a former officer and director of the Company, in exchange for 3,036,000 of Mr. Magallanes’ SIGO Series A Preferred shares.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2018. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2017 have been omitted. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 included in the Company’s 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2019.
Consolidation Policy
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, VBF Brands, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, at the date acquired. As of January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, cash primarily consists of cash in bank. As of January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, cash was $2,740 and $24,656, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
As at January 31, 2018, the Company has potentially 46,000,000 in dilutive securities, from outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock, which were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables that it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which 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 that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2018. The carrying values of our financial instruments, including, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses; and dividend payable and due to related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See notes 4.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 requires that the criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:
|
1.
|
The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally, or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations.
|
|
2.
|
The Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred.
|
|
3.
|
The Company can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred.
|
|
4.
|
The contract has commercial substance (that is, the risk, timing, or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract).
|
|
5.
|
It is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, an entity shall consider only the customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due. The amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled may be less than the price stated in the contract if the consideration is variable because the entity may offer the customer a price concession.
|
Research and Development Expenses
We follow ASC 730, “Research and Development,” and expense research and development costs when incurred. Accordingly, third-party research and development costs, including designing, prototyping and testing of product, are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or milestone results have been achieved. Indirect costs are allocated based on percentage usage related to the research and development.
Leasehold improvements
The company subleases land shared with other larger farms. In addition to fixed monthly lease payments, the Company is required to pay a proportionate share of costs incurred for upgrades benefiting all lots. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance and betterments for improvements shared with neighboring properties, are charged to rent expense as incurred.
For the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, additional leasehold costs included in rent expense were $33,930 and $0, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payments (“ASU 2018-07”). This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The effective date for the standard is for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than the Company's adoption date of Topic 606. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2018-07 will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The amendments in ASU No. 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02. Both of the below entities may still adopt using the public company adoption guidance in the related ASUs, as amended. The effective date is the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments for ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02.
In May 2014, the FASB issued some accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for identifying, allocating, and recognizing revenue related to the achievement of performance conditions under contracts with customers. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized under contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all revenue arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The amendments clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments also define the term in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments clarify that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. A contract that includes the transfer of ownership interests in one or more consolidated subsidiaries is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. The amendments clarify that an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it. Effective at the same time as the amendments in Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Therefore, public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the amendments in this Update to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.
In January 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in 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. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, however, early adoption is permitted with prospective application to any business development transaction.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs, and it does not have sufficient cash flow to maintain its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company expects to develop its business and thereby increase its revenue. However, the Company would require sufficient capital to be invested into the Company to acquire the properties to begin generating sufficient revenue to cover the monthly expenses of the Company. Until the Company is able to generate revenue, the Company would be required to raise capital through the sale of its stock or through debt financing. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.
To this date the Company has relied on the sale of securities to finance its operations and growth. The Company expects to continue to fund the Company through debt and securities sales and issuances until the Company generates enough revenues through the operations. These transactions will initially be through related parties, such as the Company’s officers and directors.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 1, 2018, the Company issued to Auctus Funds, LLC (“Auctus”) a convertible promissory note for $220,000 (the “Auctus Loan” or the “Auctus Note”). The Auctus Note is repayable in six months, from issuance, and bears interest at 12% per annum. The Auctus Note is convertible into Common shares at the option of the holder at issuance based on the discounted (50% discount) lowest trading prices of the Company’s Common shares during 25 days prior to the conversion. The Company had the right to prepay the note at 135% but negotiated the rate down to 125% plus 15,000 shares of restricted Common stock. On February 20, 2018, the Company repaid the Auctus Loan in full and as such it is no longer outstanding and has been retired. The repayment amount was $276,627 plus 15,000 shares of restricted Common stock.
On February 13, 2018, the Company executed a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and attendant promissory note, with St George Investments for $4,245,000 (the “St. George Loan” or the “St. George Note”) with the initial tranche of the St. George Loan being $945,000. The St. George Loan carries an original issuance discount (“OID”) of $385,000 and the Company agreed to pay financing fees of $10,000. The St. George Note is repayable one (1) year from issuance and bears interest at 10% per annum. The St. George Note is convertible into Common shares after six (6) months from the issuance based on the discounted (50% discount) lowest trading prices of the Company’s Common shares during 25 days prior to the conversion. The full amount of the St. George Loan shall be comprised of thirteen (13) tranches (each, a “Tranche”), consisting of (i) the initial Tranche in an amount equal to $945,000 and any interest, costs, fees or charges accrued thereon or added thereto under the terms of the St. George Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Initial Tranche”), and (ii) twelve (12) additional Tranches, each in the amount of $275,000, plus any interest, costs, fees or charges accrued thereon or added thereto under the terms of the St. George Note and the other Transaction Documents (each, a “Subsequent Tranche”).
In conjunction with the initial tranche from the St. George Note, the Company was provided with warrants to purchase up to 211,883 shares of common stock. The warrants to purchase common stock are equivalent to $472,500 divided by the market price of the Company stock on the note issuance date for the initial tranche. The warrants are exercisable at $1.90 per share within five years from the note issuance date.
On February 20, 2018, the Company received the Initial Tranche from St. George Investments, less $85,000 of the total OID, for net proceeds of $850,000. As part of the Initial Tranche, the Company repaid Auctus Loan. The total repayment amount of the Auctus Loan was $276,627 and 15,000 shares of common stock.
