Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Findex.com, Inc. (“Findex”) was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada on November 7, 1997, and
is headquartered in Lake Park, Florida with its base of business
operations co-located in the same facility. The Company is currently comprised of EcoSmart and a consolidated variable interest
entity, Advanced Cement Sciences, LLC (formerly Advanced Nanofibers, LLC). EcoSmart has historically been the driver of both operating
overhead and revenue. EcoSmart was acquired by the Company in a merger in 2014 and centers around a proprietary line of specialty
materials coatings that have a broad range of value-adding industrial, commercial, residential and consumer applications. Advanced
Cement Sciences LLC (“ACS”) is a variable interest entity of which the Company owned a minority 31.06% interest at
March 31, 2018 and, for accounting purposes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidelines, is considered the primary
beneficiary among the equity participants based on qualitative and quantitative criteria. ACS is a Florida-based, engineered cement
technology and products firm founded in mid-2016 and currently focused on globally marketing a line of proprietary admixtures to
be used in the production of ultra-lightweight, high-strength concrete and high-performance stucco. Despite the Company’s
lack of corporate control over ACS, and ACS’s lack of revenue to date, it is a venture that the Company’s management
has been and continues to be very actively involved in developing, and that is increasingly consuming a greater percentage of the
Company’s financial and human resources, a trend management expects to continue into the foreseeable future.
ECOSMART
The Company’s core business – known as EcoSmart Surface
& Coatings Technologies – is centered around a line of specialty industrial glass-based “smart surface” coatings
that have a wide range of uses across each of the industrial, commercial, and household market segments and that are centered around
a U.S. patented technology that, either on its own or when coupled with any of an array of available proprietary formula additives,
offers a unique combination of beneficial surface properties that allow for a broad array of multi-surface and end-product applications.
Among others, such applications currently include:
|
▪
|
Heavy Construction Equipment/Vehicles
|
|
▪
|
Oil and Gas Drilling and Related Heavy Equipment
|
|
▪
|
Industrial and Residential HVAC Equipment, Commercial Refrigeration Systems, and Power Generators
|
|
▪
|
Interior and Exterior Flooring and Tiling, Pavers and Hardscapes
|
Over time, EcoSmart intends to develop itself in the strategic direction
of becoming a leading research-oriented, high-tech specialty “smart-surface” materials development and licensing company
centered around a highly-qualified research team and state-of-the-art research lab and applying a combination of organic and inorganic
chemistries, materials science engineering, and nanotechnology. EcoSmart currently has expertise and capabilities in each of these
areas.
ADVANCED CEMENT SCIENCES (VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITY)
ACS is a variable interest
entity of which the Company owned a minority 31.06% interest at March 31, 2018 and, for accounting purposes under FASB guidelines,
is considered the primary beneficiary among the equity participants based on qualitative and quantitative criteria. ACS is a Florida-based,
engineered cement technology and products firm founded in September 2016 and currently focused on globally marketing a line of
proprietary admixtures it has acquired the rights to and further internally developed to be used in the production of ultra-lightweight,
high-strength concrete and high-performance stucco. The business of ACS has undergone a gradual but fundamental transformation
since the second quarter of 2017 (following the negotiated withdrawal of one of its founding members) from having as its primary
focus the development and enhancement of applied nanotechnologies to materials development generally, on the one hand, to the development,
manufacturing and sales of very competitively-priced, premium-performance -concrete- and stucco-enhancing admixture products that
rely on certain nanotechnologies, on the other. Company management believes the prospects for ACS are extraordinary based on its
advanced, engineered and proprietary cement chemistry coupled with the sheer magnitude of the global markets in relation to which
they offer a meaningful value proposition. Specifically, ACS views its products as having the capability to substantially improve
the net economics of any business:
|
▪
|
building or making products from concrete or stucco;
|
|
▪
|
where there is additional economic value to be mined by using a concrete or stucco that has either:
|
|
|
▪
|
a substantially increased per unit strength than that currently being used,
|
|
|
▪
|
a substantially reduced per unit weight/density, or
|
|
|
▪
|
both.
|
At March 31, 2018, ACS was owned and controlled approximately 93%
by its remaining two founding members, the Company and Nanotech Fibers, LLC, each of which have been actively involved in its development
to date. Although it is still in the earliest stage of products commercialization and revenue development, the Company’s
management team and certain members of the Company’s operations personnel devote a very significant and growing percentage
of their working time to the business of ACS. The Company’s president and chief executive officer, Steven Malone, serves
as a managing member of ACS with what is effectively the senior-most level of fiscal and operational responsibility for the firm.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and reoccurring adjustments, that, in the opinion of management, are considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The
results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future
period. The December 31, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Findex.com, Inc. included
in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April
17, 2018.
Principles
of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Reagan Holdings, Inc., Findex.com, Inc. Delaware, and ESCT Acquisition Corp.), and
the accounts of ACS, a Florida limited liability company and variable interest entity, of which the Company has been deemed the
primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2018, the Company owns a non-controlling, minority interest of 31.06% in ACS. All inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the Company’s 2017 financial statements
have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in 2018 financial statements.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors
that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual
results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there
are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant
estimates include inventory evaluation for slow moving and obsolete items, collectability of accounts receivable, assessing intangibles
for impairment, useful lives of assets, and valuation of stock based compensation and consideration of variable interest entities.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORY
The Company’s inventories are recorded at the lower of cost
or market using the first in, first out method. The Company’s inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. The
Company takes into consideration certain inventory items that are slow moving and obsolete and calculates a provision for these
inventory items.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL
The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and patents
pending acquired from third parties, and are recorded at cost. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-30,
General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill
, intangible assets with an indefinite
useful life are not amortized. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives, generally three to ten years. All intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any impairment expense related to intangible
assets.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions
of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which provides
guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. ASC 606 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related
to revenue recognition policies. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company at times may
enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct
and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected
from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Nature of Products and Services
In addition, within the Company’s operations as a whole, the
Company derives part of its revenues from the sale of downloadable software products. Licenses for on-premises software provide
the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from distinct on-premises
licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company’s research
and development costs consist of direct production costs, including labor directly associated with the development of projects
and outside consultants, and indirect costs such as those associated with facilities use. For labor costs and costs of outside
consultants, the Company records the research and development costs as a reduction against either personnel costs or professional
fees. For facilities leasing related expenses, the Company records the research and development costs as a reduction against rent.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $64,561 and $88,471, respectively, in research and development
costs.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognizes share-based compensation in accordance with
ASC 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation
, using the modified prospective method. ASC 718 requires that the Company
measure the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair
value and to recognize this cost over the requisite service period. See Note 8.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share
,
to calculate and report basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed
by giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. For the Company, dilutive
potential shares of common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options
and warrants for all periods and convertible notes payable.
When discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and/or the cumulative
effect of an accounting change are present, income before any of such items on a per share basis represents the “control
number” in determining whether potential shares of common stock are dilutive or anti-dilutive. Thus, the same number of potential
shares of common stock used in computing diluted EPS for income from continuing operations is used in calculating all other reported
diluted EPS amounts. In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no incremental shares would be issued because they would be
anti-dilutive. In addition, certain options and warrants are considered anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were above the
average market price during the period. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS, in accordance
with ASC 260-10-45-17.
The calculations of net loss per share for the three months ended
March 31, 2018 and 2017 excluded the impact of the following potential common shares as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has presented $114,368
of Accrued royalties in discontinued operations. The royalties pertain to the Company’s sale of the QuickVerse
®
product line in 2011. See Note 12.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-02,
Leases
. The
standard requires all leases with lease terms over 12 months to be capitalized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the
balance sheet at the date of lease commencement. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating. This distinction will
be relevant for the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard will be effective for the calendar year
ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the financial
statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles-Goodwill
and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
. The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by
eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments of ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill
impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment
charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss cannot exceed the
total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020.
The amendments require a prospective approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment
tests. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates the
Company’s continuation as a going concern. However, as of March 31, 2018, the Company had negative working capital of $3,760,562
and had an accumulated deficit of $7,976,117. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management has taken several actions in an attempt to mitigate this risk. These actions include capital raising
initiatives involving the issuance of equity and/or notes payable to investors, as well as cash conservation initiatives involving
the issuance of equity and/or notes payable to employees and related parties. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments related to these uncertainties.
NOTE 3 – CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
The FASB authoritative guidance on consolidation requires the “primary
beneficiary” of a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) to consolidate that entity. The “primary beneficiary”
of a VIE, for this purpose, is a company that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE without any corresponding voting
rights control. A controlling financial interest in this regard exists when a company is determined to have both the power to direct
the activities that most significantly impact a VIE’s economic performance, on the one hand, and the obligation to absorb
losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, on the other. The Company
is one member, among others, of a Florida based, engineered cement technology and products firm, ACS. This firm was formed by the
participants for the purpose of focusing on globally marketing a line of proprietary admixtures it has acquired the rights to and
further internally developed to be used in the production of ultra-lightweight, high-strength concrete and high-performance stucco.
Having been involved in the formation of ACS in September 2016, the Company determined during the fourth quarter of 2016 that it
was the primary beneficiary of ACS, among the equity participants, based on qualitative and quantitative criteria. Among other
factors, and more specifically, it was determined that the equity investors in ACS do not, and are not obligated to, provide sufficient
financial resources for the entity to support itself in terms of day-to-day research and development activities. However, the Company
has provided financial support that is disproportionate to its equity interest, and the Company’s management was involved
in the organization of the entity. Therefore, a VIE is to be consolidated by the Company if and when the Company holds a majority
of the variable interests in the entity and is thus subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company provided the financial resources in the amount of $53,046, as support for
ACS’s day-to-day research and development activities. See Note 1.
The carrying value of the assets and liabilities of ACS which are
included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, ACS had no changes in
its equity structure. For the year ended December 31, 2017, ACS sold equity in the company for $200,000 in cash to a new equity
member, gained $1,000 in equity back as one of the four original investors withdrew from involvement with ACS, and sold additional
equity in the amount of $60,000 to a new equity member for services previously provided to ACS. The following schedule illustrates
the effect of such changes and shows the changes in the Company’s ownership interest in ACS on the Company’s equity.

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents and patents
pending acquired from third parties, and are recorded at cost. The Company amortizes the costs of its intangible assets over their
estimated useful lives unless such lives of approximately 11 years. Patents pending are not amortized until the patents are issued.
Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair
value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment,
at least annually, and written down to fair value as required.
The Company’s intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization
consisted of the following:
