Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward -looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, including without limitation forward-looking statements made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements as to our future operating results; seasonality expectations; plans for the development, utilization or disposal of manufacturing facilities; future economic conditions; our expectations as to legal proceedings; the effect of our market and product development efforts; and expectations or plans relating to the implementation or realization of our strategic goals and future growth, including through potential future acquisitions. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flow, results of operations, use of cash and other measures of financial performance, as well as statements relating to future dividend payments. Other forward-looking statements may be identified through the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “expectations,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “strategy,” and other words of similar meaning in connection with the discussion of future operating or financial performance. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which we operate, and the beliefs and assumptions made by management. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Investors, therefore, are cautioned against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Readers should refer to the discussions under “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 concerning certain factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in such forward-looking statements. These Risk Factors are hereby incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.

Notes to Interim Condensed Combined Financial Statements

For The Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Gripevine, Inc. (formerly Baixo Relocation Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 7, 2014. The Company operated as a relocation service provider for clients moving to the State of Goa, India and ceased this business and engaged in developing and building an online resolution platform after the Share Exchange Agreement as explained in the subsequent paragraphs. The Company's fiscal year-end is February end.

 

MBE Holdings Inc. (“MBE”) was incorporated as a limited liability company on April 13, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. MBE is engaged in research and development activities to offer an online complaint resolution platform for consumers and business, including ratings, reviews and polling’s. As such, its efforts to date have been devoted in building technology that enables access to this market through the development of a tangible product.

 

As explained in Note 7 to the condensed combined financial statements, on February 28, 2017, the Company and MBE and the shareholders of MBE who collectively own 100% of MBE entered into and consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to issue to the MBE shareholders an aggregate of approximately 5,248,626 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001, in exchange for 100% of equity interests of MBE held by the MBE shareholders. As a result of the share exchange, MBE became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gripevine.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the acquisition transaction has been accounted for as a common control transaction in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Common control transactions). The Company has evaluated the guidance contained in ASC 805 with respect to the combinations among entities or businesses under common control and conclude that since the majority shareholder of the Company and MBE are same, therefore, this is a common control transaction and do not result in a change in control at the ultimate parent or the controlling shareholder level.

 

Consequently, common control transactions are not accounted for at fair value. Rather, common control transactions are generally accounted for at the carrying amount of the net assets or equity interests transferred. Any differences between the proceeds received or transferred and the carrying amounts of the net assets are considered equity transactions that would be eliminated in consolidation, and no gain or loss would be recognized in the condensed combined financial statements of the ultimate parent. Resultantly, the financial position and the results of operations of Gripevine and MBE are combined together as if they were operating as one entity from the beginning.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND COMBINATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited combined financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of combined financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the nine months ended November 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2018.

Notes to Interim Condensed Combined Financial Statements

For The Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND COMBINATION (continued)

 

As explained above in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed combined financial statements, as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, the acquisition transaction has been accounted for as a common control transaction in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Common control transactions). Consequently, the condensed combined financial statements have been prepared as if the Company and MBE were a single organization by the aggregation of their financial statements from the beginning of the previous period and the elimination of transactions and balances between them.

 

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and as at November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017 had a working capital deficiency of $2,745,680 and $2,618,599, respectively and an accumulated deficit of $48,279,952 and $46,634,969 respectively. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued business development and additional debt or equity investment in the Company. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in the condensed combined financial statements. The condensed combined financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed combined financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at November 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 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 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

For The Three and Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

 

·

Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

·

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The Company's cash, which is carried at fair value, is classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of 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. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2017, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.

 

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement that an entity calculate the implied fair value of goodwill when measuring an impairment charge. Instead, an entity would record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its unaudited condensed combined financial position and/or results of operations.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY (continued)

 

Preferred stock

 

On April 20, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to its sole executive officer and member of the Board of Directors in consideration of his services performed during the year ended February 28, 2017. These preferred stocks contain certain rights and preference as detailed below:

 

·

·

Each holder of preferred stock shall be entitled to cast 200 votes.

 

The fair value of these 1,000,000 preferred stock amounting to $38,694,414 was determined by an independent valuation using the assumptions i. e. conversion value, control premium of 11.15% based on similar publicly trading companies, voting and sale/merger rights of the stock and stock price of $0.69. As the issuance of preferred stock related to past services, therefore, this amount was recorded as stock based compensation in the combined statements of operations during the previous year ended February 28, 2017. The charge relating to three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 amounts to $9,673,604 and $29,020,811.

 

Warrants

The fair value of these warrants was measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

 

· Forfeiture rate of 0%;

 

 

 

 

· Stock price of $0.12 per share;

· Expected life of 3 years; and

 

 

 

 

· Expected dividend rate of 0%

 

At grant date the fair value of these warrants were determined at $2,110,333. As the issuance of warrants related to past services, therefore, this amount was recorded as stock based compensation in the combined statements of operations during the year (fourth quarter) ended February 28, 2017.

 

As at November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2017, there were 18,275,000 warrants were outstanding, fully vested and with a remaining contractual life term of 2.00 and 2.75 years, respectively.

On November 27, 2017, the Company approved the issue of a second tranche of 120,000 options to a new Director of the Company pursuant to the Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants Stock Option Plan, under which it authorized 50,000,000 options.

 

As at November 30, 2017, the company has issued 5,606,500 options.

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated at the time of grant using Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

 

· Forfeiture rate of: Tranche 1- 0%; Tranche 2 – 0%

 

 

 

 

· Stock price of: Tranche 1 - $0.20 per share; Tranche 2 - $0.20 per share

 

 

 

 

· Volatility at: Tranche 1 - 291%; Tranche 2 – 259%

 

 

 

 

· Market price of: Tranche 1 - $0.20 per share; Tranche 2 - $0.20 per share

 

 

 

 

· Risk free interest rate of: Tranche 1 - 1.49%; Tranche 2 – 1.62%

 

 

 

 

· Expected life of: Tranche 1 - 5 years; Tranche 2 – 5 years

 

 

 

 

· Expected dividend rate of: Tranche 1 - 0%; Tranche 2 – 0%

 

 

 

 

· Fair value of options of: Tranche 1 - $0.20; Tranche 2 - $0.20

 

For Tranche 1, 50% of the grants will vest immediately and 50% will vest one year from grant date and for Tranche 2, 100% of the grants vest immediately.

 

All grants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities that correspond to the expected holding period of the options. The volatility was determined based on company’s historical stock prices. The expected forfeiture (attrition) rates were based on the position of the consultants receiving the options. The dividend yield was based on an expected future dividend rate for the period at the time of grant.

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

 

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Interim Condensed Combined Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

 

Overview

 

Gripevine, Inc., formerly known as Baixo Relocation Services, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 7, 2014. On May 31, 2016, Rosy Rodrigues (“Rodrigues”), our prior majority shareholder, sole executive officer and member of the Board of Directors, entered into those certain stock purchase agreements effective October 3, 2016 (collectively, the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with certain individuals and/or entities (collectively, the “Investors”). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreements, Rodrigues sold and transferred the control block of the Company consisting of 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at a per share price of $0.037, representing approximately 62.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock and resulting in a change in control. The Company operated as a relocation service provider for clients moving to the State of Goa, India. Effective February 28, 2017, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with MBE Holdings Inc., a private corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (“MBE”) and the shareholders of MBE (the “MBE Shareholders”), pursuant to which Share Exchange Agreement we acquired all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of MBE and MBE became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, an aggregate of 5,248,626 shares of our restricted common stock are to be issued to the MBE Shareholders in exchange for 157,458,778 of the total issued and outstanding shares of MBE. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, an aggregate 4,720,532 shares of our restricted common stock have been issued to the MBE Shareholders. See “Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds – Share Exchange Agreement”.

 

MBE was formed as a limited liability company on April 13, 2010, and subsequently converted into a corporation on August 3, 2012, under the laws of the State of Delaware. MBE is engaged in research and development activities to offer an online complaint resolution platform for consumers and business, including ratings, reviews and polling’s. As such, its efforts to date have been devoted in building technology that enables access to this market through the development of a tangible product. The Share Exchange Agreement resulted in a change in overall business operations of the Company bringing potential value to our shareholders. Following the Share Exchange Agreement, we ceased operations as a relocation service provider and engaged in developing and building an online resolution platform.

 

Since consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement resulting in MBE being our wholly-owned subsidiary, we have been involved in the ongoing development and marketing of “Gripevine”, which is a social customer experience platform for social customer service and consumer reviews. “Gripevine” includes a proprietary process to assist companies in resolving customer service complaints (the “Gripevine Proprietary Process” or “Gripevine”). The Gripevine Proprietary Process helps consumers achieve resolutions while enabling businesses to improve consumer loyalty. Our platform includes the handling of ratings, reviews, complaint resolution statuses while offering data collection features such as scoring, polling, comments, voting, and credibility points – all with the aim of creating a home for connections, resolution, business improvement, and loyalty enhancement. Consumers with legitimate customer service complaints can post it (“plant a gripe”) and connect with companies who in turn can interact with their customers on a level playing field to find an amicable resolution.

 

Unlike other review sites that cater specifically to accumulating and displaying consumer feedback, the Gripevine business model offers significant value to both consumers and businesses. Management of the Corporation believes that the Gripevine Proprietary Process brings fairness and balance by: (i) ensuring users are real; (ii) allowing companies to reach out and verify customer identity; (iii) flagging as fake those consumers who are not identifiable; and (iv) providing companies free access to their customers. Gripevine’s unique proposition in this social customer experience space is to create consumer-company connections in order to drive loyalty through efficient and effective handling of online customer feedback and commentary.

Plan of Operation

 

As at November 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $48,279,952 and we will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations. When we will require additional financing, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. We are pursuing various alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements.

 

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.

 

Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we generate sufficient revenues. There is no assurance we will ever reach that point. In the meantime the continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.

 

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We require approximately $150,000 for the next 12 months as a reporting issuer and additional funds are required. Before generation of revenue, the additional funding may come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock or loans from management or related third parties. In the event we do not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned operations or divest, your entire investment could be lost.

 

We have not paid any sums for public relations or investor relations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Please see Note 4 — “Recent Accounting Standards” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the effects of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To apply these principles, we must make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In many instances, we reasonably could have used different accounting estimates and, in other instances, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time and under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates and judgments of this type as critical accounting policies, judgments, and estimates. Management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended November 30, 2017 to the critical accounting policies reported in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of November 30, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reason described below.

 

Because of our limited operations, we have limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
