Going Concern and Liquidity

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

 

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $33,684,432 as of December 31, 2019, along with a net loss of $8,587,449 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $263,600 and a working capital deficit of $10,938,623. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt and equity financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we raised $2,177,452 in cash proceeds from new debt arrangements, raised $2,164,500 in cash proceeds from related parties, and received $825,000 from the sale of our common stock. Additionally, net cash provided by operations was $4,690,473 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

 

Since our acquisition of Wealth Generators in April of 2017 we have implemented a number of initiatives and we are beginning to see the positive impact of these actions. First, our largest subsidiary, Kuvera, has a bonus plan structure for distributors of our services which consistently paid out beyond our maximum threshold. Adjustments to this bonus plan have been made over the last 12 months. This resulted in a gradual reduction in bonus payouts which reduced our losses. Second, we expanded the objectives of Investview through the acquisition and creation of additional subsidiaries to increase our sources of income and creating business activities in new sectors which includes:

 

  Fully licensing SAFE Management LLC as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. This was done so SAFE Management could offer fully managed trading services to individuals who lacked the time to trade for themselves and provide reasonable advisory fees and minimum investment amounts to service individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors.
     
  We acquired the assets of United Games LLC and United League LLC which provided us highly experienced management, programmers, marketing and compliance personnel along with key technology components such as a fully coded back office and trademarked FIREFAN app. We are still in the process of adapting their technology to Kuvera operations and working on various distribution plans for FIREFAN.
     
  We changed the name of our subsidiary WealthGen Global, which was an unused entity, to SAFETek LLC in preparation for our entry into the high-performance computing space to meet the needs of 4IR (Fourth Industrial Revolution) business needs which includes mining, blockchain technologies, gaming, artificial intelligence and 3-Dimensional rendering. This will enable us to provide HPC services to small, medium and startup entities who require specialized high-speed processing but cannot afford the infrastructure. By leasing our processing to these companies, we will aid these entities in bringing their products, inventions, improvements to market.
     
  We have designed a program known as APEX which enables individuals to purchase highly customized data processing equipment which SAFETek will lease from the purchasers for a fixed period of time at a fixed monthly lease payment. This enables individuals to participate in emerging growth without experiencing the volatility and potential loss experienced in the sector.
     
  We have renamed our subsidiary Razor Data LLC to APEX Tek LLC. APEX Tek will be solely responsible for the sales and marketing of the APEX Package.

 

These companies provide Investview a stake in 4IR, HPC, app development, fintech, blockchain and personal money management sectors. Each of these are areas that are targeted for significant growth spurred by innovations through technology.

 

While our liabilities are larger than our assets it is important to note that we seek to keep operating expenses low. The assets we have acquired and will continue to seek out are those of technology, mobile apps, and human resources. These assets are not easily defined on our balance sheet but represent our ability to carry out our objectives which we believe will ultimately generating positive cash flow, reduced debt and then profitability.

  

Further, while we have reported reoccurring losses and have an operating capital deficiency, we have been able to establish multiple companies to create various revenue streams as we move forward. Our largest challenge is operational cash flow as lending arrangements continue to be expensive causing us to deploy incoming cash to prior debt. We continue to seek short term capital in arrangements that are partnership-based with elements of debt and equity combined. Additionally, our immediate focus is the continued reduction in losses by controlling expenses, increasing revenue, and generating additional revenue streams.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

 

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $46,382,174 as of March 31, 2020, along with a net loss of $21,285,191 for the year ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $14,123,625. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2020, we raised $4,484,979 in cash proceeds from related parties, $2,527,452 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements, and $825,000 from the sale of common stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we obtained $10,049,435 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements (see Note 13). Additionally, subject to a Securities Purchase agreement entered into in April 2020 we have a commitment from an investor to purchase a $9 million promissory note on or before October 31, 2020, subject to certain conditions.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the coronavirus will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the company. To date, the Company is experiencing challenges in multiple areas of the organization and the full economic impact is yet to be established.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2020 we made significant strides and wide sweeping changes. While we believe they will be beneficial to our bottom line, there is no assurance of this. Some of the concerns we face going forward will continue, including but not limited to:

 

  Supply chain issues for Apex Tek, LLC and the sourcing of miners due to the worldwide COVID pandemic and manufacturing slow downs
     
  SAFETek, LLC operations not scaling according to projections with decreased output due to mining difficulty and operational cost
     
  Regulatory reform that could adversely impact the use and demand of digital currencies
     
  The recent Bitcoin (BTC) halving event that further reduced mining output in addition to the supply chain issues

 

Apex Tek, LLC and SAFETek, LLC carry additional risk and generated recent losses, however, they also provide Investview a stake in 4IR, HPC, app development, fintech, blockchain and personal money management sectors. Each of these are areas that are targeted for significant growth spurred by innovations through technology which solidify our position in the fintech space.

 

While our liabilities are larger than our assets it is important to note that we seek to further reduce our operating expense. The assets we have acquired and will continue to seek out are those of technology, mobile apps, and human resources. These assets are not easily defined on our balance sheet but represent our ability to carry out our objectives which we believe will ultimately lead to positive cash flow, reduced debt and then profitability.
