RIGHT OF REPLY LTD

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of the Business

 

Right of Reply LTD (“ROR”) was originally registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2016.

 

ROR and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) was organized to develop and market a unique service that is at the same time a solution to a problem, a search engine, a social network, a service, an applied patent technology and the assertion of personal rights.

 

Through the Company’s unique high-value products, ROR empowers individuals to easily review, analyze and respond to biased or inaccurate content about them with timeliness and relevance.

 

On January 1, 2018, ROR acquired the 51% interest in BSS-ONE Dueenne Group (“Dueenne”), a software development company based in Romania. Dueenne, will soon be called ROR Software & Technology, and will be responsible to develop and maintain the Company’s platform, offering customer and call services. The 51% of Dueenne was acquired for 94,000 ordinary shares of ROR with a fair value of $10 per share, based on an estimated Initial Public Offering price per share.

 

ROR is a pay by subscription service, a system, and a technology which provides a rapid, effective, definitive, and a legally sound solution to a particularly sensitive problem: The problem of a person’s good reputation, or rather the negative effect on a person’s good reputation, when it becomes the target of various forms of web content. Whether the content be in the form of articles, images, videos, blog comments, web forums, etc., which can be damaging to a greater or lesser degree and to which it is often difficult or practically impossible to respond and/or obtain redress, ROR will provide the solution.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional financing to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology to compete with the Company. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of revenue is reasonably assured.

 

F-6
 

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income,” in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company has one item of other comprehensive loss, consisting of foreign translation adjustments.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company places its cash primarily in checking and money market accounts with reputable financial institutions. Deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are typically secured and are derived from customers around the world in different industries.

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. As of December 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance. As of March 30, 2018, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, loans and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans payable and notes payable. The carrying value of accounts receivable, loans and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximate fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

 

The functional currency of the operations of ROR is the British Pound. The functional currency of Dueenne is the Romanian New Lei (“RON”) Gains and losses, if any, resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are recorded in the statement of operations for the reporting periods as part of general and administrative expense. Included in general and administrative expense were foreign currency transaction losses of $1,713 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States (U.S.) dollar. The financial statements in functional currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the closing rate of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rate of exchange for the statement of operations. The capital accounts are translated at historical rate. Translation gains and losses are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income loss as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Furniture and Equipment

 

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of equipment are described below:

 

Property and Equipment   Estimated Useful Life
Computer hardware and networking equipment   Three to four years
Computer software   One to three years
Office equipment and other   Five years

 

F-7
 

 

The Company takes technology changes into consideration as it assigns the estimated useful lives, and monitors the remaining useful lives of asset groups to reasonably match the remaining economic life with the useful life and makes adjustments when necessary. Upon retirement or disposition of furniture and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

 

Inventory

 

The Company's inventories consist primarily of items held for resale such as devices and accessories. The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realized value. Inventory cost is computed on an average cost basis. Net realized value is determined by reviewing current replacement cost, marketability and obsolescence.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Ordinary Shares

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the periods presented and because the Company has no ordinary share equivalents, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $44,469, and $0.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of March 31, 2018 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance 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 in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Since the Company is an emerging growth company, this amendment will be adopted on January 1, 2019 and is not anticipated to have an effect on the financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The Update addresses eight specific changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities which are emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

F-8
 

 

On February 20, 2018 the company has signed two agreements with First Sentinel a London (UK) broker and investment banking firm to double list the Company on London Stock Exchange (standard listing) and for raising money for the Company at the same condition expressed in our actual and future registration statements and prospectus. 

 

From April 1, 2018 through May 15, 2018, the Company has raised $652,000 through the issuance of 87,000 shares.

 

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate additional revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would likely be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF DUEENNE

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 Business Combinations. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Costs to exit or restructure certain activities of an acquired company or the Company’s internal operations are accounted for as one-time termination and exit costs and are accounted for separately from the business combination. Restructuring and other acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Dueenne in consideration for 94,000 ordinary shares of ROR, with a fair value of $951,000.

 

The value of purchase price consideration will change based on fluctuations in the share price of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of Dueenne assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the transaction’s closing date:

 

Consideration    
Equity  $951,000 
Fair Value of Noncontrolling interest   914,000 
Acquisition Date Fair Value of Target   1,865,000 
Less: Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets   (44,000)
Total Goodwill   1,821,000 
Less: Goodwill - Controlling Interest   (929,000)
Goodwill - Noncontrolling interest   892,000 

 

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value:
    
Cash  $76,000 
Accounts receivable   219,000 
Inventories   30,000 
Deferred tax assets   9,000 
Property, Plant and Equipment   43,000 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (318,000)
Notes payable   (15,000)
Total identifiable net assets - Fair value   44,000 

 

F-9
 

 

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivable amounts. In evaluating the Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, the Company considers various factors including the age of the balance, the creditworthiness of the customer, which is assessed based on ongoing credit evaluations and payment history, and the customer’s current financial condition. As of March 31, 2018, the accounts receivable balance was deemed to be fully collectible.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has operations in both Great Britain and Romania. The tax rates in Great Britain and Romania are 19% and 16%. At March 31, 2018, the Company has trading losses in Great Britain, which is similar to net operating losses in the United States of approximately $1,092,000. The losses in Great Britain can be carried forward indefinitely, to offset future taxable income. Deferred tax assets would arise from the recognition of anticipated utilization of these net operating losses to offset future taxable income.

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Management considered projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The value of the deferred tax assets was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets in Great Britain.

 

The Company has income in Romania from the acquisition of Dueenne, which is similar to income in the United States of approximately $12,000. The Company has accrued taxes relative to this income in the amount of $756.

 

Income tax expense was $756 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read together with the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

 

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed combined staement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results following the business combination. The proforma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are as follows:

The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the fair value of Dueenne’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and conformed the accounting policies of Dueenne to its own accounting policies.

 

The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 does not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

The combined condensed pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 does not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the acquisition of Dueenne as a result of restructuring activities and other planned cost savings initiatives following the completion of the business combination.

Overview

 

 The Company was organized to develop and market a service that is at the same time a solution to a problem, a search engine, a social network, a service, an applied patent technology, the assertion of personal rights. Right of Reply is a pay by subscription service, a system, and a technology which provides a rapid, effective, definitive, and legally sound solution to a particularly sensitive problem: The problem of a person’s good reputation, or rather the negative effect on a person’s reputation when it becomes the target of various forms of web content, whether it be in the form of articles, images, videos, blog comments, web forums etc., which can be damaging to a greater or lesser degree and to which it is often difficult or practically impossible to respond and/or obtain redress. Right of Reply is the only service available which is innovative, patented, and above all effective in safeguarding an individual’s personal rights. Thanks to Right of Reply the freedom to express one’s thoughts, the right to personal identity, and the collective right of access to complete and updated information on the web regarding specific persons can all be protected in a way which is effective and incisive yet not contentious.

 

Although there are a variety of more or less specific laws which currently regulate and protect these rights, it is evident that those rules have only partially solved the problem. This is because, the rules effectively only apply to registered media, whereas on the web there are many other sources which publish content of every type without any kind of regulation or control; such content can be found easily by simply clicking on a search engine, it is available to everyone, it is accessed without any kind of filter or commentary, and above all it will remain on the web forever, unless it is removed as a result of specific action for which the outcome is generally uncertain and always costs time and money; the content is often anonymous, making it difficult to discover who to contact in order to demand that the content be either corrected or deleted; defending one’s personal reputation is undeniably time-consuming and costly, with the need to prove to the relevant authorities that it has indeed been damaged; a substantial period of time always passes from the moment an attack is published on the web to the moment it becomes possible, if this is even the case, for the victim to publish a rebuttal.

 

4
 

 

In all such cases the legitimate response never has the same weight or ranking in search engines as the original damaging or inaccurate content, since news which is negative, prejudicial and scandalous or which is presumed to be such is always the most clicked on, and therefore receives wider distribution and a more prominent position, whereas the rebuttal is rarely viewed by anyone and will remain on the last pages of the search. It will certainly not be linked to the original content that it was intended to contrast; in every case, even when a reply is published it is always in a different “timeframe” and with a different “prominence” from the content to which it is intended to respond, and this problem of disparity in timing and prominence currently has no solution. Furthermore, this question can also lead to legal action, costs and reputational problems for the main search engines who are often cited in litigation by the parties involved.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

 

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, in the amount of $425,421 and $17,528. 

 

Revenues/Cost of Sales

 

We had sales of $918,957 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The sales in 2018 were related to Dueenne, which was acquired on January 1, 2018. The associated cost of sales were $903,228.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $206,581 to $224,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $17,528 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The acquisition of Dueeenne has contributed to the increase in these costs and the Company is acquiring the services of consulting professionals to achieve its goals.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $164,955 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company is starting its ordinary marketing activity to achieve its objectives of market analysis and positioning of the products.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses were $44,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was a result of enhancements to the software programs.

 

Other Income

 

Other income was $1,810 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The other income was a result of the acquisition of Dueenne and consists of income from web design, web applications, mobile applications, logistics, SAP Business One, SAP Business One services, and the call center for Voice Over IP.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $8,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense relates to short-term notes payable that were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 21, 2018 we had cash on hand of approximately $750,000.

 

Net cash used in operating activities increased to $241,207 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6,555 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The change resulted primarily from the increase in the net operating loss offset by increases in prepaid expenses and accrued expenses – related parties.

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $123,926 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase resulted from advances to employees, loans receivable –related party and purchase of equipment offset by the cash acquired throught the acquisition of Dueenne.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $605,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase resulted from short-trem notes payable issued during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the sale of ordinary shares.

 

Through the acquisition of Dueenne, we have generated revenue, but prior the acquisition we have financed our operations through private offerings of equity securities. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

 

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the development of our platform, and execute the business plan. If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

 

The foregoing forward-looking information was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover, due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2018, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. There are no accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to reasonably ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The principal basis for this conclusion is the lack of segregation of duties within our financial function and the lack of an operating Audit Committee.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
