Overview

 

Miso Robotics launched in 2016 to create the world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant for commercial kitchens. Automation is important for the restaurant and prepared food industries, which are struggling to make a meaningful profit due to the increase in labor cost.

 

The company is named after the foundation of miso soup, fermented soybeans. Fermentation is one of the first disruptive food technologies, leveraging the work of tiny microbes to provide massive improvements in nourishment at scale - reducing food waste, improving flavors, and unlocking more nutrition with less effort.

 

Miso now employs a respected team of roboticists, engineers and industrial designers from Caltech, Cornell, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, Olin, Harvey Mudd, Art Center, NASA, Tesla, and SpaceX.

 

Miso Robotics launched the first autonomous kitchen assistant, “Flippy”, in CaliBurger Pasadena in March 2018. Flippy’s first action in a commercial kitchen was to flip hamburgers. Burger patties are placed down by a human chef on the grill. Flippy uses AI to see the patties and flip them over at the proper time.

 

In the summer of 2018, Flippy was trained with a new skill: frying. Levy, a premium sports and entertainment hospitality company, piloted Flippy as a frying assistant from July 30, 2018, through the World Series of 2018 at the Chick ‘n Tots stand in Dodger Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Levy upgraded to Flippy in a mobile cart format at the start of the 2019 season. Flippy has helped stadium team members consistently cook and serve more than 50,000 pounds of fresh chicken tenders and tater tots to Dodger fans, producing up to 80 baskets of food per hour.

 

 

 

 

In the fall of 2018, Flippy was upgraded to a mobile cart that allowed commercial restaurants to roll Flippy into storage to clean equipment and floors according to their SOP.

 

In May of 2019, Flippy was upgraded once again with a smaller footprint and deployed to the home of Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

In 2019, Miso signed a commercial contract with CaliBurger worth $11,000,000. The contract is for the rollout of 100 Flippys across 50 CaliBurger locations in a new kitchen layout dubbed "CaliBurger 2.0” and is described in more detail below. In October 2019 as a part of this contract, Miso Robotics deployed two Flippys one at the grill and one at the fryer at CaliBurger's location in Ft. Myers, Florida. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Caliburger has significantly lowered its expansion plans, but is still planning to order Flippy for each of its locations.

 

In February of 2020 Miso Robotics unveiled “Flippy 2.0”, Robot on a Rail (ROAR). ROAR integrates the bot into a mounted rail system, allowing it to work on several tasks at once. This new system will require zero real estate footprint and is forecasted to reduce automation costs by an additional 50%.

 

In April of 2020 Miso announced a new AI-powered kitchen assistant tool, CookRight. CookRight uses computer vision to track order accuracy and aid kitchen staff in ensuring that all food is cooked perfectly. Alongside CookRight, kitchen staff have access to an intuitive, gamified dashboard that enables them to supervise multiple workflows simultaneously. In June 2021 Miso announced the commercial availability of CookRight.

 

In July of 2020 Miso entered into an agreement with White Castle to develop, pilot, and undertake a beta rollout of Miso Robotics' Flippy robot for the restaurant’s North American restaurants. White Castle piloted Miso’s Robot on a Rail (ROAR) system at a Chicago-area restaurant across Q3 and Q4 of 2020 and was the restaurant to utilize the ROAR system in a commercial environment. In October 2020 Miso and White Castle announced plans to expand their partnership, targeting up to ten new locations as part of a beta rollout of Flippy to the company’s North American restaurants.

 

In September 2020 Miso introduced a new software, ChefUI. ChefUI is run as a web-based application and displayed on a touchscreen monitor mounted on the ROAR system. It acts as the conduit between human and robot to work together and cook using the ROAR system.

 

Miso also made notable additions to the team across the past 12 months. First, in October 2020 the Company welcomed Mike Bell as its new Chief Executive Officer. Prior to joining as CEO, Mike was the COO at Ordermark, a restaurant technology company, where he led the enterprise sales function and its top-down go-to-market strategy. He also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors at Miso. Second, in November 2020 Miso named its first Chief Strategy Officer, Jake Brewer. Prior to joining Miso, Jake was VP of Restaurant Excellence at CKE Restaurants, the parent company for Carl’s Jr. restaurants, where he led customer experience, engineering, field training, and more.

 

In February 2021 Miso was granted its second patent related to the developed an automated kitchen assistant system that inspects a food preparation area in the kitchen environment using a novel sensor combination.

 

In June 2021 Miso announced its partnership with Lancer Worldwide – a global beverage dispenser manufacturer trusted by the world’s top food and beverage brands – to build an intelligence-backed, automated beverage dispenser that will bring enhanced functionality for commercial kitchens

 

Miso is continuing to develop its latest Flippy prototype as well as engage in business development efforts.

 

Operating Results

 

The company continues to produce minimal revenue as it ramps up product and business development activities. Our net revenue for this period was $0 (unaudited), compared to $75,500 in net revenue for the period ended June 30, 2020. However, the Company is in the process of changing its pricing model with key customers, from a higher upfront cost and lower monthly service fee, to a pricing model that is heavily weighted on a monthly service fee, with a lower upfront fee for delivery and installation. The Company plans to roll this out in the 4th quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, when it believes it will start to generate more consistent revenue from operations.

Principal Products and Services

 

Flippy

 

Miso Robotics uses a cloud-connected Miso AI platform that enables the Company’s autonomous robotic kitchen assistants to perform frying and grilling cooking tasks. The product is designed as a platform, with extensible skill sets that will enable the same robot to interact with new kitchen equipment over time (as those new skills are developed). In addition, Miso Robotics’ kitchen assistant product line has received full certification by NSF International for meeting sanitation standards for commercial kitchen equipment and secured an ETL Listed Mark by Intertek for meeting UL electrical safety standards.

 

Miso’s team of engineers has built proprietary algorithms in scheduling (action planning/optimization), trajectory planning (robotic movement), and computer vision. Each of these is crucial for the functionality of Flippy while also providing a barrier to entry against the competition. The accuracy of Flippy’s vision algorithms achieved 99.985% at Dodgers Stadium over the 3 months July-September 2019. More specifically, there was 1 vision error out of 6,625 baskets cooked. To date, Flippy has cooked more than 10,000 burgers and more than 175,000 pounds of fried food.

 

To remain easy to use by chefs within an operating kitchen, Flippy uses modern usability research and design to create a touchless cooking workflow, allowing cooks to never press a single button on the robot during regular cooking. Finally, Flippy is cloud-connected. Over-the-air upgrades allow for continuous improvement of the software/brains within Flippy.

 

 

 

 

The Kitchen Assistant improves and learns over time based on the data available. Ultimately, this frees up kitchen staff to spend more time with customers. The Company believes the future of food is on-demand, accessible, personalized, and scalable. Miso is building the technology platform leveraging automation, machine learning, and robotics advancements to deliver this future.

 

CookRight

 

An advanced AI platform that incorporates machine learning, sensors and computer vision, CookRight has served as the foundation of Miso Robotics’ flagship product, Flippy. The software allows cooks to track a food item on a grill and monitor cooking time automatically to deliver precision-level cooking. CookRight not only improves the cooking process but also assists in ensuring accurate order completion by simplifying tasks and providing operational assistance through an easy-to-navigate user interface that helps employees focus on customer service needs such as speed, accuracy and quality.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Miso Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 20, 2016 as Super Volcano, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company changed its name to Miso Robotics, Inc. on October  3, 2016. The Company develops and manufactures artificial intelligence-driven robots that assist chefs to make food at restaurants. The Company is headquartered in Pasadena, California.

 

2.GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $6,265,226 and $3,421,240 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,606,458. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company’s fiscal year is December 31.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuations of common stock and stock options. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held at one accredited financial institution. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $6,635,371 and $1,517,841, respectively, in excess of federally insured limits.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

 

·Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

·Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

The carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are derived from products and services delivered to customers and are stated at their net realizable value. Each month, the Company reviews its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on any known or perceived collection issues. Any balances that are eventually deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $63,491.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and accounted for using the specific identification cost method. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, inventory consisted of robotic raw materials purchased from the Company’s suppliers. Management reviews its inventory for obsolescence and impairment as it is determined necessary.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset, as follows: 

 

   Estimated Useful Life
Computer equipment and software  2 - 3 years
Kitchen equipment  5 years
Furniture and fixtures  5 years
Leasehold improvements  Shorter of lease term or 5 years

 

Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the balance sheet and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statement of operations loss in the period of disposal.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments (collectively known as “ASC 606”), effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach applied to all contracts. Therefore, the reported results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 reflect the application of ASC 606. Management determined that there were no retroactive adjustments necessary to revenue recognition upon the adoption of the ASU 2014-09. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

·Identification of a contract with a customer;

 

·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

·Determination of the transaction price;

 

·Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

·Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

 

The Company derives its revenue from hardware and software usage of its installed units as well as consulting services. Sales tax is collected on sales in California and these taxes are recorded as a liability until remitted.

 

Hardware

 

Each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recorded at the point in time when products are installed as the Company has determined that this is the point that control transfers to the customer. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the products, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing. Orders or set-up fees that have been paid but performance obligations have not been met are recorded to deferred revenue.

 

Software

 

Software as a service (SaaS) and usage fees are recognized as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized monthly over the life of the contract. Service fees that have been invoiced or paid but performance obligations have not been met are recorded to deferred revenue.

 

Consulting

 

Consulting services are recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation has been completed.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The following table presents the Company's revenue disaggregated by revenue source:

 

   Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   2021   2020 
         
   (unaudited) 
Consulting and services  $-   $72,500 
Software and usage fees   -    3,000 
   $-   $75,500 

 

Significant Judgements

 

The Company estimates warranty claims reserves based on historical results and research and determined that a warranty reserve was not necessary as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Contract Balances

 

The Company invoices customers based upon contractual billing schedules, and accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities represent a set-up fee prepayment received from a customer in advance of performance obligations met.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable included $0 and 45,285 in unbilled receivables, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of inventory sold, parts used in building machines for sale, tooling and supplies, depreciation of certain equipment, allocations of facility costs, and allocations of personnel time in assembly, installation, and servicing.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $9,210,000 and $571,000, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expense.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred.

 

Concentrations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 70% of the revenues were derived from a single, non-recurring agreement.

 

As of December 31, 2020, two customers accounted for 52% and 48% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

 

The Company is dependent on third-party vendors to supply inventory and products for research and development activities and parts for building products. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors. The loss of one of these vendors may have a negative short-term impact on the Company’s operations; however, the Company believes there are acceptable substitute vendors that can be utilized longer-term.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

 

Accounting for Preferred Stock

 

ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity (including equity shares issued by consolidated entities) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

 

 

 

 

MISO ROBOTICS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock as a result of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions in the agreement. Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative instrument. If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is not required. Management determined that the host contract of the preferred stock is more akin to equity, and accordingly, liability accounting is not required by the Company. The Company has presented preferred stock within stockholders' equity.

 

Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a discount to the preferred stock. The discount is not amortized.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Company issues stock-based awards with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method. The Company has not issued any stock-based awards with performance-based vesting conditions.

 

For stock-based awards granted to non-employee consultants, compensation expense is recognized over the period during which services are rendered by such non-employee consultants until completed. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to completion of the service, the fair value of these awards is remeasured using the then-current fair value of the Company’s common stock and updated assumption inputs in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

 

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

Net Loss per Share

 

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06. ASU 2020-06 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued AU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and has issued subsequent amendments to this guidance. This new standard will replace all current guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.

 

 

 

 

MISO ROBOTICS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

6.DEBT

 

Venture Debt

 

In September 2019, the Company issued six senior secured promissory notes (the “2019 Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,744,667. In 2020, the Company received an additional $889,982 (collectively the “Notes”) in proceeds from three additional notes with the same terms. Upon a vote of the majority in principal amount, the Notes are subject to automatic conversion upon an equity financing of common or preferred stock of proceeds of $2,000,000. Upon the future equity financing, the outstanding principal and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert at a conversion price of 80% of the lowest price per share of the equity securities sold in the future equity financing. The noteholders may elect to convert the principal and any unpaid accrued interest at any time into the type of equity securities issued in the Company’s most recently completed equity financing of proceeds of $2,000,000. The noteholders may convert the principal and unpaid accrued interest at a conversion price of 80% of the price per share of the equity securities sold in the completed equity financing. Prepayments are allowed, subject to various provisions, including an initial minimum payment amount of $500,000 and additional increments of $100,000. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Notes shall accrue interest at 13% per annum. The Notes are senior to all other debts and obligations of the Company, is collateralized by all assets of the Company. In conjunction with the Notes, the Company incurred fees of $6,703, which were recorded as a discount to the Notes and are amortized under the effective interest method to interest expense over the life of the Notes.

 

 

 

 

MISO ROBOTICS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature with respect to the voluntary conversion rights of the noteholders.
