Emotion Apparel, Inc. & Emotion Fashion Group, Inc.

 

On May 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of E-motion Apparel, Inc. (“EAI”) a California corporation, pursuant to a share exchange agreement whereby the Company exchanged 1.0 million of its common shares for 100% of the outstanding equity of EAI, in a third-party transaction. (This company shed this subsidiary as of September 30th, 2019 see below).

 

The Original EAI Transaction was accounted for as follows: The fair value of the 1.0 million shares of common stock issued amounted to $80,000. EAI owned four wholly-owned and majority –owned subsidiaries: Lexi Luu Designs, Inc, (a Nevada Corporation), Punkz Gear, Inc, (a Wyoming Corporation), Cleo VII, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and Skipjack Dive & Dance Wear, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), which together owns five microbrands that were included in this transaction and target specific niche markets: Lexi-Luu Dancewear, Punkz Gear, Cleo VII, Skipjack Dive & Dance Wear, and E-motion Apparel, Inc. The acquisition of EAI was accounted for under ASC 805 where purchase price was allocated based on assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date May 1, 2018, at the estimated fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company determined that the goodwill associated with the acquisition should be fully impaired, and as such was expensed during the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

On July 6, 2018, the Company incorporated an new Emotion Apparel, Inc. in the state of Utah and immediately re-named it as Emotion Fashion Group, Inc. (“Emotion Fashion Group” or “EFG”) and does business under the brand name, “Emotion Fashions.”

 

The EAI share exchange agreement included terms that the Company would provide funding of at least $200,000 in the first 12 months after acquisition and the Seller, who remained as manager, would produce revenues in excess of $1.3 million dollars over that period. The Company secured its investment with a secured line of credit and a landlord’s lien through one of its other subsidiaries. Those liens covered all of the intellectual property and physical assets of Emotion Apparel, Inc. On September 30, 2019 the Company effectively foreclosed on its liens taking possession of the assets including the brands; Lexi-Luu, Emotion Fashion Group, Punkz Gear and retuned the stock in Emotion Apparel, Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Seller. In the 4th quarter 2019 the Company plans to market those brands under new management as part of its consolidation of its acquisitions and utilize its Emotion Fashion Group, Inc, subsidiary that was incorporated in Utah in July 2018. As a result, the related accounts payable and accrued expenses which were payable by Emotion Apparel, Inc. which totaled $511,486 including $250,000 Note Payable, were offset to other income. For further details see Note 6 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and 9 Notes Payable for further details.

 

12 Japan, LTD.

 

After the initial acquisition of 12 Hong Kong, LTD during 2017 and the first half of 2018 the Company made several acquisitions including; 12 Japan, LTD. Subsequent to this acquisitions the Company took steps to consolidate the assets and streamline operations that effectively by the end the 3rd quarter 2019, this Company’s no longer function as independent subsidiaries.

 

12 Japan LTD, in order to streamline operations in the third quarter the Company closed the physical offices in Japan and while revenues continue to be generated in Japan through its flagship customer ITOYA it is serviced under a licensing agreement by 12 Hong Kong Ltd. Management believes that these changes will result in a profit for the Company, from operations in Japan beginning in the 4th quarter of 2019.

 

12 Europe, A.G.

 

12 Europe A.G. which was acquired in 2017 has underperformed against expectation. In the third quarter 2019 it was determined by management that the costs of continuing to support the expenses of an independent 12 Europe A.G., were unsupportable. Therefore, the Company reaffirmed its previous master representation agreement between 12 Hong Kong, LTD and Coppola, AG so that the software customers in Europe can continue to be supported and then closed its operations in Europe. On August 20, 2019, the Company had successfully discharged all of its debts associated with 12 Europe A.G., as part of the completion of the 12 Europe A.G., bankruptcy filing except for certain social benefit payments still owed approximately $35K by the Company. Therefore, this subsidiary is no longer in existence. Management does not consider this closure as a condition for discontinued operations as master representation agreement between 12 Europe is now been transferred to 12 Hong Kong and Coppola AG. As such, software customer in Europe will continue to be supported.
