Corporate Overview

 

Life On Earth, Inc. (formerly Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc.) was incorporated in April 2013.

 

In October 2013, we signed a distribution agreement with Gran Nevada Beverage, Inc. (“Gran Nevada”), an entity related through common management and ownership. ownership.Theagreement provides us with the right to sell and distribute Gran Nevada's beverages in the United States with purchase prices at the then applicable wholesale prices charged to Gran Nevada's distributors. The agreement is wasforan initial term of five years with automatic renewals of successive five yearfive-year terms unless terminated. We initiated sales and distribution operations in March 2014. This agreement was renewed for an additional 5 years as per the agreement. During the years ended 2018 and 2019, the Company sold $506,581 and $73,592 respectively. These products were produced by a third party copacker and were not purchased from Gran Nevada. The decrease in sales from 2018 to 2019 was related to limited production capacity for the Gran Nevada Horchata that the company was producing. The availability of 3rd party copackers that can produce an Horchata are limited and it directly impacted the sales. As there is currently no copacking available for this product the Company does not know if they will be able to produce this product again in the future.

 

In July, 2016, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Energy Sources Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”) from its three founding shareholders. ESD provides wholesale distribution of specialty beverage products from its headquarters in Gilroy, California. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $450,000 in cash. We retained one of the selling founders as General Manager for a term of twelve (12) months pursuant to an employment agreement to manage operations at the ESD facility in Gilroy, California. ESD is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of ESD in July 2016 allowed LFER to expand distribution on the West Coast. On June 21, 2019, LFER made the determination to discontinue the operations of ESD and further focus on the brand portfolio. The operations of ESD wasdiscontinued in fiscal 2020 and will be reflected in future statements.

 

In October 2017, LFER acquired Victoria’s Kitchen, LLC ("VK"). VK is a specialty beverage company that makes exceptional European-inspired drinks. VK’s beverages are natural and all the beverages are Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan and contain no artificial ingredients or preservatives.

Sales and Distribution

KeHe has a  distribution network in more than 30,000 stores across North America.UNFI as well as independent distributors. is a distributor of natural and organic foods, specialty foods, and related products in the United States and Canada.

Brands sought by LFER is also actively seeking additional brands for its portfolio that are primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, all natural nonalcoholic functional beverages that are targeted towards LFERLFER’s active lifestyle consumers.

 

Production and Distribution

 

The Company Life On Earth, Inc. usesdoes not directly manufacture our products, as we outsource the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). After the product is manufactured, the finished products are stored in third-party warehouses. Other than minimum case volume requirements per production run, we do not have annual minimum production commitments with our co-packers. As we are using third party vendorsco-packers and do not have minimum production contracts in place, we could experience disruptions in our ability to outsourcedeliver products to our customers. We continually review our contract packing needs in light of regulatory compliance and purchase raw materials as well as contract manufactures (co-packers) its products. Theselogistical requirements and may add or change co-packers are independently owned and operated and function as a third party manufacturing partner in order fulfill the inventory needs of LFER’s brands.based on those needs. These co-packers are located in different geographic locations throughout the United States and currently the Company uses twomultiple co-packers. The material terms of these relationships are typically negotiated annually and include pricing, quality standards, delivery times and conditions, purchase orders, and payment terms. Payment terms are typically net 30, meaning that the total invoiced amount is expected to be paid in full within 30 days from the date the products or services are provided. We believe that we have sufficient options for each of our raw and packaging material needs, as well as our third-party distribution needs and also have long-term relationships with each of our suppliers and distributors, resulting in consistency in quality and supply. We also believe that we have sufficient breadth of retail relationships with distribution in both large and small retailers and independents and across multiple channels (mass, club, pharmacies, convenience, and small and large format retailers) throughout the United States.

 

The contractual arrangements with all third parties, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are typical of the beverage industry with standard terms. We have no long-term obligations with any of the third parties nor do any of them have long-term obligations with us. The third-party supplier, manufacturing and distribution agreements were entered into in the normal course of business within the guidelines of industry practices and are not deemed material and definite.

Competition 

 

LFER is functionala Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) company primarily focused in the beverage company.category. What sets us apart in the industry, is our consolidated corporate structure that handles all aspects of sales, marketing and proprietary distribution from a centralized location. The LFER platform is built for accelerating emerging growth brands in the United States by leveraging sales, supply chain, and distribution relationships. At LFER, we are forward-thinking. We have identified ways to build out distribution channels that are more flexible and responsive to today’s needs. Our innovations have given rise to distribution channels, which provide robust capabilities embedded in an extended enterprise.

 

We realize that by sharing resources and capabilities in novel ways with new products in new situations, we can take advantage of profit-making opportunities that individual companies could not exploit alone. Our creation of a more flexible and responsive distribution system is not only a concept; we have applied the practice through implementation with our own functional beverage brands.

 

The Consumers Packaged Goodsbeverage industry, specifically the healthy beverage industry, and the direct selling industries are multi-billion-dollar industries which are highly competitive. We face intense competition from very large, international corporations, as well as from local and national companies. In addition, we face competition from well-known companies that have large market is highly competitive especiallyshare.

The intensity of competition in the beverage category. Competitors infuture is expected to increase, and no assurance can be provided that we can sustain our market compete for brand recognition, ingredient sourcing, qualified personnel, distribution and product shelf space. As a developing company, a majority ofposition or expand our competitors are more established and better capitalized. The packaged beverage market is generally dominated by the largest beverage providers. business.

Many of our current and potential competitors enjoy significant brandare well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. However, we believe that, with our diverse product line, we will have the ability to obtain a large market share, and consumer confidencecontinue to generate sales and can readily secure shelf space and media attention for their products. Many of our competitors also have existing relationships with the same distribution channels and retailers through which we sell our products. We intend to compete in the market by offering consumers affordable products that taste better and possess a longer shelf life than most products in the market.industry.

The Company’s products are manufactured by contracted production facilities that are subject to many regulations, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.

 

The Company has not incurredResearch and Development Activities

Our research and development expensesefforts are focused on two primary paths. The first is to continually review our existing formulas and production processesand structure to evaluate opportunities for cost of goods sold improvements, without degrading the quality or fundamentally changing the consumer appeal taste profile of our existing products. The second major research and development effort is in the development of fundamentally new product development.and differentiated products, based on consumer insights and trends and competitive intensity in those segments. The Company’s mission to provide healthy functional beverages governs our development efforts.

 

Employees

 

The Company currently has 20 full-time5 full-time employees. Certain positions are being filled with paid independent contractors or insider owners who do not receive cash compensation but may receive stock compensation.compensation. In certain regions of the United States, we utilize the services of direct sales and distribution companies, which sell our products through their distribution channels. This can mitigate the need for a large sales and merchandising force. The Company also outsources its logistics to third-parties, which can reduce the need for employees in these roles.

 

Going Concern Qualification

 

Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $2,476,855 $8,007,035and $2,980,031$3,003,761 for the years ended May 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, has limited revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding business opportunities.opportunities and the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. At May 31, 2018,2019, we had cash on hand of $189,317$111,053 and an accumulated deficit of $6,271,434.($14,875,376). See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

Intellectual Property Protection

As of the date of this annual report, we have the trademarks for our intellectual property. The Company also has trademarks registered for the Victoria’s Kitchen and Just Chill brands.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Stamps Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and exemptions from the requirements of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

6

The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We will remain an “emerging growth company: until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion non-convertible debt in a three year period, (3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (4) when the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

” ).

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirements to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

Energy Source Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”) is Corporate Guarantor to the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company paid advisory fees to TCA in the amount of $350,000, through the issuance of 374,332 shares of common stock.

On June 14, 2017, LFER has initiated a lawsuit against TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (“TCA”). In the lawsuit, LFER has asserted five claims against TCA: (i) declaratory judgment (for application of Florida law, as opposed to Nevada law); (ii) usury; (iii) violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act; (iv) breach of contract; and (v) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Specifically, LFER seeks a declaratory judgment against TCA finding (i) the Nevada choice-of-law clause in the loan documents is invalid and unenforceable; (ii) Florida law applies and governs the loan documents; (iii) the loan documents are illegal, unconscionable, unenforceable, and usurious; (iv) any debt owed and stock issued pursuant to the loan documents should be cancelled and forfeited by TCA, and thus TCA is estopped from collecting such debt and stock; (v) monetary damages should be awarded in an amount according to proof; and (vi) reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs should be awarded.

TCA, not knowing LFER had sued it on June 14, 2017, sued LFER the next day on June 15, 2017. In the lawsuit filed by TCA, TCA has asserted four claims against LFER: (i) amount due on the subject debenture; (ii) amount due on the subject guaranty (only against guarantor Energy Source Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”)); (iii) foreclosure on security; and, (iv) breach of the subject securities purchase agreement. TCA seeks monetary damages of $952,323, plus default interest of 25%, attorneys’ fees and costs, and to foreclose on its purported first-priority, perfected security interest on the existing and future assets of LFER (and/or ESD, the guarantor).

TCA and Life On Earth Inc. entered into a binding settlement agreement, and on August 1, 2018, the court dismissed the case without prejudice.

 

There are no other legal or governmental proceedings that are presently pending or, to our knowledge, threatened, to which we are a party.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Stamps Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of sec on 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and exemptions from the requirements of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Sec on 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We will remain an “emerging growth company: until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion non-convertible debt in a three year period, (3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (4) when the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.(646) 844-9897.

 

GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION

 

Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses from inception of $6,271,434,$14,875,376 has limited revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company has negative working capital of $3,372,765 as of May 31, 2019. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding business opportunities. We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. This situation creates uncertainties about our ability to execute our business plan, finance operations, and indicates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for additional capital to support working capital needs. Therefore, currently, based upon our near-term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, management believes that cash on hand, excluding cash available under our line of credit, is not sufficient to enable us to fund operations for 12 months from the date the financial statements included in this Report are issued

At May 31, 2018,2019, we had cash on hand of $189,317$111,503 and an accumulated deficit of $6,271,434.$14,875,376. See “Liquidity“Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We baseThe discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgmentsbased on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe areto be reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change, andcircumstances, the best estimates andresults of which form our basis for making judgments routinely require adjustment. The amountsabout the carrying values of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods,that are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructurings, inventory and income taxes.readily apparent from other sources. Actual results couldmay differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. The followingMany of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances. There are certain critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates usedthat we believe require significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We have identified below our accounting policies that we use in arriving at key estimates that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is not a complete list of all of our accounting policies, and there may be other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard 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 to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model (as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report) to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.

Revenue consists of the gross sales price, less allowances for which provisions are made at the time of sale, and less certain other discounts, allowances, and rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from gross revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling charges are included in cost of goods sold.


Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is greater than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment is not required. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that asset. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded at the estimated acquisition date fair value. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of the contractual life or their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated. As part of the Company’s annual review of goodwill and intangibles we performed a detail analysis of the intangibles recorded as they relate to the acquisitions of JC and VK. Based on this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $725,000 related to the JC acquisition as of May 31, 2019. The Company also wrote off the goodwill recorded in the GBC acquisition, in the amount of $726,890, as part of the resale of the GBC business. The balance of goodwill as of May 31, 2019 is $195,000.

Trade Spend and Promotion Expenses

Throughout the year, we run trade spend and promotional programs with distributors and retailers to help promote on- shelf discounts to our consumers. Additionally, in more limited instances, we enter into customer marketing agreements or various other slotting arrangements. The provisions for discounts, slotting fees and promotion allowances is recorded as an offset to sales and shown net on the consolidated statement of operations. Estimates are made to accrue for amounts that have not yet been invoiced in the month that the program occurs, or in the case of slotting, when the commitment is made.

Inventory

Our inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods inventories, which are manufactured and procured based on our sales forecasts. We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include adjustments for estimated obsolete or excess inventory, on a first in-first out basis. We regularly review inventory detail to determine whether a write-down is necessary. We consider various factors in making this determination, including recent sales history, market conditions and remaining shelf life of materials and finished goods. The amount and timing of write-downs for any period could change if we make different judgments or use different estimates. We also determine whether a provision for obsolete or excess inventory is required on products that are over 12 months from production date or any changes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

 

Inflation

 

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

In addition, during the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company received proceeds from  various lines of credit in a n aggregate total of approximately $271,000 and repaid approximately $221,000.

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. This situation creates uncertainties about our ability to execute our business plan, finance operations, and indicates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for additional capital to support working capital needs. Therefore, currently, based upon our near-term anticipated level of operations and expenditures, management believes that cash on hand is not sufficient to enable us to fund operations for 12 months from the date the financial statements included in this Report are issued. In view of these conditions, our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on our ability to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. The consolidated financial statements included in this Report do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of May 31, 2019, the Company had negative working capital of $3,372,765.

We willrequire additional financing to support our working capital needs in the future. The amount of additional capital we will require, the timing of our capital needs and the availability of financing to fund those needs will depend on a number of factors, including our strategic initiatives and operating plans, the performance of our business and the market conditions for available debt or equity financing. Additionally, the amount of capital required will depend on our ability to meet our sales goals and otherwise successfully execute our operating plan. We believe it is important that we meet these sales objectives in order to lessen our reliance on external financing in the future. We intend to continually monitor and adjust our operating plan as necessary to respond to developments in our business, our markets and the broader economy. Although we believe various debt and equity financing alternatives will be available to us to support our working capital needs, financing arrangements on acceptable terms may not be available to us when needed. Additionally, these alternatives may require significant cash payments for interest and other costs or could be highly dilutive to our existing shareholders. Any such financing alternatives may not provide us with sufficient funds to meet our long-term capital requirements. If necessary, we may explore strategic transactions that we consider to be in the best interest of our company and our shareholders, which may include, without limitation, public or private offerings of debt or equity securities, a rights offering, and other strategic alternatives; however, these options may not ultimately be available or feasible when needed.

CASH FLOW

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash from sales of products, sales of shares, the issuance of a convertible promissory notes and linefrom lines of credit.

ESD’s sales were $1,477,419 lower during 2019 than in 2018.

The sales related to Gran Nevada Horchata for 2019 were $432,989 lower than in 2018.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure thethat information required to be disclosed by is in ourthe reports filed pursuant towe file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the metime periods specified in the Securities and Exchange CommissionCommission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officermanagement, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer,our Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) (“Disclosure Controls”) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We monitor our Disclosure Controls and make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls will be modified as systems change and conditions warrant.

As of May 31, 2018,2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and opera on of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 20182019 is a result of inadequate staffing and supervision within the accounting operations of our Company. The Company plans to expand its accounting operations as the business of the Company expands.expands

The agreement expired in July 2017.

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to (and we do not) have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”

 

Our Board of Directors has considered the independence of its directors in reference to the definition of “independent director” established by the NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2).

Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Life On Earth, Inc. (“LFER”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Energy Source Distributors Inc., (“ESD”), Victoria’s Kitchen, LLC (“VK”) and The Chill Group, LLC (“JC”). During 2019 LFER sold the Giant Beverage Company, Inc. (“GBC”) and their results are included as discontinued operations.

 

LFER was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013 and acquired ESD in July 2016, VK in October 2017, and GBC in April 2018 and JC in August 2018. The Company currently markets and sell beverages, primarily in New York and California.through third party distributors.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

  

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606 which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The core principle of the standard is to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company records revenuerecognizes sales of its beverage products, based on predetermined pricing, upon delivery of the product to its customers, as that is when persuasive evidencethe customer obtains control of an arrangement exists,the goods. We considered several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon delivery of products. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, we have a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risk and rewards of ownership at the time of delivery. Payment is typically due within 30 days. The Company has no significant history of returns or refunds of its products.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred,transferred to the salescustomer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation 


Because the Company’s agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisionconsideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts are included in cost of goods sold. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from Sales, net.Sales are  recorded net of provisions for discounts, slotting fees payable by us to retailers to stock our products and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances vary from customer to customer. The consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to distributors. The Company estimates these discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue.

All sales to distributors and customers are generally final. In limited instances the Company may accept returned product due to quality issues or distributor terminations and in such situations the Company would have variable consideration. To date, returns ishave not been material. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice. The Company offers prompt pay discounts of up to 2% to certain customers typically for payments made within 15 days. Prompt pay discounts are estimated in the period of sale based on the Company's historical return experience. Revenue is presented net of returns.

In March 2017, the Company discontinued an exclusive distribution agreementexperience with a vendor. In accordance with the distribution agreement, the Company received a “Termination Payment”, as defined, in the amount of $97,731, which wassales to eligible customers. Early pay discounts are recorded as other income duringa deduction to the year ended May 31, 2017.accounts receivable balance presented on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti -dilutive. As of May 31, 2019, and 2018, and 2017, warrantsand convertible notes payable could be converted into approximately 4,335,000 5,714,769and 730,0004,335,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

F-7

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under the accrual method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

 

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of May 31, 2018,2019, and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all share-based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value on the issuance date.

 

Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505, Equity. The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.

 


Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers allonly those investments which are highly liquid, investments with an original maturityreadily convertible to cash, and that mature within thre months from date of three months or lesspurchase to be cash equivalents.

 

At May 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $111,053 and $127,746 respectively. At May 31, 2019 and 2018, cash equivalents were comprised of funds in checking accounts, savings accounts and money market funds.

Restricted cash refers to money that is held for a specific purpose and therefore not available to the company for immediate or general business use. Restricted cash as of May 31, 2019 included $50,000 in an escrow account for the resale of GBC. There was no restricted cash as of May 31, 2018.

Accounts Receivable

 

Our accounts receivable balance primarily includes balances from trade sales to distributors and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based primarily on historical write-off experience. Account balances that are deemed uncollectible, are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining an allowancecustomers. A significant change in demand for potential credit losses. Uncollectible accountscertain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for obsolete inventory. Provisions for obsolete or excess inventory are written off at the time they are deemed uncollectible.recorded as cost of goods sold.

 

Accounts receivable is reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management's estimate of the uncollectible accounts receivable. As of May 31, 20182019, and 2017,2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $36,150and $14,000, and $0, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods and raw materialsmaterial which are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizable value.value and include adjustments for estimated obsolete or excess inventory. A significant change in demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for obsolete inventory. Provisions for obsolete or excess inventory are recorded as cost of goods sold. As of May 31, 2019 there was approximately $161,000 of finished goods and $71,000 of raw materials on hand.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation based on the useful lives of the assets using straight-line methods. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset have been charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from these accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense amounted to approximately $72,900$88,210 and $23,800$72,000 for the years ended May 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of goods sold.

  

F-8


Business combination

 

GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the acquisition method. The Company applies ASC 805, "Business combinations", whereby the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. The Company's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Any changes to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

 

Deferred Finance Cost

Deferred financing costs or debt issuance costs are costs associated with issuing debt, such as various fees and commissions paid to investment banks,Recent Accounting Pronouncementslaw firmsauditors, regulators, and so on. Since these payments do not generate future benefits, they are treated as a contra debt account. The costs are capitalized, reflected in the balance sheet as a contra long-term liability, and amortized using the effective interest method or over the finite life of the underlying debt instrument, if below de minimus.

 

Fair Value Measurements

In May 2014,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”,a new guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We have not opted to adopt this disclosure requirement early. We are assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended 2020.

We will categorize our financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that attemptsprioritize the inputs to establish a uniform basisvaluation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for recording revenueidentical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to virtually all industries’ financial statements. The Company must adoptunobservable inputs (Level 3). If the pronouncements no later than June 1, 2019. The revenue standard’s core principle isinputs used to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. Additionally, the new guidance requires enhanced disclosure to help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertaintymeasure fair value fall within different levels of the revenue recorded. Management does not believe thathierarchy, the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impactcategory level is based on the company’slowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated financial statements.balance sheets are categorized as follows:

Level 1 inputs—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs— Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 inputs—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are supported by little or no market activity and arevalued based on management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability


Recent AccountingPronouncements

   

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory. Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This amendment requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company adopted this amendment in the current fiscal year, and the implementation did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-2, "Leases" (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease assets, such as real estate and manufacturing equipment, to recognize assets and liabilities on their balance sheets for the rights to use those assets for the lease term and obligations to make lease payments created by those leases that have terms of greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount and timing of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures will include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU will be effective for public entities beginning the first quarter 2019. During 2019 the Company sold the Giant Beverage Company which resulted in elimination of the company’s lease obligation related to that operation. The remaining lease obligation related to Energy Source Distributors which was terminated on July 31, 2019 reducing the remaining terms of the lease to 2 months. The Company does not have any lease obligations with remaining terms greater than 12 months and therefore ASU 2016-2 Leases is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance to simplify the testing for goodwill impairment. The update removes the requirement to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the current goodwill impairment test. A company will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The guidance is effective prospectively for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard is required to take effect in the Company’s first quarter (August 2020) of our fiscal year ending May 31, 2021. We do not believe thatexpect the adoption of this ASUnew guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We have not opted to adopt this disclosure requirement early. We are assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ended 2020.

In November 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify the interaction between the authoritative guidance for collaborative arrangements and revenue from contracts with customers. The new guidance clarifies that, when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit-of-account, revenue from contracts with customers guidance should be applied, adds unit-of-account guidance to collaborative arrangements guidance, and requires, that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant who is not a customer, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under contracts with customers is precluded. The guidance is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassification 

F-9

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.


Note 2 - BASIS OF REPORTING AND GOING CONCERN 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred losses from inception of approximately $14,875,000, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $3,373,000 and a net capital deficiency of approximately $2,750,000, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt aboutthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2019, the Company did not have sufficient cash on hand to fund operations for the next 12 months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's plans to raise additional capital from the sale of stock and receive additionalloans from 3rd parties and relatedparties. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
