Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking statements. Statements that include words such as “may,” “will,” “might,” “projects,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “intends,” “hopes,” “aims,” “can,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “goal,” “potential,” “approximately,” “estimate,” “pro forma,” “continue” or “pursue” or the negative of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward-looking statements. For example, forward-looking statements include any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products, services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; statements of belief and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other documents referred to and relate to a variety of matters, including, but not limited to, other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of management, are not guarantees of performance and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future events and Verus International, Inc. (the “Company”) cannot assure you that the events or circumstances discussed or reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur. Furthermore, if such forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by the Company or any other person that the Company will achieve its objectives and plans in any specified timeframe, or at all.

These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on April 13, 2020March 19, 2021 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Explanatory Note

All references to shares of our common stock contained herein have been adjusted to reflect a 1-for-500 reverse stock split which was completed and became effective on January 13, 2021.

Organization and Nature of Business

Verus International, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to herein as “Verus,” “VRUS”, “Company,” “us,” or “we.”

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware under the name Spectrum Gaming Ventures, Inc. on May 25, 1994. On October 10, 1995, we changed our name to Select Video, Inc. On October 24, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Delaware Secretary of State whereby Webdigs, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with and into us and we changed our name to Webdigs, Inc.

On October 9, 2012, we consummated a share exchange (the “Exchange Transaction”) with Monaker Group, Inc. (formerly known as Next 1 Interactive, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Monaker”) pursuant to which we received all of the outstanding equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Monaker (“Attaché”) in consideration for the issuance of 93 million shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Monaker. Attaché owned approximately 80%80% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc. which is the parent corporation of RealBiz 360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, on October 3, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Delaware Secretary of State whereby RealBiz Media Group, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with and into us and we changed our name to RealBiz Media Group, Inc.

On May 1, 2018, Verus Foods MENA Limited (“Verus MENA”) entered into a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement with a purchaser (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which Verus MENA sold 75 shares (the “Gulf Agro Shares”) of Gulf Agro Trading, LLC (“Gulf Agro”), representing 25%25% of the common stock of Gulf Agro, to the Purchaser. In consideration for the Gulf Agro Shares, the Purchaser was assigned certain contracts executed during a specified period of time. Upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchaser obtained a broader license for product distribution. All liabilities of Gulf Agro remained with Gulf Agro.

Since August 1, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Verus Foods, Inc., an international supplier of consumer food products, have been focused on international consumer packaged goods, foodstuff distribution and wholesale trade. Our fine food products are sourced in the United States and exported internationally. We market consumer food products under our own brands primarily to supermarkets, hotels, and other members of the wholesale trade. Initially, we focused on frozen foods, particularly meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and french fries with beverages as a second vertical, and during 2018, we added cold-storage facilities and began seeking international sources for fresh fruit, produce and similar perishables, as well as other consumer packaged foodstuff with the goal to create vertical farm-to-market operations. Verus has also begun to explore new consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) non-food categories, such as cosmetic and fragrances, for future product offerings.

We currently have a significant regional presence in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) and sub-Saharan Africa (excluding The Office of Foreign Assets Control restricted nations), with deep roots in the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries, which includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The Company’s long-term goal is to source goods and generate international wholesale and retail CPG sales in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

In addition to the foregoing, since our acquisition of Big League Foods, Inc. (“BLF”) during April 2019, pursuant to which we acquired a license with Major League Baseball Properties, Inc. (“MLB”) to sell MLB-branded frozen dessert products and confections, we have been sellingsold pint size ice cream in grocery store-type packaging and are exploring novelty “grab-and-go” size ice cream in cone, bar, and sandwich versions under our frozen dessert product line.packaging. In addition, under our confections product line, we are sellingsold gummi and chocolate candies. The MLB license coverscovered all 30 MLB teams, and all of our current products pursuant to such license featurefeatured “home team” packaging that matchesmatched the fan base in each region. On December 18, 2020, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, BLF, entered into a letter agreement with ACG Global Solutions, Inc. and Game on Foods, Inc. (“GOF”), whereby for certain consideration, BLF sold, transferred, and assigned all of BLF’s rights, title, and interest in and to all of BLF’s assets to GOF. The assignments of our interests in the MLB and NHL licenses were completed on March 15, 2021 and March 25, 2021, respectively. Accordingly, we have classified the operating results and associated assets and liabilities from BLF as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (see Note 13).

Furthermore, during August 2019, we purchased all of the assets of a french fry business in the Middle East and during May 2020, we acquired a 51% interest of a Philippines-based maker of reusable N95 fabric masks and biohazard suits (see Note 7).East.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced during December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. During March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During certain periods of the pandemic thus far, a number of U.S. states and various countries throughout the world had been under governmental orders requiring that all workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or life-sustaining. As a result of these governmental orders, the Company temporarily closed its domestic and international offices and required all of its employees to work remotely. As economic activity has begun and continues recovering, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics. Furthermore, in light of variant strains of the virus that have emerged, the COVID-19 pandemic could once again impact our operations and the operations of our customers and vendors as a result of quarantines, illnesses, and travel restrictions.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on the Company’s employees, customers, and vendors, in addition to how quickly economic conditions and operations resume and whether the pandemic impacts other risks disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Even after the pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred as a result of the pandemic. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time. The Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic and may determine to take further actions that alter its business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, vendors, and shareholders.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuations of inventory, finite-lived intangible assets, accrued expenses, valuation of derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation and the valuation reserve for income taxes.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to enhance comparability with the current period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, presentation of certain items within the unaudited consolidated balance sheets, unaudited statements of operations, unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, and certain notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Since surfacing in December 2019 and being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic could further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of its customers, suppliers, and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, illnesses, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places itsmaintains cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances inDeposits held with the Company’s cash accountsfinancial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. At Julyon such deposits, but may be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company monitors the credit quality of its customers as well as maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Risk

The Company’s food products accounts receivable, net and revenues are geographically concentrated with customers located in the GCC countries. In addition, significant concentrations exist with a limited number of customers. Approximately 43%69% of accounts receivable, net as ofat July 31, 20202021 were concentrated with fournine customers and approximately 55%69% of revenue for the nine-monthsnine months ended July 31, 20202021 were concentrated with sixeight customers. Although the loss of one or more of our top customers, or a substantial decrease in demand by any of those customers for our products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, such risks may be mitigated by our access to credit insurance programs.

Supplier Risk

The Company purchases substantially all of its food products from a limited number of regions around the world or from a limited number of suppliers. Increases in the prices of the food products which we purchase could adversely affect our operating results if we are unable to offset the effect of these increased costs through price increases, and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to pass along such increased costs to our customers. Furthermore, if we cannot obtain sufficient food products or our suppliers cease to be available to us, we could experience shortages in our food products or be unable to meet our commitments to customers. Alternative sources of food products, if available, may be more expensive. For periods in which the prices are declining, the Company may be required to write down its inventory carrying cost which, depending on the extent of the differences between market price and carrying cost, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position. Approximately 61%87% of accounts payable as ofat July 31, 20202021 were concentrated with fiveseven suppliers and approximately 49%68% of cost of revenue for the nine-monthsnine months ended July 31, 20202021 were concentrated with sixeight suppliers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at July 31, 20202021 or October 31, 2019.2020. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. At July 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company’s cash balances did not exceed the FDIC limit.

Accounts Receivable

The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. At July 31, 20202021 and October 31, 2019,2020, the Company determined there was no requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of net realizable value or cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and transportation. Inventories consist of raw materials (film and packaging) and finished products.

Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes its twoone intangible assets, a license with Major League Baseball Properties, Inc., andasset, certain acquired customer contracts, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful liveslife of the assets.asset.

Property and Equipment

All expenditures on the acquisition for property and equipment are recorded at cost and capitalized as incurred, provided the asset benefits the Company for a period of more than one year. Expenditures on routine repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are charged directly to operating expense. The property and equipment is depreciated based upon its estimated useful life after being placed in service. Leasehold improvements are depreciated based upon the remaining term of the related lease. The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 7 years based upon asset class. When an asset is retired, sold or impaired, the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures itsaccounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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.

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, due from affiliates, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities.and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of short and long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. At July 31, 2021, the Company had a Level 3 financial instrument related to its derivative liability.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue is derived from the sale of foodconsumable and beveragenon-consumable products. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. In the event any discounts, sales incentives, or similar arrangements are agreed to with a customer, such amounts are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue (see Note 8)7).

A contract asset is recognized for incremental costs to obtain a customer contract that are recoverable, otherwise such incremental costs are expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped are included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 was $639,757and 2019 was $732,691 and $322,590,$732,691, respectively.

Customer Deposits

From time to time the Company requires prepayments for deposits in advance of delivery of products. Such amounts are initially recorded as customer deposits. The Company recognizes such revenue as it is earned in accordance with revenue recognition policies.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company computes share based payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grants. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants by using the Black-Scholes option pricingvaluation model.

Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as well as related interpretations of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes.

Convertible Debt Instruments

The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company has one non-U.S. subsidiary, where the functional currency is the United Arab Emirates dirham (“AED”). The Company’s foreign subsidiary maintains its records using local currency. The related assets and liabilities of this non-U.S. subsidiary have been translated using end of period exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical exchange rates to the U.S. dollar. Income and expense items were translated using average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments, net of income taxes, are reported as other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity in accordance with ASC 220 – Comprehensive Income.

Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year-to-year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

ASC 740 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company’s tax returns for its October 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 20172018 tax years may be selected for examination by the taxing authorities as the statute of limitations remains open.

The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices for the tax years ended October 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Earnings Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included. The effect of contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020,2021 and for the three months ended July 31, 2019,2020, as we incurred a net loss for those periods. At July 31, 2020,2021, there were outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 1.3 billion2,620,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, approximately 72 million194,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A and Series C convertible preferred stock, approximately 228,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued, and approximately 1.9 billion16,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable which may dilute future EPS. At July 31, 2019, 2020, there were outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 643 million2,620,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, approximately 88 million144,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of seriesSeries A and seriesSeries C convertible preferred stock, approximately 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued, and approximately 12 million3,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable which may dilute future EPS.

Modification/Extinguishment of Debt

In accordance with ASC 470, a modification or an exchange of debt instruments that adds or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange is considered a substantive change and is measured and accounted for as extinguishment of the original instrument along with the recognition of a gain or loss. Additionally, under ASC 470, a substantive modification of a debt instrument is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. A substantive modification is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original instrument along with the recognition of a gain or loss.

Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

A significant portion of the Company’s ongoing operations are related to the international food industries, and its prospects for success are tied indirectly to interest rates and the worldwide demand for the Company’s food and beverage products.

Segment Reporting

Although the Company has a number of operating divisions, separate segment data has not been presented, as they meet the criteria for aggregation as permitted by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective November 1, 2019,2020, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 842,ASU 2018-13, LeasesFair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASC 842”), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liabilitymodified the disclosure requirements on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognitionfair value measurements in the income statement. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach as of the effective date of the new standard. Consequently, financial information has not been updated and the disclosures required under the ASC 842 have not been provided for dates and periods before November 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification, not reassess prior conclusions related to expired or existing contracts that are or that contain leases, and not reassess the accounting for initial direct costs. Upon adopting ASC 842 on November 1, 2019, the Company recognized a ROU asset of $174,241 and a corresponding lease liability of $188,792 pertaining to the Company’s corporate office lease. The lease liability was measuredTopic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the present valueconcepts in the Concept Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

During August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, to modify and simplify the application of U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The standard is effective for the Company as of November 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing the impact of this guidance but does not currently expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concept Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The standard is effective for the Company as of November 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $11,146,322$1,456,789 and negative cash flows from continuing operations of $1,869,926$729,872 for the nine months ended July 31, 2020.2021. At July 31, 2020,2021, the Company had a working capital deficitsurplus of $332,364,$309,820, and an accumulated deficit of $39,640,912.$45,621,918. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this report, without additional debt or equity financing. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months from the date of this report and to fund the growth of the foodour business, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt. Although the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet its cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital will also be impacted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which such ability is highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

NOTE 4: PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses total $399,133$84,518 and $65,749$170,874 at July 31, 20202021 and October 31, 2019,2020, respectively, and consist mainly of prepaid advertising, prepaid insurance,rent, prepaid consulting, and deposits on purchases.

NOTE 5: LEASES

TheAt July 31, 2021, the Company has twowas party to one operating leases one for its corporate office in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and one for its domestic warehouse operations in Stafford, Texas. Effective February 8, 2021, the Company terminated the operating lease for its corporate office and Gaithersburg, Maryland and entered into a new, short-term lease. The Company also has a short-term lease for office space in Dubai, UAE.

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component based on the component’s relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in ASC 842.

At lease commencement, the Company records a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding ROU asset is recorded, measured based on the initial measurement of the lease liability. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

NOTE 10: 9: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operation as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

The derivative liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from October 31, 20192020 to July 31, 2020. 2021.

The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of the convertible instrument granted under the binomial pricing model with a binomial simulation at July 31, 2020:2021:

Expected volatility  235.9% 126.1% - 781.3%

Stock price $0.003  $0.07 

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

At July 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

NOTE 11:10: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT) (continued)

Common Stock Warrants

On April 29, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “2020 Employment Agreement”) with its Chief Executive Officer, whereby the 2020 Employment Agreement amended and restated the prior employment agreement dated January 31, 2017 (the “2017 Agreement”).

Under the provisions of the 2017 Agreement, the Company was committed to issue warrants to its Chief Executive Officer to purchase shares of its common stock as follows:

For each $1 million in revenue generated by the Company, a warrant to purchase 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.006 per warrant will be granted, until such time as the Chief Executive Officer owns 20% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock.
At the beginning of each calendar year, a warrant to acquire 3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be granted.

These provisions were amended and replaced in the 2020 Employment Agreement with the one-time grant of warrants to purchase 471,883,795 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.006 per share. This one-time grant of warrants increased the Chief Executive Officer’s ownership to 20% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis, which is consistent with the intentions of the Company’s Board of Directors and with the Company’s former management.

The Company estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the following assumptions for warrants earned during the nine months ended July 31, 2020:

Expected volatility194.54% - 399.10%
Weighted-average volatility122.01%
Expected dividends0%
Expected term (in years)5.0

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for our fiscal year ended October 31, 20192020 found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on AprilMarch 19, 2021.

Explanatory Note

All references to shares of our common stock contained herein have been adjusted to reflect a 1-for-500 reverse stock split which was completed and became effective on January 13, 2020.2021.

Overview

Since August 1, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Verus Foods, Inc. (“Verus Foods”), an international supplier of consumer food products, have been focused on international consumer packaged goods, foodstuff distribution and wholesale trade. Our fine food products are sourced in the United States and exported internationally. We market consumer food products under our own brand primarily to supermarkets, hotels and other members of the wholesale trade. Initially, we focused on frozen foods, particularly meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and french fries with beverages as a second vertical, and in 2018, we added cold-storage facilities and began seeking international sources for fresh fruit, produce and similar perishables, as well as other consumer packaged foodstuff with the goal to create vertical farm-to-market operations. We have also begun to explore new consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) non-food categories, such as cosmetic and fragrances, for future product offerings.

We currently have a significant regional presence in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) and sub-Saharan Africa (excluding The Office of Foreign Assets Control restricted nations), with deep roots in the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) countries, which includes the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Our long-term goal is to source goods and generate international wholesale and retail CPG sales in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

In addition to the foregoing, since our acquisition of Big League Foods, Inc. (“BLF”)BLF during April 2019, pursuant to which we acquired a license with Major League Baseball Properties, Inc. (“MLB”)MLB to sell MLB-branded frozen dessert products and confections, we have been sellingsold pint size ice cream in grocery store-type packaging and are exploring novelty “grab-and-go” size ice cream in cone, bar, and sandwich versions under our frozen dessert product line.packaging.

The assignments of our current products pursuant to such license feature “home team” packaging that matchesinterests in the fan base in each region.MLB and NHL licenses were completed on March 15, 2021 and March 25, 2021, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, potential impairment of intangible assets, accrued liabilities and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in Note 2 above and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 13, 2020March 19, 2021 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of July 31, 2020,2021, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

We have based our estimate on assumptionsImpact of COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced during December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. During March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During certain periods of the pandemic thus far, a number of U.S. states and various countries throughout the world had been under governmental orders requiring that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds soonerall workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our securities, debt or other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan.life-sustaining. As a result we mayof these governmental orders, the Company temporarily closed its domestic and international offices and required all of its employees to work remotely. As economic activity has begun and continues recovering, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics. Furthermore, in light of variant strains of the virus that have to significantly limitemerged, the COVID-19 pandemic could once again impact our operations and the operations of our business,customers and vendors as a result of quarantines, illnesses, and travel restrictions.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations wouldwill depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on the Company’s employees, customers, and vendors, in addition to how quickly economic conditions and operations resume and whether the pandemic impacts other risks disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Even after the pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred as a result of the pandemic. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time. The Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic and may determine to take further actions that alter its business operations as may be materially harmed.required by federal, state, or local authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, vendors, and shareholders.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 20202021 to determine whether our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2020.2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

On February 25, 2020, the court issued a decision dismissing the securities laws and unjust enrichment and breach of fiduciary duty claims and retaining the breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith, fraud and deceit, and negligent misrepresentation-and the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act claims. The Company filed its Answer to the complaint on March 10, 2020. The case remains pending in the District of Massachusetts. This case stems from a securities purchase agreement and convertible note issued in May 2017, a securities purchase agreement and convertible note issued in July 2018, the spin-off of the Company’s real estate division into NestBuilder including the issuance of shares of NestBuilder in the spin-off to the Company’s stockholders and an inducement agreement, release and payoff agreement executed by the parties in February 2019 whereby the Company settled the balance of outstanding amounts owed to Auctus in consideration for cash and shares of NestBuilder.
