Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), formerly known as Quick Start Holdings, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company,” or the “Registrant”), was incorporated on September 4, 2018 in the State of Delaware.

 

USSE Corp.Description of Business

The Company is focused on growing and USSE Delaware Mergerincubating innovative and profitable products into mature, dominant brands. In March 2020, the Company commenced business operations as a result of becoming the exclusive distributor of certain electronic nicotine delivery systems and related components (the “Products”) manufactured by Bidi Vapor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Bidi”), a related party company that is also owned by Nirajkumar Patel, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Bidi, a related party company, which Distribution Agreement was amended and restated on May 21, 2020 and again on April 20, 2021 (collectively the “A&R Distribution Agreement”) in order to clarify some of the provisions. Pursuant to the A&R Distribution Agreement, Bidi granted the Company an exclusive worldwide right to distribute the Products for sale and resale to both retail level customers and non-retail level customers. Currently, the Products consist primarily of the “Bidi Stick” and, once launched, the “Bidi Pouch”.

In connection with the A&R Distribution Agreement, the Company entered into non-exclusive sub-distribution agreements, some of which were subsequently amended and restated by the parties in order to clarify certain provisions (all such agreements, as amended and restated, are collectively referred to as the “A&R Sub-Distribution Agreements”), whereby the Company appointed the counterparties as non-exclusive sub-distributors. Pursuant to the A&R Sub-Distribution Agreements, the sub-distributors agreed to purchase for resale the Products in such quantities as they should need to properly service non-retail customers within the continental United States (the “Territory”).

 

USSE Corp., a Nevada Corporation (“USSE Corp.”), was incorporated withOn August 31, 2020, the Nevada Secretary of State on July 8, 1998 under the original name C&A Restaurants, Inc. (“C&A Restaurants”). On June 15, 2009, C&A Restaurants changed its name to USSE Corp.

Effective September 19, 2018, USSE Corp. re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware pursuant to a merger of USSE Corp. with and into USSE Delaware,Company formed Kaival Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Delaware” or “Predecessor”(herein referred to as “Kaival Labs”), with USSE Delawareas a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.


Recent Developments

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the surviving entity (the “Re-domestication Merger”). Each sharevirus spread globally beyond its point of USSE Corp.’s capital stock issuedorigin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure.

Our operations have not been significantly impacted. No impairments have been recorded and outstanding immediately priorno triggering events or changes in circumstances had occurred. While the spread of COVID-19 has begun to slow and social restrictions have begun to ease, the effective datefull impact of the Re-domestication Merger was automatically converted into one fully paidCOVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and nonassessable share of USSE Delaware.

Immediately followingremains uncertain. As such, the Re-domestication Merger, USSE Delaware was authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding at such date; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding at that date; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 Convertible Series B preferred shares were issued and outstanding at that date.

Holding Company Reorganization

On September 4, 2018, USSE Delaware acquired 1,000 shares of common stockfull magnitude of the Company, which represented 100% ofCOVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting impact, if any, on the Company’s then-outstanding sharesfinancial condition, liquidity, and future results of common stock,operations is uncertain. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and customers. Reduced demand for no consideration, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware. Also, immediately priorproducts or impaired ability to the Holding Company Reorganization (as defined below), USSE Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Merger Sub”), was our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Effective on September 19, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), USSE Delaware, our then parent, merged with and into USSE Merger Sub, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware and our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, with USSE Delaware as the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Holding Company Reorganization”). At the Effective Time, andmeet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at the Holding Company Reorganization,Company’s suppliers) could have a material adverse effect on its business operations and financial performance. Given the separate corporate existence of USSE Merger Sub ceased, and USSE Delaware changed its name to USSE Corp., which then became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Holding Company Reorganization also resulted in the conversion of securities of USSE Delaware into identical and equivalent securitiesdaily evolution of the CompanyCOVID-19 pandemic and the stockholders of USSE Delaware becameglobal responses to curb its spread, the stockholdersCompany is not presently able to estimate the effects of the Company.COVID-19 pandemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the current fiscal year. As of the date of this filing, the Company’s recently commenced business operations have not been materially impacted, however, we have encountered some logistical delays related to product launches and distribution in international markets.

The consolidated financial statements include the Holding Company Reorganization, by virtue of the merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of USSE Delaware’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Holding Company Reorganization was automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable sharefinancial statements of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, each share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s preferred stock, having the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the qualifications, limitation, and restrictions thereof, as the corresponding share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock. 

Additionally, any shares held by the Company in the Predecessor were cancelled. This resulted in the Company being authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding.wholly-owned subsidiary, Kaival Labs.

Post-Holding Company Reorganization

On October 19, 2018, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 400,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock to GMRZ Holdings LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GRMZ”) for services rendered to the Company.

Commensurate with the filing of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 22, 2018, every issued and outstanding share of Convertible Series A preferred stock was converted into 1.25 shares of common stock with shareholders’ economic rights preserved. Additionally, at the same time, every share of Convertible Series B preferred stock, issued and outstanding was converted into ten shares of common stock with stockholders’ economic rights adversely affected in the conversion. Immediately following the conversion of the aforementioned shares, and upon filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized and unissued shares of Convertible Series A and Convertible Series B preferred stock were cancelled. As of October 22, 2018, Convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock were removed from the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock.

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into a non-binding Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, GMRZ, and Kaival Brands Innovations Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KBIG”), pursuant to which, on February 20, 2019, GMRZ sold 504,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, representing approximately 88.06 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to KBIG, and KBIG paid GMRZ consideration in the amount set forth in the Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with KBIG becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder. The sole members of KBIG are Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the members of KBIG.

Currently, we have 572,364,574 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. KBIG, which is owned and controlled by Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser, is our controlling stockholder, owning 504,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock.

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company demonstrates adversemeasures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (share-based payments, or SBP) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which a recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the SBP award—the requisite service period (vesting period). For SBP awards subject to conditions, compensation is not recognized until the performance condition is probable of occurrence. The grant-date fair value of share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Compensation expense for SBP awards granted to nonemployees is remeasured each period as the underlying options vest.

The fair value of each option granted during the period ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the weighted average assumptions in the following table:

   2021   2020 
Expected dividend yield  0%   
Expected option term (years)  10    
Expected volatility  301.53%   
Risk-free interest rate  1.62%   

The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that raise substantial doubt aboutoptions granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility was based on the Company's ability to continue as a going concernvolatility in the trading of the Company’s common stock. The assumed discount rate was the default risk-free five-year interest rate for one year following the issuance of these financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expensesadopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessaryCustomers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), in the eventsecond quarter of fiscal year 2020, as this was the first quarter that the Company cannot continuegenerated revenues. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a going concern.performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. In addition, the Company accounts for rebates and volume discounts that customers will be using to purchase products in the future.

Products Revenue

The Company generates products revenue from the sale of the Products (as defined above) to non-retail customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time based on management’s evaluation of when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied and control of the Products has been transferred to the customer. In most situations, transfer of control is considered complete when the products have been shipped to the customer. The Company determined that a customer obtains control of the Product upon shipment when title of such product and risk of loss transfer to the customer. The Company’s shipping and handling costs are fulfillment costs and such amounts are classified as part of cost of sales. The Company offers credit sales arrangements to non-retail (or wholesale) customers and monitors the collectability of each credit sales periodically.

The Company does not have financing leases and only one operating lease for office space. The operating lease is for a term of five years, beginning August 1, 2020, with rent of $1,000 payable monthly. As the operating lease does not provide for an implicit interest rate, we estimated a current borrowing rate of 4.5% in determining the present value of the lease. As of April 30, 2021, the right-to-use (“ROU”) lease asset, net of accumulated amortization, was $62,882. The initial recognition of the ROU operating lease was $73,749 for both the ROU asset and ROU liability. The amortization expense for ROU asset for the twelve months ended October 31, 2020 was $3,616 and one payment on the ROU liability was $2,836. The amortization expense for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $7,905 and two payments on the ROU liability were $6,345. At April 30, 2021, short-term ROU lease liability was $12,363 and long-term liability was $52,859, totaling $65,222. Operating lease expense totaling $9,000 for November 1, 2020 until April 2021 was accrued at April 30, 2021.

Note 59 – Subsequent Events

 

Management has reviewed financial transactions forPatent Contribution Agreement

On May 4, 2021, Next Generation Labs, LLC (“Next Generation”) notified the Company subsequentthat a “reversion event” had occurred under that certain Patent Contribution Agreement, dated September 28, 2020 (the “Patent Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to January 31, 2019the Patent Contribution Agreement, Next Generation agreed to contribute certain patents, patent applications, and has found that, withpatent data, described on Exhibit “A” of the exception of a contribution by Eric MosserPatent Contribution Agreement (the “Patents”), to the Company and the Company would subsequently transfer the Patents to Kaival Labs.

Pursuant to the Patent Contribution Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Next Generation a purchase price of $3 million for the Patents (the “Purchase Price”), which was expected to be paid over-time upon two events. First, the Company expected to pay part of the Purchase Price from proceeds generated from a future securities offering (the “Offering Payment”). Additionally, on the first date that Kaival Labs sold a product that was developed using any portion of the Patents or based on the Patents, the Company agreed to pay Next Generation the difference between the Purchase Price and the Offering Payment.

Pursuant to the terms of the Patent Contribution Agreement, the parties agreed that the Company would file a Form 1-A offering statement no later than January 31, 2021, unless extended in writing by the Company in good faith to no later than March 15, 2021 (the “Filing Date”). The Patent Contribution Agreement further provided that in the amountevent the Company or Kaival Labs materially breached the terms of $600the Patent Contribution Agreement and the material breach is not cured within fifteen (15) business days after Next Generation provides written notice of such material breach, then a reversion event would occur, and the Patents would revert from Kaival Labs to Next Generation.

The Company did not undertake a securities offering by filing a Form 1-A offering statement by the Filing Date. The Company attempted to negotiate an amendment to the Patent Contribution Agreement, which would allow the Company additional time to undertake a securities offering. However, on April 14, 2019, which contribution is to be used for accounting expenses, there was nothing material to disclose.  This is considered to be a contribution to8, 2021, Next Generation notified the Company with no expectationthat it was in material breach of repayment.the Patent Contribution Agreement and that the Company would have fifteen (15) business days, or April 30, 2021, to cure such breach. Ultimately, the Company decided not to cure such breach within the requisite time and, on May 4, 2021, Next Generation notified the Company that a reversion event occurred.

The Company is in the process of completing the necessary documentation to transfer the Patents from Kaival Labs to Next Generation. Neither the Company, nor Kaival Labs, has developed or otherwise relied on the Patents to date and does not expect the reversion of the Patents to materially affect the Company’s business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide a reader of the financial statements with a narrative report on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited Financial Statements and notes thereto for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 included under Item 1 – Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report and our Registration Statement on Form 10-12G, which contains audited Financial Statements and notes thereto for the periodyear ended October 31, 2018.2020 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Please also see the cautionary language at the beginning of this Quarterly Report regarding forward-looking statements.

The discussions of our results as presented in this Quarterly Report include use of the non-GAAP term “gross profit.” Gross profit is determined by deducting the cost of goods sold from operating revenue. Cost of goods sold includes direct and indirect labor, materials, services, fixed costs, and variable overhead. Gross profit should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that gross profit, although a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful and meaningful to investors as a basis for making investment decisions. It provides investors with information that demonstrates our cost structure and provides funds for our total costs and expenses. We use gross profit in measuring the performance of our business. Other companies may calculate gross profit in a different manner.

Potential Impact of COVID-19

In March 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the world, including the United States. Our business operations, which commenced during this pandemic, continue to be operational and, to date, we have not seen any significant direct negative impact of COVID-19 to our newly commenced business. However, we have encountered some logistical delays related to product launches and distribution in international markets due to COVID-19 While the spread of COVID-19 has begun to slow and social restrictions have begun to ease, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and remains uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact economic conditions, which could impact the short-term and long-term demand from our customers and, therefore, has the potential to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the future. Management is actively monitoring this situation and any impact on our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. However, given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the remainder of fiscal year 2021 and, possibly, beyond.

Business Overview

Since inception, the Company has been engaged in limited organizational efforts; however, the Company intends to commence business operations in the near term. Currently, the Company is exploring and evaluating various business opportunities, which may include entering into distribution or other contractual arrangements, or acquiring the assets of an existing company. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has not entered into any agreements concerning any business activities.

The Company, based on current and proposed business activities, is considered a “blank check” company. The SEC defines a “blank check” company as “any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51)-1 of the Exchange Act, and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies or other entity or person.” Pursuant to Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a shell company, because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. In addition, many states have enacted statutes, rules, and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions.

In addition, the Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), that is exempt fromA&R Sub-Distribution Agreements set forth certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities, and increases the number of stockholders a company must have before becoming subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure rules. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, that 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.minimum purchase obligations.

 

We are currently exploring and evaluating business opportunities, which may include entering into distribution or other contractual arrangements or acquiringbelieve that over the assetscourse of an existing company. Our principal business objective for the next 12twelve months, and beyond such timeour business operations will begenerate the capital needed to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with aour business or commencement of business operations, rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We anticipate exploring potential business opportunities within the electronic cigarettes and vaporizers and CBD industries as a result of our management’s prior and current business experience within such industries. Management envisions that such business opportunities would result in us commencing business operations without having to otherwise consummate a business combination. We have not entered into any definitive agreements with any party;objectives; however, we have engaged in discussions with various parties regarding potential business opportunities.

In the event that management is unable to otherwise commence business operations, and determines that it is necessary to engage in one or more business combinations, we may consider a business that has recently commenced operations, is in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business that maythere can be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. Our management believes that the public company status that results from a combination with us could provide such company greater access to the capital markets, increase its visibility in the investment community, and offer the opportunity to utilize its stock to make acquisitions. However, there is no assurance that our business operations will continue to generate the cash flows required for us to achieve our business objectives. If we will have greater access to capital due to our public company status and, therefore, a business combination with an operating company in need ofrequire additional capital, may expose us to additional risks and challenges. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control that may occur in a public offering. We do not anticipate paying a finder’s fee, either in cash or through the issuance of securities, for the consummation of any business acquisition the Company makes pursuant to its current business plan.

Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may commence business opportunities or combine with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertainbe able to raise any required capital or assess all significant risks.

We intend to search for business opportunities by contacting various sources including, but not limited to, our affiliates, lenders, investment banking firms, private equity funds, financial advisors and similar persons, accounting firms, and attorneys notwithstanding us contacting any business directly. The approximate number of persons or entities that capital will be contacted is unknown and dependent on whether any opportunities are presentedavailable to us at acceptable terms, or at all. We believe that our cash provided by the sources that we contact. However, there is no assurance that weoperations will identify any viable business opportunities.

The risks we may face if we are unable to commence business operations, if such business operations are unsuccessful, if we are unable to acquire or merger with another entity, or if such acquisition or merger is unsuccessful, include, but are not limited to, difficulty in achieving future financing, continuing operations, bankruptcy, litigation, and increasing business operations on a limited or no budget.

We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations and opportunitiesbe sufficient for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury, if any, or with additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management, or other investors. At this time, we are entirely reliant upon cash contributions made by our officers and directors to pay for any and all expenses.twelve months.

DuringAs a result of the next 12 monthscommencement of business operations, in March 2020, we anticipate incurring costs relatedbegan hiring employees and intend to hire additional independent contractors and/or employees in the future. We cannot provide any assurance as to the filingtiming of Exchange Act reports (legal, accounting,the hiring of any additional independent contractors or employees, the number of independent contractors or employees that we may hire, and auditing fees) in the amount of approximately between $5,000 and $10,000,whether acceptable independent contractors or more. If we pursue any mergers or acquisitions, we anticipate incurring expenses of approximately between $10,000 and $20,000, or more, to pay for legal fees and audit fees. We believe weemployees will be able to meet the costs of filing Exchange Act reports during the next 12 months through use of funds to be loaned to or invested in us by Mr. Nirajkumar Patel and Mr. Eric Mosser, our officers and directors, or other stockholders. However, there is no guarantee that such additional funds will be made available to us or on termsat that are favorable to us. If we enter into a business combination with a target entity, we will attempt to require the target company to pay the acquisition related fees and expenses as a condition precedent to such an agreement.time.

 


To date, we have had no discussions with our officers and directors, Mr. Nirajkumar Patel and Mr. Eric Mosser, or other investors, regarding funding and no funding commitment for future expenses has been obtained. If in the future we need funds to pay expenses, we will consider these and other yet to be identified options for raising funds and/or paying expenses. Obviously, if Mr. Patel, Mr. Mosser, or other investors do not loan to or invest sufficient funds in us, then we will not be able to meet our SEC reporting obligations

We have negative working capital, a stockholder deficit, and have no source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the foreseeable future, we will be devoting our efforts to exploring and evaluating business opportunities, which may include merger or acquisition candidates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company or otherwise commence business operations, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of January 31, 2019April 30, 2021 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.

 

At April 30, 2021, we had working capital of approximately $9.2 million and total cash of approximately $2.1 million.

As

Now that we have commenced business operations, we intend to generally rely on cash from operations and equity and debt offerings, to the extent necessary and available, to satisfy our liquidity needs. There are a number of January 31, 2019,factors that could result in the need to raise additional funds, including a decline in revenue or a lack of anticipated sales growth and increased costs. Our efforts are directed toward generating positive cash flow and profitability. If these efforts are not successful, we may need to raise additional capital. Should capital not be available to us at reasonable terms, other actions may become necessary in addition to cost control measures and continued efforts to increase sales. These actions may include exploring strategic options for the sale of the Company, had no assets. The Company’s current liabilities as January 31, 2019 totaled $9,750,the creation of joint ventures or strategic alliances under which consistedwe will pursue business opportunities, or other alternatives. We believe we have the financial resources to weather any short-term impacts of accrued expenses.COVID-19; however, we are unable to presently estimate any potential future impacts from COVID-19 and an extended impact could have a material and adverse effect on our sales, earnings, and liquidity.

 

Cash Flows:

The Company had nodecrease in cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2021 was mainly due to the net loss during the first six months of fiscal year 2021 as compared to the net profit during the comparable period for fiscal 2020. We anticipate improvement in our cash flows from operatingprovided by operations in future years based on the minimum purchase obligations set forth in the A&R Sub-Distribution Agreements, partially offset by increases in costs as we ramp up our sales and marketing efforts. Cash flow used in financing activities was approximately $77,975 for the first six months of fiscal year 2021, compared to $0 for the first six months of fiscal year 2020. The cash used in financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2019. The Company has generated no revenues since inception.

Results of Operations

The Company has not generated any revenue from September 4, 2018 (inception), through January 31, 2019. It is unlikely that the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to identify suitable business opportunities and commence operations, of which there can be no assurance. Management believes that these circumstances may hinder the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable business opportunities.
