NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

Freedom Leaf Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “Freedom Leaf” or “FRLF”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 21, 2013, under the name of Arkadia International, Inc. The Company originally was engaged in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars and goods with the intent to resale these in the U.S. territory or export to overseas countries. On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard C. Cowan (“Cowan”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Cowan and Vladimir and Galina Shekhtman (“Sellers”). On the closing date, October 3, 2014, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93% of the then-outstanding common stock of the Company.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf Inc., a private Nevada corporation. The Company changed its name from Arkadia International, Inc., to Freedom Leaf Inc. As a result of the merger, the private company was dissolved, the sole officer, director and shareholder of the private company, Clifford J. Perry, became an officer and director of the Company, and Mr. Perry received approximately 48.1% of the Company’s common stock post-merger. See Note 2 for related discussion.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the merger was accounted for as a "reverse merger" and recapitalization rather than a business combination, and the private company was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction, with the Company deemed to be the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company prior to the merger are those of the private company, and were recorded at the historical cost basis of the private company, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the merger include the assets and liabilities of both the predecessor public company and private company, the historical operations of private company, and the operations of both companies from the date of the merger.

 

Cannabis Business Solutions Inc (“Cannabis Business Solutions”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 5, 2014, and is a subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary had nominal activity until it purchased the LaMarihuana.com assets from Valencia Web Technology S.L., B-97183354, effective April 8, 2017 (see Note 2).

 

Leafceuticals Inc (“Leafceuticals”), formerly known as Cannabiz U, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 13, 2014, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary began active operations in January 2018.

 

Freedom Leaf International Inc. (“Freedom Leaf International”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on November 27, 2015, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary has had no activity to date.

 

Freedom Leaf Cares Inc. (“Freedom Leaf Cares”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on October 1, 2014, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Freedom Leaf Cares was dissolved in 2016. Until dissolution, this subsidiary had no activity.

 

Nature of Operations

 

Freedom Leaf Inc. is a Company that is dedicated to health and wellness products derived from legal Hemp. It is comprised of a group of diversified, international, vertically-integrated hemp businesses and cannabis media companies. Freedom Leaf Inc. has been working since 2014 to build a diverse portfolio of related hemp businesses through strategic acquisitions across the industry.

 

 

  7  

 

 

FRLF’s portfolio of acquisitions includes our recently acquired hemp CBD product line Irie CBD; our wholly-owned hemp extraction division Leafceuticals, Inc.; our exclusive health and wellness CBD brand “Hempology;” our hemp greenhouse cultivation with recent acquisition of a facility in Valencia, Spain; our hemp-based rolling paper company Plants to Paper; two of the largest Spanish-speaking cannabis web portals in the world LaMarihuana.com and Marihuana-Medicinal.com ; and, of course, our flagship publication, Freedom Leaf Magazine .

 

Through our targeted acquisitions and growth plan execution, the Company has built a solid foundation for our vertically-integrated hemp and cannabis media company to enhance both revenue growth and shareholder value. Our cultivation and extraction divisions allow FRLF to grow and source our own hemp CBD, which allows lower production costs for our wholly-owned CBD product lines, and better gross profit, for our CBD product sales. In addition, our domestic and international media companies permit us to direct organic traffic to our eCommerce sites and retail locations.

 

· Freedom Leaf does not handle, grow, sell, or dispense marijuana or related products in the United States.

 

· Freedom Leaf believes that its European activities are in compliance with relevant EU laws.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Freedom Leaf and its subsidiaries, Cannabis Business Solutions, Leafceuticals, Freedom Leaf Cares, and Freedom Leaf International. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We follow accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

We currently measure and report at fair value our intangible assets (due to our impairment analysis) and derivative liabilities. The fair value of intangible assets has been determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows method. The fair value of derivative liabilities is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances 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 operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

 

 

  8  

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the amortization period for intangible assets, valuation and impairment valuation of intangible assets, depreciable lives of the web site and property and equipment, valuation of warrants and beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market and the cost of sales are recorded utilizing the first in first out (“FIFO”) method.

 

Accounting for Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances 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 operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This update provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. We have early adopted this update. We do not believe this guidance will impact the recognition of our primary source of revenue. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share,” basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares, which may dilute future earnings per share, consist of warrants to purchase 4,618,167 shares of common stock at March 31, 2018. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU No. 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has adopted this update. We do not believe this guidance will impact the recognition of our primary source of revenue. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. We have adopted this update. We do not believe this guidance will impact the recognition of our primary source of revenue. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,  Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires management to perform an evaluation each annual and interim reporting period of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within the one-year period after the date that the financial statements are issued. If such conditions are identified, the guidance requires an entity to provide certain disclosures about the principal conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations and management’s plans to alleviate or mitigate substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU on lease accounting. The ASU requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. While the Company is still evaluating the ASU, the Company expects the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition due to the recognition of the lease rights and obligations as assets and liabilities. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, and the ASU will have no effect on cash flows.

 

The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statement.

 

NOTE 2 –DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS

 

On November 6, 2014, Freedom Leaf Inc., a Nevada corporation and the public company (the “Company,” “Public Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) entered into a merger agreement with a private Nevada corporation, Freedom Leaf Inc. (the “Private Company”). Prior to the reverse merger, Cowan, the officer and director of the Public Company, had acquired the majority of its outstanding common stock. Clifford J. Perry, the Private Company’s sole officer and director pre-merger (“Perry”), was the owner of record of all of the outstanding common shares of the Private Company (the “Private Company Stock”) prior to the merger. Pursuant to the merger, the Private Company was merged into the Public Company, and Perry, the Private Company’s shareholder, received 83,401.2 shares of Public Company common stock for each share of Private Company stock pre-merger, or 83,401,200 total shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The closing of the merger was conditioned upon certain, limited customary representations and warranties, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions to closing. As the parties satisfied all of the closing conditions, we filed Articles of Merger in Nevada consummating the merger, and shareholders of the Private Company pre-merger (Perry) owned approximately 48.1% of our issued and outstanding common stock post-merger. Following the merger, the Company focused on pursuing Private Company’s historical businesses.

 

The foregoing description of the merger agreement and transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the merger agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended December 31, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

 

For financial reporting purposes, the merger represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination, and Private Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Private Company is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Public Company (Freedom Leaf Inc., f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc.) is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the merger will be those of the Private Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Private Company, and the financial statements after completion of the merger will include the assets and liabilities of the Public Company and the Private Company, the historical operations of the Private Company and operations of both companies from the closing date of the Merger.

LaMarihuana Purchase

 

On May 30, 2017, with an effective date of April 8, 2017 as per the Bill of Sale, Cannabis Business Solutions Inc. (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary of the registrant, Freedom Leaf Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Valencia Web Technology S.L., B-97183354, a Spanish limited liability company (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada) (the “Seller,” or “Valencia”) to purchase the Seller’s assets, including its cash and cash equivalents, equipment, inventory, receivables, and two of its websites www.lamarihuana.com and www.marihuana-medicinal.com (but not including the Seller’s website cannabislandia.com), for a purchase price consisting of a 10% interest in the Buyer, and 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the registrant, valued at $300,000 (the “Initial FRLF Shares”), with additional shares of the registrant’s common stock due six months (October 8, 2017) following closing if, at such time, the average closing price of the registrant’s common stock during the previous five trading days is less than $0.10/share. Such additional shares shall be calculated as follows: $300,000 minus the product of (a) the Initial FRLF Shares multiplied by (b) the average closing price of the registrant’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the True-Up Date (the “True-Up Price”), with such difference divided by the True-Up Price. On October 8, 2017, the Company removed the previously recorded contingent liability and recorded 4,142,857 shares of common stock as issuable, with a value of $126,000. On February 7, 2018, the Company and the Buyer agreed that because of the increase in the value of the Company’s common stock, the Buyer had waived its right to additional shares of common stock as stated herein. Therefore, on February 7, 2018, the Company reversed its recording of the 4,142,857 shares of common stock recorded as issuable. See Note 17.

 

The Company is in the process of meeting international requirements for the complete use of the web sites by the Company. This process is expected to be completed before the end of this fiscal year.

 

NOTE 3 –BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

Green Market Europe Purchase

 

On January 5, 2018 as amended on February 5, 2018, with an effective date of January 5, 2018, the Company consummated its previously-announced acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Green Market Europe, S.L. (“GME”), a Spanish producer of hemp products. GME’s facilities include: a 21,000 square foot light deprivation greenhouse; a 43,000 square foot indoor growing research facility, and over 200 acres of outdoor production space. The light deprivation allows the increase of the number of yearly crops from 3 to 4 crops a year, and the 43,000 square foot indoor grow facility is used for genetic research and cultivating additional hemp crops. GME is strategically located in Elche, Alicante, an important Spanish business hub, with great year-round weather conditions for agricultural growing and a long tradition of growing hemp. From its inception to-date, GME has had negligible operations.

 

 

 

  12  

 

 

Purchase Consideration:

 

In consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid to GME’s seller $320,205 in cash and Company common stock as follows:

 

(i) $24,805 (which amount was paid by a third party, and to whom the Company owes that amount), and

 

(ii) 4,220,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued on the Company’s Balance Sheet at $295,400.

 

Additionally: (i) additional shares will be issuable if the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s stock between January 5, 2018 and July 3, 2018 is less than $0.10 per share, and (ii) the sellers of GME have the option to repurchase all of the assets of GME for €100 (and the assumption of GME’s liabilities) if the volume weighted-average price of the Company’s stock between January 5, 2018 and January 5, 2019 is less than $0.01 per share.

 

Assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, at fair value:

 

The provisional fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the sellers of GME was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. We accounted for the acquisition of GME as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of our company. The fair value of the net assets acquired, net of Liabilities assumed, was approximately $20,285. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been treated as Goodwill. The purchase price allocation was based, in part, on management’s knowledge of GME’s business and is preliminary. Once we complete our analysis to finalize the purchase price allocation, which includes finalizing the valuation report from a third-party appraiser and a review of potential intangible assets, it is reasonably possible that, there could be significant changes to the preliminary values below.

 

Consideration given:

 

Common stock shares given   $ 295,400  
         
Total consideration given   $ 295,400  
         
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed:        
         
Cash   $ 3,546  
Accounts receivable     7,430  
Fixed assets, net     64,891  
Intangible assets, net     5,176  
Accounts payable     (71,478 )
Acquisition payable     (24,805 )
Payable to shareholders     (5,045 )
Total identifiable net liabilities     (20,285 )
Goodwill     315,685  
Total consideration   $ 295,400  

 

During March, April and May of 2018, in connection with the Company’s preliminary audit of GME, the Company’s management discovered several irregularities regarding GME’s operations and its sellers’ activities before and after the consummation of the Company’s acquisition of that business. Based on investigation of these discoveries, the Company, effective June 4, 2018, consummated a termination agreement with GME’s seller. In connection with that agreement, GME’s sellers returned to the Company the 4,220,000 shares it had previously issued to the sellers. The Company will write off the approximately $33,000 it had invested cumulatively in GME in addition to the stock issuance.

 

NOTE 4– GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 of $3,326,041 and working capital deficit as of March 31, 2018 of $134,341 and has used cash in operations of $520,088 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, the Company had a stockholders’ equity and accumulated deficit of $425,402 and $8,247,029, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

 

 

 

  13  

 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

 

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this report, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits.

Future minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows:

 

2018   $ 5,982  
2019     18,943  
         
Total   $ 24,925

At its peak, it produced millions of Poinsettia clones and had more than 80 greenhouse workers working 24/7. The Company chose this facility due to the similarities in growing Poinsettias and Hemp and because of its light cycles and heavy machinery specific to industrial plant production. This turn-key facility includes: approximately 430,000 square feet of light deprivation greenhouse, growing supplies, polished concrete, and triple galvanized steel framework. It its fully equipped with an automated irrigation system, a mist system, a refrigerated storage area, a light deprivation system to maximize number of crops per year, a Dutch, hydroponic set up and heating system, its own gas pipe, and five sources of irrigation water with reservoir.

The purchase also includes outdoor space and the necessary structural steel sufficient to erect a new 64,000 sq. ft galvanized steel frame facility the Company intends to build to use as a GMP extraction, formulation and bottling facility. The Company intends to retain the predecessor operation’s key employees to maintain the growing facilities. Management’s goal is for this facility to become a leading greenhouse producer of cannabinoids in Europe. The Company’s goal is to grow up to two million grams of EU-certified Industrial Hemp in its first year of operations and then to expand significantly in subsequent years. The Company also expects to utilize this facility to increase its Hemp research, tissue culture and extraction capabilities in the following years.

 

On June 7, 2018, the Company retained Joseph Abrams, an individual acting as an independent contractor, to serve as a member of the Company’s Advisory Board and, in connection with that appointment, issued to Abrams: 312,500 of the Company’s common stock per year.

Company Overview

 

The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada under the name Arkadia International, Inc. on February 21, 2013.

 

On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard C. Cowan acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Mr. Cowan and Vladimir and Galina Shekhtman (“Sellers”). On the closing date, October 3, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the agreements with the sellers, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93% of the then-outstanding common stock of the Company.

  

On November 4, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a twelve for one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As the stock split was approved by FINRA, the common share and per common share data in these financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the stock split. The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf Inc., a private Nevada corporation. The Company changed its name from Arkadia International, Inc., to Freedom Leaf Inc. As a result of the merger, the private company was dissolved, the sole officer, director and shareholder of the private company, Clifford J. Perry, became an officer and director of the Company, and Mr. Perry received approximately 48.1% of the Company’s common stock post-merger.

 

Prior to the merger, we were a startup company that originally intended to engage in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars, and goods with the intent to resell these in the in the U.S. territories or export to overseas countries.

 

Until the recently-consummated IRIE acquisition, we have been devoting most of our efforts to the news, arts and entertainment niche, with both “in print” and online publications, as well as offering products and services to the cannabis industry. In connection with the IRIE acquisition and recent launch of various CBD products through our Leafceuticals subsidiary, we are increasing our focus on utilizing our web sites and other means to sell CBD products.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Freedom Leaf Inc. is a company that is dedicated to health and wellness products derived from legal Hemp. It is comprised of a group of diversified, international, vertically-integrated hemp businesses and cannabis media companies. Freedom Leaf Inc. has been working since 2014 to build a diverse portfolio of related hemp businesses and cannabis media through strategic acquisitions across the industry.

 

 

 

  29  

 

 

FRLF’s portfolio of acquisitions includes our recently acquired hemp CBD product line Irie CBD; our wholly-owned hemp extraction division Leafceuticals, Inc.; our exclusive health and wellness CBD brand Hempology; our hemp-based rolling paper company Plants to Paper; two of the largest Spanish-speaking cannabis web portals in the world LaMarihuana.com and Marihuana-Medicinal.com ; and, of course, our flagship publication, Freedom Leaf Magazine .

 

Through our targeted acquisitions and growth plan execution, the Company has built a solid foundation for our vertically-integrated hemp company to enhance both revenue growth and shareholder value. Our cultivation and extraction divisions allow FRLF to grow and source our own hemp CBD, which allows lower production costs for our wholly-owned CBD product lines, and better gross profit, for our CBD product sales. In addition, our domestic and international media companies permit us to direct organic traffic to our eCommerce sites and retail locations.

 

·          Freedom Leaf does not handle, grow, sell, or dispense marijuana or related products in the United States.

 

·          Freedom Leaf believes that its European activities are in compliance with relevant EU laws.

Note that, the Company has been shifting its focus away from licensing revenues, its primary source of revenue in fiscal 2017, and toward the sale of products. Since the merger until the recently-consummated IRIE acquisition, we have been devoting most of our efforts to the news, arts and entertainment niche, with both “in print” and online publications, as well as offering products and services to the cannabis industry. In connection with the IRIE acquisition and recent launch of various CBD products through our Leafceuticals subsidiary, we are increasing our focus on utilizing our web sites and other means to sell CBD products.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 our general and administrative expenses and marketing and selling expenses were $697,875 compared to $260,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, resulting in an increase of $437,697, attributable primarily to stock-based compensation of $155,781 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $83,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and bad debt expense of $221,294 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Other income (expenses)

 

Other income (expense) was an expense of $845,351 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to an expense of $3,678 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The expense for 2018 is primarily comprised of loss on settlement of debt ($113,936) and loss on conversion of debt into common stock ($781,523).

 

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1,561,141 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to net loss of $27,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The higher net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 is largely attributable to: (1) one-time expenses relate to the launch of CBD sales, such as pre-production research and development costs; (2) increasing general and administrative expenses and marketing and selling expenses in anticipation of expanding product sales, and (3) lower revenues – as the Company has shifted its focus from licensing revenues to product sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $165,544 in cash. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur a minimum of $50,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017

 

We used cash in operations of $520,088 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, compared to cash used in operations of $222,899 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 is attributable to the Company's net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3,326,041 primarily due to the issuance of common stock for services ($571,858) and bad debt expense ($648,142). Cash used in operations of $222,899 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 is attributable to the Company's net loss of $539,008 offset primarily by increase in stock-based compensation of $616,942.

 

We used cash in investing or financing activities of $24,392 and $3,897 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

We had cash provided by financing activities of $715,518 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $231,088 for the same period in 2017.

 

We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements and the factors within it, 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 and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company sustained net losses attributable to common shareholders of $3,326,041 and cash used in operating activities of $520,088 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The Company had working capital deficit, stockholders’ equity and accumulated deficit of $134,341, $425,402 and $8,247,029, respectively, at March 31, 2018. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

  

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on October 19, 2017, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Adjusted Net Earnings

 

In addition to reporting net loss from operations as defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company presents adjusted net earnings from operations (adjusted net earnings), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted net earnings consist of net loss from operations after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. Adjusted net earnings does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, GAAP measurements such as net loss from operations (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. By eliminating the items shown below, the Company believes that the measure is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies. The Company’s management does not view adjusted net earnings in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net loss from operation and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net earnings for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA

 

In addition to reporting net loss from operations as defined under GAAP, the Company also presents adjusted net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization from operations (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss from operations after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, GAAP measurements such as net loss from operations (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

By eliminating the items shown below, the Company believes the measure is useful in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies. The Company’s management uses adjusted EBITDA to manage its business, including in preparing its annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company’s management does not view adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net loss from operations and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

 

Adjusted EBITDA   For the Nine Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2018     2017  
             
Net loss attributable to common shareholders   $ (3,326,041 )   $ (539,008 )
Interest expense     (14,439 )     (11,276 )
Interest income     10,331

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

A smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

  

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the chief executive and interim chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

 

 

  34  

 

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that the Company continues to have the following deficiencies which represent a material weakness:

 

1. The Company intends to appoint additional independent directors;
2. Lack of in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions;
3. Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting;
4. Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

  

To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:

 

  · The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and appoint additional member(s) to the Audit Committee.
  · The Company will add sufficient accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.
  · The Company will hire staff technically proficient at applying U.S. GAAP to financial transactions and reporting.
  · Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.

 

The additional hiring is contingent upon The Company’s efforts to obtain additional funding through equity or debt and the results of its operations. Management expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There are no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting other than as described elsewhere herein.

  

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
