PART I

 

Item 1. Description of Business

 

General

 

Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”)(“GPI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. The Company was originally formed to provide garment tailoring and alteration services.

 

The Company then expanded into the Hemp and Cannabidiol (“CBD”) industry. The expansion focused on the development, research, and commercialization of products derived from the Hemp and Cannabis Plant. At the time GPI was also seeking acquisition candidates in this area of interest in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

 

Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. then hired industry-leading experts in the field of Genomics to utilize their expertise to improve crop yields by utilizing advanced breeding and molecular technologies. The company intended to use proprietary equipment and techniques to ensure the genetic fingerprint of each plant is identical and is cultivated in a controlled environment significantly reducing the variability of each plants yield. It is anticipated that Gala Pharmaceuticals Inc., may at some point provide oversight for the development of fully cGMP production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for use in forecasted clinical trials supporting the safety and efficacy of the various plant extracts.

 

The Company currently has been approved by the City of Long Beach to build a testing Cannabis Lab and the Lab build-out is scheduled to be completed on May 19, 2019. The company intends to provide Testing or Analytical Chemistry tools for chemical, plant, soil, and liquid.

 

The Company also will provide genetic “fingerprinting” and “sequencing” of various crop species. This Fingerprinting allows for storing genetic fingerprint information into a proprietary database. Customers can access genetic fingerprint data which can be used for predictive breeding applications and for protecting intellectual property (IP).

 

Research and Development

 

We have not spent any amounts on research and development activities during the years ended November 30, 2018 or 2017. We anticipate that we will not incur any expenses on research and development over the next 12 months.

Employees and Employment Agreements

 

At present, we have a CEO and a Chief Scientific Officer who devote their full time to our business.

There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors or employees.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this Report. Some of the information contained in this Report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that the projections included in these forward-looking statements will come to pass. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Our auditors’ reports contain a statement that our net loss and limited working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accountants have stated in their reports (included in Item 8. Financial Statements) that our significant operating losses and working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We incurred net losses of $1,858,877 and $1,981,856, respectively, for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2018 and 2017. We will be required to raise substantial capital to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements since our current cash assets are exhausted and we have generated no revenues to date to sustain our operations. We will need to seek other financing to complete our business plans. The successful outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operational results.

 

In addition to our current deficit, we expect to incur additional losses during the foreseeable future. Until we are able to successfully execute our business plan. Consequently, we will require substantial additional capital to continue our development and marketing activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing through private placements and/or public offerings necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements and/or public offerings are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital through other sources, such as bank loans and/or financings. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms.

 

We are incurring increased costs as a result of being a publicly-traded company. As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. These new rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and have made some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we have created additional board committees and have adopted policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, we have incurred additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. In addition, these new rules and regulations have made it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which we currently cannot afford to do. As a result of the new rules, it may become more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of being a public company or the timing of such costs.

Overall, the increase in operating expenses was due to an increase in overall day-to-day activities as the Company incurred significant operating costs with respect to its operations. Overall consulting fees increased by $757,572 which included a one-time $200,000 bonus to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, and an overall increase in the use of consultants during the year as the Company laid the groundwork for its testing lab by employing a larger number of consultants which were compensated by common shares of the Company. In addition, we saw an increase of $91,093 in general and administrative costs as we incurred more cash use for our operating activities as compared to prior year. We also saw an increase in rent expense of $63,714 due primarily to a new lease agreement for the testing lab in Gala California, a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended November 30, 2018 was $1,858,877 or a loss per share of $0.03 compared with a net loss of $1,981,856 or loss per share of $0.09 for the year ended November 30, 2017. In addition to operating expenses, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $257,861 related to the change in fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture that were issued and outstanding during the year ended November 30, 2018. The Company also recorded interest and accretion expense of $74,459 related to the convertible debenture, settlement expense of $64,000 relating to a proposed settlement of an outstanding litigation claim from a former consultant of the Company, and $30,000 unrealized loss on the fair value of the common shares received from Greengro Technologies Inc. for the sale of the Cannabis Ventures subsidiaries during the year ended November 30, 2018. The amounts were offset by a gain on settlement of debt of $152,626 from the settlement/conversion of convertible debt and gain of $71,800 from the sale of the Cannabis Ventures Inc. and Cannabis Ventures (Canada) Inc. subsidiaries where the Company exchanged all rights and titles to the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries in exchange for 2,000,000 common shares of Greengro Technologies Inc., a company with common directors.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $893,866 and an accumulated deficit of $5,077,446 compared with a working capital deficit of $951,880 and an accumulated deficit of $3,218,569 as of November 30, 2017. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, its ability to obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generate profitable operations from the Company’s planned future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As of November 30, 2018, the Company had current assets of $226,998 and current liabilities of $1,120,864 compared with current assets of $61,916 and current liabilities of $1,013,796 at November 30, 2017. The decrease in the working capital deficit was due to the fact that the Company settled some outstanding accounts payable, convertible debentures, and related party payables with the issuance of common shares and retained some cash proceeds from financing activities as of November 30, 2018. During the year ended November 30, 2018, the Company entered into 3 new convertible note agreements for $80,000, and settled $112,249 of convertible debentures and $77,751 of accrued interest with the issuance of 4,143,409 common shares of the Company. There was also an increase of $155,321 of amounts due to related parties resulting mainly from outstanding legal fees owed to a company with common directors, and deferred rent of $29,096 relating to rent liabilities for the Company’s new testing lab held in Gala California Inc., a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on debt and equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in note (1) of the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its mineral leases and claims and our ability to obtain final government permission to complete the project.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that permits the Company to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The new standard will reduce income statement volatility for companies that issue warrants and convertible instruments containing such features. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases ”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 will take effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued their converged standard on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” , updated in December 2016 with the release of ASU 2016-20. This standard outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-14 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ):  Deferral of the Effective Date, " which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with earlier application permitted but not before the original effective date.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Gala Pharmaceutical, Inc. (formerly Gala Global, Inc.) (the Company) as of November 30, 2017, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses, negative working capital and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to obtain financing, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended November 30, 2018 and 2017

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company” or “GPI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. The Company provides Testing or Analytical Chemistry tools for chemical, plant, soil, and liquid composition analysis. GPI provides analysis of compositional traits for hemp and cannabis products (cannabinoid, terpenes, pesticides, residual solvents and microbial). The analysis is being done at certified labs with persistent results.

 

The Company also provides genetic “fingerprinting” and “sequencing” of various crop species. This fingerprinting allows for storing genetic fingerprint information into a proprietary database. Customers can access genetic fingerprint data which can be used for predictive breeding applications and for protecting intellectual property (IP). Additionally, the Company can develop new genetics by using state of the art breeding technology and provides tissue culture and cloning services. These clones are guaranteed to be disease free, chemical free and healthy and robust. 

 

Additionally, the Company provides consulting on testing and manufacturing lab designs and SOPs.  The Company provides services to customers for building turnkey labs, drug formulations and troubleshooting. It has highly qualified professionals to bring productivity and efficiency within your current resources.

 

Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of November 30, 2018, the Company has a working capital deficit of $893,866 and an accumulated deficit of $5,077,446. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is November 30.

 

(b) Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries: 51% ownership of Gala Pharmaceutical (California), Inc. (“Gala California”) from February 7, 2018 (date of incorporation) to current date, and 100% ownership of Cannabis Ventures Inc. (USA), Cannabis Ventures Inc. (Canada), and CBD Life, Inc. until the sale of these subsidiaries on June 20, 2018. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation and the proportionate net income/loss on the 49% non-controlling interest has been deducted from the Company’s net loss on the consolidated statement of operations commencing with a corresponding entry within stockholders’ deficit.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of inventory, valuation of derivative liability and share-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of November 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no cash equivalents.

 

(e) Equipment

 

Equipment is comprised of machinery and is recorded at the lower of cost or net book value and amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three to five years.

 

(f) Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. GRNH shares are quoted on the OTC Markets Pink Sheets.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(f) Financial Instruments (continued)

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related parties, loans payable, loans payable – related parties, convertible debt, derivative liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

The following table represents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized in fair value as of November 30, 2018, on a recurring basis (see footnote 2(f) - ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) :

Total                 (453,005 )     (277,578 )

 

(g) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes . The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

(h) Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of common shares of a publicly-traded company and are available-for-sale. The marketable securities are recorded at its fair value, with any corresponding unrealized gains and losses recorded in the statement of operations.

 

(i) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes and accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606 as a principal on the sale of goods. Pursuant to ASC 606 ,   revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(j) Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

(k) Comprehensive Loss

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As of November 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has no items representing comprehensive income or loss.

 

(l) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share . ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued and outstanding during the years ended November 30, 2018 and 2017. All effects of the reverse stock split discussed at Note 9(d) has been applied retroactively to calculations of basic and diluted net loss per share for periods presented. As of November 30, 2018, the Company had 12,254,104 (2017 – 2,659,468) potentially issuable shares from outstanding convertible notes.

 

(m) Derivative Liability

 

From time to time, the Company may issue equity instruments that may contain an embedded derivative instrument which may result in a derivative liability. A derivative liability exists on the date the equity instrument is issued when there is a contingent exercise provision. The derivative liability is recorded at its fair value calculated by using an option pricing model such as a multi-nominal lattice model. The fair value of the derivative liability is then calculated on each balance sheet date with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Fair value of warrant liability is based on using the Black-Scholes Model.

 

(n) Beneficial Conversion Features

 

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

(o) Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company may hold balances that are in excess of FDIC insured limits. As of November 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no uninsured balances.

 

(p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that permits the Company to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The new standard will reduce income statement volatility for companies that issue warrants and convertible instruments containing such features. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases ”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 will take effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. With respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the most significant impact relates to the accounting for equity investments (other than those that are consolidated or accounted under the equity method) which will be measured at fair value through earnings. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for certain provisions. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with other amendments related specifically to equity securities without readily determinable fair values applied prospectively. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued their converged standard on revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” , updated in December 2016 with the release of ASU 2016-20. This standard outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-14 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ): Deferral of the Effective Date, " which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with earlier application permitted but not before the original effective date.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

3. Sale of Subsidiaries

No tax benefit has been reported during the years ended November 30, 2018 and 2017 as the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance as there is uncertainty as to whether the Company can be profitable in the future to utilize tax losses.

Should a change in ownership occur in the future, net operating losses carryfoward may be limited as to use in future years.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None

 

The required disclosure related to our previous registered public accounting firm can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 14, 2019.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Evaluation Date"), concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity's disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (" 2013 COSO Framework ").

 

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Our management concluded we have a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties and accounting for complex debt and equity transactions. Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. There is mainly one person involved in processing of transactions. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. We have hired an additional administrative person and retained an outside professional firm to assist in the separation of duties on an ongoing basis. The use of the outside firm has proven successful in assisting in the separation of duties. During the year the Company had several audit adjustments related to accounting for complex debt and equity that were deemed material. Management did not have sufficient experience to review these complex debt and equity transactions. As such, we believe this deficiency to have been a material weakness.

 

However, additional people are not needed to do the administrative work therefore segregation of duties will continue to be an ongoing weakness.

 

Based on this evaluation and because of the material weaknesses, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of November 30, 2018.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management's report on internal control in this annual report.

The OTC Bulletin Board does not have a requirement that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent. However, with respect to the definition of independence utilized by NASDAQ, our officers and directors would be deemed to be independent.

 

Our Audit Committee is comprised of our officers and directors. NASDAQ requires at least three members on the Audit Committee, each of whom must be independent. NASDAQ also requires that, if its Chief Executive Officer’s compensation is determined by its Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee must be comprised solely of independent directors. The Company currently does not meet either of these requirements.

 

The NASDAQ rules have both objective tests and a subjective test for determining who is an “independent director.” The objective tests state, for example, that a director is not considered independent if he or she is an employee of the Company or is a partner, executive officer or controlling stockholder of an entity to which the company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed the greater of $200,000 or 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or a family member serves in the current fiscal year or has served at any time during the last three fiscal years as an executive officer of the Company. The subjective test states that an independent director must be a person who lacks a relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
