Independent Auditors’ Report

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder

The Giant Beverage Company, Inc.

Staten Island, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Giant Beverage Company, Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements b ased on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects , the financial position of The Giant Beverage Company, Inc. as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

THE GIANT BEVERAGE COMPANY, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

 

1 - The Company

 

The Giant Beverage Company, Inc. (the “Company”), incorporated in New York in 2007, is a wholesaler of non-alcoholic beverages in the New York metropolitan area.

 

2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a. Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents include liquid investments, if any, with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

 

b. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable - The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery to the customer, net of estimated returns, discounts, rebates and allowances. Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated realizable value, after reduction for an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is determined primarily through specific identification and evaluation of significant past due amounts, supplemented by an estimate applied to the remaining balance of past due accounts, based on historical experience. Accounts are deemed past due when payment has not been received within the stated time period. The Company reviews individual past due amounts periodically and writes off amounts for which all collection efforts are deemed to have been exhausted. Interest is charged on certain past due accounts receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

c. Inventories - In 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016. Inventories, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (determined on the basis of first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Prior to adoption of ASU 2015-11, inventory was stated at the lower of cost or market. There is no effect of this adoption.

 

d. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset have been charged to operations as incurred. Additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of properties are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations.

 

e. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 

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

 

8


 
 

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017, and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.

 

g. Advertising Costs - Costs related to advertising, including an allocation of internal costs net of vendor participation, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $697 and $282 during the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

h. Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are included with purchases, which are included in cost of sales . Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in operating expenses .

 

 

3 - Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of the following:

 

     
Equipment and trucks   $ 30,101  
Less: Accumulated depreciation     30,101  
    $ —    
         

4 - Concentrations

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash balances with high quality credit institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (“NCUSIF”) insurance limits. All accounts at an FDIC insured depository institution are insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance of $250,000, per institution. Members of credit unions are insured by the NCUSIF up to the standard maximum share insurance amount of $250,000, per credit union. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

 

 

5 - Notes Receivable

 

The Company has notes receivable from the sale of three routes with due dates through September 2019 and interest rates between 4-5%. The notes are collateralized by the respective routes.

 

 

6 - Line of Credit

 

The Company has a $25,500 credit line facility with a small business lender, which bears interest at 10.25% per annum. The facility is guaranteed by one of the officers.

 

9


 
 

 

7 - Long-Term Debt

 

In 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the US Small Business Administration in the amount of $300,000. The loan bears interest at prime plus 2.75% per annum, matures on December 31, 2020, and is guaranteed by both of the Company’s stockholders. Minimum monthly payments of principal and interest amount to $4,383. The loan balance at September 30, 2017 was $153,424.

 

Subsequent maturities are as follows:

 

For the years ending    September 30,
     
2018   $ 46,341  
2019     49,815  
2020     53,549  
2021   3,719  
    $ 153,424  

 

 

 

8 - Loan from Officer

 

An officer of the Company has loaned money to the Company. This loan is unsecured, bears no interest, and is payable on demand.

 

 

9 - Income Taxes

 

The deferred tax asset consists of the following:

 

 September 30,   2017   2016
Net operating loss carryforward   $ 50,000     $ 40,000  
Valuation allowance     (50,000 )     (40,000 )
Deferred tax asset, net   $ —       $ —    

 

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $144,000 to reduce future federal and state taxable income.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Act significantly changes U.S. corporate income tax laws. The key provisions include a reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat 21% beginning January 1, 2018.

 

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal and state income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

 

September 30,     2017   2016
Federal rate     21 %     34 %
State and local rate     14 %     11 %
Valuation allowance     (35 %)     (45 %)
Effective income tax rate     0 %     0 %

 

 

  10


 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 10 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leases its office and warehouse space located on Staten Island, New York from a related party currently at a base monthly rent of $8,500. The lease terminates on December 31, 2025. Rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, totaled $102,296 and $96,352, respectively.

 

The Company’s lease commitments for the next five years are as follows:

 

For the years ending    
September 30,    
2018   $ 102,000  
2019     102,000  
2020     102,000  
2021     102,000  
2022     102,000  
Thereafter   331,500  
    $ 841,500  

 

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal matters. Management, after discussion with counsel, does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

 

 11 - Subsequent Events

 

On April 26, 2018, the common stock of the Company was acquired (the “Closing”) by Life on Earth, Inc. The stockholders received 1,455,000 shares of the common stock of Life on Earth, Inc. and cash of approximately $110,000. The cash was contributed to the Company and was used exclusively for repayments of debt. If, after 12 months from the date of the Closing, the shares are trading below twenty ($0.20) cents per share, then Life on Earth, Inc. shall issue 485,000 additional shares as additional stock consideration. In conjunction with the Closing, the stockholders are subject to the provisions of a Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Non-Disclosure Agreement. One of the stockholders has been appointed as the Company’s General Manager pursuant to a 2-year Employment Agreement.

 

Subsequent events have been evaluated through July 10, 2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

THE GIANT BEVERAGE COMPANY, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2017 and 2016

(Unaudited)

 

1 - The Company

 

The Giant Beverage Co., Inc. the “Company”), incorporated in New York in October 2010, is a wholesaler of products and supplies in the New York metropolitan area.

 

2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a. Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents include liquid investments, if any, with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

 

b. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable – The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery to the customer, net of estimated returns, discounts, rebates and allowances. Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated realizable value, after reduction for an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is determined primarily through specific identification and evaluation of significant past due amounts, supplemented by an estimate applied to the remaining balance of past due accounts, based on historical experience. Accounts are deemed past due when payment has not been received within the stated time period. The Company reviews individual past due amounts periodically and writes off amounts for which all collection efforts are deemed to have been exhausted. Interest is charged on certain past due accounts receivable.

 

e Inventory - In 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016. Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (determined on an average cost) or net realizable value. Prior to adoption of ASU 2015-11, inventory was stated at the lower of cost or market.

 

f. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 5 years. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments that do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset have been charged to operations as incurred. Additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful lives of properties are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations.

 

g. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 

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

 

15


The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017, and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.

 

i. Advertising Costs - Costs related to advertising, including an allocation of internal costs net of vendor participation, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $244 and $0 during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

j. Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are included with purchases, which are included in cost of sales . Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in warehousing and trucking expenses .

 

 

3 - Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of the following:

 

     
Equipment and trucks   $ 30,101  
Less: Accumulated depreciation     30,101  
    $ —    

 

 

4 - Concentrations

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash balances with high quality credit institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (“NCUSIF”) insurance limits. All accounts at an FDIC insured depository institution are insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance of $250,000 per entity, per institution. Members of credit unions are insured by the NCUSIF up to the standard maximum share insurance amount of $250,000 per entity, per credit union. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

 

5 - Long-Term Debt

 

In 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the US Small Business Administration in the amount of $300,000. The loan bears interest at Prime plus 2.75% per annum and matures on December 31, 2020. Minimum monthly payments of principal and interest amount to $4,383. The loan balance at December 31, 2017 was $147,202.

 

6 - Lines of credit – Bank

 

The Company has a $25,500 credit line facility with a small business lender which bears interest at 10.25%. The facility is guaranteed by one of the officers.

 

7 - Loan from Officer

 

An office of the Company has loaned money to the Company. The loan is unsecured, bears no interest and is payable on demand.

 

16


 
 

8 - Income Taxes

 

The deferred tax asset consists of the following:

 

    December 31,  
    2017   2016  
                   
Net operating loss carryforward   $ 59,000     $ 46,000    
Valuation allowance     (59,000 )     (46,000 )  
                   
Deferred tax asset - net   $ —       $ —      

 

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $188,000 to reduce future federal and state taxable income through 2037.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”) was enacted in the United States. The Act Significantly changes U.S. corporate income tax laws. The key provisions include a reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat 21% beginning January 1, 2018.

 

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal and state income tax rates to the loss before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

 

Effective Income Tax Rate Reconciliation
    2017 2016
Federal Rate   21% 34%
State Rate   14% 11%
Valuation Allowance   (35%) (45%)
Effective income tax rate   0% 0%

 

 

 

9 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leases its office and warehouse space located on Staten Island, New York from a related party at a base rent of $8,500. The lease terminates on December 31, 2025. Rent expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, totaled $24,650 and $26,100, respectively.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal matters. Management, after discussion with counsel, does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

 

10 - Subsequent Events

 

On April 26, 2018, the common stock of the Company was acquired (the “Closing”) by Life On Earth, Inc. The stockholders received 1,455,000 shares of the common stock of Life On Earth, Inc. and cash of approximately $110,000. The cash was contributed to the Company and used exclusively for repayments of debt. If, after 12 months from the date of the Closing, the shares of Life On Earth, Inc. are trading below Twenty (0$.20) cents per share, the Life On Earth, Inc. shall issue 485,000 additional shares as additional stock consideration. In conjunction with the Closing, the stockholders are subject to the provisions of a Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation/Non-Disclosure Agreement. One of the stockholders has been appointed as the Company’s General Manager pursuant to a 2-year Employment Agreement.
