1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
and Nature of Business
Verus
International, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiary, are collectively referred to herein as “Verus,” “VRUS”,
“Company,” “us,” or “we”.
We
were incorporated in the state of Delaware under the name Spectrum Gaming Ventures, Inc. on May 25, 1994. On October 10, 1995,
we changed our name to Select Video, Inc. On October 24, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Ownership with the Delaware Secretary
of State whereby Webdigs, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with and into us and we changed our name to Webdigs, Inc.
On
October 9, 2012, we consummated a share exchange (the “Exchange Transaction”) with Monaker Group, Inc. (formerly known
as Next 1 Interactive, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Monaker”) pursuant to which we received all of the outstanding
equity in Attaché Travel International, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Monaker (“Attaché”)
in consideration for the issuance of 93 million shares of our newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Monaker.
Attaché owned approximately 80% of a corporation named RealBiz Holdings Inc. which is the parent corporation of RealBiz
360, Inc. (“RealBiz”). As a condition to the closing of the Exchange Transaction, on October 3, 2012, we filed a Certificate
of Ownership with the Delaware Secretary of State whereby RealBiz Media Group, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged with
and into us and we changed our name to RealBiz Media Group, Inc.
On May
1, 2018, Verus Foods MENA Limited (“Verus MENA”) entered into a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement with a purchaser
(the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which Verus MENA sold 75 shares (the “Gulf Agro Shares”) of Gulf Agro Trading,
LLC (“Gulf Agro”), representing 25% of the common stock of Gulf Agro, to the Purchaser. In consideration for the Gulf
Agro Shares, the Purchaser was assigned certain contracts executed during a specified period of time. Upon the consummation of
the transaction contemplated by the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchaser obtained a broader license for product distribution.
All liabilities of Gulf Agro remained with Gulf Agro.
Until July
31, 2018, we operated a real estate segment which generated revenue from service fees (for video creation and production and website
hosting (ReachFactor)) and product sales (Nestbuilder Agent 2.0 and Microvideo app). The real estate segment was formed through
the merging of three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs); (ii) our television media
contracts division (Home Preview Channel /Extraordinary Vacation Homes); and (iii) our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group
division (RealBiz 360). The assets of these divisions were used to create a new suite of real estate products and services that
created stickiness through the utilization of video, social media and loyalty programs. At the core of our programs was our proprietary
video creation technology which allowed for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with
voice and music. We provided video search, storage and marketing capabilities on multiple platform dynamics for web, mobile and
television. Once a home, personal or community video was created using our proprietary technology, it could be published to social
media, emailed or distributed to multiple real estate websites, broadband or television for consumer viewing.
We entered
into a Contribution and Spin-off Agreement with NestBuilder.com Corp. (“NestBuilder”) on October 27, 2017, as amended
on January 28, 2018, whereby, effective as of August 1, 2018, we spun off our real estate division into NestBuilder. All of our
stockholders as of July 2, 2018, the record date, which held their shares as of July 20, 2018, the ex-dividend date, received
one share of NestBuilder common stock for each 900 shares of our Company owned. As a result of the spin-off of the real estate
segment, all related assets and liabilities are disclosed net as current assets and current liabilities within the consolidated
balance sheets, and all related income and expenses are disclosed net as income (loss) from discontinued operations within the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Since
August 1, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Verus Foods, Inc. (“Verus Foods”), an international supplier
of consumer food products, are focused on international consumer packaged goods, foodstuff distribution and wholesale trade. Our
fine food products are sourced in the United States and exported internationally. We market consumer food products under our own
brand primarily to supermarkets, hotels and other members of the wholesale trade. Initially, in 2017, we focused on frozen foods,
particularly meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and french fries with beverages as a second vertical. During 2018, we added cold-storage
facilities, and began seeking international sources for fresh fruit, produce and similar perishables, as well as other consumer
packaged foodstuff, with the goal to create vertical farm-to-market operations. Verus has also begun to explore new consumer packaged
goods (“CPG”) non-food categories, such as cosmetic and fragrances, for future product offerings.
We
currently have a significant regional presence in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) and sub-Saharan Africa
(excluding The Office of Foreign Assets Control restricted nations), with deep roots in the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”)
countries, which includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The Company’s
long-term goal is to source goods and generate international wholesale and retail CPG sales in North and South America, Europe,
Africa, Asia and Australia.
Basis
of Presentation
The
unaudited interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
items, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 include the operations of Verus
MENA effective May 1, 2018, Verus Foods effective January 2017, and Gulf Agro Trading, LLC through April 30, 2018 (see Note 11).
The historical operations of the Company’s real estate segment which were spun-off effective as of August 1, 2018, are reported
as discontinued operations for the three months ended January 31, 2018. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in the consolidation.
These
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended October 31, 2018, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC
on March 19, 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending October 31, 2019.

NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of unaudited consolidated 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates,
the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates include
the collectability of accounts receivable, stock-based compensation and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year’s unaudited consolidated financial statements to enhance comparability with
the current year’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, presenting the spin-off of
the Company’s real estate segment as discontinued operations for the three months ended January 31, 2018.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
The
Company’s food products accounts receivable, net and revenues are geographically concentrated with customers located in
the GCC countries. In addition, significant concentrations exist with a limited number of customers. The loss of one or more of
our top customers, or a substantial decrease in demand by any of those customers for our products, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The
Company purchases substantially all of its food products from a limited number of regions around the world or from a limited number
of suppliers. Increases in the prices of the food products which the Company purchases could adversely affect its operating results
if the Company is unable to fully offset the effect of these increased costs through price increases, and the Company can provide
no assurance that it will be able to pass along such increased costs to the Company’s customers. Furthermore, if the Company
cannot obtain sufficient food products or its suppliers cease to be available, the Company could experience shortages in its food
products or be unable to meet its commitments to customers. Alternative sources of food products, if available, may be more expensive.
For periods in which the prices are declining, the Company may be required to write down its inventory carrying cost which, depending
on the extent of the differences between market price and carrying cost, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money
market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents at January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018.

Marketable
securities
During
January 2018, as part of the legal settlement with Monaker Group, Inc. (“Monaker”), NestBuilder received Monaker common
shares valued at $32,270, which we have classified as “available for sale” securities until being spun-off on August
1, 2018 (see Note 10). Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115,
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
, our marketable securities are trading securities and changes are reflected
in our consolidated statement of operations.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts.
In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make
required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop
or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations. At January 31, 2019 and
October 31, 2018, the Company determined there was no requirement for an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of net realizable value, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or cost. Net realizable value is
based on estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and transportation.
All inventory are considered finished goods.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”
(“ASC 820”), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. ASC 820 defines “fair value”
as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
ASC
820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level
2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
Level
3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s
best estimate of fair value.
Financial
instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, due from affiliates, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets
approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of short and long-term debt is based on
current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair
value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from
these financial instruments.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is derived from the sale of food and beverage products. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract
with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured
as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The amount of consideration
the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers
and their customers. In the event any discounts, sales incentives, or similar arrangements are agreed to with a customer, such
amounts are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue
(see Note 4).
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company computes share based payments in accordance with ASC 718-10,
Compensation
(“ASC 718-10”). ASC 718-10
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services
at fair value, focusing primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employees services in share-based
payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services
that are based on the fair value of an entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity
instruments. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment No. 107
(“SAB 107”) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations.
The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based
awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50,
Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees
. The Company estimates the fair value
of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Convertible
Debt Instruments
The
Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial
conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) ASC. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and
as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Foreign
Currency
Assets
and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end
exchange rates and profit and loss accounts have been translated using average exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains
and losses are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
loss. Assets and liabilities of an entity that are denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency
are re-measured into the functional currency using end of period exchange rates or historical rates, where applicable to certain
balances. Gains and losses related to these re-measurements are recorded within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations
as a component of other income (expense).
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10,
Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the
estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based
on changes to the assets or liabilities from year-to-year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations
of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies.
If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value
of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based
on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC
740 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant
tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not”
threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company’s tax returns for its
October 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 tax years may be selected for examination by the taxing authorities as the statute of limitations
remains open.
The
Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities
upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices for the tax years ended October 31, 2018
and 2017.
Earnings
Per Share
In
accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260,
Earnings per Share
, basic earnings per share (“EPS”)
is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating
EPS on a diluted basis.
In
computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce EPS or increase loss per share, are included.
The effect of contingently issuable shares are not included if the result would be anti-dilutive, such as when a net loss is reported.
Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted average shares for the three months ended January
31, 2019 and January 31, 2018 as we incurred a net loss for those periods. At January 31, 2019, there were outstanding warrants
to purchase up to 21,205,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 695,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock to be issued, which may dilute future EPS. At January 31, 2018, there were outstanding warrants to purchase up to
16,786,467 shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately 256,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
to be issued, which may dilute future EPS.
Shipping
and Handling Costs
Shipping
and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped are included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for three
months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was $73,915 and $32,341, respectively.
Concentrations,
Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company’s ongoing operations are related to the international food industries, and its prospects for success are tied indirectly
to interest rates and the worldwide demand for the Company’s food and beverage products.

Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
Effective
November 1, 2018, the Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The new guidance
sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and
is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in US
GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the
goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that
were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method,
which did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company expects the impact to net income of the new
standard will be immaterial on an ongoing quarterly and annual basis. The comparative information has not been restated and continues
to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding
the Company’s adoption of ASC 606.
Effective November 1, 2018,
the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification
of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which provides clarification on classifying a variety
of activities within the statement of cash flows. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.
Effective
November 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash
(“ASU 2016-18”),
which changes the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows by including restricted
cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period
total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Effective
November 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(“ASU 2017-01”), which clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities
with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The Company determined
the adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Effective November 1, 2018,
the Company adopted ASU 2017-09,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
(“ASU
2017-09”), which clarifies and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance
in Topic 718,
Compensation—Stock Compensation
, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.
The Company determined the adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Effective
November 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-12,
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting
for Hedging Activities
(“ASU 2017-12”), which provides new guidance about income statement classification and
eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The Company determined the adoption of ASU
2017-12 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard amends the existing accounting standards
for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes
to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02
is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered
into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In September 2017, the FASB issued
ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases
(Topic 842, which amends certain aspects of the new lease standard). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting
ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2017-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair
Value Measurement, to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based
on the concepts in the Concept Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The standard is effective for the
Company as of November 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have
a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material
impact on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
NOTE
3: GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The
Company incurred a net loss of $338,489 and has generated positive cash flows from operations of $19,198 for the three
months ended January 31, 2019. At January 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,910,611, and an accumulated
deficit of $26,443,229. It is management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing, without additional debt or
equity financing. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In
order to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months from the date of this filing and to fund the growth
of the food business, the Company may consider plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt. Although
the Company intends to obtain additional financing to meet its cash needs, the Company may be unable to secure any additional
financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to it, if at all.

Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on a relative fair value basis. Beneficial
conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion and Debt Topics of the FASB ASC. The amounts allocated
to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discount and as additional paid-in-capital. Debt discount is

At
January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, there was $624,564 and $622,026 of convertible notes payable outstanding, net of discounts
of $2,227 and $4,765, respectively. Additionally, at January 31, 2019, the Company was in default with respect to certain convertible
notes as a result of not having sufficient shares of common stock available for issuance upon the conversion of such notes and
certain cross-default provisions. The default provisions include 1) default interest rates ranging from 18% to 24% per annum,
and 2) an increase in the total amount due calculated by multiplying the aggregate of the then outstanding principal amount of
the note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus default interest by 200%. At January 31, 2019, the principal
amount of the notes, including accrued interest totaled $1,792,790, consisting of $875,100 of default principal and $241,013 of
default interest.
During
the three months ended January 31, 2019, there were no conversions of convertible notes into shares of the Company’s common
stock and no payments toward the outstanding balances of convertible notes.

of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per shares, of which 1,500,000,000 are outstanding at January 31, 2019
and 125,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share of which (A) 120,000,000 shares have been designated as

as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 455,801 shares are outstanding at January 31, 2019. At January 31, 2019, the
Company does not have any shares of common stock available for issuance, which triggered a default on certain convertible notes
payable (see Note 5).
On January 11, 2019, stockholders
holding a majority of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of voting stock, executed a written
consent approving 1) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate
of Incorporation”) to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 7,500,000,000 shares
from 1,500,000,000 shares and (ii) decrease the par value of the common stock and preferred stock to $0.000001 from $0.001 per
share; and 2) granting discretionary authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to amend the Certificate of Incorporation
to effect one or more consolidations of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, pursuant to which the
shares of common stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of common stock at a ratio within the range from 1-for-2
up to 1-for-400 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), provided that, (X) that the Company may not effect Reverse Stock Splits
that, in the aggregate, exceed 1-for-400, and (Y) any Reverse Stock Split may not be completed later than January 11, 2020. The
increase in authorized shares of common stock will occur upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation which amendment may not be filed prior to such date that is at least 20 days after the mailing of the Company’s
information statement on Schedule 14C to stockholders of the Company. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not increased
its authorized shares of common stock.

NOTE
8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mid-Atlantic
CFO Advisory Services (“Mid-Atlantic”) v. Verus Foods and Anshu Bhatnagar, Case No. 2018-16824. This case stems from
the Company’s use of Mid-Atlantic’s services for certain business transactions and the Company’s failure to
pay for such services. On December 28, 2018, a Confirmation of Arbitration Award and Final Judgment Order was approved, awarding
Mid-Atlantic an amount which included claimed services, attorney’s fees, arbitration costs and fees, and interest of 4%
percent per annum from November 22, 2018. At January 31, 2019, the amount due to Mid-Atlantic under this judgment, including interest,
was $199,489 and is included within other income (expense) in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three
months ended January 31, 2019.
Note
9: Segment reporting
Through
July 31, 2018, the Company had two reportable segments: real estate and food products. On August 1, 2018, the real estate segment
was spun-off into a separate public company, leaving the Company with only the food products segment (see Note 10).
NOTE
10: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Through
July 31, 2018, we operated a real estate segment which generated revenue from service fees (for video creation and production
and website hosting (ReachFactor)) and product sales (Nestbuilder Agent 2.0 and Microvideo app). The real estate segment was formed
through the merging of three divisions: (i) our fully licensed real estate division (formerly known as Webdigs); (ii) our TV media
contracts (Home Preview Channel /Extraordinary Vacation Homes) division; and (iii) our Real Estate Virtual Tour and Media group
(RealBiz 360). The assets of these divisions were used to create a new suite of real estate products and services that created
stickiness through the utilization of video, social media and loyalty programs. At the core of our programs was our proprietary
video creation technology which allowed for an automated conversion of data (text and pictures of home listings) to a video with
voice and music. We provided video search, storage and marketing capabilities on multiple platform dynamics for web, mobile and
TV. Once a home, personal or community video was created using our proprietary technology, it could be published to social media,
email or distributed to multiple real estate websites, broadband or television for consumer viewing.
As
a result of the spin-off of our real estate segment, all related assets and liabilities for periods prior to August 1, 2018 are
disclosed net as current assets and current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets, and all related income and expenses
are disclosed net as income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations.
The
