PART I
Item 1. Business.
Company
The 4LESS Group, Inc., formerly known as MedCareers Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “Group”), was re-incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.
The 4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”) was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad, LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status at inception which was terminated upon the merger with Group. The Corporation operates as an e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company. As a result of the share exchange, the Company is now a holding company operating through 4LESS and offers products including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, and shocks.
The 4LESS Group, Inc. (“Group”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”), the Company described herein, is a Nevada corporation, with offices located at 4580 N. Rancho Dr., #130, Las Vegas, NV 89130 with a remote office at 106 W Mayflower, Las Vegas, Nevada 89030. It can be reached by phone at (610) 510-5866.
On or around November 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”) with Nurses Lounge, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Nurses Lounge”) and the nine shareholders of Nurses Lounge (the “Nurses Lounge Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Exchange, we agreed to issue 24,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to the Nurses Lounge Shareholders in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Nurses Lounge. Although 24,000,000 restricted shares were issued in connection with the Exchange, certain significant shareholders of the Company also agreed to cancel some of the shares they owned so that the net effect of the Exchange was an increase to the outstanding shares by 7,175,000 shares rather than 24,000,000. Included in the shareholders receiving shares in connection with the Exchange, was Timothy Armes founder and president of Nurses Lounge, Inc., who received 14,902,795 shares. In December 2018 Nurses Lounge was disposed of as more fully described elsewhere in this Form 10-K and in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Auto Parts 4Less
Like many small businesses Auto Parts 4Less Inc. (“4LESS” previously named The 4Less Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of The 4Less Group, Inc.) was born from humble beginnings; in 2013 Christopher Davenport, the founder of 4LESS, began selling auto parts on eBay and shipping those items out of his garage. However, what started out as a hobby, quickly grew into a fully functioning ecommerce aftermarket auto parts company that required a significant technical staff and facilities to support their growth. In June of 2015, they leased their first office.
Originally the company generated most of its revenues from 3rd party companies to list their auto parts in the different marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Jet. However, using these 3rd party companies was inefficient, cumbersome, slow and very expensive.
Since 2016 the company has invested heavily to become their own listing platform that allows their auto parts to be direct listed across marketplace and social media sites. We have completed multiple technical achievements including CRM system, warehouse integration API, warehouse inventory software to name a few.
Presently, 4LESS operates 3 branded websites: LiftKits4LESS.com, Bumpers4LESS.com and TruckBedCovers4LESS.com. In total, these sites represent products from over 1,000 manufacturers.
In 2019, with technology upgrades in place, 4Less began successfully moving majority of its sales from third party marketplaces direct to their proprietary web sites. By doing so the company saves between 8%-10% in fees charged by the market place as well as further building the 4less brand as a leading marketplace for auto parts.
On November 19, 2019 The 4Less Group acquired the URL Autoparts4Less.com and changed the name of their wholly owned subsidiary from the 4Less Corp. to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc. With the acquisition of the URL AutoParts4Less.com, 4Less is focusing all of their efforts and resources on building out a flagship automotive E-tailing site with the potential to list and sell literally millions of parts that will include automotive specialty equipment parts and accessories, targeted “niche” web sites and potentially a used auto parts exchange one day as well.
Competition
Our niche web sites are unique in the market place and currently we do not see any other competitors managing multiple web sites in the aftermarket auto parts industry. We directly compete for buyers to use our web sites over current e-commerce giants that we sell through such as Amazon and eBay. However, our web sites offer substantial value-added content including installation guides, install videos, high impact photos, order customization and live chat with a technical expert. We believe all these value-adds give our web sites significant advantages over large “all things to all people” online market places. While there are several other small ecommerce sellers in the marketplace, their sites presently do not offer the technical flexibility to sell across all marketplaces seamlessly. Presently we do not see them as a significant threat to market share.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not applicable.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Nature of Business – The 4LESS Group, Inc., formerly known as MedCareers Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “MCGI”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.
On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4Less Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.
Like many small businesses Auto Parts 4Less (“4LESS” previously named The 4less Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of The 4Less Group, Inc.) was born from humble beginnings; in 2013 Christopher Davenport, the founder of 4LESS, began selling auto parts on eBay and shipping those items out of his garage. But, what started out as a hobby, quickly grew into a fully functioning ecommerce aftermarket auto parts company that required a significant technical staff and facilities to support their growth. In June of 2015, they leased their first office.
- 15 -
Originally the company outsourced much of their operations to 3rd party companies to list their auto parts in the different marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Jet. However, using these 3rd party companies was inefficient, cumbersome, slow and very expensive.
Since 2016 the company has invested heavily to become their own listing platform that allows their auto parts to be direct listed across marketplace and social media sites. We have completed multiple technical achievements including CRM system, warehouse integration API, warehouse inventory software to name a few.
Presently, 4LESS operates 3 branded websites: LiftKits4LESS.com, Bumpers4LESS.com and TruckBedCovers4LESS.com. In total, these sites represent products from over 1,000 manufacturers.
In 2019, with technology upgrades in place, 4Less began successfully moving majority of sales from third party marketplaces direct to their proprietary web sites. By doing so the company saves 8%-10% in fees charged by the market place as well as further building the 4less brand as a leading marketplace for auto parts.
On November 19, 2019 The 4Less Group acquired the URL Autoparts4Less.com and changed the name of their wholly owned subsidiary from the 4Less Corp. to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc. With the acquisition of the URL AutoParts4Less.com, 4Less is focusing all of their efforts and resources on building out a flagship automotive E-tailing site with the potential to list and sell literally millions of parts that will include automotive specialty equipment parts and accessories, targeted “niche” web sites and potentially a used auto parts exchange one day as well.
Our niche web sites are unique in the market place and currently we do not see any other competitors managing multiple web sites in the aftermarket auto parts. We directly compete for buyers to use our web sites over current e-commerce giants that we sell through such as Amazon and eBay. However, our web sites offer substantial value-added content including installation guides, install videos, high impact photos, order customization and live chat with a technical expert. We believe all these value-adds give our web sites significant advantages over large “all things to all people” online market places. While there are several other small ecommerce sellers in the marketplace, their sites presently do not offer the technical flexibility to sell across all marketplaces seamlessly. Presently we do not see them as a significant threat to market share. 4Less management believes that the 4Less proprietary web sites offer the best buying experience for consumers interested in purchasing aftermarket auto parts on the internet today. As a result of these many upgrades, the complexity of many of our products and the ability to drive more traffic to our proprietary websites where margins are greater, we expect all of these decisions to help The 4Less Corp achieve growth goals for 2021.

We had total revenue of $8,186,214 for the year ended January 31, 2020, compared to $8,312,610 for the year ended January 31, 2019. Sales decreased by $126,396 due to discontinued sales on certain third party websites which was offset by lower e-commerce service, commissions and fees costs of $ 199,838 included in operating expenses and explained below. The Company’s focus in 2019 was growing its proprietary website revenues and the Company was successful in that, increasing its proprietary website revenue by 83%. The company believes this strategy will lead to higher revenues and lower overall costs in the future.
Gross Profit
We had gross profit of $1,911,025 for the year ended January 31, 2020, compared to gross profit of $2,197,106 for the year ended January 31, 2019. Gross profit decreased by $286,081 partly because of the decreased revenues above and partly because of an increase in cost of revenue due to a change in product mix and cost increases from vendors that we were unable to pass on to customers.

• Depreciation decreased by $6,126 due to asset disposals in 2020, thus a lower asset value is being depreciated.
• Postage shipping and freight increased due to fewer drop shipments to customers in 2020.
• Marketing and advertising increased due to greater promotional efforts to drive sales to our proprietary websites.
• E Commerce Services, Commissions and Fees decreased by $199,838 because due to discontinued sales on certain third party websites those related fees were no longer being paid. See Revenue explanation above.
• Operating Lease Cost increased by $43,038 due to two new operating leases.
• Personnel Costs increased by $74,884 due to a full year of consolidated costs with the parent company vs approximately two months of consolidated costs in 2019.
• General and Administrative increased by $587,591 mainly due full year of consolidated costs with the parent company vs approximately two months of consolidated costs in 2019.This increase was primarily from increases in professional fees, travel and general office expenses.

The results of the year ended January 31, 2020 were generally higher because they were the combined operations of The 4 Less Group Inc. which contained the interest, discount and derivatives derived from the convertible debt whereas the prior period consisted only the combined results from the merger date of November 20,2018 to January 31, 2019. 2019 also shows the charges of the merger which included the gain on sale of subsidiary and the impairment of goodwill.
We had a net loss of $3,879,846 for the year ended January 31, 2020, compared to a net loss of $8,125,498 for the year ended January 31, 2019 due to the factors mentioned above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $162,124 of cash, $371,896 of inventory and total current liabilities of $8,013,651. We had negative working capital of $7,470,466 as of January 31, 2020.
Net cash (used in) operations for the year ended January 31, 2020 was $(1,154,311) compared to $(669,041) for the year ended January 31, 2019.
Net cash provided from (used) investing activities for the year ended January 31, 2020 was $109,080 compared to $(56,495) for the year ended January 31, 2019.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2020 was $1,147,954 compared to $407,104 for the year ended January 31, 2019. In both years the cash provided from financing activities was from the net proceeds of notes payable and in 2020 additionally the proceeds on short-term debt.
Subsequent to year end, through the date of filing of this Form 10-K, holders of our convertible notes exercised conversion rights and converted $2,585 of principal and $498 of accrued and unpaid interest into 82,361 shares of common stock. In addition, a holder of $1,070,034 in principal of convertible notes and $122,000 in principal of short term notes and $198,028 of accrued and unpaid interest entered into an agreement to convert the total principal and accrued and unpaid interest into 250 shares of Series C preferred stock.
The Company has borrowed funds and/or sold stock for working capital. These transactions are detailed in the section “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities”.
Currently the Company does not have sufficient cash reserves to meet its contractual obligations and its ongoing monthly expenses, which the Company anticipates totaling approximately $4,000,000 over the next 12 months. Historically, revenues have not been sufficient to cover operating costs that would permit the Company to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has been able to continue operating to date largely from loans made by its shareholders, other debt financings and sale of common stock. The Company is currently looking at both short-term and more permanent financing opportunities, including debt or equity funding, bridge or short-term loans, and/or traditional bank funding, but we have not decided on any specific path moving forward. Until we have raised sufficient funding to pay our ongoing expenses associated with being a public company, and we have sufficient funds to support our planned operations, the Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to meet its short and long-term liquidity needs, until necessary financing is secured. The Company generates revenue from the Nurses Lounge business, which the Company hopes will increase to the point where the Company can finance at least a substantial portion of the Company’s obligations, of which there can be no assurance.
- 18 -
We do not currently have any additional formal commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, director or significant shareholders. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we are not able to raise the capital necessary to continue our business operations, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling additional debt or equity securities, selling assets, if any, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders, and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Revenue is recorded net of provisions for discounts and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts and promotional allowances vary the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to customers. The Company recognizes these discounts and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The customer pays the Company by credit card prior to delivery.
The Company offers a 30 day satisfaction guaranteed return policy however the customer must pay for the return shipment. The return must be previously authorized, cannot be either damaged or previously installed and must be in saleable condition. In the Company’s experience this amount is immaterial and therefore no provision has been recorded on the Company’s books. Any defective merchandise falls under the manufacturer’s limited warranty and is subject to the manufacturer’s inspection. The manufacturer has the option to repair or replace the item.
- 19 -
All sales to customers are generally final. However, the Company accepts returned product due to quality or issues relating to product description or incorrect product orders and in such instances the Company would replace the product or refund the customers funds The Company’s customers generally pre-pay for the products.
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
As of January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s derivative liabilities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note 9.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2020:

Derivative Liability
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments. As of January 31, 2020, warrants to purchase 0 common shares (583 shares before the reverse split of 2/25/2020 referred to in Note 6) issued in July 2014 were not classified as derivative liability while the remaining warrants outstanding were classified as derivative liability based on the FIFO method.
- 20 -
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 7), the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of January 31, 2020 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date. The other inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 9. Change in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On April 30, 2019 the Board of Directors of The 4Less Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), approved and ratified the engagement of Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, effective immediately, and dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Pursuant to applicable rules, the Company makes the following additional disclosures:
(a) The report of Marcum on the consolidated financial statements of MedCareers Group, Inc. as of January 31, 2018 and for the year then ended did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the period from August 8, 2018 through April 30, 2019, there were no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction would have caused Marcum to make reference thereto in connection with its report on the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2018. During the period from August 8, 2018 through April 30, 2019, with the exception of material weaknesses related to our internal control over financial reporting, there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
(b) During the period from August 8, 2018 and through April 30, 2019, the Company did not consult with Fruci with respect to any matter whatsoever including without limitation with respect to any of (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or an event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On October 25, 2019, Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of The 4Less Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).
- 21 -
On October 25, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and ratified the engagement of LJ Soldinger & Associates LLC (“Soldinger”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
Pursuant to applicable rules, the Company makes the following additional disclosures:
(a) During the period from April 30, 2019 through October 25, 2019, there were no disagreements with Fruci on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to Fruci’s satisfaction would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the period from April 30, 2019 through October 25, 2019, there were no events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
(b) During the period from April 30, 2019 and through October 25, 2019, the Company did not consult with Soldinger with respect to any matter whatsoever including without limitation with respect to any of (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or an event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure on Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of January 31, 2020. This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) who concluded that 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have identified the following material weaknesses and significant deficiencies:
Material weaknesses
• | General Material Weakness that the Company does not invest sufficient resources at all times over the entire year in its accounting and reporting functions. |
|
|
• | The Company does not record revenue in accordance with US GAAP in its general ledger. |
|
|
• | The Company did not properly account for all the penalties incurred by its convertible notes. |
Significant deficiencies
• | The Company is unable to timely report on the rollback of its inventory. |
|
|
• | The Company failed to properly account for the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. |
In order to remedy our existing internal control deficiencies, as our finances allow, we will hire additional accounting staff.
Management’s Annual 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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
- 22 -
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework) at January 31, 2020. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that, as of January 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of limited staff and a need for a full time chief financial officer and the identification of the material weaknesses described above. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls 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.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.

Chris Davenport |
| 50 |
| President of Autoparts4lessThe 4LESS Corp |
| October 2013 |
Timothy Armes: Mr. Armes has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of The 4Less Group (formerly MedCareers Group, Inc.) since August 2011. From February 2011 to August 2011, Mr. Armes served as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Since August 2011, Mr. Armes has served as the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. In 1992 Mr. Armes launched one of the first online job bulletin boards which eventually grew into jobs.com. As CEO of Jobs.com he raised over 100 million dollars and grew it into one of the top employment web sites before leaving the company in May of 2000. Mr. Armes began his career as an auditor for Ernst and Young and then as a real estate workout specialist with different firms in the mid 1980’s. Mr. Armes obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting from the University of Texas in 1980 and passed the Certified Public Accountant exam.
Director Qualifications:
The Company believes that Mr. Armes is well qualified to serve as a Director of the Company because of his significant experience working with and building Nurses Lounge (which since November 2010 has been our wholly-owned operating subsidiary); his prior experience growing Jobs.com, and his financial and accounting background.
- 23 -
Christopher Davenport: Mr. Davenport received his MBA from the University of California in September 2005 where he was recognized by his classmates as “the Most Innovative Thinker”. Before founding The 4Less Corp, Mr. Davenports’ previous business provided mobile dental services to the employees of the largest gaming corporations in the world. These contracts covered the lives of several hundred thousand employees on the Las Vegas strip. Due to the nature of the mobile facilities, Mr. Davenport implemented several new technologies at the time such as: filmless radiography, virtual patient charts and VPN networks to make for seamless quality health care. Soon after, Mr. Davenport expanded his mobile dental company to the military where he won several multiyear, multi-million dollars medical/dental National Guard Medical Readiness contracts. Mr. Davenport has a proven history of implementing innovative technologies that demonstrates his ability to lead The 4Less Corp into the future.
Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of Timothy Armes), is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors reviews the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. The Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the sole director.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an independent board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.
We believe that our sole director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The sole director does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the sole director. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our sole director and our executive officer has not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1. | any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
|
|
2. | any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
|
|
3. | being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
|
|
4. | being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
- 24 -
Board Meetings and Annual Meeting
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, our Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of Timothy Armes) did not meet or hold any formal meetings. We did not hold an annual meeting in the year ended January 31, 2020. In the absence of formal board meetings, the Board conducted all of its business and approved all corporate actions during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 by the unanimous written consent of its sole director.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The sole director believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive Officer, at the address appearing on the first page of this report.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Summary Compensation Table
The table below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
The Company does not have any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement with its named executive officers that provides for payments to a named executive officer at, following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of the Company, or a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.
Retirement Plans
The Company does not have any plan that provides for the payment of retirement benefits, or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement.
Compensation of Directors
In the past, the Company has not instituted a policy of compensating non-management directors. However, the Company plans to use stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on its Board of Directors. In setting director compensation, the Company will consider the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the skill-level required by the Company of its Board members.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our voting common stock, as of May 5, 2020, by: (i) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock; (ii) each of our officers and directors (provided that Mr. Armes currently serves as our sole director); and (iii) all of our officers and directors as a group.
Based on information available to us, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, unless otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person or a group and the percentage ownership of that person or group, shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the date of this filing are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. The following table is based on 536,765 common shares issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2020 reflecting the reverse splits.

As a result of the acquisition of the 4Less Corp in November 2018 and disposition of Nurses Lounge in December of 2018, Mr. Armes canceled 100 million shares (16,666 post split) of his approximate 129,628,000 common shares he owned (21,604 post split).

As part of the acquisition of the 4Less Corp., Christopher Davenport, the founder and president of The 4Less Corp, received 17,100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing approximately 89% of the 20,000 Series B Preferred stock outstanding, 6,075 shares of Series C Preferred stock outstanding which can be converted into approximately 60% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and 675 shares of Series D Preferred stock.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we had not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officers, director(s) and significant stockholders. However, the Company makes it a practice of having its Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of Mr. Armes) approve and ratify all related party transactions. In connection with such approval and ratification, the Board of Directors takes into account several factors, including their fiduciary duties to the Company; the relationships of the related parties to the Company; the material facts underlying each transaction; the anticipated benefits to the Company and related costs associated with such benefits; whether comparable products or services are available; and the terms the Company could receive from an unrelated third party.
We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, the Board of Directors will continue to approve any related party transaction based on the criteria set forth above.
Director Independence
We currently only have one director, Timothy Armes, who is not independent. We have no current plans to appoint any independent directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of The 4Less Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The 4Less Group, Inc. (the Company) as of January 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2020 and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully explained in Note 2, which includes management’s plans in regards to this uncertainty, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.88 million and has a negative working capital of $7.47 million and an accumulated deficit of $21.57 million as of and for the year ended January 31, 2020 and therefore there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The 4LESS Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The 4LESS Group, Inc. (“the Company”) as of January 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has cumulative losses, a working capital deficit, debt in default, and limited cash balances. 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

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

THE 4LESS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2020 and 2019
Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business – The 4LESS Group, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company, under the name MedCareers Group, Inc. (“MCGI” ) formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.
On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.
4LESS was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad, LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status. The Corporation operates as an e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company. As a result of the share exchange, the Company is now a holding company operating through 4LESS and offers products including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, and shocks. On December 30, 2019 4LESS changed its name to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of The 4LESS Group, Inc. as well as Auto Parts 4Less, Inc.(formerly The 4LESS Corp.) and JBJ Wholesale LLC. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
F-7
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods.
Concentrations
Cost of Goods Sold
For the year ended January 31, 2020 the Company purchased approximately 59% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of January 31, 2020, the net amount due to the vendors included in accounts payable was $369,592. For the year ended January 31,2019, the Company purchased its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three third-party vendors (68%). As of January 31, 2019, the net amount due to theses vendors included in accounts payable was $162,514. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.
Leases
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of February 1, 2019, using the full retrospective approach. The full retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. In our application of hindsight, we evaluated the performance of the leased stores and the associated markets in relation to our overall real estate strategies, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $454,087 and $454,087 respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings, retained earnings and had no impact on cash flows
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets were revalued based on the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. A corresponding offset has been made to the valuation allowance, and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects on the Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
F-8
On November 29, 2018, the Company completed a reverse merger with 4LESS. At such time that there was a change in control, all net operating losses for tax purposes of the parent were no longer available for carryforward and the parent started to accumulate profits or losses from that point forward.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
As of January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s derivative liabilities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note 9.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2020:

Related Party Transactions
The Company has a verbal policy that includes procedures intended to ensure compliance with the related party provisions in common practice for public companies. For purposes of the policy, a “related party transaction” is a transaction in which the Company or any one of its subsidiaries participates and in which a related party has a direct or indirect material interest, other than ordinary course, arms-length transactions of less than 1% of the revenue of the counterparty. Any transaction exceeding the 1% threshold, and any transaction involving consulting, financial advisory, legal or accounting services that could impair a director’s independence, must be approved by the CEO. Any related party transaction in which an executive officer or a Director has a personal interest, or which could present a possible conflict under the Guide to Ethical Conduct, must be approved by Board of Directors, following appropriate disclosure of all material aspects of the transaction.
F-9
Derivative Liability
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments. As of January 31, 2020, warrants to purchase 0 common shares (583 shares before the reverse split of 2/25/2020 referred to in Note 6) issued in July 2014 were not classified as derivative liability while the remaining warrants outstanding were classified as derivative liability based on the FIFO method.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 7), the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of January 31, 2020 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date. The other inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders, and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
F-10
Revenue is recorded net of provisions for discounts and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts and promotional allowances vary the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to customers. The Company recognizes these discounts and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The customer pays the Company by credit card prior to delivery.
The Company offers a 30 day satisfaction guaranteed return policy however the customer must pay for the return shipment. The return must be previously authorized, cannot be either damaged or previously installed and must be in saleable condition. In the Company’s experience this amount is immaterial and therefore no provision has been recorded on the Company’s books. Any defective merchandise falls under the manufacturer’s limited warranty and is subject to the manufacturer’s inspection. The manufacturer has the option to repair or replace the item.
All sales to customers are generally final. However, the Company accepts returned product due to quality or issues relating to product description or incorrect product orders and in such instances the Company would replace the product or refund the customers funds The Company’s customers generally pre-pay for the products.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.
Loss per Common Share
ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. EPS has been adjusted to reflect the effects of stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse stock splits back to inception.
Basic net loss per share of common stock excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity unless inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Since the Company has only incurred losses, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same. Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share at January 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of Topic 350 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.We will adopt on February 1, 2020 and expect no impact.
F-11
Fair Value Measurement: In 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to remove, modify and add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removed or modified disclosure requirements. Transition is on a prospective basis for the new and modified disclosures, and on a retrospective basis for disclosures that have been eliminated. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the above, the Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative losses through January 31, 2020 of $21,569,153 and has a working capital deficit at January 31, 2020 of $7,470,466. As of January 31, 2020, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents of $162,124 and had a significant amount of short-term debt in default. The short-term debt agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. While the Company has continued to grow its revenues, at this time, revenues still do not cover all of its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plan is to raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity in order to continue to fund losses until such time as revenues are able to sustain the Company. To date, the main source of funding has been through the issuance of convertible notes with provisions that allow the holder to convert the debt and accrued and unpaid interest at substantial discounts to the trading the price of our common stock and through factored promissory notes secured by substantially all of the assets of our operating subsidiary. The effect of the conversions in the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for the convertible notes has been to substantially dilute existing holders of common stock of our Company. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in being able to continue to obtain additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – PROPERTY
The Company capitalizes all property purchases over $1,000 and depreciates the assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 3 years for computers and 7 years for all other assets. Property consists of the following at January 31, 2019 and 2018:

During the year ended January 31, 2020 the company disposed of property having a cost of $144,662 and a net book value of $109,527 for proceeds of $125,822.
Depreciation expense was $34,832 and $40,958 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2020 and January 2019, respectively.

NOTE 4 – LEASES
We lease certain warehouses, vehicles and office space. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease and non-lease components.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 17 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019.

Note: As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate of 8% based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We compare against loans we obtain to acquire physical assets and not loans we obtain for financing. The loans we obtain for financing are generally at significantly higher rates and we believe that physical space or vehicle rental agreements are in line with physical asset financing agreements. CAM charges were not included in operating lease expense and were expensed in general and administrative expenses as incurred.
Operating lease cost was $117,841 and $74,803 for both the twelve months ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019, respectively.
In September 2019 the Company entered into an operating lease for premises with an annual rent of $15,480, a three year term commencing September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022 and a one year renewal option.
In October 2019 the Company entered into an operating lease for a vehicle with an annual cost of $9,067 and a three year term. The company paid initial fees of $17,744 and will pay fees on lease termination of $395. On a straight-line basis these costs amount to $1,259 per month.

(i) If the Company fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, or, if the effective Conversion Price as calculated in Section 4(a) is less than $0.0001 at any time (regardless of whether or not a Conversion Notice has been submitted to the Company), the Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (under Holder’s and Company’s expectation that any Principal Amount increase will tack back to the Issuance Date). In addition, the Conversion Price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of (a) $0.00001 or (b) 50% of the lowest traded price during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, an Event of Default (as defined herein) occurs, then an additional discount of 15% shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 65% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). These above contingencies have not occurred.
(ii) In the event the Company experiences a DTC ” Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 40% instead of 50% while that “Chill” is in effect. If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 4x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.
(iii) The share purchase agreements ancillary to the convertible note agreements do not allow the lender to engage in short sales.
(iv) If the Company becomes delinquent or continues its delinquency in its periodic filings with the SEC after the 6-months anniversary of the note, then the holder is entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion.
(v) In the event the Company experiences a DTC ” Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 42% instead of 52% while that “Chill” is in effect.
(vi) If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 4x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.
(vii) If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 3x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.
(viii) If at any time while this Note is outstanding, an event of default occurs, then an additional discount of 15% shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 65% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC, an additional 10% discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding
(ix) If the Company fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, or, if the effective Conversion Price is less than $0.01 at any time, the Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by ten thousand dollars ($10,000). In addition, the Conversion price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of (a) $0.001 or (b) 50% of the lowest traded price during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.
F-16
(x) In the event that shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC following the conversion of any amount hereunder, an additional ten percent (10%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 55% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). Additionally, if the Borrower fails to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (including but not limited to becoming late or delinquent in its filings, even if the Borrower subsequently cures such delinquency) at any time while after the Issue Date, and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the exchange Act, an additional fifteen percent (15%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 60% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder).
(xi) If the Borrower’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC, becomes chilled at any point while this Note remains outstanding or deposit or other additional fees are payable due to a Yield Sign, Stop Sign or other trading restrictions, or if the closing price at any time falls below $0.01 (as appropriately and equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock contributions and similar events), then an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price for any and all Conversions submitted thereafter.
The Company had accrued interest payable of $703,270 and $463,839 on the notes at January 31,2020, and January 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that some instruments should be classified as liabilities due to there being a variable number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The instruments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period or termination of the instrument with the change in fair value recorded to earnings. The fair value of the embedded conversion option resulted in a discount to the note on the debt modification date. For the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded amortization expense of $800,159 and $248,247, respectively. See more information in Note 7.
During the year ended January 31, 2020 the Company entered into new convertible notes totaling $1,149,074 with one year maturities, interest rates ranging from 8%-15%, the Company received $958,250 in cash proceeds, recorded original issue discounts of $73,675, debt discounts from bifurcated conversion features of $1,077,844,and loan and interest of $117,149 was transferred from existing notes of the same lender.
During the year ended January 31, 2020 the Company converted a total of $752,409 of the convertible notes, $240,035 accrued interest and $27,850 in fees into 536,613 common shares and the Company released the associated derivative liability of $755,253 referred to in Note 7. Also, $482,709 in loan penalties, transfers and adjustments were added to various note balances and recorded as interest expense.
As of January 31, 2020, the Company had $1,132,966 of aggregate debt in default. The agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. The Company continues to accrue interest at the listed rates, and plans to seek their conversion or payoff within the next twelve months.
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
As of January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019, the Company had derivative liabilities of $2,611,125 and $2,041,260, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $180,552 and during the year ended January 31, 2019 the company recorded a gain of $3,231,187, from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, respectively. Any liabilities resulting from the warrants outstanding are immaterial.
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input for valuing financial instruments.
The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the year ended January 31, 2020. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category.

The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices which are linked to the trading and/or bid prices of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTC market.
As the price of the common stock varies it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using the lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s warrant liabilities and embedded conversion feature that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2020 is as follows:

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability) or benefit (deferred tax asset). Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The following is a reconciliation of the expected statutory federal income tax provision to the actual income tax benefit for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020(in thousands):

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the expected tax benefit is calculated at the 2019 statutory rate of 21%. The effect for temporary timing differences are also calculated at the 25% statutory rate effective for fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.
For the year ended January 31, 2020, the expected tax benefit, temporary timing differences and long-term timing differences are calculated at the 21% statutory rate.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019:

The Company has incurred losses since inception, therefore, the Company has no federal tax liability. Additionally there are limitations imposed by certain transactions which are deemed to be ownership changes which occurred in the Company on November 29, 2018. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carryforward was approximately $4.164 million at January 31, 2020 and $614,146 at January 31, 2019, that is available for carryforward for federal income tax purposes and begin to expire in 2039.
F-21
Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards, there is uncertainty as to utilization prior to their expiration. Accordingly, the future income tax asset amounts have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance.
The Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at January 31, 2020 and 2019. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since the Company cannot be assured of realizing the net deferred tax asset, a full valuation allowance has been provided.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at January 31, 2020 and 2019 that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. Because the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to US federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is available. If and when applicable, the Company will recognize interest and penalties as part of income tax expense.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized no amounts related to tax interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions. The Company currently has no years under examination by any jurisdiction.
On November 29, 2018, the Company consummated a share exchange agreement whereby there was a change of control and any net operating losses up to the date of the transaction were forfeited.
The Company’s tax returns for the years ended January 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are open for examination under Federal statute of limitations.
