Item 1. Business.

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated on September 4, 2018 in the State of Delaware.

 

USSE Corp. and USSE Delaware Merger

 

USSE Corp., a Nevada corporation (“USSE Corp.”), was incorporated with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 8, 1998 under the original name C&A Restaurants, Inc. (“C&A Restaurants”). On June 15, 2009, C&A Restaurants changed its name to USSE Corp.

 

Effective September 19, 2018, USSE Corp. re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware pursuant to a merger of USSE Corp. with and into USSE Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Delaware” or “Predecessor”), with USSE Delaware as the surviving entity (the “Re-domestication Merger”). Each share of USSE Corp.’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Re-domestication Merger was automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of USSE Delaware.

 

Immediately following the Re-domestication Merger, USSE Delaware was authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding at such date; and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding at that date; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding at that date.

 

Holding Company Reorganization

 

On September 4, 2018, USSE Delaware acquired 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which represented 100% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock, for no consideration, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware. Also, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization (as defined below), USSE Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Merger Sub”), was our wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Effective on September 19, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), USSE Merger Sub, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware and the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with an into USSE Delaware, our then parent (the “Holding Company Reorganization”). USSE Delaware was the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. USSE Delaware also changed its name to USSE Corp. following the Holding Company Reorganization.

 

Upon completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, by virtue of the merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of USSE Delaware’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Holding Company Reorganization was automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, each share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s preferred stock, having the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the qualifications, limitation, and restrictions thereof, as the corresponding share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and held by USSE Delaware immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled.

 

This resulted in the Company being authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Post-Holding Company Reorganization

 

On October 19, 2018, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 400,000 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock to GMRZ Holdings LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GMRZ”), for services rendered to the Company.

 

Commensurate with the filing of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 22, 2018, every issued and outstanding share of Convertible Series A preferred stock was converted into 1.25 shares of common stock with stockholders’ economic rights preserved. Additionally, at the same time, every share of Convertible Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding was converted into ten shares of common stock with stockholders’ economic rights adversely affected in the conversion. Immediately following the conversion of the aforementioned shares, and upon filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized and unissued shares of Convertible Series A and Convertible Series B preferred stock were cancelled. As of October 22, 2018, the Convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock were removed from the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock.

 

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into a non-binding Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, GMRZ, and Kaival Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Kaival Brands Innovations Group, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“KH”), pursuant to which, on February 20, 2019, GMRZ sold 504,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, representing approximately 88.06 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to KH, and KH paid GMRZ consideration in the amount set forth in the Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with KH becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder. The sole members of KH are Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the members of KH.

 

Effective July 12, 2019, we changed our corporate name from Quick Start Holdings, Inc. to Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into us. We were the surviving entity. To effectuate the merger, we filed Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 20, 2019 and a Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 15, 2019. The merger became effective at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on July 12, 2019 with the State of Delaware and, for purposes of the quotation of our common stock on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s Pink® Open Market (the “OTC Pink”), effective at the open of the market on July 15, 2019. Our board of directors approved the merger, which resulted in the name change on that date. In accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholder approval of the merger was not required.

Business Summary

 

Since inception, we have been engaged in limited organizational efforts; however, we intend to commence business operations in the near term. Currently, we are exploring and evaluating various business opportunities, which may include entering into distribution or other contractual arrangements, or acquiring the assets of an existing company. We anticipate exploring potential business opportunities within the electronic cigarettes and vaporizers and CBD industries as a result of our management’s prior and current business experience within such industries. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any definitive agreements with any party; however, we have engaged in discussions with various parties regarding potential business opportunities. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business or commencement of business operations, rather than immediate, short-term earnings.

 

In the event that management is unable to otherwise commence business operations, and determines that it is necessary to engage in one or more business combinations, we may consider a business that has recently commenced operations, including an entity without an established record of sales or earnings, is in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business that may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. Our management believes that the public company status that results from a combination with us could provide such company greater access to the capital markets, increase its visibility in the investment community, and offer the opportunity to utilize our stock to make acquisitions. However, there is no assurance that we will have greater access to capital due to our public company status and, therefore, a business combination with an operating company in need of additional capital may expose us to additional risks and challenges, including risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may commence business operations or combine with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

 

In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control that may occur in a public offering. We do not anticipate paying a finder’s fee, either in cash or through the issuance of securities, for the consummation of any business acquisition.

 

We intend to search for business opportunities by contacting various sources including, but not limited to, our affiliates, lenders, investment banking firms, private equity funds, financial advisors and similar persons, accounting firms, and attorneys notwithstanding us contacting any business directly. The approximate number of persons or entities that will be contacted is unknown and dependent on whether any opportunities are presented by the sources that we contact. However, there is no assurance that we will identify any viable business opportunities.

 

The risks we may face if we are unable to commence business operations, if such business operations are unsuccessful, if we are unable to acquire or merger with another entity, or if such acquisition or merger is unsuccessful, include, but are not limited to, difficulty in achieving future financing, continuing operations, bankruptcy, litigation, and increasing business operations on a limited or no budget.

 

We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations and opportunities for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury, if any, or with additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management, or other investors. At this time, we are entirely reliant upon cash contributions made by our officers and directors to pay for any and all expenses.

 

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports (legal, accounting, and auditing fees) in the amount of approximately $25,000, or more. We believe we will be able to meet the costs of filing Exchange Act reports during the next 12 months through use of funds to be loaned to or invested in us by Mr. Nirajkumar Patel and Mr. Eric Mosser, our officers and directors, or other stockholders or investors; however, to date, we have had no discussions with these parties regarding funding and no funding commitment for future expenses has been obtained. If in the future we need funds to pay expenses, we will consider these and other yet to be identified options for raising funds and/or paying expenses. However, there is no guarantee that such additional funds will be made available to us or on terms that are favorable to us. Obviously, if our officers and directors, or other stockholders or investors do not loan or invest sufficient funds, then we will not be able to meet our reporting obligations.

 

If we pursue any mergers or acquisitions, we anticipate incurring expenses of approximately between $10,000 and $20,000, or more, to pay for legal fees and audit fees. If we enter into a business combination with a target entity, we will attempt to require the target company to pay the acquisition related fees and expenses as a condition precedent to such an agreement.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act eases restrictions on the sale of securities and increases the number of stockholders a company must have before becoming subject to the reporting and disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

“Blank Check” and Shell Company

 

We, based on current and proposed business activities, are a "blank check" company. The SEC defines a "blank check" company as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51)-1 of the Exchange Act, and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies or other entity or person." Pursuant to Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, we also qualify as a shell company, because we have no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. In addition, many states have enacted statutes, rules, and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions.

 

Employees

 

We presently have no employees apart from our management, which consists of two individuals, Mr. Nirajkumar Patel and Mr. Eric Mosser. Our officers and directors are engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that they will devote to our business approximately five (5) hours per week until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified, or we otherwise commence business operations. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination or commencement of business operations.

We do not have any equity compensation plans, either approved or not approved, by our security holders.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Uses of Proceeds from Registered Securities 

 

On October 19, 2018, we issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 400,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock to GMRZ for services rendered to us. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into ten (10) shares of our common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock was converted into shares of common stock in October 2018. Such shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in that the issuance of shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering did not qualify as a public offering due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, the size of the offering, the manner of the offering, and the number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, this stockholder had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since it agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and, therefore, could not be part of a public offering. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we believe we met the requirements to qualify for the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

 

We did not, nor did any affiliated purchaser, make any repurchases of our equity securities during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports (legal, accounting, and auditing fees) in the amount of approximately $25,000. We believe we will be able to meet the costs of filing Exchange Act reports during the next 12 months through use of funds to be loaned to or invested in us by Mr. Nirajkumar Patel and Mr. Eric Mosser, our officers and directors, or other stockholders. However, there is no guarantee that such additional funds will be made available to us or on terms that are favorable to us. If in the future we need funds to pay expenses, we will consider these and other yet to be identified options for raising funds and/or paying expenses. Obviously, if Mr. Patel, Mr. Mosser, or other investors do not loan to or invest sufficient funds in us, then we will not be able to meet our SEC reporting obligations.

 

If we pursue any mergers or acquisitions, we anticipate incurring expenses of approximately between $10,000 and $20,000, or more, to pay for legal fees and audit fees. If we enter into a business combination with a target entity, we will attempt to require the target company to pay the acquisition related fees and expenses as a condition precedent to such an agreement.

 

Going Concern

 

We have negative working capital, a stockholder deficit, and have no source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the foreseeable future, we will be devoting our efforts to exploring and evaluating business opportunities, which may include merger or acquisition candidates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company or otherwise commence business operations, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of October 31, 2019 or October 31, 2018 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.

 

As of October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, the Company had no assets. The Company’s current liabilities as of October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 totaled $44,886 and $3,000, respectively, which consisted of accrued expenses.

 

Cash Flows

 

The Company had no cash flows from operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2019 and for the period from September 4, 2018 (inception) through October 31, 2018. The Company has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to identify suitable business opportunities. The Company has not generated any revenue from September 4, 2018 (inception), through October 31, 2019. It is unlikely that the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to identify suitable business opportunities and commence operations, of which there can be no assurance. Management believes that these circumstances may hinder the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months is to continue its efforts to locate suitable business opportunities.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $68,849. For the period from September 4, 2018 (inception) through October 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $4,376. In both cases, the net loss consisted of general and administrative expenses.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

We qualify as a smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K and, thus, are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (FKA Quick Start Holdings, Inc.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2019 and the period from September 4, 2018 (inception) through October 31, 2018, 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 October 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2019 and the period from September 4, 2018 (inception) through October 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. 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 audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KAIVAL BRANDS INNOVATIONS GROUP, INC.

FKA QUICK START HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to the Audited Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Kaival Brands, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company,” or the “Registrant”), formerly known as Quick Start Holdings, Inc., was incorporated on September 4, 2018 in the State of Delaware.

 

USSE Corp. and USSE Delaware Merger

 

USSE Corp., a Nevada Corporation (“USSE Nevada”), formerly known as Quick Start Holdings, Inc., was incorporated with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 8, 1998 under the original name C&A Restaurants, Inc. (“C&A Restaurants”). On June 15, 2009, C&A Restaurants changed its name to USSE Corp.

 

Effective September 19, 2018, USSE Nevada re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware pursuant to a merger of USSE Nevada with and into USSE Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Delaware”), with USSE Delaware as the surviving entity (the “Re-domestication Merger”). Each share of USSE Nevada’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Re-domestication Merger was automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of USSE Delaware.

 

Immediately following the Re-domestication Merger, USSE Delaware was authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding at such date; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding at that date; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 Convertible Series B preferred shares were issued and outstanding at that date.

 

Holding Company Reorganization

 

On September 4, 2018, USSE Delaware acquired 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which represented 100% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock, for no consideration, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware. Also, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization (as defined below), USSE Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Merger Sub”), was the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

On September 19, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), USSE Merger Sub, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware and the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into USSE Delaware, the Company’s then parent (the “Holding Company Reorganization”). USSE Delaware was the surviving corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. USSE Delaware also changed its name to USSE Corp. following the Holding Company Reorganization.

 

Upon completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, by virtue of the merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of USSE Delaware’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Holding Company Reorganization was automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, each share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s preferred stock, having the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, as the corresponding share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and held by USSE Delaware immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled.

 

This resulted in the Company being authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Post-Holding Company Reorganization

 

On October 19, 2018, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 400,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock to GMRZ Holdings LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GRMZ”) for services rendered to the Company.

 

Commensurate with the filing of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 22, 2018, every issued and outstanding share of Convertible Series A preferred stock was converted into 1.25 shares of common stock with shareholders’ economic rights preserved. Additionally, at the same time, every share of Convertible Series B preferred stock, issued and outstanding was converted into ten shares of common stock with stockholders’ economic rights adversely affected in the conversion. Immediately following the conversion of the aforementioned shares, and upon filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized and unissued shares of Convertible Series A and Convertible Series B preferred stock were cancelled. As of October 22, 2018, Convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock were removed from the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock.

 

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into a non-binding Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, GMRZ, and Kaival Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Kaival Brands Innovations Group, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (formerly known as Kaival Brands Innovations Group, LLC) (“KH”), pursuant to which, on February 20, 2019, GMRZ sold 504,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, representing approximately 88.06 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to KH, and KH paid GMRZ consideration in the amount set forth in the Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with KH becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder. The sole members of KH are Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the members of KH.

 

Effective July 12, 2019, we changed our corporate name from Quick Start Holdings, Inc. to Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into us. We were the surviving entity.

 

On the effective date of the merger, our name was changed to “Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc.” and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), was further amended to reflect our new legal name. There were no other changes to our Charter.

 

Currently, we have 572,364,574 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. KH, which is owned and controlled by Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser, is our controlling stockholder, owning 504,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock.

 

As of October 31, 2019, the Company had not yet commenced any business operations.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at October 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

 

The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of October 31, 2019 and 2018 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

- Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. 

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of October 31, 2019. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accrued expenses.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.”  Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable:  (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued.  The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.  

 

The Company had no stock-based compensation plans as of October 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company’s stock-based compensation for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.

 

The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

Note 4 – Income Taxes   

 

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has a net carryforward operating loss of $73,225, which starts to expire in 2038. The Company adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.

 

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) reduced the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For net operating losses (“NOLs”) arising after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Act limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income. In addition, NOLs arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation. The 2017 Act would generally eliminate the carryback of all NOLs arising in a tax year ending after 2017 and, instead, would permit all such NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2019 and 2018 after applying enacted corporate income tax rates, is net operating loss carryforward of $15,377 and $919, and a valuation allowance of $15,377 and $919, respectively, which is a total deferred tax asset of $0. The Company’s tax returns for 2018 and 2019 remain open to examination.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate is as follows:

 

Federal income tax rate     21.0 %  
Increase in valuation allowance     (21.0) %  
Effective income tax rate     0.0 %  

 

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies.  Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

Item 9A Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15e and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of October 31, 2019, the end of the year covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of Mr. Patel, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Mr. Patel concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the year covered by this Report due to material weaknesses identified below.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). A system of internal control over financial reporting is 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

 

Based on our evaluation under the framework in COSO, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of October 31, 2019 based on such criteria. Deficiencies existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affect our internal controls and that may be considered material weaknesses. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of the determination that there was a lack of resources to provide segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, the lack of a formal audit committee, and the lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review over financial disclosure and reporting processes, management has determined that material weaknesses existed as of October 31, 2019.

 

The weaknesses and the related risks are no uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of our staff. To address these material weaknesses, and subject to the receipt of additional financing or cash flows, we intend to undertake remediation measures to address the material weaknesses described in this Report, including implementing procedures pursuant to which we can ensure segregation of duties and hire additional resources to ensure appropriate review and oversight.

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Our internal control over financial reporting is 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.

 

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have occurred during the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Each of our directors holds office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders or until his successor has been elected and qualified, or until his death, resignation, or removal. Our executive officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until their death, resignation, or removal from office.

 

Our current executive officers and directors and additional information concerning them are as follows:

         
Name   Age   Position(s)
         
Nirajkumar Patel   35   Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer, and a Director
         
Eric Mosser   41   Chief Operating Officer, Secretary, and a Director
         

Business Experience

 

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience of our executive officers and directors during at least the past five years, indicating their principal occupation during the period, the name and principal business of the organization by which they were employed, and certain of their other directorships:

 

Nirajkumar Patel, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer, and a Director

  

Mr. Nirajkumar Patel, age 35, attended AISSMS College of Pharmacy in Pune, India and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy in 2004. After moving to the United States in 2005, Mr. Patel became a United States citizen in 2008 and obtained a Master’s Degree in Chemistry from the Florida Institute of Technology in 2009. Mr. Patel is an IASSC Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt professional, which certification he obtained in 2010, and is a prominent local businessman in Brevard County, Florida. In 2017 and 2018, Mr. Patel served as Vice President for the Board of the Indian Association of the Space Coast, located in Brevard County, Florida. Mr. Patel founded, and has served as a Board member of, the Florida Independent Liquor Stores Owners Association since 2017. In 2013, Mr. Patel launched Just Chill Products LLC, a highly successful developer/manufacturer of high-end CBD products, and has served as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer since 2017. In 2017, Mr. Patel created Relax Lab Inc., a producer/manufacturer of a CBD relaxation beverage, and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. In 2017, Mr. Patel also created RLX Lab LLC, a producer/manufacturer of a non-CBD relaxation beverage, and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. In 2017, Mr. Patel also founded KC Innovations Lab Inc., a CBD white-label manufacturing service and developer/producer of best-selling white-label CBD products including cosmetics, edibles, beverages, topicals, and vape oils, and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. We believe that Mr. Patel is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his prior and current management experience, as well as his business experience with our intended market.

 

Eric Mosser, Chief Operating Officer, Secretary, and a Director

 

Mr. Eric Mosser, age 41, attended Arizona State University and studied Business Management and then graduated from Rio Salado College with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science in Computer Technology in 2004. With extensive previous corporate work history in Information Technology, Mr. Mosser recently worked from 2012 to 2014 as Director of Information Technology at Timbercon Inc., a fiber-optic design company and ITAR manufacturing facility in Oregon. In 2014, Mr. Mosser created Lasermycig LLC, a specialized custom laser-engraving service for electronic cigarettes and vaporizers and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer. Upon meeting Mr. Nirajkumar Patel in 2015, Mr. Mosser immediately founded Chillcorp Ltd., a full-service corporation dedicated solely to the complete internal and external operations of Just Chill Products LLC, Relax Lab Inc., RLX Lab LLC, and KC Innovations Lab Inc., and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer. We believe that Mr. Mosser is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his current management and business experience.

Committees of the Board

 

We currently do not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees, or committees performing similar functions, nor do we have a written nominating, compensation, or audit committee charter. Our board of directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees given our current size and the limited scope of our business. Currently, our entire board of directors is performing the functions of such committees.

 

In lieu of an Audit Committee, our board of directors is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results, and effectiveness of the annual audit of our financial statements and other services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer review our internal accounting controls, practices, and policies.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K . We believe that given our current size and the limited scope of our business, retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome. We will consider establishing an Audit Committee, and identifying an individual to serve as an independent director and as the audit committee financial expert when so required.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our executive officers and directors have been involved in or a party to any of the following events or actions during the past ten years:

 

1. Any petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency laws filed by or against, or an appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar officer by a court for the business or property of such person, a partnership in which such person was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which such person was an executive officer either at or within two years prior to the time of such filing;
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, such person from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:  (i) acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director, or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity; (ii) engaging in any type of business practice; or (iii) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodities laws;
4. Being the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (3)(i) above, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
5. Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action) or the SEC to have violated a Federal or State securities law, and the judgment has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
6. Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
7. Being the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of :(i) any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
8. Being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. We only have two employees whom consist of our officers. In the event we commence operations, or the number of employees, number of officers, and/or number of directors increase in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

 

Nomination of Directors

 

As of January 27, 2020, we had not effected any material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. We do not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. Our board of directors 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. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to the Company with the address appearing on the first page of this Report.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock.  Such officers, directors, and persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC.

 

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms that were received by the Company, the Company is not aware of any failures to file reports or report transactions in a timely manner during the year ended October 31, 2019 and the period from September 4, 2018 (inception) to October 31, 2018.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.

 

Arrangements

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between an executive officer or director and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an executive officer or director.
