Note 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Life On Earth, Inc. is a brand accelerator and incubator focused on building and scaling concepts in the natural consumer products category. The Company’s mission is to bring our strategic focus and long-term forward-looking vision to consumers in the health, wellness and lifestyle spaces through superior branding, product quality, and direct to consumer and retail experience within the CPG industry.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Victoria’s Kitchen, LLC (“VK”) and The Chill Group, LLC (“JC”). During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company sold the Giant Beverage Company, Inc. (“GBC”) and their results are included herein as discontinued operations.

On June 21, 2019, the Company made the determination to shut down and discontinue the operations of Energy Source Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”) and focus on its brand portfolio. Effective November 4, 2019, ESD filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. On December 11, 2019, the Company received a final decree from the United States Bankruptcy Court ruling that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate for ESD had been fully administered. The results of operations of ESD for the years ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 are included herein as discontinued operations in the financial statements. The Company has recognized a gain on the disposal of ESD in the amount of $893,515 for the year ended May 31, 2020.

LFER was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013 and acquired VK in October 2017, and JC in August 2018. The Company currently markets and sell beverages, primarily through third party distributors.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K as of May 31, 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606 which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The core principle of the standard is to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company recognizes sales of its beverage products, based on predetermined pricing, upon delivery of the product to its customers, as that is when the customer obtains control of the goods. The Company considered several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon delivery of products. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, we have a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risk and rewards of ownership at the time of delivery. Payment is typically due within 30 days. The Company has no significant history of returns or refunds of its products.

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 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 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 are included in cost of goods sold. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from net sales. Sales are recorded net of provisions for discounts, slotting fees payable by us to retailers to stock our products and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances vary from customer to customer. The consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to distributors. The Company estimates these discounts, slotting fees 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.

All sales to distributors and customers are generally final. In limited instances the Company may accept returned product due to quality issues or distributor terminations, in which situations the Company would have variable consideration. To date, returns have not been material. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice. The Company offers prompt pay discounts of up to 2% to certain customers typically for payments made within 15 days. Prompt pay discounts are estimated in the period of sale based on experience with sales to eligible customers. Early pay discounts are recorded as a deduction to the accounts receivable balance presented on the consolidated balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and a majority of shareholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-five shares of common stock, without changing the par value, rights, terms, conditions, and limitations of such shares of common stock, (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 25, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), at which time the common stock shares of our common stock will began trading on a split adjusted basis. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of this reverse stock split.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of August 31, 2020, and May 31, 2020, warrants and convertible notes payable could be converted into approximately 5,817,000 and 2,779,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

Income Taxes

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

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of August 31, 2020 and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all share-based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value on the issuance date.

Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505, Equity. The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash, and that mature within three months from date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

At August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,884 and $3,831 respectively. At August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, cash equivalents were comprised of funds in checking accounts, savings accounts and money market funds.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable balance primarily includes balances from trade sales to distributors and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. The Company determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based primarily on historical write-off experience. Account balances that are deemed uncollectible, are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. A significant change in demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for obsolete inventory. Provisions for obsolete or excess inventory are recorded as cost of goods sold.

As of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $33,356 and $33,356, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods and raw material which are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizable value and include adjustments for estimated obsolete or excess inventory. A significant change in demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for obsolete inventory. During the year ended May 31, 2020, the Company recorded and provision for obsolete and excess inventory of $96,000, which was recorded as cost of goods sold. As of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, there was approximately $0 and $0 of inventory on hand, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life, and accordingly, is not amortized, but evaluated annually (or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable) for impairment. The most significant assumptions, which are used in this test, are estimates of future cash flows. If these assumptions differ significantly from actual results, impairment charges may be required in the future.

Advertising

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense amounted to approximately $895 and $23,527 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of goods sold.

Business combination

GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the acquisition method. The Company applies ASC 805, “Business combinations”, whereby the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Any changes to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.

Deferred Finance Cost

Deferred financing costs or debt issuance costs are costs associated with issuing debt, such as various fees and commissions paid to investment banks, law firms, auditors, regulators, and so on. Since these payments do not generate future benefits, they are treated as a contra debt account. The costs are capitalized, reflected in the balance sheet as a contra long-term liability, and amortized using the effective interest method or over the finite life of the underlying debt instrument, if below de minimus.

Derivative Liability

The Company accounts for certain instruments, which do not have fixed settlement provisions, as derivative instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, Derivative and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. This is due to the conversion features of certain convertible notes payable being tied to the market value of our common stock. As such, our derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value on the contract date and are subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. Changes in estimated fair value are recorded as non-cash adjustments within other income (expenses), in the Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value Measurements

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.

We categorize our financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized as follows:

Level 1 inputs—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs—Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 inputs—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are supported by little or no market activity and are valued based on management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-2, "Leases" (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease transactions. This ASU requires organizations that lease assets, such as real estate and manufacturing equipment, to recognize assets and liabilities on their balance sheets for the rights to use those assets for the lease term and obligations to make lease payments created by those leases that have terms of greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount and timing of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU became effective for public entities beginning the first quarter 2019. During 2019 the Company sold the Giant Beverage Company which resulted in elimination of the company’s lease obligation related to that operation. The remaining lease obligation related to Energy Source Distributors which was terminated on July 31, 2019 reducing the remaining terms of the lease to 2 months. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-2 Leases which does not have material impact on Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. Management does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance to simplify the testing for goodwill impairment. The update removes the requirement to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the current goodwill impairment test. A company will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The guidance is effective prospectively for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard is required to take effect in the Company’s first quarter (August 2020) of our fiscal year ending May 31, 2021. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify the interaction between the authoritative guidance for collaborative arrangements and revenue from contracts with customers. The new guidance clarifies that, when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit-of-account, revenue from contracts with customers guidance should be applied, adds unit-of-account guidance to collaborative arrangements guidance, and requires, that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant who is not a customer, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under contracts with customers is precluded. The Company does not have any collaborative arrangements or revenue from contracts and therefore Topic 808 does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - BASIS OF REPORTING AND GOING CONCERN 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred losses from inception of approximately $17,600,000, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $4,500,000 and a net capital deficiency of approximately $4,500,000, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of August 31, 2020, the Company did not have sufficient cash on hand to fund operations for the next 12 months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's plans to raise additional capital from the sale of stock and receive additional loans from third parties and related parties. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - CONCENTRATIONS

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Cash in banks is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per institution, per entity. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its account receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Sales and Accounts Receivable

During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, sales to 1 customer accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s net sales.

During the three months ended August 31, 2019, sales to 4 customers accounted for approximately 85% of the Company’s net sales. These four customers accounted for 41%, 19%, 15% and 10% respectively.

One customer accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of August 31, 2020.

Four customers accounted for approximately 62% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of August 31, 2019. These four customers accounted for 19%, 16%, 16% and 11% respectively.

Note 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, or ASC 820-10, for our financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 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 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 – Inputs include the following:

• Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active

• Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are used in the valuation of the assets or liabilities (i.e., interest rate and yield curve quotes at commonly quoted intervals)

• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 inputs include management’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable.

The carrying value of our contingent liability approximated the fair value as of August 31, 2020 in considering Level 1 inputs within the hierarchy.

The carrying value of our derivative liability as of August 31, 2020 approximated the fair value in considering Level 3 inputs within the hierarchy. The Company’s derivative liability is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes valuation methodology.

For the three months ended August 31, 2020 the following inputs were utilized to derive the fair value of our derivative liability:

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value as of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020:

Note 5 – ESD DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 21, 2019 the Company shut down the ESD operation to further concentrate its efforts and available resources on its core brands and any additional brands it acquires. On November 4, 2019, ESD filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. On December 11, 2019, the Company received a final decree from the United States Bankruptcy Court that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate for ESD had been fully administered. As a result, the Company discharged approximately $851,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and recorded a gain on the disposal of discontinued subsidiary in the amount of $891,000 during the year ended May 31, 2020.

Accordingly, the results of operations for ESD have been reclassed to discontinued operations for the three months ended August 31, 2019. The Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $71,610 for the three months ended August 31, 2019, related to the ESD operations.

Below are the results from discontinued operations for the three ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 for ESD:

The table below summarizes the net liabilities of the discontinued operations of ESD that were discharged during the year ended August 31, 2019:

Note 6 – JCG ACQUISITION

To support the company’s strategic initiatives, the Company acquired JCG and the JCG brands.

Effective August 2, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the “JCG Agreement”) to acquire all of the outstanding stock of JCG in exchange for 327,293 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1.95 per share for a total value of approximately $638,000. If these shares are trading below $1.50 after August 2, 2019, the Company would be required to issue additional shares so that the value of the 327,293 shares plus these additional shares, with a floor price of $1.00, will be equal to $900,000. On August 2, 2019, the 12-month anniversary of the acquisition of JCG the Company determined that the Company’s stock price closed below the contractual floor for remeasurement of the purchase consideration and additional consideration was due to the sellers. During the year ended May 31,2019, the Company accrued approximately $383,000 to reflect the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the acquisition. During the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent liability of $0 and $0, respectively. As of August 31, 2020, the contingent shares have not been issued.

The JCG Agreement also provides for the issuance of a warrant for 200,000 shares of common stock with a two-year term and an exercise price of $4.25 with a value of approximately $9,400. The JCG Agreement also provides for an additional 218,182 shares of restricted common stock to be issued when the gross revenues of the JCG brands reach $900,000 in a twelve-month period. The JCG Agreement further provides for additional shares of restricted common stock, with a market value of $500,000 on the date of issuance, to be issued when the gross revenues of the JCG brands reach $3,000,000 in a twelve-month period, and again when the gross revenues of the JCG brands reach $5,000,000 in a twelve-month period. The JCG Agreement also provides for the issuance of the restricted common stock and warrants to the shareholders of JCG on a pro rata basis according to their respective percentage of ownership as of August 2, 2018. The restricted common stock may not be transferred, sold, gifted, assigned, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, directly or indirectly, for a period of twelve months (the “Lock-Up Period”). After the Lock-Up Period, the maximum shares that may be sold by each restricted common stockholder during any given one-day period shall be 5% of their total holdings or no more than 20% of the average trading volume of the preceding 30 days, whichever is less. The Company has determined the value of the contingent shares and warrants, in excess of the initial 327,293 shares, to be approximately $722,000, for a total purchase price value of approximately $1,360,000.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The intangibles relate to trademarks and copyrights acquired in the JC acquisition and are being amortized over a 5-year period. During the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company recorded amortization expense of $0 and $0, respectively, related to the JC intangibles. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $725,000 against the intangibles recorded related to the acquisition of JCG during the year ended May 31, 2019 and recorded an impairment charge of $299,000 during the year ended May 31, 2020. The balance of the intangibles related to the JC acquisition as of August 31, 2020 was $0.

Note 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets as of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020 were as follows:

_________

As of August 31, 2020, future principal payments of the note payable were approximately as follows:

Note 11 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The following table summarizes the Company’s convertible notes payable as of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020:

As of August 31, 2020, 11 convertible notes with principal amounts aggregating $1,067,500 have passed their maturity date, of which, one convertible note with a principal of $100,000 is in default as the holder has submitted a request for payment and declared in default by the note holder.

On September 12, 2019 the Company was served with a summons from the Supreme Court of the State of New York to answer a complaint filed by the Gankaku Living Trust (“Gankaku”) (Gankaku Living Trust v. Life on Earth Inc., Supreme Court of New York, No.655189/2019) claiming a breach of contract and default upon the Note. The Note was issued to the Gankaku Living Trust (“Gankaku”) by the Company on May 24, 2018 with an original maturity date of May 24, 2019. This maturity date of this note was extended on May 24, 2019 until June 24, 2019. The Company paid the outstanding interest on the note of $7,000 as part of this extension. On June 25, 2019, Gankaku’s legal counsel sent a demand letter to the Company requesting payment in full. Under the terms of the convertible note, the Company had 10 business days to pay the outstanding balance or the note would be in default. Under the terms of the note, upon default, the Holder shall be issued the number of common stock equal to the outstanding balance multiplied by 125%, divided by the average price, as defined. On July 17, 2019 the Gankaku’s counsel sent the Company’s counsel an official notice of default for the note and demanded the immediate issuance of Common Stock per the convertible note agreement and also demanded that the Company make all of its assets available to the Gankaku Living Trust as collateral. The Company retained counsel to represent it in this case.  On July 1, 2020, the Supreme Court entered a judgment against the Company in the amount of $100,000.00 plus interest at 7% and ordered that $150,000 worth of stock be issued to the plaintiff. At this point in time, we terminated our attorneys and hired a new firm that filed an order to show cause on our behalf, alleging that the underlying transaction was criminally usurious and void under New York law.  The Supreme Court issued a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) on July 24, 2020 halting any attempt by the plaintiff to enforce the judgment.  A hearing on the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction has not yet been set but when it is, at which time the court will decide whether or not to grant the Company’s request for a Preliminary Injunction to stop enforcement of the judgment and to decide whether or not the loan violated New York’s criminal usury statute (Penal Law §190.40).  If the court determines that the note violated the criminal usury statute of New York, the Company will rely upon New York’s General Obligations Law §5-511 that automatically voids the entire transaction and all collateral security agreements.  This means that if the Court agrees with the Company and it deems that this statute is otherwise validto void the transaction, the judgment will be voided and no additional stock will be required to be issued to the plaintiff. Shortly after the Court issued the above-described Order, legal counsel for the parties commenced settlement discussions. While engaging in settlement discussions, the parties agreed to adjourn the hearing on the Company’s Motion to Vacate until September 2, 2020. As of the date hereof, the parties are still engaged in settlement discussions. However, in the event a settlement is not reached, the Company intends to defend itself against all claims asserted by Gankaku.

The 2017 NPA Note

On September 25, 2017, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (“NPA”), pursuant to which the Company issued a 7% secured promissory note (“SPN”) in the principal amount of $650,000 (the “650K Note”), which had an original maturity date of March 25, 2019. As additional consideration for the issuance of the SPN, the Company issued 300,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share, which was recorded as a deferred finance cost. The deferred finance cost is being amortized over the life of the SPN.

On November 3, 2017, the NPA was amended and an additional 7% SPN was issued to the purchaser in the principal amount of $175,000 (the “$175K Note”), which had an original maturity date of May 3, 2019.

The deferred finance cost is being amortized over the life of the SPN.

Both SPN’s are secured by a continuing security interest in substantially all assets of the Company. Under the terms of the NPA, the Company was required to pay a consulting fee of $65,000 to the purchaser. In November 2017, the purchaser agreed to and accepted from the Company, 86,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares were issued at $2.00 per share, in lieu of payment of the consulting fee, which was recorded by the Company as a deferred finance cost.

As of May 31, 2020, and May 31, 2019, the outstanding balance was $0, respectively.

As further consideration for the Note Purchase, the Company entered into an agreement to amend certain SPN’s (the “Note Amendment”), pursuant to which the $175K Note and the $650K Note (together, the “Old Notes”) were amended to provide the Purchaser with the ability to convert the principal amount of such Old Notes, together with accrued interest thereon, into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”). Pursuant to the Note Amendment, the conversion price shall be equal to $1.50, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Note Amendment, and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Old Notes shall be equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest due under the terms of the Old Notes to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price. The Note Amendment was treated as an extinguishment of the old notes and an issuance of new notes (the “New Notes”).

As a result of this transaction, the Company expensed the unamortized deferred financing costs of $557,462 as of the date of the extinguishment and recorded deferred financing costs on the New Notes, and the $125,000 note purchase, of $538,335, which has been fully amortized as of May 31, 2020.

On August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, respectively, there were 1,200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding and on August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, respectively, there were 100,000 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding

On November 11, 2019, the Board of Directors and a majority of the voting power approved a resolution to effectuate a 5:1 Reverse Stock Split. Under this Reverse Stock Split each 5 shares of our Common Stock were automatically converted into 1 share of Common Stock. To avoid the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock, the Company issued an additional share to all holders of fractional shares. In addition, as discussed below, the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the voting power approved a resolution to effectuate an increase in authorized Shares of Common Stock from One Hundred million (100,000,000) to Two Hundred million (200,000,000) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.

Note 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As part of the acquisition of ESD, the Company had assumed a lease for approximately 13,000 square feet of warehouse space located in Gilroy, California at a base rent of $5,248 per month. During June 2019, the Company shut down ESD’s operations. ESD has successfully filed for Bankruptcy on November 4, 2019 and the previous landlord was named as creditor in the Bankruptcy proceedings. 

Rent expense for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, totaled $283 and $1,466, respectively.

On November 20, 2019, a Complaint was filed with the Superior Court-Judicial District of New Haven by a former employee, naming the Company as Defendant. The Complaint claims that the Company owes the former employee back wages of $60,000 and unpaid expenses of $20,000, which were due to be paid to the former employee upon his termination from the Company on November 1, 2019, in accordance with an employment agreement dated November 18, 2018. The Company has responded that the employee was terminated for cause and, as such, no longer obligated under the terms of the employment agreement. As of October 12, 2020, the parties have not engaged in extensive discovery or any substantial motion practice and no trial date has been set. In addition to the back wages of $60,000, severance of $45,000 and unpaid expenses of $20,000, the Company has recorded legal expenses of $15,000 during the year ended May 31, 2020 in connection with this litigation.

On July 15, 2020, RedStart Holdings, (“Redstart”),the holder of two convertible notes of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company in Supreme Court, Nassau County, New York. The Complaint sets forth six causes of action and seeks relief consisting of (1) money damages in the amounts (i) of the greater of $111,800.00 and the “parity value”, as defined in the Notes and $2,000.00 per day until the issuance of the Company common stock (calculated in accord with the terms set forth in the Notes and corresponding Agreements) and (ii) $55,900.00 arising from the original unpaid balance of the Notes, (2) liquidated damages arising from the lost profits that would have been realized if the Company common stock was provided to Redstart in an amount to be calculated, (3) reasonable legal fees and costs in an amount yet to be determined, (4) an order of specific performance, and (5) injunctive relief. All of the claims stem from the Company’s refusal to honor Redstart’s exercise notice in connection with a common stock conversion right that the Company had granted it under certain Convertible Promissory Notes and accompanying Securities Purchase Agreements. On July 21, 2020, Redstart obtained an order, temporarily restraining the Company’s new transfer agent from delivering any new shares of the Company to anyone other than Redstart. On August 7, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Vacate the TRO, granted by the Court on July 23, 2020. Therein, the Company asserted that the Notes are, in fact, loan agreement that each charged interest rates in excess of 25% and, therefore, the Notes should be deemed void under New York’s criminal usury laws. The Court scheduled a hearing on the Company’s Motion for August 17, 2020. Following arguments, the Court rendered its decision from the bench and ordered the Company to hold in reserve the shares of Life on Earth common stock that Redstart, allegedly, is entitled to, and that the Company will be required to file its opposition to Redstart’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction within Three (3) weeks. Accordingly, the Company will continue to vigorously defend itself in this action. Further, as of October 12, 2020, the Court has not yet rendered its decision. 

Note 15 - INCOME TAXES

The deferred tax attributes consist of the following:

For the three months ended August 31, 2020, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $101,000.

On December 22, 2017, the enactment date, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”) was signed into law. The Act enduringly reduces the top corporate tax rate from 35 percent to a flat 21 percent beginning January 1, 2018 and eliminates the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. The Company has adjusted its deferred tax calculations to reflect this reduction in its tax rate.

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

As of August 31, 2020, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15,700,000 to reduce future federal and state taxable income.

The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress, nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception. All of the Company’s tax years are subject to federal and state tax examinations

Note 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In October 2013, the Company signed a distribution agreement with Gran Nevada Beverage, Inc. (“Gran Nevada”), an entity related through common management and ownership. During the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company sold $0 and $0 respectively. These products were produced by a third party copacker and were not purchased from Gran Nevada. The availability of third party copackers that can produce an Horchata are limited and it directly impacts sales. As there is currently no co-packing available for this product the Company does not know if they will be able to produce this product again in the future.

Note 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 12, 2020, the Company received a notice of complaint against it by a previous creditor for one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Energy Source Distributors, Inc (ESD) for a total of $43,400. This creditor was the previous landlord for the Company's ESD subsidiary which ultimately filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on November 4, 2019 and in which the previous landlord was named as one of the unsecured creditors. The Company has retained legal counsel to represent it in this matter and feels it will successfully prevail in this complaint due to the frivolous nature of the suit under California Bankruptcy laws. No other creditor named in that bankruptcy filing has filed a complaint against the Company.  

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements rather than historical facts that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the use of forward- looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. Such forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations of future results of operations or financial condition. However, there may be events in the future that we are unable to accurately predict or control and there may be risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Life On Earth, Inc. (the “Company,” “our” or “we”), should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that management make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Life On Earth, Inc. was incorporated in April 2013 as Hispanica International Delights of America, Inc. as a Delaware corporation. In February 2018, the Company changed its name to Life On Earth, Inc. and is engaged in the distribution of its own proprietary functional beverages throughout the United States.

We are an innovative brand accelerator and incubator and we are focused on building and scaling concepts in the natural consumer products category. Our mission is to bring our strategic focus and long-term forward-looking vision to consumers in the health, wellness and active lifestyle spaces through superior branding, product quality, targeted acquisitions and retail experience in the functional beverage category.

The Company has been approached by several outside parties for the purpose of seeking a strategic alliance, merger, or acquisition. The Company has not signed any definitive agreements yet with said outside party or parties but intends to file the proper disclosures upon entering into a material event, if ever, with any other entity, party, or company or companies. 

In October 2013, we signed a distribution agreement with Gran Nevada Beverage, Inc. (“Gran Nevada”), an entity related through common management and ownership. The agreement provides us with the right to sell and distribute Gran Nevada’s beverages in the United States with purchase prices at the then applicable wholesale prices charged to Gran Nevada’s distributors. The agreement was for an initial term of five years with automatic renewals of successive five-year terms unless terminated. We initiated sales and distribution operations in March 2014. This agreement was renewed for an additional 5 years as per the agreement. During the years ended 2018 and 2019, the Company sold $506,581 and $73,592 respectively. These products were produced by a third party copacker and were not purchased from Gran Nevada. The decrease in sales from 2018 to 2019 was related to limited production capacity for the Gran Nevada Horchata that the company was producing. The availability of 3^rd party copackers that can produce an Horchata are limited and it directly impacted the sales. As there is currently no co-packing available for this product the Company does not know if they will be able to produce this product again in the future.

In July 2016, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Energy Sources Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”) from its three founding shareholders. ESD provides wholesale distribution of specialty beverage products from its headquarters in Gilroy, California. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $450,000 in cash. We retained one of the selling founders as General Manager for a term of twelve (12) months pursuant to an employment agreement to manage operations at the ESD facility in Gilroy, California. ESD is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of ESD in July 2016 allowed the Company to expand distribution on the West Coast. In June 2019, the Company further decided to discontinue the wholesale beverage distribution operations in Northern California and, on November 4, 2019, ESD filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California.

In October 2017, the Company acquired Victoria’s Kitchen, LLC (“VK”). VK is a specialty beverage company that makes exceptional European-inspired drinks. VK’s beverages are natural and all the beverages are Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan and contain no artificial ingredients or preservatives. 

On April 30, 2018, the Company acquired The Giant Beverage Company Inc. (“Giant” or “GBC”). Giant is a Direct Store Delivery (DSD) business that covers the five boroughs of New York City under an eight-route distribution system. GBC serviced over 600 accounts in the five boroughs. Giant services mainly independent retailers but was expanding to service authorized chain accounts.

On May 7, 2019, Life On Earth, Inc., GBC, and Frank Iemmiti and Anthony Iemmiti (“Frank and Anthony Iemmiti”) entered into a Dispute Resolution and Resale agreement that will resolve all existing disputes between the two parties and will also result in the sale of the ownership of Giant back to Frank and Anthony Iemmiti. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company deposited $50,000 into an Attorney’s Trust Account. Frank and Anthony Iemmiti have a continuing obligation to provide the Company with all financial information of Giant (the “Giant Financial Information”) that the Company needs to complete its SEC reporting requirements. On July 4, 2019 the Company and Frank and Anthony Iemmiti executed a Dispute Resolution and Resale agreement that at the closing the Company authorized the release of the $50,000 to Frank and Anthony Iemmiti. Also, at closing, the Company also paid Frank and Anthony Iemmiti the agreed upon consideration of $62,718 of the Company shares at $0.80 per share. Lastly at the closing, with an effective date of March 2, 2019 the Company sold GBC to Frank and Anthony Iemmiti for 291,000 shares of the Company stock that they owned. The sale of the Giant Beverage Company to Frank and Anthony Iemmiti became effective March 1, 2019.

On June 21, 2019, LFER made the determination to shut down and discontinue the operations of ESD and further focus on the brand portfolio. Effective November 4, 2019, ESD filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. On December 11, 2019, the Company received a final decree from the United States Bankruptcy Court ruling that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate for ESD had been fully administered. The results of ESD are included herein as discontinued operations in the financial statements.

Our objective is to grow as rapidly as possible (both organically and via strategic alliances and acquisitions) using the public capital markets for access to capital. The companies and assets sought by us will be those that already have market penetration in the following segments: (1) Sales (2) Marketing (3) Established Distribution network and (4) Manufacturing infrastructures in place.

Our management team has over 50 years of combined experience in the food and beverage industry. In July 2016, we acquired Energy Source Distributors to establish a presence on the West Coast in an all cash purchase. Since then, we have also acquired the Victoria’s Kitchen brand, the Just Chill brand and The Giant Beverage Company, Inc. During fiscal 2019, LFER needed to prioritize its available resources and made the decision to focus on growing the brands in its portfolio. As a result of this, LFER sold the Giant Beverage Company back to the original owners of the company effective March 1, 2019. The results of operations for Giant Beverage Companies from the acquisition through February 28, 2019 have been reclassified as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statements of LFER. Subsequent to year end LFER further decided to discontinue the operations of ESD and is moving away from the DSD business. This will allow LFER to focus all its resources on its current and future portfolio of brands. 

Our principal executive offices are located at 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, New York NY 10022 and our telephone number (646) 844-9897.

Coronavirus Risks  

The outbreak of the coronavirus may negatively impact sourcing and manufacturing of the products that we sell as well as consumer spending, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”.

The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide, and may continue to do so, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our customers.

Covid-19 could adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending for products that we sell.  The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Sales and Distribution

The Company currently markets and sells mainstream functional beverage products through 3^rd party Direct Store Delivery (DSD) platforms as well as through other distributors including KeHe Distributors, LLC (“KeHe”) and United Natural Foods, Incorporated “UNFI”. KeHe has a distribution network in more than 30,000 stores across North America. UNFI is a distributor of natural and organic foods, specialty foods, and related products in the United States and Canada.

The Company also sells it Victoria’s Kitchen brands and Just Chill brands direct to consumers via Amazon online. The Company is also actively seeking additional brands for its portfolio that are primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, natural nonalcoholic functional beverages that are targeted towards the Company’s active lifestyle consumers. The Company recently announced that it would increase or expand its product lines, under its current brands or under new brands, to include CBD. The Company seeks to reach new consumers in a more direct to consumer business model instead of using the traditional channels such other wholesalers and retailers use.

Production and Distribution

We do not directly manufacture our products because we outsource the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). After the product is manufactured, the finished products are stored in third-party warehouses. Other than minimum case volume requirements per production run, we do not have annual minimum production commitments with our co-packers. As we are using third party co-packers and do not have minimum production contracts in place, we could experience disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers. We continually review our contract packing needs in light of regulatory compliance and logistical requirements and may add or change co-packers based on those needs. These co-packers are located in different geographic locations throughout the United States and we currently use multiple co-packers. The material terms of these relationships are typically negotiated annually and include pricing, quality standards, delivery times and conditions, purchase orders, and payment terms. Payment terms are typically net 30, meaning that the total invoiced amount is expected to be paid in full within 30 days from the date the products or services are provided. We believe that we have sufficient options for each of our raw and packaging material needs, as well as our third-party distribution needs and also have long-term relationships with each of our suppliers and distributors, resulting in consistency in quality and supply. We also believe that we have sufficient breadth of retail relationships with distribution in both large and small retailers and independents and across multiple channels (mass, club, pharmacies, convenience, and small and large format retailers) throughout the United States.

The contractual arrangements with all third parties, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are typical of the beverage industry with standard terms. We have no long-term obligations with any of the third parties nor do any of them have long-term obligations with us. The third-party supplier, manufacturing and distribution agreements were entered into in the normal course of business within the guidelines of industry practices and are not deemed material and definite.

Competition 

We are a Consumer-Packaged Goods (“CPG”) company. What sets us apart in the industry, is our consolidated corporate structure that handles all aspects of sales, marketing and proprietary distribution from a centralized location. Our platform is built for accelerating emerging growth brands in the United States by leveraging sales, supply chain, and distribution relationships. We have identified ways to build out distribution channels that are more flexible and responsive to today’s needs.

We believe that by sharing resources and capabilities in novel ways with new products in new situations, we can take advantage of profit-making opportunities that individual companies could not exploit alone.

The CPG industry and the direct selling industries are multi-billion-dollar industries which are highly competitive. We face intense competition from very large, international corporations, as well as from local and national companies. In addition, we face competition from well-known companies that have large market share. The intensity of competition in the future is expected to increase, and no assurance can be provided that we can sustain our market position or expand our business. Many of our current CPG competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. However, if we develop a diverse product line and obtain adequate financing, we can compete effectively in the industry. We face intense competition from very large, international corporations and from local and national companies. In addition, we face competition from well-known companies that have large market share. The intensity of competition in the future is expected to increase. Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and have more name recognition than we have.

31

Government Regulation

Packaged consumable and digestible products are governed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As such, it is necessary for the Company to ensure its products establish, maintain and make available for inspection, records and labels with nutrition information that meet food labeling requirements. The Company’s products are manufactured by contracted production facilities that are subject to many regulations, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.

Research and Development Activities

Our research and development efforts were focused on two primary paths. The first is to continually review our existing formulas and production processes and structure to evaluate opportunities for cost of goods sold improvements, without degrading the quality or fundamentally changing the consumer appeal taste profile of our existing products. The second major research and development efforts in the past were in the development of fundamentally new and differentiated products, based on consumer insights and trends and competitive intensity in those segments.

Employees

The Company currently has three full-time employees, as follows: a CEO, COO, and President.

Certain positions are being filled with paid independent contractors or insider owners who do not receive cash compensation but may receive stock compensation. In certain regions of the United States, we utilize the services of direct sales and distribution companies, which sell our products through their distribution channels. This can mitigate the need for a large sales and merchandising force. The Company also outsources its logistics to third parties, which can reduce the need for employees in these roles.

Intellectual Property Protection

The Company has secured a registered trademark for its name and logo. The Company also has trademarks registered for the Victoria’s Kitchen and Just Chill brands.

GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION

Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred net losses from inception of approximately $17,600,000, has limited revenues, and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, whether it successfully acquires revenue generating companies or assumes new businesses that generate material revenues.

At August 31, 2020, we had cash on hand of approximately $4,800 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $17,600,000. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances. There are certain critical accounting estimates that we believe require significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We have identified below our accounting policies that we use in arriving at key estimates that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is not a complete list of all of our accounting policies, and there may be other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report.

32

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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 (as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report) 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.

Revenue consists of the gross sales price, less allowances for which provisions are made at the time of sale, and less certain other discounts, allowances, and rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from gross revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling charges are included in cost of goods sold.

Trade Spend and Promotion Expenses

Throughout the year, we run trade spend and promotional programs with distributors and retailers to help promote on-shelf discounts to our consumers. Additionally, in more limited instances, we enter into customer marketing agreements or various other slotting arrangements. The provisions for discounts, slotting fees and promotion allowances is recorded as an offset to sales and shown net on the consolidated statement of operations. Estimates are made to accrue for amounts that have not yet been invoiced in the month that the program occurs, or in the case of slotting, when the commitment is made.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is greater than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment is not required. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that asset. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded at the estimated acquisition date fair value. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of the contractual life or their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.

As part of the Company’s annual review of goodwill and intangible assets we performed an analysis of the goodwill and intangible assets recorded as they relate to the acquisitions of JC and VK. The intangibles relate to trademarks and copyrights acquired in the JC acquisition and are being amortized over a 5-year period. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $725,000 against the intangibles recorded related to the acquisition of JCG during the year ended May 31, 2019 and recorded an impairment charge of $299,000 during the year ended May 31, 2020. The balance of the intangibles related to the JC acquisition as of August 31, 2020 was $0.

In addition, based on this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $195,000 related to the goodwill recorded in connection with the VK acquisition during the year ended May 31, 2020 The balance of goodwill as of August 31, 2020 is $0.

Inventory

Our inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods inventories, which are manufactured and procured based on our sales forecasts. We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include adjustments for estimated obsolete or excess inventory, on a first in-first out basis. We regularly review inventory detail to determine whether a write-down is necessary. We consider various factors in making this determination, including recent sales history, market conditions and remaining shelf life of materials and finished goods. The amount and timing of write-downs for any period could change if we make different judgments or use different estimates. We also determine whether a provision for obsolete or excess inventory is required on products that are over 12 months from production date or any changes.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On September 12, 2019, the Company was served with a summons from the Supreme Court of the State of New York to answer a complaint filed by the Gankaku Living Trust ("Gankaku") regarding the matured outstanding convertible note (the "Note") issued to Gankaku from the Company on May 24, 2018 with an original maturity date of May 24, 2019. This maturity date of the Note was extended on May 24, 2019 until June 24, 2019. The Company paid the outstanding interest on the note of $7,000 as part of this extension. On June 25, 2019, a demand letter was sent to the Company requesting payment in full under the terms of the Note. The Company had 10 business days to pay the outstanding balance or the note would be in default. On July 17, 2019, Gankaku's counsel sent the Company’s counsel an official notice of default for the Note and demanded the immediate issuance of Common Stock per the Note and also demanded the Company make all of its assets available to Gankaku as collateral. The Company has retained counsel to represent the Company during these proceedings. The Company has responded to Gankaku confirming that Gankaku can exercise its rights to have shares issued to settle the outstanding debt but that once the shares are issued the obligations of the Company have been met and the Company does not have to make its assets available for collection as the debt would have been settled with the issuance of the shares. Resolution of this matter is pending acceptance of the shares by Gankaku and related settlement or in litigation. As of April 11, 2020, the parties have not engaged in extensive discovery, but the Plaintiff filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on November 22, 2019 and the Company filed its opposition brief on December 4, 2019. The Court has not yet issued a ruling on the motion and no trial date has been set.

On November 20, 2019, a Complaint was filed with the Superior Court-Judicial District of New Haven by a former employee, naming the Company as Defendant. The Complaint claims that the Company owes the former employee back wages of $60,000 and unpaid expenses of $20,000, which were due to be paid to the former employee upon his termination from the Company on November 1, 2019, in accordance with an employment agreement dated November 18, 2018. The Company has responded that the employee was terminated for cause and, as such, no longer obligated under the terms of the employment agreement. As of April 11, 2020, the parties have not engaged in extensive discovery or and substantial motion practice and no trial date has been set. In addition to the back wages of $60,000, severance of $45,000, unpaid expenses of $20,000, and, the Company has recorded legal expenses of $15,000 during the nine months ended February 29, 2020, as a result of receiving the Complaint.

On July 15, 2020, RedStart Holdings, (“Redstart”),the holder of two convertible notes of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company in Supreme Court, Nassau County, New York. The Complaint sets forth six causes of action and seeks relief consisting of (1) money damages in the amounts (i) of the greater of $111,800.00 and the “parity value”, as defined in the Notes and $2,000.00 per day until the issuance of the Company common stock (calculated in accord with the terms set forth in the Notes and corresponding Agreements) and (ii) $55,900.00 arising from the original unpaid balance of the Notes, (2) liquidated damages arising from the lost profits that would have been realized if the Company common stock was provided to Redstart in an amount to be calculated, (3) reasonable legal fees and costs in an amount yet to be determined, (4) an order of specific performance, and (5) injunctive relief. All of the claims stem from the Company’s refusal to honor Redstart’s exercise notice in connection with a common stock conversion right that the Company had granted it under certain Convertible Promissory Notes and accompanying Securities Purchase Agreements. On July 21, 2020, Redstart obtained an order, temporarily restraining the Company’s new transfer agent from delivering any new shares of the Company to anyone other than Redstart. On August 7, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Vacate the TRO, granted by the Court on July 23, 2020. Therein, the Company asserted that the Notes are, in fact, loan agreement that each charged interest rates in excess of 25% and, therefore, the Notes should be deemed void under New York’s criminal usury laws. The Court scheduled a hearing on the Company’s Motion for August 17, 2020. Following arguments, the Court rendered its decision from the bench and ordered the Company to hold in reserve the shares of Life on Earth common stock that Redstart, allegedly, is entitled to, and that the Company will be required to file its opposition to Redstart’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction within Three (3) weeks. Accordingly, the Company will continue to vigorously defend itself in this action. Further, as of October 12, 2020, the Court has not yet rendered its decision.
