NATURE OF BUSINESS

Lux Amber, Corp. (the “Company”) a Nevada corporation, is an international specialty chemical company. Its principal executive offices are located at 145 Rose Lane, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas 75036.

The Company has three (3) wholly owned subsidiaries: Worldwide Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (“WSCI”), Industrial Chem Solutions, Inc. (“ICS”), and Safeway Pest Elimination, LLC, (“SPE”); a fourth entity, PCNM, LLC (“PCNM”), is 49% owned. SPE was formed July 16, 2018. Each of ICS and SPE serves as both a producer and distributor of environmentally safe, specialty chemicals. PCNM was a Service-Disabled Veteran owned small business that sells to government agents, which was legally dissolved in the three months ended July 31, 2020. The Company and its subsidiaries are located at 145 Rose Lane, Suite 102, Frisco, TX 75036.

The products sold by the Company and its subsidiaries utilize all-natural and renewable resources, contain no dangerous chemicals or additives, and offer “green” solutions to its customers. ICS’ product line includes asphalt release agents, industrial cleaners, environmental remediation gels, odor control agents, and consumer friendly cleaners for a wide range of uses, including construction, environmental remediation, hazardous materials clean-up, nuclear decommissioning, industrial cleaning, and odor control. SPE products are designed for the elimination and control of pests.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting polices consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) is as follows.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Industrial Chem Solutions, Inc. (ICS), Safeway Pest Elimination, LLC (SPE), both of which are the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and PCNM, LLC (PCNM), a 49% investment. The Company evaluated its investment in PCNM to determine if it represented a variable interest in a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). The Company determined that it had a variable interest in a VIE, and that it was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. During the three months ended July 31, 2020, PCNM did not enter into any material transactions and was legally dissolved.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions for Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholder’s equity in conformity with GAAP.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-KT (as amended) as of and for the transitional period ended April 30, 2020 that was filed on August 18, 2020.

Operating results for the three-months ended July 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending April 30, 2021.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, including, but not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management at July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020. The carrying value of the financial instruments included in the Company’s financial statements approximated their fair values.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at, or approximate, fair value as of the reporting date because of their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value as they bear market rates of interest.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share has not been presented because there are no dilutive items. Diluted earnings loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive stock options, warrants, and convertible debt are converted or exercised by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options, warrants and/or convertible debt will have a dilutive effect, during periods of net profit, only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise or conversion price of the items.

For the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately 82,668 and 82,668 common stock warrants, respectively, and 6,469,750 and 4,883,083 common stock options, respectively, were not added to the diluted average shares because inclusion of such warrants and options would be antidilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions located throughout the United States, which at times may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are trade receivables from product sales recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, as necessary, based on past experience and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable, and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due requires the Company to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on assessing the Company’s portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer account, and the financial condition of the Company’s customers. Based on a review of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole. At July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, an allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Committee 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance on how revenue with customers should be recognized.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing service. Revenue from product sold is recognized when obligations with the customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer or delivery of the product, signifying the point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Our performance obligation is delivering the product to the customer; and therefore, the transaction price, which is stated on the invoice, is allocated 100% to the sole performance obligation of product delivery. Revenue from service, if applicable, would be recognized when the services are provided, or the customer receives the benefit, which is over time. For the period ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, all revenue was from products sold.

Our sales policies do not provide for general rights of return, and payment is due net of 60 days. We do not record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives at the time of the sale. We also do not record estimated reserves for product returns and credits at the time of sale and anticipated uncollectible accounts.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in first-out basis. The carrying value of inventory is reduced for estimated obsolescence. The Company evaluates the inventory carrying value for potential excess and obsolete inventory exposures by analyzing historical and anticipated demand.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s inventory balances as of:

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist of expenses the Company has paid for prior to the service or good being provided. These prepaid expenses will be recorded as expense at the time the service has been provided.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture, fixtures and office equipment, vehicles and trailers, equipment and leasehold improvements that are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to earnings over their estimated service lives (3 – 10 years) under the straight-line method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred; major repairs and replacements are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Property and equipment operated under material leases which transfer substantially all benefits and risks associated with the assets to the Company are capitalized. An asset and liability equal to the present or fair value, if appropriate, of minimum payments over the term of the leases are recorded. Depreciation of the asset is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the asset. Costs associated with operating leases are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the purchase price and related costs over the identifiable assets from business acquisitions. The Company conducts an annual impairment assessment, at the reporting unit level, of its recorded goodwill. The Company assesses qualitative factors in order to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. The qualitative factors evaluated by the Company include macro-economic conditions of the local business environment, overall financial performance, and other entity specific factors as deemed appropriate. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than the carrying amount, management determines if the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and records an impairment for such amounts. Management determined, by assessing the qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value. Management does not consider the value of goodwill recorded for ICS in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to be impaired as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020.

License Fee

ICS pays 10% of the net selling price to CBI Polymers, Inc., as a mutually acceptable license fee. E. Thomas Layton, Chairman and CEO of the Company, is also the Chairman and CEO and controlling shareholder of CBI Polymers, Inc. See discussion of expenses incurred at Note 7.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payments in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, (ASC 718). Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value at the measurement date of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the estimated number of stock options that are expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures to be 50% for options that vest over time.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for Federal and state income taxes using the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes based on tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

The Company accounts for all uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalties as of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020.

From time to time, the Company may be audited by taxing authorities. These audits could result in proposed assessments of additional taxes. The Company believes that its tax positions comply in all material respects with applicable tax law. However, tax law is subject to interpretation, and interpretations by taxing authorities could be different from those of the Company, which could result in the imposition of additional taxes. The Company’s federal returns since 2016 are still subject to examination by taxing authorities.

 Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred substantial operating losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $13,443,918 and $12,884,427 at July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are being issued. As such, the Company will need to arrange for additional financing to fully implement its business plan, including continued growth and establishment of a stronger brand.

The Company is actively seeking growth of its service offerings, both organically and via new client relationships. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking debt financing from third parties. There are current indications that additional financing will be available on favorable terms. In addition, the company is working to establish creditworthiness by establishing a line-of-credit and entering into a sale-lease back on certain assets. If additional financing is not available, the Company will need to reduce salaries, defer or cancel development programs, planned initiatives and overhead expenditures. The failure to adequately fund its capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including potential discontinuance of operations. Moreover, the sale of additional equity securities to raise financing will result in additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders. Additionally, incurring additional indebtedness could involve an increased debt service cash obligation, as well as the imposition of covenants that restrict the Company’s operations or the Company’s ability to perform on its current debt service requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. While the company recognizes the significant impact of additional financing, the company is an emerging growth company serving large and growing markets and it will continue to sell securities and enter into financing programs which are deemed to be prudent.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be determined by the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance in the four-month period ended April 30, 2020 did not impact the Company’s financial statements.

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amends how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income, which applies to trade accounts receivable and the calculation of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The new standard will become effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

8. INCOME TAXES

For the three-months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, the effective tax rate of 0% varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to net losses and the valuation allowance associated with the net operating loss carryforwards. The Company continually reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence at July 31, 2020, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at July 31, 2020 was appropriate.

The following table summarizes the difference between the actual tax provision and the amounts obtained by applying the statutory tax rates to the income or loss before income taxes for the period ending July 31, 2020 and 2019:

9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

As of April 30, 2020, the Company owned 49% of the entity PCNM. As the Company was directly involved with the management of the entity, the Company considered itself to be the primary beneficiary, thus requiring consolidation. On June 15, 2020, PCNM was legally dissolved.

10. CORONA VIRUS

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March, as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. In March 2020, we noticed a strong decline in orders from our customers, as businesses around the country began to cease their operations due to COVID-19. In an attempt to mitigate the ongoing impact of the pandemic on our cash flows certain actions were taken. The actions include targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses such as advertising and payroll expenses, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing travel for business development purposes. As of July 31, 2020, we have noticed an increase in monthly orders as businesses have reopened, coupled with the spring/summer construction season. We have begun to increase our associated expenses including business travel and development.

The Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) provides loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to help businesses keep their workforce employed during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. On May 8, 2020, the Company received a PPP loan in the amount of $100,344. The Company expects the loan will be fully forgiven and has not yet begun the process of filing for said forgiveness.

Continued impacts of the pandemic have had a material adverse impact on our revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows, and may require additional actions in response, including, but not limited to, employee layoffs, reduced production, or further expense reductions, all in an effort to mitigate such impacts. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak within the U.S., and the related /impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 14, 2020, the Company entered into a license and distribution agreement with Spectra Shield in which it will be fulfilling orders for and distributing specialty chemical disinfectants. The Company will pay 10% commission to the licensor. The agreement has a term of 5 years. During the month of August, the Company began fulfilling orders for two product lines of these specialty chemical disinfectants.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the transitional period ended April 30, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three-month period ended July 31, 2020, the primary sources of liquidity were cash flows from financing activities, and in particular, promissory notes from a related party.

As of July 31, 2020, the Company had total assets of $3,716,486 consisting of current assets of $55,993 in cash, $169,095 in receivables, $153,006 in inventory, $18,501 in other current assets, and long term assets of $2,309,952 in goodwill and other intangibles, $611,375 in fixed assets, $17,700 on other long term assets, and $380,864 in right of use assets. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $3,612,474, consisting of current assets of $49,185 in cash, $106,876 in receivables, $131,205 in inventory, $9,481 in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in total assets of $104,012, was primarily due to the increase in its account receivable of $62,219 and inventory of $21,801 as a result of slower customer pay times due to cash flow issues industry wide as a result of COVID-19 and a buildup of inventory to accommodate the increase in sales.

As of July 31, 2020, the Company had total liabilities totaling $2,299,802 including $1,232,402 in current payables and accrued expenses, $83,948 in related party payables, $563,389 in notes payable, and $200,056 in right of use liabilities. Long term liabilities total $220,007 and included both notes payable and right of use liabilities. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had total liabilities totaling $2,397,838 including $1,094,717 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $85,603 in related party payables, $762,889 in notes payable and $190,262 in right of use liabilities. Long term liabilities totaled $264,367 and included both notes payable and right of use liabilities. The decrease in liabilities of $105,395, was largely the result of a decrease in notes payable of $199,500 and right of use liabilities of $30,131, with the remainder being offset by an increase in operating expenses.

At July 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated stockholders’ equity of $1,416,684 and $1,214,636 at April 30,2020. The decrease is result of the items discussed above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three-month period ended July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019.

Revenues

For the three-month period ended July 31, 2020, the Company had revenues of $290,260, and $381,503 for the same period in 2019. The decrease in sales is primarily the result of the decrease in SPE’s sales by $103,000. SPE was selling a proprietary product to a single customer. Due to a change in the marketing strategy of the single customer, that customer’s requirement for the product was discontinued. From time-to-time there will be other opportunities for the Company to produce custom products for specific customers, which may not have continuing revenues from one financial period to another.

Operating Expenses

For the three-month period ended July 31, 2020, the Company’s operating expenses totaled $691,085, and $509,826 for the same period in 2019. The increase of $181,259 is primarily related to 1) increased officer salary expense; 2) professional fees relating to consulting, audit and legal; and 3) increased product delivery costs.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company's financial condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has limited cash, its current liabilities exceed its current assets as of July 31, 2020 and has incurred reoccurring losses from operations during the three months ended July 31, 2020. The Company is relying on capital from investors to meet the majority of its operating expenses.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company.
