NATURE OF BUSINESS

Lux Amber, Corp. (“LAC”), formed on January 19, 2018, is an international specialty chemical company. Its corporate offices are currently located at 6136 Frisco Square Blvd., Suite 400, #237, Frisco, TX 75034. LAC’s corporate telephone number is 972-214-9764. LAC has a stock symbol of LXAM.

LAC has three (3) wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively with LAC, the “Company”): Worldwide Specialty Chemicals, Inc. (“WSCI”), Industrial Chem Solutions, Inc. (“ICS”), and Safeway Pest Elimination, LLC, (“SPE”), which was formed July 16, 2018. LAC and its subsidiaries serve as both producers and distributors of environmentally safe, specialty chemicals. The Company formerly held a 49% interest in PCNM LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran owned small business that sold the Company’s products to government agencies. PCNM was legally dissolved on July 31, 2020.

The Company’s products 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’s 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 LAC, WSCI, ICS, SPE, and PCNM. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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, accounts payable, accrued expenses, related party payables, notes payable, and Paycheck Protection Program loans. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management on October 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021. The carrying value of the financial instruments included in the Company’s consolidated 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 six months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 82,668 and 82,668 common stock warrants, respectively, and 6,749,750 and 6,469,750 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 receivables are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, as necessary, based on 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. On October 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.

Revenue Recognition

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. For the three-month and six-month periods ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, all revenue was from products sold.

Our sales policies do not provide for general rights of return, and payment is due net of 15 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.

Sales Taxes

Sales (and similar) taxes that are imposed on the Company's sales and collected from customers are excluded from revenues.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs for shipping and handling activities, including those activities that occur after transfer of control to the customer, are recorded as cost of sales and are expensed as incurred. The Company accrues costs for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the promised good has transferred to the customer.

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:: 

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 earnings 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.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the enterprise value/cash paid less the fair value of all recognized net asset fair values including identifiable intangible asset values in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on the reporting unit. As a result of the certain business developments and changes in the Company's long-term projections, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred that required an impairment assessment to be performed. The qualitative assessment thresholds were not met. The Company calculated the quantitative impairment test of using the implied fair market value using market data and concluded there was no goodwill impairment loss. Based on annual testing, the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment in Fiscal 2021. The Company noted no triggering events as of October 31, 2021.

The Company first evaluates qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If after qualitatively assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then further testing is unnecessary. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company then estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill, as discussed below.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step, the reporting unit's fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.

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.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 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 October 31, 2021 or April 30, 2021.

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.

License Fee

ICS pays 10% of the net selling price of $9.50 a gallon to CBI Polymers, Inc (“CBI”), as a mutually acceptable license fee. E. Thomas Layton, Chairman and CEO of LAC, is also the Chairman and CEO and controlling shareholder of CBI. During the six-month ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $7,046 and $5,190 of license fees to CBI for those sales. During the three-month ended October 31,2021, the Company incurred $4,944 and $4,790 of license fees to CBI for those sales.

Advertising Costs

The Company recognizes expenses for advertising costs as they are incurred. During the six-month ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $1,569 and $4,790 in advertising costs. During the three-month period ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $443 and $443 in advertising costs.

Going Concern

The accompanying 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 $15,597,545 on October 31, 2021. The Company has a working capital deficit of $2,178,758 as of October 31, 2021. 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. Accordingly, the Company is arranging 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. 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 a smaller reporting 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 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 became 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.

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 October 31, 2021, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at October 31, 2021 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 October 31, 2021 and 2020: 

9. 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 October 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 loan was fully forgiven in November of 2020.

On February 11, 2021, WSC received $40,625 from the Paycheck Protection Program. The PPP Loan has a 5 five-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and does not require collateral. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for ten months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. WSC has not yet applied for forgiveness but believes it will be forgiven.

On February 14, 2021, ICS received $48,510 from the Paycheck Protection Program. The PPP Loan has a 5 five-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and does not require collateral. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for ten months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. ICS has not yet applied for forgiveness but believes it will be forgiven.

On March 16, 2021, SPE received $15,657 from the Paycheck Protection Program. The PPP Loan has a 5 five-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and does not require collateral. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for ten months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. SPE has not yet applied for forgiveness but believes it will be forgiven.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020.

Revenues

For the three-month period ended October 31, 2021, the Company had revenues of $433,920, and $396,155 for the same period in 2020. The increase in sales is primarily the result of 1) expanded business with legacy customers to service additional Hot Mix Asphalt Plants under their ownership; 2) increase in sales price per unit; 3) addition of new customers.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2021, the Company had revenues of $857,748, and $686,415 for the same period in 2020. The increase in sales is primarily the result of 1) expanded business with legacy customers to service additional Hot Mix Asphalt Plants under their ownership; 2) increase in sales price per unit; 3) addition of new customers.

Cost of Goods Sold decreased as a percentage of revenues due to a change in the mix of products sold during the period and increases in the gross selling prices on all the products offered by the company.

Operating Expenses

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2021, the Company’s operating expenses totaled $1,082,454 which included $272,639 in product delivery expenses, $719,302 in general and administrative expenses, $10,542 in selling expenses and $79,971 in depreciation of assets. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2020, the Company had operating expenses that totaled $1,439,745 which included $301,266 in product delivery expenses, $1,027,757 in general and administrative expenses, $35,755 in selling expenses and $74,967 in depreciation.

The decrease is primarily due to 1) Less travel cost due to more efficient use of mobile assets; 2) Shifting the cost burden of delivery to the customer; 3) Improved cost accounting processes; 4) Improved purchasing processes by sourcing raw materials from multiple vendors and buying in larger quantities.

GOING CONCERN

The Company is relying on capital from investors to meet the majority of its operating expenses.
