NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Three Months Ended October 31, 2020

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Rivulet Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), at October 31, 2020, and for the three months ended October 31, 2020 are unaudited. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the three months ended October 31, 2020, and its cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2020. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at such date.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. (“Bio-Matrix”) was organized on October 6, 1998 in the State of Delaware, originally under the name Tasco International, Inc, which was subsequently changed to Tasco Holdings International, Inc., and then to Bio-Matrix Scientific Group, Inc. in 2006. On May 26, 2020, Bio-Matrix’s name was further changed to Rivulet Media, Inc.

2019 Reverse Acquisition Transaction

On July 31, 2019, Bio-Matrix acquired 100% of the share capital of Pine Hills, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, in exchange for the issuance of 4,080,000 common shares of Bio-Matrix, to Heather Cassady, the sole shareholder of Pine Hills, Inc. In conjunction with this transaction, all of the outstanding shares of Series AA and Series AAA Preferred Stock of Bio-Matrix were cancelled. Pine Hills was in the business of providing data storage and the archiving of corporate documents, and its operations subsequent to that date were nominal.

Upon completion of the transaction, Heather Cassady owned approximately 54% of the voting capital stock of Bio-Matrix immediately after the transaction. For financial accounting purposes, this transaction was considered a reverse acquisition of Bio-Matrix by Pine Hills, Inc. and was treated as a recapitalization with Pine Hills, Inc. as the accounting acquirer. Pine Hills was liquidated on August 13, 2020.

2020 Change in Control Transaction

On March 26, 2020, Debbie Rasmussen and Klusman Family Holdings (together, the “Buyers”) and David Koos and Heather Cassady (together, the “Sellers”) closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) whereby Buyers purchased from Sellers 4,364,235 shares of the outstanding common stock of Bio-Matrix. This transaction resulted in a change in control of Bio-Matrix, based on the transfer of approximately 55.8% of the outstanding common shares of Bio-Matrix from Sellers to Buyers. The amount of consideration for the purchase of such common shares was $215,000, with the source of the consideration being a loan from an unaffiliated third party.

As a condition of closing of the transaction, each director and officer of Bio-Matrix resigned from their position effective April 6, 2020, and Mike Witherill and Aaron Klusman were appointed as directors of Bio-Matrix to take office effective April 6, 2020. Additionally, effective April 6, 2020, Mr. Klusman was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Matrix and Mr. Witherill was appointed Vice-Chairman and President of Bio-Matrix. At the closing of the transaction, Mike Witherill and Aaron Klusman, directly and indirectly, effectively owned the equivalent of 77,896,200 shares of common stock of Bio-Matrix, representing approximately 89.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Bio-Matrix.

In conjunction with the change in control transaction, all current liabilities of Bio-Matrix, including accounts payable and notes payable to related and unrelated parties, plus accrued interest, aggregating $141,936, were paid by the Buyers through a contribution to capital to Bio-Matrix prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition transaction, which became effective on April 13, 2020.

2020 Reverse Acquisition Transaction

On April 13, 2020, Bio-Matrix acquired 100% of the equity capital of Rivulet Films, Inc. (“Rivulet Films”), which was organized on February 11, 2020 in the State of Arizona, in exchange for the issuance of 79,155,765 shares of common stock of Bio-Matrix distributed on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of Rivulet Films. Rivulet Films is a development stage company involved in the arts, entertainment and recreation business.

The current control shareholders of Bio-Matrix (consisting of Mike Witherill, Debbie Rasmussen (the wife of Mike Witherill), and Klusman Family Holdings (controlled by Aaron Klusman), through a series of orchestrated and interdependent transactions over a period of approximately three months, obtained effective control of Bio-Matrix (both a majority of the equity and the board of directors) and caused Rivulet Films to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix. Accordingly, for financial accounting purposes, this transaction was considered a reverse acquisition of Bio-Matrix by Rivulet Films and was treated as a recapitalization with Rivulet Films as the accounting acquiror and Bio-Matrix as the accounting acquiree. The financial statements presented herein consist of those of Rivulet Films for the period from February 11, 2020 (inception) through July 31, 2020, with the financial statements of Bio-Matrix included for the period from April 13, 2020 through July 31, 2020.

The stockholders’ equity section of Bio-Matrix has been retroactively restated to reflect the accounting effect of the reverse acquisition transaction. All share and per share amounts presented herein also reflect the retroactive restatement of the stockholders’ equity section of Bio-Matrix. All costs associated with the reverse acquisition transaction were charged to expense as incurred.

Changes in Capital Structure of Company

On January 29, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to (1) reduce the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 16,000,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares, with no change in the $0.0001 per share par value; (2) effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and all classes of issued and outstanding preferred stock at an exchange ratio of one new share for every 2,000 old shares, with fractional shares of stock being rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share and per share amounts presented in these financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-2,000 reverse stock split.

On May 26, 2020, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to (1) change the Company’s name to Rivulet Media, Inc.; (2) increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share, with the number of shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue remaining unchanged at 20,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share; and (3) eliminate the class of Non-Voting Preferred Stock, of which 200,000 shares, par value $1.00 per share, had been authorized, of which none were outstanding.

Formation of Subsidiaries

In June 2020, the Company formed Borderline Productions LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rivulet Films for a documentary related to the life of former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Production activities had commenced as of July 31, 2020.

In June 2020, the Company formed PBP Productions LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rivulet Films for production activities related to the film “Please Baby Please”. Production activities began during September 2020.

In August 2020, the Company formed Mistress Movie, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rivulet Films for production activities related to a feature film. As of October 31, 2020, production activities had not commenced; production activities commenced during December 2020.

In October 2020, the Company formed Into the Black Productions LLC, an Arizona limited liability company as wholly-owned subsidiary of Rivulet Films for production activities related to a documentary film. As of December 1, 2020, production activities had not commenced.

The Company expects to continue to form special purpose subsidiaries to produce various films and music projects.

Business

The Company is engaged in the production, distribution and marketing of feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales.

The Company’s business activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below at “Going Concern”. Although the Company has commenced business operations at October 31, 2020, it does not have positive cash flows from operations and will be dependent on periodic infusions of capital to fund its operating requirements. 

At July 31, 2020, the Company had commenced production of a documentary related to the life of former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company commenced the filming of its first film production, “Please Baby Please”. The Company subsequently commenced the filing of its second film production, “Mistress Movie”, in December 2020. Upon completion of a production, the Company expects to receive initial revenues from domestic and foreign distribution contracts.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and negative operating cash flows since inception. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $477,730. The Company has financed its working capital requirements during this period primarily through the sale of its equity securities and the issuance of convertible debt. Accordingly, management has concluded that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

At October 31, 2020, the Company had limited cash resources available to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company’s business activities to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard.

As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period from February 11, 2020 (inception) through July 31, 2020, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The development and expansion of the Company’s business subsequent to October 31, 2020 will be dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that they will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company’s business operations to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining. There is also significant uncertainty as to the affect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount and type of financing in the future.

If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, obtain funds, if available, although there can be no certainty, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to any assets, or to discontinue its operations entirely.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates to be made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements relate to revenues realized and costs incurred for films and television programs; valuing equity instruments issued; the realization of deferred tax assets; accruals for contingent liabilities; impairment assessments for investments in films and television programs, equity investments and intangible assets.

Film, Television Programs, and Music Production Costs 

Film, television program, and music production costs are capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 926, Entertainment - Films. Capitalized amounts are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or fair value. These costs represent capitalized costs for the production of films and other entertainment projects. In addition to the films, television programs and music that the Company may produce, costs of productions in development are capitalized as development costs and are transferred to production costs when the project is set for production. Films, television programs and music in development include costs of acquiring film rights to books, stage plays or original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects, as well as amounts paid to musical artists. Projects in development are written off if they are determined not to be recoverable, and are evaluated for impairment at each reporting period.

Once a project is released to consumers, the capitalized costs are amortized on an individual project basis in the proportion that the current revenue for each project bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized revenue to be received from all sources for each project as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. Revenue and cost forecasts are periodically reviewed by management and revised when warranted.

The carrying value of film costs are reviewed for impairment each reporting period on a project-by-project basis. If events or changes in circumstance indicate that the fair value of the capitalized costs on a specific project is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the project’s fair value.

The Company has not completed any projects as of October 31, 2020 and has not recognized any impairment charges.

Revenue Recognition

Film and Television Program Revenues

The Company’s film and television program business is expected to generate revenues principally from the licensing of content in domestic theatrical exhibition, home entertainment (e.g., digital media and packaged media), television, and international market places.

Revenue will be recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services or goods. Revenues do not include taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities, such as sales tax and value-added tax.

Licensing Arrangements. The Company’s content licensing arrangements are expected to include fixed fee and minimum guarantee arrangements, and sales or usage-based royalties.

Fixed Fee or Minimum Guarantees: The Company’s fixed fee or minimum guarantee licensing arrangements may, in some cases, include multiple titles, multiple license periods (windows) with a substantive period in between the windows, rights to exploitation in different media, or rights to exploitation in multiple territories, which may be considered distinct performance obligations. When these performance obligations are considered distinct, the fixed fee or minimum guarantee in the arrangement is allocated to the title, window, media right or territory as applicable, based on estimates of relative standalone selling prices. The amounts related to each performance obligation (i.e., title, window, media or territory) will be recognized when the content has been delivered, and the window for the exploitation right in that territory has begun, which is the point in time at which the customer is able to begin to use and benefit from the content.

Sales or Usage Based Royalties: Sales or usage based royalties will represent amounts due to the Company based on the “sale” or “usage” of the Company’s content by the customer, and revenues which will be recognized at the later of when the subsequent sale or usage occurs, or the performance obligation to which some or all the sales or usage-based royalty has been allocated and has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Generally, when the Company licenses completed content (with standalone functionality, such as a movie, or television show), its performance obligation will be satisfied prior to the sale or usage. When the Company licenses intellectual property that does not have stand-alone functionality (e.g., brands, themes, logos, etc.), its performance obligation will generally be satisfied in the same period as the sale or usage. The actual amounts due to the Company under these arrangements will generally not be reported to the Company until after the close of the reporting period. The Company will record revenue under these arrangements for the amounts due and not yet reported to the Company based on estimates of the sales or usage of these customers and pursuant to the terms of the contracts. Such estimates will be based on information from the Company’s customers, historical experience with similar titles in that market or territory, the performance of the title in other markets, and/or data available in the industry.

Revenues by Market or Product Line. The following describes the revenues expected to be generated by market or product line.

Digital Transaction Revenue Sharing Arrangements: Will represent primarily revenue sharing arrangements with certain digital media platforms which generally provide that, in exchange for a nominal or no upfront sales price, the Company shares in the rental or sales revenues generated by the platform on a title-by-title basis. These digital media platforms generate revenue from rental and EST arrangements, such as download-to-own, download-to-rent, and video-on-demand. These revenue sharing arrangements are recognized as sales or usage-based royalties based on the performance of these platforms and pursuant to the terms of the contract, as discussed above.

Licenses of Content to Digital Platforms: Will represent primarily the licensing of content to subscription-video-on-demand (“SVOD”) or other digital platforms for a fixed fee. As discussed above, revenues are recognized when the content has been delivered and the window for the exploitation right in that territory has begun.

Revenues from the licensing of film and television content and the sales and licensing of music will be recognized when the content has been delivered and the license period has begun, as discussed above. Revenues from the licensing of symbolic intellectual property (i.e., licenses of motion pictures or television characters, brands, storylines, themes or logos) will be recognized over the corresponding license term. Commissions will be recognized as such services are provided.

Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue is expected to relate primarily to customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation.

Payment terms are expected to vary by location and type of customer and the nature of the licensing arrangement, however, other than multi-year license arrangements; payments will generally be due within 60 days after revenue is recognized. For certain multi-year licensing arrangements, primarily in the television, digital media, and international markets, payments may be due over a longer period. When the Company expects the period between fulfillment of the Company’s performance obligation and the receipt of payment to be greater than a year, a significant financing component will be present. In these cases, such payments will be discounted to present value based on a discount rate reflective of a separate financing transaction between the customer and the Company, at contract inception. The significant financing component will be recorded as a reduction to revenue and accounts receivable initially, with such accounts receivable discount amortized to interest income over the period to receipt of payment. The Company does not assess contracts with deferred payments for significant financing components if, at contract inception, the Company expects the period between fulfillment of the performance obligation and subsequent payment to be one year or less.

In other cases, customer payments may be made in advance of when the Company fulfills its performance obligation and recognizes revenue. This may primarily occur under television production contracts, in which payments may be received as the production progresses, international motion picture contracts, where a portion of the payments are received prior to the completion of the movie and prior to license rights start dates, and pay television contracts with multiple windows with a portion of the revenues deferred until the subsequent exploitation windows commence. These arrangements will not contain significant financing components because the reason for the payment structure is not for the provision of financing to the Company, but rather to mitigate the Company’s risk of customer non-performance and incentivize the customer to exploit the Company’s content.

Cash

The Company maintains its cash balances with financial institutions with high credit ratings and in accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Company may periodically have cash balances in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.

Investment in Marketable Securities

The Company’s investment in marketable securities consists primarily of corporate equities with a quoted market price that are classified as trading securities. Marketable securities are stated at fair value as determined by the closing price of each security at each balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are included in operations for the applicable period.

Concentration of Risk

The Company may periodically contract with consultants and vendors to provide services related to the Company’s business activities. Agreements for these services may be for a specific time period or for a specific project or task.

Costs and expenses incurred that represented 10% or more of costs for the three months ended October 31, 2020 consist of legal fees of $57,145 incurred with the Company’s corporate law firm, which represented 12% of total general and administrative costs for such period and audit fees of $64,661 incurred with the Company corporate auditor, which represented 14% of total general and administrative cost for such period.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to operations in the period such determination was made. Alternatively, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to operations in the period such determination was made.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Rivulet Films, converted from a pass-through limited liability corporation to a “C” corporation effective April 13, 2020.

As the Company’s net operating losses in the respective jurisdictions in which it operates have yet to be utilized, all previous tax years remain open to examination by the respective taxing authorities.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2020 and does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. The tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. As of October 31, 2020, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain tax positions in subsequent periods. In future periods, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues common stock and stock options to officers, directors, employees, contractors and consultants for services rendered. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants, which are generally time vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period.

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees, contractors and consultants by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for equity awards utilizing the grant date fair value of the awards, with the cost recognized as compensation expense over the period during which the individual is required to perform services in exchange for the award, which is generally over the vesting period of the award.

The fair value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock. Estimated volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over an appropriate calculation period, or, if not available, by reference to the volatility of a representative sample of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of the common stock is determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Through October 31, 2020, stock-based compensation costs have been included in general and administrative costs. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required.

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.

Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds and are measured using present value pricing models.

The Company will determine the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company will perform an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.

The Company’s financial instruments include investment in marketable securities, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and due to related parties. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates their respective carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible notes payable, convertible preferred stock and stock options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because convertible debt and stock options outstanding were anti-dilutive.

At October 31, 2020 the Company excluded the outstanding securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The 9,652,000 shares of common stock associated with the outstanding common stock subscription receivable at October 31, 2020 have been excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.

Weighted average common shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the 2020 Reverse Acquisition Transaction (see Note 1).

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment will be recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment will be included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation of property and equipment will be provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years. The Company will recognize depreciation of property and equipment in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Leases

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the inception of the lease initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost that is calculated as a total cost of the lease allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 excludes short-term operating leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date, and that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company did not have any leases within the scope of ASU 2016-02 at October 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivable. ASU 2016-13 will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the provisions of ASU 2016-13 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which ASU 2016-13 is effective. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management has not yet evaluated the effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures subsequent to its adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures subsequent to its adoption.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has not yet evaluated the effect that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures subsequent to its adoption.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On May 26, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, with an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares issuable under the plan, with a ten-year expiration, and providing that options for no more than 10,000,000 shares be granted as Incentive Stock Options. As of October 31, 2020, stock options for 9,000,000 shares of common stock had been granted.

The Company periodically issues common stock and stock options to officers, directors and consultants for services rendered. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants, which are generally time vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period.

The fair value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and can be affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock. Estimated volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over an appropriate calculation period, or, if not available, by reference to the volatility of a representative sample of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of the common stock is determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

For stock options issued during the three months ended October 31, 2020, the fair value of each stock option award was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

Stock-based compensation cost for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was $22,239.

A summary of stock option activity during the three months ended October 31, 2020 is presented below.

Total deferred compensation expense for the outstanding value of unvested stock options was approximately $94,500 as of October 31, 2020, which will be recognized subsequent to October 31, 2020 over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.75 years.

The intrinsic value of exercisable but unexercised in-the-money stock options at October 31, 2020 was approximately $1,200,000 based on a fair market value of $0.34 per share on October 31, 2020.

The Company expects to satisfy such stock obligations through the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company paid producer fees to an officer totaling $25,000, which were accounted for as project development costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2020 (see Note 8).

Information with respect to the collection of common stock subscriptions receivable from related parties is provided at Note 9.

Information with respect to employee compensation is provided at Note 12.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into a short-term lease assignment with an unrelated party for office space in Gilbert, Arizona through December 31, 2020 at the rate of approximately $800 per month. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company charged $2,448 to operations with respect to this lease assignment.

Employment Agreements

On May 27, 2020, the Company, and Paris Film, Inc. and Rob Paris (together, the “Employee”) entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Paris Agreement” and together with the Arpaio Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant which the Company agreed to employ Employee in the position of President of Rivulet Films, a subsidiary of the Company. The employment of the Employee began on June 1, 2020, for a guaranteed term of six months, following which time the employment relationship may be terminated with or without good cause or for any reason or no reason by either the Employee or the Company.

The Employee will be paid $10,000 per month commencing June 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020, which shall be guaranteed by the Company.

The fair value of these stock options, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $300,227 ($0.03336 per share), of which $166,793 was attributable to the stock options fully-vested on May 27, 2020 and was therefore was charged to operations on that date. The remaining unvested portion of the fair value of the stock options will be charged to operations ratably from May 27, 2020 through June 1, 2022. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $22,239 with respect to these stock options.

The Paris Agreement subjects the Employee to certain restrictive covenants and a standard confidentiality provision. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $30,000 with respect to the cash portion of the Paris Agreement.

In connection with the employment, to the extent controlled by the Employee and so long as the Employee remains attached to each project in perpetuity, the Employee grants to Rivulet Films a right of first refusal to all rights, title, and interest to the film projects known as “Please Baby Please” and “Acolyte”, as well as to all other film, story, or other production concepts which the Employee creates, develops, or otherwise originates during the term of employment and not passed on by Rivulet Films.

Mr. Witherill will devote his full time and attention to his duties, and will receive an annual salary of $360,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, provided that such amount may be deferred as determined by Mr. Witherill or the Board of Directors as needed to cover other Company expenses. Mr. Witherill is permitted to serve as a director of not for profit and for profit businesses that do not compete with the Company. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $90,000 with respect to this Employment Agreement.

On August 14, 2020, the Company and Aaron Klusman entered into an Employment Agreement with respect to his positions as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Klusman is to devote as much time and attention to his duties as is necessary, and will receive an annual salary of $360,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, provided that such amount may be deferred as determined by Mr. Klusman or the Board of Directors as needed to cover other Company expenses.

The employment of the Executives under the Employment Agreements commenced effective April 1, 2020, and will continue for two years, subject to successive one-year renewals. Each Executive will be an “at-will” employee. Either the Executive or the Company may terminate his employment with or without cause, for any reason or no reason, and at any time. The Executives are each subject to standard confidentiality provisions and a non-compete, non-solicitation covenant for a one-year period following termination of employment.

Legal Matters

The Company may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings, regulatory actions, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, which are not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial statements. As of October 31, 2020, the Company was not a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.

Impact of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the Company’s Business Operations

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company’s business in the future. The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company’s business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus may have on the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.

13. INCOME TAXES

During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company did not provide any provision for income taxes, as the Company incurred losses during such period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Overview

The Company is engaged in the production, distribution and marketing of feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales, as well as the music production and distribution industry.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below at “Going Concern”. Although the Company has commenced nominal business operations, it does not have positive cash flows from operations and will be dependent on periodic infusions of capital to fund its operating requirements. 

At July 31, 2020, the Company had commenced production of a documentary related to the life of former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, which is now currently in post-production editing and is expected to be completed in early 2021, but there is no assurance that delays may not occur. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company commenced the filming of its first film production, “Please Baby Please” in Montana under strict COVID -19 protocols approved by the Screen Actors Guild. The Company subsequently commenced the filing of its second film production, “Mistress Movie”, in December 2020. Upon completion of a production, the Company expects to receive initial revenues from domestic and foreign distribution contracts.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and negative operating cash flows since inception. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $477,730 The Company has financed its working capital requirements during this period primarily through the sale of its equity securities and the issuance of convertible debt. Accordingly, management has concluded that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

At October 31, 2020, the Company had limited cash resources available to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company’s business activities to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.

As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period from February 11, 2020 (inception) through July 31, 2020, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The development and expansion of the Company’s business subsequent to October 31, 2020 will be dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that they will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company’s business operations to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining. There is also significant uncertainty as to the affect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount and type of financing in the future.

If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, obtain funds, if available, although there can be no certainty, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to any assets, or to discontinue its operations entirely.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations presented below is based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 2020 presented elsewhere in this document, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the Company’s control. As a result, these issues are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on the Company’s historical operations, the future business plans and the projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, trends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources. For a more complete description of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Film, Television Programs, and Music Production Costs 

Film, television program, and music production costs are capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 926, Entertainment - Films. Capitalized amounts are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or fair value. These costs represent capitalized costs for the production of films and other entertainment projects. In addition to the films, television programs and music that the Company may produce, costs of productions in development are capitalized as development costs and are transferred to production costs when the project is set for production. Films, television programs and music in development include costs of acquiring film rights to books, stage plays or original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects, as well as amounts paid to musical artists. Projects in development are written off if they are determined not to be recoverable, and are evaluated for impairment at each reporting period.

Once a project is released to consumers, the capitalized costs are amortized on an individual project basis in the proportion that the current revenue for each project bears to the estimated remaining unrecognized revenue to be received from all sources for each project as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. Revenue and cost forecasts are periodically reviewed by management and revised when warranted.

The carrying value of film costs are reviewed for impairment each reporting period on a project-by-project basis. If events or changes in circumstance indicate that the fair value of the capitalized costs on a specific project is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the project’s fair value.

The Company has not completed any projects as of October 31, 2020 and, accordingly, has not recognized any impairment charges.

Revenue Recognition

Film and Television Program Revenues

The Company’s film and television program business is expected to generate revenues principally from the licensing of content in domestic theatrical exhibition, home entertainment (e.g., digital media and packaged media), television, and international market places.

Revenue will be recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services or goods. Revenues do not include taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities, such as sales tax and value-added tax.

Results of Operations

At October 31, 2020, the Company has commenced business operations, but did not have positive cash flows from operations and will be dependent on periodic infusions of capital to fund its operating requirements.

Operating Expenses

The Company generally recognizes operating costs and expenses as they are incurred in two general categories, sales and marketing costs and expenses and general and administrative costs and expenses. The Company’s operating costs and expenses also include non-cash components related to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment which are allocated, as appropriate, to sales and marketing costs and expenses and general and administrative costs and expenses.

Sales and marketing costs and expenses consist primarily of press releases, web design and photo shoots and related one-time use equipment.

General and administrative costs and expenses consist of stock-based compensation, payroll to officers and employees, accounting fees, audit fees, legal fees, transfer agent fees, insurance, investor relations and other general corporate expenses. Management expects general and administrative costs and expenses to increase in future periods as the Company adds personnel and incurs additional costs related to its operation as a public company for a full fiscal year, including higher legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, compensation and other costs.

Three Months Ended October 31, 2020

The Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2020 as discussed herein, are presented below.

Change in Fair Value of Investment in Marketable Securities. For the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded a credit for the change in fair value of the investment in marketable securities of $6,082, as a result of an increase in the fair value of the investment in marketable securities held by the Company as of October 31, 2020.

Net Loss. For the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $477,730.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – October 31, 2020

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and negative operating cash flows since inception. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $477,730. The Company has financed its working capital requirements during this period primarily through the sale of its equity securities and the issuance of convertible debt. Accordingly, management has concluded that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period from February 11, 2020 (inception) through July 31, 2020, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see “Going Concern” above).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

At October 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $164,118 and cash of $500,668. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company generated cash of $660,000 from the sale of 13,200,000 shares of common stock in August, September and October 2020, and cash of $67,400 from common stock subscriptions receivable with both related and unrelated parties for 1,348,000 shares of common stock which were subscribed for in August and September 2020.

At October 31, 2020, the Company had limited cash resources available to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company’s business activities to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.

Operating Activities

For the three months ended October 31, 2020, operating activities utilized cash of $492,742 to fund the Company’s ongoing operating expenses.

Investing Activities

For the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company’s investing activities utilized cash of $752,271 for the payment of project development costs.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended October 31, 2020, the Company’s financing activities consisted of proceeds of $660,000 from the sale of 13,200,000 shares of common stock, $67,400 received from common stock subscriptions receivable for 1,348,000 shares of common stock, proceeds of $100,000 from the issuance of a convertible promissory note payable, $100,000 from the issuance of an unsecured promissory note, and $800,000 from the issuance of a secured Multiple Advance Promissory Note.

Project Funding

The Company expects that its film projects will generally be funded through a variety of techniques. The films that the Company intends to produce will likely include a star cast and a compelling script. The Company plans to use its sales agents to pre-sell foreign distribution rights, which would include money guarantees from the distributors. In addition, the Company’s sales agents will attempt to secure domestic right pre-sales through backstop (floor amount) agreements or direct distribution agreements with money guarantees. Finally, the Company plans to produce films in states that provide significant tax incentive rebates. The Company’s objective is for these agreements, together with the tax incentives, to provide security for bank financing at 80% to 90% of the aggregate contract and tax incentive amounts. The Company’s objective is that bank loans, pre-sale agreements and tax incentive assignments will provide sufficient funds to finance the respective project costs.

In some cases, while the funds may be sufficient to fully finance a production, there may be a timing difference between obtaining the funds and the time frame needed to complete the project. In such cases, the Company intends to seek temporary funding from film project lenders until the Company is able to obtain project financing from a senior lender.

Principal Commitments

Employment Agreements

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries have entered into employment agreements with their officers with total aggregate monthly salaries of $70,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements at July 31, 2020 or October 31, 2020.

Impact of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the Company’s Business Operations

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company’s business in the future. The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company’s business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus may have on the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.

Trends, Events and Uncertainties

The production, distribution and marketing of feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales, is, by its nature, unpredictable and costly, and occurs over an extended period of time. Although the Company will undertake program development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts to raise funds in the future will be sufficient to enable the Company to develop its program content to the extent needed to create future revenues to sustain operations as contemplated herein.

There can be no assurances that the Company will ever achieve sustainable revenues sufficient to support its operations. Even if the Company is able to generate revenues, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve profitability or positive operating cash flows. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its programs, or to curtail or discontinue its operations entirely.

Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in these financial statements, the Company is not currently aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition in the near term, although it is possible that new trends or events may develop in the future that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013).

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to ensure that material information regarding the Company’s operations is made available to management and the board of directors to provide them reasonable assurance that the published financial statements are fairly presented.

The Company is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, consisting of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Rule 15d-15(b) of the SEC, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2020, the end of the most recent period covered by this report.

Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2020, due to the identification of significant deficiencies and the existence of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described below, the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning both the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and SEC reporting standards. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that obligate the Company to maintain reasonably detailed records that accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s business transactions, provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s business transactions are properly and timely recorded, ensure that the Company’s receipts and disbursements are authorized by management, if applicable, by the Company’s board of directors, that revenues are properly and timely recorded, and that assets are properly identified, recorded and periodically evaluated for impairment.

Based on the Company’s assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of October 31 2020 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and SEC reporting standards, for the reasons noted below.

The Company effected a reverse merger transaction effective April 13, 2020 with a company that had only recently been formed on February 11, 2020, as a result of which the business, operations, accounting, board of directors and executive management of the Company changed. In conjunction with the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended October 31, 2020, the Company identified certain accounting issues that indicated certain deficiencies in the Company’s internal ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and SEC reporting standards.

Current executive management has not yet assembled the financial and accounting staff necessary to conform to the checks and balances needed for proper internal controls, as well as with the technical competence and accounting experience to address accounting and reporting issues under US GAAP and SEC reporting standards. Current management has retained the services of qualified outside consultants with expertise to perform specific accounting and finance functions, and to assist in the design of accounting and internal control systems. Accordingly, the Company has not yet completed the process to establish adequate internal controls over financial reporting, and it expects that this process will take some time to accomplish and will require the availability of additional operating capital. However, there can be no assurances that these efforts will be sufficient to fully develop and implement adequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, consisting of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any instances of malfeasance or fraud have been detected.

Management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the three months ended October 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, consisting of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has determined that no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during or subsequent to the quarter ended October 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than the material weaknesses as noted above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not currently subject to any pending or threatened legal actions or claims.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including those set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

The Risk Factors set forth in the 2020 Form 10-K should be read carefully in connection with evaluating the Company’s business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the 2020 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K, except as noted below.

Impact of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the Company’s Business Operations

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company’s business in the future. The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company’s business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus may have on the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future.
