Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
February 29,August 31, 2020
(Unaudited)
Note 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Life On Earth, Inc. (the “Company”) is an innovativea brand incubatoraccelerator and acceleratorincubator focused on building and scaling concepts in the natural consumer products category. OurThe Company’s mission is to bring our strategic focus and long-term forward-looking vision to consumers in the health, wellness and active lifestyle spaces through superior branding, product quality, targeted acquisitionsand direct to consumer and retail experience inwithin the functional beverage and other wellness categories.CPG industry.
Our objective is to grow as rapidly as possible (both organically and via strategic alliances and acquisitions) using the public capital markets for access to capital. The companies and assets sought by us will be those that already have market penetration in the following segments: (1) Sales (2) Marketing (3) Established Distribution network and (4) Manufacturing infrastructure in place.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Victoria’s Kitchen, LLC (“VK”) and The Chill Group, LLC (“JC”). During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company sold the Giant Beverage Company, Inc. (“GBC”) and their results are included herein as discontinued operations.
On June 21, 2019, the Company made the determination to shut down and discontinue the operations of ESDEnergy Source Distributors, Inc. (“ESD”) and further focus on theits brand portfolio. Effective November 4, 2019, ESD filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. On December 11, 2019, the Company received a final decree from the United States Bankruptcy Court ruling that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate for ESD had been fully administered. The results of operations of ESD for the nine monthsyears ended February 29,May 31, 2020 and 2019 are included herein as discontinued operations in the financial statements. The Company has recognized a gain on the disposal of ESD in the amount of $893,515 for the three month and nine monthsyear ended February 29, 2020,as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.May 31, 2020.
On October 3, 2019, the Company announced its intention to expand its business as a Consumer-Packaged Goods (“CPG”) Company into the Business to Consumer (“B2C”) space of the cannabis marketplace. The Company believes that having a direct relationship with consumers in the cannabis industry will allow it the best opportunity to leverage its brands such asJust Chill and continue to grow as a CPG company. There are no guarantees that the Company can successfully enter the cannabis marketplace and currently it is in the exploratory stages of identifying potential acquisition targets as well as strategic partners in order to generate revenues from that segment of the market. The Company believes that entering the direct to consumer segment of the cannabis market will be complimentary to its current business and will enhance the strategic focus in the health, wellness, and active lifestyle space.
The CompanyLFER was incorporated in Delaware in April 2013 and acquired VK in October 2017, and JC in August 2018. The Company currently markets and sell beverages, primarily through third party distributors.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K as of May 31, 2019.2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year.

Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606 which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The core principle of the standard is to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The Company recognizes sales of its beverage products, based on predetermined pricing, upon delivery of the product to its customers, as that is when the customer obtains control of the goods. WeThe Company considered several factors in determining that control transfers to the customer upon delivery of products. These factors include that legal title transfers to the customer, we have a present right to payment, and the customer has assumed the risk and rewards of ownership at the time of delivery. Payment is typically due within 30 days. The Company has no significant history of returns or refunds of its products.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Because the Company’s agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts are included in cost of goods sold. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from net sales. Sales are recorded net of provisions for discounts, slotting fees payable by us to retailers to stock our products and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances vary from customer to customer. The consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to distributors. The Company estimates these discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue.
All sales to distributors and customers are generally final. In limited instances the Company may accept returned product due to quality issues or distributor terminations, in which situations the Company would have variable consideration. To date, returns have not been material. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice. The Company offers prompt pay discounts of up to 2% to certain customers typically for payments made within 15 days. Prompt pay discounts are estimated in the period of sale based on experience with sales to eligible customers. Early pay discounts are recorded as a deduction to the accounts receivable balance presented on the consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Reverse Stock Split
On November 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and a majority of shareholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-five shares of common stock, without changing the par value, rights, terms, conditions, and limitations of such shares of common stock, (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 25, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), whereuponat which time the common stock shares of our common stock will beginbegan trading on a split adjusted basis. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of this reverse stock split.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of February 29,August 31, 2020, and May 31, 2019,2020, warrants and convertible notes payable could be converted into approximately 2,440,0005,817,000 and 1,143,0002,779,000 shares of common stock, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under the accrual method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of February 29,August 31, 2020 and does not expect this to change significantly over the next 12 months.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all share-based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value on the issuance date.
Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505, Equity. The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash, and that mature within three months from date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
At February 29,August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019,2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,837$4,884 and $106,156$3,831 respectively. The MayAt August 31, 2019 balance is adjusted for cash in ESD that has been reclassed to assets from discontinued operations. At November 30, 20192020 and May 31, 2019,2020, cash equivalents were comprised of funds in checking accounts, savings accounts and money market funds.
Restricted cash refers to money that is held for a specific purpose and therefore not available to the Company for immediate or general business use. Restricted cash as of May 31, 2019 included $50,000 in an escrow account for the resale of GBC, which was released to the buyers as of July 5, 2019. There was no restricted cash as of February 29, 2020.

Accounts Receivable
Our
The Company’s accounts receivable balance primarily includes balances from trade sales to distributors and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. WeThe Company determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based primarily on historical write-off experience. Account balances that are deemed uncollectible, are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. A significant change in demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for obsolete inventory. Provisions for obsolete or excess inventory are recorded as cost of goods sold.
As of February 29,August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019,2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $15,543$33,356 and $24,150,$33,356, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and raw material which are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizable value and include adjustments for estimated obsolete or excess inventory. A significant change in demand for certain products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for obsolete inventory. During the three and nine monthsyear ended February 29,May 31, 2020, the Company recorded and provision for obsolete and excess inventory of $0 and $78,000, respectively,$96,000, which was recorded as cost of goods sold. As of February 29,August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019,2020, there was approximately $19,000$0 and $216,000$0 of inventory on hand, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life, and accordingly, is not amortized, but evaluated annually (or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable) for impairment. The most significant assumptions, which are used in this test, are estimates of future cash flows. If these assumptions differ significantly from actual results, impairment charges may be required in the future.
Advertising
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense amounted to approximately $36,642$895 and $45,180$23,527 for the nine months ended February 29,August 31, 2020 and February 28,August 31, 2019, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of goods sold.
Business combination
GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the acquisition method. The Company applies ASC 805, “Business combinations”, whereby the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Any changes to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
11 |
Deferred Finance Cost
Deferred financing costs or debt issuance costs are costs associated with issuing debt, such as various fees and commissions paid to investment banks, law firms,auditors, regulators, and so on. Since these payments do not generate future benefits, they are treated as a contra debt account. The costs are capitalized, reflected in the balance sheet as a contra long-term liability, and amortized using the effective interest method or over the finite life of the underlying debt instrument, if below de minimus.
Derivative Liability
The Company accounts for certain instruments, which do not have fixed settlement provisions, as derivative instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, Derivative and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. This is due to the conversion features of certain convertible notes payable being tied to the market value of our common stock. As such, our derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value on the contract date and are subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. Changes in estimated fair value are recorded as non-cash adjustments within other income (expenses), in the Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Fair Value Measurements
In August 2018, the FASB issued a new guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.
We categorize our financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized as follows:
Level 1 inputs—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs—Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs).
Level 3 inputs—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are supported by little or no market activity and are valued based on management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-2, "Leases" (Topic 842), which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease transactions. This ASU requires organizations that lease assets, such as real estate and manufacturing equipment, to recognize assets and liabilities on their balance sheets for the rights to use those assets for the lease term and obligations to make lease payments created by those leases that have terms of greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount and timing of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU became effective for public entities beginning the first quarter 2019. During 2019 the Company sold the Giant Beverage Company which resulted in elimination of the company’s lease obligation related to that operation. The remaining lease obligation related to Energy Source Distributors which was terminated on July 31, 2019 reducing the remaining terms of the lease to 2 months. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-2 Leases which does not have material impact on Company’s financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. Management does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on Company’s financial statements.
12 |
In January 2017, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance to simplify the testing for goodwill impairment. The update removes the requirement to determine the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the current goodwill impairment test. A company will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The guidance is effective prospectively for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard is required to take effect in the Company’s first quarter (August 2020) of our fiscal year ending May 31, 2021. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify the interaction between the authoritative guidance for collaborative arrangements and revenue from contracts with customers. The new guidance clarifies that, when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit-of-account, revenue from contracts with customers guidance should be applied, adds unit-of-account guidance to collaborative arrangements guidance, and requires, that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant who is not a customer, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under contracts with customers is precluded. The Company does not have any collaborative arrangements or revenue from contracts and therefore Topic 808 does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 - BASIS OF REPORTING AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred losses from inception of approximately $16,400,000,$17,600,000, has a working capital deficiency of approximately $3,800,000$4,500,000 and a net capital deficiency of approximately $3,600,000,$4,500,000, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of February 29,August 31, 2020, the Company did not have sufficient cash on hand to fund operations for the next 12 months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's plans to raise additional capital from the sale of stock and receive additional loans from third parties and related parties. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - CONCENTRATIONS
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Cash in banks is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per institution, per entity. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its account receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Note 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We follow
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, or ASC 820-10, for our financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 – Inputs include the following:
• Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets
• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active
• Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are used in the valuation of the assets or liabilities (i.e., interest rate and yield curve quotes at commonly quoted intervals)
• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 inputs include management’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable.
The carrying value of our contingent liability approximated the fair value as of February 29,August 31, 2020 in considering Level 1 inputs within the hierarchy.
The carrying value of our derivative liability as of February 29,August 31, 2020 approximated the fair value in considering Level 3 inputs within the hierarchy. The Company’s derivative liability is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes valuation methodology.
For the ninethree months ended February 29,August 31, 2020 the following inputinputs were utilized to derive the fair value of our derivative liability:
2020 | ||||
Risk free interest rate | ||||
Expected dividend yield | 0 | |||
Expected term (in years) | 1 | |||
Expected volatility |

The Company amortizes its intangible assets using the straight-line method over a period ranging from 5-10 years. The Company reviews its intangible assets when there are indications of performance issues. During year ended May 31, 2019, the JCG brands did not perform at the level we anticipated, and sales milestones were achieved. The Company did not have the resources to support the brand during year ended May 31, 2019 and this had a direct impact on its performance. The Company has reorganized its focus on brands like JCG and expect that performance to improve during fiscal 2020, provided it can properly fund its operations. Based on this review and analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $725,000 against the intangibles recorded related to the acquisition of JCG during the year ended May 31, 2019, and, recorded an impairment charge of $150,000 during the nine months ended February 29, 2020. In addition, as a result of the shutdown of the ESD operations in June 2019, the remaining unamortized intangible assets related to the ESD acquisition of $265,625 was written off as of May 31, 2019.
Amortization expense for the three ended August 31, 2020 and six months ended February 29, 20202019 was $23,000$0 and $69,000,$0, respectively.

Coronavirus Risks
The outbreak of the coronavirus may negatively impact sourcing and manufacturing of the products that we sell as well as consumer spending, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”.
The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets worldwide, and may continue to do so, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our customers.
Covid-19 could adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending for products that we sell. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Sales and Distribution
The Company currently markets and sells mainstream functional beverage products through 3rdthird party Direct Store Delivery (DSD) platforms as well as through other distributors including KeHe Distributors, LLC (“KeHe”) and United Natural Foods, Incorporated “UNFI”. KeHe has a distribution network in more than 30,000 stores across North America. UNFI is a distributor of natural and organic foods, specialty foods, and related products in the United States and Canada.
The Company also sells itsit Victoria’s Kitchen brands and Just Chill brands direct to consumers via Amazon online. The Company is also actively seeking additional brands for its portfolio that are primarily engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling unique, premium, natural nonalcoholic functional beverages that are targeted towards the Company’s active lifestyle consumers.
The Company is lookingrecently announced that it would increase or expand its product lines, under its current brands or under new brands, to enter theinclude CBD. The Company seeks to reach new consumers in a more direct to consumer platform by looking at opportunities that will allow it to have direct access to consumers besides just third-party online platformsbusiness model instead of using the traditional channels such as Amazon.other wholesalers and retailers use.
Production and Distribution
We do not directly manufacture our products asbecause we outsource the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). After the product is manufactured, the finished products are stored in third-party warehouses. Other than minimum case volume requirements per production run, we do not have annual minimum production commitments with our co-packers. As we are using third party co-packers and do not have minimum production contracts in place, we could experience disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers. We continually review our contract packing needs in light of regulatory compliance and logistical requirements and may add or change co-packers based on those needs. These co-packers are located in different geographic locations throughout the United States and we currently the Company usesuse multiple co-packers. The material terms of these relationships are typically negotiated annually and include pricing, quality standards, delivery times and conditions, purchase orders, and payment terms. Payment terms are typically net 30, meaning that the total invoiced amount is expected to be paid in full within 30 days from the date the products or services are provided. We believe that we have sufficient options for each of our raw and packaging material needs, as well as our third-party distribution needs and also have long-term relationships with each of our suppliers and distributors, resulting in consistency in quality and supply. We also believe that we have sufficient breadth of retail relationships with distribution in both large and small retailers and independents and across multiple channels (mass, club, pharmacies, convenience, and small and large format retailers) throughout the United States.
30
The contractual arrangements with all third parties, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are typical of the beverage industry with standard terms. We have no long-term obligations with any of the third parties nor do any of them have long-term obligations with us. The third-party supplier, manufacturing and distribution agreements were entered into in the normal course of business within the guidelines of industry practices and are not deemed material and definite.
Competition
The Company isWe are a Consumer-Packaged Goods (“CPG”) company. OurWhat sets us apart in the industry, is our consolidated corporate structure that handles all aspects of sales, marketing and proprietary distribution from a centralized location. The Company’sOur platform is built for accelerating emerging growth brands in the United States by leveraging sales, supply chain, and distribution relationships. We have identified ways to build out distribution channels that are more flexible and responsive to today’s needs.
We realizebelieve that by sharing resources and capabilities in novel ways with new products in new situations, we can take advantage of profit-making opportunities that individual companies could not exploit alone.
The CPG industry and the direct selling industries are multi-billion-dollar industries which are highly competitive. We face intense competition from very large, international corporations, as well as from local and national companies. In addition, we face competition from well-known companies that have large market share.
The intensity of competition in the future is expected to increase, and no assurance can be provided that we can sustain our market position or expand our business.
Many of our current CPG competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. However, if we believe that, with ourdevelop a diverse product line and obtain adequate financing, we will generate significant sales andcan compete effectively in the industry. We face intense competition from very large, international corporations and from local and national companies. In addition, we face competition from well-known companies that have large market share. The intensity of competition in the future is expected to increase. Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and have more name recognition than we have.
Government Regulation
Packaged consumable and digestible products are governed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As such, it is necessary for the Company to ensure its products establish, maintain and make available for inspection, records and labels with nutrition information that meet food labeling requirements. The Company’s products are manufactured by contracted production facilities that are subject to many regulations, including Food Facility Registration, recordkeeping, Good Manufacturing Practice Requirements, reporting, preventive controls and inspections.
Research and Development Activities
Our research and development efforts arewere focused on two primary paths. The first is to continually review our existing formulas and production processes and structure to evaluate opportunities for cost of goods sold improvements, without degrading the quality or fundamentally changing the consumer appeal taste profile of our existing products. The second major research and development effort isefforts in the past were in the development of fundamentally new and differentiated products, based on consumer insights and trends and competitive intensity in those segments.
On October 3, 2019, the Company announced its intention to expand its business as a Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) company into the business to consumer (B2C) space of the cannabis marketplace. The Company believes having a direct relationship with consumers in the cannabis industry will allow it the best opportunity to leverage its brands such as Just Chill and continue to grow as a CPG company. There are no guarantees that the Company can successfully enter the cannabis marketplace and currently is in the exploratory stages of identifying potential acquisition targets.
Employees
The Company currently has 4three full-time employees. employees, as follows: a CEO, COO, and President.
Certain positions are being filled with paid independent contractors or insider owners who do not receive cash compensation but may receive stock compensation. In certain regions of the United States, we utilize the services of direct sales and distribution companies, which sell our products through their distribution channels. This can mitigate the need for a large sales and merchandising force. The Company also outsources its logistics to third-parties,third parties, which can reduce the need for employees in these roles.
Intellectual Property Protection
The Company has secured a registered trademark for its name and logo. The Company also has trademarks registered for the Victoria’s Kitchen and Just Chill brands.
GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION
Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net losses from inception of approximately $17,000,000,$17,600,000, has limited revenues, and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, whether it successfully acquires revenue generating companies or assumes new businesses that generate material revenues.
At February 29,August 31, 2020, we had cash on hand of approximately $8,800$4,800 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $16,400,000.$17,600,000. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

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

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model (as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Report) to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.
Revenue consists of the gross sales price, less allowances for which provisions are made at the time of sale, and less certain other discounts, allowances, and rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from gross revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling charges are included in cost of goods sold.
Trade Spend and Promotion Expenses
Throughout the year, we run trade spend and promotional programs with distributors and retailers to help promote on-shelf discounts to our consumers. Additionally, in more limited instances, we enter into customer marketing agreements or various other slotting arrangements. The provisions for discounts, slotting fees and promotion allowances is recorded as an offset to sales and shown net on the consolidated statement of operations. Estimates are made to accrue for amounts that have not yet been invoiced in the month that the program occurs, or in the case of slotting, when the commitment is made.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is greater than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment is not required. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that asset. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded at the estimated acquisition date fair value. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of the contractual life or their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.
As part of the Company’s annual review of goodwill and intangible assets we performed an analysis of the goodwill and intangible assets recorded as they relate to the acquisitions of JC and VK. Based on this analysis,The intangibles relate to trademarks and copyrights acquired in the JC acquisition and are being amortized over a 5-year period. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $725,000 against the intangibles recorded related to the intangible assets recorded in connection with the JC acquisition of JCG during the year ended May 31, 2019 and recorded an impairment charge of $150,000$299,000 during the three and six monthsyear ended November 30, 2019. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded $23,000 and $69,000 of amortization expense of intangible assets, respectively, leaving an unamortizedMay 31, 2020. The balance of $195,000the intangibles related to the JC acquisition as of February 29, 2020.August 31, 2020 was $0.
In addition, based on this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $145,000$195,000 related to the goodwill recorded in connection with the VK acquisition during three and six monthsthe year ended November 30, 2019.May 31, 2020 The balance of goodwill as of February 29,August 31, 2020 is $50,000.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 12, 2019, the Company was served with a summons from the Supreme Court of the State of New York to answer a complaint filed by the Gankaku Living Trust ("Gankaku") regarding the matured outstanding convertible note (the "Note") issued to Gankaku from the Company on May 24, 2018 with an original maturity date of May 24, 2019. This maturity date of the Note was extended on May 24, 2019 until June 24, 2019. The Company paid the outstanding interest on the note of $7,000 as part of this extension. On June 25, 2019, a demand letter was sent to the Company requesting payment in full under the terms of the Note. The Company had 10 business days to pay the outstanding balance or the note would be in default. On July 17, 2019, Gankaku's counsel sent the Company’s counsel an official notice of default for the Note and demanded the immediate issuance of Common Stock per the Note and also demanded the Company make all of its assets available to Gankaku as collateral. The Company has retained counsel to represent the Company during these proceedings. The Company has responded to Gankaku confirming that Gankaku can exercise its rights to have shares issued to settle the outstanding debt but that once the shares are issued the obligations of the Company have been met and the Company does not have to make its assets available for collection as the debt would have been settled with the issuance of the shares. Resolution of this matter is pending acceptance of the shares by Gankaku and related settlement or in litigation. As of April 11, 2020, the parties have not engaged in extensive discovery, but the Plaintiff filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on November 22, 2019 and the Company filed its opposition brief on December 4, 2019. The Court has not yet issued a ruling on the motion and no trial date has been set.

On November 20, 2019, a Complaint was filed with the Superior Court-Judicial District of New Haven by a former employee, naming the Company as Defendant. The Complaint claims that the Company owes the former employee back wages of $60,000 and unpaid expenses of $20,000, which were due to be paid to the former employee upon his termination from the Company on November 1, 2019, in accordance with an employment agreement dated November 18, 2018. The Company has responded that the employee was terminated for cause and, as such, no longer obligated under the terms of the employment agreement. As of April 11, 2020, the parties have not engaged in extensive discovery or and substantial motion practice and no trial date has been set. In addition to the back wages of $60,000, severance of $45,000, unpaid expenses of $20,000, and, the Company has recorded legal expenses of $15,000 during the nine months ended February 29, 2020, as a result of receiving the Complaint.
On July 15, 2020, RedStart Holdings, (“Redstart”),the holder of two convertible notes of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company in Supreme Court, Nassau County, New York. The Complaint sets forth six causes of action and seeks relief consisting of (1) money damages in the amounts (i) of the greater of $111,800.00 and the “parity value”, as defined in the Notes and $2,000.00 per day until the issuance of the Company common stock (calculated in accord with the terms set forth in the Notes and corresponding Agreements) and (ii) $55,900.00 arising from the original unpaid balance of the Notes, (2) liquidated damages arising from the lost profits that would have been realized if the Company common stock was provided to Redstart in an amount to be calculated, (3) reasonable legal fees and costs in an amount yet to be determined, (4) an order of specific performance, and (5) injunctive relief. All of the claims stem from the Company’s refusal to honor Redstart’s exercise notice in connection with a common stock conversion right that the Company had granted it under certain Convertible Promissory Notes and accompanying Securities Purchase Agreements. On July 21, 2020, Redstart obtained an order, temporarily restraining the Company’s new transfer agent from delivering any new shares of the Company to anyone other than Redstart. On August 7, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Vacate the TRO, granted by the Court on July 23, 2020. Therein, the Company asserted that the Notes are, in fact, loan agreement that each charged interest rates in excess of 25% and, therefore, the Notes should be deemed void under New York’s criminal usury laws. The Court scheduled a hearing on the Company’s Motion for August 17, 2020. Following arguments, the Court rendered its decision from the bench and ordered the Company to hold in reserve the shares of Life on Earth common stock that Redstart, allegedly, is entitled to, and that the Company will be required to file its opposition to Redstart’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction within Three (3) weeks. Accordingly, the Company will continue to vigorously defend itself in this action. Further, as of October 12, 2020, the Court has not yet rendered its decision.
