Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are based on our current expectations and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and are typically accompanied by words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “project”, “potential”, “continue”, “believe”, “expect”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might”, “plan”, “will”, “may”, “predict”, the negatives of such terms, and words and phrases of similar impact and include, but are not limited to references to expected increases in revenues and margins, expected capital raising activities, growth opportunities, the success of new product launches and line extensions, our ability to finance our business, potential strategic investments, business strategies, competitive strengths, goals, references to key markets where we operate and the market for our securities. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we make in light of our experience and our interpretation of current conditions, historical trends and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate in the circumstance.

Whether actual results and developments will agree with our expectations and predictions is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations and predictions. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

●

we have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future;

·	~~there is doubt about our ability~~
	●	we have an urgent need for additional capital to ~~continue as a going concern due to recurring losses from operations, an accumulated deficit and insufficient cash resources on hand to meet~~fund our business ~~objectives, all of which means that~~operations and if we ~~may not~~are unable to secure needed capital, there will be ~~able to continue operations;~~a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition;

·
	●	we could face intense competition, which could result in lower revenues and higher expenditures and could adversely affect our results of operations;

·
	●	we are governed by only three persons serving as directors and officers which may lead to faulty corporate governance;

·
	●	we must attract and maintain key personnel or our business may fail;

·
	●	we may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our future capital needs due to changes in our business and general economic conditions;

·
	●	our business and operating results could be harmed if we fail to manage our growth or change;

·
	●	we have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in growing our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations;

·
	●	if our intellectual property is not adequately protected, then we may not be able to compete effectively and we may not be profitable;

·
	●	if we are the subject of an intellectual property infringement claim, the cost of participating in any litigation could impact our ability to stay in business;

·
	●	we could lose our competitive advantages if we are not able to protect any of our food and nutritional products and intellectual property rights against infringement, and any related litigation could be time-consuming and costly;

●

if we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained;

~~if we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained;~~

●

our services may become obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to respond adequately to rapidly changing technology and customer demands;

·
	●	our failure to appropriately respond to changing consumer preferences and demand for new products or product enhancements could significantly harm product sales and harm our financial condition and operating results;

·
	●	if we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to adequately meet the changing needs of our customers, some of our products could fail in the marketplace, which could negatively impact our revenues, financial condition and operating results;

·
	●	we are affected by laws and governmental regulations with potential penalties or claims, which could harm our financial condition and operating results;

·
	●	since we rely on independent third parties for the manufacture and supply ~~of certain~~ of our products, if these third parties fail to reliably supply products to us at required levels of quality and which are manufactured in compliance with applicable laws, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed;

·
	●	we may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and harm our financial condition and operating results;

·
	●	unless we can generate sufficient cash from operations or raise additional funds in the near term, we may not be able to meet our debt ~~obligations;~~obligations or continue as a going concern;

·
	●	our customers generally are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us;

·
	●	if we do not manage our supply chain effectively, our operating results may be adversely affected;

·
	●	our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders;

·
	●	our common shares are thinly traded and our shareholders may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all;

●

the market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small and developing company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. Our shareholders may be unable to sell your common stock at or above their purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses;

·
	●	we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholdersand as a result shareholders may only realize a return when the shares are sold;

·
	●	we are listed on the OTCQB quotation system and our common stock is subject to “penny stock” rules which could negatively impact our liquidity and our shareholders’ ability to sell their shares;

·
	●	volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation;

·
	●	the elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees; ~~and~~

·
	●	our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of ~~noncompliance.~~noncompliance; and

	●	The recent coronavirus outbreak could have an adverse effect on our business.

		Concerns are rapidly growing about the global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The virus has spread rapidly across the globe, including the U.S. The pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on the U.S. economy as federal, state and local governments react to this public health crisis, which has created significant uncertainties. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our customers and supply chain.

		As the pandemic continues to grow, consumer fear about becoming ill with the virus and recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to avoid large gatherings of people or self-quarantine may continue. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak within the U.S., the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

Consequently all forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that our actual results or the developments we anticipate will be realized. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report.

Trident Brands Incorporated ~~(f/k/a Sandfield Ventures Corp.)~~ (“we”, “our”, “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 5, 2007. The Company was formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties.

The Company is now focused on the development of high growth branded and private label consumer products and ingredients within the nutritional supplement, life sciences and food and beverage categories. The Company is in its early growth stage and has transitioned out of its shell status with ~~the Super-8~~its Form 10 style 8-K filing at the end of August, 2014. Activities to date have focused on capital formation, organizational development and execution of its branded and private label consumer products and ingredients business plan.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim ~~consolidated~~ financial statements of ~~Trident Brands Incorporated~~the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited ~~consolidated~~ financial statements and notes thereto contained in ~~Trident’s~~the Company’s Form 10-K filed with SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited ~~consolidated~~ financial statements for fiscal ~~2016~~2019 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

~~Restricted Cash~~

~~Restricted cash~~Use of ~~$250,000 as~~Estimates

The preparation of ~~August 31, 2017 represents cash held~~financial statements in ~~a trust account.~~conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The ~~funds~~ultimate impact from COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial results during 2020 will depend on, among other things, the ultimate severity and scope of the pandemic, the pace at which governmental and private travel restrictions and public concerns about public gatherings will ease, the rate at which historically large increases in unemployment rates will decrease, if at all, and whether, and the speed with which the economy recovers. We are not able to fully quantify the impact that these factors will have ~~been set aside for~~on our financial results during 2020 and beyond, but expect developments related to COVID-19 to materially affect the ~~acquisition of StreamPak Ltd (see Note 9 regarding subsequent events) and to cover legal and other related costs.~~

Company��s financial performance in 2020.

Customer Concentration

The Company ~~has one~~had four major ~~customer~~customers that accounted for approximately ~~98% and $3,240,318~~59.3% of sales for the nine month period ended August 31, ~~2017~~2020 and ~~97%~~63.7% of the accounts ~~receivable.~~

receivable compared to four major customers that accounted for 79.2% of sales and 54.0% of the accounts receivable for the 12 month period ended November 30, 2019.

~~Reclassification~~Fair Value of Financial Instruments

~~Certain amounts~~

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and note payable. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value. As of August 31, 2020 the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, except for a derivative liability, related to the embedded conversion option on the “2016” and “2018” convertible notes, with a fair value as of August 31, 2020 of $30,421,358. The derivative liability was fair valued using Level 3 inputs.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of the derivative financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

Balance at November 30, 2019	$	5,825,480
APIC reclassified to derivative liability		3,981,220
Unrealized derivative loss included in other expense		20,614,658
Balance at August 31, 2020	$	30,421,358

During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, the embedded conversion option on the 2016 convertible notes qualified for derivative accounting. The beneficial conversion feature that was recorded to additional paid in capital (APIC) when the convertible notes were first issued amounting to $3,981,220 were reclassified to derivative liability when the conversion price on the notes were amended to a variable conversion rate (see Note 5). The fair value of the derivative liabilities are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following are the assumptions used for derivative instruments valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model as of August 31, 2020:

Market value of stock on measurement date	$	0.288
Risk-fee interest rate	0.16 to 0.18		%
Dividend yield		0	%
Volatility factor		143.24	%
Term	0.33 yr. and 1.25 yr.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and believe that there are none that will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been ~~reclassified to conform to the 2017 financial presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.~~

~~NOTE 3. LIQUIDITY~~

~~On September 26, 2016,~~prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

As of August 31, 2020, the Company had $82,658 in cash and a working capital deficit of $47,165,954. The Company also has generated losses and has an accumulated deficit as of August 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company completed ~~a long term~~additional long-term financing with athe non-US institutional investor, receiving proceeds of ~~$4,100,000~~$3,400,780 on November 30, 2018, $2,804,187 on April 13, 2019 and ~~subsequently $4,400,000~~$3,795,033 (less $936,168 withheld for interest payments up to and including June 30, 2020) on ~~May 9, 2017~~November 6, 2019 through the issuance of secured convertible promissory notes. On March 5, 2020, the 2018 Convertible Note was amended to increase the amount of the 3rd tranche by $936,168 representing the amount previously withheld as interest payment. The ~~investor has agreed~~payment was received on March 12, 2020. However, unless management is able to ~~make~~obtain additional ~~investments at~~financing, the ~~Company’s request~~Company may not be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of upthis uncertainty.

~~NOTE 7.~~ CONVERTIBLE ~~NOTE~~

DEBT

On January 29, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor whereby it agreed to sell an aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 of senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares of the company’s common stock.

The Company received $1,800,000 of the funds from the transaction on February 5, 2015. The balance of $500,000 was received on May 14, 2015.

These convertible notes were subsequently acquired by Fengate Trident, LP (“Fengate”) on April 28, 2017.

The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.71 per share, for an aggregate of up to 3,239,437 shares. The debentures originally accrued interest at 6% per annum. On September 26, 2016 the Company entered into an amendment agreement related to these convertible debentures whereby the applicable interest rate was increased from 6% to 8% and provisions added to allow the investor to transfer, sell or hypothecate the convertible notes subject to applicable securities laws. The maturity date of the notes was also extended through September 30, 2019.

~~Due to~~ We considered ASC Topic 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that the ~~note being convertible to common shares of the Company, a beneficial conversion feature analysis~~modification was ~~performed. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature was $647,888 which was recognized as debt discount. As of August 31, 2017, the full amount of the debt discount has been amortized.~~

not deemed substantial.

On September 26, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a non-US institutional investor, pursuant to which, in consideration for proceeds of $4,100,000, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $4,100,000. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the investor ~~has~~had agreed, from time to time after January 1, 2017, to make additional investments at the Company’s request of up to $5,900,000 ($10,000,000 in the aggregate) in one or more tranches of not less than one tranche during any 60 day period. ~~The funding of any tranche under the agreement (other than the first $4,100,000 which has been funded) is subject to the mutual agreement of the parties as to the use of funds.~~

On May 9, 2017, the Company received the second tranche of funding with proceeds of $4,400,000 and on May 16, 2018 the third tranche of $1,500,000 for a total investment by the investor of ~~$8,500,000. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company has an additional $1,500,000 of available funding.~~

$10,000,000.

The Company ~~intends to use~~used the proceeds of the secured convertible note for general working capital purposes including ~~without limitation,~~ settlement of accounts payable and repayment of mature loans.

In consideration of each advance made by the investor pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company ~~will issue~~issued to the investor a convertible promissory note of equal value, maturing ~~three years after issuance,~~on September 30, 2019, and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Each note ~~will be~~is secured in first priority against the present and after acquired assets of the Company and ~~will be~~is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.60 per share, for an aggregate of up to ~~14,166,667~~16,666,667 shares.

These convertible notes were subsequently acquired by Fengate on April 28, 2017.

Due to the notes being convertible to common shares of the Company, a beneficial conversion feature analysis was performed. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the notes amounted to ~~$2,833,334~~$3,333,334 and was recognized as a debt discount. As of August 31, ~~2017, $612,869~~2020, $3,333,334 of the debt discount was amortized to interest of which ~~$532,038~~$334,988 was amortized during the current 9nine month period ~~and $80,831~~compared to $689,409 for the nine month period in the prior year.

On November 30, 2018 the Company and Fengate entered into a Securities Purchase Amendment Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Fengate an additional convertible promissory note (the “2018 Convertible Note”) of up to $10,000,000, subject to certain terms and conditions. Each portion of the principal amount advanced pursuant to the 2018 Convertible Note will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and will be payable monthly in arrears to Fengate. Outstanding principal and interest will continue to be secured by the general security agreement dated September 26, 2016, which forms a part of the Agreement. The ~~unamortized~~holder of the note may also elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest into common shares of the Company at a 25% discount ~~is $2,220,465.~~

to the average closing price of the common shares during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date.

On November 30, 2018 the Company received the first tranche of funding with proceeds of $3,400,780. The 2nd tranche of $2,804,187 was received on April 13, 2019. The 3rd tranche of $3,795,033 less $936,168 withheld for interest payments up to and including June 30, 2020 was received on November 6, 2019. The withheld interest was recorded as debt discount. On March 5, 2020, the 2018 Convertible Note was amended to increase the amount of the 3rd tranche by $936,168 representing the amount previously withheld as interest payment. The withheld interest was subsequently received on March 12, 2020. As of August 31, 2020, $936,168 of the debt discount was reversed and the full amount was recorded as accrued interest. On January 9, 2020 the 2018 Convertible Notes were extended and will mature on December 1, 2021.

The Company analyzed the embedded conversion option on the convertible notes for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option ~~should~~on the 2018 Convertible Note qualified for derivative accounting. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to value the embedded conversion option at $892,000 on the issuance date of November 30, 2018, $1,911,256 on the issuance date of April 13, 2019 and $1,696,933 on the issuance date of November 6, 2019. The assumptions used were a discount rate of 2.80%, 1.96% and 1.96%; volatility rate of 79.57%, 104.70% and 107.3%; and a term of 1.50, 1.13 and 0.57 years respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to re-value the embedded conversion options at $15,302,213 as of August 31, 2020. The change of $9,476,733 during the nine month period ended August 31, 2020 was recorded as derivative loss expense. The assumptions used were a discount rate of 0.16%, volatility of 143.24% and a term of 1.25 year. The fair value of the embedded conversion options were recorded as debt discount and will be ~~classified~~amortized over the term of the 2018 Convertible Notes. The amortization recognized in the current nine month period was $1,279,018 compared to $1,092,318 for the nine month period in the prior year. The unamortized discount as ~~equity.~~

~~NOTE 8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS~~

2020 was $1,363,876.

On January ~~22, 2015,~~9, 2020 the Company and Fengate entered into an Amendment to Convertible Promissory Notes Agreement to amend the terms of certain convertible promissory notes issued pursuant to a ~~Deed of Assignment dated effective January 20, 2015,~~Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company ~~entered into an Emulsion Supply~~and the Purchaser dated September 26, 2016 and previously amended on November 30, 2018 and March 11, 2019. The Amendment affects the convertible notes issued February 5, 2015 (US$1,800,000), May 14, 2015 (US$500,000), September 26, 2016 (US$4,100,000), May 9, 2017 (US$4,400,000) and May 16, 2018 (US$1,500,000), respectively (collectively the “2016 Notes”). Pursuant to the Amendment, Fengate has agreed to convert all of the 2016 Notes on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date of the 2016 Convertible Notes and (ii) the Company raising new equity investment of not less than US$2,000,000, on terms mutually acceptable to Fengate and the Company (subject to Fengate’s regulatory considerations). Conversion of the 2016 Notes will occur in a single conversion transaction at a price that is equal to a 25% discount to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date, with the exact structure of the conversion to be determined by the parties. On June 3, 2020 the maturity date of the 2016 Notes was extended from May 31 to December 31, 2020 effective May 31, 2020.

The Amendment of January 9, 2020 also amends the outstanding 2018 Convertible Note issued to Fengate on November 30, 2018 (US$3,400,780), April 13, 2019 (US$2,804,187) and November 6, 2019 (US$3,795,033). Maturity of the 2018 Convertible Note has been deferred to December 1, 2021.

The Company analyzed the embedded conversion option on the amended “2016 Notes” for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option qualified for derivative accounting. On January 9, 2020 the Company used the Black-Scholes model to value the embedded conversion options at $7,965,083. The assumptions used were a discount rate of 1.96%, volatility rate of 148.8%; and a term of 0.39 years respectively. The modification resulted in $3,981,220 of APIC previously recorded for beneficial conversion feature of these convertible notes being reclassified as derivative liability, and $3,983,863 was recorded as derivative loss expense. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to re-value the embedded conversion options at $15,119,145 as of August 31, 2020. The change of $7,154,062 during the nine month period ended August 31, 2020 was recorded as derivative loss expense. The assumptions used were a discount rate of 0.18%, volatility of 143.24% and a term of 0.33 year.

NOTE 6. PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM (PPP) LOAN

On May 28, 2020, the company obtained a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan in the amount of $135,165. These business loans were established by the 2020 US Federal government Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to help certain businesses, self-employed workers, sole proprietors, certain nonprofit organizations, and tribal businesses continue paying their workers.

The CARES Act was established in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to qualifying businesses for up to 2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the CARES Act and used for payroll costs, rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs during the 24 week period after the date of loan disbursement is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) we use the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used to cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. While the full loan amount may be forgiven, the amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, we do not maintain staffing or payroll levels or less than 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll costs. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds will be deferred to the date the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness period for six months and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the CARES Act Loan.

NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES

On January 11, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against Everlast World’s Boxing Headquarters Corp. (“Everlast”) in the New York Supreme Court in New York County, New York. This action involved the Company seeking a declaration that it was entitled to terminate a License Agreement ~~with Oceans Omega LLC which represents~~between the ~~rights acquired~~parties pursuant to ~~the Deed of Assignment. The Emulsion Supply Agreement provides the Company with the non-exclusive right and license (without~~which Trident had the right to ~~sublicense)~~market certain Everlast-branded products. Everlast subsequently removed that case to ~~purchase, market, promote, sell~~the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

On January 17, 2019, Everlast filed a counter civil lawsuit against the Company and ~~distribute Oceans Omega LLC’s omega-3 emulsions for use~~other defendants in the ~~development, production, processing, manufacture~~U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Revenues and Gross ~~Profit~~

~~Revenue increased substantially~~Profits

Sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 decreased to $679,031 versus $1,737,264 in the prior period. In addition to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on third fiscal quarter revenue, the decrease was the result of a commercial shift away from high-volume private label product sales to high-margin branded product sales in the period. Gross profit decreased to $261,546 versus $600,791, with margin improvement in the period to 38.5% of revenues versus 34.6% of revenues in the prior period. Subject to receipt of additional funding which will be used in part for further sales and marketing initiatives, Management expects revenue and profit contribution improvement as commercial efforts continue to gain traction and market conditions normalize. COVID-19 has thus far adversely affected our revenues and our ability to raise additional capital, so there is no assurance we will be able to grow our business or raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms or at all.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the nine month period ended August 31, 2017 to $3,305,644 versus $241,053 in the prior year. This growth is attributed to a significant contract manufacturing supply agreement with a major retailer, coupled with increased direct sales of Brain Armor® products to professional sports teams and collegiate programs. This translated into a corresponding increase in Gross Profit to $173,378 or 5.2% of revenues versus $105,689 or 43.8% of revenues in the prior year. Management continues to direct operational support and focus toward markets, distribution channels and customers that represent sustainable commercial value. As such, we expect further revenue and profit growth in the remainder of 2017 and 2018. This outlook is supported by expanded retail customer supply agreements and new item listings coupled with further product innovation scheduled for introduction in Q4 2017 and Q1 2018.

Strategic Orientation

Our objective is to provide our shareholders with solid returns through strategic investments across multiple consumer product and ~~food~~ ingredient platforms. The platforms we are focusing on include:

●

Life science technologies and related products that have applications to a range of consumer products;

●

Nutritional supplements and related consumer goods providing defined benefits to the consumer; and

●

Functional foods and beverages ingredients with defined health and wellness benefits.

We are building our business through strategic investments in high growth early stage consumer brands and functional ~~ingredients~~ingredient platforms within segment/sectors which we believe offer ~~long term growth~~sustainable commercial potential. We are focused on three core strategies underpinning our objectives:

●

To execute ~~our~~a multi-tier brand, supply-chain and innovation strategy to drive revenue;

●

To aggressively manage ~~our~~an asset light business model to drive aour low cost platform; and

●

To drive disciplines leading to increased investor awareness and ability to finance and govern growing operations.

While we have yet to ~~realize break even cash flows or~~achieve profitability, we believe we are making significant progress against our ~~goals~~commercial objectives. Subject to receipt of additional funding, which will be used in part for further sales and ~~objectives,~~marketing initiatives, we expect revenue and ~~expect revenues and margins~~margin to increase as we ~~begin commercializing the products~~continue to strengthen distribution partnerships while capitalizing on product innovation, supply-chain optimization and brand equity within our current portfolio. ~~All three of~~COVID-19 has thus far adversely affected our ~~product platforms show solid potential in the markets where they compete~~revenues and ~~both~~ability to raise additional capital, so there is no assurance we will be able to grow our ~~Everlast® and~~ ~~Brain Armor~~® product lines are now in the market and generating revenues.

Brain ~~Armor® has now been listed~~business or raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms or at a large retail account as well, and we expect listings for Everlast® to follow. The development of Oceans Omega as an ingredient for food and beverage products is ongoing, and given the longer sales cycle for ingredients, we expect to realize revenues later in fiscal 2017 both through external customer product development and also internally via potential line extensions for both the E~~verlast® and~~ ~~Brain Armor® product lines.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Our cash balance at August 31, 2017 was $4,380,378. Management believes the current funds available to~~

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will ~~be sufficient~~continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to ~~fund our operations for~~continue as a going concern within one year after the ~~next twelve months.~~

~~On January 29, 2015, we entered into~~date that the financial statements are issued.

As of August 31, 2020, the Company had $82,658 in cash and a ~~securities purchase agreement~~working capital deficit of $47,165,954. The Company also has generated losses and has an accumulated deficit of $61,174,666 as of August 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company completed additional long term financing with a non-US institutional investor, ~~whereby~~receiving proceeds of $3,400,780 on November 30, 2018, $2,804,187 on April 13, 2019 and $3,795,033 on November 6, 2019. However, unless management is able to obtain additional financing, the Company may not be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On May 28, 2020, we ~~agreed to sell an aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 of senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares~~obtained a $135,165 unsecured loan payable through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was enacted as part of the ~~company’s common stock. We~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES ACT”). The funds were received ~~$1,800,000~~from Bank of America through a loan agreement pursuant to the ~~funds from~~CARES Act. The CARES Act was established in order to enable small businesses to pay employees during the transaction on February 5, 2015 and the balance of $500,000 on May 14, 2015. On September 26, 2016, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note Amendment Agreement with this investor whereby we agreedeconomic slowdown caused by COVID-19 by providing forgivable loans to extend the maturity date and amend the interest payable on the senior secured convertible debentures, whereby we extended the term of the notes through September 30, 2019 and interest rate was increased from 6% per annum to 8% per annum. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.71 per sharequalifying businesses for ~~an aggregate of~~ up to ~~3,239,437 shares.~~

~~On September 26, 2016,~~2.5 times their average monthly payroll costs. The amount borrowed under the CARES Act and used for payroll costs, rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs during the 24 week period after the date of loan disbursement is eligible to be forgiven provided that (a) we ~~entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a non-US institutional investor pursuant~~use the PPP Funds during the eight week period after receipt thereof, and (b) the PPP Funds are only used to ~~which, in consideration for proceeds of $4,100,000, we issued a secured convertible promissory note in~~cover payroll costs (including benefits), rent, mortgage interest, and utility costs. While the full loan amount may be forgiven, the amount of ~~$4,100,000. Pursuant~~loan forgiveness will be reduced if, among other reasons, we do not maintain staffing or payroll levels or less than 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll costs. Principal and interest payments on any unforgiven portion of the PPP Funds (the “PPP Loan”) will be deferred to the ~~Securities Purchase Agreement,~~date the ~~investor has agreed, from time to time after January 1, 2017, to make additional investments at our request of up to $5,900,000 ($10,000,000 in~~SBA remits the aggregate) in one or more tranches of not less than one tranche during any 60 day period. The funding of any tranche under the agreement (other than the first $4,100,000 which has been funded) is subjectborrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the ~~mutual agreement~~lender or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the ~~parties as to~~borrower’s loan forgiveness period for six months and will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.0% and carry a two year maturity date. There is no prepayment penalty on the use of funds. The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to pre-approve use of funds within 120 days following September 26, 2016. On May 9, 2017, the Company received the second tranche of funding with proceeds of $4,400,000 for a total investment by the investor of $8,500,000. Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company hasCARES Act Loan.

We are currently experiencing an ~~additional $1,500,000 of available funding~~. ~~We intend to use the proceeds of the secured convertible note for general~~increasing working capital purposes including, without limitation, settlement of accounts payable and repayment of mature loans. In consideration of each advance made by the investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we will issue to the investor a convertible promissory note of equal value, maturing three years after issuance, and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Each note will be secured in first priority against the present and after acquired assets of the Company, and will be convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company at a conversion price per share of $0.60, equal to a 25% discount to the 10 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the period immediately preceding the issuance of the applicable note. Due to the notes being convertible to the Company common shares, a beneficial conversion feature analysis was performed. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature was $1,366,667 and $1,466,667 respectively and which was recognized as debt discount.deficiency. As of August 31, ~~2017, $612,869~~2020, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $47.2 million, compared to a deficit of approximately $18.3 million as of November 30, 2019. The approximate $28.9 million increase in our working capital deficit was due primarily to (all amounts approximate) a $931,000 decrease in cash, a $2.6 million increase in accrued liabilities, a $335,000 increase in convertible debt ~~discount was amortized~~and a $24.6 million increase in derivative liability.

Currently, we anticipate that our baseline operating activities will use approximately $300,000 in cash per month over the next twelve months, or approximately $3.6 million. However, based on our current business plan, subject to completion of a planned capital raise, we intend to expend at least an additional $400,000 per month ($4.8 million annually) on an expansion of our sales and marketing initiatives. Currently we have limited cash on hand, and consequently, we are unable to fully implement our current business plan. Accordingly, we have an immediate need for additional capital to fund our operating activities. COVID-19 has thus far adversely affected our revenues and our ability to raise additional capital, so there is no assurance we will be able to grow our business or raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms or at all.

In order to remedy this liquidity deficiency, we are actively seeking to raise additional funds through the sale of equity and debt securities, and ultimately, we will need to generate substantial positive operating cash flows. Our internal sources of funds will consist of cash flows from operations, but not until we begin to realize additional revenues from the sale of our products and services. As previously stated, our operations are generating negative cash flows, and thus adversely affecting our liquidity. If we are able to secure sufficient funding in the near term to fully implement our business plan, we expect that our operations could begin to generate significant cash flows during the middle of 2021, which should ameliorate our liquidity deficiency. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the near term, we will not be able to implement our business plan, in which case there would be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In the event we do not generate sufficient funds from revenues or financing through the issuance of common stock or from debt financing, we will be unable to fully implement our business plan and pay our obligations as they become due, any of which ~~$532,038~~circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should we be unable to recover the value of our assets or satisfy our liabilities.

Based on our limited availability of funds we expect to spend minimal amounts on product development, sales and marketing and capital expenditures. We expect to fund any future product development expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations and proceeds from equity and/or debt financing. If we are unable to generate positive cash flows from operations, and/or raise additional funds (either through debt or equity), we will be unable to fund our product development expenditures, in which case, there could be an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The approximate $3.6 million decrease in cash used by operating activities was due primarily to an increase in non-cash derivative loss of $19.3 million and a $2.6 million change in operating assets and liabilities (primarily accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.1 million and inventory of $700,000), partially offset by an $18 million increase in net loss.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related revenues and expenses, and disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions made require us to exercise our judgment and are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate the information that forms the basis of our estimates and assumptions as our business and the business environment generally changes. The use of estimates is pervasive throughout our financial statements. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, of the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management identified the following material weaknesses:

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

Lack of Audit Committee Financial Expert & Outside Directors on the Company’s Board of Directors: We do not have a financial expert on our audit committee or a fully independent Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ~~last~~ fiscal quarter ended August 31, ~~2017~~2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On January 17, 2019, Everlast filed a counter civil lawsuit against the Company and other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. In that lawsuit, Everlast seeks payment from the defendants under a License Agreement dated June 4, 2013, for $425,555 in unpaid royalties allegedly due and owing under the License Agreement and interest on the allegedly unpaid royalties of $96,265, which interest allegedly continues to accrue. Everlast has also sought all costs, expenses, and legal fees incurred by Everlast in collecting monies that it claims are due under the License Agreement. On February 26, 2020, the court in the Everlast matter issued an Opinion and Order granting a motion to dismiss all of Trident’s claims against Everlast and granting a motion for judgment on the pleadings as to liability against Trident. The Court left open the question of damages to be awarded to Everlast. The Company and Everlast have participated in settlement discussions before a magistrate judge, but no settlement has been reached. Everlast has filed a motion for summary judgment for damages in the amount of $741,998, including damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees. On October 15, 2020, the Court adjudged and decreed Everlast have judgment and recover the following sums from the Company:

1. $425,000 representing royalty payments due to Plaintiff;

2. Interest on royalty payments computed to October 15, 2020, in the sum of $242,919;

3. Costs in the sum of $800; and

4. Attorneys’ fees in the sum of $70,226; making in total the sum of $738,946 payable by the Company to Everlast.

The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case. The Company has 30 days from the date of judgement to appeal the case. Management will review the judgement and explore all its options. The Company has accrued $425,000 liability as of August 31, 2020.

On June 3, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against PIT Mycell, LLC, William E. Peterson III, New Age Ventures, LLC, Volker Berl, and Mycell Technologies, LLC (“Mycell”) in the Superior Court in Bergen County, New Jersey, Civil Action No. BER-L-004198-19, in which the Company seeks to require the defendants to perform under and allow the enforcement of certain notes made by Mycell and acquired by the Company in September 2017. The notes are past their stated maturity date of December 31, 2016. The Company also alleges that the parties had entered into a written Settlement Agreement Letter of Intent dated March 14, 2019 (the “Settlement”), but that the defendants repudiated it shortly thereafter. The notes had been the subject of an earlier lawsuit in Virginia in state court in Fairfax County between the Company and PIT Mycell, LLC that the Settlement was intended to resolve. The Company seeks to enforce the notes and the Settlement in the New Jersey lawsuit and requests actual damages in an amount to be proven at trial, attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, specific performance requiring certain defendants to enforce obligations under the notes against Mycell, specific performance requiring the defendants to execute a final Settlement Agreement consistent with the Settlement, an order permitting foreclosure on the collateral for the notes, and declaratory relief.
