NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, GOING CONCERN AND HISTORY
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
Historical Information
The Healing Company Inc. (formerly “Lake Forest Minerals) a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 23, 2008. The Company was originally formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties of merit.
Currently, the Company is an emerging health and wellness company that has identified the need for a change to healthcare, where conventional medicine and alternative healing can both be drawn on to provide a world of integrated healing encompassing conventional medicine and alternative medicine.
With the acquisition of NOEO GmbH (“NOEO”) on March 10, 2022, and the onboarding of a new management team, the Company commenced operations in the health and wellness sector.
On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into a loan purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) with CircleUp Credit Advisors LLC (“Circle Up”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from CircleUp all loans and loan accommodations (the “Loan” and the obligations thereunder the “Loan Obligations”) made by the CircleUp to Your Superfoods, Inc. and Your Super, Inc. (together, “Your Super Company”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as consideration for purchase of the Loan, the Company made a cash payment of $2,000 to the CircleUp and issued to CircleUp a warrant to purchase 1,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. This warrant began to vest on September 9, 2023 being the one-year anniversary of the closing of the purchase of the Loan with 12.5% of the Warrant amount (187,500 shares) vesting on that date and the remaining portion of the Warrant vesting in seven quarterly installments of 187,500 shares each over the next seven quarters. Vesting of the Warrant will be accelerated upon the occurrence of a sale or merger of the Company. The Warrant will terminate on September 9, 2029 being the seventh anniversary of the closing date and will be subject to customary adjustments of the warrant price and number of shares for splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
On March 3, 2023, the Company and Chopra HLCO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Chopra HLCO”) (collectively the “Buyer”) entered into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Chopra Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and solely with respect to certain specified indemnification provisions of the Purchase Agreement, Deepak Chopra, the majority member of the Seller, to acquire (the “Acquisition”) certain assets of the Seller (the “Purchased Assets”) and certain liabilities related to the Seller’s business activities involving Chopra Global Digital, Chopra Global Licensing and Chopra Global Products assets (these business activities are referred to herein as the “Chopra Business”). Following the closing of the acquisition, the Purchased Assets are held by, and the Chopra Business is operated through, Chopra HLCO.
The aggregate consideration paid and payable by the Buyer for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) consists of up to $5,000 in cash plus newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). $1,000 of the cash portion of the Purchase Price was paid to the Seller on March 3, 2023, along with the issuance to the Seller of One Million Four Hundred Thousand (1,400,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Closing Shares”). A deferred cash payment of $2,500 was paid to the Seller prior to March 31, 2023. In addition, the Seller may receive certain Earnout payments of up to $3,000 by way of cash and shares upon certain terms and conditions.
Basis of Presentation
The (a) unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023, and as of June 30, 2023 , which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 23, 2023.
All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
Going Concern
The Company had a working capital deficit of $7,090 on September 30, 2023. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into private placement subscription agreements to raise a total of $10,000 by the sale of seed preferred stock at $2.00 per share, of which the Company has collected $9,660 with $340 remaining to be collected. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued additional shares of common stock at $2.00 per share for total proceeds of $2,850, all of which has been collected to date.
The Company commenced operations in the wellness sector initially through the acquisition of NOEO and more recently with the acquisition of the Your Super and Chopra Business assets. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders (the “Lenders”) who agreed to extend a credit facility to the Company consisting of up to $150,000 in accordance with the terms of the agreement in aggregate principal amount of term loan commitments (the “Term Loans”)), the proceeds of which may be used to acquire assets that are deemed eligible by meeting certain criteria. To date, the Company has been funded $4,870 under the terms of this agreement to facilitate the purchase of operating assets. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to attain profitable operations from the Company’s existing and planned future business operations and sufficient financing to carry out those plans. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, or conduct revenue generating operations, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its existing and planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Healing Company and its 100% controlled subsidiaries, NOEO GmbH, NOEO, Inc., HLCO Borrower LLC, Your Super HLCO, LLC, and Chopra HLCO LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. “The Healing Company”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” is intended to mean The Healing Company, including the subsidiaries indicated above, unless otherwise indicated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying values of its assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the Company includes any revisions to its estimates in its results for the period in which the actual amounts become known. Significant estimates in the period include the preliminary purchase price allocation with respect to the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of the Chopra Business, the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables, inventory allowance and impairment, valuation and useful lives of fixed assets, valuation of common stock and stock warrants, stock option valuations, imputed interest on due to related parties, and deferred tax valuation allowance.
Income and Other Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), and in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the United States and Germany, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent they believe these assets will more-likely-than-not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Net Loss per Common Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The table below reflects the potentially dilutive securities at the end of each reporting period.
| | September 30, 2023 | | | June 30, 2023 | |
Seed Preferred stock (Convertible to Common stock 1:1) | | | 645,000 | | | | 2,620,000 | |
Seed Preferred warrants (Convertible to Common stock 1:1) | | | 1,560,148 | | | | 1,560,148 | |

Stock options | | | 3,091,250 | | | | 3,091,250 | |
Total | | | 6,946,398 | | | | 8,921,398 | |
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock option awards granted to employees, non-employees, and directors using the accounting guidance in ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate the fair value of service-based options and performance-based options on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes pricing model. We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards over the requisite or implied service period of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line method over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The Company also considers amounts in transit from payment processors for customer credit card and debit card transactions to be cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of cash held in checking accounts, and payment in transit from payment processors for customer credit card and debit card transactions. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents was $1,420 and $1,503, respectively.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses associated with this concentration of deposits.
The Company currently has bank deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. which exceed FDIC insurance limits. FDIC insurance provides protection for bank deposits up to $250, so there were cumulative uninsured balances of $1,170 and $1,253 in the parent and its US based subsidiaries as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. There were no uninsured bank deposits with a financial institution outside the U.S. All uninsured bank deposits are held at high quality credit institutions.
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as the reporting currency for its financial statements. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional currency of the Company’s Germany and Netherlands subsidiaries are the local currencies. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars using exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Exchange-rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Borrowings in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the time of the transaction and are adjusted for any exchange rate gains or losses as of the balance sheet date.
Translation of amounts from Euro into US$ have been made at the following exchange rates for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023:
| | September 30, 2023 | | | June 30, 2023 | |
Period-end Euro: US$ exchange rate | | $ | 1.0573 | | | $ | 1.0915 | |
Period-average Euro: US$ exchange rate | | $ | 1.0880 | | | $ | 1.0459 | |
Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. When management becomes aware of circumstances that may decrease the likelihood of collection to a point where a receivable is no longer probable of being collected, it records an allowance against amounts due, which reduces the receivable to the amount that management reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $104 and $110, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of raw materials, work-in-process (blended superfood powder) and finished goods. Finished goods and work-in-process include direct materials, finished product kits, finished products, third-party blender and other overhead costs involved in manufacturing for e-commerce sales. The Company values inventory using the standard costing method whereunder product costs are allocated based on standard rates for materials, labor, and overhead. The Company analyses actual costs at regular intervals and accounts for any variance in costs of goods sold. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in first-out method. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for excess, obsolete and unsaleable inventories. The allowance is an estimate based on our management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. The Company performs cycle counts of inventories at its warehouse and distribution center throughout the year. An allowance for inventory shrinkage is established for estimated inventory shrinkage since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, and depreciated over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. The useful lives of leasehold improvements are determined by the economic useful lives of the assets or the term of the leases, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation and amortization is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Property and Equipment | | Estimated Useful Life |
Computer and other equipment | | 3-7 years |
Office furniture and fixtures | | 5-7 years |
Leasehold improvements | | Shorter of lease or useful life |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired on October 13, 2022 and March 3, 2023, respectively. The Company has implemented the Business Combinations Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life, and is not amortized but is subject to, at a minimum, an annual impairment test.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment of goodwill of $3,869. There was no impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method requires the Company to determine the fair value of all acquired assets, including identifiable intangible assets and all assumed liabilities. The total cost of acquisitions is allocated to the underlying identifiable net assets, based on their respective estimated fair values. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and the utilization of independent valuation experts, and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates and asset lives, among other items.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets for impairment, other than goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. The Company had no long-lived asset impairments as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Contract Assets
In accordance with ASC 606-10-45-3, a contract asset is the Company’s right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Company will recognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment.
There were no contract assets at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.
Contract Liabilities
Deferred revenue, a contract liability, primarily consists of arrangement consideration collected in advance of order fulfillment and unsatisfied obligations related to outstanding loyalty points. The Company expects that the majority of the revenue deferrals recorded at the balance sheet date will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months as performance obligations are satisfied, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenue and deferred revenue. Ownership passes to customers upon shipment. Deferred revenue represents amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenues recognized, primarily from the billing of annual subscription agreements. Also included in contract liabilities is the value of loyalty points with respect to the Company’s loyalty program described below. The value of these contract liabilities will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognition of revenue as customers use their rewards points.
The Company offers a loyalty program to its customers which incorporates a points system for activities on the Company’s website, such as reviews, referrals, and purchases. Customers accumulate points based on their level of spending and type of participation. The points can be redeemed for purchases of goods offered at the Company’s websites. The Company defers the stand-alone selling price of earned reward points, net of rewards not expected to be redeemed (known as “breakage”), as liability for outstanding loyalty points. To estimate the stand-alone selling price for the points, the Company considers the stated redemption value per point dictated by the terms of the loyalty programs and then estimates the future breakage of reward points based on historical member activity. Upon redemption of points by customer, the Company recognizes revenue and reduces corresponding deferred revenue. The Company records breakage revenue of unredeemed points based on expected customer redemptions.
The Company’s total contract liability balance was $2,088 at September 30, 2023, of which $318 relates to the liability for outstanding loyalty points for Your Super and $1,770 relates to customer subscription deposits with respect to membership fees from the Chopra Meditation & Wellbeing app (“Chopra App”) which are collected in advance and amortized over the one (1) year term of the membership, advances on retreat packages and prepaid licensing fees.
The Company’s total contract liability balance was $2,343 at June 30, 2023, of which $212 related to the liability for outstanding loyalty points for Your Super and $1,345 related to customer subscription deposits with respect to membership fees from the Chopra App.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contracts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contracts receivable recourse, deferred revenue, debt and a capital lease obligation. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value.
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs;
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.
The Company believes that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximate fair value based on either their short-term nature or on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which includes the following five steps:
| i. | Identification of the contract with a customer. |
| ii. | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract. |
| iii. | Determination of the transaction price. |
| iv. | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. |
| v. | Recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
When a customer purchases a product from the Company, ownership of the product transfers to them at the point of shipment and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the product sold at that time. Accordingly, the customer has control of the product purchased from the Company starting at the point of shipment. The risk of loss or damage during shipment resides exclusively with the shipping carrier and the Company assumes no obligation for loss or damage of product while in transit to the customer. As a result of this change in terms of sale, the Company recognizes revenue, including shipping revenue, when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers, which is at the point of shipment. Sales are recorded net of returns, discounts, and any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.
The Company generates revenues from a diversified mix of e-commerce activities with the majority of revenue earned through e-commerce direct sales to consumer. The Company’s e-commerce activities include the sale of organic nutritional superfood powder mixes online, through the Company’s website YourSuper.com, and sales of the Chopra wellbeing line available at Chopra.com. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s direct to consumer sales of products accounted for 60% of total revenue.
In addition, the Company records revenue from the sale of memberships to the Chopra App. Revenues from the membership are collected in advance and recognized over the term of the membership. Finally, the Company records net revenue in the form of commissions with respect to sales of attendance at its wellness retreats at various US based locations. Revenue for wellness retreats is deferred upon purchase and recognized at the time of the event with the transfer of services to the customer.
The Company records revenues from the sales on a “gross” basis pursuant to ASC 606-10 Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the end customer and have the risks and rewards as principal in the transaction, such as responsibility for fulfillment, retaining the risk for collection, and establishing the price of the products. If these indicators have not been met, or if indicators of net revenue reporting specified in ASC 606-10 are present in the arrangement, revenue is recognized net of related direct costs.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs associated with the purchase of superfood products and materials and packaging for its Chopra wellness kits from third-party manufacturers. These costs include ingredients, packaging, third party manufacturing costs and freight-in shipping.
Product Warranties
The Company’s provision for estimated future warranty costs is based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. Based upon historical sales trends and warranties, it has been concluded that no warranty liability is required as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. To date, product allowance and returns have been minimal and, based on experience, the Company believes that product returns will continue to be minimal.
Shipping and Logistics Expenses
Shipping and logistics expenses consist primarily of costs incurred to ship products to the customer. If shipping and handling activities are performed after the customer obtains control of the good, then an entity may elect to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities and not promised services that require further evaluation under ASC 606. If the entity elects this accounting policy, the costs related to the shipping and handling activities should be accrued when the entity recognizes revenue for the related promised goods. In addition, if this accounting policy is elected, the entity must apply it consistently to similar transactions and provide the accounting policy disclosures required by ASC 235.
The Company has elected to record shipping and handling activities performed after the customer obtains control of the product as fulfillment costs. These expenses are presented as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Business Segments
The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has three operating segments: Ecommerce sales of wellness products, sales of memberships to the Chopra App and operation of its wellness focused retreats.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company accounts for contingencies in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition – Assets of Chopra Global, LLC
On March 3, 2023, the Company and Chopra HLCO LLC, entered into and consummated the Purchase Agreement with the Seller, and solely with respect to certain specified indemnification provisions of the Purchase Agreement, Deepak Chopra, to acquire the Purchased Assets and certain liabilities related to the Seller’s business activities involving the Chopra Business. Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Purchased Assets are held by, and the Chopra Business is operated through, Chopra HLCO.
The aggregate consideration paid and payable by the Buyer for the Purchased Assets is the Purchase Price of up to $5,000 in cash plus newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In total, the initial cash purchase amount consists of $3,500 in cash, of which the Company has $2,500 as of March 31, 2023 and $1,000 in April 2023, and issued 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered, restricted common stock issued. Additionally, up to three earnout payments of $1,000 in value each (the “Earnout Payments”) may be paid to the Seller, subject to and payable in accordance with earnout thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement. Each of these Earnout Payments will be comprised of fifty percent (50%) in cash and fifty percent (50%) in shares of the Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Payments will be earned (i) for the period starting March 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2023 if net revenue of the Chopra Business (then operated by the Buyer) exceeds $5,900; (ii) for the calendar year ending December 31, 2024 if such net revenue exceeds $11,000; and (iii) for the calendar year ending December 31, 2025 if such net revenue exceeds $15,000. The Earnout Shares will be valued at the market price at the time of issuance based on the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock prior to the last day of the applicable measurement year. If the Company is taken private or undergoes a Change of Control (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), any subsequent Earnout Payment will be paid 100% in cash. The Closing Shares are restricted securities and do not carry any registration rights that require the filing of any registration statement in connection with their issuance. In accordance with the terms of a lock up/leak out agreement between the Company and Chopra Global effective as of the closing of the Acquisition (the “Lock Up/Leak Out Agreement”), the Closing Shares are subject to a three-year lock-up (unless released earlier as described below) from the date of the closing (the “Lock Up”) and thereafter may be released in four equal quarterly installments beginning on the first day of the fiscal quarter beginning after the third anniversary of the Closing and on the first day of each of the next three fiscal quarters (the “Leak Out”) subject to a restricted volume of no more than three percent (3%) of the volume-weighted average trading of the Common Stock over the previous five trading days. The Closing Shares will be released from the Lock Up, but not from the Leak Out, upon (a) the closing of an underwritten, firm commitment public offering of at least $30,000 of the Common Stock, (b) a Change of Control or (c) the Company’s termination of reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

NOTE 9. LOAN PAYABLE
On August 4, 2022, the Company and its controlled subsidiary HLCO Borrower LLC entered into a credit facility agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the Lenders who agreed to extend a credit facility to the Company consisting of up to $150,000 in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, the proceeds of which may be used to acquire assets that are deemed eligible by meeting certain criteria established by an administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) under the Credit Agreement.
Term Loans anticipated to be funded under the Credit Agreement will be in a minimum principal amount of at least $400, bear an annual interest rate of 12% and will mature the earlier of 12 months following the final draw down under a Term Loan and a date on which an event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, occurs. Term Loans will be repayable in full on their maturity dates and may be voluntarily prepaid in full (but not in part) at the option of the Company and prepaid on a mandatory basis on the sale of the assets underlying a particular Term Loan. Interest on any outstanding Term Loans will be paid monthly. The Company paid an upfront fee of $563 recorded as finance costs to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and will pay the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a quarterly fee of $13. Further, the Company is paying a daily rate to the Lenders in respect of undrawn funds to meet a minimum funding threshold until such time as funds drawn total $50,000.
The Company and each of the subsidiaries of HLCO Borrower LLC have agreed to secure all of their future anticipated obligations under the Credit Agreement by granting the Lenders a first priority lien on substantially all of their assets and the Company has agreed to secure all future obligations to be incurred under the Credit Agreement by granting to a collateral agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a first priority lien on all of the capital stock of the subsidiaries held by the Company.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to the Administrative Agent a seven-year warrant to purchase, for its own account, up to 1,560,148 shares of the Company’s Seed Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrant was fully vested on issue date and was immediately expensed as financing costs (See Note 13 - Warrants).
On October 27, 2022, the Company was funded $3,000 under the Term Loan. As of September 30, 2023, the Company drew down an additional $1,873 under the Term Loan facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid $12,500 in administrative fees and $260 as interest in respect to the outstanding loan balance and daily interest on undrawn funds.
As of September 20, 2023, we were out of compliance for the month ended August 31, 2023 with a financial covenant in our credit agreement requiring us to maintain at least $2,000 in unrestricted and unencumbered cash. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, our monthly EBITDA for Your Super was less than $75 which, under our credit agreement, resulted in a borrowing base deficiency with respect to the Your Super acquisition. These two defaults entitled our lenders, upon notice to us, to take action to enforce their rights against us including, but not limited to, demanding immediate payment of their outstanding loans to us in the principal amount of $4,873, as of September 30, 2023, and enforcing their liens on our Your Super and Chopra operating assets.
On October 12, 2023, we entered into a limited waiver to the credit agreement with our lenders, waiving the two breaches referenced above provided that (i) we regain compliance with our cash covenant referenced above no later than, and remain compliant after, November 30, 2023, and (ii) we deposit $150 into a special reserve collection account on behalf of the secured lenders prior to the earlier to occur of (x) November 30, 2023 and (y) the closing of a sale of our equity in an amount of not less than $2,000. Our failure to comply with either of these two new covenants will constitute an event of default under the credit agreement entitling our secured lenders to pursue all rights and remedies against us under the credit agreement, including acceleration of our loans, foreclosure and collection actions.

General Overview
We are an emerging health and wellness company that has identified the need for a change to healthcare, where conventional medicine and alternative healing can both be drawn on to provide a world of integrated healing encompassing conventional medicine and alternative medicine.
Our intent is to build a community of integrated healing brands by identifying and acquiring early stage, high potential brands within selected health and wellness categories.

On March 3, 2023, we concluded the acquisition of certain assets of Chopra Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company including the Chopra App - a wellness and meditation app, certain products and services including guided meditation packages and detox kits and operation of select Chopra branded health and wellness retreats. In connection with this acquisition, we borrowed an additional $1,873 from our credit facility.

Revenue
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we generated revenues of $3,091 as compared to $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Cost of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,470 as compared to $0 in the prior comparative period. We reported gross profit of $1,621 at September 30, 2023 compared to $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in revenues period over period is related to our acquisition of the Your Super and Chopra wellness assets in October 2022 and March 2023.
Operating Loss
We reported operating expenses of $5,206 resulting in a loss from operations of $3,585 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to operating expenses of $6,676 resulting in a loss from operations of $6,676 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease to our current period loss is a result of revenue during the current period and a decrease in operational expenses of $1,470, primarily related to the decrease to professional and consulting fees of $2,748 related to the transaction in the prior year whereby we acquired operating assets in the wellness sector, including financing fees and associated costs, offset by an increase of $407 in general and administrative fees due to the increase to our workforce as a result of the acquisition of new operations. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 we incurred advertising and marketing expenses of $909, with no comparative expenses in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. These increased costs were a result of our expansion into the health and wellness sector.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded interest expenses of $220 compared to $604 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as well as a loss on foreign currency of $22 and other expense of $654, with no comparative loss or expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Reported in Thousands
The Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, reflects current assets of $6,846 consisting of $1,420 cash on hand, accounts receivable, net of $222, prepaid expenses of $1,292, inventory, net of $2,009, advances to vendors and other current assets of cumulative $1,903. We had a working capital deficit of $7,091 as of September 30, 2023 compared to $7,116 as of June 30, 2023, and have reported accumulated losses to date of $34,382. We have commenced revenue generating operations in the wellness sector; however, revenues are not yet sufficient to meet ongoing operational expenditures. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders who agreed to extend us a credit facility of up to $75,000 (which amount may be increased up to $150,000 in accordance with the terms of the agreement) in aggregate principal amount of term loan commitments, the proceeds of which may be used to acquire assets that are deemed eligible by meeting certain criteria. As of September 30, 2023, we borrowed $4,873 under the credit facility to assist in financing the acquisition of additional operating assets.
Going Concern
We had a working capital deficit of $7,100 as of September 30, 2023. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we entered into private placement subscription agreements to raise a total of $10,000 by the sale of seed preferred stock at $2 per share, of which we have collected $9,660. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued additional shares of common stock at $2.00 per share for total proceeds of $2,850, all of which has been collected to date.
We have commenced operations in the wellness sector initially through the acquisition of NOEO and more recently with the acquisitions of the Your Super and Chopra Business assets. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders who agreed to extend a credit facility to us consisting of up to $75,000 (which amount may be increased up to $150,000 in accordance with the terms of the agreement) in aggregate principal amount of term loan commitments), the proceeds of which may be used to acquire assets that are deemed eligible by meeting certain criteria. As of September 30, 2023, we have been funded $4,870 under the terms of this agreement in order to facilitate the purchase of operating assets. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to attain profitable operations from our future planned business operations and sufficient financing to carry out those plans. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital as needed, or conduct revenue generating operations, we may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2023, we were out of compliance for the month ended August 31, 2023 with a financial covenant in our credit agreement requiring us to maintain at least $2,000 in unrestricted and unencumbered cash. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, our monthly EBITDA for Your Super was less than $75,000 which, under our credit agreement, resulted in a borrowing base deficiency with respect to the Your Super acquisition. These two defaults entitled our lenders, upon notice to us, to take action to enforce their rights against us including, but not limited to, demanding immediate payment of their outstanding loans to us in the principal amount of $4,873, as of September 30, 2023, and enforcing their liens on our Your Super and Chopra operating assets.
On October 12, 2023, we entered into a limited waiver to the credit agreement with our lenders, waiving the two breaches referenced above provided that (i) we regain compliance with our cash covenant referenced above no later than, and remain compliant after, November 30, 2023, and (ii) we deposit $150 into a special reserve collection account on behalf of the secured lenders prior to the earlier to occur of (x) November 30, 2023 and (y) the closing of a sale of our equity in an amount of not less than $2,000. Our failure to comply with either of these two new covenants will constitute an event of default under the credit agreement entitling our secured lenders to pursue all rights and remedies against us under the credit agreement, including acceleration of our loans, foreclosure and collection actions.
Tax Lien
On August 30, 2023, the Washington State Department of Revenue issued a tax warrant to our indirectly owned subsidiary, Your Superfoods, Inc., for the collection of unpaid sales taxes in the amount of $7. The Company has engaged a sales tax expert to file all tax returns and rectify this issue. As of the date of filing of this quarterly report, the sales taxes due have not yet been paid and a letter to the Company stating that the lien has been lifted has not yet been issued.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introduction.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of September 30, 2023:
Our internal controls and procedures are not effective for the following reasons:
| (i) | there has been an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, |
| (ii) | the Company currently has no formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process, |
| (iii) | insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and |
| (iv) | the Company currently does not have an inventory tracking and valuation system in place. |
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
As of September 30, 2023, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have a material impact on our financial results. During the course of our evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, The Company plans to establish an Audit Committee to provide oversight of remediation efforts. Management intends to take steps to develop and enhance its internal controls over financial reporting in 2023, including:
| · | Management has improved segregation of duties by engaging an advisory firm to provide additional accounting and financial reporting support, and will continue to strengthen segregation of duties; |
| · | Engaging an advisory firm to lead the remediation and assessment of internal controls; |
| · | Developing formal policies and procedures over accounting and reporting; and |
| · | Identifying additional information technology to improve financial reporting. |
Our management plans to establish procedures to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing necessary enhancements or improvement as cash flow and working capital permits. Management expects to complete its assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
