Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 21, 2013, under the name of Arkadia International, Inc. The Company was originally engaged in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars, and goods with the intent to resell these in the U.S. territories or export to overseas countries. On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard C. Cowan acquired approximately 93% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at the time. On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf Inc., a private Nevada corporation, and the Company changed its name to Freedom Leaf Inc. In connection with the merger, the sole officer, director and stockholder of the private company, Clifford J. Perry, became an officer and director of the Company, and Mr. Perry received approximately 48.1% of the Company’s common stock post-merger. For financial reporting purposes, this merger was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" rather than a business combination, and the private company was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction, with the Company deemed to be the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that were reflected in the historical financial statements of the Company prior to the merger are those of the private company, and they were recorded at the historical cost basis of the private company, and the financial statements after completion of the merger include the combined assets and liabilities of the Company and the private company, the historical operations of the private company only, and the operations of both companies from the closing date of the merger. Freedom Leaf Inc. is a reporting public company traded under the symbol (OTCQB: FRLF) with corporate headquarters located at 3571 E. Sunset Road, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89120.

Nature of Operations Freedom Leaf Inc. is a group of diversified, multinational, vertically-integrated hemp businesses and cannabis media companies. Freedom Leaf has strived to be a leading go-to resource in the cannabis, medical marijuana, and industrial hemp industries since 2014, founded by professionals with Decades of combined experience in cannabis legalization advocacy. The Company is continuously building a diverse, global portfolio of valuable businesses and enterprises through strategic mergers, acquisitions, and acceleration projects across the hemp and cannabis industry. Utilizing these mergers and acquisitions, Freedom Leaf is building a solid foundation for our vertically-integrated hemp company to maximize both stockholder value and revenue growth. Our cultivation and extraction divisions allow FRLF to grow and source our own hemp extract, which allows dramatically lower production costs for our wholly-owned hemp product lines, thereby generating more revenue for each product sold. We also formulate and manufacture the majority of our products in our own in-house formulation centers, also greatly reducing our costs and increasing revenue. In addition, our extensive domestic and international media companies ensure we can continuously direct traffic to our many ecommerce sites and nationwide retail locations. For valuation purposes, the Company’s focus is on developing and implementing multiple, mutually-reinforcing revenue streams; through which revenue, net income and stockholder value are maximized by cross-marketing across its brands and advertising through its media properties. The Company’s major business lines are: ☐ Legal Industrial Hemp Cultivation ☐ Cannabidiol Extraction, Distillation, and Processing ☐ Expert Product Formulation ☐ Nutraceutical Brand Marketing ☐ Ancillary Products & Niche Markets ☐ Affiliate Marketing Programs ☐ E-Commerce Solutions ☐ Global Media & Advertising Networks Basis of Presentation The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Additionally, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on October 15, 2018. Principles of Consolidation The Company consolidates any variable interest entities of which it is the primary beneficiary. Equity investments through which the Company exercises significant influence over but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities are accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the amortization period for intangible assets, valuation and impairment valuation of intangible assets, depreciable lives of the web site and property and equipment, valuation of warrants and beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of derivatives, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. We follow accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue for our services in accordance with ASC 605-10, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized on transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement did exist, delivery of service has occurred, the sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has five primary revenue streams as follows: · Advertising Services – Revenue from advertising is recognized over the contracted period in which advertising services are performed. Advertising services are considered performed when an ad is displayed to users. · Product Sales – Revenue from the sale of the Company’s branded products is recognized in the period in which product is shipped. Sales billed or cash received in advance of actual shipment are deferred and recorded as income in the period in which shipment is made. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers is included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. All sales are presented net of sales taxes, which are excluded from revenue. · Licensing Revenue – Revenue from licensing arrangements is recognized when earned, estimable and realizable. The timing of revenue recognition is dependent on the terms of each license agreement and on the timing of sales of licensed products. The Company generally recognizes royalty revenue when it is reported to the Company by its licensees, which is generally one quarter in arrears from the licensees’ sales of licensed products. For licensing fees that are not determined by the licensees’ sales, the Company generally recognizes license fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share,” basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalent shares that may dilute future earnings per share consist of Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock. As of September 30, 2018, there were 94,830,801 such common stock equivalents. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive. Going Concern The Company has a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $1,111,766 and working capital deficit as of September 30, 2018 of $66,935 and has used cash in operations of $525,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, as of September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,643,599. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources to be used for operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary. |
