| NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Basis of Presentation This summary of accounting policies for Gridiron is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for fair value calculations related to embedded conversion features of outstanding convertible notes payable. Cash For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company had $43,286 and $18,975 of cash as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments. Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is 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. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk. Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values. Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income. As discussed in Note 9 – Derivative Liability, Derivative Liabilities The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features on the convertible debt, are classified as derivative liabilities due to protection provisions within the agreements. Convertible notes payable are initially recorded at fair value using the Monte Carlo model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The preferred stock warrants are initially recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company accounts for derivative instruments and debt instruments in accordance with the interpretive guidance of ASC 815, ASU 2017-11, and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with conversion features. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Use of net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes may be limited by Internal Revenue Code section 382 if a change of ownership occurs. Principals of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements represent the results of Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary, Gridiron Ventures and the assets, processes, and results therefrom. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets and the modified accelerated cost recovery system for federal income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are: Estimated Useful Lives Computer and other equipment 3 years Vehicle 5 years The Company’s property and equipment consisted of the following as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019: February 29, 2020 August 31, 2019 Computer Equipment $ 2,467 $ 2,467 Vehicle 2,977 2,977 Other 3,587 3,587 Accumulated depreciation (3,752 ) (2,446 ) Net book value $ 5,279 $ 6,585 Depreciation expense was $653 and $254 for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1,307 and $610 for six months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, packing materials, bottled water and concentrates, capsules, gummy products, drops and other items and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first‑in, first‑out method. In addition, the Company has $150,000 prepaid industrial hemp (biomass) raw material in inventory at February 29, 2020. The biomass will be processed at a third party. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its inventory and reduces the carrying value of the inventory when items are determined to be obsolete, defective or in excess of forecasted sales requirements. Inventory write‑downs for excess, defective and obsolete inventory are recorded as a cost of revenue. The Company wrote-off $1,882 and $-0- of obsolete inventory for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $4,618 and $-0- for the six months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, during the three and six month ended February 29, 2020 the Company wrote-down $55,500 of its recently completed processing of T-free Distillate to fair market value. A summary of the Company’s inventory as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019 is as follows: Type February 29, 2020 August 31, 2019 Raw Materials $ 165,076 $ 19,477 T-free Distillate 117,000 - Packaging Materials 5,091 6,558 Gridiron Water & Concentrates 125,796 126,774 Capsules 31,838 32,044 Gummy Products and Other 16,965 18,710 Total Inventory $ 461,766 $ 203,563 Basic Income (Loss) Per Share Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The conversion of preferred shares, warrants and convertible debt to common shares could potentially bring the number of common shares to a total of approximately 258,454,000, which would exceed the authorized shares by approximately 58,454,000 shares. Due to existing restrictions limiting the holder of a convertible note to receive, upon conversion, shares of common stock which will not exceed 4.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock, there is no imminent requirement that the number of our authorized capital stock be increased. At an appropriate time, the Company envisions seeking shareholder approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized capitalization to some greater number of authorized shares, but the Company cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary shareholder approval. If the Company fails to obtain shareholder approval for the increase in authorized capitalization, the Company may be in default under the terms of the preferred conversion and warrants and convertible promissory notes payable. The preferred conversion and warrants would account for approximately 51,394,000 additional shares, the convertible debt would account for approximately 149,423,000 additional shares along with the 57,636,720 outstanding at February 29, 2020. The Company's convertible notes and warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019. Dividends As discussed in Note 7 – Stockholders Equity (Deficit), Advertising Costs The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs totaling $466 and $56,746 during the three months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1,837 and $56,746 during the six months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period. There was $-0- of stock-based compensation during the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 and 2019. Related Parties The registrant follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include (a) affiliates of the registrant; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the registrant; (e) management of the registrant; (f) other parties with which the registrant may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, ”Disclosure Update and Simplification,” In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, ”Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842 ,” ”Leases In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance.

The Company has adopted 2018-02 and determined there was no material impact on the financial statements. Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable balances are established for amounts owed to the Company from its customers from the sale of products. The Company closely monitors the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimated collections of outstanding amounts. The Company evaluated the accounts receivable and determined no collection loss reserve was necessary. There were $-0- outstanding accounts receivable as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019. Trademark During the period ended August 31, 2017, a related party incurred total costs of $2,800 to acquire five trademarks on behalf of the Company. Trademark costs are capitalized as incurred to the extent the Company expects the costs incurred to result in a trademark being awarded. The trademarks are deemed to have an indefinite life and are reviewed for impairment loss considerations annually. At August 31, 2019, two of the trademarks for $1,120 were deemed impaired and written off. As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, the Company had trademarks totaling $1,680. |
