Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern

 

Organization

 

Freedom Leaf, Inc. (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 resale these in the U.S. territory or export to overseas countries.

 

On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard Cowan acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Mr. Cowan and Vladimir and Galina Shekhtman (“Sellers”). On the closing date, October 3, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93%.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf, Inc., a private Nevada corporation. The Company changed its name from Arkadia International, Inc., to Freedom Leaf, Inc. As a result of the merger, the private company was dissolved. See Note 3 for related discussion.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Share Exchange represents a "reverse merger" rather than a business combination and Private Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Private Company is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Public Company (Freedom Leaf, Inc., f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc.) is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of the Private Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Private Company, and the financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of the Public Company and the Private Company, and the historical operations of Private Company and operations of both companies from the closing date of the Share Exchange.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Freedom Leaf, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the interim period ended December 31, 2014 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 filed on August 8, 2014 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

  

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained net loss of $17,157 and cash provided by operating activities of $6,927 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The Company had negative working capital, stockholders’ equity and accumulated deficit of $2,250, $4,557 and $17,157, respectively, at December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from third parties to sustain its current level of operations. The Company is in the process of securing working capital from investors for common stock, convertible notes payable, and/or strategic partnerships. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 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 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.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern (Continued)

 

Development Stage Company

 

Since inception, the Company became a “development stage company” as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”. On June 10, 2014 the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity. The incremental reporting requirements for presenting the development stage operations and cash flows since inception will no longer apply to development stage entities. The amendments of Topic 915 are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has elected early adoption of this guidance effective with the filing of its previous quarterly report.

 

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 two primary revenue streams as follows:

 

  ·  Consulting services.
  ·  Advertising services.
  ·  Branding, marketing and selling products for companies.
  ·  Educational seminars.
  ·  Selling branded products.

 

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.

 

Segment Information

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company does not have any operating segments as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting pronouncements as issued. No new pronouncements had any material effect on these unaudited financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these unaudited financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these unaudited financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these unaudited financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these unaudited financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to September 30, 2014 through the date these unaudited financial statements were issued.

 

Note 2 – Intangible Assets

 

The Company has $3,223 recorded for various trademarks (Hemp Inspired®, Cannabizu®, and Cannabiz®) as of December 31, 2014.

 

Note 3 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On November 3, 2014, the Company increased it’s authorized to 500,000,000 shares of common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. All shares of common stock are non-assessable and non-cumulative, with no pre-emptive rights.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf, Inc., a private Nevada corporation (see Note 1). After the completion of the merger, there were 173,401,200 shares of common stock issued, issuable and outstanding.

Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any other pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

 

Note 5 – Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements

 

Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows

 

The Company restated its previously issued financial statements included in the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to reflect the effects of accounting and reporting errors resulting from a deficiency in its accounting and financial statement preparation process. This error and the related adjustments resulted in an understatement of net loss of $17,157 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and the understatements of $46,242 and $7,943 total assets and accumulated deficits, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The revisions applied to the affected individual line items in the consolidated financial statements are as stated below.

 

In connection with the subsequent review of the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014, certain errors associated with the Company’s recognition of the merger of Arkadia International, Inc. with Freedom Leaf, Inc., effective November 6, 2014, resulted in the Company’s financial statements to be restated. The error related to the exclusion of the financials of Freedom Leaf, Inc., the private company, into the presented financial statements as filed.

 

The following tables present the impact of the financial statement omission for the financials of Freedom Leaf, Inc., the private company, on the Company’s previously reported financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

 

A reconciliation of U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
U.S. statutory federal rate, graduated   34.0%    0.0% 
State income tax rate, net of Federal   3.6%    0.0% 
Permanent book-tax differences   0.0%    0.0% 
Net operating loss (NOL) for which no tax benefit was available   -37.6%    0.0% 
Net tax rate   0.0%    0.0% 

 

At December 31, 2014, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of approximately $17,000, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $17,000.  The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The net operating loss carry forwards expire through the year 2034.

 

The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets was no longer impaired and the allowance was no longer required.

 

Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carry forwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses. The tax years for 2013 through 2014 are still open for inspection by the individual taxing authorities.

 

Note 7 – Subsequent Events

 

On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with Vincent Moreno, for services from November 10, 2014 through April 10, 2015, for the 780,000 shares of common stock. The shares were issued on April 10, 2015.

 

On January 21, 2015, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the Company’s authorized common stock to 500,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our security holders and to the public.  This report, therefore, contains statements about future events and expectations which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  You can expect to identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” ”will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek” and other similar expressions.  Any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement.  Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved.

 

Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” section of and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

 

Company Overview

 

On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard Cowan acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Mr. Cowan and Vladimir and Galina Shekhtman (“Sellers”). On the closing date, October 3, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93%.

 

Prior to October 3, 2014, the Company was originally engaged in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars, and goods with the intent to resale these in the U.S. territory or export to overseas countries. On November 6, 2014, the Company changed its name, via merger in the state of Nevada, to Freedom Leaf Inc.

 

On November 4, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a twelve for one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As the Company is awaiting approval of the stock split from FINRA, the common share and per common share data in these financial statements and related notes hereto have not been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the stock split. The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

 

On November 6, 2014, Freedom Leaf, Inc., a private company, completed a reverser merger with Freedom Leaf, Inc. (f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc.).

 

On January 21, 2015, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the Company’s authorized common stock to 500,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are currently devoting substantially all of our efforts in migrating to the news, arts and entertainment niche, with both in print and online publications. Principal business activities are still in the development stage and have not yet commenced. The Company will generate revenue through paid advertising in publications, both print and online, in the cannabis/hemp marketplace. The Company will also earn revenue from consulting companies who are in our industry, contracting with companies to brand, market, and sell their products and/or services, provide seminars in this space, and sell branded products for the Company and others the Company represents. 

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Our revenue was $127,207 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Costs of revenues were $73,310 and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in revenues and the decrease in direct costs of revenues are attributable to the change in control of the Company and the related change in business direction.

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, our general and administrative expenses were $185,736 compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, resulting in an increase of $185,736. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, our marketing and selling expenses were $38,267, compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increases were both attributable to the change in control of the Company and the related change in business direction. As a result, net loss was $170,106 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to net income of $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

   

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Our revenue was $529,804 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Direct costs of revenues were $92,909 and $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The increase in revenues and direct costs of revenues are attributable to the change in control of the Company and the related change in business direction.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, our general and administrative expenses were $408,361, compared to $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2013, resulting in an increase of $408,361. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, our marketing and selling expenses were $45,691, compared to $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The increases were both attributable to the change in control of the Company and the related change in business direction. As a result, net loss was $17,157 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to net income of $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $12,918 in cash and no working capital. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur a minimum of $50,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2013

 

We had cash provided by operations of $6,927 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to cash provided by operations of $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The positive cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2014 is attributable to a related party of the Company providing $39,000 in working capital. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended December 31, 2013 is attributable to the Company's net income of $0.

 

We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

 

Going Concern

 

Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on August 8, 2014, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 5. Other Information

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Freedom Leaf, Inc., (f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc., the “Public Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Freedom Leaf, Inc. (the “Public Company”), a Nevada corporation. Prior to the reverse merger, Richard Cowan, an officer and director of the Company, post-merger, acquired 89,808,000, or 99.8% of the outstanding shares of Freedom Leaf, Inc., the public company. Clifford J. Perry, an individual, and the Private Company’s sole officer and director (“Perry”), was the owner of record of all of the outstanding common shares of the Private Company (the “Private Company Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, upon surrender by the Shareholders and the cancellation by the Private Company of the certificates evidencing the Private Company Stock as registered in the name of the Shareholder, and pursuant to the registration of the Public Company in the register of Shareholders maintained by Private Company as the new holder of the Public Company Stock and the issuance of the certificates evidencing the aforementioned registration of the Private Company Stock in the name of the Public Company, the Public Company will issue 83,401,200 shares (the “New Shares”) (subject to adjustment for fractionalized shares as set forth below) of the Company’s common stock to the Shareholders (or their designees), and Perry will cause 100% of the shares of the Private Company’s common stock that he owns (the “Perry Stock,” together with the New Shares, the “Acquisition Stock”) to be transferred to the Shareholders (or their designees), which collectively shall represent 48.1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Public Company immediately after the Closing, in exchange for the Private Company Stock, representing 100% of the issued share capital of the Private Company.  As a result of the exchange of the Private Company Stock for the Acquisition Stock (the “Share Exchange”), the Private Company will be dissolved.

 

The closing of the Exchange Agreement was conditioned upon certain, limited customary representations and warranties, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions to closing. As the parties satisfied all of the closing conditions, on November 6, 2014, we consummate the Share Exchange contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. As a result, the shareholders of Private Company own approximately 48.1% of our issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Prior to the execution and delivery of the Exchange Agreement, our board of directors approved the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby. Similarly, the board of directors of Private Company approved the Share Exchange. Reference is hereby made regarding the completion of the Share Exchange.

 

Following the Share Exchange, we have abandoned our prior business plan and we are now pursuing Private Company’s historical businesses and proposed businesses. Private Company is in the business of advertising in industry publications related to marijuana.

 

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Share Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.1 which is incorporated herein by reference.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Share Exchange represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination and Private Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Private Company is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Public Company (Freedom Leaf, Inc., f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc.) is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of the Private Company and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of the Private Company, and the financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of the Public Company and the Private Company, and the historical operations of Private Company and operations of both companies from the closing date of the Share Exchange.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The Merger and Related Transactions

 

As described in Item 1.01 above, on November 6, 2014, the Public Company and the Private Company closed the Share Exchange. The Private Company is in the business of advertising in publications, both print and online, in the cannabis marketplace.

 

Tax Treatment and Small Business

 

The Share Exchange is intended to constitute a tax free reorganization within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Following the Share Exchange, the Combined Company continues to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the SEC.

 

FORM 10 INFORMATION

 

Prior to the Share Exchange, we were a public reporting company with nominal operations. While we did not deem ourselves a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Exchange Act”), in light of the lack of operations prior to the Share Exchange and the resulting change in our business, we are voluntarily providing the information as is required pursuant to Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K, as if we were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act for our common stock, which is the only class of our securities subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act upon consummation of the Share Exchange.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Freedom Leaf, Inc., the private company, for the period from inception (June 2014) through November 6, 2014 (date of reverse merger) and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Freedom Leaf, Inc., the private company, and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as Freedom Leaf, Inc.’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Current Report on Form 10-Q. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

For a discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations prior to the Share Exchange, please refer to the information set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which information and financial statements are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Overview

 

Prior to the Share Exchange, we were a startup company that originally intended to engage in the business of the acquisition of in demand equipment, cars, and goods with the intent to resale these in the in the U.S. territory or export to overseas countries.

 

We have had limited operations and have been issued a “going concern” opinion by our auditor, based upon our reliance on the sale of our common stock as the sole source of funds for our future operations.

 

On November 6, 2014, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Freedom Leaf, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Private Company”), and the Company’s sole officer and director Clifford J. Perry (“Perry”), being the owners of record of all of the issued share capital of Freedom Leaf, Inc. (the “FL Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders received an aggregate of 83,401,200 shares (48.1%) our common stock (consisting of a new issuance of shares and Mr. Perry’s transfer of all of his shares) and we received the FL Stock. As a result of the exchange of the FL Stock for the Acquisition Stock (the “Share Exchange”), Freedom Leaf, Inc. became our Company whereas the operations of Arkadia International, Inc. ceased, and there was a change of control of the Company.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We are currently devoting substantially all of our efforts in migrating to the news, arts and entertainment niche, with both in print and online publications. Principal business activities are still in the development stage and have not yet commenced.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following summary of our results of operations for the period July 1, 2014 through November 6, 2014, the date of the reverse merger.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve same.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared and actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.  On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation our financial statements. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(1) A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

(3) Subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:

 

22 

 

 

 

(i) Acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;

Corporate Governance & Board Independence

 

Our Board of Directors consists of one director and has not established a Nominating or Governance Committees as standing committees. The Board does not have an executive committee or any committees performing a similar function. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent.

 

Due to our lack of operations and size, and since we are not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we are not subject to any listing requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees; all functions of a nominating/governance committee  were performed by our whole board of directors.  Our board of directors intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges as necessary. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees at the early stage of the company’s development, and our board of directors believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the members of our board of directors.

 

We believe that members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.

Board Leadership Structure and the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight.

 

The Board of Directors is led by the Chairman who is also the Chief Executive Officer. Although our sole officer is also our sole director, the Board believes that the most effective leadership structure at this time is not to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. A combined structure provides the Company with a single leader who represents the company to our stockholders, regulators, business partners and other stakeholders, among other reasons set forth below.

 

This structure creates efficiency in the preparation of the meeting agendas and related Board materials as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer works directly with those individuals preparing the necessary Board materials and is more connected to the overall daily operations of the Company. Agendas are also prepared with the permitted input of the full Board of Directors allowing for any concerns or risks of any individual director to be discussed as deemed appropriate. The Board believes that the Company has benefited from this structure, and Mr. Perry's continuation in the combined role of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the stockholders.

 

The Company believes that the combined structure is necessary and allows for efficient and effective oversight, given the Company’s relatively small size, its corporate strategy and focus.

 

The Board of Directors does not have a specific role in risk oversight of the Company. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and employees of the Company provide the Board of Directors with information regarding the Company’s risks.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

Information on any and all equity securities we have sold during the past fiscal year that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended is set forth below. All of the transactions listed below were made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for sales not involving a public offering, unless otherwise noted. The securities issued have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

As more fully described in Item 2.01 above, in connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued a total of 83,401,200 shares of our common stock to Clifford Perry. In addition, our chief executive officer transferred 10,096,229 shares of common stock that he owns to Freedom Leaf, Inc.’s shareholders. Reference is made to the disclosures set forth under Item 2.01 of this Form 8-K, which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the common stock to the Freedom Leaf, Inc.’s shareholders pursuant to the Exchange Agreement was exempt from registration in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Regulation S of the 1933 Act.

 

DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES

 

The following description is only a summary of certain significant provisions of the rights, preferences, qualifications and restrictions of the Company’s capital stock.

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

 

Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 90,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were outstanding and were held of record by minimal holders. Immediately following the Share Exchange, there were 173,401,200 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by 4 holders.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of the Company’s common stock:

 

1. Have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors;

 

2. Are entitled to share ratably in all of assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of corporate affairs;

 

3. Do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights; and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and

 

4. Are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

 

Holders of the Company’s common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.

 

The declaration of any cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements and our financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is: Globex Transfer, LLC, 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202, Deltona, FL 32725; Phone: (813) 344-4490; Fax: (386) 267-3124; website: www.globextransfer.com.

 

Acquisition of Controlling Interest

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing acquisition of a controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless certain criteria are satisfied. Our bylaws are silent on this, but we will not impose such provisions on any existing stockholders.

 

26 

 

 

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the indemnification of a present or former director or officer. We indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense on any action or suit. Such indemnification shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, expenses, including attorney’s fees actually or reasonably incurred by him. Nevada law also provides for discretionary indemnification for each person who serves as or at our request as an officer or director. We may (and in the case of an officer or director, shall) indemnify such individual against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought because such individual is a director or officer. Such individual must have conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, he must not have had a reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
