EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) of Freedom Leaf Inc. (the “Company”) is being filed pursuant to the Order under Section 15B, Section 17A and Section 36 of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder (the “Order”), dated September 28, 2017, of the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at https://www.sec.gov/rules/other/2017/34-81760.pdf), which extends the Company’s deadline to file this Annual Report. Pursuant to the Order, for companies affected by Hurricane Irma, all reports, schedules or forms must be filed on or before October 19, 2017.

 

The Company’s independent certifying accountant’s office is located in Tampa, Florida, and as a result of Hurricane Irma and its aftermath, was closed for about a week because it lost power and Internet access, which closure delayed the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements.  As a result, the Company was not able to file this Annual Report by October 13, 2017, and the Company is therefore relying on the Order.

Item 1. Business.

 

General Overview

 

Freedom Leaf Inc. (“Freedom Leaf” and 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 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% of the total issued and outstanding at that time.

 

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, the sole officer, director and shareholder 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 merger" 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 have been reflected in the historical financial statements of the Company prior to the merger are those of the private company, and were be 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.

 

We are currently devoting our efforts to the news, arts and entertainment niche, both in print and online publications, and to providing services to the cannabis/hemp industry. The Company generates revenue through paid advertising in publications, print and online, in the cannabis/hemp marketplace. The Company earns revenue from 1) providing consulting services to companies who are in our industry, 2) contracting with companies to brand, market, and sell their products and/or services, 3) providing seminars in this space, 4) selling branded products for the Company and others the Company represents, 5) selling licenses, both domestic and foreign, for the use of the Freedom Leaf brand that includes the Company’s products and services, and 6) pursuing mergers and/or acquisitions having instituted an accelerator that began working with one company starting during the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Our corporate headquarters are located at 3571 E. Sunset Road, Suite 420, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89120. The Company’s primary web site is www.freedomleaf.com. This web site is not incorporated in this Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

Freedom Leaf, The Marijuana Legalization Company, has now published and circulated hundreds of thousands of copies of our twenty-seven editions in thirty-eight states with the assistance of over 160 activist marketers. Freedom Leaf magazine, “The Good News in Marijuana Reform,” reports on arts, fashion, and lifestyle, all of the elements of the burgeoning cannabis movements. Freedom Leaf magazine provides activists, consumers, patients and entrepreneurs with a means to stay informed on the emerging industry's most cutting edge marijuana-related information, innovations and legislation. It is distributed nationally through chapters of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML.org), Students for a Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP.org), and WomenGrow.com, as well as through participating medical and recreational dispensaries, smoke and vape shops, doctors and attorneys’ offices, and others in the marijuana industry.

Freedom Leaf is also expanding its online presence. Freedom Leaf has an entire platform of content suited for every aspect of advertising and marketing to consumers from all businesses in the cannabis industry. These sites incorporate many aspects of the marijuana industry and movement. In May 2017, the Company acquired two Spanish domiciled websites: www.lamarihuana.com and www.marihuana-medicinal.com. This is another expansion of the Freedom Leaf Media Network. The www.lamarihuana.com website has 1.2 million Facebook likes and received in excess of 1 million visitors a month during the last six months, making this website one of the most popular Spanish speaking websites in the world. The content is automatically translated into the language of the country within which the viewer is residing.

 

The Industry

 

The following is a report on the industry, as published in ArcView Group’s State of Legal Marijuana Markets 5th Edition.

 

A Year Of Substantial Gains Across The Industry

 

The legal cannabis industry accelerated at a remarkable pace in 2016. North American consumers spent $6.7 billion on legal cannabis products, up 34% from 2015.

 

Cannabis is now legally sold in state-of-the-art retail dispensaries with computer-based inventory and sales tracking, fully regulated and taxed by their state governments just like any other product category. Entrepreneurs are modernizing the product just as quickly. Many successful brands have launched extracts, edibles, topicals, and other types of products that are leading consumers to spend more and, in cutting-edge Colorado, they have reduced traditional dried flowers to less than 56% of the business. More states passed laws to open new markets and expand existing ones in 2016 than in any previous year. These new markets will drive sustained revenue growth in the years ahead.

 

The legislatures of Pennsylvania and Ohio legalized medical cannabis in those major swing states, while voters in California, Maine, Nevada, and Massachusetts North Dakota, Florida, and Montana voters passed medical cannabis laws. The blistering 34% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2014 to 2016 was driven primarily by Colorado and Washington initiating adult-use sales. This rate of growth will subside somewhat in 2017 to 22%, as the eight states that voted to open or expand their cannabis markets on Election Day in November 2016 work to implement the new programs. But Arcview Market Research forecasts growth will reaccelerate beginning in 2018, as adult use sales ramp up in Canada, California, and Massachusetts along with medical sales in Florida. That will grow the $6.7-billion market of 2016 at a robust 27% CAGR to $22.6 billion in 2021.

 

 

 

 

 

 4 
 

 

Very few consumer industry categories reach $5 billion in annual spending and then post anything like 25% compound annual growth across the following five years. Cable television came close, growing 19% annually in the late 1980s as national networks like CNN and HBO proved to be wildly popular. Broadband internet subscription spending grew 29% per annum in the early 2000s as it became almost as much of a “must have” utility as electricity or television for the modern home. What became the ubiquitous home video business that birthed the great Blockbuster success story only grew at a 12% CAGR after reaching $5 billion in revenue in 1988.

 

 

 

That 20+% annual growth rate is likely to continue for many years past 2021 as more states and countries legalize cannabis. Arcview includes 30 states plus Canada with active legal markets by 2021 in its model, but in many of the largest markets, like New York and Florida, sales are expected to remain limited to medical-use. In the 2021-2026 period, however, many of these states will build robust legal adult-use markets, and all but a few states will make medical cannabis available legally.

 

It’s also likely that US federal prohibition will be repealed during that period, which would fuel explosive growth.

 

Canada and Mexico are included in Arcview’s North American market projections for the first time and analyzed throughout this 5th Edition of The State of Legal Marijuana Markets. The expected roll-out of Canada’s adult-use market is analyzed. The U.S. northern neighbor may be the world leader in moving toward a well-regulated legal cannabis industry. Countries around the world are already responding to the state-by-state dismantling of prohibition in America — the chief exporter of the “War on Drugs” for decades—by moving to allow medical use (as in Australia, Germany, and Colombia) or to outright legalization (as in Uruguay).

 

Robust growth through 2021 and beyond in the United States is predicted even if the US Justice Department opposes the cannabis industry. Chapter 2 provides a detailed analysis of why that kind of reversal in policy is unlikely, but a major one is the popularity of legal cannabis.

 

Polls show that 80% of Americans approve of legal access to medical cannabis and 60% approve of full adult use legalization. That level of agreement is rare on any policy issue and it’s allowing elected officials across the political spectrum to start to move past the stigma previously associated with this issue.

 

One key reason support for legalization is spreading so rapidly is that it is accomplishing a key goal: the illicit market is shrinking. The illicit market grew steadily throughout the last 40 years of the War on Drugs to what Arcview estimates was a North American total of $46.8 billion when adult-use sales first began in 2014 in Colorado and Washington. Illicit sales are now being rolled back at the fastest rates in those states with the most mature legal adult use markets (see graph, below). Most dramatically, what Arcview estimates was a $1-billion illicit market in Colorado is now less than $500 million, which represents just 27% of a $1.8-billion overall market.

Election Results

 

President Donald Trump said in 1991, “You have to legalize drugs to win that war.” He backed away from that position in his campaign for president but was remarkably consistent in his support for medical access to cannabis and his belief that cannabis policy should be up to the states. But once elected he appointed dedicated drug warrior Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Sessions remarked “Good people don’t smoke marijuana” at a 2015 Congressional hearing. Despite conflicting signals from the new administration, investors and entrepreneurs have many other reasons to be hopeful:

 

• The newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, took office in late 2015 and immediately started the formal process of legalizing adult use.

 

• In the US November elections, voters in eight of the nine states voting on cannabis measures approved them, bringing to 63% the portion of Americans living in medical use states and 21% those in adult-use states.

 

• For the first time, the Presidential nominees of both major U.S. political parties felt free to speak approvingly of the medical use of cannabis and the right of states to experiment with different cannabis policies.

 

• In December, the Mexican Senate voted overwhelmingly (98-7) to send a medical-use legalization bill to the Chamber of Deputies.

 

These developments were inconceivable just a few years ago. The biggest political win of the U.S. election came in California. California pioneered the modern cannabis policy reform movement in 1996 when voters passed Proposition 215, the Compassionate Care Act. Though voters failed to approve adult use in 2010, they voted overwhelmingly in 2016 to make adult use legal in a state that represents the world’s sixth-largest economy. Nevada also voted to legalize adult use, though a similar initiative failed narrowly in Arizona. Massachusetts and Maine also passed voter-generated initiatives to legalize the adult use of cannabis, joining District of Columbia voters in showing the continent-wide breadth of the movement.

 

The formalizing of medical-use rules in Montana, and the approval of medical cannabis sales in Arkansas, North Dakota, and Florida (where it garnered 71% of the vote) showed that cannabis policy reform is hugely popular, even in red and swing states that voted for Trump. Earlier in the year, big swing states Ohio and Pennsylvania saw medical legalization come to pass via legislative action.

 

The two most significant votes may have come in the smallest jurisdictions: citizens of Denver narrowly approved on-site usage in licensed clubs, and Pueblo, CO, voters rejected opponents’ efforts to pass what was essentially an industry shutdown. In both cases, cannabis supporters prevailed against the early betting. These votes show that experience with legalization can lead voters to pass even more open laws, and reject efforts to roll it back.

According to the England Journal of Medicine, 76% of clinicians polled worldwide believe that the medicinal benefits outweigh the risks and potential harms. Within the next five years, the legal cannabis industry is expected to out-earn the US film industry, the organic foods industry and more than triple the revenues of the NFL.

53% of Americans support marijuana legalization according to Pew Research.

Marketing Focus and Strategy

 

Our marketing is centered around the Freedom Leaf magazine and website. It is a two-fold strategy. First, the magazine draws businesses that are in the cannabis/hemp industry to speak to us either because they are interested in advertising in the magazine and/or for Freedom Leaf to publicize their business either through us writing an article about their company or for them to write an article about an aspect in the industry that relates to their business (content marketing). Second, Freedom Leaf will undertake cross promotion with operators of different expos, seminars and other public events that extend our reach to companies in the industry. Last of all, we also use the non-profit alliances that we have established to gain a prominent position in our Industry. This has provided Freedom Leaf with considerable credibility and the ability to attract deals with companies to either represent them accelerate them or acquire them.

Sales Targets

 

Companies within the Cannabis/Hemp Industry for Advertising

 

We target companies in the cannabis/hemp industry to offer our advertising and related services. Some examples are: dispensaries in the 29 states, and Washington, D.C. (https://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000881&print=true) that have legalized medical marijuana sales; locations that sell recreational marijuana in the 8 states that have legalized recreational marijuana use, companies that make edible food infused with marijuana and/or CBDs, vape manufacturers and wholesalers, websites that sell auxiliary products related to cannabis/hemp use, and other businesses that sell products and or services that wish to reach our market, such as clothing companies, concert organizers, and manufacturers or distributors of cell phones, headsets, soda, energy drinks, health products, etc.

Target Market

 

The State of Colorado completed a survey for the year 2014 which provides helpful information on the demographics related to our target markets:

 

 

Competitive Edge

 

Freedom Leaf’s credibility has been growing in the cannabis/hemp marketplace due to its support of non-profits in the space and for the excellent editorial and other content in our magazine.

 

At least 50% of our magazine distribution is through non-profit activists (to themselves and those they come in contact with) and we believe, industry activists are among the most loyal consumers any company can potentially have. All of the magazine issues are also available on our Web site in addition to other content for viewers.

 

Its digest size (5.5” x 8.5”) is perfect for people to carry around easily.

 

Competitors

 

We compete with companies of all sizes in a variety of geographies that offer solutions that compete with elements of our business plan, such as in print and online printing, advertising, etc. More specifically, however, the medical and recreational marijuana companies are a new, developing and nascent market, resulting in a highly fragmented and fractured marketplace. The federal state and municipal governments have varying degrees of legality that will affect business. Some of the companies we compete with are much larger than us, and such companies have significantly greater resources.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

Most of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer or user bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be able to secure experienced employees, accommodate customers more efficiently and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. Many of these current and potential competitors can devote substantially more resources to advertising, marketing and attracting experienced talent than we can. In addition, larger, more well-established and financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with our competitors

Government Regulations

 

We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in the United States. There are no current orders or directions relating to our company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.

 

Continued development of the marijuana industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of marijuana at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use of marijuana, which would negatively impact our proposed business.

 

Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal laws. There are currently 25 states and the District of Columbia allowing its citizens to use Medical Marijuana. Additionally, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington State, as well as Washington D.C., have voted to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. The Obama administration effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. However, the Trump administration has signaled that it may reverse Obama-era guidance, and the current administration may change the prior stated policy regarding the low-priority enforcement of federal marijuana laws. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect our revenues and profits. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis in the United States, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the federal government or state-level regulatory or legislative changes.

 

Environmental Regulations

 

We do not believe that we are or will become subject to any environmental laws or regulations of the United States. While our products and business activities do not currently violate any laws, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our products or potential customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs or decreasing demand for our products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Employees

 

As of June 30, 2017, we had a total of six full time employees. Our employees are not parties to any collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relationships with our employees are good.

 

Property

 

We lease approximately 2,800 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada, pursuant to a lease that will expire on April 15, 2019. This facility serves as our corporate headquarters.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

 

The Company established a stock option plan on June 27, 2016.

  

Penny Stock

 

Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

 

contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:

 

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipate,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks” and “estimates” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-K. Investors should carefully consider all of such risks before making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and summary of selected financial data for Freedom Leaf Inc. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment from our Management.

 

DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY

 

The Company was a startup company that was incorporated in Nevada under the name Arkadia International, Inc. on February 21, 2013.

 

On October 3, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Richard C. 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 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 stock split was approved by FINRA, the common share and per common share data in these consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto have 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, we entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger 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 Merger 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 Private Company was merged with and into us. As a result, Freedom Leaf Inc. became our Company whereas the operations of Arkadia International, Inc. ceased, and there was a change of control of the Company.

 

Prior to the merger, 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 resell these in the in the U.S. territories 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.

 

We have been devoting substantially all of our efforts to migrate to the news, arts and entertainment niche, with both “in print” and online publications. The Company is generating revenue through paid advertising in publications, both print and online, in the cannabis/hemp marketplace. The Company will also earn revenue from providing consulting services to 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.  We have also started incubating other companies in the cannabis industry and have one company that we are currently incubating.

 

The following Management Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Form 10-K.

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2017, our revenue was $817,457, compared to $118,473 for the same period in 2016. This increase in revenue was attributable to increased sales related to increased magazine subscriptions and licensing fees.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Direct costs of Revenue. For the year ended June 30, 2017, direct costs of revenue were $124,290 compared to $132,381 for the same period in 2016. As a percent of revenue, direct costs of revenue were 15.2% and 111.7%, respectively, for 2017 and 2016.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses were $1,421,224 compared to $2,685,025 for the same period in 2016. The increase was due to the increase in operations and stock-based compensation ($750,990 compared to $2,258,863 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively).

 

Net Loss. We generated net losses of $910,650 for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to $3,011,220 for the same period in 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General. At June 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,498. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from private placements of our securities and loans. Our cash requirements are generally for selling, general and administrative activities. We believe that our cash balance is not sufficient to finance our cash requirements for expected operational activities, capital improvements, and partial repayment of debt through the next 12 months.

 

Our operating activities used cash of $435,450 for the year ended June 30, 2017, and we used cash in operations of $50,831 during the same period in 2016. The principal elements of cash flow from operations for the year ended June 30, 2017, included a net loss of $910,650.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2017, was $4,312 compared to $3,235 provided by investing activities during the same period in 2016.

 

Cash generated in our financing activities was $440,502 for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to cash generated of $54,923 during the comparable period in 2016.

  

As of June 30, 2017, current assets exceeded current liabilities by 3.68 times. Current assets increased from $7,122 at June 30, 2016 to $641,915 at June 30, 2017, whereas current liabilities decreased from $176,310 at June 30, 2016, to $174,256 at June 30, 2017.

 

   For the years ended 
   June 30, 
   2017   2016 
         
Cash used in operating activities  $435,450   $50,831 
Cash used in investing activities   4,312    3,235 
Cash provided by financing activities   440,502    54,923 
           
Net changes to cash  $740   $857

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated 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 had sales of $817,457 and net losses of $910,650 for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to sales of $118,473 and net losses of $3,011,220 for the year ended June 30, 2016. The Company had a working capital, stockholders’ equity, and accumulated deficit of $467,659, $187,818 and $4,920,988, respectively, at June 30, 2017. 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 is highly dependent on its ability to continue to obtain investment capital from future funding opportunities to fund the current and planned operating levels. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring in income generating activities and its ability to continue receiving investment capital from future funding opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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 warrant and beneficial conversion feature debt discounts, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Changes in Accounting Principles. No significant changes in accounting principles were adopted during fiscal 2017 and 2016.

 

Derivatives. The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be 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. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures their financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses escrow liability and short-term loans the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We have adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. 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:

  

 

 

 17 

 

 

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 operating classes as follows:

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.   The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Adjusted Net Earnings

 

In addition to reporting net loss from operations as defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company presents adjusted net earnings from operations (adjusted net earnings), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted net earnings consist of net loss from operations after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. Adjusted net earnings does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, GAAP measurements such as net loss from operations (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. By eliminating the items shown below, the Company believes that the measure is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies. The Company’s management does not view adjusted net earnings in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net loss from operation and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net earnings for the periods presented:

Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.02 )

 

 

 18 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

In addition to reporting net loss from operations as defined under GAAP, the Company also presents adjusted net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization from operations (adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss from operations after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, GAAP measurements such as net loss from operations (its most comparable GAAP financial measure), and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

By eliminating the items shown below, the Company believes the measure is useful in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies. The Company’s management uses adjusted EBITDA to manage its business, including in preparing its annual operating budget and financial projections. The Company’s management does not view adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as net loss from operations and revenues to measure operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA   For the Years Ended  
    June 30,  
    2017     2016

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

Freedom Leaf Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Freedom Leaf Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Freedom Leaf Inc. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years in the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reported a net loss of $910,650 in 2017, and used cash for operating activities of $435,450. At June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital, shareholders’ equity and accumulated deficit of $467,659, $187,818 and $4,920,988, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

Freedom Leaf Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Freedom Leaf”) 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 C. 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 agreements with the Sellers, Cowan purchased from the Sellers 6,950,100 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $100,000, representing 93% of the then-outstanding common stock of the Company.

 

On November 6, 2014, the Company merged with Freedom Leaf Inc., a private Nevada corporation (“Private Company”). 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 2 for related discussion.

 

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

 

Cannabis Business Solutions Inc. (“Cannabis Business Solutions”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 5, 2014, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary had no activity until the agreement with Valencia Web Technology S.L., B-97183354 (see Note 2).

 

Leafceuticals Inc. (“Leafceuticals”), formerly known as Cannabiz U, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on February 13, 2014, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary has had no activity to date.

 

Freedom Leaf Cares Inc. (“Freedom Leaf Cares”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on October 1, 2014, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Freedom Leaf Cares was dissolved in 2016. Until dissolution, this subsidiary had no activity.

 

Freedom Leaf International Inc. (“Freedom Leaf International”), a Nevada corporation, was formed on November 27, 2015, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary has had no activity to date.

Nature of Operations

 

The Company is focused on being the premium national and international news source for the Cannabis/Industrial Hemp industry. Through our online and print media channels, our efforts are in dissemination of current legislation and legal news, arts and entertainment. Additional websites and online partnerships are in the development stage that are intended to give the Freedom Leaf brand greater exposure. The Company generates revenue from paid advertising on both online and print publications as well as consulting fees and incubator fees for companies that want to participate in the Cannabis/Industrial Hemp industry. Another operating revenue class by the Company is brand management for both profit and non-profit organizations. An example is the contract with NORML which was entered into on May 26, 2015. This contract authorizes the Company to undertake all of the commercial activities of NORML, earning income for both the non-profit and the Company. The Company also sells licenses to use the Freedom Leaf brand in different countries and states. We have entered into two license agreements: for Spain and Portugal, for The Netherlands, and for Florida.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Freedom Leaf and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cannabis Business Solutions, Leafceuticals, Freedom Leaf Cares, and Freedom Leaf International. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be 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. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

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.

 

 

 F-7 
 

 

We currently measure and report at fair value our intangible assets (due to our impairment analysis) and derivative liabilities. The fair value of intangible assets has been determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows method. The fair value of derivative liabilities is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The following table summarizes our non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and 2016:

 

 

          Quoted              
          Prices in

Assets:                    
Trademarks  $7,464   $   $   $7,464 
Total Financial Assets  $7,464   $   $   $7,464 

 

Following is a summary of activity through June 30, 2017 of the fair value of intangible assets valued using Level 3 inputs:

 

            Accumulated        
      Asset     Amortization     Net  
Balance at June 30, 2016     $ 8,148     $ (684 )   $ 7,464  
Additions       4,097             4,097  
Amortization             (741 )     (741 )
Balance at June 30, 2017     $ 12,245     $ (1,425 )   $ 10,820  

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017:

 

   Balance at June 30, 2017   Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets   Significant Other Observable Inputs   Significant Unobservable Inputs 
         (Level 1)    (Level 2)    (Level 3) 
Liabilities:                    
Derivative Liabilities  $52,757   $   $   $52,757 
Total Financial Assets  $52,757   $   $   $52,757 

 

Following is a summary of activity through June 30, 2017 of the fair value of derivative liabilities valued using Level 3 inputs:

  

Balance at June 30, 2016  $ 
Note inception date fair value   (2,559)
Change in fair value during 2017   55,316 
Balance at June 30, 2017  $52,757 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions ASC Topic 505-50. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

  

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.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated 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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounting for Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

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:

 

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

 

Advertising and Marketing

 

Advertising and marketing is expensed as incurred and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 advertising expense was $41,712 and $18,335, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2017, all previous tax years remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

 

The Company adopted ASC 740-10, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48,” (“ASC 740-10”), which was issued on May 2, 2007. ASC 740-10 amends FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The term “effectively settled” replaces the term “ultimately settled” when used to describe recognition, and the terms “settlement” or “settled” replace the terms “ultimate settlement” or “ultimately settled” when used to describe measurement of a tax position under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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 which may dilute future earnings per share consist of warrants to purchase 1,918,167 shares of common stock at June 30, 2017 and convertible notes convertible into 4,529,832 common shares. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive.

 

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 June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU No. 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires management to perform an evaluation each annual and interim reporting period of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within the one-year period after the date that the financial statements are issued. If such conditions are identified, the guidance requires an entity to provide certain disclosures about the principal conditions or events that gave rise to the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations and management’s plans to alleviate or mitigate substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements and does not anticipate early adoption of this pronouncement.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU on lease accounting. The ASU requires the lease rights and obligations arising from lease contracts, including existing and new arrangements, to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. While the Company is still evaluating the ASU, the Company expects the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition due to the recognition of the lease rights and obligations as assets and liabilities. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, and the ASU will have no effect on cash flows.

 

The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statement.

NOTE 2 – ENTRY INTO A DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

Freedom Leaf Inc. f/k/a Arkadia International, Inc., a Nevada corporation and the public company (the “Company,” “Public Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) entered into a merger agreement with a private Nevada corporation, Freedom Leaf Inc. (the “Private Company”). Prior to the reverse merger, Richard C. Cowan, the officer and director of the Public Company, had acquired the majority of its outstanding common stock. Clifford J. Perry, the Private Company’s sole officer and director pre-merger (“Perry”), was the owner of record of all of the outstanding common shares of the Private Company (the “Private Company Stock”) prior to the merger. Pursuant to the merger, the Private Company was merged into the Public Company, and Perry, the Private Company’s shareholder, received 83,401.2 shares of Public Company common stock for each share of Private Company stock pre-merger, or 83,401,200 total shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The closing of the merger 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, we filed Articles of Merger in Nevada consummating the merger, and shareholders of the Private Company pre-merger (Perry) owned approximately 48.1% of our issued and outstanding common stock post-merger. Following the merger, the Company focused on pursuing Private Company’s historical businesses.

 

The foregoing description of the merger agreement and transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the merger agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended December 31, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

 

For financial reporting purposes, the merger represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination, and Private Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The merger 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 merger 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 merger will include the assets and liabilities of the Public Company and the Private Company, the historical operations of the Private Company and operations of both companies from the closing date of the Merger.

LaMarihuana Purchase

 

On May 30, 2017, Cannabis Business Solutions Inc. (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary of the registrant, Freedom Leaf Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Valencia Web Technology S.L., B-97183354, a Spanish limited liability company (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada) (the “Seller”) to purchase the Seller’s assets, including its cash and cash equivalents, equipment, inventory, receivables, and two of its websites www.lamarihuana.com and www.marihuana-medicinal.com (but not including the Seller’s website cannabislandia.com), for a purchase price consisting of a 10% interest in the Buyer, and 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the registrant, valued at $300,000 (the “Initial FRLF Shares”), with additional shares of the registrant’s common stock due six months following closing if, at such time, the average closing price of the registrant’s common stock during the previous five trading days is less than $0.10/share. Such additional shares shall be calculated as follows: $300,000 minus the product of (a) the Initial FRLF Shares multiplied by (b) the average closing price of the registrant’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the True-Up Date (the “True-Up Price”), with such difference divided by the True-Up Price. As of June 30, 2017, the common stock issued was valued at $184,500 therefore a contingent liability of $150,000 was recorded (see Note 4).

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2017 of $910,650 and working capital as of June 30, 2017 of $467,659, and has used cash in operations of $435,450 for the year ended June 30, 2017. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, the Company had a stockholders’ equity and accumulated deficit of $187,818 and $4,920,988, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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. 

 

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of October 5, 2017, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits.

Future minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows:

 

2018   $23,928 
2019    18,943 
       
Total   $42,871 

 

Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $39,600 and $33,919, respectively.

 

Other Commitment

 

On May 30, 2017, Cannabis Business Solutions Inc.

Such additional shares shall be calculated as follows: $300,000 minus the product of (a) the Initial FRLF Shares multiplied by (b) the average closing price of the registrant’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the True-Up Date (the “True-Up Price”), with such difference divided by the True-Up Price. As of June 30, 2017, the common stock issued was valued at $184,500 therefore a contingent liability of $150,000 was recorded (see Note 2).

(a) Convertible

 

On July 7, 2015, the Company executed a convertible promissory note for $5,000 with Bruce Perlowin. The note is for one year, 12% interest rate, and convertible at $0.10 per share. The current price at that date was $0.085, which is less than the conversion price. The stock price for our common stock as of September 30, 2015 was $0.40. Our common stock is thinly traded therefore our price, as management has determined, is not indicative of our valuation. In October 2015, the Company issued common stock for services to unrelated parties and the common stock was values at $0.20, therefore, the $0.20 was used for valuation purposes for this note. A beneficial conversion feature of $5,000 was recorded and subsequently amortized. The Company has recorded accrued interest of $467 as of June 30, 2017. On April 15, 2016, Mr. Perlowin converted the principal of this promissory note into 50,000 shares of common stock (see Note 7). The accrued interest was not converted.

The interest rate for each loan tranche is 8% and is accrued with a payment date of December 15, 2016 for the first tranche and January 15, 2017 for the second tranche. The conversion price for the $100,000, which may happen any time prior to December 14, 2016, shall be the greater of $0.03 or 50% of the lowest closing price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s common stock is quoted for the five trading days immediately prior to, but not including, the conversion date, assuming that Swiss Allied has not exercised all 80,000,000 warrants for common stock. The conversion price for the $100,000, assuming that Swiss Allied has exercised all 80,000,000 warrants for common stock, shall be $0.005 per share.

The Company issued Swiss Allied four warrants as an incentive to the note, each for 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for a total of 80,000,000 warrants. Each warrant has an exercise price of $0.005 per share. The four warrants, each for 20,000,000 shares of common stock, mature on March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, October 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017, respectively. The warrants, as an incentive to the note, should have a beneficial conversion feature. As the note’s beneficial conversion feature is at the maximum, there is no beneficial conversion feature to record. If Swiss Allied exercises all warrants, the Company would receive an additional $400,000 for said shares of common stock. If Swiss Allied does not exercise all 80,000,000 warrants, by the maturation dates, as described herein, the exercise price shall be adjusted to $0.06, an increase of $0.055 per share as a penalty, which is payable to the Company at the time Swiss Allied requests to have the Rule 144 restriction removed. The interest rate for each loan tranche is 8% and is accrued with a payment date of December 15, 2016 for the first tranche and January 15, 2017 for the second tranche. The conversion price for the $100,000, which may happen any time prior to December 14, 2016, shall be the greater of $0.03 or 50% of the lowest closing price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s common stock is quoted for the five trading days immediately prior to, but not including, the conversion date, assuming that Swiss Allied has not exercised all 80,000,000 warrants for common stock. The conversion price for the $100,000, assuming that Swiss Allied has exercised all 80,000,000 warrants for common stock, shall be $0.005 per share. Swiss Allied has a right of first refusal on any future funding to the Company. Swiss Allied has the right to name a party to serve as a member of the Company’s board of directors if Swiss Allied owns at least 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. If Swiss Allied owns at least 80,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, they have the right to name two parties to the Company’s board of directors. The two directors will remain as long as Swiss Allied owns 55,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 6 for amendment on the warrant that matured on March 31, 2016.

   2017   2016 
Magazine related  $39,161   $85,675 
Referral fees   10,054    7,798 
Licensing fees   750,000    25,000

Total  $124,290   $132,381 

 

The Company’s four revenue classes are magazine related, referral fees, licensing fees (see Note 2) and equipment sales commissions (see Note 2).

 

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAX

 

As of June 30, 2017, and 2016, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $3,196,453 and $3,195,067, respectively. The carry forwards expire through the year 2034. The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

 

 

 F-22 

 

 

The Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for Federal income tax purposes (computed by applying the United States Federal tax rate of 34% to loss before taxes), as follows:

 

   For the Years Ended 
   June 30, 
   2017   2016 
         
Tax expense (benefit) at the statutory rate  $(309,621)  $(1,056,037)
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit   (134)   (15,766)
Change in valuation allowance   309,755    1,071,803 
           
Total  $   $ 

 

The tax effects of the temporary differences between reportable financial statement income and taxable income are recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

The tax years 2014 through 2017 remain to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

  

The tax effect of significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are as follows:

 

   June 30, 
   2017   2016 
         
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carryforward  $1,073,183   $1,071,797 
Timing differences   908,366    908,366 
Total gross deferred tax assets   1,981,549    1,980,163 
Less: Deferred tax asset valuation allowance   (1,981,549)   (1,980,163)
           
Total net deferred taxes  $   $ 

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

Because of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets for 2017 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for the remaining net deferred tax assets was $1,981,549 and $1,980,163 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

2019     816  
2020     816

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVES

 

Embedded Conversion Option Derivatives

 

Due to the conversion terms of certain promissory notes, the embedded conversion options met the criteria to be bifurcated and presented as derivative liabilities. The Company calculated the estimated fair values of the liabilities for embedded conversion option derivative instruments at the original note inception date and as of June 30, 2017 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the share prices of the Company’s stock on the dates of valuation and using the following ranges for volatility, expected term and the risk-free interest rate at each respective valuation date, no dividend has been assumed for any of the periods:

 

   

Note Inception

Date

   

June 30,

2017

 
                 
Volatility     170% - 232%       141%  
Expected Term   0.75 - 0.83 years     0.33 - 0.96 years  
Risk Free Interest Rate     1.07% - 1.18%       0.84%  

  

The following reflects the initial fair value on the note inception date and changes in fair value through June 30, 2017:

 

Note inception date fair value allocated to debt discount  $122,500 
Change in fair value in 2016   (122,500)
Embedded conversion option derivative liability fair value on June 30, 2016    
Note inception date fair value allocated to debt discount   163,000 
Note modifications adjustment   (54,927)
Change in fair value in 2017   (55,316)
Embedded conversion option derivative liability fair value on June 30, 2017  $52,757

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the CEO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records which in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, management used the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the criteria established by COSO, management (with the participation of the CEO and CFO) identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, which arose from the limited number of number of staff at the Company and the inability to achieve proper segregation of duties:

 

The Company lacked effective controls for ensuring the accuracy of reporting over significant account balances, including the review, approval, and documentation of related transactions and account reconciliations and other complex accounting procedures.

 

The Company lacked effective controls because their directors are not independent.

 

As a result of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Security and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Nevada Corporation Law allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and any corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses, incurred arising under the 1933 Act. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law and such right to indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and Consultants; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company will not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred will include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.

 

The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those conferred to directors and officers of the Company. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses are subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act to the extent applicable.

 

Furthermore, the Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another company against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Nevada General Corporation Law.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we did not have an independent director. Directors that were employees were not paid any fees for their role as director.

 

Involvement on Certain Material Legal Proceedings During the Last Five Years

 

No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, exclusive of traffic violations.

 

 

 

 23 

 

 

No bankruptcy petitions have been filed by or against any business or property of any director, officer, significant employee or consultant of the Company nor has any bankruptcy petition been filed against a partnership or business association where these persons were general partners or executive officers.

 

No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been permanently or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.

 

No director, officer or significant employee has been convicted of violating a federal or state securities or commodities law.

 

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

 

Freedom Leaf does not have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We intend to adopt a written code of ethics in the near future.

  

Corporate Governance & Board Independence

 

Our Board of Directors consists of three directors 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 consolidated 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 one of our directors, 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.
