KAIVAL BRANDS INNOVATIONS GROUP, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), formerly known as Quick Start Holdings, Inc., was incorporated on September 4, 2018 in the State of Delaware.
USSE Corp. and USSE Delaware Merger
USSE Corp., a Nevada Corporation (“USSE Nevada”), formerly known as Quick Start Holdings, Inc., was incorporated with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 8, 1998 under the original name C&A Restaurants, Inc. (“C&A Restaurants”). On June 15, 2009, C&A Restaurants changed its name to USSE Corp.
Effective September 19, 2018, USSE Nevada re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware pursuant to a merger of USSE Nevada with and into USSE Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Delaware”), with USSE Delaware as the surviving entity (the “Re-domestication Merger”). Each share of USSE Nevada’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Re-domestication Merger was automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of USSE Delaware.
Immediately following the Re-domestication Merger, USSE Delaware was authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding at such date; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding at that date; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 Convertible Series B preferred shares were issued and outstanding at that date.
Holding Company Reorganization
On September 4, 2018, USSE Delaware acquired 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which represented 100% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock, for no consideration, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware. Also, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization (as defined below), USSE Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USSE Merger Sub”), was the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
On September 19, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), USSE Merger Sub, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware and the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into USSE Delaware, the Company’s then parent (the “Holding Company Reorganization”). USSE Delaware was the surviving corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. USSE Delaware also changed its name to USSE Corp. following the Holding Company Reorganization.
Upon completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, by virtue of the merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of USSE Delaware’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Holding Company Reorganization was automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, each share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s preferred stock, having the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, as the corresponding share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and held by USSE Delaware immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled.
This resulted in the Company being authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
| 8 |
Post-Holding Company Reorganization
On October 19, 2018, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 400,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock to GMRZ Holdings LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GRMZ”), for services rendered to the Company.
Commensurate with the filing of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 22, 2018, every issued and outstanding share of Convertible Series A preferred stock was converted into 1.25 shares of common stock with shareholders’ economic rights preserved. Additionally, at the same time, every share of Convertible Series B preferred stock, issued and outstanding was converted into ten shares of common stock with stockholders’ economic rights adversely affected in the conversion. Immediately following the conversion of the aforementioned shares, and upon filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized and unissued shares of Convertible Series A and Convertible Series B preferred stock were cancelled. As of October 22, 2018, Convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock were removed from the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock.
On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into a non-binding Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, GMRZ, and Kaival Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Kaival Brands Innovations Group, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (formerly known as Kaival Brands Innovations Group, LLC) (“KH”), pursuant to which, on February 20, 2019, GMRZ sold 504,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, representing approximately 88.06 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to KH, and KH paid GMRZ consideration in the amount set forth in the Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with KH becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder. The sole members of KH are Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the members of KH.
Effective July 12, 2019, we changed our corporate name from Quick Start Holdings, Inc. to Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short-form merger of Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of the name change, with and into us. We were the surviving entity.
On the effective date of the merger, our name was changed to “Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc.” and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), was further amended to reflect our new legal name. There were no other changes to our Charter.
Currently, we have 572,364,574 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. KH, which is owned and controlled by Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser, is our controlling stockholder, owning 504,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock.
As of January 31, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced any business operations.

Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide a reader of the financial statements with a narrative report on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial Statements and notes thereto for the three months ended January 31, 2020 included under Item 1 – Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report and our audited Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2019 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Please also see the cautionary language at the beginning of this Quarterly Report regarding forward-looking statements.
Corporate History
We were incorporated on September 4, 2018 in the State of Delaware.
USSE Corp. and USSE Delaware Merger
USSE Nevada was incorporated with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 8, 1998 under the original name C&A Restaurants. On June 15, 2009, C&A Restaurants changed its name to USSE Corp.
Effective September 19, 2018, USSE Nevada re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware pursuant to a merger of USSE Nevada with and into USSE Delaware, with USSE Delaware as the surviving entity.
Holding Company Reorganization
On September 4, 2018, USSE Delaware acquired 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which represented 100% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock, for no consideration, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware. Also, immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization, USSE Merger Sub was the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
At the Effective Time, and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 251(g) of the DGCL, USSE Merger Sub, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of USSE Delaware and the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary, merged with and into USSE Delaware, the Company’s then parent. USSE Delaware was the surviving corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. USSE Delaware also changed its name to USSE Corp. following the Holding Company Reorganization
Upon completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, by virtue of the merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of USSE Delaware’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Holding Company Reorganization was automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, each share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of the Company’s preferred stock, having the same designations, rights, powers, and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, as the corresponding share of USSE Delaware’s preferred stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and held by USSE Delaware immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled.
| 11 |
This resulted in the Company being authorized to issue up to 1,005,000,000 shares, which consisted of: (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of which 66,397,574 shares were issued and outstanding; (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which (a) 1,000,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series A, all of which were issued and outstanding; and (b) 500,000 shares were designated as Convertible Series B, of which 71,700 shares of Convertible Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Post-Holding Company Reorganization
On October 19, 2018, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares of restricted common stock and 400,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock to GMRZ for services rendered to the Company.
Commensurate with the filing of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 22, 2018, every issued and outstanding share of Convertible Series A preferred stock was converted into 1.25 shares of common stock with shareholders’ economic rights preserved. Additionally, at the same time, every share of Convertible Series B preferred stock, issued and outstanding was converted into ten shares of common stock with stockholders’ economic rights adversely affected in the conversion. Immediately following the conversion of the aforementioned shares, and upon filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized and unissued shares of Convertible Series A and Convertible Series B preferred stock were cancelled. As of October 22, 2018, Convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock were removed from the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock.
On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Agreement, by and among the Company, GMRZ, and KH, pursuant to which, on February 20, 2019, GMRZ sold 504,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, representing approximately 88.06 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to KH, and KH paid GMRZ the Purchase Price. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company, with KH becoming the Company’s largest controlling stockholder. The sole members of KH are Nirajkumar Patel and Eric Mosser. The Purchase Price was paid with personal funds of the members of KH.

Commencement of Business Operations
On March 9, 2020, we entered into the Distribution Agreement with Bidi, whereby Bidi granted us an exclusive worldwide right to distribute electronic nicotine delivery systems and related components (all such products whether now or hereafter made available for sale by Bidi are referred to as the “Products”) for sale and resale to both retail level customers (“Retail Customers”) and non-retail level customers (“Non-Retail Customers”). Bidi’s primary product is the “Bidi Stick.”
Bidi is considered a related party to us because our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and director, Mr. Nirajkumar Patel, owns and controls Bidi. Mr. Patel is also a beneficial owner of KH, the entity that is our largest controlling stockholder. Thus, Bidi and we are under common control.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Bidi is responsible for providing us with all branding, logos, and marketing materials to be utilized by us in connection with our marketing and promotion of the Products. Initially, we intend to begin marketing activities through our own efforts; however, the exact marketing methods we intend to utilize have not been determined with any level of specificity at this point in time. In addition to commencing internal marketing efforts, it is our intention to outsource the majority of our marketing activities to a marketing firm. We have not identified the marketing firm(s) we may engage, nor have we determined exactly when we will engage any such marketing firm. Given our historical lack of revenue, and the implementation of our new business plan, additional financing will be required in order to fulfill our objectives and all such plans relating to our marketing activities remain in development.
We will process all sales made to Retail Customers and Non-Retail Customers, with all sales to Retail Customers to be made through the website, www.bidivapor.com. We are responsible for providing all customer service and support at our own expense. Bidi will set the minimum prices for all sales made by us.
With respect to sales to Non-Retail Customers, we will submit purchase orders to Bidi, and Bidi will be responsible for shipping any and all products directly to these Non-Retail Customers. However, in the case of Retail Customers, we will maintain adequate inventory levels of all Products in order to meet these customers’ demand, and will be responsible for delivering all Products sold to these Retail Customers.
The Agreement has a term of one year and automatically renews for successive one-year terms, unless either party provides the other party with written notice of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Either party is entitled to terminate the Agreement at any time in the event of material breach by the other party that remains uncured after thirty (30) calendar days following written notice thereof. In such event, termination is effective immediately and automatically upon the expiration of the applicable notice period, without further notice or action by either party. Either party may terminate the Agreement and any outstanding purchase orders immediately, at its option, upon written notice if the other party (i) becomes or is declared insolvent or bankrupt, (ii) is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or other proceeding related to its liquidation or solvency, which proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) calendar days after its filing, (iii) ceases to do business in the normal course, or (iv) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Bidi is also entitled to terminate the Agreement at any time upon written notice to us if we fail to satisfy the minimum purchase threshold for any applicable period (as set forth in the Agreement).
Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, we commenced business operations. We believe that over the course of the next twelve months, we will need to raise capital in order to achieve our business objections; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any required capital or that capital will be available to us at acceptable terms, or at all. In the interim period, the Company intends to entirely on its officers and directors for funding, but they are under no legal obligation to do so.
As a result of the commencement of business operations, we intend to initially hire independent contractors, as the need arises, to perform tasks that our management team cannot personally devote their time to. In the future, we may also evaluate whether the hiring of employees is needed. We cannot provide any assurance as to the timing of the hiring of any independent contractors or employees, the number of independent contractors or employees that we may hire, and whether acceptable independent contractors or employees will be available to us at that time.

Going Concern
We have negative working capital, a stockholder deficit, and, as of January 31, 2020, have not begun to generate revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the foreseeable future, we will be devoting our efforts to our recently commenced business operations. At this time there is no assurance that management's plan with respect to our newly commenced business operations will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that we cannot continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of January 31, 2020 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.
As of January 31, 2020, the Company had cash assets totaling $285. The Company’s current liabilities as of January 31, 2020 totaled $31,647, which consisted of accrued expenses.
The Company had cash flows provided by operating activities of $285 for the three months ended January 31, 2020. As of January 31, 2020, the Company had not generated any revenues. The Company is dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
The Company had not conducted any active operations from inception to the quarter ended January 31, 2020, except for its efforts to identify suitable business opportunities. The Company has not generated any revenue from September 4, 2018 (inception) through January 31, 2020. Management believes that these circumstances may hinder the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months is to carry out our new business plan.
For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a net loss of $12,933 and $13,960, respectively, which consisted of general and administrative expenses.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act eases restrictions on the sale of securities and increases the number of stockholders a company must have before becoming subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s reporting and disclosure rules. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of January 31, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that because of material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2020.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitations, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Chances in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended January 31, 2020, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
