CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about risks associated with:

 

 

Risks related to our business, including:

 

 

we have a history of losses;

 

 

our auditors have raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

 

we have a working capital deficit and need to raise additional capital to continue our business model;

 

 

our dependence on third party brokers, distributors and co-packers;

 

 

the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our company; and

 

 

our reliance on our sole officer and director.

 

Risks related to regulation applicable to our industry, including:

 

 

significant labeling and warning requirements;

 

 

compliance with existing laws and regulations and possible future changes in laws and regulations; and

 

 

any failure to protect personal data;

 

Risks related to the ownership of our securities, including:

 

 

the applicability of penny stock rules; and

 

 

material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; and

 

 

the significant dilution to our stockholders upon the conversion of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements including those made in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 10, 2021 and our other filings with the SEC. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

 

All references in this report to the “Company”, “Gridiron,” “GridIron BioNutrients”, “we”, “us,” or “our” are to Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc., a Nevada corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary Gridiron Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

GRIDIRON BIONUTRIENTS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gridiron”) was formed under the laws of the state of Nevada on July 20, 2017 to develop and distribute a retail line of health water infused with probiotics and minerals.

 

The Company is currently developing products using five proprietary preclinical prodrugs: a mushroom-derived psychedelic molecule for treatment post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, a novel cannabinoid for treatment of addiction and three additional novel cannabinoid prodrugs addressing clinical indications of refractory epilepsy, burn wounds and uveitis.

 

The Company also owns a currently approved nutraceutical complex specially designed and formulated to contribute and help maintain normal energy metabolism, improve mood and reduce fatigue for those suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

 

The Company has elected an August 31st year end.

 

On December 22, 2020, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, which were effective on January 8, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), which effected a three hundred eight for one (308:1) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. Previously, on December 4, 2020 the Company filed a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the SEC notifying its stockholders that on December 2, 2020, the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares of common stock and the shares Series A Convertible Preferred Stock who were entitled to consent to the action, voting as a single class, executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders approving a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock of not less than 300:1 and not more than 310:1, with the Company’s board of directors having the discretion as to when such reverse stock split would be effected (on or prior to December 2, 2021) and the exact ratio of the reverse stock split to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by the board of directors in its sole discretion. On December 17, 2020, in accordance with such authority, the board of directors fixed the exact ratio of the reverse stock split.

 

Change in Control

 

On November 5, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the assets, including intellectual property assets, relating to Mioxal® as discussed in Note 4 – Asset Purchase. The closing of the acquisition resulted in a change of control of the Company. As part of the acquisition, Mr. Orr, stepped down as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and assumed the role of the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Orr will remain a director of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Jeffrey J. Kraws was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. In addition, the Company agreed to appoint Jason Frankovich as a director of the Company subject to the Company’s compliance with Rule 14F-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

This summary of accounting policies for Gridiron is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for fair value calculations related to embedded conversion features of outstanding convertible notes payable. As discussed on Note 4 – Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged the convertible notes payable for Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the agreement, the convertible notes payable was reduced to $-0- in the accompanying consolidate balance sheets.

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company had $2,933,712 and $17,881 of cash as of November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, respectively. The 2,976,236 increase was from our Series B-1 stock subscriptions as discussed in Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

 
8

Table of Contents

 

Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.

 

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

 

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

 

As discussed in Note 11 – Derivative Liability, the Company valued its derivative liability using Level 3 inputs as of August 31, 2021. As discussed on Note 4 – Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged the preferred stock warrants and convertible notes payable for Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the agreement, the derivative liability was reduced to $-0-. The Company did not identify any additional assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 825-10 as of November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow or market risks. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features on the convertible debt, are classified as derivative liabilities due to protection provisions within the agreements. Convertible notes payable are initially recorded at fair value using the Monte Carlo model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The preferred stock warrants are initially recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes model and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period. The Company accounts for derivative instruments and debt instruments in accordance with the interpretive guidance of ASC 815, ASU 2017-11, and associated pronouncements related to the classification and measurement of warrants and instruments with conversion features.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Use of net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes may be limited by Internal Revenue Code section 382 if a change of ownership occurs.

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements represent the results of Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc, its wholly owned subsidiary, Gridiron Ventures and the assets, processes, and results therefrom. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials and T-free distillate and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first‑in, first‑out method. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its inventory and reduces the carrying value of the inventory when items are determined to be obsolete, defective or in excess of forecasted sales requirements. Inventory write‑downs for excess, defective and obsolete inventory are recorded as impairment expense in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company wrote-off $17,000 and $-0- of obsolete inventory or inventory below market value for the for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

The Series B and Series B1 Convertible Preferred shares would convert to 8,083,542 shares of the Company’s common stock in addition to the 20,020,239 outstanding shares at November 30, 2021. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders less preferred dividends by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The conversion of the Company’s Series B and Series B1 Convertible Preferred shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s operating losses for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Dividends

 

During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which accrues dividends at a rate of 5% annually. As discussed on Note 4 – Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged the Series A Convertible Preferred for Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the Exchange agreement, the dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was reduced to $-0- in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Series B and Series B1 Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 10% annually. There was $275,082 and $138,195 of dividends payable at November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, respectively. The dividends have not been declared and are accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a result of a contractual obligation in the Company’s Series B and Series B1 Preferred Stock offering.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs totaling $156 and $210 during the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

 

There was $-0- stock-based compensation during three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2019-12 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluation the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable balances are established for amounts owed to the Company from its customers from the sale of products. The Company closely monitors the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimated collections of outstanding amounts. The Company evaluated the accounts receivable and determined no collection loss reserve was necessary. There were $-0- outstanding accounts receivable as of November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021.

 

Trademark

 

Trademark costs are capitalized as incurred to the extent the Company expects the costs incurred to result in a trademark being awarded. The trademarks are deemed to have an indefinite life and are reviewed for impairment loss considerations annually. As of November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, the Company had trademarks totaling $1,680.

NOTE 4 – EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

On April 9, 2021 Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Calvary Fund Management, LLC (“Calvary”) pursuant to which it agreed to issue Calvary 2,694,514 shares of its newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) in exchange (the “Exchange”) for (i) 8,480,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”), (ii) outstanding common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”), and (iii) all principal and accrued interest due under outstanding convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”, and together with the Series A Preferred and the Warrants, the “Calvary Securities”). The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) will occur following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement. On the Closing date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, the Company will issue the Series B Preferred to Calvary in exchange for the Calvary Securities (which will be cancelled and retired) in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on exemptions provided pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

 

The Series B Preferred Designations designated 2,694,514 shares of the Company’s blank check preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. In addition to rights granted to holders of Series B Preferred Stock under the Nevada Revised Statues, each holder will be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock. Once issued, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are transferrable by the holder in the holder’s sole option without the consent of the Company, subject to compliance with Section 5 of the Securities Act.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock will rank senior to all other classes of the Company’s capital stock and has a stated value of $1.30 per share (the “Stated Value”). Subject only to the liquidation rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock that is then currently issued and outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Stated Value and then receive a pro-rata portion of the remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis.

Table of Contents

 

From and after the Closing date, cumulative dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock will accrue, on a quarterly basis in arrears, at the rate of 10% per annum on the Stated Value, plus all dividends, whether declared or not, on such share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Additional Amount”) thereon. All accrued dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock are to be paid upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock for which the applicable dividend is due. At the option of the Company dividends may be paid in cash or shares of common stock. Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will also be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on each share of Series B Preferred Stock on an “as converted” into common stock basis when and if dividends are declared on the common stock by the Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends may be paid in cash or property, as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

Subject to the beneficial ownership limitations described below, at any time after the Closing date, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a conversion rate (the “Conversion Rate”) determined by dividing the Conversion Amount of such share of Series B Preferred Stock by the conversion price, which is (i) $1.30 or (ii) 75% of the price paid per share by investors in any subsequent offering of the Company’s common stock or common stock equivalents, subject to adjustment as provided herein, subject to adjustment as set forth below (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Amount is defined as the Stated Value plus the Additional Amount and any accrued and unpaid late charges with respect to such Stated Value and Additional Amount as of such date of determination. In addition, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option at the Conversion Price any time during the period commencing on the date of the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B Preferred Designations). A holder of Series B Preferred Stock will not be able to convert the shares into shares of common stock to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause the holder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of our common stock following such exercise or conversion, subject to a waiver by the holder upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

 

The Conversion Price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock will be subject to pro-rata adjustment for stock splits, dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, if on or after April 9, 2021, the execution date of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of common stock, excluding certain specified excluded securities for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale, then, immediately after such dilutive issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price.

 

The Series B Preferred Designations or any provision hereof (other than the beneficial ownership limitation set forth above) may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and either (i) the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then currently outstanding, which must include Cavalry as long as Cavalry (or any of its affiliates) owns at least 5% of the Series B Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, or (ii) Cavalry as long as Cavalry (or any of its affiliates) owns at least 5% of the Series B Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had limited revenue and a net operating loss of $361,072 for the three months ended November 30, 2021. The Company has working capital deficit of $26,376,259 and an accumulated deficit of $3,350,368 as of November 30, 2021. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The ability of the Company to fully commence its operations is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and execution of its business plan. In response to these concerns, management plans to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing. Debt instruments may be convertible or non-convertible and will vary based on the Company’s needs and financing options available at such times. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. 

 

NOTE 6 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

On April 27, 2020, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement, effective April 27, 2020, with Libertas Funding, LLC, a Connecticut Limited Liability Company (“Libertas”), pursuant to which Libertas offered and the Company accepted to participate with Future Receivables in Purchase Agreement(s) with qualifying merchants, specifically QSI Holding Company, a Delaware Corporation (“QSI”). The Company’s participation buy-in amount was $200,000 with a participation purchase of $264,000 that is estimated to result in weekly payments to the Company for a minimum period of nine months or until the full participation purchase amount has been paid. The $200,000 buy-in was recorded as a Note receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On September 1, 2020, Libertas renegotiated this agreement, and the Company will receive weekly payments for $4,921 and extended the term to 38 weeks. The previous weekly payment was $6,984. The final payments was received in April 2021, to fully satisfy the notes receivable.

 

In addition, on April 27, 2020, under the Libertas Participation Agreement, the Company received 45,053 Warrants of QSI Holding Company, a private company, (“QSI Warrants”) to purchase common stock priced at $3.111 per share for common stock par value $0.00001 expiring the 7th anniversary after the issue date. Upon issuance, the Company valued the warrants using the Black Scholes model yielding a total value of $58,443. The Company used the following assumptions upon measurement: QSI Holding Company value per common share of $3.4520, a life of 7 years, an exercise price of $3.111, a risk-free rate of 0.56% and volatility of 32%. In addition, the Company recorded a discount of $58,443 and will record income over the 7-year life of the warrants. On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Warrant Assignment Agreement to assign the QSI Warrants issued on April 29, 2020 from QSI Holding Company, Inc. (“QSI”), to Calvary Fund 1 LP (“Calvary”). In consideration of the assignment of the Warrant, Calvary forgives the Company from the principal and interest owing under the Calvary $150,000 promissory note dated August 30, 2021. The warrants are recorded as an equity investment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for $-0- and $11,132 at November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company could become a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcomes to the Company and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. As of the date of this report, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of their property is the subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, the COVID-19 has spread globally including across North America and the United States. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020. Specifically, we caution that our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the outbreak of COVID-19. To date, COVID has directly impacted the ability we have to participate in trade show events and other in-person marketing. The risk of a pandemic, or public perception of the risk, could cause customers to avoid public places, including retail properties, and could cause temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our inventory to customers. Further, such risks could also adversely affect retail customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on premium products.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

As discussed on Note 4 – Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged the preferred stock warrants and convertible notes payable for Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the agreement, the derivative liability was reduced to $-0-.

 

Preferred Stock Warrants

 

During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 27,532 warrants to purchase common stock as part of its preferred stock offering. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at $50.82 per share. Additionally, the warrant holder is entitled to a cashless exercise after nine months from issuance in which the holder is entitled to receive a number of shares equal to: [A] the number of outstanding warrant shares under the original issuance multiplied by [B] the greater of the trailing five day volume weighted average price less [A] the number of outstanding warrant shares under the original issuance multiplied by [C] the exercise price of the warrant under the original issuance divided by [D] the lesser of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price during the five trailing trading days or the volume weighted average price for the trading day immediately prior to the cashless exercise election. For clarity, the resulting formula is [(A x B) – (A x C)] / D. 

 

The Company analyzed the conversion features of the cashless exercise feature in the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded features should be classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price of these warrants are subject to a variable rate. The Company has determined that warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded a derivative liability.

 

Upon issuance, the Company valued the derivative using a Black-Scholes model yielding a total value of $674,012 which was expensed during the year ended August 31, 2018. The Company used the following assumptions upon initial measurement: value per common share of $27.72, a remaining life of 3.0 years, an exercise price of $50.82, a risk-free rate of 2.77% and volatility of 195%.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

Overview

 

Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (“GMVP”) will be among the first companies to harness the raw power of botanical therapeutics by transforming them into drugs that are safely, reliably and consistently delivered.

 

There are two fundamental limitations in exploiting botanical Schedule 1 molecules:

 

 

1.

Large and unpredictable pharmacokinetic excursions, both high and low, that make the drug potentially dangerous or ineffective

 

 

 

 

2.

Insolubility in water that curtails bioavailability across mucosal membranes

  

To overcome these limitations, GMVP has engaged with a US-Israeli pharmaceutical firm that has pioneered the design and development of novel small molecules in the fields of cancer, heart disease, lung injury, intermediary metabolism and ophthalmology, with 3 exits totaling $1.4 billion, federal R&D grants and contracts totaling $160M and capital raises of $152M. The firm is currently regarded a world leader in the design and optimization of rare cannabinoids.

 

The pharmaceutical firm has invented novel, proprietary, water-soluble prodrugs of the most promising botanical molecules existing today. Its prodrugs overcome the above fundamental limitations intrinsic to botanical molecules and enable for the first time the exploitation of the vast intrinsic therapeutic power of botanical Schedule 1 molecules.

 

GMVP has acquired five proprietary preclinical prodrugs: a mushroom-derived psychedelic molecule for treatment post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, a novel cannabinoid for treatment of addiction and three additional novel cannabinoid prodrugs addressing clinical indications of refractory epilepsy, burn wounds and uveitis.

 

GMVP also owns a currently approved nutraceutical complex specially designed and formulated to contribute and help maintain normal energy metabolism, improve mood and reduce fatigue for those suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Already with approval to sell throughout Europe, we hope to launch this product in multiple markets around the globe in 2022.

 

GMVP’s drug portfolio uniquely positions GMVP to capitalize on the growing global demand for pharmaceutical Schedule 1 drugs.

 

Cash Flows

 

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our company obtaining additional capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we could be forced to significantly curtail or cease operations.

 

We have only realized nominal revenues from our business. In the next 12 months, we plan to identify business to whom we can license and/or distribute our brand, Mioxal® product as well as seek additional opportunities to continue as a going concern.

 

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, the COVID-19 has spread globally including across North America and the United States. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020. Specifically, we caution that our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the outbreak of COVID-19. To date, COVID has directly impacted the ability we have to participate in trade show events and other in-person marketing. The risk of a pandemic, or public perception of the risk, could cause customers to avoid public places, including retail properties, and could cause temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our inventory to customers. Further, such risks could also adversely affect retail customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on premium products.

Expenses. Our operating expenses were $361,072 and $58,834 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of $302,238 was primarily attributable our November 5, 2021 asset acquisition from ST BioSciences, Ltd., (“STB”).

The $301,312 increase in other income was attributable to a $143,956 gain on extinguishment a promissory notes payable, a 173,154 decrease in expenses related to our convertible notes payable and preferred stock warrants for the change in fair value of the derivative liability and interest accretion, a $3,887 decrease in net interest expense on our notes payable, notes receivable and four convertible notes payable, offset by a $17,598 increase in impairment expense from our inventory and fixed asset write-off, and an $2,087 decrease in other income.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, we used net cash of $353,764 from operating activities, primarily attributable to our November 5, 2021 asset acquisition from ST BioSciences, Ltd.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, we used net cash of $850,000 from investing activities, for our November 5, 2021 asset acquisition from ST BioSciences, Ltd.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, cash of $4,000,000 was provided from financing activities for our Series B-1 Convertible Stock financing.

 

Assets

 

We had total assets of $84,378,669 as of November 30, 2021, which consisted of $2,933,712 cash, prepaid expenses of $15,450, trademarks of $1,680, and intangibles asset of $81,427,827 from our November 5, 2021 asset acquisition from ST BioSciences, Ltd.

 

The cash of $2,933,712 is attributable to our Series B-1 Convertible Stock financing for $4,000,000. For a further discussion, see Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. 

 

Liabilities

 

We had total liabilities of $40,325,421 as of November 30, 2021 consisting of accounts payable of $437,041, accrued expenses of $103,298, Mioxal liability of $28,500,000, note payable, current portion of $10,000, dividends payable of $275,085 for our Series B and Series B-1 Convertible Preferred stock and long-term Mioxal liability of $11,000,000. With the November 5, 2021 asset acquisition from ST BioSciences, Ltd., the Company assumed current and long-term liabilities of $39,923,000 for Mioxal and accounts payable.

 

Going Concern

 

To date the Company only generated nominal revenues and consequently has incurred recurring losses from operations. We do not have sufficient funds to support our daily operations for the next twelve (12) months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund our business model and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business model and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of November 30, 2021 as a result of continuing weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on December 10, 2021.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
