Organization and Description of Business

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

 

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.

 

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 voting 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.

 

Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement

 

On August 19, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement (the “Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement”) with its controlling stockholder, KH.

 

Pursuant to the Share Cancellation and Exchange Agreement, KH returned to the Company 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Cancellation Shares”), which Cancellation Shares were cancelled and retired by the Company. Following such cancellation, KH owns 204,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On August 19, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which authorized a total of 3,000,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share, of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock ”).  All series of preferred stock, whether now or hereafter designated, may by their respective terms have a preference over the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of distribution upon liquidation, dividends, or any other right or matter. The number of shares so designated is three million (3,000,000) shares, par value $0.001 per share, and such amount cannot be increased except by the favorable vote or the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or by a resolution of the Board of Directors. Such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be decreased by the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or by a resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of the shares then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options, or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Company. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock do not have any preferential dividend rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends, if any, only if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights. At any time on or after November 1, 2023, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to November 1, 2023 if any of the following events occur: (i) a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or (ii) any other event as determined and agreed to by the Company and by the holders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one hundred shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. 

 

In exchange for the Cancellation Shares the Company issued 3,000,000 shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of its newly designated Series A Preferred Stock to KH. The exchange of the Cancellation Shares and the issuance of the Preferred Shares was intended to comply with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in that the issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Act because the exchange of the Cancellation Shares for the Preferred Shares was an exchange between the Company, as issuer, with an existing stockholder, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly for the exchange.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has 277,282,630 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

  

Description of Business

 

The Company is focused on growing and incubating innovative and profitable products into mature, dominant brands. In March 2020, the Company commenced business operations as a result of becoming the exclusive distributor of certain electronic nicotine delivery systems and related components (the “Products”) manufactured by Bidi Vapor, LLC (“Bidi”), a Florida limited liability company, and a related party company that is also owned by Nirajkumar Patel, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 

On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Bidi, a related party company, which Distribution Agreement was amended and restated on May 21, 2020 (the “A&R Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Distribution Agreement, Bidi granted the Company an exclusive worldwide right to distribute the Products for sale and resale to both retail level customers and non-retail level customers. Currently, the Products consist primarily of the “Bidi Stick.”

 

In connection with the A&R Distribution Agreement, the Company entered into non-exclusive sub-distribution agreements, which were subsequently amended and restated by the parties in order to clarify certain provisions (all such agreements, as amended and restated, are collectively referred to as the “A&R Sub-Distribution Agreements”), whereby the Company appointed the counterparties as non-exclusive sub-distributors. Pursuant to the A&R Sub-Distribution Agreements, the sub-distributors agreed to purchase for resale the Products in such quantities as they should need to properly service non-retail customers within the continental United States (the “Territory”).

 

On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a service agreement (the “Service Agreement”) with QuikfillRx LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“QuikfillRx”), whereby QuikfillRx has agreed to provide the Company with certain services and support relating to sales management, website development and design, graphics, content, public communication, social media, management and analytics, and market and other research (collectively, the “Services”). The Services will be provided by QuikfillRx as requested from time to time by the Company.

 

On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Service Agreement (the “First Amendment” and, collectively with the Service Agreement, the “Amended Service Agreement”) with QuikfillRx.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, the parties modified the amount of General Compensation (as defined below) to be paid to QuikfillRx. “General Compensation” consists of the following: (i) for the Services provided in March 2020, the Company paid QuikfillRx an amount equal to $86,000; (ii) for the Services provided in April 2020, the Company paid QuikfillRx an amount equal to $100,000; (iii) each calendar month commencing May 2020 through October 2020, the Company will pay QuikfillRx an amount equal to $125,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month; (iv) if the parties agree to extend the term of the Amended Service Agreement beyond the original expiration date of October 31, 2020, then for the period between November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021, the Company will pay QuikfillRx $125,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month; and (iv) if the parties agree to extend the term of the Amended Service Agreement beyond October 31, 2021, then for the period between November 1, 2021 and October 31, 2022, the Company will pay QuikfillRx $150,000 per month for the Services to be performed during such calendar month.

 

COVID-19

 

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of COVID-19, which originated in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure.

 

As of the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements, our operations have not been significantly impacted. No impairments were recorded as of July 31, 2020 and no triggering events or changes in circumstances had occurred. However, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve subsequent to the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020 and as of the date these unaudited financial statements are issued. As such, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting impact, if any, on our financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations is uncertain. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and customers. Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at our suppliers) could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial performance. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and beyond. As of the date of this filing, our recently commenced business operations have not been impacted.
