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.

 

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 (“ENDS”) and related components (the “Products”) manufactured by Bidi Vapor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Bidi”), a related party company that is also owned by Nirajkumar Patel, the Chief Executive 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 and again on April 20, 2021 (collectively the “A&R Distribution Agreement”) in order to clarify some of the provisions. 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” and, once launched, the “BIDI® Pouch”.

  

In connection with the A&R Distribution Agreement, the Company entered into non-exclusive sub-distribution agreements, some of 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 August 31, 2020, the Company formed Kaival Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein referred to as “Kaival Labs”), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On July 16, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-12 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on July 20, 2021. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of Common Stock that would have otherwise resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved appropriate and proportional adjustments to all outstanding securities or other rights convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, all preferred stock, warrants, options, and other equity compensation rights. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout our consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this Quarterly Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as if the split occurred as of the earliest period presented. The par value per share of the Common Stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

COVID-19 Impact

 

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originating 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.

 

The Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted. No impairments have been recorded and no triggering events or changes in circumstances had occurred. While the spread of COVID-19 has begun to slow and social restrictions have begun to ease, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and remains uncertain. As such, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting impact, if any, on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations is uncertain. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on the Company’s 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 the Company’s suppliers) could have a material adverse effect on its business operations and financial performance. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the current fiscal year. As of the date of this filing, the Company’s recently commenced business operations have not been materially impacted, however, we have encountered some logistical delays related to product launches and distribution in international markets. The Company was also indirectly impacted by supply chain issues and regulatory oversight.
