Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2018 and 2017

(unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Gala Pharmaceutical Inc. (formerly Gala Global Inc.) (the “Company” or “GPI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010. The Company provides Testing or Analytical Chemistry tools for chemical, plant, soil, and liquid composition analysis. GPI provides analysis of compositional traits for hemp and cannabis products (cannabinoid, terpenes, pesticides, residual solvents and microbial). The analysis is being done at certified labs with persistent results.

 

The Company also provides genetic “fingerprinting” and “sequencing” of various crop species. This fingerprinting allows for storing genetic fingerprint information into a proprietary database. Customers can access genetic fingerprint data which can be used for predictive breeding applications and for protecting intellectual property (IP). Additionally, the Company provides consulting on testing lab designs and SOPs.

 

Going Concern

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at August 31, 2018, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,245,557, an accumulated deficit of $4,907,251, and has a convertible debenture that is currently in default. Refer to Note 6. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

(b)Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, 51% of Gala Pharmaceuticals California, Inc. (“Gala California”) from February 7, 2018 (date of incorporation) and 100% of Gala Labs, Inc. from July 11, 2018 (date of incorporation) as well as Cannabis Ventures, Inc. (USA) and Cannabis Ventures Inc. (Canada) from June 26, 2014 (date of incorporation) until the sale of those subsidiaries on June 20, 2018. Refer to Note 3. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation and the proportionate net income/loss on the 49% non-controlling interest has been deducted from the Company’s net loss on the consolidated statement of operations commencing with a corresponding entry within stockholders’ deficit.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(c)Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the nine months ended August 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2018. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2017 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

 

(d)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of inventory, valuation of derivative liability and share-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

(e)Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company had 5,920,263 and 4,893,819 (three and nine months ended August 31, 2017 - 823,671 and 484,246) potentially issuable shares from an outstanding convertible note.

 

(f)Revenue Recognition Policy

 

The Company recognizes and accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 605 as a principal on the sale of goods. Pursuant to ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed and determinable, risk of ownership has passed to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The Company considered ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, and determined that the Company acts as a principal in its revenue-earnings activities as they are responsible for the production of goods purchased by the customer, can determine the pricing costs, goods purchased are paid directly by the Company, and has a credit risk with respect to collection of amounts owed by its customers.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(g)Fair Value Measurements

 

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, amounts due to and from related parties, liabilities for shares issuable – related party, and convertible debentures. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

The following table represents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized in fair value as of August 31, 2018, on a recurring basis:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(h)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

3.Sale of Subsidiaries

 

On June 20, 2018, the Company approved the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cannabis Ventures, Inc. (USA) and Cannabis Ventures, Inc. (Canada) including any and all of its rights, title and interest in exchange for 2,000,000 common shares of Greengro Technologies Inc., a company with common shareholders, at the fair value of $71,800, which has been recorded as a gain on sale of subsidiaries since the subsidiaries had no assets or liabilities.

 

4.Deferred Compensation

 

Deferred compensation is comprised of common shares issued to officers and directors of the Company for compensation services. As at August 31, 2018, deferred compensation of $125,000 (November 30, 2017 - $165,854) was recorded within shareholders’ equity. During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded an additional $172,500 (August 31, 2017 - $520,000) of deferred compensation costs and recorded an expense of $213,353 (August 31, 2017 - $210,777) of deferred compensation costs to the consolidated statement of operations.

As at November 30, 2017, the Company had accumulated amortization of $6,808. During the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded $2,723 (August 31, 2017 - $nil) of amortization expense. During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded $8,177 (August 31, 2017 - $nil) of amortization expense.

 

6.Convertible Debentures

 

  (a) On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with a non-related party for proceeds of $280,000, net of an original issuance discount and legal fees of $30,000 which were capitalized and amortized over the period of the convertible debenture. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and was due on November 30, 2017. The promissory note is convertible into common shares at the lesser of: (a) $0.35; or (b) 65% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares in the 20 days preceding the notice of conversion limited by a conversion floor price of $0.05 per share.

 

The embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a full discount of the $250,000 based on the net proceeds received from promissory note.

During the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company incurred operating expenses of $308,806 compared to operating expenses of $286,804 during the three months ended August 31, 2017. The increase in operating expenses was due to an increase of $79,276 in consulting expenses which was due to recognition of deferred compensation owed to officers and directors of the Company which was offset by decreases of $68,647 in general and administrative expense as the Company issued common shares to a related party in the prior year for legal services which resulted in higher than normal overhead costs.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $716,907 during the three months ended August 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $695,189 during the three months ended August 31, 2017. In addition to operating expenses, the Company recorded interest expense of $22,421 and a loss on the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $477,174 which was a result of the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature on the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures, which was offset by a gain of $71,800 on the sale of the Cannabis Ventures (USA) Inc. and Cannabis Ventures (Canada) Inc. subsidiaries during the period, as well as a gain of $23,694 on the settlement of outstanding convertible notes that were converted during the period. During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company incurred interest expense of $89,656, incurred a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $197,308, and incurred a loss on settlement of notes payable of $121,421 including a loss of $28,371 for related party notes payable.

 

Nine Months Ended August 31, 2018 and 2017

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company incurred operating expenses of $1,241,207 compared to operating expenses of $417,137 during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. The increase in operating expenses was due to $940,475 of consulting expenses including $560,335 to related parties for consulting services. These amounts included 5,000,000 common shares issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as a compensation bonus with a fair value of $200,000, $112,500 of common shares issuable, of which $90,000 is recorded as deferred compensation, to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company for annual incentive shares that were issuable as of June 2018 (issued in September 2018), issuance of 1,500,000 common shares to a director with a fair value of $60,000, of which $35,000 was recorded as deferred compensation, as well as the recognition of $213,353 of deferred compensation for shares which were previously issued. The Company also had an increase in general and administrative expenses of $80,312, which was due to additional costs that were incurred in the first two quarters of fiscal 2018 as the Company was transitioning management and business and operating strategies. Furthermore, the Company incurred more professional fees related to accounting and audit services as the amount of transactions in the Company and overall operations increased compared to prior year, and an increase in rent expense of $29,803 as the Company has a new head office space which is larger than the previous head office location and also had a new office lease in the current quarter for Gala Pharmaceutical California Inc in Long Beach, California.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,698,303 during the nine months ended August 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $1,099,662 during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. In addition to operating expenses, the Company recorded interest expense of $56,428, a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $588,364, and a gain on settlement of debt of $118,437, a gain of $71,800 on the sale of the Cannabis Ventures (USA) Inc. and Cannabis Ventures (Canada) Inc. subsidiaries, as well as a net loss attributed to non-controlling interest in Gala Pharmaceuticals (California) of $9,621. During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, the Company incurred interest expense of $265,430, a loss on settlement of debt of $93,050 along with a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $207,340. Overall, interest expense decreased as the Company had less accretion expense for the beneficial conversion feature of the convertibility terms on the outstanding notes payable, but experienced a greater loss on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as the Company had more fluctuations and volatility in their share price during fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017.

Net Loss

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,688,682 or $0.03 loss per share compared to a net loss of $1,099,662 and loss per share of $0.06 during the nine months ended August 31, 2017.

The increase in working capital deficit was due to an increase in the derivative liability as the Company added 2 new convertible debentures during the current period that increased the fair value of the conversion feature in the convertible debentures.

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company issued the following common shares:

Going Concern

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in note (1) of the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its mineral leases and claims and our ability to obtain final government permission to complete the project.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Derivative Liability

 

From time to time, the Company may issue equity instruments that may contain an embedded derivative instrument which may result in a derivative liability. A derivative liability exists on the date the equity instrument is issued when there is a contingent exercise provision. The derivative liability is records at is fair value calculated by using an option pricing model such as a multi-nominal lattice model. The fair value of the derivative liability is then calculated on each balance sheet date with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Beneficial Conversion Features

 

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe that the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations as reported in its financial statements.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Our Internal control over financial reporting is a process that, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, was designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our trustees; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that our controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in internal controls.

 

Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
