Better Choice Company Inc.
(Formerly Sport Endurance, Inc.)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2001 under the name Cayenne Construction, Inc., and in 2009 changed our name to Sport Endurance, Inc. Effective March 11, 2019, we changed our name to Better Choice Company Inc. after reincorporating in Delaware.
The Company previously marketed for sale three sport nutritional products which it suspended in March 2018. On March 14, 2018, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Yield Endurance, Inc. (“Yield”), entered into a series of agreements under which Yield borrowed $5 million of bitcoin (“BTC”). The Company simultaneously entered into transactions with Madison Partners LLC and Prism Funding Co. LP to lend the BTC to third parties. On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into a series of restructuring agreements to unwind the BTC transactions thereby exiting the BTC and cryptocurrency markets.
Effective March 11, 2019, Sport Endurance, Inc. merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Better Choice Company Inc., a Delaware corporation. As a result, the name of Sport Endurance, Inc. was changed to Better Choice Company Inc. Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Sport Endurance, Inc. converted into one share of common stock of Better Choice Company Inc. and each outstanding share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E”) of Sport Endurance, Inc. converted into one share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Better Choice Company Inc.
On December 17, 2018, the Company made a $2,200,000 investment in TruPet LLC, an online seller of pet foods, flea and tick products, pet nutritional products and related pet supplies. On February 2, 2019 and February 29, 2019, respectively, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire the remainder of TruPet LLC and all of the outstanding shares of Bona Vida, Inc., an emerging hemp based CBD platform focused on developing a portfolio of brand and product verticals within the animal health and wellness space. The definitive agreements are based on various conditions being met including completion of a financing. While the Company believes it is close to completing the financing and closing the acquisitions, no assurances can be given that we will close these transactions.
On March 14, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a one-for-26 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The Amendment took effect on March 15, 2019. No fractional shares will be issued or distributed as a result of the Amendment. These financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.
Our auditors note that the absence of revenues and operations, in the audit report for the year ended August 31, 2018 dated December 21, 2018, is a going concern. The going concern statement opinion issued by the independent auditors is the result of a lack of operations and working capital.
The Company cannot pay its short-term liabilities and will need to raise capital which concerned the independent auditors because there is insufficient cash for operations for the next 12 months. If we cannot raise sufficient capital, we will cease operations. See Note 2, “Going Concern” for more information.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31, 2018 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2018. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of August 31st.
All amounts referred to in the notes to the financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
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 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of warrants and options issued, the fair value of conversion features, the recognition of revenue, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. At February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018, the uninsured balances amounted to $0.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost by the first-in, first-out method or net realizable value. The Company had 0 and 2,432 containers of “Ultra Peak T” included in inventory at February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On September 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. Under this transition method, results for reporting periods beginning September 1, 2018 or later are presented under ASC 606, while prior period results continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance. The cumulative effect of the initial application of ASC 606 was immaterial, no adjustment was recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The timing of revenue recognition for our revenue stream was not materially impacted by the adoption of this standard. The Company believes its business processes, systems, and controls are appropriate to support recognition and disclosure under ASC 606. In addition, the adoption has led to increased footnote disclosures. Overall, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019. ASC 606 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. As described below, the analysis of contracts under ASC 606 supports the recognition of revenue at a point in time, resulting in revenue recognition timing that is materially consistent with the Company’s historical practice of recognizing product revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer.
Policy
The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped through a third party fulfillment center to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. A five-step analysis a must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
Contract Assets
The Company does not have any contract assets such as work-in-process. All trade receivables on the Company’s condensed balance sheet are from contracts with customers.
Contract Costs
Costs incurred to obtain a contract are capitalized unless short term in nature. As a practical expedient, costs to obtain a contract that are short term in nature are expensed as incurred. The Company does not have any contract costs capitalized as of February 28, 2019.
Contract Liabilities - Deferred Revenue
The Company’s contract liabilities may consist of advance customer payments and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue results from transactions in which the Company has been paid for products by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues are recognized.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. Accounting guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements, under which a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accordingly, the Company would report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company elects to recognize any interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. As of the completion of these unaudited condensed financial statements, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects of the Tax Act. This estimate incorporates assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretation of the Tax Act, and may change as the Company may receive additional clarification and implementation guidance and as the interpretation of the Tax Act evolves. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company will finalize the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. Future adjustments made to the provisional effects will be reported as a component of income tax expense in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined. Based on the new tax law that lowers corporate tax rates, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets. Future tax benefits are expected to be lower, with the corresponding one time charge being recorded as a component of income tax expense.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820–10 to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820–10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820–10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.
The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10 are described below:
Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);
Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets include cash.
These financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Derivative Financial Instruments
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re- measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (see note 7).
Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument using effective interest method.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.
The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016–02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its unaudited condensed financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception”. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has determined that adopting this pronouncement will not have a material effect on its unaudited condensed financial statements.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted a tax bill, H.R.1, An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017). Stakeholders raised a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ASU 2018-02 is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2018-210—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which has been deleted. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.
ASU 2018-05 Accounting Standards Update adds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which expresses the view of the staff regarding application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017 - the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1, An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018) was signed into law. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-13 on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance is effective for public entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.
Removals
The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820:
|
1. |
The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy |
|
2. |
The policy for timing of transfers between levels |
|
3. |
The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements |
|
4. |
For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. |
Modifications
The following disclosure requirements were modified in Topic 820:
|
1. |
In lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities. |
|
2. |
For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly. |
|
3. |
The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. |
Additions
The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820; however, the disclosures are not required for nonpublic entities:
|
1. |
The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period |
|
|
|
|
2. |
The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. |
In addition, the amendments eliminate at a minimum from the phrase an entity shall disclose at a minimum to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditors when evaluating disclosure requirements.
The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The impact of this ASU on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements is not expected to be material.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our unaudited condensed financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 2 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $5,720,130 and working capital deficit of $2,596,605 as of February 28, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues including entering into definitive agreements to acquire the remainder of TruPet LLC and all of the outstanding shares of Bona Vida, Inc. In addition, the Company is currently seeking to raise $15 million in an ongoing offering to fund operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure this financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Discontinued Operations
On August 21, 2018, the Company cancelled all of the business agreements, related to Yield and entered into a Restructuring Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, the parties agreed to (a) assign to Madison all of the capital stock of Yield to provide for the continuation of the business of Yield as a subsidiary of Madison, (b) terminate the Guaranty Agreement by and between the Company and Prism, and (c) cancel 576,923 of the 961,538 warrants issued to Prism in connection with the note purchase agreement. On the Effective Date, the Company’s liability for the senior note issued pursuant to the note purchase agreement was extinguished.
There are no continuing cash inflows our outflows to or from the discontinued operations.

Note 4 – Investment in TruPet
On December 17, 2018 the Company acquired a minority interest in TruPet. The Company invested $2,200,000 into TruPet and acquired a Series A Membership Interest equal to approximately 6.7% of the Membership Interests. The Company is entitled to appoint one of the five managers and certain preferential informational rights. The Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remainder of TruPet in February 2019. The definitive agreement is based on various conditions being met including completion of a financing. While the Company believes it is close to completing the financing and closing the acquisition, no assurances can be given that we will close this transaction.
Note 5 – Dividends Payable
On May 30, 2018, the Company issued 803,969.73 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock with a stated value of $0.99 per share for a total stated value of $795,930 (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock accrued dividends at the rate of 10% per annum on the stated value. During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company accrued dividends payable in the amount of $20,280 on the Series B Preferred Stock. From the period September 1, 2018 to October 22, 2018, the Company accrued an additional $11,339 in dividends payable. At October 22, 2018, the amount of dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Stock was $31,619. On October 22, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction whereby the Company exchanged all of its convertible debt and all Series B Preferred Stock outstanding for Series E Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Agreement”, see note 10). At October 22, 2018, dividends payable in the amount of $31,619 was outstanding in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock; this amount was converted to Series E Preferred Stock in connection with the Exchange Agreement.
On October 22, 2018, the Company authorized 2,900,000 shares of its Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company accrued dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock in the amounts of $68,787 and $109,934 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. The amount of $97,504 appears as dividends payable on the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet at February 28, 2019.

Note 8 – Derivative Liability
The Company has entered into convertible note agreements containing beneficial conversion features and warrants. The convertible notes include a ratchet reset provision which allows the note holders to reduce the conversion price should the Company issue equity with an effective price per share that is lower than the stated conversion price in the note agreement (see Note 9). The Company accounts for the fair value of this conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging and EITF 07-05, which provides that the embedded derivatives should be bundled and valued as a single, compound embedded derivative bifurcate treated as a derivative liability. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component in its results of operations.
The conversion feature embedded within these convertible notes is a financial derivative and GAAP requires that this embedded conversion option be accounted for at fair value.
During the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company sold 1,425,641 shares of common stock and 712,820 two-year warrants to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $3.90 per share for total proceeds of $2,657,099, net of issuance costs. The warrant holders have an option to settle in cash in the event of a change of control of the Company. The Company considers these warrants a derivative liability, and calculated the fair value of this liability utilizing a lattice model that values the warrant based upon a probability weighted discounted cash flow model.
The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the six months ended February 28, 2019:

The Company derivative warrants were fair valued as of issuance and as of February 28, 2019 with the following assumptions:
- The quoted stock price ranged from of $2.75 to $10.14 and would fluctuate with the Company historic volatility;
- The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company and the term remaining for each Warrant – the volatility ranged from 198-213%.
- The full reset events projected to occur based on future financing events on March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2019 resulting in a potential reset exercise price.
- Adjustments to warrants exercise prices have not occurred to date due to reset events.
- A fundamental transaction was projected to potentially occur on 4/30/19 or 12/31/19. The likelihood of such an event was estimated at 85% for the 4/30/19 event as of December/January 2019 increasing to 95% by 2/28/19. The 12/31/19 event was estimated at 50% for all dates.
- The option to force early exercise was estimated at 0% since it was unlikely that the Company would meet the registration and trading volume requirements necessary to trigger the option.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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 (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following summarized the Company’s financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2019 and August 31, 2018.

Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Sport Endurance, Inc. converted into one share of common stock of Better Choice Company Inc. and each outstanding share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Sport Endurance, Inc. converted into one share of Series E of Better Choice Company Inc.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2001 under the name Cayenne Construction, Inc., and in 2009 changed our name to Sport Endurance, Inc. Effective March 11, 2019, we changed our name to Better Choice Company Inc. after reincorporating in Delaware.
The Company previously marketed for sale three sport nutritional products which it suspended in March 2018. On March 14, 2018, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Yield Endurance, Inc. (“Yield”), entered into a series of agreements under which Yield borrowed $5 million of bitcoin (“BTC”). The Company simultaneously entered into transactions with Madison Partners LLC and Prism Funding Co. LP to lend the BTC to third parties. On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into a series of restructuring agreements to unwind the BTC transactions thereby exiting the BTC and cryptocurrency markets.
Effective March 11, 2019, Sport Endurance, Inc. merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Better Choice Company Inc., a Delaware corporation. As a result, the name of Sport Endurance, Inc. was changed to Better Choice Company Inc. Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Sport Endurance, Inc. converted into one share of common stock of Better Choice Company Inc. and each outstanding share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E”) of Sport Endurance, Inc. converted into one share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of Better Choice Company Inc.
On December 17, 2018, the Company made a $2,200,000 investment in TruPet LLC, an online seller of pet foods, flea and tick products, pet nutritional products and related pet supplies. On February 2, 2019 and February 29, 2019, respectively, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire the remainder of TruPet LLC and all of the outstanding shares of Bona Vida, Inc., an emerging hemp based CBD platform focused on developing a portfolio of brand and product verticals within the animal health and wellness space. The definitive agreements are based on various conditions being met including completion of a financing. While the Company believes it is close to completing the financing and closing the acquisitions, no assurances can be given that we will close these transactions.
On March 14, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a one-for-26 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The Amendment took effect on March 15, 2019. No fractional shares will be issued or distributed as a result of the Amendment. These financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise specified.
For the six months ended February 28, 2019, we had a net income of $339,161 compared to a net loss of $1,062,194 for the six months ended February 28, 2018. Our accumulated deficit as of February 28, 2019 was $5,720,130. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended February 28, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
The Company had sales of $0 during the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to $261 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The Company had cost of goods sold in the amount of $0 for gross profit of $0 during the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to cost of goods sold in the amount of $184 for gross profit of $77 during the three months ended February 28, 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $388,905 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 compared to $66,479 for the three months ended February 28, 2018, an increase of $322,426. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and accounting fees, and the value of stock options vested during the period.
Interest expense
Net interest expense for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $368 compared to $768,129 for the three months ended February 28, 2018, a decrease of $767,761. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in debt on the Company’s balance sheet.
Excess value of warrants liability over net proceeds from the sale of common stock at inception
The excess value of warrants for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $3,675,385 compared to $0 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The increase was due to the value of warrants issued with a private placement of common stock in excess of the amount of cash received.
Gain on exchange of debt and equity
During the three months ended February 28, 2018, the Company recorded a non-cash gain in the amount of $139,323 on exchange of certain convertible notes for a new convertible note. There were no such comparable transactions during the three months ended February 28, 2019.
Change in fair value of derivative liability
The Company had a non-cash gain of $3,898,599 on revaluation of derivative liabilities during the three months ended February 28, 2019, compared to a non-cash loss of $256,286 for the three months ended February 28, 2018. The increased gain was due to a decrease in the Company’s stock price and to the additional derivative liabilities outstanding at February 28, 2019 related to the Company’s warrants.
Net loss
For the reasons above, our net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2019 was $166,059, a decrease of $785,435 compared to a loss of $951,494 for the three months ended February 28, 2018.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended February 28, 2019 and 2018

Selling, general and administrative expenses

The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and accounting fees, and the value of stock options vested during the period.

The excess value of warrants for the six months ended February 28, 2019 was $3,675,385 compared to $0 for the six months ended February 28, 2018. The increase was due to the value of warrants issued with a private placement of common stock in excess of the amount of cash received.
Gain on exchange of debt and equity
During the six months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash gain in the amount of $472,267 on exchange of debt and equity to preferred stock, an increase of $332,944 compared to a gain on exchange of certain convertible notes for a new convertible note during the six months ended February 28, 2018 in the amount of $139,323.

The increased gain was due to a decrease in the Company’s stock price and to the additional derivative liabilities outstanding at February 28, 2019 related to the Company’s warrants.

The Company had cash used in operating activities of $497,233 during the six months ended February 28, 2019. This primarily consisted of the Company’s net income of $339,161, decreased by non-cash gain on exchange of debt and equity of $472,267 and by a change in the market value of derivative liabilities in the amount of $4,212,621, offset by excess value of warrants liability over net proceeds from the sale of common stock at inception of $3,675,385, value of options vested of $51,660, and amortization of discount on convertible debt in the amount of $118,707. The Company’s cash position also increased by $2,742 as a result of changes in components of current assets and current liabilities.
During the six months ended February 28, 2019, the Company used $2,200,000 of cash in investing activities in connection with its investment in TruPet.
During the six months ended February 28, 2019, the Company had cash provided by financing activities in the amount of $2,605,495, consisting of the cash received from the sale of common stock of $2,657,099 (net of costs in the amount of $122,741), partially offset by the purchase of $51,604 of common stock from shareholders.
The Company had $48,842 of cash as of April 9, 2019 which is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. In addition, it is not likely we can complete an acquisition including those described above, without completing a financing. The amount and type of financing and its dilution to existing shareholders cannot be determined at this time. If the Company is able to raise $15 million it is seeking in an ongoing offering and complete the TruPet and Bona Vida acquisitions, current investors will own 14% of the Company on a fully diluted basis. No assurances can be given that the Company will complete the financing or the two acquisitions.
We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next 12 months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, the risks described in our Form 10-K filed on December 21, 2018.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Report contains forward-looking statements including statements regarding our ability to acquire TruPet and Bona Vida, complete a material financing, and our liquidity. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy, the acquisition of TruPet, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include those relating to the condition of the capital markets and the ability of the parties to meet or waive key conditions to the closing of the two acquisitions. Other risks are contained in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Going Concern
Our unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $5,720,130 and working capital deficit of $2,596,605 at February 28, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues including entering into definitive agreements to acquire the remainder of TruPet LLC and all of the outstanding shares of Bona Vida, Inc. In addition, the Company is currently seeking to raise $15 million in an ongoing offering to fund operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure this financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Note 1 to our unaudited condensed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report includes Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”)’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Financial Officer, David Lelong, has 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 report. Based on the evaluation, Mr. Lelong concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:
|
● |
The Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties; |
|
● |
All of our financial reporting is carried out by our financial consultant; |
|
● |
We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company. |
We plan to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this Report to our knowledge, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations and there are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
This item is not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
