Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business:

 

Nature of Business – Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc., (the “Company”), formerly The 4Less Group, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company, under the name MedCareers Group, Inc. (“MCGI”) formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.

 

On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.

 

4LESS was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad, LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status. The Corporation operates as an e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company. As a result of the share exchange, The 4Less Group, Inc. is now a holding company operating through 4LESS and offers products including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, and shocks. On December 30, 2019 4LESS changed its name to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc. On April 28, 2022 the Company changed its name from The 4Less Group, Inc. to Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc.

 

Significant Accounting Policies:

 

The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2023 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 11, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

The condensed financial statements include the accounts of Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc. as well as The Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., and JBJ Wholesale LLC. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods.

 

Concentrations

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2023 the Company purchased approximately 50% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from one vendors. As of April 30, 2023, the net amount due to one vendors included in accounts payable was $322,392. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company purchased from three vendors approximately 52% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties. As of April 30, 2022, the net amount due to these vendors included in accounts payable was $433,897. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should a supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.

 

Leases

 

We elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. In our application of hindsight, we evaluated the performance of the leased stores and the associated markets in relation to our overall real estate strategies, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets were revalued based on the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. A corresponding offset has been made to the valuation allowance, and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects on the Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.

 

The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

 

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2023:

 

    April 30, 2023   Quoted Prices in
Active Markets
For Identical
Assets
(Level 1)
  Significant
Other
Observable
Inputs
(Level 2)
  Significant
Unobservable
Inputs
(Level 3)
 
Liabilities:                          
Derivative Liabilities – embedded redemption feature   $ 4,493,374   $   $   $ 4,493,374  
Totals   $ 4,493,374   $   $   $ 4,493,374  

 

Related Party Transactions:

 

The Company has a verbal policy that includes procedures intended to ensure compliance with the related party provisions in common practice for public companies. For purposes of the policy, a “related party transaction” is a transaction in which the Company or any one of its subsidiaries participates and in which a related party has a direct or indirect material interest, other than ordinary course, arms-length transactions of less than 1% of the revenue of the counterparty. Any transaction exceeding the 1% threshold, and any transaction involving consulting, financial advisory, legal or accounting services that could impair a director’s independence, must be approved by the CEO. Any related party transaction in which an executive officer or a Director has a personal interest, or which could present a possible conflict under the Guide to Ethical Conduct, must be approved by Board of Directors, following appropriate disclosure of all material aspects of the transaction.

 

Derivative Liability

 

The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 9), the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of April 30, 2023 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date.  The other inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue: Channel Revenue

 

The following table shows revenue split between proprietary and third-party website revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022:

 

            Change  
    2023   2022   $   %  
Proprietary website and marketplace revenue   $ 106,833     1,236,243   $ (1,129,410 ) (91% )
Third-party website revenue     29,231     493,687     (464,456 ) (94% )
Total Revenue   $ 136,064   $ 1,729,930   $ (1,593,866 ) (92% )

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product and commissions on sales from the new consumer marketplace autopart4less.com. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders, and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock options at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share:

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“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 give 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 to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance removes the separation model for convertible debt instruments and preferred stock, amends requirements for conversion options to be classified in equity as well as amends diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculations for certain convertible debt instruments. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in 2022. The application of the amendments in the new guidance are to be applied either on a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In addition to the above, the Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and subsequently issued clarifying amendments. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis at any time between January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires acquiring entities to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in 2023 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted on a retrospective basis to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent upon the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations.

 

In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance to increase the transparency of transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance requires annual disclosures of such transactions to include the nature of the transactions and the significant terms and conditions, the accounting treatment and the impact to the company’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning in 2022 and is to be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL POSITION

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $49,107,549 as of April 30, 2023 and has a working capital deficit at April 30, 2023 of $23,136,653. As of April 30, 2023, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents of $53,713 and approximately $14,085,000 of short-term loans and convertible debt in default. The short-term loans and debt and convertible debt agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. While the Company has plans to grow its revenues through the new website, at this time, our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management’s plan is to raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity in order to continue to fund losses until such time as revenues can sustain the Company. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in being able to continue to obtain additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY

 

The Company capitalizes all property purchases over $1,000 and depreciates the assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 3 years for computers and 7 years for all other assets. Property consists of the following at April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023:

 

    April 30, 2023   January 31, 2023  
Office furniture, fixtures and equipment   $ 95,183   $ 95,183  
Shop equipment     43,004     43,004  
Vehicles     206,760     206,760  
Sub-total     344,947     344,947  
Less: Accumulated depreciation     (185,892 )   (173,475 )
Total Property   $ 159,055   $ 171,472  

 

Additions to fixed assets for the three months ended April 30, 2023 were $0. Additions to fixed assets for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $1,142.

 

Depreciation expense was $12,917 and 12,938 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 4 – LEASES

 

We lease certain warehouses and office space. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease and non-lease components.

 

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 17 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

 

Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023.

 

Leases   Classification   April 30, 2023   January 31, 2023  
Assets                  
Operating   Operating Lease Assets   $ 114,423   $ 138,551  
Liabilities                  
Current                  
Operating   Current Operating Lease Liability   $ 29,784   $ 53,912  
Noncurrent                  
Operating   Noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities     84,639     84,639  
Total lease liabilities       $ 114,423   $ 138,551  

 

Note: As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate of 8% based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

CAM charges were not included in operating lease expense and were expensed in general and administrative expenses as incurred.

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that certain features in some instruments should be classified as liabilities due to there being a variable number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The derivative features are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period or termination of the instrument with the change in fair value recorded to earnings. The fair value of the embedded conversion option and attached warrants resulted in a discount to the note on the debt modification date. For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $628,613 and $725,280, respectively.

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company added $90,028 and $0 in penalty interest to the loans, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2023, lenders converted $95,256 of principal, $7,965 of interest, derivative of $ 81,429 and $2,600 of fees all totaling $187,249 into 434,434 common shares.

 

On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a convertible note for $77,000 with a one year maturity, interest rate of 12% with a warrant to purchase 388,884 common shares with a five year maturity and an exercise price of $0.25, and 50,000 common shares. The Company will receive $60,800 and recorded an original issue discount of $7,000 along with fees of $9,200, a derivative discount of 60,800 for the conversion feature, recognized $27,541 based on a relative fair value calculation as debt discount with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital for the attached warrants and shares. The Company expensed $13,428 as interest which was the amount of the derivative discount that exceeded the face value of the loan. The discount is amortized over the term of the loan. The note has certain default provisions such as failure to pay any principal or interest when due and failure to issue shares upon conversion. In the event of these or any other default provisions, the note becomes due and payable at 150%. The note is secured on all assets of the Company subordinated to a prior security.

 

In April 2023, the Company issued an amended and restated note replacing the July 5, 2022 $250,000 note with a January 5, 2023 maturity. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to acquire 97,221 shares with a $1.00 exercise price and a 5 year maturity, and the maturity of the note was revised to July 5, 2023. The terms of the amended note are that the Company received $70,000 with an original issue discount of $7,000 a derivative discount of $76,212 for the conversion feature, recognized $5,443 based on a relative fair value calculation as debt discount with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital for the attached warrants. The original note had cash proceeds of $225,000 and an original issue discount of $25,000, a derivative discount of $33,860 for the conversion feature, recognized $139,638 based on a relative fair value calculation as debt discount with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital for the attached warrants and shares, and transaction fees of $35,000. When combined with the original note, the total new note will now be for $327,000 having total cash proceeds of $295,000 and total original issue discount of $32,000 a derivative discount of $110,072 for the conversion feature, recognized $145,101 based on a relative fair value calculation as debt discount with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital for the attached warrants and shares and transaction fees of $35,000. The discount is amortized over the term of the loan. The note has certain default provisions such as failure to pay any principal or interest when due and failure to issue shares upon conversion.

 

As of April 30, 2023, the Company had $11,024,323 of convertible debt in default. The agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. The Company continues to accrue interest at the listed rates, and plans to seek their conversion or payoff within the next twelve months.

 

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, the Company had derivative liabilities of $4,493,374 and $3,271,058, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $1,006,700 and a loss of $337,737, respectively, from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. Any liabilities resulting from the warrants outstanding are immaterial.

 

The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input for valuing financial instruments.

 

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three months ended April 30, 2022. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs.

    Level 3  
    Derivatives  
Balance, January 31, 2023   $ 3,271,058  
Changes Due to Issuance of New Convertible Notes     297,045  
Changes due to Conversions of Notes Payable     (81,429 )
Mark to Market Change in Derivatives     1,006,700  
Balance, April 30, 2023   $ 4,493,374  

 

 

 

The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices which are linked to the trading and/or bid prices of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTC market.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using the lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s warrant liabilities and embedded conversion feature that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2023 is as follows:

 

    Embedded
Derivative Liability
As of
April 30, 2023
 
Strike price   $0.15 - 1.40  
Contractual term (years)   0.08 - 1.00 years  
Volatility (annual)   225% - 313.9%  
Underlying fair market value   $0.15  
Risk-free rate   10.78% - 11.25  
Dividend yield (per share)   0

Company

 

The Auto Parts 4Less Group Inc. (“FLES”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”), the Company described herein, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007, with offices located at 106 W Mayflower, Las Vegas, Nevada 89030. Our phone number is (702) 267-7100.

 

Nature of Business – Auto Parts 4Less Group Inc., formerly known The 4Less Group, Inc. and as MedCareers Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “MCGI”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007.

 

On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4Less Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018.  As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.

 

On November 19, 2019 The 4Less Group acquired the URL Autoparts4Less.com and changed the name of their wholly owned subsidiary from the 4Less Corp. to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc. On April 28, 2022 the Company changed its name from The 4LESS Group, Inc. to Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc.

 

Our Business

 

Like many small businesses, Christopher Davenport, the founder of Auto Parts 4Less (“4Less”) previously named The 4less Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc., began selling auto parts on eBay and shipping those items out of his garage in 2013.  What started out as a hobby, quickly grew into a fully functioning ecommerce aftermarket auto parts company that required a significant technical staff and facilities to support their growth. In June of 2015, they leased their first office.

 

Originally the company listed their auto parts in the different marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Jet.

Table of Contents

 

Starting in 2016 the company began investing to become their own ecommerce platform thereby allowing their auto parts to be direct listed across marketplace and social media sites. Technical achievements including CRM system, warehouse integration API, warehouse inventory software to name a few.

 

In 2019, shortly after the share exchange with MedCareers Group, Inc., with technology upgrades in place, 4Less began successfully moving majority of sales from third party marketplaces direct to their proprietary ecommerce web site Liftkits4Less.com. By doing so the company saves 8%-10% in fees charged by the major marketplace’s such as e-Bay and Amazon as well as further building the 4less brand as a leading ecommerce site for auto parts.

 

On November 19, 2019 the Company acquired the URL Autoparts4Less.com and changed the name of their wholly owned subsidiary from the 4Less Corp. to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc. With the acquisition of the URL AutoParts4Less.com, the Company also began focusing all of their efforts and resources on building out a flagship automotive marketplace with the potential to offer buyers a wide range of automotive parts for cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and RV’s on a single platform.

 

In August 2021 the Company launched a beta test version of Autoparts4less.com. In a short period of time after the beta launch the company realized that with the amount of interest received from numerous types of large sellers, which included not only ecommerce sites presently selling parts online, but also interest from other large parts sellers such as warehouse distributors, new car dealers with large inventories of parts as well as brick and mortar parts retailers looking to move sales online, the platform originally created would soon be inadequate. As such, the Company made the decision to upgrade to a larger and more advanced platform solution so they immediately began implementation of the AWS Fargate serverless platform solution.

 

The platform upgrade was completed in the 1st quarter FYE 2023, with marketplace sales expected to begin in 2nd quarter 2023.

 

On April 28, 2022 the Company changed its name from The 4Less Group, Inc. to Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc.

 

Competition

 

We directly compete for buyers to use our web sites over current e-commerce sites as well as sellers that utilize major marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay.  However, we believe our specialty ecommerce website liftkits4less.com offers substantial value-added content including installation guides, install videos, high impact photos, order customization and live chat with a technical expert.

 

Additionally, we believe that our automotive parts marketplace AutoParts4less.com, with no known large challengers presently in the space outside of “all things to all people” online marketplaces Amazon and eBay, has the opportunity to quickly be branded when launched as the auto part’s industry premier marketplace just as sites like Etsy, Wayfair, Uber and Chewey’s have been able to successfully do in their industries.

For the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company began selling off its inventory and transitioning its business to the newly developed autoplarts4less.com marketplace. For the three months ended April 30, 2023, marketplace revenues were $13,516 ($2022 - $0). There are no associated cost of sales with these revenues as they represent fees earned on sales. However, sales fell dramatically since the Company is only concentrating on the new marketplace which is its future and continues cutting costs associated with its old business model.

The changes above can be explained by the increases in loss on derivatives and interest expense this quarter ended April 30, 2023. Debt increases, yet many notes reaching maturity led to an increase in interest expenses and slight decrease in amortization. The penalties added to the loans increased the loss on the derivatives.

 

We had a net loss of $2,871,291 for three months ended April 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $2,594,158 for three months ended April 30, 2022. The increase in net loss was mainly due to the increase in other expense offset partially by the lower operating costs.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As of April 30, 2023, we had a cash balance of $53,713, inventory of $45,289 and $23,257,757 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we will need to consider additional funding sources going forward. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses and drive growth in revenue.

 

The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital (deficit) for the periods indicated:

Working capital (deficits)   $ (23,136,653 ) $ (20,671,087 )

 

Net cash used in operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023 was $427,328 as compared to net cash used in operations of $1,725,709 for the three months ended April 30, 2022. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2023 was $0 as compared to $1,142 for the same period in 2022.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, 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 the Securities and Exchange Commission rules 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. Moving forward, we hope that our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer will be able to devote the additional time and effort required so that our disclosure controls and procedures can become effective. Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal controls and procedures were not effective, we believe that our financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report for the quarter ended April 30, 2023 fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years and months covered thereby in all material respects.

 

(b)           Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
