THE 4LESS GROUP, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Business:


Nature of Business – The 4LESS Group, Inc., (the “Company”), 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.


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, 2020 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 6, 2020.


Principles of Consolidation:


The condensed financial statements include the accounts of The 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.


- 8 -


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 nine months ended October 31, 2020 the Company purchased approximately 55% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of October 31, 2020, the net amount due to those vendors included in accounts payable was $393,729. For the nine months ended October 31, 2019, the Company purchased from three vendors approximately 53% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties. As of October 31, 2019, the net amount due to those vendors included in accounts payable was $128,461. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should a supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.


Leases


We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of February 1, 2019, using the full retrospective approach. The full retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.


In addition, 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.


Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $454,087 and $454,087 respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings, retained earnings and had no impact on cash flows.


- 9 -


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, 2020, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


On November 29, 2018, the Company completed a reverse merger with The 4 Less Corp. At such time that there was a change in control, all net operating losses for tax purposes of the parent were no longer available for carry-forward and the parent started to accumulate profits or losses from that point forward.


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 October 31, 2020:

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. As of October 31, 2020, warrants to purchase 0 common shares (583 shares before the reverse split of 2/25/2020 referred to in Note 6) issued in July 2014 were not classified as derivative liability while the remaining warrants outstanding were classified as derivative liability based on the FIFO method.


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 7), the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of October 31, 2020 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.

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. 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 January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The policy is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted on February 1, 2020 and the adoption had no impact.


Fair Value Measurement: In 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to remove, modify and add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removed or modified disclosure requirements. Transition is on a prospective basis for the new and modified disclosures, and on a retrospective basis for disclosures that have been eliminated. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


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.


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 $18,887,220 as of October 31, 2020 and has a working capital deficit at October 31, 2020 of $3,160,803. As of October 31, 2020, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents of $261,072 and approximately $167,000 of short-term debt in default. The short-term 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 continued to grow its revenues, at this time, the three months ended July 31, 2020 was only the first quarter the Company was able to achieve profitability from operations prior to interest and other expenses.  While the Company believes it will continue to build on the results achieved in this quarter, 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 October 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020:

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 October 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020.

In addition, the Conversion Price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of (a) $0.00001 or (b) 50% of the lowest traded price during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, an Event of Default (as defined herein) occurs, then an additional discount of 15% shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 65% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). These above contingencies have not occurred.


(ii) In the event the Company experiences a DTC ” Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 40% instead of 50% while that “Chill” is in effect. If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 4x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.


(iii) The share purchase agreements ancillary to the convertible note agreements do not allow the lender to engage in short sales.


(iv) If the Company becomes delinquent or continues its delinquency in its periodic filings with the SEC after the 6-months anniversary of the note, then the holder is entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion.

(viii) If at any time while this Note is outstanding, an event of default occurs, then an additional discount of 15% shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 65% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC, an additional 10% discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding.


- 18 -


(ix) If the Company fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, or, if the effective Conversion Price is less than $0.01 at any time, the Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by ten thousand dollars ($10,000).  In addition, the Conversion price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of (a) $0.001 or (b) 50% of the lowest traded price during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.


(x) In the event that shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC following the conversion of any amount hereunder, an additional ten percent (10%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 55% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). Additionally, if the Borrower fails to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (including but not limited to becoming late or delinquent in its filings, even if the Borrower subsequently cures such delinquency) at any time while after the Issue Date, and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the exchange Act, an additional fifteen percent (15%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 60% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder).


(xi) If the Borrower’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC, becomes chilled at any point while this Note remains outstanding or deposit or other additional fees are payable due to a Yield Sign, Stop Sign or other trading restrictions, or if the closing price at any time falls below $0.01 (as appropriately and equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock contributions and similar events), then an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price for any and all Conversions submitted thereafter.


The Company had accrued interest payable of $203,377 and $703,270 on the notes at October 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, respectively.

The instruments 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 resulted in a discount to the note on the debt modification date. For the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount expense of $67,357 and $212,004, respectively.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES


As of October 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the Company had derivative liabilities of $229,895 and $2,611,125, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a loss of $939,873 and $196,303 from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, respectively.

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 nine months ended October 31, 2020. 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.

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.


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.


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.

Company


The 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 4850 N Rancho Dr # 130, Las Vegas NV 89130. It can be reached by phone at (662) 510-5866.


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


Like many small businesses Auto Parts 4Less (“4LESS” previously named The 4less Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of The 4Less Group, Inc.) was born from humble beginnings; in 2013 Christopher Davenport, the founder of 4LESS, began selling auto parts on eBay and shipping those items out of his garage.  But, 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 outsourced much of their operations to 3rd party companies to list their auto parts in the different marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Jet.  However, using these 3rd party companies was inefficient, cumbersome, slow and very expensive.


Since 2016 the company has invested heavily to become their own listing platform that allows their auto parts to be direct listed across marketplace and social media sites.  We have completed multiple technical achievements including CRM system, warehouse integration API, warehouse inventory software to name a few.


- 26 -


Presently, 4LESS operates 3 branded websites: LiftKits4LESS.com, Bumpers4LESS.com and TruckBedCovers4LESS.com. In total, these sites represent products from over approximately 250 manufacturers.


In 2019, with technology upgrades in place, 4Less began successfully moving majority of sales from third party marketplaces direct to their proprietary web sites. By doing so the company saves 8%-10% in fees charged by the market place as well as further building the 4less brand as a leading marketplace for auto parts.


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. With the acquisition of the URL AutoParts4Less.com, 4Less is focusing all of their efforts and resources on building out a flagship automotive E-tailing site with the potential to list and sell literally millions of parts that will include automotive specialty equipment parts and accessories, targeted “niche” web sites and potentially a used auto parts exchange one day as well.


Our niche web sites are unique in the market place and currently we do not see any other competitors managing multiple web sites in the aftermarket auto parts.  We directly compete for buyers to use our web sites over current e-commerce giants that we sell through such as Amazon and eBay.  However, our web sites offer substantial value-added content including installation guides, install videos, high impact photos, order customization and live chat with a technical expert.  We believe all these value-adds give our web sites significant advantages over large “all things to all people” online market places.  While there are several other small ecommerce sellers in the marketplace, their sites presently do not offer the technical flexibility to sell across all marketplaces seamlessly. Presently we do not see them as a significant threat to market share. 4Less management believes that the 4Less proprietary web sites offer the best buying experience for consumers interested in purchasing aftermarket auto parts on the internet today. As a result of these many upgrades, the complexity of many of our products and the ability to drive more traffic to our proprietary websites where margins are greater, we expect all of these decisions to help The 4Less Corp achieve growth goals for 2021.


4Less management believes that the 4Less proprietary web sites, which includes order customization, live chat, install videos, directions and installation services, offer the best buying experience for consumers interested in purchasing aftermarket auto parts on the internet today.


As a result of these many upgrades, the complexity of many of our products and the ability to drive more traffic to our proprietary websites where margins are greater, we felt it was in the best interest of the company to terminate its relationship with Amazon. We expect all of these decisions to help The 4Less Corp achieve growth goals for 2021.

We had total revenue of $7,262,106 for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, compared to $6,218,386 for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. Sales increased by $1,043,720 due to strong second and third quarter sales where consumer purchases shifted towards online consumption as a result of the economic shutdown and social distancing measures due to the recent Cobid-19 pandemic. The Company’s focus continues in growing its proprietary website revenues and the Company was successful in that, increasing its proprietary website revenue by 44%. The company believes this strategy will lead to higher revenues and lower overall costs in the future.


Gross Profit


We had gross profit of $1,971,080 for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, compared to gross profit of $1,525,471 for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. Gross profit increased by $445,609 as a result of the increased revenues explained above and partly offset by an increase in cost of revenue due to a the Company having to purchase goods at higher product costs from distributers rather than the usual manufacturers due to higher than anticipated demand which manufacturers were not able to meet.

As a result of the debt exchanges described in Note 7 of the financial statements, this resulted in the gain on settlement of debt and reductions in amortization expense and interest expense due to the lower debt. The higher loss on derivatives is a function of the market factors in the valuation of the derivative liability described in Note 8.


We had net income of 2,681,933 for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, compared to a net loss of $2,554,510 for the nine months ended October 31, 2019. The increase in net income was mainly due to the sales increase and the gain on settlement of debt as explained in the discussion above.

The $2,136,855 increase in total other income was due to the gain on settlement of debt as a result of the debt settlements described in Note 7 of the financial statements this resulted in reductions in amortization expense. Interest expense increased due to the higher new short and long term debt. The higher loss on derivatives is a function of the market factors in the valuation of the derivative liability described in Note 8.


We had net income of $1,100,073 for the three months ended October 31, 2020, compared to net loss of $994,960 for the three months ended October 31, 2019. The increase in net income was mainly due to the sales increase and the gain on sale of debt as explained in the discussion above.


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 and 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. For the nine months ended October 31, 2020, we have generated revenue and are working to achieve positive cash flows from operations.


As of October 31, 2020, we had a cash balance of $261,072, inventory of $299,628 and $3,742,149 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we may 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.

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 October 31, 2020 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.
