" Our Company was initially formed for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties and was therefore considered to be in the pre-exploration stage. Mineral claims with unknown reserves were acquired, but we did not establish the existence of commercially mineable ore deposits and we decided to abandon our mineral claims and to pursue other business opportunities, one of which was the alternative energy business.
In
InApril 2010 , we changed our business focus to the operation of the business conducted by our subsidiary "General Bio Energy Inc. ", which was focused on the environmentally friendly green energy industry.General Bio Energy Inc. was incorporated in the Province ofSaskatchewan inFebruary 2006 under the name "Canadian Green Fuels Inc. " and changed its name to "General Bio Energy Inc. " inSeptember 2008 .General Bio Energy Inc. commenced its pre-production stage inMay 2006 and began selling products inJuly 2008 . From 2008 to 2011, we were engaged in the development of a bioenergy business focused on agricultural processing and the environmentally friendly green energy industry. We produced a range of products manufactured by crushing oilseeds and refining the by-products. Our subsidiary,General Bio Energy Inc. , operated a fully integrated commercial oilseed crushing, bio-diesel refinery, which used its proprietary processes to produce two main co-products, oil and meal, each of which were further processed and then sold. The oil products produced from this process could be divided into three subcategories: (i) vegetable oil for human and animal consumption; (ii) biofuel and biofuel additives; and (iii) environmental lubricants and conditioners, penetrating sprays, dust suppressants, cutting oils and other "ECO-lubricants". We also added a new group of oil products to our product mix: natural consumer health products. The meal and protein related products were used for agricultural and aquaculture feedstock. We considered our facility to be a "green" manufacturing facility because it had minimal effluents, using methods which are emissions friendly. Our production facility and head office were located inRegina, Saskatchewan .
From 2012 to 2018, we focused on clearing our debts from prior biofuels
operations by issuing shares in exchange for the settlement of these
liabilities, and on seeking a different venture for our shareholders. In 2013,
our company redomiciled its corporate jurisdiction to the
Our Current Business OnJanuary 18, 2020 , we changed our name toHemp Technology Inc. and announced a new business plan in the emerging hemp related products business. We hired new management to carry out these plans and raised$0.3 million seed capital between March andSeptember 2020 to commence the process. OnDecember 28, 2020 , we changed our corporate name fromHemp Technology Inc. toRCWM Group, Inc. 17
The Company operates and intends to further obtain a diversified portfolio of subsidiary companies. Focusing on a variety of assets, products, and ancillary offerings in the hemp and related industries, the Company's fluid business model is positioned to capitalize on, and adapt to, changing market conditions. Management of the Company continues to seek opportunities and strategic acquisitions that support its business model.RCMW Group, Inc. (formerly "Hemp Technology Inc. "), operates and intends to further augment their diversified portfolio of subsidiary companies. Focusing on a variety of assets, products, and ancillary offerings in the hemp and related industries,RCMW's fluid business model is positioned to capitalize on, and quickly adapt to, changing market conditions. The Company is continually seeking opportunities and strategic acquisitions that support its business model and maintain alignment with the dynamic industry environment. The Company consists of subsidiaries which hold two hemp processing licenses in the state ofKentucky , Cannary Distribution in theLos Angeles metropolitan area, Verified Vapes, hardware manufacturer, Pettanicals, a high-quality nutritional pet supplement performance products brand and True Leaf Pet, a high-quality hemp seed-based pet supplement brand. The Company currently has operations in theU.S. andCanada . OnMay 2, 2020 ,RCMW (thenHemp Technology Inc. ), aWyoming corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary 4033002, a newly formedWyoming Corporation entered into an Asset/Share Exchange Agreement and corresponding Bulk Asset Sale Agreement withCannary Packaging, Inc. , ("Cannary"), a privateBritish Columbia company. Under the terms of the Asset/Share Exchange Agreement, Cannary agreed to exchange its non-operating assets to 4033002, the Registrant's subsidiary. The non-operating assets were valued at approximately$2,230,000 and were exchanged for 4,962,654 of the Registrant's unregistered restricted common shares (the "Issued Shares") of newly issued common stock to existing shareholders of Cannary based on their pro-rata ownership in Cannary. OnDecember 16, 2020 , the Company issued 106,452 unregistered restricted common shares to three shareholders. The issuance of these shares goes back to the Asset/Share Exchange Agreement, where the Company's subsidiary, 4033002 exchanged shares for non-operating assets owned byCannary Packaging, Inc. , a privateBritish Columbia company, with approximately 58 shareholders. When the share exchange took place inJuly 2020 a clerical error was made, and these three shareholders failed to receive their pro-rata ownership in the exchange. The issuance of these 106,452 unregistered restricted common shares corrected this clerical error. OnFebruary 4, 2021 , the Company issued 6,223 unregistered, restricted common shares to one shareholder. The issuance of these shares goes back to the Asset/Share Exchange Agreement, where the Company's subsidiary, 4033002 exchanged shares for non-operating assets owned byCannary Packaging, Inc. , a privateBritish Columbia company, with approximately 58 shareholders. When the share exchange took place inJuly 2020 a clerical error was made, and this shareholder failed to receive their pro-rata ownership in the exchange. The issuance of these 6,223 unregistered, restricted common shares corrected this clerical error.
The purpose of acquiring these Non-Operating Assets is twofold: 1) 4033002 becomes the operating asset acquisition subsidiary for the Registrant; and 2) the acquisition of these Non-Operating Assets helps qualify Registrant for
a NASDAQ listing. OnMay 20, 2020 ,RCMW (thenHemp Technology Inc. ), aWyoming corporation (the "Registrant" or "the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary 4033001, a newly formedWyoming Corporation entered into a Bulk Asset Sale Purchase Agreement withVanessa Miskuski andChad Costa . Under the terms of the Bulk Asset Sales Purchase Agreement Vanessa andChad Costa agreed to sell to 4033001, the Registrant's subsidiary, intangible assets valued at historical cost, in exchanged for 1,000,000,000 unregistered restricted common shares of the Registrant. The intangible assets were formerly owned byPettanicals Pet Treats, Inc. , a private Canadian company, which has been dissolved in accordance with section 314(1) of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Management believes that by purchasing these intangibles, it may be able to revive the pet vitamin business, which is now defunct. There is no assurance or guarantees that management will be successful or able to revive this former business. OnSeptember 11, 2020 ,RCMW (thenHemp Technology Inc. ), aWyoming corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary 4033001, a newly formedWyoming Corporation , completed its acquisition ofTrue Leaf Pet Inc.'s assets. The two companies first entered into the bulk asset purchase agreement onAugust 11, 2020 . The bulk asset purchase agreement (the "Transaction") was subject to approval by theCourt of the Transaction within 30 days of the execution date. The Transaction closed onSeptember 11, 2020 . 18
Update on the COVID-19 Pandemic
OnMarch 11, 2020 , theWorld Health Organization ("WHO") recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic, prompting many national, regional, and local governments, including in the markets that the Company operates in, to implement preventative or protective measures, such as travel and business restrictions, temporary store closures, and wide-sweeping quarantines and stay-at-home orders. As a result, COVID-19 has significantly curtailed global economic activity, including in the industries in which the Company operates. The full extent of the pandemic, related business and travel restrictions, governmental regulations and changes to consumer behavior intended to reduce its spread are uncertain as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the timing of the peak of the pandemic and its ultimate impact on theU.S. and global economies remains uncertain. Therefore, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our results of operations, liquidity or financial position is uncertain. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has had and is likely to continue to have adverse effects on our clients, suppliers and third-party business partners. Management continues to monitor the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the Company and the economies in which we operate. We anticipate that our liquidity may be materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and we expect that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods. We will continue to actively monitor the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, clients, partners, and stockholders. 19
Part 2 - Results of Operations
Revenue
Comprised of approximately 65% of sales made to other distributors and the remaining 35% to business to business ("B2B") customers. Revenue had been consistent for the first two quarters with a monthly average of$ 894,821 . During this quarter, revenue decreased primarily due to a general, and expected, decrease of orders over the holiday period. In addition, there was a return of approximately$700,000 made during the current period that related to prior period sales. A full refund was issued to the customer and the Company was able to receive a full refund on the costs from the manufacturing facility due to manufacturer's defects. The net impact to the current period for this return was approximately$153,000 . The sales to this customer are expected to begin to return to the same levels as in the first half of the fiscal year during the final quarter of this fiscal year. A key indicator used by management is upcoming sales orders as, for a portion of our business, there can be a significant gap between order placement and fulfilment. As ofJanuary 31, 2021 , the Company had approximately$260,000 open sales orders. At the date of this report, the Company had recognized revenue for approximately$235,000 , or 91%, of these orders. Operating Expenses We incurred operating expenses of$1,141,882 during the nine months endedJanuary 31, 2021 . These expenses were primarily the result of engaging key staff to develop our business plan and fulfilling public company reporting obligations. Generally, the operation expenses were much lower due to the reduction of startup costs and staff being laid off due to the pandemic as a result of the Corona Virus (Covid-19). Net Income from Operations
We incurred a net operating loss of
