Corporate
Structure
Groove
Botanicals, Inc. (the "Company") (formerly known as Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc.), was originally incorporated in Colorado
in April 1991 under the name Snow Runner (USA), Inc. The Company was the general partner of Snow Runner (USA) Ltd.; a Colorado
limited partnership to sell proprietary snow skates under the name "Sled Dogs" which was dissolved in August 1992. In
late 1993, the Company relocated its operations to Minnesota and in January 1994 changed our name to Snow Runner, Inc. In November
1994 we changed our name to the Sled Dogs Company. On November 5, 1997, we filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. In September 1998, we emerged from protection of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In May, 1999, we changed our state
of domicile to Nevada and our name to XDOGS.COM, Inc. On July 22, 2005, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's
shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc.,
and to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares par value
of $0.001, and engage in the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties. On November 16, 2011, a majority of the Company's
shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common
stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares par value of $0.001. This amendment was not filed with
the Nevada Secretary of State.
On
June 4, 2012 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to a reverse split of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) such that each holder of Shares as of the record
date of June 4, 2012 shall receive one (1) post-split Share on the effective date of June 4, 2012 for each three hundred (300)
Shares owned. The reverse split was effective on July 23, 2012. On September 28, 2012, we held a special
meeting of Avalon’s shareholders and approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation such that the
Company would be authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock. We filed an amendment with the Nevada
Secretary of State on April 10, 2013, to increase our authorized shares to 200,000,000.
On
January 12, 2018, our Board of Directors agreed to amend Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be amended by
changing the ratio for conversion, in Article IV, subparagraph (a), from .4% to .51% so that upon conversion the number of shares
of common stock to be exchanged shall equal 51% of then issued and outstanding common stock.
The
note payable in the amount of $50,000, issued on November 11, 2008, and its accrued interest, and the $30,000 note payable, issued
in the amount of $50,000 on January 27, 2009, and its accrued interest, were settled on March 9, 2018 for $2,500 plus the issuance
of 600,000 shares of Common Stock
The
principal and accrued interest on $60,000 notes payables were settled on March 20, 2018 for $5,000.
On
March 21, 2018 the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
to change the Company's name to Groove Botanicals, Inc. We filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the State
of Nevada on May 18, 2018.
The
maturity of notes payable, amount of $9,200, has been extended until April 1, 2018. The outstanding principal balance and all
outstanding interest was converted into 1,850,000 shares in subsequent three months.
Corporate
Strategy
Our
Company’s new name reflects our new corporate direction as a consumer health products company dedicated to improving people’s
health and well-being. We will assemble a portfolio of assets via royalty agreements, equity investments, and licensing agreements,
as well as develop our own proprietary CB3 skin care products. Our products will contain premium hemp extracts with a broad range
of cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is a cannabinoid compound naturally derived from the hemp plant. It is not a
drug and has no intoxicating effects, but has a long history of natural uses. Recent breakthroughs in research have shown the
powerful health benefits of CBD on the body. CBD is also rich in vitamins A, B, D, and E, antioxidants, and fatty acids, all of
which dramatically improve skin health. When applied topically to the skin, CBD has been shown to reduce inflammation, retain
skin moisture levels, reduce cellular damage, inhibit oil production leading to breakouts, and protect skin from free radicals
that damage collagen and elastin.
20
We
have partnered with top leaders in CBD research, cultivation, and extraction to create the world’s finest cannabis skincare
product line. Our Groove Botanicals, Inc. proprietary CB3 launches with three foundational products: Revita Wash, a gentle yet
effective daily wash that removes toxins and smooths skin; Phyto Lotion, a light-weight, long-lasting daily moisturizer that hydrates,
softens, and protects; and Eye Matter, a powerfully effective eye cream that diminishes dark circles, puffiness, expression lines,
and wrinkles. Together, these products offer a minimalist skincare routine designed to deliver immediate and transformative results
to all skin types. We are also proud to say that our products are 100% American made and non-toxic, paraben free, sulfate free,
artificial fragrance free, dye free, vegan, animal by-product free, and 100% pet friendly. We look forward to announcing further
developments in the coming months as we expand and develop both our CBD skin care line and our other innovative new product lines.
We
plan to raise additional capital during the coming fiscal year, but currently have not identified additional funding sources.
Our ability to continue operations is highly dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing, or generate revenues from
the sale of our CBD skincare products, none of which can be guaranteed.
Ultimately,
our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from the sale our CBD skincare products, and to achieve profitability,
which is dependent upon a number of factors, including general economic conditions and the sustained profitability resulting from
the sale of our CBD skincare products. There is no assurance that even with adequate financing or combined operations, we will
generate revenues and be profitable.

Financing
Activities
We
have been funding our obligations through the issuance of our Common Stock for services rendered and for notes payable owed
or for cash in private placements. The Company may seek additional funds in the private or public equity or debt markets
in order to execute its plan of operation and business strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract
capital or obtain such financing when needed or on acceptable terms in which case the Company's ability to execute its business strategy
will be impaired.

Three
month periods ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2016:
21
Revenues
Revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $11,731, a decrease of $6,167 compared to revenue of $17,898 for the three months
ended June 30, 2016. Revenues decreased due to no consulting income earned during the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Lease
Operating Expenses
During
the three months ended June 30, 2017, our lease operating expenses were $12,973, a decrease of $6,142 compared to $19,115 for
the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was due to the workover expense on the Company's properties in Miller
County, Arkansas and Lincoln County, Oklahoma during the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was not incurred in the three
months ended June 30, 2017.
Selling,
General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $20,026, a decrease of $1,911 compared
to selling, general and administrative expenses of $21,937 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of payroll and related costs
of $12,000, travel and entertainment expenses of $334, facilities costs in the amount of $1,200, and office and miscellaneous
expenses of $6,492.
Depreciation,
Depletion, and Amortization
Depreciation,
Depletion, and Amortization was $2,849 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $3,404 compared to $6,253 for the
three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was due to lower depletion costs during the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Other
Miscellaneous Loss
We
sold the property in Lipscomb County, Texas, for $13,000, with a $3,564 loss in sale of the property during the three month periods
ended June 30, 2017. We did not have any other miscellaneous loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Interest
Income, net of Interest Expense
Interest
expense was $2,870 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to interest expense of $2,868 for the three months ended
June 30, 2016.
Net
Loss
Our
net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $30,551, a decrease of $1,724 compared to a net loss of $32,275 for the
three months ended June 20, 2016. The decrease was due to lower operating costs, selling, general, and administrative expenses,
and depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company has minimal revenues from our remaining oil and gas assets. We are in need of additional cash resources to maintain our
operations. Our cash and cash equivalents were $102,024 on June 30, 2017, compared to $104,574 on March 31, 2017. We met our liquidity
needs through the revenue derived from our oil and gas operations and advances from our President.
22
As
of June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,004,856, had incurred losses since inception of $34,161,557,
and have not yet received any revenue from the sale our CBD skincare products. These factors raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability
to raise additional capital or obtain necessary debt financing. The Company is presently dependent on its controlling shareholder
to provide us funding for its daily operation and expenses, including professional fee and fees charged by regulators, although
he is under no obligation to do so.
The
Company intends to meet the cash requirements for the next 12 months from the issuance date of this report through a combination
of debt and equity financing by way of private placements, friends, family and business associates. The Company currently
did not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to it.
If
we do not have sufficient working capital to pay our operating costs for the next 12 months, we will require additional funds
to pay our legal, accounting and other fees associated with our Company and our filing obligations under United States federal
securities laws, as well as to pay our other accounts payable generated in the ordinary course of our business. Once these costs
are accounted for, we will focus on the manufacture and sale of our CBD skincare products.
Any
failure to raise money will have the effect of delaying the timeframes in the business plan as set forth above, and the Company
may have to push back the dates of such activities.
The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses
and further losses are anticipated as a result of the development of business which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining financing
necessary to meet the Company’s obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they
come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from
directors and/or private placement of the Company’s common stock.
Ultimately,
our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our CBD skincare products.

Our
net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $30,551 compared to net loss of $32,275, during the three months ended

depletion, and amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
