Financial Summary: The Coronavirus finally had its effect on our results. Sales were flat for the nine months ending August 2020 at $2,891,993 as compared to $2,832,957 in 2019. Anticipating this understandable situation, our operating and financial oversight management tightened up controls and our gross margin for the nine months of 2020 improved 55.9% to $505,565 from $326,211 for the nine months of 2019.

Comparative sales results for the current August quarter were $880,682 versus $1,229,699 for the 2019 quarter. Our gross margins improved 19.2 % year over year through continuation of tight cost controls and systems implementation.

For the August 2020 quarter, the consolidated company (Daniels - "DCAC") had net income attributable to common shareholders of $1,008,885 or $0.03 per share on a weighted average of 29,933,017. This profit was from a gain in derivative liabilities on our balance sheet and not from subsidiary or consulting operations.

Corporate Strategy for the Quarter:

During our third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Daniels, as an incubator, continued to build upon earlier milestones in fulfillment of its corporate aim. Cash of $250,029 was raised from the issuance of Callable Preferred Stock and is reserved on our balance sheet for expansion of our rental fleet. By itself these funds can double the size and month rental income of our rental fleet. The decision was made to seek asset-based loans from private investors and institutions to leverage the funds. Negotiations continue with lenders so trucks can be purchased for two-thirds equity one-third debt. Forward momentum continues through the generation of cash flows from our rental business. Our existing fleet is generating between $21,000 - $24,000 per month in revenues. These rental cash flows are sustaining the overall Company as the "flip" segment continues to generate revenues on a more modified level. The goal established for this quarter - which was the positioning of the Payless subsidiary so levered asset purchases could be made to accelerate earnings - was advanced. In the next several quarters, the Company should be in a position to use leverage to take advantage of the continuing health / dislocations risks in the economy and then the eventual restart of approximately thirty percent of the US GDP.

Management's on-going efforts in selecting additional start-up or add-on opportunities as client (subsidiary) candidates is promising. Final discussions were in progress during the quarter with a research think tank. They will have the role of supporting the parent company senior oversight management team in the detailed review and analysis of all candidates. A board decision was made to focus solely on the Transportation Services segment of the economy through the further build-out of the Payless Truckers, Inc. subsidiary.

Overview


Daniels Corporate Advisory creates and implements corporate strategy alternatives for the mini-cap public or private company client. The addition of new business opportunities and the location of professional talent for implementation is anticipated through the full-time efforts of our senior management. These efforts are to be expanded in the United States and in foreign capitals by an expanding advisory board and through the networks of independent consultants. Principals of the respective client company will open their networks to augment professional access for specialties the Daniels corporate strategy consultants believe are needed in a joint-venture, jointly-controlled undertaking created for the client's optimum growth.





18






Daniels may provide the client with multiple corporate strategies/opportunities including joint-ventures, marketing opportunity agreements and/or potential acquisitions structured in leveraged buyout format. One or a combination of these strategies would allow the client to enter new market niches or expand further into existing ones.





Recent Business Developments



The Company is operating through the corporate strategy segment of its business. It is attempting to build its own critical mass by creation of start-up subsidiaries it believes have promise/potential. The stated goal is for the parent (DCAC) company to consolidate the critical mass of the subsidiary/start-ups with that of the parent for eventually listing on a major stock exchange. We have continued to focus our efforts on the build out of the Daniels corporate strategy model. We adjusted our strategy as it relates to the development of subsidiary start-ups and potential acquisitions for common stock. We concentrate on identifying projects that have the potential to produce significant earnings on the leveraged capital base of both the parent and the subsidiary/start-up within an expedited time period.

As a result, we formed Payless Truckers, Inc. ("Payless"), a wholly-owned subsidiary which was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on April 11, 2018. Payless is a start-up, service company in the trucking industry. It has two business lines with its launch and current results coming from the "flip" business, whose principal activity is to acquire class 8 heavy duty trucks, refurbish them, add location electronics, advertise and sell to independent drivers and operators. The second line is the "credit rebuilding business" where class 8 heavy duty trucks, owned by Daniels/Payless, are rented to experienced independent drivers. These independent drivers rent for a period of up to five years, and have the option to buy the vehicle at retail value every six months. This business commenced operations subsequent to the close of our fiscal year. In an effort to grow quickly and profitably, Daniels entered into an operating agreement with a senior operating management team in an effort to drive the business and better realize its earnings and growth potential.

The Payless two-line trucking model represents a streamlined Transportation Services Company; one Daniels believes can be restructured/redirected to survive any potential future slow-downs in the economy. The model was developed to allow for the maximum utilization of each truck as it is put into immediate service in numbers that are manageable without causing excess capacity. Top brand/model Tractors with low mileage are handpicked by our operations team - a family with three generations in automotive/trucking. Our drivers continue to be handpicked for their driving skills and their established hauling networks. They rent/switch trailers to meet the available work on Load Boards or haul for major hauling companies using hauling company trailers. Due to the current dislocations in every industry due to the Coronavirus, our independent contractor drivers are constantly on the road.

We hope to further enhance our plan for growth by forming joint-ventures and/or partnerships with truck maintenance companies across the United States in key traffic hubs. This will potentially afford independent drivers and operators the opportunity to be serviced by trusted maintenance facilities under our warranty program.

Business Strategy - Current Operational Strategy & Current Client Projects

Daniels creates and implements corporate strategy alternatives for the mini-cap public or private company client. The addition of new business opportunities and the location of professional talent for implementation is anticipated through the full-time efforts of our senior management. These efforts are to be expanded in the US and in Foreign capitals by an expanding advisory board and through the networks of independent consultants. Principals of the respective client company will open their networks to augment professional access for specialties the Daniels corporate strategy consultants believe are needed in a joint venture, (jointly-controlled) undertaking created for the client's optimum growth.

Daniels may provide the client with multiple corporate strategies /opportunities including joint-ventures, marketing opportunity agreements and/or potential acquisitions structured in a leveraged buyout format. One or a combination of these strategies would allow the client to enter new market niches or expand further into existing ones.

One of the Company's primary objectives is to be listed on a major exchange listing. Senior management is estimating at least twenty-four months from commencement of a corporate strategy assignment. Financial results, aided by all participating players, should be forthcoming and recorded in SEC filings. At the same time, a senior management team and Board expanded with highly-credible interim (or permanent) professionals (directors) will be organized in order to successfully navigate the listing process of a major stock exchange. While Daniels believes this process should be successful in the above-noted time period, there is some uncertainty in the process which is dependent upon any past issues the listing committee of a specific exchange may deem necessary to be addressed prior to uplifting. In addition, it may take added time to find the appropriate outside directors that can not only satisfy the listing committee of the exchange but who can also provide added networking/services to build the parent's and subsidiary's potential for accelerated growth.

A similar effort will be provided to tailor an optimum growth program for the private company client, whether it chooses to remain private or to become a public company through alternative merger opportunities.

Growth Strategy - Short-Term Objectives

Daniels' believes that the validity of its corporate strategy model is proven through the success of its initial subsidiary incubation, Payless Truckers, Inc. The growing momentum of this cash flow engine is generating the interest of long-term financing sources. They recognize the obvious - the cash flows from the fleet truck program can cover significant debt service on longer term financing which can accelerate the levered growth of the Company. Daniels has used its publicly-traded common stock in a variety of securities packages, including convertible preferred stock, to launch its premier subsidiary start-up, (Payless Truckers) and will do so for other start-up opportunities being reviewed. Initial subsidiaries (start-up clients) are those that can generate significant return on invested capital so that growth acceleration comes from generic sales/profit growth. Alternative growth options - joint-ventures, marketing agreements, acquisitions/LBO's - will be applied secondarily as external growth opportunities are entered into to bring the start-up (now considered an early-stage company) to critical mass for stability.

Senior management believes our corporate strategy business model - as an incubator of subsidiary / spin-off companies - to be scalable. Based upon the potential success of the initial corporate strategy consulting assignments creating Daniels' uplifting to a major stock exchange, Daniels (the publicly traded Exchange listed parent incubator with sophisticated senior advisory and capital raised at very advantageous rates) - may entertain the creation of a franchising program for key US cities and foreign finance centers.





Sales and Marketing


Daniels' senior management will concentrate its efforts to expand its corporate strategy and financial advisory services and related specialties in the mini-cap segment of the private and public markets, where Daniels believes it will be effective. Marketing efforts will increase through social and print media efforts and will be in addition to those methods already mentioned herein.

Daniels' objective is to create and help manage implementation of accelerated expansion strategies and in so doing, aid in the creation of financing alternatives to accomplish client goals.





Competition


Existing and new competitors will continue to improve their services and introduce new services with competitive price and performance characteristics.

In periods of reduced demand for our services, we can either choose to maintain market share by reducing our prices to meet competition or maintain prices and choose only those assignments with new clients that have pressing goals to be met that offer Daniels optimum potential for profits and growth.

The "collective" corporate financial services, direct and referral, including merchant banking/private equity, are very competitive and fragmented in the Company's market niche. There are limited barriers to entry and new competitors frequently enter the market. A significant number of our competitors possess substantially greater resources. We will continue to offer equity compensation to our team in order to keep a stable, cohesive team of professionals, which is necessary and key to the creation of operating and capital solutions in a timely fashion.





20






The above competitive considerations are no longer considered by senior advisory/oversight management to be as important as they once were. More importantly, we are now known for the success of our visionary growth strategies and their execution in the development and launch of our premier subsidiary - Payless Truckers Inc. The return on investment on early stages of our developing 100 truck fleet should generate the positive cash flow that will eventually create excess profits and help launch other promising new candidates (start-up clients) as subsidiary deals.





General


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements. which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.





Critical Accounting Policies


Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations and we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

The accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:





Revenue Recognition


We recognize revenue when we satisfy performance obligations by the transfer of control of products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We recognize revenue from class 8 heavy duty truck sales to customers when we satisfy our performance obligation, at a point in time, when title to the truck is transferred to the customer and collection of cash is certain. Delivery or shipping charges billed to customers, if applicable, are included in product sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of goods sold. We also recognize revenue from the rental of class 8 heavy-duty trucks to customers. Revenue from these truck rental agreements is recognized based upon the passage of time over the term of the arrangement once control of the underlying asset has been transferred to the customer. The arrangements require weekly payments, and the customer may cancel the agreement at any time by notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days before such termination.





Fair Value of Assets


We have adopted the standard FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820) "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:





       ?   Level 1-Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible
           at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
           liabilities.




21







       ?   Level 2-Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
           are observable for the asset or liability; either directly or
           indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
           in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
           liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted
           prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest
           rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
           observable market data by correlation or other means.
       ?   Level 3-Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement
           and unobservable.



The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include investments in available-for-sale securities and accounts payable and accrued expenses. We have also applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.





Use of Estimates



In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





COVID-19


On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") announced a global health emergency in response to a new strain of a coronavirus (the "COVID-19 outbreak"). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on the Company's industry, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2020, we had $250,029 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $4,490,693.

Net cash used in operating activities was $31,854 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to net provided by operating activities of $140,063 during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to the change in our working capital assets, in particular inventory and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $89,239 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to $209,722 during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. The decrease is directly attributable to the number of trucks purchased for use in our credit rebuilding business line.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $231,500 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020, compared to net cash provided of $112,500 during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is directly related to sale of shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock.

Our primary source of liquidity has been from the issuance of convertible debt and preferred stock. Since the creation of our subsidiary, Payless Truckers, Inc., cash flows from the operations of the truck service company have helped to supplement cash flows provided by our financing activities for the consolidated group.

On February 24, 2020, we filed a certificate of designations with the State of Nevada, designating 1,000,000 of our available preferred shares as Series B preferred convertible stock, stated value of $1.00 per share, and with a par value of $0.001 per share. The certificate of designations provides us with the opportunity to redeem the Series B shares at various increased prices at time intervals up to the 6-month anniversary of the closing and mandates full redemption on the 12-month anniversary. The holder may convert the Series B shares into shares of our common stock, commencing on the 6-month anniversary of the closing at a 35% discount to the lowest closing price during the 20-day trading period immediately preceding the notice of conversion.

On March 19, 2020, we sold 73,000 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock, with an annual accruing dividend of 10%, to Geneva Roth Remark Holdings, Inc. ("Geneva"), for $70,000 pursuant to a Series B preferred stock purchase agreement. The Series B preferred stock is classified as temporary equity since the shares are convertible at the option of the shareholder. We recorded a derivative liability of $144,894, valued using the Black-Scholes Model, associated with Series B preferred shares.

On May 22, 2020, we sold 103,000 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock, with an annual accruing dividend of 10%, to Geneva, for $100,000 pursuant to a Series B preferred stock purchase agreement. The Series B preferred stock is classified as temporary equity since the shares are convertible at the option of the shareholder. We recorded a derivative liability of $408,566, valued using the Black-Scholes Model, associated with Series B preferred shares.

On July 6, 2020, we sold 58,000 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock, with an annual accruing dividend of 10%, to Geneva, for $55,000 pursuant to a Series B preferred stock purchase agreement. The Series B preferred stock is classified as temporary equity since the shares are convertible at the option of the shareholder. We recorded a derivative liability of $92,317, valued using the Black-Scholes Model, associated with Series B preferred shares.





Financing Activities


We will have to continue to raise capital by means of borrowings, or through a private placement or registered offering. If we are unable to raise adequate capital, in the near term, to finance all phases of a client corporate consulting assignment, our proposed business will experience slow growth because it will be very hard to compete for business without a sound capital base to support advisory and implementation efforts on our suggested corporate growth strategies.

Management estimates that it will need up to $2.0 million to fund its operations. It is possible that we can still achieve our objectives by use of asset-based lending whereby we can leverage our truck purchases. However, because of the start-up nature of the subsidiary this financing may be harder to achieve than normal. Even if limited funds are raised, we can still register profits from our "flip" program while cost-effective funding for the "credit enhancement" program can be arranged. The Company does have funding available under a commitment letter but these funds are very expensive; management is trying to avoid their use.

It is the Company's intention to concentrate its efforts on the build-out of its trucking operations. Once solidly on its growth path, meeting projections and generating positive operating cash flows, additional subsidiary/start-up businesses will be entertained be the parent company.

Management believes it will have sufficient cash flows to continue in business for the foreseeable future. While legal and accounting expenses are significant for a reporting company, we will cover them out of operating cash flows.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2020 to the Three Months Ended August 31, 2019





Sales


Sales totaled $800,682 which were comprised of (i) $688,932 from the resale of refurbished trucks, (ii) $102,930 from vehicle rental agreements, and (iii) $3,320 from other miscellaneous sources for the three months ended August 31, 2020, compared to sales of $1,229,699 which were comprised of (i) $1,169,831 from the resale of refurbished trucks and (ii) $59,868 from vehicle rental agreements during the three months ended August 31, 2019. The decrease in sales for the three months ended August 31, 2020 is believed to be primarily attributable to the uncertainty of economic conditions caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.





23







Gross Profit


Gross profit totaled $184,143 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, compared to $154,427 during the three months ended August 31, 2019, respectively.

The increase in gross profit and gross profit percentage for the current year period is directly attributable to an increase in revenues from truck rental agreements which yield higher profit margins than truck resales.





Operating Expenses


Operating expenses are primarily comprised of compensation, facilities costs and outsourced services. Operating expenses totaled $267,455 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, compared to operating expenses of $251,042 during the three months ended August 31, 2019 representing an increase of $16,413 or 6.5%. The increase in operating expenses is generally related to the increase in our use of consulting and professional services for corporate matters and increased operating activities at Payless.





Other Income (Expenses), Net


Net other income totaled $1,233,465 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, compared to net other expense of $873,852 during the three months ended August 31, 2019 representing an increase of $2,137,033 or 220.2%. Interest expense decreased to $97,811 for the three months ended August 31, 2020 from $128,955 during the three months ended August 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense is due to less amortization of debt discounts attributable to our notes payable. We recorded a gain from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,331,276 during the three months ended August 31, 2020, compared to a loss from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $594,397 during the three months ended August 31, 2019.

The increase is largely attributable to the unrealized gain associated with our derivative liabilities offset in part by deemed dividends of $141,268 to our Series B preferred stockholders and the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities. There were no deemed dividends to preferred stockholders during the three months ended August 31, 2019.
