ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure
controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the
definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company’s desired disclosure control objectives. In designing
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and evaluating the disclosure controls
and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company’s certifying officers have concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of assurance.
At the end of the
period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our
Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to
ensure that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to the Company, based on
the assessment and control of disclosure decisions currently performed by a small team. The Company plans to expand its management
team and build a fulsome internal control framework required by a more complex entity.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
Company’s principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and (iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of December 31, 2020, management
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based
on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of December 31, 2020.
This Report does not include an
attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting
as smaller reporting companies are not required to include such report and EGC’s are exempt from this requirement entirely until
they are no longer an EGC. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management has confidence in its
internal controls and procedures. The Company’s management believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated
can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met,
and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a
company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation in all internal control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have
been detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Internal control systems, no matter
how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide
absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Board Composition
Director Independence
Our business and affairs are managed
under the direction of our Board, which consist of seven members. Under Nasdaq rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of
a listed company’s board of directors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, Nasdaq rules require that each member of a listed
company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent, subject to certain phase-ins for newly-public
companies. Under Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s
board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying
out the responsibilities of a director.
Audit committee members must also
satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In order to be considered independent for purposes of
Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of
directors, or any other board committee (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the
listed company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
Our Board has undertaken a review
of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and
provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has
determined that Ms. Kaufman and Messrs. Melton, Alila and Young do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent”
as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq. In making
this determination, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and
all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our
capital stock by each non-employee director.
In making this determination,
our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances
our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee
director.
Board Committees
Our Board has established Audit,
Compensation, and Nominating and Corporative Governance Committees. Our Board may establish other committees to facilitate the management
of our business. The composition and functions of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance
committee are described below. Members will serve on committees until their resignation or removal from the Board or until otherwise determined
by our Board.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee consists
of Mr. Melton, Mr. Alila and Ms. Kaufman, with Mr. Melton serving as the chairman. Our Board has determined that Mr. Melton is an “audit
committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC regulations. Our Board has also determined that each member of our audit
committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. In arriving at these determinations,
the Board has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment in the corporate finance
sector. The functions of this committee include:
• selecting a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public
accounting firm to audit our financial statements;
• helping to ensure the independence and performance of the independent registered
public accounting firm;
• discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered
public accounting firm, and reviewing, with management and the independent accountants, our interim and year-end operating results;
• developing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about
questionable accounting or audit matters;
• reviewing our policies on risk assessment and risk management;
• reviewing related party transactions;
• obtaining and reviewing a report by the independent registered public accounting
firm at least annually, that describes our internal quality-control procedures, any material issues with such procedures, and any steps
taken to deal with such issues when required by applicable law; and
• approving (or, as permitted, pre-approving) all audit and all permissible
non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

Table of Contents
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee consists
of Messrs. Melton, Alila and Young with Mr. Young serving as the chairman. The functions of the compensation committee will include:
• reviewing and approving, or recommending that our Board approve, the compensation
of our executive officers;
• reviewing and recommending that our Board approve the compensation of our
directors;
• reviewing and approving, or recommending that our Board approve, the terms
of compensatory arrangements with our executive officers;
• administering our stock and equity incentive plans;
• selecting independent compensation consultants and assessing conflict of
interest compensation advisers;
• reviewing and approving, or recommending that our Board approve, incentive
compensation and equity plans; and
• reviewing and establishing general policies relating to compensation and
benefits of our employees and reviewing our overall compensation philosophy.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our nominating and corporate governance
committee consists of Messrs. Melton and Young with Mr. Young serving as the chairman. The functions of the nominating and governance
committee will include:
• identifying and recommending candidates for membership on our Board;
• including nominees recommended by stockholders;
• reviewing and recommending the composition of our committees;
• overseeing our code of business conduct and ethics, corporate governance
guidelines and reporting; and
• making recommendations to our Board concerning governance matters.
The nominating and corporate governance
committee also annually reviews the nominating and corporate governance committee charter and the committee’s performance.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board is primarily responsible
for overseeing our risk management processes. Our Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel,
and others, as considered appropriate regarding our assessment of risks. Our Board focuses on the most significant risks we face our general
risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks we undertake are consistent with our Board’s appetite for risk. While our
Board oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities
is the most effective approach for addressing the risks we face and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.
Our amended and restated bylaws
provide our Board with flexibility in its discretion to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer. The Board currently separates the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the differences
between the two roles. Our Chief Executive Officer, who is also a member of our Board, is responsible for setting the strategic direction
of the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the
Chief Executive Officer, sets the agenda for the Board meetings, presides over meetings of the Board and tries to reach a consensus on
Board decisions. Although these roles are currently separate, the Board believes it should be able to freely select the Chairman of the
Board based on criteria that it deems to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, and therefore one person may, in
the future, serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics
and conduct applicable to all of our directors, officers, employees and all persons performing similar functions. A copy of that code
is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part thereof. We expect that any amendments
to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed in our public filings with the Commission.
Corporate Governance
Guidelines
We have adopted a corporate governance
guidelines that serve as a flexible framework within which our Board and its committees operate. These guidelines cover a number of areas
including the size and composition of the Board, Board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, Board
agenda, roles of the chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, meetings of independent directors,
committee responsibilities and assignments, Board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third
parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management and management succession
planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines is attached hereto as Exhibit 14.2 to the Registration Statement of which this
prospectus forms a part thereof.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Jupiter Wellness, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity (deficit), and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December
31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring
net losses which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters
are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters
communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to
be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter
in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below,
providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Evaluation of Intangibles and Goodwill
As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements,
the Company evaluates intangibles and goodwill for impairment on an annual basis to determine if an impairment exists.
Auditing management’s evaluation of impairment
analysis can be a significant judgment, given the fact that the analysis uses managements estimates on future cash flows derived from
the intangibles and goodwill.
To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the
impairment determined by management, we examined the estimated future cash flows and management’s assessment of the probability
of those future cash flows in conjunction with the historical evidence and signed agreements.

JUPITER WELLNESS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (the “Company”)
was formed on October 24, 2018 as CBD Brands, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is headquartered in Jupiter, Florida.
The Company is a leading cutting-edge wellness brand dedicated to exploring and developing multiple therapeutic and medical use for Cannabidiol
(CBD) in the treatment of various ailment and diseases such as cancer, arthritis, anxiety, insomnia, psoriasis, chronic pain amongst others.
Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $4,262,168
in cash, accumulated deficit of $7,274,401 and cashflow used in operations of $2,732,736. The Company has incurred and expects to continue
to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management has taken certain action and continues to implement changes designed to improve the
Company’s financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing
strategies, including (a) engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash; and (b)
offer noncash consideration and seek for equity lines as a means of financing its operations. Additionally, the Company’s plan
includes certain scheduled research and development activities and related clinical trials which may be deferred as needed. If the Company
is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any
operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances,
acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant
to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jupiter Wellness, Inc., a Florida corporation, Magical Beasts, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company and SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong private limited company. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart
our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being
required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F- 6
Index
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were
no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment
of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of
accounting.
Net Loss per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant
to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share
assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred
stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred
stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities,
which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenue from the sale of
its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).
The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following
steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”).
Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following
five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
•
identify the contract with a customer;
•
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
•
determine the transaction price;
•
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
•
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied
when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance
of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases
of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Our revenue currently is generated from one general
product category of health care products with one performance obligation and geographically there are no specific concentrations of our
customer base to disaggregate our revenue stream.
F- 7
Index
Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the
Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables,
historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As of December 31, 2020 the Company recorded an allowance of $118,761
against accounts receivable acquired in connection with the acquisition of SRM Entertainment and as of December 31, 2019, the Company
had recognized no allowance for doubtful collections.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated
using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing
during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and
translation for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of December 31, 2020 and
2019 were not material.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development
costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under
ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development
costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or
as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products
are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $308,367 and $108,957 for the year ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees
under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718,
companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and
recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation
arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such
compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
On October 24, 2018, the inception date, the Company
adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These
amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees)
to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to
nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740
Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact
of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived
from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely
than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits
to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the
Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s
financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year which would
be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit
and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy
for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at December
31, 2020 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately
$936,311 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $936,311. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history,
the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties
include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election
of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method
by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under
the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company
may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one
of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly
influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting
parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests.
The consolidated financial statements shall include
disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items
in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined
financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved;
b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods
for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions
on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and
the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to
related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies
the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment
transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based
payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted
(but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this
standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial
statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance.
Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that
reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment
and make more estimates than under the current guidance. ASU 2014-09 is to be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period
presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative
effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has elected to apply the impact (if any) of applying ASU 2014-09 to the most current
reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.
In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases”
was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic
842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous
GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted
to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes
this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting
applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company
has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s
results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

Note 7 - Convertible Notes Payable – Related
Parties
The 2019 Notes:
On June 10, 2019, the Company entered into a Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollar ($25,000) Convertible Promissory Note (the “Caro Note”) with Caro Partners, LLC (“Caro”), a consulting
firm owned by Brian S. John, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors. The term of the Caro Note was one year.
The interest rate was ten percent (10%) non compounded and payable semi-annually. The Caro Note was convertible at any time by Caro at
a conversion price of $0.25 per share of common stock. The Caro Note was paid in full in September 2019. As a result, no value was allocated
to the conversion feature.
On July 25, 2019, the Company issued a Convertible
Promissory Note for $50,000 to its Chairman, with a term of one year, an annual interest rate of ten percent (10%), which is non compounded
and payable semi-annually, and convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time by the holder at a conversion price of $0.25
per share. The conversion feature was considered the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the arm’s length equity
transactions since there was no open market for the Company’s common stock when issued. As a result, the Company determined that
the conversion features contained in this Convertible Promissory Note should carry neither beneficial conversion feature nor derivative
liabilities. This note was converted into 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock along with the cash payment of $7,028 for
the accrued interest in December 2020.
On December 31, 2019 the Company issued a Convertible
Promissory Note for $250,000 to a related party, with a term of one year, an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%), which is non
compounded and payable semi-annually, and convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time by the holders at a conversion
price of $3.00 per share, which was considered the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the arm’s length equity
transactions since there is no open market for the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion
features contained in the Note should carry neither beneficial conversion feature nor derivative liabilities. The note and accrued interest
were paid in full in November 2020 with cash payments totaling $267,178.
The 2020 Notes:
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
issued nine convertible promissory notes totaling $1,075,000 (the “2020 Notes”) as follows:

All of the 2020 Notes have a one-year term and accrue
interest at an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) non compounded and payable semi-annually. The 2020 Notes are convertible into
the Company’s common stock at any time by the note holder at a conversion price of $3.00 - $5.00 per share, which is considered
as the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the arm’s length equity transactions since there was yet to be any
open market for the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features contained in the 2020
Notes should carry neither beneficial conversion feature nor derivative liabilities.
In November 2020, the $300,000 note was converted
into 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock along with a payment of $16,067 for accrued interest. Additionally, in November
2020 the $250,000 note plus accrued interest was paid in full by cash payments totaling 267,177 and the two $125,000 notes plus accrued
interest of $2,778 were paid in full for total cash payments of $252,778.

Valuation and Purchase Price Allocation
According to ASC 805, the standard of value to be
used in the application of purchase accounting rules is fair value. The Company utilized fair value defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 820–10–35–37 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The determination of the fair value
of the consideration and related allocation of the purchase price was determined by management of the Company with the assistance of a
qualified professional valuation firm.
The fair value of the consideration is as follows:

In connection with the promissory note above, the
Company recognized amortization of the discount on the note as interest expense of $49,573 from the date of closing through December
31, 2020.
In July 2020, certain actions were brought against
Magical Beasts as a result of a judgement obtained against Krista Whitley, the former owner, that was imputed to Magical Beasts (see Note
14 – Legal Proceedings). In December, the Company began discussions with Krista Whitley regarding obligations to Ms. Whitley related
to the acquisition of Magical Beasts (see Note 15 – Subsequent Events Litigation). In January 2021, the Company executed
an Omnibus Agreement which settled all future obligations of the Company.
At December 31, 2020, Goodwill was analyzed by
management, assisted by a third party valuation company, and determined that the Goodwill associated with the acquisition of Magical
Beasts has been impaired and as a result the Company recognized a charge to earnings of $308,690 in the year ended December 31,
2020. Additionally, the Intangibles were also analyzed by management, assisted by a third party valuation company, and determined
that the Intangible associated with the acquisition of Magical Beasts had also been impaired and as a result the Company recognized
an additional charge to earnings of $731,628 in the year ended December 31, 2020. The balance of the Intangible Assets at December,
31, 2020 attributable to Magical Beasts totals $122,501.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company entered into an office lease dated April
1, 2019 with a primary term of one-year, plus two one-year extension at the Company’s option. The base lease rate during the primary
term is $2,000 per month, and the monthly rate during the optional extension will be increased to $2,080 and $2,163, respectively. The
Company paid a total of $61,797 and $21,430 in rent and related fees during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Under the new standard for lease reporting, the company
recorded a Right of Use Asset (“ROU”) and an offsetting lease liability of $64,327 representing the present value of the future
payments under the lease calculated using a 10% discount rate (the current borrowing rate of the company). The ROU and lease liability
are amortized over the three-year life of the lease. The unamortized balances at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were ROU of $29,157 and $49,974,
respectively, current lease liability of $23,754 and $20,566, respectively, and non-current lease liability of $6,384 and $30,137, respectively.
Additionally, the Company recognized accreted interest expense of $4,153 and $4,377 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Legal Proceedings
On July 6, 2020, Brian Menke (the “Plaintiff”)
in Nevada court seeking to enforce a judgement that he had obtained in 2012 against Krista Whitley, the former owner and manager of Magical
Beasts LLC., in the amount of $250,000. In July 2020, the Plaintiff brought a claim in Nevada State Court to impute such judgement to
the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Magical Beasts, LLC. On August 6, 2020, the court imputed the judgement to Magical Beasts
and advised the Company that before paying any funds to Ms. Whitley, they must first satisfy the judgement to the Plaintiff. On October
12, 2020, the Company, Ms. Whitley and the Plaintiff reached a settlement agreement whereby the Company agreed that of the $1,000,000
note payable to Ms. Whitley, the first $336,450 be paid to the Plaintiff. Ms. Whitley in turn agreed that such payments would be applied
to the $1,000,000 owed to Ms. Whitley that was to be paid from the proceeds of the offering and the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw the case
against Magical Beasts without prejudice. In November, the Company made a cash payment of $300,000 to the Plaintiff and issued 8,500
shares of its common stock valued at 36,450. The $336,450 was recorded as an offset to the $1,000,000 note.
On August 6, 2020, the Company, Messrs. John and Miller
and certain affiliated entities filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against Robert Koch,
Bedford Investment Partners, LLC, Kaizen Advisors, LLC and certain other unnamed defendants. The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Koch and the
other defendants are attempting to extort the Company and Messrs. John and Miller to issue the defendants shares of the Company’s
common stock which they claim are owed to them. The Company asserts that they have no oral or written agreement with Mr. Koch or any of
his affiliates that entitle him to shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s complaint seeks actual damages in the
amount of $5,000,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $5,000,000. In response, the defendants filed their answer and asserted a counter
claim repeating the same claims that caused the Company to file their suit. Subsequently, the Company moved for judgement on the pleadings
to dismiss the defendant’s counterclaim in its entirety. That motion has been fully briefed and is pending adjudication. The Company
intends to vigorously contest the claims.
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and
claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any pending
or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on its financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.

Note 15 - Subsequent Events
Convertible Promissory Notes.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of $525,000
plus accrued interest of $32,856 due on convertible promissory notes. In January 2021, the Company received conversion notices from
all of the note holders to convert the $525,000 principal balance of its convertible promissory notes plus $35,489 accrued interest, through
the date of conversion, into 186,832 shares of the Company’s common stock ($3.00 per share conversion price). The shares were issued
in January 2021.
Stock Based Compensation
On January 28, 2021 the Company amended a consulting
agreement with a third, under the terms of which, the Company would issue 200,000 restricted shares of its common stock.
In February 2021, the Company granted 11,000 restricted
shares of its common stock to an employee under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan.
Warrants Exercised
In February 2021, Ms. Whitley exercised her 185,000
options (see Litigation below) using the cashless option feature and was issued 159,053 shares of the Company’s restricted common
stock in full satisfaction of the option agreement.

price, the Nasdaq closing price for the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Litigation.
On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Omnibus
Amendment to: (1) the Confidential Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated February 21, 2020; (2) the Sales Distributor Agreement,
dated February 21, 2020; and (3) the Executive Employment Agreement, dated March 31, 2020 (the “Agreements”). Pursuant to
the Omnibus Amendment, the parties (i) acknowledge that the Company has fully satisfied its obligation of $334,000 to the Plaintiff as
Ms. Whitley’s judgment creditors; (ii) agree that in satisfaction of the remaining balance due to Ms. Whitley under the Agreements,
she is to be paid $150,000 in cash instead of $650,000 and, starting April 1, 2020, shall be entitled to individually market and sell
the Bella line of products remaining in the Company’s inventory, as identified in the Omnibus Amendment, and the Company will relinquish
its rights to the Bella brand; (iii) agree that the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the common stock purchase options granted
to Ms. Whitley under the Agreements shall be reduced from 250,000 to 185,000, Ms. Whitely may utilize a cashless exercise feature to exercise
such options, subject to a six (6) month holding period on the shares, and Ms. Whitley shall not be permitted to sell an amount of shares
in any week which exceeds 10% of the Company’s total weekly trading volume in the prior week; (iv) agree that Ms. Whitley’s
Employment Agreement shall terminate on March 31, 2021 and shall not renew; and (v) acknowledge that Ms. Whitley has been paid $5,541.50
for unreimbursed expenses on or about December 30, 2020. There will be no adverse impact to the financial statements or financial position
of the company related to this matter given the offset of the balance of the $1,000,000 note payable already recorded.
In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, the Company has
