This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the accounts of Jupiter Wellness, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jupiter Wellness”).
References in this Report to “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company” refer to Jupiter Wellness,
Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context dictates otherwise.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and financial
performance based on certain assumptions. They include opinions, forecasts, intentions, plans, goals, projections, guidance, expectations,
beliefs or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Words such as “will,” “may,” “should,”
“could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential,”
“continue,” or “projects,” or the negative or other variation of such words, and similar expressions may identify
a statement as a forward-looking statement. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated
growth and trends in our businesses, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances,
including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and the development of our products, are forward-looking
statements.
Although
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can
only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation,
those specifically addressed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public can
read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.
You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition,
the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding
issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.

WELLNESS, INC.
Notes
to Financial Statements
For
the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and
Year
Ended December 31, 2021
Note
1 - Organization and Business Operations
Jupiter
Wellness, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 24, 2018 under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is headquartered
in Jupiter, Florida. Jupiter Wellness started as a CBD/sun care company developing SPF products
with the potential to protect users from the sun while making them healthier. Those products were founded on science and the belief the
Company could create research-backed solutions to enhance the well-being of their customers. Today the Company is focusing its scientific
approach on developing prescription and/or over-the-counter, or OTC, topical CBD products that have potential therapeutic and medical
applications.
On
November 30, 2020 the Company acquired SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic
of China limited company (“SRM”). SRM has relationships with and supplies the amusement park industry with exclusive products
that are often only available to consumers inside the relevant amusement park, entertainment venues and theme hotels in Orlando Florida, Beijing China, Japan, and other places throughout the
worldwide theme park industry.
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.
F- 6
Table of Contents
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.
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 $ 3,565,488 cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and none at December 31, 2021.
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.
Investments
Held-to-Maturity
Investments
that the Company’s management has the “positive intent and ability” to hold through maturity are classified and accounted
for as hold-to-maturity investments (“HTM”). HTM investments are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. For
investments classified as HTM, no unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in financial statements.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company has two reportable segments: (i) sales and development of cannabidiol based skin care and therapeutic products and (ii) sales
of merchandise sold to theme parks.
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

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 through a 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 products are 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.
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. During the year
ended December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded an allowance of $ 104,851 against accounts receivable of SRM Entertainment, the Company
had recognized no additional allowance for doubtful collections for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
We
evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted
future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
F- 8
Table of Contents
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing
a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying
value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to
its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered
impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating
results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.
We
conducted our annual impairment tests of goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. As a result of these tests, we recorded an impairment
to the carrying value of Goodwill in the amount of $ 308,690 in the year ended December 31, 2020. There was no impairment in the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 or year ended December 31, 2021.
Intangible
assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade
names, purchased technology, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the
straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from one to twenty years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible
assets. We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds
the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
The
Company’s evaluation of its long-lived assets resulted in $ 300,000 of intangible impairment expense during the year ended December
31, 2021. There was no impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
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.
Cumulative gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the Nine-months ended September 30, 2022 and the year
ended December 31, 2021 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 $ 103,025 and $ 60,529 for the Nine-months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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.
F- 9
Table of Contents
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 change
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, 2021 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state
effective tax rates equating to approximately $ 4,865,890 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $ 4,865,890 . Because
of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended
December 31, 2021.
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.

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
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.

Return and Cancellation of Shares

2022, the Company’s four executive officers (Messrs. John, Miller, and McKinnon and Dr. Wilson), all of whom are on the Company’s
Board of Directors except for Mr. McKinnon, each cancelled 2,750 options issued to them in August 2021 pursuant to an Incentive Stock
Option Forfeiture Agreement. The cancellation of the 11,000 options in total enabled the issuance of 11,000 shares to a non-executive
employee that took place in 2021 to be reallocated to be accounted for as if it was originally issued under the 2020 Equity Incentive
Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution on July 25, 2022, making the corresponding change to the Company’s
books and records with regard to the 11,000 shares; and (2) on July 26, 2022, the same four executive officers, returned, and the Company
cancelled, a total of 56,496 shares of common stock issued to them in 2021 outside of a shareholder approved equity compensation plan.

Legal
Proceedings
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, Mr. Koch and
Bedford Investment Partners, LLC (together, the “Koch Parties”) filed their answer and counterclaim, repeating the same claims
that caused the Company to file the lawsuit. On October 6, 2020, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings to dismiss the defendants’
counterclaim in its entirety. On April 24, 2021, the Company’s motion was granted and all counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice,
except the breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment claims. On June 04, 2021 the Koch Parties filed a Second Amended Counterclaim, re-alleging
their previous breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment counterclaims. On June 25, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss defendants’
Second Amended Counterclaim, which the parties briefed in summer 2021. On February 14, 2022, the court dismissed all of the Koch Parties’
counterclaims except to the extent that they alleged unjust enrichment against Jupiter and Mr. John. On March 22, 2022, the Parties engaged
in a Settlement Conference before The Honorable Sarah L. Cave, which did not resolve the case. On March 25, 2022, The Honorable Lewis
J. Liman granted Jupiter and Mr. John permission to move for summary judgment dismissing the Koch Parties’ unjust enrichment counterclaim,
which the parties briefed in spring 2022. Because the Court has not yet ruled on Jupiter and Mr. John’s motion for summary judgment,
the Court rescheduled this case’s jury trial from November 14, 2022 to March 27, 2023.
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.

General
Overview
Jupiter
Wellness, Inc. (“Company,” “Jupiter Wellness” “we,” “us,” and “our”) was
originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2018. Our principal business address is 1061 E. Indiantown Rd #110, Jupiter,
FL 33477.
Jupiter
Wellness started as a CBD/sun care company developing SPF products with the potential to protect users from the sun while making them
healthier. Those products were founded on science and the belief the Company could create research-backed solutions to enhance the well-being
of their customers. Today the Company is focusing its scientific approach on developing prescription and/or over-the-counter, or OTC,
topical CBD products that have potential therapeutic and medical applications.
Specifically,
the Company is exploring the use of topical CBD solutions for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (eczema) (JW-100), first-degree burns
and sun exposure (JW-300), and herpes labialis (cold sores) (JW-400).
In February
2021, the Company announced the results of its novel Cannabidiol-Aspartame combination treatment JW-100 clinical trial which has shown
it significantly Reduces ISGA Score in Eczema patients. A double-blinded placebo-controlled interventional study was conducted. Subjects
were assigned to apply, at home, one of three treatments: JW-100 (a CBD and aspartame combination topical formulation), a CBD-only topical
formulation, or a placebo topical formulation. After 14 days, the average reduction in the Investigator’s Static Global Assessment
(ISGA) score was calculated for each group. Additionally, the proportion of subjects achieving (ISGA) score 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear)
with at least 2-grade improvement from baseline was recorded for each arm of the study. 50% of subjects in the JW-100 arm achieved ISGA
clear or almost clear (1 or 2) with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline after treatment versus 20% and 15% in the CBD-only and
placebo arms, respectively. The percentage of subjects achieving clear or almost clear with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline
was found to be statistically significant (p=0.028). JW-100, a novel topical formulation containing CBD and aspartame, was shown to significantly
reduce the ISGA score in atopic dermatitis patients after two weeks of use. The combination of CBD and aspartame was more effective at
reducing ISGA scores than CBD alone.

In November
2021, Jupiter Wellness received an official written response from a Type B pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) for JW-100, a topical drug for the treatment of eczema. The main purpose of the pre-IND meeting was to evaluate
the drug development plan for JW-100. Jupiter Wellness believes that the written response from the FDA supports the Company’s approach
and its overall drug development strategy to enable the filing of an IND for its clinical studies on JW-100.
On November
16, 2021, Jupiter Wellness announced the results of a double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial on JW-300 showing efficacy for
the treatment of developing burns (sunburn).
The endocannabinoid
system, which is a body system affected by CBD, plays a pivotal role in maintaining healthy skin by modulating pain sensation, cell proliferation,
and inflammation. The Company’s strategy for the treatment of skin indications is, therefore, to focus on the use of CBD-containing
topical formulations and to explore potential combinations of CBD and other agents that may augment and act synergistically with CBD.
The Company will explore this strategy by conducting controlled clinical trials to try to ultimately gain FDA approval for specific indications.
In addition
to CBD-containing products, the Company is advancing several non-CBD formulations to address psoriasis and vitiligo (Photocil), increase
the effectiveness of minoxidil to treat hair loss (Minoxidil Booster), COVID-19 induced tinnitus (JW-600), women’s sexual wellness
(JW-500), and jellyfish sting prevention sunscreen (NoStingz).
RJ-101
was born out of clinical trials designed to establish a topical treatment for the restoration of nipple sensitivity for breast augmentation
patients, in addition to patients who had undergone chemotherapy or lumpectomy surgery following a cancer diagnosis. During early studies,
women reported not only increased sensitivity but also increased libido. The Company plans to file for a pre-IND meeting with the US FDA
within the next 12 months and intends to seek Orphan Drug Designation. An expedited 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for development is anticipated
as the current formulation contains an already approved drug.
The Company
is also positioning itself to generate revenues through the licensing of its intellectual property (IP). Jupiter Wellness signed agreements
to license their minoxidil booster to Taisho, a $2.6 billion revenue company and Japan’s leading seller of minoxidil products. Taisho
plans on launching the product commercially in 2023. In India, the Company inked a deal with Cosmofix Technovation Pvt Ltd and Sanpellegrino
Cosmetics to license the minoxidil booster and Photocil products. Additional licensing opportunities for these products are being pursued
primarily in overseas markets.
In Q2 and
Q3 2022, the Company established itself as a Contract Research Organization (CRO) through the acquisition of Ascent Clinical Research
(ACR) and Applied Biology (AB) assets. Additional contract research opportunities are being pursued and the Company hopes to expand on
this line of business in 2023.
On November 30, 2020, the Company acquired SRM Entertainment, Limited,
a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China limited company (“SRM”). SRM has relationships
with and supplies the amusement park industry with exclusive products that are often only available to consumers inside the relevant amusement
park, entertainment venues, and theme hotels in Orlando Florida, Beijing China, Japan, and other places throughout the worldwide theme
park industry.
Market Opportunity
The market
for hemp, and products based on extracts of hemp, is expected to grow substantially over the coming years. It is estimated by BDS Analytics
and Arcview Market Research that the collective market for CBD sales in the U.S. will surpass $20 billion by 2024 and that there will
be a compound annual growth rate of 49 percent by 2024 across all distribution channels.
While CBD
is an integral part of the Company’s operations, a pivot is underway moving away from consumer CBD products toward scientifically-backed
products that show promise as potential OTC and prescription products to address a wide range of conditions including hair loss, eczema,
burns, and sexual wellness. Specifically, each of the Company’s core products addresses a large market with unmet needs.

According
to Grand View Research, the U.S. sun care market size was estimated at $1.95 billion in 2016. The growing consumer awareness regarding
the ill-effects of over exposure to ultraviolet, or UV, rays on the undefended skin is expected to propel growth. The sun care market
is a highly competitive market and product differentiation in the sun care market is low. Given the relatively low amount of product differentiation,
we see an opportunity to carve out a unique market share with our CBD-infused sun care products. We cannot make any claims as to such
benefits prior to performing certain testing. We see an opportunity, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful, to
become the leading manufacturer of CBD-infused sun care products, marketing the CaniSun brand through an extensive digital and social
media awareness campaign. We announced the launch of our CaniSun sun care line of SPF 30, SPF 50 and SPF 55 face lotion on June 6, 2019.
We also sell our CBD-infused lip balm and CBD-infused SPF 30 sunscreen spray on our website Canisun.com.
Market Strategy
The Company
plans to seek acquisition opportunities including but not limited to other CBD, non-CBD, and OTC therapeutic brands and companies. The
Company may market such products as they are currently comprised or may seek to add CBD to the product. In the event the Company decides
to add CBD to such products, they intend to first conduct FDA-regulated clinical trials for safety and efficacy testing.
Jupiter
Wellness also intends to continue selling its consumer products online directly to consumers through its own website, and other third-party
marketplaces as these sites permit. Business-to-business sales (B2B) are being pursued for all the Company’s products.
Focusing
on B2B and business-to-consumer (B2C) sales/distribution will generally be accomplished through mass merchandise retail (MMR), wholesale,
e-commerce, and strategic licensing of intellectual property (IP). The Company has in place a sales team working to develop and maintain
relationships with MMR as well as smaller specialty retailers. Wholesale sales are primarily developed through contracted brokers to assist
in saturating independent retailers like smaller pharmacies, doctor offices, and drug stores. E-commerce initiatives focus heavily on
brand awareness and creating analytics-driven marketing campaigns to drive conversions and develop customer loyalty. Lastly, the Company
is actively engaged in the strategic licensing of IP, including formulations and know-how, to companies and partners around the world.
Website
The Company
expects to continually update and expand upon its corporate website and consumer-facing retail websites and further refine its online
retail strategies on an ongoing basis. JupiterWellness.com is the Company’s primary corporate website, which will serve as the primary
source of information about Jupiter Wellness for investors and contain press releases, product development pipeline, lab reports, media
coverage, and additional information about each of the Company’s product candidates. The Company anticipates that each brand will
have a front-facing website dedicated to retail sales and brand-specific information. For example, the Company’s line of sun care
products, NoStingz, has a website at NoStingzSPF.com and allows for the online retail purchase of the entire product line. As the Company
expands its brands they anticipate utilizing the same strategy and dedicating a new e-commerce website to each brand moving forward. The
Company is also building websites dedicated to servicing wholesale and larger distributor clients.
SRM Acquisition
On November
30, 2020, Jupiter Wellness entered into and closed the Exchange Agreement with SRM, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China limited company and wholly owned subsidiary of Vinco, and SRM Shareholders, under which Jupiter Wellness acquired 100%
of the SRM Common Stock from the SRM Shareholders in exchange for 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement, the Company assumed all of the financial obligations of SRM, as well as its employees and offices. As a result of
the Exchange Agreement, SRM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.,
SRM has
relationships with and supplies the amusement park industry with exclusive products such as toys, lights, fans, and other items that are
sold in amusement parks. SRM has developed, manufactured, and supplied the amusement park industry with exclusive products that are often
only available to consumers inside the relevant amusement park, entertainment venues, and theme hotels in Orlando Florida, Beijing China,
Japan, and other places throughout the worldwide theme park industry. SRM has developed unique products in conjunction with suppliers
of products for core licensed items for major well-known brands, themes, characters, and movies.
Products
developed by SRM are generally shipped directly to the theme park without warehousing at the Company’s facilities. SRM does not
have long-term agreements with its customers, and instead develops products on an item-by-item basis subject to purchase orders from its
customers.
Through SRM, the Company additionally intends to seek to sell its sun care
products in amusement parks and related beach-adjacent properties such as cruise lines and ocean resorts. Jupiter Wellness is currently
pursuing the sale of its jellyfish protection sun care products for sale in these locations.

Recent
Developments
In
July 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 11,066,258 shares (the “Company Offering
Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and warrants (the “Company Warrants”) to purchase up to 11,607,142
shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance with an exercise price of $2.79 per share and will
expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and Offering expenses, were $28,318,314, which includes net proceeds from partial exercise of the underwriter’s
option to purchase 1,741,071 Company Warrants, representing 15% of the Company Warrants sold in the base offering.
On
November 3, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sponsor Jupiter Wellness
Acquisition Corporation (“JWAC”) a SPAC, dedicated to investing in AI based therapeutics and diagnostics. On December 9,
2021, JWAC consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 13,800,000 at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross
proceeds of $138,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, JWAC consummated the sale of 629,000 placement units at a price
of $10.00 per placement unit in a private placement generating gross proceeds of $6,290,000. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had
invested $2,908,300 in Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC (“JWSL”), an affiliate, which in turn invested the funds to JWAC
On
January 20, 2022 the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that, because the Company made the Share Grants not pursuant to the
2021 Equity Plan despite them considered to be S-8 eligible, Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not comply with Listing Rule
5635(c). It was brought to our attention that 180,000 shares of common stock, out of the total 1,020,000 shares of common stock to consultants
(the “Consulting Share Awards”) that were issued to three consultants, Greentree Financial (100,000 shares), Inc., L&H
Inc. (20,000 shares), and Tee 2 Green Enterprises, Ltd. (60,000 shares), during the relevant period (the “Share Grants”),
should have been issued pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan because the Share Grants were considered to be S-8 eligible. As a result, the
inadvertent issuance of the Share Grants to the mentioned-above three consultants was not made in compliance with Listing Rule 5635(c).
The Company subsequently notified Nasdaq that the Board has approved the reallocation of the Share Grants to be accounted for as if they
were originally issued under the 2021 Equity Plan, and has made the corresponding change to the Company’s books and records. However,
since the 2021 Equity Plan has previously been exercised in full, to allow for the reallocation of the Share Grants under the 2021 Equity
Plan, on January 17, 2022, the Board determined that 100,000 options that have previously been issued under the 2021 Equity Plan to Brian
John, and 100,000 options issued to Dr. Glynn Wilson be cancelled, a revocation to which Messrs. John and Wilson have agreed. Following
the remedial measures the Company was informed that the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and that this matter is now closed.
On
June 28, 2022 the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that, because the Company made certain share issuances outside of a shareholder
approved equity compensation plan, Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not comply with Listing Rule 5635(c). On July 26, 2022,
the Company submitted a final compliance plan to Nasdaq consisting of the following corrective actions: (1) on July 20, 2022, the Company’s
four executive officers (Messrs. John, Miller, and McKinnon and Dr. Wilson), all of whom are on the Company’s Board of Directors
except for Mr. McKinnon, each cancelled 2,750 options issued to them in August 2021 pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option Forfeiture
Agreement. The cancellation of the 11,000 options in total enabled the issuance of 11,000 shares to a non-executive employee that took
place in 2021 to be reallocated to be accounted for as if it was originally issued under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company’s
Board of Directors passed a resolution on July 25, 2022, making the corresponding change to the Company’s books and records with
regard to the 11,000 shares; and (2) on July 26, 2022, the same four executive officers, returned, and the Company cancelled, a total
of 56,496 shares of common stock issued to them in 2021 outside of a shareholder approved equity compensation plan. Following the remedial
measures, the Company was informed that the Company has regained compliance with the Rule and that this matter is now closed.
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, SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong private limited
company, and Jupiter Wellness Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Significant
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of the financial statements requires us 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 as well as the reported
revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various
other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed
below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving
management’s judgments and estimates.

Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are 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 we 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. We have 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, we, 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 our 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.
The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”) and are expressed in United States Dollars. Significant accounting policies are summarized below:
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 September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
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.

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 an 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.
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, 2021, the Company recorded an allowance of $104,851 against accounts receivable acquired in connection with the acquisition of SRM
Entertainment and as of September 30, 2022, the Company had recognized no additional 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 Nine-months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December
31, 2021 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were not material.
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.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of our 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.

Table of Contents
Income
Taxes
We
account 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 our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018
tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained
on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to our financial position. Our 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, 2021 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state
effective tax rates equating to approximately $4,865,890 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $4,865,890. 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, 2021 and 2020.
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 $132,117 and $917,714 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
recognize 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 (“Inception”), we 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.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee 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 Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1,
2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows,
and financial statement disclosures.
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
did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on our financial statements.

4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that
evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act (i) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms
and (ii) are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the past three months and previous fiscal year, we implemented significant measures to remediate the previously disclosed ineffectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting, which included an insufficient degree of segregation of duties amongst our accounting
and financial reporting personnel, and the lack of a formalized and complete set of policy and procedure documentation evidencing our
system of internal controls over financial reporting. The remediation measures consisted of the hiring of individuals with appropriate
experience in internal controls over financial reporting, and the modification of our accounting processes and enhancement to our financial
controls, including the testing of such controls.
Other
than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the
Nine months ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION

1. Legal Proceedings
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, Mr. Koch and
Bedford Investment Partners, LLC (together, the “Koch Parties”) filed their answer and counterclaim, repeating the same claims
that caused the Company to file the lawsuit. On October 6, 2020, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings to dismiss the defendants’
counterclaim in its entirety. On April 24, 2021, the Company’s motion was granted and all counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice,
except the breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment claims. On June 04, 2021 the Koch Parties filed a Second Amended Counterclaim, re-alleging
their previous breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment counterclaims. On June 25, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss defendants’
Second Amended Counterclaim, which the parties briefed in summer 2021. On February 14, 2022, the court dismissed all of the Koch Parties’
counterclaims except to the extent that they alleged unjust enrichment against Jupiter and Mr. John. On March 22, 2022, the Parties engaged
in a Settlement Conference before The Honorable Sarah L. Cave, which did not resolve the case. On March 25, 2022, The Honorable Lewis
J. Liman granted Jupiter and Mr. John permission to move for summary judgment dismissing the Koch Parties’ unjust enrichment counterclaim,
which the parties briefed in spring 2022. Because the Court has not yet ruled on Jupiter and Mr. John’s motion for summary judgment,
the Court rescheduled this case’s jury trial from November 14, 2022 to March 27, 2023.
On
July 6 , 2020, Brian Menke (the “Plaintiff”) filled a lawsuit 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 payable to Ms. Whitley, the first $334,000 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.
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; (iii) agree that 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; (iv) 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; (v) agree that Ms. Whitley’s Employment Agreement shall terminate on March 31, 2021 and shall not renew;
and (vi) acknowledge that Ms. Whitley has been paid $5,541 for unreimbursed expenses on or about December 30, 2020; and (vii) the balance
of the note due Whitley be forgiven.
As
a result of the above, the Company recognized a gain of $669,200 in 2021, comprised of the forgiveness of debt of $691,500 and the write-off
of the unamortized portion of Whitley’s non-compete agreement of $22,300.
