−Removed: Accounting Policies
−Removed: financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
−Removed: (“GAAP”).
−Removed: accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership
−Removed: of promised goods.
−Removed: The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to
−Removed: receive in exchange for these goods.
−Removed: The Company applies the following five steps:
−Removed: the contract with a customer
−Removed: contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each
−Removed: party’s rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially
−Removed: all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable.
−Removed: For the Company, the contract is the approved sales
−Removed: order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers.
−Removed: the performance obligation in the contract
−Removed: obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or that will be transferred to the customer.
−Removed: Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer.
−Removed: the transaction price
−Removed: transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring
−Removed: goods and is generally stated on the approved sales order.
−Removed: Variable consideration, which typically includes volume-based rebates
−Removed: or discounts, are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method.
−Removed: the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
−Removed: our contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated
−Removed: to that single performance obligation.
−Removed: Revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
−Removed: Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the
−Removed: goods, which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse.
−Removed: Customer sales incentives such as volume-based
−Removed: rebates or discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized.
−Removed: Shipping and handling costs are
−Removed: treated as fulfillment costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
−Removed: account for share-based employee compensation plans under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions in accordance
−Removed: with applicable accounting standards, which require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options and
−Removed: restricted stock units (RSUs), to be measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the resulting expense generally
−Removed: recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the
−Removed: issue debt that may have separate warrants, conversion features, or no equity-linked attributes.
−Removed: When we issue debt with warrants,
−Removed: we determine the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the stock
−Removed: price on the date of issuance, the risk free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility
−Removed: of our stock.
−Removed: When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements
−Removed: to be treated as a derivative.
−Removed: If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative,
−Removed: we estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance, using the stock price
−Removed: on the date of issuance, the risk free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the estimated volatility of our
−Removed: If the conversion feature is not treated as a derivative, we assess whether it is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF’).
−Removed: A BCF exists if the conversion price of the convertible debt instrument is less than the stock price on the commitment date.
−Removed: typically occurs when the conversion price is less than the fair value of the stock on the date the instrument was issued.
−Removed: value of a BCF is equal to the intrinsic value of the feature, the difference between the conversion price and the common stock
−Removed: into which it is convertible.
−Removed: Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
−Removed: components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and
−Removed: Hedging.”
−Removed: The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of any derivative is marked-to-market each balance
−Removed: sheet date and recorded as a liability.
−Removed: In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value
−Removed: is recorded in the statement of operations as gain/loss from derivative liability.
−Removed: Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative
−Removed: instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
−Removed: We analyzed the derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815.
−Removed: The objective is to provide guidance for determining
−Removed: whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock.
−Removed: This determination is needed for a scope
−Removed: exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method.
−Removed: The classification of a non-derivative
−Removed: instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
−Removed: Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”
−Removed: also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s
−Removed: A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must
−Removed: be accounted for as a liability.
−Removed: There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed
−Removed: to an entity’s own stock.
−Removed: First, the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed
−Removed: by an evaluation of the instrument’s settlement provisions.
−Removed: The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the
−Removed: Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or
−Removed: sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
−Removed: of Operations
−Removed: and cost of revenue

−Removed: expenses decreased $271,886 (76%) from $358,455 in 2019 to $86,569 in 2020.

−Removed: year as business resume after COVID restriction lifted.
−Removed: expense decreased $10,414 (11%), from $92,608 in 2019, to $82,194 in 2020.

−Removed: fees decreased $43,081 (36%), from $118,971 in 2019, to $75,890 in 2020.
−Removed: The decrease was due primarily to services related to

−Removed: We engaged consultants in the areas of sales
−Removed: operations during both 2020 and 2019.
