Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,
we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021, due to inadequate segregation of duties.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The framework
used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated
Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,
we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021.
Management
has identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
Management
has concluded that there is a material weakness due to the control environment. The control environment is impacted due to the Company’s
inadequate segregation of duties. In addition, we note that a different person was identified as our principal financial officer in
each of our last three annual reports on Form 10-K. This lack of continuity and institutional knowledge has also affected internal control
over financial reporting.
Since
the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify material weaknesses, management considers
its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.
Management
recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective
internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect
material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of
changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
In
an effort to remediate the identified material weakness and enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we plan to hire additional
financial personnel to help ensure that we are able to properly implement internal control procedures.
This
report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless
of any general incorporation language in such filing.

following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of fiscal 2021 or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were
or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total
assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration
that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to or better than terms
available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.
The
Company’s policy with regard to related party transactions requires any related party loans that are (i) non-interest bearing and
in excess of $100,000 or (ii) interest bearing, irrespective of amount, must be approved by the Company’s board of directors. All
issuances of securities by the Company must be approved by the board of directors, irrespective of whether the recipient is a related
party. Each of the foregoing transactions, if required by its terms, was approved in this manner.
Director
Independence
We
use the definition of “independence” standards as defined in the NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent
director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship, which, in
the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the
responsibilities of a director. We have determined as of December 31, 2021 that five of our seven directors are independent, which constitutes
a majority.

Audit
Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Under
the SEC’s rules, an audit committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered
public accounting firm in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The SEC’s rules specify the
types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the audit committee’s
responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Company has established
an Audit Committee. Accordingly, audit services and non-audit services described in this Item 14 were pre-approved by an Audit Committee.
There
were no hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most
recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent
employees.

Barfresh
Food Group, Inc.
Los
Angeles, California
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations ,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Barfresh Food Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 Barfresh Food Group, Inc. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Barfresh Food Group Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audits 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 entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was 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 a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Debt
and Equity Transactions
As
discussed in Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has entered into debt and equity agreements which
include stock-based compensation, debt modification and derivative liabilities. These agreements include transactions, including the
issuance of stock options, that are required to be recorded at estimated fair value. These transactions resulted in recording of stock-based
compensation expense of $91,959 and a loss on debt extinguishment of $193,562 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the valuation
of a derivative liability of $25,170 as of May 26, 2021.
The
Company’s determination of the estimated fair values involves the identification of related financial instruments and a clear understanding
of the terms of the agreements. Auditing management’s estimates of fair value requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an
increased extent of effort, including the need to carefully examine to understand the true nature of the related agreements.
Our
audit procedures related to determination of the estimated fair values of these debt and equity transactions included the following,
among others:
● We
obtained an understanding of management’s process and methodology to develop the estimates.
● We
obtained an understanding of the internal controls relating to the methodology, reliability
and accuracy of the information used in the calculation and management’s review and
approval for the transactions.
● We
examined signed contracts and amendments.
● We
evaluated the reasonableness of the inputs and assumptions used by management in developing
the estimates.
● We
evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures related to these fair value measurements.

financial statements have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the 1-for-13 reverse stock split.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Barfresh Inc. and
Barfresh Corporation Inc. (formerly known as Smoothie, Inc.). All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been
eliminated upon consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
amount of cash on deposit with financial institutions exceeds the $ 250,000 federally insured limit at December 31, 2021 and 2020. However,
we believe that cash on deposit that exceeds $ 250,000 in the financial institutions is financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
Restricted
Cash
At
both December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $ 142,382 in restricted cash related to our co-packing agreement.

Fair
Value Measurement
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which
are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing
the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:
Level
1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and
liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Level
2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported
date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced
with models using highly observable inputs.
Level
3 - Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level
3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts
used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.
Our
financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, advanced payments, derivative liabilities, convertible
notes, restricted cash, and Paycheck Protection Plan (“PPP”) loan payable. The carrying value of our financial instruments
approximates their fair value, except for the derivative liability in which carrying value is fair value.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are typically unsecured. The Company’s credit policy calls for payment generally within 30 days. The credit worthiness
of a customer is evaluated prior to a sale. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts
was $ 121,230
and $ 133,424
respectively. There was ($ 7,000 )
of bad debt recoveries recorded for the year
ended December 31, 2021, and $ 133,424 of
bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. The allowance was applied to certain receivable accounts which are over 95 days.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of finished goods and is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first in first out basis. The Company
monitors the remaining useful life of its inventory and establishes a reserve of obsolescence where appropriate.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets are comprised of patents, net of amortization and trademarks. The patent costs are being amortized over the life of the patent,
which is twenty years from the date of filing the patent application. In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and
Other (“ASC 350”), the costs of internally developing other intangible assets, such as patents, are expensed as incurred.
However, as allowed by ASC 350, costs associated with the acquisition of patents from third parties, legal fees and similar costs relating
to patents have been capitalized.
In
accordance with ASC 350 legal costs related to trademarks have been capitalized. We have determined that trademarks have an indeterminable
life and therefore are not being amortized.
Long-Lived
Assets and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
We
evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable
cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates
that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced
to fair value. We have not recorded any impairment charges during the years presented.

on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of
the useful life of the asset or the lease term that includes any expected renewal periods that are deemed to be reasonably assured. The
estimated useful lives used for financial statement purposes are:

Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains ownership of promised goods.
The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these
goods. The Company applies the following five steps:
1)
Identify
the contract with a customer
A
contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s
rights, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration
for goods or services that are transferred is probable. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also
be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers.
2)
Identify
the performance obligation in the contract
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. For the
Company, this consists of the delivery of frozen beverages, which provide immediate benefit to the customer.
3)
Determine
the transaction price
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods
and is generally stated on the approved sales order. Variable consideration, which typically includes volume-based rebates or discounts,
are estimated utilizing the most likely amount method.
4)
Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Since
our contracts contain a single performance obligation, delivery of frozen beverages, the transaction price is allocated to that single
performance obligation.
5)
Recognize
Revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of frozen beverages when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods,
which generally occurs at the time of delivery to a customer warehouse. Customer sales incentives such as volume-based rebates or
discounts are treated as a reduction of sales at the time the sale is recognized. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment
costs and presented in distribution, selling and administrative costs.
Payments
that are received before performance obligations are recorded are shown as current liabilities.
The
company evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue and concluded that substantially all of its revenue comes from a single
product, frozen beverages.

Research
and Development
Expenditures
for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. We incurred $ 244,609 and
$ 515,145 , in research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Shipping
and Storage Costs
Shipping
and Storage costs are included in general and administrative expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, shipping
and handling costs totaled $ 1,054,182
and $ 488,465 ,
respectively.
Leases
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease upon inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The right to control the use of an asset includes
the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the underlying asset and the right to direct how and for what purpose
the asset is used. After adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related standards, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized
at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term. As a lessee, the Company leases office space.
Income
Taxes
The
provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC
740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements,
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax
positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of
being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
ASC
740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized.
For
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 we did not have any interest and penalties or any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Derivative
Liability
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components
of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of any derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded
as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of
operations as gain/loss from derivative liability. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to
fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments
in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed
to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted
for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether
the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock
cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument
or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any,
must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument’s settlement provisions. The Company utilized the fair value standard
set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred)
or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Earnings
per Share
We
calculate net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share . Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed
by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period in the denominator. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 any equivalents would
have been anti-dilutive as we had losses for the years then ended.
Debt
Extinguishment
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.” For
all extinguishments of debt, ASC 470-50 requires the difference between the reacquisition price (including any premium) and the net carrying
amount of the debt being extinguished (including any deferred debt issuance costs) to be recognized as a gain or loss when the debt is
extinguished. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net loss of $ 193,562
and net gain of $ 379,200 ,
respectively, non-cash gain/loss on extinguishment of debt in its statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
calculate stock compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Based Compensation (“ASC 718”).
ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and establishes
fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based
measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees.
Recent
pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have not determined if the
impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have an impact on our results of operations and financial position.

On
March 20, 2020, the Company obtained a 24-month extension on $ 1,071,000 in principal, and conversion of $ 720,000 of principal of the
Milestone I Convertible Notes at a conversion price of $ 6.50 per share. The remaining $ 110,166 was extended for thirty days. The interest
rate on the principal balance of the extended Milestone I Convertible Notes was amended to 15 %. Furthermore, the Company obtained a 12-month
extension on $ 168,000 in principal, and conversion of $ 1,128,000 in principal of the Milestone II Convertible Notes. The Convertible
Noteholders of the Milestone I and II Convertible Notes were granted additional interest depending upon their election to convert or
extend their Convertible Notes. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments
(“ASC 470-50”), which states that for all extinguishments of debt, the difference between the reacquisition price (including
any premium) and the net carrying amount of the debt being extinguished (including any deferred debt issuance costs) should be recognized
as a gain or loss when the debt is extinguished. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $ 379,200 which
was comprised of a gain of $ 437,201 related to notes that were converted to 366,925 shares of common stock and a loss of $ 58,001 related
to convertible notes that were extended by either 24 months for Milestone I Convertible Notes, or 12 months for Milestone II Convertible
Notes.

the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company settled the remaining Milestone I Convertible Notes by issuing 89,173 shares of common
stock in exchange for $ 231,000 ($ 30,000 related party) and $ 192,663 ($ 37,689 related party) in principal and interest, respectively,
and repaying $ 840,000 ($ 180,000 related party) in cash. Additionally, the Company settled the remaining amounts due under Milestone II
Convertible Notes by issuing 44,818 shares of common stock in exchange for $ 168,000 and $ 41,747 of principal and interest, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 470-50, the Company recorded a loss of $ 193,562 upon extinguishment of the Milestone I and Milestone II Convertible
Notes.

8. Derivative Liabilities
Milestone
II Convertible Notes (Note 7) contained variable conversion provisions based on the future price of the Company’s common stock,
resulting in the potential issuance of an indeterminate number of shares of common stock upon conversion. The Company measured the fair
value of the derivative resulting from the variable conversion provisions each reporting period. The fair value was reported as a derivative
liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the change in value was recorded as a gain or loss in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.
On
May 26, 2021, the Milestone II Convertible Notes were settled. Upon extinguishment, the derivative liability was revalued to $ 25,170 ,
which resulted in a gain of $ 16,305 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The
fair value of the derivative liabilities for Milestone II Convertible Notes was calculated using the Black-Scholes model using the following

10. Stockholders’ Equity
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed a funding, including a Private Placement Offering for common shares priced at
$ 6.50 per share (subject to adjustment) in the amount of $ 3,825,000 and the issuance of 588,462 shares. The investors of this Private
Placement Offering were granted 294,231 O warrants, exercisable for a period of 3 years at an exercise price of $ 7.80 per share (subject
to adjustment). If the volume-weighted average trading price for the 20 consecutive trading days that conclude upon 6 months after the
initial closing (the “Six Month Price”) exceeds or equals $6.50 per share (the “Target Price”), the per share
purchase price will not be adjusted. If the Six Month Price is less than the Target Price, the per share purchase price will be automatically
reduced to the Six Month Price, but in no event less than $4.55 per share, in which case the Company shall issue to each investor, pro-rata
based on such investor’s investment: (a) shares in a quantity that equals the difference between the number of shares issued to
such purchaser at closing and the number of shares that would have been issued to such purchaser at closing at the Six Month Price; and
(b) a warrant for 0.50 shares for each additional share issued, with an exercise price equal to the sum of $1.30 per share and the Six
Month Price, but in no event less than $5.85 per share. On September 28, 2020, the Company issued 409,451 additional shares in accordance
with provisions of the Private Placement Offering and an additional 204,726 warrants exercisable at $ 5.85 per share.
In

ASC
740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive
and negative, management has determined that a $ 12,669,000
and $ 11,345,000
allowance at December
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The increase in the valuation allowance for the current period is $ 1,324,000
resulting for current
year tax losses, including the 2021 loss adjusted for the PPP loan forgiveness and the true up of prior year net operating loss carryforwards.
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward to offset future taxable income of approximately $ 45,272,000 ,
$ 28,482,000 of which begins to expire in 2033. Net operating loss carry forwards of $ 16,790,000 may be carried forward indefinitely.
