ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements
included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere
in this report.
Overview
Based
on our diversified expertise in manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and technology services in a wide variety of consumer products,
including tobacco products, medical devices, and beverages, around the world, we have an innovative and consumer-focused approach to
brand portfolio management, resting on a strong understanding of consumers domestically, and we have established a footprint in more
than 50 key, international markets.
During
2021, we continued under our 2019 five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement with an unrelated party to manufacture, distribute,
and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER®
brand name. In 2020, our efforts had been devoted to phase one of our development of all HUSTLER®-branded products, which led us
to generating revenue during 2020 for the first time in several years.

Results
of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021, Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
2020
Sales
and Cost of Sales
During
the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had net sales of $700,656 and $528,232, respectively, and cost of sales of $262,411
and $195,838, respectively, for gross profit of $438,245 and $332,394, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had
net sales of $1,320,055 and $530,314, respectively, and cost of sales of $464,059 and $197,319, respectively, for gross profit of $855,996
and $332,995, respectively. The net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, consisted of product sales, which increased about
33% in the later year. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales included revenue received in the first quarter of 2021 related
to our agreement to develop and distribute certain HUSTLER® branded product, which was approximately 147% higher than net sales for
the corresponding period in the previous year. The gross profit was approximately equal as a percentage of net sales for all reporting
periods.
Operating
Expenses
During
the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, employee costs were $135,077 and $0, respectively, and selling, general, and administrative
expenses were $359,297 and $78,884, respectively, representing an increase in operating expenses of $415,490, or 527%, in the current
period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, employee costs were $268,965 and $0, respectively, and selling, general,
and administrative expenses were $638,595 and $161,544, respectively, representing an increase in operating expenses of $746,016, or
462%, in the current period. The increase in operating expenses period over period is the result of substantially increased activities
attributable to the development of products under the HUSTLER® brand name in 2020.
Other
Income and Expense
Other
income and expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, consisted of $168,726 and $156,568 in interest expense; a gain
of $13,131 and a loss of $289,050 on derivative valuation; and other income of $0 and $2,000, respectively. Other income and expenses
during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, consisted of $335,214 and $312,635 in interest expense; a loss on disposal of equipment
of $0 and $9,771, a loss of $114,660 and $358,264 on derivative valuation; and other income of $0 and $42,000, respectively. The decrease
in other expenses period over period is the result of a decrease in interest expense and a decrease to our loss on derivative valuation.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenue. Our accumulated deficit was $78.5 million
and $77.9 million at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had current assets
of $1,160,811 and $942,442, respectively, and current liabilities of $38.8 million and $38.1 million, respectively, creating working
capital deficits of approximately $37.6 million and $37.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Operating
Activities
We
have only nominal cash or short-term assets, while our current liabilities aggregated $38.8 million as of June 30, 2021. During the six
months ended June 30, 2021, operations used $81,207 of net cash, comprised of a loss from continuing operations of $501,438, noncash
items totaling $153,367 consisting primarily of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative liabilities and debt
discount amortization, repayment expenses paid by related parties on our behalf of $199,909, and changes in working capital totaling
$466,763. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, operations generated $205,592 of net cash, comprised of a net loss from continuing
operations of $467,219, noncash items totaling $431,049 consisting of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative
liabilities and expense paid by related parties on our behalf, and changes in working capital totaling $241,762.

Financing
Activities
During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, financing activities used $8,663 of cash, compared to using $103,261 of cash during the six months
ended June 30, 2020. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisted of proceeds from convertible
loans payable and repayments of related-party loans. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020, consisted
of advances from convertible debentures totaling $15,000, repayments of bank overdrafts of $1,611, repayments on related-party payables
of $262,350, advances from related parties of $10,700, advances from loans payable of $156,000, and repayments on loans payable $21,000.
Our
Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements
Our
monthly operating costs total approximately $143,000 per month, excluding approximately $50,000 of accruing interest expense and capital
expenditures. We are generating sales revenue under our Exclusive Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with GloBrands, LLC. Currently,
we do not have enough cash on hand to sustain our business operations, and we expect to access external capital resources in the near
future.
In
conjunction with our efforts to commercialize new products, we are actively seeking infusions of capital from investors. In our current
financial condition, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing. Even if we did acquire additional debt,
we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.
Accordingly,
we are looking to obtain equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining
such capital. If we were to issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this would dilute the value of our common stock and existing
stockholders’ positions. We also have no authorized but unissued capital available.
Convertible
Debentures
We
currently have an outstanding amended, restated, and consolidated secured convertible debenture with Tekfine, LLC, an unrelated entity,
with a maturity date of April 30, 2027, to the extent not previously converted. The amended debenture had a total outstanding principal
balance of $2.4 million, with accrued interest of $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021. We also have four additional convertible debentures
with Tekfine with maturity dates ranging from December 8, 2021, through May 30, 2022, totaling $275,000, unless earlier converted. The
convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $100 or $0.10 (depending
on the instrument) or the lowest bid price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion.
Going
Concern
These
interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing
will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly,
the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification
of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations.
