Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded
that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective.
The
conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal
control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the
material weaknesses are remediated.
Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
can be faulty and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) 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.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and
operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 based on the criteria set forth in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation
included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating
effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal
control over financial reporting was not effective as at December 31, 2020 due to the following material weaknesses which are
indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application
of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient
disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written whistle-blower policy.
We
plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting when our company has sufficient
staff to allocate responsibilities. During the period covered by this Report, we have not been able to remediate the material
weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes once our financial resources
will support the required staffing level: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties
and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting
and a whistle-blower policy; and (iii) implement sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems
and implement a disaster recovery plan. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (iii) are largely dependent upon our company
securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such
funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.
This
Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s
report in this Report.
Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Changes
In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2020 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The
following biographical information regarding our directors and executive officers.
Michael
Campbell . Mr. Campbell became our Chief Executive Officer on September 12, 2018. For the past 19 years, Mr. Campbell has
been the managing director of M1 Advisors LLC, a business advisory and consulting firm that has engineered, orchestrated and provided
support and services to numerous private-to-public transitions, debt and equity financings and hyper-organic-growth and consolidation
strategies in a wide range of industries. In addition, from December 2011 to February 2017, Mr. Campbell was the Chief Executive Officer
and a director of NXChain, Inc., a publicly-traded start-up shell company in the cryptocurrency business that was a successor to AgriVest
Americas Inc., a publicly-traded start-up shell company that sought to acquire cattle ranches in Brazil for conversion to soybean farms.
Mr. Campbell spent the first 20 years of his career in the high-tech industry creating and operating various companies that included
a computer retailing operation, data-storage peripheral company with three computer disk-drive manufacturing companies through joint
ventures with the Russian, Chinese and Spanish governments, a specialized call-center company for telco broadband provisioning and an
online broadband services ordering and order aggregation company with the Regional Bell Operating Companies.
Dean
S. Skupen . Mr. Skupen became our Chief Financial Officer on September 12, 2018. Mr. Skupen is a business advisor who has
provided various financial accounting services to, or acted as the Interim Chief Financial Officer for, a number of public companies
since 2010. Prior to that, he was a Partner at Stonefield Josephson, Inc. (now Marcum, LLP), an accounting firm with five offices
throughout California where he provided auditing and consulting services to public companies and to privately-held entrepreneurial
companies transitioning to public ownership in diverse industries. Mr. Skupen graduated from the University of Southern California
with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. In addition, he is licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in the State of
California.
All
of our officers are currently serving in such capacities as consultants to our company, and we presently have no employees. Our
officers and directors are also engaged in outside business activities. Our officers and directors, other than Mr. Campbell, anticipate
that they will devote limited time to our business until we are no longer a “shell” company and are engaged in an
active trade or business The specific amount of time that management will devote to our company may vary from week to week or
even day to day, and therefore the specific amount of time that management will devote to our company on a weekly basis cannot
be ascertained with any level of certainty. In all cases, management intends to spend as much time as is necessary to exercise
its fiduciary duties as officers and directors of our company.
15
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
None
of our directors and executive officers have been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1.
any
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either
at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2.
any
conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other
minor offences);
3.
being
subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities
or banking activities;
4.
being
found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, where the judgment has not been reversed,
suspended, or vacated;
5.
being
the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law
or regulation; (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited
to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent
cease- and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or
fraud in connection with any business entity; or being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange,
association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Director
Independence
We
currently have only one director: Michael Campbell. We have determined that Mr. Campbell is not an independent director, as that
term is used in the Nasdaq Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Once we have acquired significant assets and are no longer
a “shell” company, we will appoint one or more independent directors to our board of directors.
Board
Committees
We
do not have a standing Audit Committee. We do not believe that the lack of an Audit Committee has had or will have any adverse
effect on our financial statements, based upon current operations; however, our board of directors will consider establishing
an Audit Committee of independent directors as the number of directors increases. Until such time, our board of directors will
perform the duties of an Audit Committee including delegating an auditor firm and interacting with them.
We
do not have a standing Compensation Committee. Presently, our executive officers, who constitute our only employees, do not take
salary or other benefits from our company. As we continue to develop our initial products and commence selling such products on
a wholesale or retail basis, we expect to increase the size of our board to include independent directors who will approve the
compensation arrangements with our executive officers.
We
also do not have a Nominating Committee as we have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees
to our board of directors.
16
Code
of Ethics
Effective
January 29, 2004, our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members
of our board of directors, our company’s officers, contractors, consultants and advisors. We will provide a copy of the
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to our company at the address
on the cover of this Annual Report.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common
stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written
representations from certain reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own we believe that
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than
10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The
following table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to the chief executive officer (“CEO”) of
our company during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. No compensation was paid to any other executive officer of our

a person or entity is deemed to be the beneficial owner of common stock that can be acquired by such person or entity within sixty
(60) days upon the exercise of options or warrants or other rights to acquire common stock. Each beneficial owner’s percentage
ownership is determined by assuming that options and warrants that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person)
and which are exercisable within sixty (60) days have been exercised. The inclusion herein of such shares listed as beneficially
owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CalEthos, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CalEthos, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, as of December
31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory
Paragraph – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note
1, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2020, a net loss and periodic cash flow difficulties for year ended
December 31, 2020. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

Notes
to the Financial Statements
For
the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Note
1 - Organization and Accounting Policies
CalEthos,
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 20, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Since the second quarter of
2016, the Company has been a “shell” company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.
On
December 20, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada
to change the Company name from “RealSource Residential, Inc.” to “CalEthos, Inc.”. This amendment became effective
immediately upon filing on December 20, 2018.
Change
in Control
On
May 16, 2018, certain majority stockholders of the Company, including certain former directors and officers of the Company, entered into
a stock purchase agreement dated May 16, 2018 (the “Control Purchase Agreement”) with RealSource Acquisition Group, LLC,
a Utah limited liability company (“RealSource Acquisition”), whereby RealSource Acquisition agreed to purchase an aggregate
of 11,006,356 shares (440,256 shares after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (see Note 3) (the “Control Shares”) of
the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $180,000. Immediately prior to the
closing under the Control Purchase Agreement on September 12, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), RealSource Acquisition assigned
its rights under the Control Purchase Agreement to M1 Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“M1 Advisors”),
pursuant to a purchase agreement and assignment and assumption of contract rights dated as of August 28, 2018 between RealSource Acquisition
and M1 Advisors. M1 Advisors paid RealSource Acquisition $80,000 as consideration for such assignment.
Effective
on the Closing Date, and in accordance with the amended and restated by laws of the Company and the requirements of the Control Purchase
Agreement, (a) each of Michael S. Anderson, Nathan W. Hanks and V. Kelly Randall resigned as directors of the Company, (b) Michael Campbell,
the sole member of M1 Advisors, and Piers Cooper were elected to the Company’s board of directors, and (c) Mr. Hanks also resigned
as president and chief executive officer of the Company, Mr. Randall also resigned as chief operating office and chief financial officer
of the Company, Mr. Campbell was appointed the chief executive officer of the Company and Piers Cooper was appointed president of the
Company.
On
the Closing Date, the Company entered into a series A preferred stock purchase agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Preferred
Purchase Agreement”) with M1 Advisors, which is an entity controlled by Michael Campbell, the Company’s chief executive officer
and a director of the Company at such time, Piers Cooper, the Company’s president and a director of the Company at such time, the
members of RealSource Acquisition, and the other investors who were signatories thereto (collectively, the Purchasers”). Pursuant
to the Preferred Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 15,600,544 shares of the Company’s series
A preferred stock, which has since been re-designated as Founder preferred stock (“Founder Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate
purchase price of $16,000, or $0.001 per share. Of the Founder Preferred Stock purchased, 9,320,414 shares were purchased by M1 Advisors,
4,674,330 shares were purchased by Mr. Cooper and an aggregate of 1,195,000 shares were purchased by the members of RealSource Acquisition
or their assigns.
Immediately
following the above transactions, an aggregate of 15,600,544 shares of Founder Preferred Stock and 630,207 shares of common stock was
issued and outstanding. At such time, the shares of Founder Preferred Stock and common stock owned by M1 Advisors represented approximately
60.14% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis and the shares of Founder Preferred
Stock owned by Mr. Cooper represented approximately 28.80% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company on a
fully-diluted basis. The shares of Founder Preferred Stock acquired by M1 Advisors were purchased with funds that M1 Advisors borrowed
from another entity controlled by Mr. Campbell.
F- 7
Business
Activity
Following
the change in control, as described above, the board of directors determined to establish the Company in the rapidly-growing cannabis
industry, initially in the State of California. As of December 31, 2020, the primary activity of the Company’s management
is to develop and implement a plan to manufacture high-performance computer systems that are scalable, upgradeable and cost effective
for processing cryptocurrencies, tokens and blockchain-based transactions, and if other opportunities warrant, acquire assets
and all or part of other companies operating in the cryptocurrency mining hardware industry and or invest or joint venture with
other more established companies already in the industry. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, segment
of the cryptocurrency mining hardware industry or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture
of virtually any kind or nature that is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“GAAP”) and assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no established operations
as of December 31, 2020.
Accounting
Policies
The
Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting
policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of
the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments,
often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant
and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Going
Concern and Liquidity
The
Company incurred a net loss of approximately $756,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $10,082,000 as of December 31, 2020. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity
financing and shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in
connection with its operating activities.
The
Company’s financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The
Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful
development, marketing and branding of products; uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside
sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection
of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations
is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund its operations and generating a level of revenues adequate
to support the Company’s cost structure.
The
Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth targets.
However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms, when and if needed,
or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number
of factors, including market demand for the Company’s products and services, the success of product development efforts, the timing
of receipts for customer deposits, the management of working capital, and the continuation of normal payment terms and conditions for
purchase of goods and services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund its
operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to substantially
increase revenues, reduce expenditures, or otherwise generate cash flows from operations, then the Company will likely need to raise
additional funding from investors or through other avenues to continue as a going concern.
F- 8
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methodologies
considered to be appropriate and has determined that the book value of the Company’s prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, approximate fair value based of their short-term nature.
Fair
Value Measurement
Fair
value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable
inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs
are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that
market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The
fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value.
As
of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had no assets or liabilities that require fair value measurement.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates its fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and
2019, the Company held only cash deposits at a financial institution.
Related
Parties
The
Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 850-10 for the identification of related parties and
disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant
to ASC section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any
specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities
for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value
Option of ASC section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit
of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners
of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly
influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from
fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies
of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other
to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
F- 9
The
financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense
allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the
preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.)
the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal
amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary
to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each
of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that
used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if
not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company follows ASC section 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial
statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur
or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result
in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived
merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates
that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the
nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Debt
Discounts
The
Company accounts for debt discounts originating in connection with conversion features that remain embedded in the related notes in accordance
with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options . These costs are classified on the balance sheet as a direct deduction
from the debt liability. The Company amortizes these costs over the term of its debt agreements as interest expense - debt discount in
the statement of operations.
Warrant
Liability
In
connection with financing arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants
are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company
measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model as of the measurement date.
F- 10
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation ” using the fair value
based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over
the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which
an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities
in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of those equity instruments.
We
use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options.
The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting
periods.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based
on the difference between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate.
ASC 740 requires that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The
Company is a United States Company, incorporated in the state of Delaware and has its office in California. The Company has no foreign
operations.
The
tax reform bill that Congress voted to approve December 20, 2017, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, made sweeping
modifications to the Internal Revenue Code, including a much lower corporate tax rate, changes to credits and deductions, and a move
to a territorial system for corporations that have overseas earnings. The act replaced the prior-law graduated corporate tax rate, which
taxed income over $10 million at 35%, with a flat rate of 21%.
The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable
for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions
of enacted tax laws; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. If necessary, the measurement of deferred
tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence.
The
Company has adopted guidance related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes rules for recognition, measurement
and classification in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance prescribes
a two-step approach which involves evaluating whether a tax position will be more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood)
sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the
more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that
is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
F- 11
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The
Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority nor has the Company been notified of a pending examination. The statute
of limitations for which the Company is generally no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities is
for years before 2013.
Earnings
Per Share
We
use ASC 260, “ Earnings Per Share ” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. We compute basic
earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options
and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, in that any potential common
stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share.
There
were 1,800,214 common share equivalents at December 31, 2020 and 1,397,000 common share equivalents at December 31, 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted. These securities
were not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Changes
to accounting principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs on our financial
position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof. The Company reviewed all recently issued pronouncement in 2021,
but not yet effective, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact
on the Company’s financial condition or the results of its operations.
Note
2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
equivalents are short-term cash investments, which are made for varying periods of up to three (3) months, depending on the immediate
cash requirements of the Company and earn interest at prevailing short-term investment rate. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company
held only cash deposits at a financial institution amounting to $0 and $123,000, respectively.
Note
3 – Related Party Transactions
The
Company incurred approximately $180,000 for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and paid approximately $112,000 and $180,000,
respectively, to M1 Advisors for the services of the Company’s CEO and miscellaneous operating expenses.

Note 5
– Notes Payable
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
issued a promissory note for $11,000 (“Promissory Note”). The total proceeds were $10,000, due to approximately $1,000 for
an original issue discount. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing with the principal due and payable in August 2020. Any amount
of unpaid principal on the date of maturity will accrue interest at rate of 10% per annum (default interest). The original issue discount
was amortized over the term of the Promissory Note, which was one month. As of September 30, 2020, the Promissory note was in default,
so the Company accrued approximately $1,000 of default interest.
Note
6 – Convertible Promissory Notes
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $213,000 (the “Notes”).
The total cash proceeds were approximately $60,000, approximately $147,000 from the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into convertible
promissory note and approximately $6,000 original issue discount (“OID”). The Notes are non-interest bearing with the principal
due and payable starting in February 2021. Any amount of unpaid principal on the date of maturity will accrue interest at rate of 10%
per annum (default interest). The principal amount and all accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common
stock, as of the date of issuance, at a rate of $1.00 per share (“Conversion Rate”). The conversion rate is adjustable if,
at any time when any principal amount of the Notes remains unpaid or unconverted, the Company issues or sells any shares of the Company’s
common stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting
discounts or allowances in connection therewith), which is less than the Conversion Rate in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed
issuance) of such shares of common stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”). Immediately upon a Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Rate
will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance. Events of default include
failure to issue conversion shares, the occurrence of a breach or default under any other agreement, any money judgment, writ or similar
process entered or filed against the Company or any its property or other assets for more than $100,000, bankruptcy filing, application
for the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver, insolvency, the Company’s common stock delisted, or dissolution, winding
up, or termination of the business of the Company.
In
connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company issued to the purchasers of the Notes stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 359,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustments.
F- 12
In
accordance with ASC 470 - Debt , the Company has accounted for the issuance of the Notes as an extinguishment of the series A preferred
stock. Under extinguishment accounting, the difference between the fair value of the Notes and book basis of the series A preferred stock
of $86,000 was accounted for as a loss on extinguishment. Also, the fair value of the Warrants of $52,000 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment.
The difference between the fair value of the Notes and the face value of the notes of $58,000 was recorded as additional paid on capital.
In addition, the Company has allocated the cash proceeds amounts of the Notes among the Notes, the warrants and the conversion
feature. The relative fair value of the warrants issued totaled approximately $3,000 and of the beneficial conversion totaled approximately
$0, which amounts are being amortized and expensed over the term of the Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the amortization
expense was approximately $187,000.
The
Company determined that the conversion feature of the Notes would not be an embedded feature to be bifurcated and accounted for as a
derivative in accordance with ASC 818-15 Derivatives and Hedging .
The convertible promissory notes consisted of the following:
December 31, 2020
December 31, 2019

$ 708,000
$ 506,000

(2,000 )
(79,000 )

–
(85,000 )
Net balance
$ 703,000
$ 323,000
The
discounts of $5,000 as of December 31, 2020, will be amortized and expensed over the remaining contractual life of the convertible promissory
notes. The amortization expense will be approximately $5,000 for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Interest
expense on default convertible notes amounted to approximately $39,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019.

Preferred
Stocks
Founders
Preferred Stock
On
September 12, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved, and the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Nevada, a certificate of designation pursuant to which 15,754,744 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock were designated
as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock had one vote per share, had other rights, including upon liquidation of the
Company, identical to those of the Company’s common stock, and was automatically convertible into shares of the Company’s
common stock, initially on a one-for-one basis, upon any increase in the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s
common stock to a number that will allow for the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted in full.
On
September 12, 2018, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 15,754,744 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $16,000.
On
October 14, 2018, the board of directors of Company approved, and on October 22, 2018, the holders of all of the outstanding shares of
the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock consented to, an amendment to the certificate of designation that the Company filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to create the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, to change the designation of the outstanding
Series A Preferred Stock from “Series A Preferred Stock” to “Founder Preferred Stock.” An amendment to the Certificate
to effect such change was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on October 29, 2018.
On
December 20, 2018, all of the Founder Preferred Stock was converted into 15,754,744 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock
In
January 2019, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$69,000, or $1.38 per share.
The
Company initiated a private placement of shares of series A convertible preferred stock. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, the Company sold 50,000 and 35,975, respectively, shares of Series A for total proceeds of approximately $69,000 and $50,000, respectively,
or $1.38 per share.
The
Series A is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $1.38 per share, subject to adjustments based
on the Company’s future sales of financial instruments at a value less than $1.38 per share. The holders of the Series A have the
right to convert any time after the date of issuance. With the issuance of the convertible promissory notes, as explained in Note 5
above, the Series A’s conversion rate adjusted to $1.00 per share. In accordance with ASC 470, the Company has calculated
the effect of the conversion rate adjustment, which was approximately $36,000. The conversion rate adjustment has been treated as a deemed
dividend, which has been presented in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit.
The
Series A is mandatorily convertible upon (i) the closing of the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to the public in an
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting
in at least $10,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Company, (ii) the close of business on the sixtieth consecutive day on which the closing
price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets is at least $2.80 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event
of any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the common stock, or (iii) the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66⅔% of the outstanding shares of Series A, given at a meeting of such stockholders
duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders all outstanding shares of Series A shall automatically
be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the then effective conversion rate.
F- 14
On
any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company
(or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A shall be entitled to cast the
number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A held by such holder are convertible
as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions
of the Articles of Incorporation, holders of Series A shall vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class.
From
and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series A, a cumulative dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to ten percent of the Series A original issue price. Accrued dividends on the Series A shall be
paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, such shares to be valued for such purpose at the applicable series A conversion price.
On
February 11, 2020, the Company converted 85,975 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal
amount approximately $147,000.
Issuance
of Stock Options
The
Company entered into three separate consulting agreements with provisions for the issuance of options under the Company’s 2019
Stock Options Plan to purchase 685,000, 250,000 and 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Options will have a life of
three years from the vesting date and an exercise price of $0.001 per share with the following vesting terms:
Option
to purchase 685,000 shares
i.
385,000 shares vest upon
the signing of the consulting agreement; and
ii.
300,000 shares vest on
the first anniversary of the date on which the consultant serves as full-time employee as the Company’s Vice President of Capital
Markets. As of the expiration of the contract, the employee was not hired by the Company. These options would have been issued if
the performance condition was met. As the performance condition was not met prior to expiration of the contract, these options
were neither issued nor ever granted.
Option
to purchase 250,000 shares
i.
50,000
shares vest upon the completion of the Company’s first Retail Showcase Store. As the performance condition was not met prior
to expiration of the contract, these options were neither issued nor ever granted;
ii.
100,000
shares vest on the first anniversary date on which the consultant serves as the Vice President of Retail Store Development of the
Company as full-time employee. As the performance condition was not met prior to expiration of the contract, these options were
neither issued nor ever granted; and
iii.
100,000
shares to vest 1/12 th per month thereafter. As the performance condition was not met prior to expiration of the contract,
these options were neither issued nor ever granted.
Option
to purchase 15,000 shares
i.
15,000
shares to vest upon the completion of the Company’s first Retail Showcase Store. As the performance condition was not met
prior to expiration of the contract, these options were neither issued nor ever granted.
The
options that could be granted to the consultants will be performance-based awards to be vested once the individuals are considered
to be employees of the Company. Each of the consultants has the option to become a full-time employee only after Company has received
a minimum of $5,000,000 in debt or equity financing for the Company’s operations (the “Financing”). This is the time
that the Company would begin to operate and use the services of the three option holders. Until the Financing occurs, the Company will
be in the predevelopment stage of its intended business model. As of 12/31/2020 all of these consultant agreements had been terminated,
as such, no options were issued nor ever granted.
An
option to purchase 385,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for $0.001 per share, was granted and vested on April 1, 2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the compensation expense, classified as professional fees in the statement of operations, was $577,000,
which was calculated using the BSM fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of
issuance: volatility of 324%, fair value of common stock $1.50, term of option 3 years, risk free rate of 2.29% and dividend rate of
$0.

Note
8 – Deferred Tax Assets and Income Tax Provision
Deferred
Tax Assets
At
December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for Federal income tax purposes of
$1,425,000 that may be offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net
operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements because the Company believes that the realization of the
Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $1,425,000 was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the
potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a full valuation allowance.
On
September 12, 2018, the Company believes that an “ownership change” has occurred within the meaning of Sections 382 and 383
of the Code. An ownership change is generally defined as a more than 50 percentage point increase in equity ownership by “5 percent
shareholders” (as that term is defined for purposes of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code) in any three-year period or since the
last ownership change if such prior ownership change occurred within the prior three-year period. As a result of the ownership change
on September 12, 2018, the limitations on the use of pre-change losses and other carry forward tax attributes in Sections 382 and 383
of the Code apply and the Company will not be able to utilize any portion of their NOL carry forwards from the years prior to December
31, 2017 and the portion of the NOL for 2018 allocable to the portion of the year prior to September 12, 2018. The utilization of the
NOL for 2018 allocable to the portion of the year after September 12, 2018 and the NOLs from subsequent years should not be affected
by the ownership change on the September 12, 2018.
F- 16
Deferred
tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred
tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realization. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $93,000 and
$161,000 for the reporting periods ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Components
of deferred tax assets are as follows as of December 31:

Note
9 – Subsequent Events
The
Company has evaluated all events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued
to determine if they must be reported. The management of the Company determined the following reportable non-adjusting event:
On
January 5, 2021, Piers Cooper (“Mr. Cooper”), our President and a member of our Board of Directors, resigned as an
officer and director of our company (“Termination Agreement”). As part of the Termination Agreement, Mr. Cooper’s
agreed to return 3,674,330 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Cancelled Shares”). The Cancelled shares
were to be returned within thirty days of Mr. Cooper’s execution of the Termination Agreement, which was January 5, 2021.
The Cancelled Shares were returned and cancelled on April 19, 2021.
In
January 2021, the Company issued a promissory note for cash amounting to $15,000 with 8% annual interest per year and a maturity date
of March 31, 2022. Interest will be computed starting January 11, 2021 and payable at maturity date together with the principal amount.
In the event of default, the interest rate of the note shall increase to 10% per annum and computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed and a 365-day year.
In
February 2021, the Company issued a promissory note for cash amounting to $25,000 with 10% annual interest per year and a maturity date
of February 19, 2022. The principal and accrued interest is payable in a single installment on or before the maturity date. In the event
of default, the interest rate of the note shall increase to 15% per annum and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
and a 365-day or 366-day year.
F- 17
In
March 2021, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $55,000 (the “Note”). The total proceeds
were approximately $50,000, due to approximately $5,000 for an original issue discount. The Note is non-interest bearing with the principal
due and payable starting in March 2022. Any amount of unpaid principal on the date of maturity will accrue interest at rate of
10% per annum (default interest). The principal amount and all accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common
stock, as of the date of issuance, at a rate of $1.00 per share (“Conversion Rate”). The conversion rate is adjustable if,
at any time when any principal amount of the Notes remains unpaid or unconverted, the Company issues or sells any shares of the Company’s
common stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting
discounts or allowances in connection therewith), which is less than the Conversion Rate in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed
issuance) of such shares of common stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”). Immediately upon a Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Rate
will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance. Events of default include
failure to issue conversion shares, the occurrence of a breach or default under any other agreement, any money judgment, writ or similar
process entered or filed against the Company or any of its property or other assets for more than $100,000, bankruptcy filing, application
for the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver, insolvency, the Company’s common stock delisted, or dissolution, winding
up, or termination of the business of the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company issued to the purchasers
of the Notes stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 27,500 shares of the Company’s common
stock for a purchase price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustments.
In
February 2021, the Company signed a new consulting agreement that granted one of its shareholders an option to purchase
750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.001 per share for the consultancy work provided from August 2020
to February 2021. The options were fully vested on the date of issuance.
In
March 2021, the CEO agreed to forgive approximately $68,000 due to him.
In
March 2021, the CFO agreed to reduce amount due to him from approximately $127,000 to $30,000. For the reduction of $97,000, the
Company will issue 75,000 shares of common stock. The remaining liability of $30,000 will be paid in cash.
In April 2021, the
Company issued a promissory note for cash amounting to $8,550 with 0% annual interest per year if paid at a maturity date of July 5,
2021. In the event of default, the interest rate of the note shall increase to 8% per annum and computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed and a 365-day or 366-day year.
In April 2021, an option holder exercised two options for 385,000 and 750,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 for both options. The shares for the options have yet to be issued.
In
April 2021, the Company issued a promissory note for cash amounting to $50,000 with 10% annual interest per year and a maturity date
of April 22, 2022. The principal and accrued interest is payable in a single installment on or before the maturity date. In the event
of default, the interest rate of the note shall increase to 15% per annum and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
and a 365-day or 366-day year.
