“approximately,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,”
“ongoing,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although the absence of these words does not necessarily
mean that a statement is not forward-looking. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which
may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Factors that may cause or contribute actual results to differ from

the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund a portion of its operations;
·
industry competition;
·

All forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date of this Report. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or
other information contained herein. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that

Kisses From Italy Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September
30, 2021 and 2020
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Kisses From Italy Inc. (the “Company”)
was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant
business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company
commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, which are located
in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following ten months. All locations,
which are in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due
to a hurricane and has not re-opened that location. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham
stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy,
in October 2019. Such location will serve as the distribution center for products for European locations. The Bari location was closed
in the fourth quarter of 2020 and currently remains closed as of the date of this Report due to Covid-19.
On May 28, 2021 the Company opened its first franchise
in Chino, California. Due to the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees so that the franchisee could
well establish the operations at that location.
The Company’s accounting year-end is December
31.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a
negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and
many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic
are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may
have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent
of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.
All of the Company’s three corporate-owned
restaurants which are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Bari, Italy, and within the Wyndham location in Pompano Beach, Florida, have
fully re-opened subject to recommended social distancing guidelines. The Company’s hotel locations were closed longer than other
sites due to CDC recommendations.
Except for our Bari location, our US locations
are now open and are operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels. There can be no assurances that we will be allowed to remain open at
full capacity or that we can maintain current sales levels.

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements.
On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception.
Because the Company does not expect that existing
operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative
sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements of equity and convertible debt as interim
measures to finance working capital needs and may continue its efforts to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or
other securities and obtain short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to do so until its consolidated operations become
profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its common stock to maximize working capital, and intends
to continue this practice where feasible.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful
accounts, inventories, purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial
instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements.
The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
7
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value
of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate
of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts
on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance
when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past
due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.
As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020,
our trade receivable amounted to $ 6,137 and $ 5,761 , respectively, with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $- 0 - for both periods.
Other Receivable
Other receivables are comprised of two components,
a receivable from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”) and Value Added Tax at the Company’s Bari location
in Italy.
The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers
to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak.
The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000 for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained from March 13,
2020, to Dec. 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee from Jan. 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The Company qualifies as an
employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the Company’s gross receipts fell below 50% for the same quarter
in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had ERC credits receivable of
$ 45,939 and $- 0 - respectively.
Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”),
applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the
VAT tax ranges between 4 and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had a VAT net
receivable from its Bari location amounting to $ 4,839 .
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s
Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur
in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari
location.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated
into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign
currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s
operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates.
Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical
rate when the transaction occurred.
Since the Company began the branded retail products
operations initiative in Canada in late 2020, the difference in the exchange rate and the average monthly rate did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
8
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines
of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represent franchise revenue; and food and beverage
product sold which is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue is recognized using the five
step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606.
Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents third-party
ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our
majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s
interest shown as non-controlling interest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
the Company cash equivalents totaled $ 13,347 and $ 37,336 , respectively.
Property and equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line
method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any
resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Estimated useful lives of property
Computers, software, and office equipment
1 – 6 years
Machinery and equipment
3 – 5 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of lease term or estimated
useful life
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB
ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” . Under FASB ASC 740, 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 bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the 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. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax
position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
9
The amount recognized is measured as the largest
amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity
of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might
cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
On Dec. 18, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The
amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is
being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain
areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) without compromising information provided to users of financial statements. The
Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
using the fair method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure
about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually
the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Leases
The Company currently follows the guidance in
ASC 840 “ Leases ,” which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements the Company enters into to determine whether they
represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets
and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended
guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements , which clarifies certain aspects of the new
lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the
new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same
effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard On November 15, 2019, the FASB has issued ASU 2019-10, which amends
the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives,
and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and has a calendar-year end companies
the Company eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to December 15, 2021.
ASC 842 will be effective for the Company beginning
on December 15, 2021. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have
an impact on our financial statements.
Canadian Government and Provincial Sales Tax (“G.S.T.”
and “P.S.T.”)
The Company does not collect any Canadian G.S.T.
(Government Sales Tax) and P.S.T. (Provincial Sales Tax) as the Company acts as product distributor and not as a final sales retailer.
10
Inventory
The inventory is comprised of alcoholic beverages
at our new Bari location in Italy which opened in 2019 and inventory for retail sales held in Canada. Our US locations do not have liquor
licenses. The balance of inventory on September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $ 5,866 and $ 4,051 , respectively.
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are
determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842) , which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets
and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended
guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements , which clarifies certain aspects of the new
lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the
new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same
effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB has issued ASU 2019-10, which amends
the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and leases
standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and has a calendar-year end companies the
Company eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to December 15, 2021.
While we continue to evaluate the impact of the
new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As of September 30, 2021 the Company had cash
on hand of $ 13,347 a working capital deficiency of $ 109,555 and an accumulated deficit of $ 12,748,823
Management has concluded that these financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business.
It is the Company’s current intention to
raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. The Company believes it will be successful in raising sufficient
capital to operate for the next 12 months, however, there is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to
the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could
cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any
failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the
possible inability to continue operations.
11
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020
the Company had $ 6,320 and $ 8,480 in property and equipment, all located at its Bari location in Italy. As of March 31, 2021 all property
and equipment and leaseholds at its US locations had been fully depreciated.

as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Series B Stock
The Series B Stock is convertible at any time
by the holder into the number of shares of common stock of the Company based on two times the price paid by the holder paid for the shares.
The Board has the authorization to establish a minimum price for the price the Series B Stock (so that if the market price of the common
stock of the Company drops below the issuance price, the conversion rate will then be based on the minimum price established by the Board
and not the price paid for the shares). The holders of the Series B Stock shall not be entitled to voting rights except as otherwise provided
for in the law. The holders of Series B Stock are not entitled to dividends until and unless determined by the Board.
Liquidation Preference
The holders of Series B Stock shall not be entitled
to any distributions upon a liquidation of the Company.

except as otherwise provided for in the law. The holders of Series C Stock are not entitled to dividends until and unless determined by
the Board.
Liquidation Preference
Upon any liquidation of the Company, the holders

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had three
operating restaurants. The Company leases these spaces based upon the following schedules:
·
Kisses From Italy 9 th
LLC based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida leases approximately 990
square feet and has paid $3,273 per month since 2018, pending completion of the required renovations
to the exterior and interior of the property necessitated due to hurricane damage that occurred to the location in 2018. The landlord
has been very slow in making these changes. It was agreed upon that when work was completed, and approved by the City of Fort Lauderdale,
the rent would be increased to the market rate at that time. Beginning on May 1 , 2021, the rent increased to $5,857.50 per month and
was renewed by the Company for an additional five-year term with standard annual escalator costs.
·
Kisses From Italy-Palm Aire based

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we
desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution
readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and any other statement
made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are
statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic
and competitive uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business

materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking
statements.
Overview
The Company’s main focus is to develop a
fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise
and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three
additional restaurants, which are located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within
the following ten months. All locations, which are in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company
vacated one of its restaurants due to a hurricane and did not re-open. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company consolidated
its two Wyndham stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo,
Bari, Italy, in October 2019. Such location will serve as the distribution center for products for European locations. The Bari location
was closed in the fourth quarter of 2020 and currently remains closed as of the date of this Report due to Covid-19.
In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise
License, which permits us to sell franchises in all of the United States, except New York, Virginia, and Maryland which licenses we hope
to obtain if sufficient demand exists in the future. In September 2017, we completed the purchase of two franchise locations in Florida.
On October 24, 2019, we opened our first restaurant
in Italy, at Strada Provinciale 70 #100, Via Vittorio Veneto 100 Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italia which we intend to also use as a training
facility for franchises in Europe.
Management recently began scouting various locations
in regions of Italy and believes that the regions of Rome and Puglia may offer opportunities for additional corporate-owned and franchise
expansion. However, there are no agreements in place as of the date of this Report to open any new facilities, either Company-owned or
franchises, and no assurances can be provided that we will expand our operations accordingly.
In September 2019, the Company's common stock
was approved for trading by FINRA and in mid-October 2019 was approved for listing by the OTC Markets Group to the OTCQB under the symbol
“KITL”.
The Company opened its inaugural European location
in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019.

Recent Developments
Development Agreement
On June 18, 2020, Kisses From Italy Franchising
LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a multi-unit development agreement (the “Development Agreement”)
pursuant to which it granted development rights to Demasar Management Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Developer”) to open and
operate up to 100 Kisses From Italy Italian restaurants in Canada. Under the Agreement, Developer is obligated to open a minimum of 20
restaurants by June 17, 2025.
In consideration of the development rights, the
Development Agreement provides for a franchise fee of $4,000 Canadian dollars (“CAD”) for each restaurant. Upon execution
of the Development Agreement, the Developer paid $400,000 CAD to the Company, and the Company issued Denis Senecal, a director of the
Developer, 9,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Developer will have a right of first refusal
to obtain development rights to additional restaurants in Canada if it is in compliance with the Development Agreement and has opened
the minimum 20 restaurants. If the Developer receives a bona fide offer from an unaffiliated third party to purchase the Developer’s
rights under the Development Agreement, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC will have the option, exercisable for 30 days to purchase such
business, If Kisses From Italy Franchising LLC does not exercise such option, the Developer may sell its rights to said third party for
a $5,000 transfer fee.
The Agreement contains certain non-competition
and non-solicitation provisions.
The Company and Developer will share profits for
all locations developed and agreed to an allocation of franchise royalties.
Advisory Agreement
On June 17, 2020, the Company entered into a five-year
distribution-financing-lead generation agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with Denis Senecal pursuant to which he will provide
business development, financial advisory and franchise lead generation services to the Company in consideration for the issuance of 9,500,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. Such common stock has “piggyback” registration rights for one year from the date
of issuance for one registration statement. The Advisory Agreement will automatically be renewed for an additional five-year term unless
either party notifies the other within 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial term that it desires not to renew the Agreement.
Fransmart Consulting Agreement
On April 22, 2021, Kisses from Italy-Franchising,
LLC (“Franchisor”) entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Fransmart, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Fransmart”), effective as of April 16, 2021, pursuant to which Fransmart will serve as Franchisor’s
exclusive global franchise developer and representative for a period of ten years.
In consideration for its services, Fransmart is
entitled to certain fees, royalties, and commissions contingent upon Fransmart achieving certain agreed upon milestones. In addition,
Fransmart was granted a stock option to purchase 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable by Fransmart on a
cashless basis.
16
Opening of New Franchise Location
On May 28, 2021 the Company opened its first franchise
in Chino, California. Due to the onset of Covid-19 the Company has waived any franchise fees so that the franchisee could well establish
the operations at that location.
Covid-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a
negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and
many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic
are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may
have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent
of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.
The Company’s two corporate-owned restaurants
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the Wyndham location in Pompano Beach, Florida, have fully re-opened subject to recommended social distancing
guidelines. The Company’s Bari location in Italy remains closed.
Except for our Bari location, our US locations
are now open and are operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels.

in Canada, which the Company began selling in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to food sales of $44,331 during the three months ended
September 30, 2020. The significant increase in food sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2020 is due to the mitigation of some of the impact of Covid-19 on the restaurant industry.
Cost of goods sold during
the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $43,644 compared to $29,164 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase
is attributable to higher sales volumes in the 2021 period.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses were
$157,166 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $940,854 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Non-cash
stock-based compensation was $-0- and $770,000, for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Excluding
the stock-based compensation in both periods, operating expenses were $157,166 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared
to $170,854 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The reduction in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2021 is attributable to a reduction of consulting fees of $12,370, a reduction of depreciation expense of $12,465, and
a reduction of executive compensation of $4,950; offset by an increase in payroll of $13,017 and an increase in general and administrative
expenses of $6,130.

months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $34,943 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in other expenses is
attributable to the recording of approximately $95,100 in the beneficial conversion features of Preferred C Stock.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2021 and 2020
Revenue and Cost of
Sales
Total revenues for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $328,479 compared to $454,998 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

retail locations in Canada, which the Company began selling in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to food sales of $163,413 and
franchise sales of $291,585 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in total revenue in 2021 compared to 2020
is due to $291,585 in franchise sales in the 2020 period compared to zero in 2021, offset to a lesser extent by the increase in food
sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the mitigation of the impact of Covid-19.
Cost of goods sold during
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $155,953 compared to $80,649 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase
is attributable to higher food sales volumes in 2021 and franchise sales in 2020 with no cost of goods sold associated with those sales.

compared to $453,122 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in depreciation
expense of $34,907, a decrease in executive compensation of $17,631, a decrease of $11,334 in payroll, a decrease of rent of $8,226; offset
by an increase in consulting and professional fees of $11,511 and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $22,315.

Other expenses comprising
interest expense was $347,747 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $497,367 during the nine months ended September
30, 2020. The decrease in other expenses is attributable to fewer conversions of equity instruments with beneficial conversion issues
in which interest expense was recognized.
Net Loss
As a result of the forgoing, the net loss attributable
to Kisses from Italy, Inc. for the period ended September 30, 2021 was $3,831,930 for the period ended September 30, 2021 compared to

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2021, we had $13,347 in cash
and cash equivalents.
Net cash used in operating activities was $317,079
during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net cash used of $69,079 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The increase in net cash used in operating activities of $248,000 is primarily attributable to our increase in losses in the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 after subtracting non-cash items in both periods.
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$295,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $142,261 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase
in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to sales of common stock of $175,000 in 2021 compared to zero in
the same period in 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,910
due to the purchase of fixed assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $-0- during the period ended September
30, 2020.
We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000
to fully effectuate our business development plans, including opening additional company-owned restaurants and continuing to develop and
enhance the marketing of our franchise concept. Subject to the continued impact of Covid-19, we currently believe that we can open at
least two additional restaurants for approximately $300,000. We may use some of the cash we received from the Development Agreement to
open additional locations or for franchise marketing. We believe that continuing to open company-owned restaurants will assist us to market
other locations.
There can be no assurances that additional financing,
either through equity or debt, will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all. While we have had discussions with potential
investors and investment bankers, we have no agreement with any third party to provide additional financing. Our inability to obtain additional
financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations.
Covid-19 has also caused significant disruptions
to the global financial markets, which impacts our ability to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital
due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned
operations.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared
assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments for the recoverability and the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements
that may be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows
from operations. Also, if the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be
required to further reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of
our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial
condition and results of operations and that 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. See notes to our financial statements, Note
2 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations
issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position, or cash flows.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide
this information.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures –
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
These controls are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30,
2021.
Inherent Limitations –
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls
and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, 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. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure
that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting –. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
