Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements July 31, 2022 Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as Mascot Properties, Inc.) was organized on July 22, 2009 as a Nevada corporation. The Company has a year-end of January 31. The Company is a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce, beef meat loaf, chicken parmesan and other similar meats and sauces. In addition, the Company continues to diversify its product line by introducing new products such as ready to serve dinners, single-size Pasta Bowls, bulk deli, packaged refrigerated and frozen products. The Company’s products were submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) and approved as all natural. The USDA defines all natural as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States, with large concentrations in the Northeast and Southeast. On December 29, 2021, the Company made two acquisitions which expand the Company’s core product lines, and access to specific markets. T&L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L”) and Olive Branch, LLC (“OB”), are related premier gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. T&L offers a full line of foods for retail food chains and club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and provision distributors. T&L uses high-quality meats, seafood and vegetables, prepared to meet the standards set forth by the USDA and the FDA. Olive Branch started operations six years ago as a separate company to concentrate on selling olives, olive mixes, and savory products to a limited number of large retail customers, primarily in pre-packaged containers. On June 28, 2022, the Company acquired a 24 % minority interest in Chef Inspirational Foods, Inc. (“CIF”), a leading developer, innovator, marketer and sales company selling fresh and frozen prepared foods, for an investment of $ 1.2 million, at an implied enterprise value for CIF of $ 5 million. The investment consists of $ 500,000 in cash and $ 700,000 in the Company’s common stock. The Company also was granted the option to purchase the remaining seventy-six percent ( 76 % ) interest in CIF within one year of June 28, 2022. The option purchase price is an additional $ 3.8 million, of which $ 3.5 million would be paid in cash and $ 300,000 in common stock, which would be paid within a two-year period from June 28, 2022. The acquisition of the interest in CIF is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting for investments. The following presents the unaudited results of operations for the period June 28, 2022 (acquisition date) through July 31, 2021 of CIF. Schedule of Results of Operations For the Period June 28, 2022 through July 31, 2021 Revenues $ 2,705,503 Net income $ 771,983 Note 2 – Business Acquisitions The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “ Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. ASC 805 specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates. On December 23, 2021, the Company announced the signing of definitive agreements for two acquisitions – T&L and OB, which are gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. The closing of these transactions was completed on December 29, 2021. The Company acquired T&L and OB for a combined purchase price of $ 14.0 million, including $ 11.0 million in cash at closing and $ 3.0 million in a promissory note. The promissory note requires annual principal payments of $ 750,000 payable on each anniversary of the closing, together with accrued interest at a rate of three and one-half ( 3.5 % ) per annum. The holder of the Note is T&L Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is guaranteed by the Company. The holder has a right of set-off against the balance due for any matters which are the subject of an indemnification under the transaction agreements. The cash payment was funded through cash on hand and a $ 7.5 million long-term acquisition note from M&T Bank (see below). Anthony Morello, Jr. will remain as CEO of T&L Acquisition Corp. On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Multiple Disbursement Term Loan (“Loan”) with M&T Bank for the original principal amount of $ 7,500,000 payable in monthly instalments over a 60 -month amortization period. The Maturity Date of the Loan is January 17, 2027 . Interest is payable on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan at a variable rate per annum based on the Company’s Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank) established with respect to the Borrower as of the date of any advance under the Loan as follows: if the Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio is: (i) greater than 2.00 but less than or equal to 2.50, 4.12 percentage point(s) above one-day (i.e., overnight) SOFR (as defined); (ii) greater than 1.50 but less than or equal to 2.00, 3.62 percentage points above one-day SOFR; or (iii) 1.50 or less, 3.12 percentage points above one-day SOFR. In all events set forth at subsections (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence, if SOFR shall at any time be less than 0.25%, one-day SOFR shall be deemed to be 0.25% and the foregoing margins shall be applied to the SOFR Index Floor. All of the proceeds of the Loan were utilized to fund the acquisition of T&L and OB. F- 7 For the three months ended July 31, 2022, T&L had revenue and a loss before taxes of approximately $ 10.6 million and $ 368,250 , respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2022, OB had revenue and a loss before taxes of approximately $ 1.6 million and $ 71,900 , respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2022, T&L had revenue and a loss before taxes of approximately $ 20.1 million and $ 33,300 , respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2022, OB had revenue and a loss before taxes of approximately $ 3.2 million and $ 48,200 , respectively. These amounts are included in the condensed statements of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022. The following presents the unaudited pro-forma combined results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 of T&L and OB with the Company as if the entities were combined on February 1, 2021. Schedule of Pro-forma Combined Results of Operation For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended July 31, 2021 Revenues $ 19,926,213 $ 36,036,435 Net income $ 771,983 $ 1,419,782 Net income per share - basic $ 0.02 $ 0.04 Weighted average number of shares outstanding 35,697,568 35,660,440 The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are presented for information purposes only. The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not intended to present actual results that would have been attained had the acquisitions been completed as of February 1, 2021 or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods. ASC 805 defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. ASC 805 also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: Schedule of Asset Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Assets: Cash $ 591,458 Accounts receivable 2,715,515 Inventories 1,221,055 Fixed assets, net 503,907 Intangibles 10,574,334 Total identified assets acquired $ 15,606,269 Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 1,606,269 Total liabilities assumed 1,606,269 Total net assets acquired $ 14,000,000 The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the considerations transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The amounts used in computing the purchase price differ from the amounts in the purchase agreements due to fair value measurement conventions prescribed by accounting standards. F- 8 The intangible assets acquired include the trademarks and customer relationships. The allocation of purchase price is still deemed to be a preliminary allocation because of potential changes in the valuation of intangibles and the acquired fixed assets. The goodwill represents the assembled workforce, acquired capabilities, and future economic benefits resulting from the acquisition. All of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ US GAAP ”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022 filed on May 27, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending January 31, 2023. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, purchase price accounting and the fair value of share-based payments. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure. F- 9 The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis. Cash The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At July 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 1.3 million in cash balances that exceed federally insured limits. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the reserve for uncollectible accounts was de minimis. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. Inventory was comprised of the following at July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022: Schedule of Inventories July 31, 2022 January 31, 2022 Raw Materials $ 1,099,525 $ 1,854,156 Work in Process 163,576 244,974 Finished goods 2,930,625 791,663 Inventories $ 4,193,726 $ 2,890,793 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives. Asset lives for financial statement reporting of depreciation are: Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives Machinery and equipment 2 - 7 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Leasehold improvements - * (*) Amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever period is shorter. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. F- 10 Intangible Assets Software The Company accounts for acquired internal-use software licenses and certain costs within the scope of ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software as intangible assets. The Company capitalized $ 87,639 of costs incurred in the year ended January 31, 2021 to implement cloud computing arrangements. Acquired internal-use software licenses are amortized over the term of the arrangement on a straight-line basis to the line item within the condensed consolidated statements of operations that reflects the nature of the license. In November 2021, the Company finalized the implementation process and began to use the software license. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded amortization of $ 15,986 and $ 31,102 , respectively. Additionally, the Company evaluates its accounting for fees paid in an agreement to determine whether it includes a license to internal-use software. If the agreement includes a software license, the Company accounts for the software license as an intangible asset. Acquired software licenses are recognized and measured at cost, which includes the present value of the license obligation if the license is to be paid for over time. If the agreement does not include a software license, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a service contract (hosting arrangement) and hosting costs are generally expensed as incurred. Goodwill The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of January 31 or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity, or the reporting unit, may be below its carrying amount (a “triggering event”). Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of the relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgements and assumptions. The judgement and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends, an assessment of whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of an such impact. If a quantitative assessment is performed, a reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Management evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. As of July 31, 2022, there were no impairment losses recognized for goodwill. Other Intangibles Other intangibles consist of trademarks, trade names and customer relationships. Intangible asset lives for financial statement reporting of amortization are: Schedule of Other Intangible Assets Impairment Losses Recognized for Goodwill Tradenames and trademarks 3 years Customer relationships 4 - 5 years During the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recognized amortization of $ 101,000 and $ 199,054 related to other intangible assets, respectively. F- 11 Fair Value of Financial Instruments For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. Research and Development Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 41,792 and $ 30,541 , respectively. Research and development expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 68,327 and $ 53,977 , respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The Company’s sales predominantly are generated from the sale of finished products to customers, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, this occurs when the goods are shipped to the customer. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The Company reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Customer trade promotion and consumer incentive activities are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. The Company derives these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. The Company does not receive a distinct service in relation to the advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. Payment terms in the Company’s invoices are based on the billing schedule established in contracts and purchase orders with customers. The Company recognizes the related trade receivable when the goods are shipped. F- 12 Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows: Schedule of Expenses of Slotting Fees, Sales Discounts and Allowances are Accounted as Direct Reduction of Revenues July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 Gross Sales $ 23,631,857 $ 12,459,429 Less: Slotting, Discounts, Allowances 785,383 394,845 Net Sales $ 22,846,474 $ 12,064,584 July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 Gross Sales $ 45,980,449 $ 23,207,595 Less: Slotting, Discounts, Allowances 1,303,395 829,611 Net Sales $ 44,677,054 $ 22,377,984 Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Costs include product development, freight-in, packaging, and print production costs. F- 13 Advertising Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred. Producing and communicating advertising expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 119,332 and $ 118,881 respectively. Producing and communicating advertising expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 306,352 and $ 245,061 respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation” ( “ASC 718” ), which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital. For the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation amounted to $ 12,333 and $ 285 , respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation amounted to $ 12,333 and $ 786 , respectively. F- 14 For the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, when computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables: Schedule of Fair Value of Share-Based Payments July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 Risk-free interest rate 2.77 % N/A Expected life of grants 7.5 years N/A Expected volatility of underlying stock 85.74 % N/A Dividends 0 % N/A The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was estimated using the historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per common share. Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ ( 743,246 ) 431,925 Effect of dilutive securities: — — Diluted net income $ ( 743,246 ) $ 431,925 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 35,811,087 35,697,568 Dilutive securities (a): Series A Preferred - - Options 526,106 Warrants - - Weighted average common shares outstanding and assumed conversion – diluted 35,811,087 36,223,674 Basic net (loss) income per common share $ ( 0.02 ) $ 0.01 Diluted net (loss) income per common share $ ( 0.02 ) $ 0.01 (a) - Anti-dilutive securities excluded: 689,000 - July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended July 31, 2022 July 31, 2021 Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ ( 639,549 ) 1,063,449 Effect of dilutive securities: — — Diluted net income $ ( 639,549 ) $ 1,063,449 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 35,785,719 35,660,440 Dilutive securities (a): Series A Preferred - - Options - 520,914 Warrants - - Weighted average common shares outstanding and assumed conversion – diluted 35,785,719 36,181,353 Basic net (loss) income per common share $ ( 0.02 ) $ 0.03 Diluted net income (loss) per common share $ ( 0.02 ) $ 0.03 (a) - Anti-dilutive securities excluded: 689,000 - Income Taxes Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, “ Accounting for Income Taxes ”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $ 636,581 and $ 448,501 , respectively, which is included in other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company regularly evaluates the need for a valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset. F- 15 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2021, the FASB issued accounting standards update ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted the new standard on February 1, 2022 and the adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification and makes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its financial statements and intends to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2024. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent Events The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were issued are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. F- 16 Note 4 - Property and Equipment : Property and equipment on July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022 are as follows: Schedule of Property and Equipment July 31, 2022 January 31, 2022 Machinery and Equipment $ 5,132,428 $ 4,934,855 Furniture and Fixtures 280,071 233,615 Leasehold Improvements 3,442,396 3,346,610 Property and Equipment, Gross 8,854,895 8,515,080 Less: Accumulated Depreciation 5,237,674 4,836,548 Property and Equipment, Net $ 3,617,221 $ 3,678,532 Depreciation expense charged to income for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $ 192,297 and $ 197,971 , respectively.

Note 7 - Loan and Security Agreement M&T Bank Effective, January 4, 2019, the Company obtained a $ 3.5 million working capital line of credit with M&T Bank at LIBOR plus four points with a two -year expiration. On January 29, 2020, the facility was amended to increase the total available balance to $ 4.0 million as well as extend the maturity date to June 30, 2022 . On June 11, 2021, the line was amended to increase the available borrowings to $ 4.5 million and extended the maturity date to June 30, 2023 . As part of the extension the Company incurred financing fees of $ 5,000 . These fees are recorded as deferred financing fees and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet. These fees are amortized over the remaining life of the line of credit. As of July, 2022 and January 31, 2022, there were unamortized fees of $ 2,917 and $ 3,542 , respectively. The facility is supported by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s business assets and is further subject to various affirmative and negative financial covenants and a limited Guaranty by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Carl Wolf. The covenants were waived by the bank as of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022. Advances under the line of credit are limited to eighty percent (80%) of eligible accounts receivable (which is subject to an agreed limitation and is further subject to certain asset concentration provisions) and fifty percent (50%) of eligible inventory (which is subject to an agreed dollar limitation). All advances under the line of credit are due upon maturity. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $ 2,490,000 and $ 765,000 as of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred interest of $ 32,943 and $ 0 to M&T Bank for the line of credit agreement, respectively. During the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred interest of $ 49,053 and $ 0 to M&T Bank for the line of credit agreement, respectively. F- 18 As discussed above in Note 2, on December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a loan with M&T Bank for the original principal amount of $ 7,500,000 payable in monthly installments over a 60 -month amortization period (the “Acquisition Note”). The Maturity Date of the Acquisition Note is January 17, 2027 . Interest is payable on the unpaid Principal Amount of the Acquisition Note at a variable rate per annum based on the Company’s Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank) established with respect to the Borrower as of the date of any advance under the Acquisition Note as follows: if the Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio is: (i) greater than 2.00 but less than or equal to 2.50, 4.12 percentage point(s) above one-day (i.e., overnight) SOFR (as defined); (ii) greater than 1.50 but less than or equal to 2.00, 3.62 percentage points above one-day SOFR; or (iii) 1.50 or less, 3.12 percentage points above one-day SOFR. In all events set forth at subsections (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence, if SOFR shall at any time be less than 0.25%, one-day SOFR shall be deemed to be 0.25% and the foregoing margins shall be applied to the SOFR Index Floor. The Company recorded a debt discount of $ 58,750 in relation to the debt. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 3,015 and $ 6,030 in accretion of the debt discount, respectively.

Note 11 – Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ending July 31, 2022 is 21.53 % and 21.44 %, respectively. Differences with statutory rate primarily relate to state taxes. Deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and other assets. Deferred taxes are caused primarily by net operating loss carryforwards. U.S. Tax Legislation enacted in 2017 (the “TCJA”) has significantly changed certain aspects of U.S. federal income taxation. Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) generated in 2017 and prior years can be carried forward for 20 years. NOLs generated in 2018 – 2020, as enacted by the CARES Act, can be carried forward indefinitely. However, NOLs generated in 2021 are also carried forward indefinitely but limited to 80% of taxable income. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation for taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. There was no valuation allowance as of July 31, 2022 or January 31, 2022. The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its 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. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740. The actual yearly tax rate will vary due to numerous factors, such as level and geographic mix of income and losses, acquisitions, investments, intercompany transactions, our stock price, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, changes in the laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations related to tax, including changes to the global tax framework and other laws and accounting rules in various jurisdictions Note 12 – Subsequent Events Series B Preferred The Company has designated 200,000 shares of preferred stock, $ 0.00001 par value per share, for each of the Series B Preferred.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of eight percent ( 8 % ).
