SOW GOOD INC.
Notes to Condensed
Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name
from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”). Our
common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”. At that time, o ur
common stock started to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”, from the former trading symbol “ANFC”.
Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company name was Ante5, Inc., which became an independent company in April 2010. We became a publicly traded
company when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had been engaged in the business
of acquiring oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks trends in North Dakota and Montana
and/or managing similar assets for third parties.
On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an
equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $ 5,051,675 and issuing 1,439,400 shares. The
proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
On October
10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed
an IPO raising $ 138,000,000 of gross proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on
October 18, 2017). In addition, the Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $ 10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total
contribution of $ 4,450,000 in order to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC, a blank check company formed for the purpose
of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business
combination with one or more businesses or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to
a particular industry or geographic region. Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22 % of the outstanding common stock of BRAC
and managed BRAC’s operations via a management services agreement. On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination
agreement, which subsequently closed on August 9, 2019.
On October 1, 2020, the
Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $ 2.2 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s
freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered into certain employment and registration rights agreements.
On May 5, 2021, we announced the launch of our
direct-to-consumer freeze-dried consumer packaged good (CPG) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launches with its first line of non-GMO products
including 6 ready-to-make smoothies and 9 snacks. The smoothie lineup offers a mix of both new and familiar flavors: Açaí
of Relief (açaí, blueberry); Mint to Be (banana, coconut, mint); and Berry Apeeling (banana, strawberry). Sow Good packaged
snack lineup includes single-ingredient fruits and vegetables such as Mon Cherry (cherries); Cool Beans (edamame); and What’s Apple’n
(apples). Smoothies are $7.50 each and packaged snacks are $5.25 per bag.
On July 23, 2021, we launched six new gluten-free
granola products under the Sow Good brand. Sow Good’s granola products are made with health-conscious ingredients such as freeze-dried
fruit, almonds, hemp hearts, and coconut oil. Granola products are initially being sold direct-to-consumer and will later be targeted
to the business-to-business segment. Our unique food products are targeting the large, and growing, freeze-dried food products market.
The global freeze-dried food products market is estimated by Technavio to total nearly $60B in 2020, with the United States representing
almost 30% of the total. Technavio further projects market growth to continue at over 8% per year through 2024. With the extensive freeze-dried
manufacturing and food product-focused business development experience of our senior management team, we believe we are well positioned
to lead the Company's growth and development in the freeze-dried food industry.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant
Accounting Policies
The interim condensed financial statements included
herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to not
make the information presented misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, which
in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed,
all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain
assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under FASB ASC 820-10-05,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying
amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair
value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring
basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company
had $ 2,968,617 of cash in excess of FIDC and SIPC insured limits at June 30, 2021, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower
of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method
based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
Schedule of estimated useful lives of assets
Software
3 years, or over the life of the agreement
Office equipment
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Machinery and equipment
7-10 years
Intangible assets
10 years
Leasehold improvements
Fully extended lease-term
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged
to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated
over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation expense was $ 65,052 and $ 650 for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
6
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company
are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings
before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds
to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows
of future operations.
Our intellectual property
is comprised of indefinite-lived brand names acquired and have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these
brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by
taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of raw materials, material
overhead, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and consists
of the following:
Schedule of inventory
June 30,
December 31,
2021
2020
Finished goods

Packaging materials
46,832
–
Total Inventory
$ 858,774
$ 141,371
No reserve for obsolete inventories has been recognized,
and we have not yet commenced significant production.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis
in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are
not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse
action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The
impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the
fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which
utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an
impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC” 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue
from the sale of its freeze-dried food products once operations commence, in accordance with a five-step
model in which the Company will evaluate the transfer of promised goods or services and recognize revenue when customers obtain control
of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of
ASC 606, the Company will perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance
obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has elected, as
a practical expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as a separate performance obligation.
Revenue will be reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions
will be dependent on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company will record reductions to revenue for estimated product returns
and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates will be based on industry-based historical
data, historical sales returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.
7
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”)
are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator).
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding
(if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The number of potential
common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method.
The reconciliation of the denominators used to
calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, and
the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation
of diluted net loss per common share. Stock options and warrants excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect was
anti-dilutive were 765,144 and 378,871 as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued
to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant
to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists
of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued
is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance
by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. Stock-based
compensation was $ 709,215 and $ 70,943 , consisting entirely of expenses related to common stock and options issued for services for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 6 to 6.5
years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants and the discount rate on 5 to 7 year
U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date. In addition, $ 377,440 of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration
of personal guarantees provided for debt financing for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and
laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
On December 22, 2017 the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutory rate was lowered from 35% to
21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the
period of enactment; therefore, the Company was required to value its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new rate. The SEC issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not
have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting
for certain effects of Tax Reform. The ultimate impact may differ from the provisional amount, possibly materially, as a result of additional
analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions
the Company may take as a result of Tax Reform.
8
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”
(“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that
the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.
These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities can periodically audit
the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the
timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with
these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of
years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has
not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position
relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new
accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are adopted by the Company as
of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and
Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) : Accounting for Convertible Instruments
and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing
the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to
calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if converted method. The new guidance
is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021,
with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements or related disclosures.
In May
2020 , the SEC adopted final rules that amend the financial statement requirements for significant business acquisitions and
dispositions. Among other changes, the final rules modify the significance tests and improve the disclosure requirements for acquired
or to be acquired businesses and related pro forma financial information, the periods those financial statements must cover, and the form
and content of the pro forma financial information. The final rules do not modify requirements for the acquisition and
disposition of significant amounts of assets that do not constitute a business. The final rules were effective January 1,
2021. The Company has considered these final rules and updated its disclosures, as applicable.
In November
2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 – Income Taxes (“Topic 740” ): Simplifying the
Accounting for Income Taxes . The amendments in ASU 2019 - 12 are part of an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting
standards and simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions from Topic 740 and making minor improvements
to the codification. ASU 2019 - 12 and its related amendments are effective for public entities for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 . The provisions of this update did not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued
or effective during the period ended June 30, 2021, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial
statements, as of June 30, 2021, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of
$ 39,044,009 ,
and had cash on hand of $ 3,754,381 . We
are too early in our development stage to project revenue with a necessary level of certainty; therefore, we may not have sufficient
funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has commenced sales
and continues to develop its operations, and the Company raised an additional $ 564,661
from sale of common stock in July, as noted in our subsequent events footnote.
In the event sales do not materialize at the expected
rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance
that we will be successful in achieving these objectives.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts
and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to
scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising
additional capital.
Note 4 – Business Combination, S-FDF
On October
1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC (the "Seller"), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to
an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and the Seller, dated June 9, 2020, as subsequently amended effective October 1,
2020. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $ 2.2 million in cash and
certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered
into certain employment and registration rights agreements. The Company did not assume any liabilities of Seller or any liabilities, liens,
or encumbrances pertaining to or encumbering the Purchased Assets, except for those related to agreements or arrangements specified in
the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Seller transferred the Purchased Assets to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 1,120,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock to the Seller. The number of Seller Shares to be issued was subject to adjustment, as specified in
the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, based on the extent to which the amount of cash proceeds held by the Company, as derived from
the sale of the Company’s holdings of Allied Esports Entertainment Inc. ("AESE") Shares, were less than $5 million
or greater than $6 million on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which resulted in the issuance of an additional
500,973 Seller Shares that were issued on January 4, 2021. The combined issuances represented approximately 46 % of the Company’s
issued and outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. was determined to be the acquiror of the
business combination.
Pursuant
to its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company, (a) created three new seats on the Company’s
Board of Directors and appointed the Seller’s principals, Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, and a third person designated by the
Goldfarbs, Greg Creed, as directors, (b) entered into employment agreements with Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, (c) delivered a registration
rights agreement with respect to the Seller Shares and any shares of common stock delivered as part of the employment compensation for
Ira Goldfarb or Claudia Goldfarb, and (d) amended the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common
stock reserved thereunder. At closing, the Company also assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its facility
in Irving, Texas under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord.
10
This acquisition was
accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase resulted in the recognition of $ 6,411,327
of goodwill, which is evaluated annually for impairment, unless circumstances change that require an earlier determination. According
to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain
assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under FASB ASC 820-10-5,
fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy
in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets
and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at
fair value.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents and
a revolving credit facility that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities
are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
13
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.),
and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated
inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that
reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation
of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

extend, at a monthly lease term of $ 10,036 , with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021,
subject to the ASU 2016-02. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects to enter
into a new lease upon expiration. The operating and office facility lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities,
insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit
discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining
the present value of lease payments.

Note 12 – Changes in Stockholders’
Equity
Reverse Stock Split
On February 21, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-300 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares were issued. Instead, the Company issued the following
to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split:

Stockholders owning 300 or more shares of Common Stock received (1) one share of Common Stock for every 300 shares owned and (2) cash in lieu of fractional shares upon the surrender of such stockholder’s shares;
·
Stockholders owning between 25 and 300 shares of Common Stock had their ownership of shares of Common Stock rounded up to one share; and
·
Stockholders owning fewer than 25 shares of Common Stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares upon the surrender of such stockholders’ shares and no longer own shares of Common Stock.
Any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares
were based on the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTCQB operated by
OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCQB”) during regular trading hours for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the Effective Date, which was $0.018 per share prior to the effects of the reverse stock split.

shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split, which remains unaffected. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on

Note 15 – Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
Topic 740, Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed
to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated
for income tax purposes.
Losses incurred during the period from April
9, 2011 (inception) to June 30, 2021 could be used to offset future tax liabilities. Accounting standards require the consideration of
a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits
of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2021, net deferred tax assets were $ 5,981,775 , with no deferred tax liability,
primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of approximately $ 5,981,775 was applied to the net deferred
tax assets. Therefore, the Company has no tax expense for 2021 to date.
In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has
evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on, or before June 30, 2021.
Note 16 – Commitments
The Company is involved in various inquiries,
administrative proceedings and litigation relating to matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently a
defendant in any material litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation that could have a material effect on the Company. Management
is not able to estimate the minimum loss to be incurred, if any, as a result of the final outcome of the matters arising in the normal
course of business but believes they are not likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position or results
of operations and, accordingly, no provision for loss has been recorded.
The Company periodically maintains cash balances
at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The extent of loss, if any, to be sustained as a result of any future failure of a bank
or other financial institution is not subject to estimation at this time.
Upon closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas, under
which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord. The lease term is through September 15, 2025, with two five-year options
to extend, at a monthly lease term of $ 10,036 , with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
