REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of SOW GOOD INC.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of SOW GOOD INC. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity,
and cash flows for the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has
suffered net losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F- 1
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is
a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the
audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on
the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements,
the Company issues stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation.
Auditing management’s calculation of the
fair value of stock-based compensation can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on various
inputs to the calculation.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the fair value
determined by management, we examined and evaluated the inputs management used in calculating the fair value of the stock-based compensation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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”) to pursue
the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business as acquired with our October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC. 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 February 5, 2021,
the Company raised over $ 2.5 million of capital from the sale of 631,250 newly issued shares at a share price of $ 4.00 in a private placement.
The proceeds were used to find capital expenditures and working capital investment.
On May 5, 2021, the Company
announced the launch of our direct-to-consumer freeze-dried consumer packaged goods (CPG) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launched with
its first line of non-GMO products including 6 ready-to-make smoothies and 9 snacks.
On July 7, 2021, the
Company raised over $ 3 million of capital from the sale of 714,701 newly issued shares at a share price of $ 4.25 in a private placement.
Investors in the private placement included Sow Good’s Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman, and Chief Financial Officer,
in addition to other Sow Good board members and a small group of accredited investors. The proceeds are being used to invest in inventory
ahead of pursuing larger business-to-business relationships, as well as funding incremental capital expenditures and general operating
expenses.
F- 7
SOW GOOD INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
On December 31, 2021,
we sold an aggregate $ 2,075,000 of promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate 311,250 shares of common stock to related parties,
representing 15,000 warrant shares per $ 100,000 of promissory notes. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $ 2.21 per share over a
ten-year term. The proceeds will be used for working capital investment and to ramp up our freeze-dried consumer packaged goods business.
Note 2 – Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). All references to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) are in accordance with The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Reclassifications
In the prior year, intangible assets were presented
within property and equipment. This asset has been separately stated in the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. In
addition, stock-based compensation was separately stated in our operating expenses in the prior year. These costs have been combined with
salaries and benefits to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results
of operations or retained earnings.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires annual and interim
reporting for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major
customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements
as it expands its operations.
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.
Environmental Liabilities
The Company was formerly a direct owner of assets
in the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs. At this
time, management knows of no substantial losses from environmental accidents or events which would have a material effect on the Company.
F- 8
SOW GOOD INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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
receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory, 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include money market accounts
which have maturities of three months or less. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest,
which approximates market value. There were no cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured 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 approximately $ 2,813,000 and $ 1,311,000 in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The
Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated
collectible amounts. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers
and their current financial condition. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts for either of the periods presented, as all
accounts receivable had been subsequently collected.
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
Website
3 years
Office equipment
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Machinery and equipment
7-10 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 $ 208,448 and $ 3,642
for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

SOW GOOD INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 average cost or net realizable value and consist of the following:

No reserve for obsolete inventories has been recognized.
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 an impairment loss of $ 1,524,030 for the year ended December 31,
2021.

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, in accordance with a five-step model in which the
Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes 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
performs 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 is
reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent
on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments
in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates are based on industry-based historical data, historical sales
returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net
loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an
anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
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 $ 1,377,379
and $ 726,656 for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock-based compensation consisted of $ 834,047
and $ 268,608 related to
the issuance of shares of common stock for services for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization of
the fair values of stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $ 543,332
and $ 458,048 for
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The fair values of stock options were determined 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 and are being
amortized over the related implied service term, or vesting period. In addition, $ 377,440
of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing,
using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods
and the stated term of the warrant grants and the discount rate on 5 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date were
recognized as interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 108”) 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.
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.

SOW GOOD INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $ 3,345,928 and working capital of $ 4,488,207 . 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. 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 Company continues to pursue sources of additional
capital through debt and financing transactions or arrangements, including equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in
identifying suitable funding transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other
means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our business. 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.
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. These 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.

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.
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. The
Company recognized an impairment loss of $ 1,524,030
during the year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with this annual evaluation. According to the purchase method of accounting,
the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Lease Agreement
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

to extend, at a monthly lease term of $ 10,036 , with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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.
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.

·
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.

As of December 31, 2021, the
Company has a net operating loss carryover of approximately $ 36,000,000 .
Under existing Federal law, a portion of the net operating loss may be utilized to offset taxable income through the year ended December
31,2037 . A portion of the net operating loss carryover begins to expire in 2030. For tax years beginning after December 31,
2017, pursuant to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) net operating losses now carry forward
indefinitely but are limited to offsetting 80% of taxable income in a tax year. Of the total net operating loss as of December 31,
2021, approximately $ 5,600,000
of the Company’s NOL is subject to the TCJA net operating loss provisions.
ASC Topic 740 provides that a valuation allowance
is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset
will not be realized. In 2021, the Company increased its valuation allowance from $5,489,828 to $6,905,572 to adjust for the increase in net
deferred tax assets primarily due to an increase in the net operating loss
carryovers. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of these remaining assets will not be realized.
The Company filed annual US Federal income tax returns and annual income
tax returns for the state of Minnesota through 2020. Going forward, it will file annual state income tax returns for the state of Texas.
We are not subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016 for all returns. Income taxing authorities have
conducted no formal examinations of our past federal or state income tax returns and supporting records.
The Company adopted the provisions
of ASC Topic 740 regarding uncertainty in income taxes. The Company has found no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on
or before December 31, 2021.

Note 18 – Commitments
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject from time to time to
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.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits
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.
