FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and financial
performance based on certain assumptions. They include opinions, forecasts, intentions, plans, goals, projections, guidance, expectations,
beliefs or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Words such as “will,” “may,” “should,”
“could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential,”
“continue,” or “projects,” or the negative or other variation of such words, and similar expressions may identify
a statement as a forward-looking statement. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated
growth and trends in our businesses, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances,
including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and the development of our products, are forward-looking
statements.
Although
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can
only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation,
those specifically addressed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public can
read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.
You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition,
the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding
issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.
We
undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise
after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made
throughout the entirety of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that
may affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

For
the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited)
Note
1 - Organization and Business Operations
SRM
Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM Inc”) is a Nevada corporation and was incorporated on April 22, 2022 . SRM. Entertainment Limited
(“SRM Ltd”), is a limited company incorporated in the Hong Kong, now a Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China, on January 23, 1981 and formerly owned by Jupiter Wellness, Inc.. Effective August 14, 2023, SRM Inc acquired SRM
Ltd. The acquisition of SRM Ltd by SRM Inc has been accounted for as a Reverse Acquisition (see Basis of Presentation below). The combined
SRM Inc and SRM Ltd are collectively referred to as the Company or SRM.
On
December 9, 2022, we entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (“Jupiter”)
to govern the separation of our business from Jupiter. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Share
Exchange”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of our business from Jupiter. The separation
as set forth in the Share Exchange with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, on May 31, 2023, we issued 6,500,000
shares of our Common Stock (representing 79.3 % of our outstanding shares of Common Stock) to Jupiter in exchange for 2 ordinary shares
of SRM Ltd (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Ltd).
The
Company’s principal business is the design, manufacture, and sale of toys to premier theme parks.
Note
2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The acquisition
of SRM Ltd and SRM Inc occurred on August 14, 2023. The financial statements are prepared using Reverse Acquisition Accounting and as
such, for legal purposes SRM Inc was the acquiring company and for GAAP accounting, SRM Ltd was the acquiring company. Therefore, the
financial statements are presented using the historical financial statements of SRM Ltd. The combined SRM Inc and SRM Ltd are collectively
referred to as the Company.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth
companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
F- 6
Table of Contents
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes
of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Accounts
Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts
receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which
is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. For the three
months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize any allowance for doubtful collections
Inventory
Inventories
will be stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company will periodically review the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs
or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Fixed
Assets and Other Assets
Fixed
assets are stated at cost at the date of purchase. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated
useful lives of the assets or the lease term.
The
Company purchases molds for the manufacture of some of its products and are included in fixed assets at cost. Certain agreements call
for the manufacturer to reimburse the Company for the cost of the molds upon first shipment of products produced using the molds. The
costs of these molds are removed from fixed assets upon reimbursement. Molds that are not subject to reimbursement are depreciated when
the products are in production.

Net
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Net
income (loss) per share of Common Stock is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all Common Stock instruments
such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per
share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact
of the potential shares of Common Stock would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to
their short-term nature.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will generate its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user (the “customer”).
The
Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods
or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to
be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
●
identify the contract with a customer;
●
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
●
determine the transaction price;
●
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
in the contract; and
●
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is
satisfied.
The
Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes
when shipped. Our products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return,
refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.

Foreign
Currency Translation
Assets
and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts
are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation”
(“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements
based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required
to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured
on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the
option grant.
The
Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment
Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based
payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for
share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain
tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and
deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial
position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component
of income tax expense.
Related
parties
The
Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure
of related party transactions.
Pursuant
to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities
would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15,
to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing
trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company;
f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies
of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and
g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership
interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

8 - Capital Structure
Reverse
Merger - On December 9, 2022, The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (“Jupiter”) to govern the separation of our business from Jupiter. On May 26, 2023, we amended and
restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to include additional information regarding
the distribution and the separation of our business from Jupiter. The separation as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement
with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, on May 31, 2023, we issued to Jupiter 6,500,000
shares of our Common Stock (representing 79.3 % of our outstanding shares of Common Stock) in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd
(representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Ltd) (the “Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the Share
Exchange, we acquired from Jupiter by operation of law all assets and assumed all liabilities comprising our business, which were owned
and held by SRM Ltd. Jupiter distributed 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Jupiter’s stockholders and certain
warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) and this occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement
but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, Jupiter Wellness owns 4.5 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common
stock outstanding and SRM Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The merger of SRM Ltd and SRM
Inc occurred on August 14, 2023. The financial statements are prepared using Reverse Acquisition Accounting and as such, for legal purposes
SRM Inc was the acquiring company and for GAAP accounting, SRM Ltd was the acquiring company. Therefore, the financial statements are
presented using the historical financial statements of SRM Ltd including the 6,500,000 shares of common stock issued to Jupiter.
Initial
Public Offering - On August 14, 2023, the Company consummated its IPO, pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common
stock at a price of $ 5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 6.25 million. Net proceeds to the Company,
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company, were approximately $ 5.3 million. All
shares sold in our IPO were registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-272250), as amended (the “Registration
Statement”), declared effective by the SEC on August 14, 2023. EF Hutton acted as lead book-running manager for the offering and
Dominari Securities LLC acted as co-manager for the offering. The underwriters did not exercise their option to purchase up to an additional
187,500 shares of common stock. The Company paid the underwriters an underwriting discount of eight percent ( 8 %) of the amount raised
in the offering. Additionally, as partial consideration for services rendered in connection with the offering, the Company issued EF
Hutton warrants to purchase an aggregate of 57,500 shares of Company common stock, representing 4.0 % of the aggregate shares sold in
the offering. The warrants are exercisable at $ 6.00 per share, which represents 120 % of the initial public offering price per share in
the IPO, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing on February 10, 2024, 180 days from the effective date of
the Registration Statement, and expiring on August 14, 2028.

Business
The
Company is a trusted toy and souvenir designer and developer, selling into the world’s largest theme parks and entertainment venues.
Our
business is built on the principle that almost everyone is a fan of something and the evolution of pop culture is leading to increasing
opportunities for fan loyalty. We create whimsical, fun and unique products that enable fans to express their affinity for their favorite
“something”—whether it is a movie, TV show, favorite celebrity, or favorite restaurant. We infuse our distinct designs
and aesthetic sensibility into a wide variety of product categories, including figures, plush, accessories, apparel, and homewares. With
our unique style, expertise in pop culture, broad product distribution and highly accessible price points, we have developed a passionate
following for our products that has underpinned our growth. We believe we sit at the nexus of pop culture—content providers value
us for our broad network of retail customers, retailers value us for our portfolio of pop culture products and pop culture insights,
and consumers value us for our distinct, stylized products and the content they represent.
Pop
culture pervades modern life and almost everyone is a fan of something. Today, more quality content is available and technology innovation
has made content accessible anytime, anywhere. As a result, the breadth and depth of pop culture fandom resembles, and in many cases
exceeds, the type of fandom previously associated only with sports. Everyday interactions at home, work or with friends are increasingly
influenced by pop culture.
We
have invested strategically in our relationships with key constituents in pop culture. Content providers value us for our broad network
of retail customers and retailers value us for our pop culture products, pop culture insights and ability to drive consumer traffic.
Consumers, who value us for our distinct, stylized products, remain at the center of everything we do.
Content
Providers : We have licensing relationships with many established content providers, and our products appear in venues
such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Cedar Fair, Herschend Family Entertainment and Merlin Entertainment.
We currently have licenses with Smurfs, The ICEE Company and Zoonicorn LLC, from which we can create multiple products based on each
character within. Content providers trust us to design, create and manufacture unique, stylized extensions of their intellectual property
that extend the relevance of their content with consumers through ongoing engagement, helping to maximize the lifetime value of their
content.
Consumers :
Fans are increasingly looking for ways to express their affinity for and engage with their favorite pop culture content. Over time, many
of our consumers evolve from occasional buyers to more frequent purchasers, whom we categorize as enthusiasts or collectors. We create
innovative products to appeal to a broad array of fans across consumer demographic groups—men, women, boys and girls—not
a single, narrow demographic. We currently offer an array of products that sell across several categories. Our products are generally
priced between $2.50 and $50.00, which allows our diverse consumer base to express their fandom frequently and impulsively. We continue
to introduce innovative products designed to facilitate fan engagement at different price points and styles.
We
have developed a nimble and low-fixed cost production model. The strength of our management team and relationships with content providers,
retailers and third-party manufacturers allows us to move from product concept to a new product tactfully. As a result, we can dynamically
manage our business to balance current content releases and pop culture trends with timeless content based on classic movies, such as
Harry Potter or Star Wars. This has allowed us to deliver significant growth while lessening our dependence on individual content releases.

Developments
On
December 8, 2022, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (“Jupiter”) to govern the separation
of the Company’s business from Jupiter. On May 26, 2023, the parties entered into the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement to
include additional information regarding the distribution and separation of our business from Jupiter under the terms of which, Jupiter
acquired 6,500,000 shares of common stock on May 31, 2023, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Limited,
an entity formed in Hong Kong in 1981 and acquired by Jupiter in 2020. The 6.5 million newly-issued shares of the common stock represented
approximately 79.3% of the outstanding shares post-issuance. Jupiter distributed 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
to Jupiter’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (the “Distribution”).The Distribution occurred on the effective
date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following the Distribution, Jupiter owned 4.5 million of the
9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant
to the IPO, the Company sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company
of approximately $6.25 million. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses
paid by the Company, were approximately $5.3 million. All shares sold in our IPO were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement,
declared effective by the SEC on August 14, 2023. EF Hutton acted as lead book-running manager for the offering and Dominari Securities
LLC acted as co-manager for the offering. The underwriters did not exercise their option to purchase up to an additional 187,500 shares
of common stock. The Company paid the underwriters an underwriting discount of eight percent (8%) of the amount raised in the offering.
Additionally, as partial consideration for services rendered in connection with the offering, the Company issued EF Hutton warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 57,500 shares of common stock, representing 4.0% of the aggregate shares sold in the offering. The warrants
are exercisable at $6.00 per share, which represents 120% of the initial public offering price per share in the IPO, at any time and
from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing on February 10, 2024, 180 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement,
and expiring on August 14, 2028. The Company has applied the net proceeds from the IPO for the development of licensed goods, expansion
of SRM products, increased deposits, accounts receivable and inventory, marketing, advertising, and trade shows, general administrative
expenses, repayment of a promissory note payable to Jupiter Wellness, and general corporate purposes.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The acquisition
of SRM Ltd and SRM Inc occurred on August 14, 2023. The financial statements are prepared using Reverse Acquisition Accounting and as
such, for legal purposes SRM Inc was the acquiring company and for GAAP accounting, SRM Ltd was the acquiring company. Therefore, the
financial statements are presented using the historical financial statements of SRM Ltd.. The combined SRM Inc and SRM Ltd are collectively
referred to as the Company.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth
companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Significant
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have
been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are
based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these
policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes
of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Net
Loss per Common Share
Net
income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such
as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.
As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential
common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).
The
Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods
or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to
be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
●
identify the contract with
a customer;
●
identify the performance
obligations in the contract;
●
determine the transaction
price;
●
allocate the transaction
price to performance obligations in the contract; and
●
recognize revenue as the
performance obligation is satisfied.
The
Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on an FOB shipping point basis as title passes
when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return,
refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs
or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and
for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018
tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained
on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Our policy for recording
interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The
Company’s deferred tax asset at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of net operating loss carry forwards calculated
using effective tax rates (20.6% average of China and US rates) equating to approximately $847,803 and $497,655 respectively, less a
valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $847,803 and $497,655, respectively. Because of the Company’s lack of
earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
years ended December 31, 2023.

Revenues
and Cost of Sales
The
Company had sales of $1,006,357 and $1,086,888 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Our gross margins decreased by 5.4%
which primarily was attributable to increased manufacturing costs without a corresponding increase in product pricing.
Operating
Expenses and Other Income (Expense)
Operating
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1,878,553 and $251,584, respectively. The increase was due to new expenses
primarily related to increased cost of being public which increased Board of Director fees, accounting and auditing fees, legal and professional
fees totaling $443,274, stock based compensation of $536,000 to consultants and investor relations and the fair value of options granted
to officers, directors and employees of the Company totaling $486,455.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As

4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company’s management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure
based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company’s desired disclosure control
objectives. In designing periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company’s certifying officers have
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of assurance.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified
in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the three and nine months ended March
31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management
has confidence in its internal controls and procedures. The Company’s management believes that a control system, no matter how
well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal
control system are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation
in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud,
if any, within the Company have been detected.

August 14, 2023, pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement’) with Jupiter Wellness, Inc. as amended
and restated on May 26, 2023 under the terms of which Jupiter Wellness acquired 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Entertainment, Limited. The closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement occurred immediately prior to the effective time of the Company’s Form S-1 Registration
Statement for the IPO and the distribution of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Jupiter Wellness’s stockholders
and certain warrant holders were paid on the effective date of the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement for the IPO but prior
to the closing of the IPO.
On
August 14, 2023, the Company consummated its IPO, pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00
per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.25 million. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company, were $5,326,064. EF Hutton acted as lead book-running manager for
the offering and Dominari Securities LLC acted as co-manager for the offering. The underwriters did not exercise their option to purchase
up to an additional 187,500 shares of common stock.
All
shares sold in our IPO were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, declared effective by the SEC on August 14, 2023. The
offering terminated after the sale of all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.
