Our Market Opportunity
The beer market in the United States grew to 109 billion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2021 after declining in 2019 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The market will not surpass pre-pandemic levels until 2023 and is expected to be valued at 146 billion dollars by 2025. This statistic shows the trend in retail dollar value of craft beer sales in the United States from 2011 to 2021, where retail sales of craft beer increased in 2021 after 2020 saw a large reduction in sales due to the corona-virus pandemic. Dollar sales of craft beer amounted to 26.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2021 and the production volume of craft beer in the United States from 2010 to 2021, by type of brewery. In 2021, regional craft breweries produced approximately 16 million barrels of craft beer, allowing sales volume of craft beer in the United States to grow by 7.9 percent in 2021. Craft beer production increased from 9.1 million barrels in 2009 to 24.8 million in 2021, and the craft beer volume share of beer production in the United States from 2013 to 2021. In 2021, the craft brewer volume share of total beer production in the United States amounted to 13.1 percent.
4
California had the largest output for the craft beer industry in 2021, offering $10.7 billion in total impact. Pennsylvania finished in second during the year, with a $6.1 billion impact. They were followed by Texas ($5.9 billion), New York ($5.4 billion), and Florida ($4.2 billion). The overall beer market in the United States has a value of $103.5 billion. Although the craft beer segment has a 12.3% share of the total beer volume in the country, it represents 23.6% of the total dollar sales that were achieved in 2021. |
Adults in the United States consume an average of 19.8 gallons of beer each year, according to the National Beer Wholesalers Association. About 36% of registered breweries in the United States are listed as a brewpub. That means the products they create for consumers are meant for direct sales that occur on their premises. The average brewery with this classification will produce about 1,000 barrels of beer each year. 95% of the breweries which are operating in the United States today produced less than 15,000 barrels of beer each year. That classifies the operation as a microbrewery if 75% or more of the beer the company produces is sold off-site. About 40% of the sales that occur each year for the craft beer industry happen during the months of June, July, or August. Almost 90% of adults over the age of 21 in the United States live within 10 miles of at least one brewery. Most of these operations qualify as a craft beer producer. There are more than 950 different craft breweries operating in California right now, making it the largest source of products for the industry today.
BrewBilt Brewing Market Statistics:
The company has developed over 200 customers since delivering its first craft beers in July of 2022. The customer retention rate is over 80%, with an average of 25 new customers per month.
5
The company has 50% sales in retail customers and 50% sales in draft customers. The retail customers include Albertson/Safeway Grocery Stores, Grocery Outlet, and IGA owned/Operated grocery stores.
Albertson owns 2,253 stores as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and 270,000 employees as of fiscal year 2019. The company is the second-largest supermarket chain in North America after Kroger. Albertsons ranked 53rd in the 2018 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.
Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. is an American discount closeout retailer consisting exclusively of supermarket locations that offer deeply discounted, overstocked, and closeout products from name brand and private label suppliers. The company has stores in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. There are 448 Grocery Outlet retail stores in the United States as of March 27, 2023. The state with the greatest number of Grocery Outlet locations in the US is California, with 259 retail stores, which is about 58% of all Grocery Outlet retail stores in the US.
IGA, Inc., is an American chain of grocery stores that operates in more than 41 countries. Unlike the chain store business model, IGA operates as a franchise through stores that are owned separately from the brand. Many of these stores operate in small-town markets and belong to families that manage them.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
BrewBilt Brewing operates out of a 6,457 square foot commercial facility located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr, Grass Valley, CA 95945.
On August 26, 2022, the company entered into a commercial lease with 4-Corners LLC to establish a Tap Room as part of its brewery revenue. The space is located at 300 Spring St, Nevada City, NV 95959, and the lease has a term of five years, from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2027.
The Company currently does not own any real property.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company was served a complaint in the County of Nevada, State of California (Case No. CU0000567). BrewBilt Brewing Co. is listed as a named defendant in this matter. The complaint involves the termination of employee Branford Samuels who was employed as a fabricator for BrewBilt Manufacturing Inc. and, it is not uncommon for named defendants in a civil matter to be listed, but never served the complaint, and eventually they are dismissed from the matter without further steps being taken by a plaintiff(s). California Rules of Court rule 3.110(b) states in relevant part that, [t]he complaint must be served on all named defendants and proofs of service on those defendants must be filed with the court within 60 days of filing of the complaint. The subject complaint was filed by plaintiff on February 7, 2023. Therefore, at this time it is speculative whether BrewBilt Brewing Co. has any threat of material litigation or pending material litigation. To the extent that one considers being a named defendant of a complaint as a threatened or pending matter, we have not devoted substantial attention to this matter, and do not anticipate doing so in the future with the facts known to us. Although though the underlying events giving rising to the claim/cause of action occurred prior to the date of December 31, 2022, at this time, it is our current opinion that there are no unasserted possible claims or assessments of such that are probable as it relates to BrewBilt Brewing Co. In other words, with facts known to us at this time, we opine that it is not probable (Standard 8(a)) that there are assertable legal claims against BrewBilt Brewing Co. that must be disclosed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 as they do not also likely satisfy Standard 8(b): The amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared with the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Revenues:
The Companys revenues were $124,684 for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $43,090 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenues in 2022 comprised of $96,750 in beer related sales, $27,650 in audio/visual component sales and $284 in merchandise sales. Of the $96,750 in beer sales, $1,062 was from related parties. The increase in revenue is from beer sales that started in the third quarter of 2022.
Cost of Sales:
The Companys cost of sales was $175,632 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $11,415 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Cost of sales in 2022 included raw materials, beer packaging, selling expenses, depreciation of the brewing equipment and overhead expenses. The increase is due to the addition of beer sales which have higher costs associated with the production of the product.
13
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, salaries and wages, share based compensation, office expenses and fees associated with preparing reports and SEC filings relating to being a public company. Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were $3,010,128 and $6,930,374, respectively. Although there were increases in salaries and wages in 2022, there was a decrease in share based compensation which was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating expenses.
Other Income (Expense):
Other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $(5,249,903) and $404,811, respectively. Other income (expense) consisted of derivative valuation gains and losses, gains or losses on settlement and extinguishment of debt, conversion of debt, and interest expense. The gain or loss on derivative valuation is directly attributable to the change in fair value of the derivative liability. Interest expense is primarily attributable to interest and penalties on outstanding notes payable, the initial interest expense associated with the valuation of derivative instruments at issuance, and the accretion of the convertible debentures over their respective terms. The increase in other expense primarily resulted from the fluctuation of the Companys stock price which impacted the valuation of the derivative liabilities and an increase in interest expenses. In addition, there was an increase in extinguishment of debt and interest expenses.
Net Loss:
Net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $8,310,979 compared to $6,493,888 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net loss can be explained by the increase in operating and other expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022. Net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $233,700 compared to $365,104 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net loss was higher in 2021 since the reporting period was for one year, whereas the net loss for 2022 is for a period of six months due to the sale of Satel which occurred on July 1, 2022.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had a negligible effect on our operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 cash (used in) provided for investing activities was $(735,679) compared to $(559,119) for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the year ended December 31, 2022, the company recognized brewing equipment of $1,135,801, other property and equipment of $11,771, reclassified $450,000 of related party deposits, recorded $287,758 of related party accounts payable and incurred $325,865 in leasehold improvements.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, cash (used in) provided for financing activities was $1,593,466 compared to $1,013,160, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cash used by financing activity primarily resulted from an increase in proceeds from notes payable and promissory notes during the year ended December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance and current asset total of $32,624 and $92,581 respectively, compared with $46,427 and $527,665 of cash and current assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in assets was due to the reclassification of related party deposits for brewery equipment that was delivered and put into use in Q2 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total current liabilities of $5,867,700 compared with $4,364,451 as of December 31, 2021. The increase in current liabilities was primarily attributed to an increase in derivative liabilities, accrued liabilities, notes payable and related party liabilities.
Going Concern
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. Since its inception, the Company has been funded by related parties through capital investment and borrowing funds.
As of December 31, 2022, we have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our December 31, 2022 audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, managements estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
15
Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty liabilities, share-based payments, income taxes and litigation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. We believe that the significant accounting policies and assumptions as detailed in Note 1 to the financial statements contained herein may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of BrewBilt Brewing Company and subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BrewBilt Brewing Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for each of two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 Companys 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and 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.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
18
Convertible Notes Payable
As discussed in Note 8, the Company borrows funds through the use of convertible notes payable that contain conversion prices that fluctuates with the Companys stock price. Due to the variable nature of the conversion price, the embedded conversion features may require bifurcation from the host contract. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining the proper treatment for these convertible note agreements.
We evaluated managements conclusions regarding their convertible notes payable by testing the assumptions used to account for the conversion features and testing the completeness and accuracy of the convertible note payable amounts.

BREWBILT BREWING COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
BrewBilt Brewing Company (formerly Simlatus Corporation) is the parent company of wholly owned subsidiaries Satel Group Inc. and BrewBilt Brewing LLC. On July 1, 2022, the Company sold Satel Group Inc. to Richard Hylen in exchange for the debt owed to him by the Company. Located in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, BrewBilt Brewing produces its own line of premium craft beers. BrewBilt Brewing LLC is a Type-23 licensed manufacturer with the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC).
BrewBilt Brewing is devoted to the modern execution of traditional styles utilizing hand-crafted, industry-leading equipment combined with an artful approach and a passion for quality. A focus on regionally sourced local malt, premium hops, and pristine water gives the company its dynamic palette for distinctly satisfying beers. Inspired by European brewing tradition and American craft innovation, BrewBilt Brewing creates craft beers that reflect a sense of place and in order to share their brewing philosophy for the ultimate drinking pleasure.
BrewBilt Brewing brews on a state-of-the-art 20-bbl brewhouse built for us by our sister company BrewBilt Manufacturing. The company specializes in fermenting their lagers in stacked horizontal lagering tanks and to produce cold aging time in order to achieve optimal taste and clarity. The craft beer is carefully packaged using the new counter-pressure Codi-Line to ensure the lowest possible level of oxygen which, in-turn, maximizes product quality and shelf life.
BrewBilt Brewings production staff are industry veterans who use American made, professional-grade brewing equipment and ingredients to deliver outstanding craft beer to North America and Europe.
The company serves major grocery chains, restaurants, and various hospitality chains.
Settlement and Sale Transaction
On July 1, 2022, the Company executed a Settlement and Sale Agreement with our Chairman, Richard Hylen. The Company agreed to sell the wholly owned subsidiary, Satel Group, Inc. to Mr. Hylen in exchange for the debt that the Company owes him. As of June 30, 2022, this debt is inclusive of unpaid wages and interest of $264,096 and personal loans made to Satel in the amount of $304,314. The Company issued 2,406 shares of Convertible Preferred Series A stock at $268.50 per share, with a fair value of $646,011.
Financial Statement Presentation
The audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Fiscal Year End
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities.
24
Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from managements estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include:
■ | Liability for legal contingencies. |
■ | Useful life of assets. |
■ | Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances. |
■ | Impairment of finite-lived intangibles. |
■ | Obsolescence of inventory |
■ | Stock-based compensation calculated using the lattice pricing model. |
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the results of operations of a component of an entity or a group or component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the reporting companys operations that has either been disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale are required to be reported as discontinued operations in a companys consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered a discontinued operation, both the operations and cash flows of the discontinued component must have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the company and the company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the discontinued component after the disposal transaction. As a result of the Settlement and Sale Agreement to sell Satel Group Inc., the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activity related to the sale of its previously wholly owned subsidiary as discontinued operations.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotional materials when incurred. On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into a Platform Services Contract with SRAX for marketing advisory services and platform fees for a period of one year in the amount of $300,000, to be paid in Convertible Preferred Series A stock. The fees are non-refundable and therefore the Company recorded the full amount to the statement of operations. Total advertising costs were $371,294 and $40,824, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
25
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; | |
● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; | |
● | determination of the transaction price; | |
● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
● | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue and related cost of sales until all conditions are met. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has deferred revenue of $0 and $0, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and managements evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on a due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is $0.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amortized cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving retroactive effect to the reverse stock split affected on September 30, 2022 (see Note 16). Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, beer cans and labels, keg collars and toppers, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method and net realizable value. Any adjustments to reduce the cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has inventory of $26,434 and $11,576, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.
26
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect managements estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The following table represents the Companys financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for each fair value hierarchy level:
December 31, 2022 | Derivative Liabilities | Total | ||||||
Level I | $ | $ | ||||||
Level II | $ | $ | ||||||
Level III | $ | 2,398,176 | $ | 2,398,176 | ||||
December 31, 2021 | Derivative Liabilities | Total | ||||||
Level I | $ | $ | ||||||
Level II | $ | $ | ||||||
Level III | $ | 1,598,253 | $ | 1,598,253 |
In managements opinion, the fair value of convertible notes payable and advances payable is approximate to carrying value as the interest rates and other features of these instruments approximate those obtainable for similar instruments in the current market. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balances reported for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the lives of the related financings on a basis that approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
27
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
As of the date of this filing, the Company is not current in filing their tax returns. The last return filed by the Company was December 31, 2017, and the Company has not accrued any potential penalties or interest from that period forward. The Company will need to file returns for the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, which are still open for examination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard.
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB for the year ended December 31, 2022 and through the date of filing of this report, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a shareholders deficit of $19,292,215 since its inception, working capital deficit of $5,775,119, negative cash flows from operations, and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieve a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund its desired business objectives for its production and marketing for the next 12 months. The Company has arranged financing and intends to utilize the cash received to fund the production and marketing of more beers. This financing may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements required to complete the product design for the augmented/virtual reality markets. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any new product development. The Company plans to seek additional financing if necessary, in private or public equity offering(s) to secure future funding for operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional funding. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of the Companys business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.
These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classification to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – SATEL GROUP, INC. DISPOSITION
On July 1, 2022, the Company and Richard Hylen (the Buyer) entered into a Settlement and Sale Agreement for the sale of the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Satel Group Inc. in exchange for the debt owed to the buyer.
28
Satel Group Inc. is the premier provider of DirecTV to high-rise apartments, condominiums, and large commercial office buildings in the San Francisco metropolitan area. Satels revenues supported BrewBilt Brewing Company during construction of the brewing facility and ramp-up of craft beer revenues.
As of June 30, 2022, the debt is inclusive of unpaid wages of $254,272 and interest owed on the unpaid wages of $9,824 for a total amount of $264,096.

The company valued the liabilities at $646,011 and exchanged this with Preferred Series A stock at $268.50 per share for a total of 2,406 shares.
In accordance with ASC 205-20, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as held for sale. The disposition of Satel met the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E and was reported as a discontinued operation.

9. LEASES
The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity.
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Our leases have remaining lease terms from 3.5 years to 4.83 years.
42
The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entitys ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 9A includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
58
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1. | There is a lack of accounting resources – The Company has insufficient resources for data entry, reviews, and/or oversight from a financial expert with the appropriate level of knowledge and experience to accurately capture transactions in accordance with US GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. This lack of resources further results in inadequate segregation of duties. Additionally, the Company lacks an audit committee as well as a financial expert. | |
2. | The Company lacks processes and procedures to ensure transactional evidence is properly retained - The Company needs to implement processes that ensure they are aware of, and maintain, evidence necessary to substantiate recorded transactions. The Company needs to retain formal executed documents and adequate support, as they are essential to accurate financial reporting. | |
3. | Due to the Company not having formal Control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the companys internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
