An Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 950 operating breweries – being centrally located in this booming market was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as food grade quality which enables the company to build vessels for food and beverage processing. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from suppliers which enables BrewBilt to closely monitor quality, while the companys revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the world a great deal of specific interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia.

In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA. This facility was purchased by BrewBilt in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The companys website has expanded to include online sales and online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded product line of brewing accessories.

Our Market Opportunity
The craft beer industry offers a value of $94.1 billion in the United States, yet it is still an area of the economy which offers growth potential. As the craft beer market matures, the smaller players are being squeezed out, and the more established breweries are consolidating and gaining market share.
In response to this industry trend, BrewBilt is shifting our marketing focus to larger brewing systems that are in higher demand as these successful breweries expand their production volumes with bigger equipment. These targeted customers are less price sensitive than the small startups and more willing to pay top dollar for the quality and reliability that BrewBilt is known for in the craft beer industry.
4
BrewBilt systems are engineered for high efficiency and consistency, which are critical factors for regional breweries and microbreweries, which make up for 66% and 19% of US craft beer production, respectively.
There are five distinct craft beer industry market segments: regional brewers, microbreweries, brewpubs, taprooms, and contract brewers.
Essential Craft Beer Industry Statistics
As of the writing of this information, 2021 industry numbers have not been released.
California had the largest output for the craft beer industry in 2020, offering $9.7 billion in total impact. Pennsylvania finished in second during the year, with a $5.6 billion impact. They were followed by Texas ($5.4 billion), New York ($4.9 billion), and Florida ($3.8 billion). The overall beer market in the United States has a value of $94.1 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 2020. The dollar sales of craft beer products in the United States was down 22% in 2020, which was a result of pandemic sales being shifted from taprooms to retail for at-home consumption. However, on-site sales are already rebounding strongly in 2022. 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.
Industry Overview
Overall U.S. beer volume sales were down 3% in 2020, while craft brewer volume sales declined 9%, lowering small and independent brewers share of the U.S. beer market by volume to 12.3%.
Retail dollar sales of craft decreased 22%, to $22.2 billion, and now account for just under 24% of the $94 billion U.S. beer market (previously $116 billion). The primary reason for the larger dollar sales decline was the shift in beer volume from bars and restaurants to packaged sales.

Competition
BrewBilt competes against a number of companies, most of which are selling mass produced equipment from China made from less costly, inferior quality Chinese steel which often is not food grade quality. While this broader market is very competitive, there continues to be little competition and strong market demand for higher quality, custom designed, hand-crafted systems that BrewBilt produces with American labor.

Penny Stock Regulations Restrictions on Marketability
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) contains a description of the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws, (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions, (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks, and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock, and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock once we obtain a listing on a regulated market. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares of our common stock.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Revenues:
The Companys revenues were $774,388 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1,379,580 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is due to fewer projects being completed and delivered to customers. The company had multiple large orders sold during the year which have longer production times. In addition, the average revenue per job for the customer orders that were completed were lower during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. This is due to an increase in pass-through sales rather than jobs that required fabrication.
Cost of Sales:
The Companys cost of materials was $419,098 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $455,360 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in costs in relation to revenue was due to an increase in raw material costs as a result of supply chain issues and the continuing impact of COVID-19. The company also had a higher number of smaller customer orders with low profit margins. COVID-19 related safety measures also resulted in a reduction of manufacturing productivity.
10
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, salaries and wages, office expenses and fees associated with preparing reports and SEC filings relating to being a public company. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $7,661,953 and $9,905,885, respectively. Although the company had an increase in G&A expenses and salaries and wages in 2021, the decrease in overall expenses was due to a reduction in share-based compensation pursuant to Licensing and Distribution Agreements that were executed in 2020.
Other Income (Expense):
Other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $(4,390,446) and $(7,343,185), respectively. Other income (expense) consisted of gain or loss on derivative valuation, gain or loss on disposal of assets, loss on conversions, debt forgiveness 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 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 variance primarily resulted from the fluctuation of the Companys stock price which impacted the valuation of the derivative liabilities on the convertible debt.
Net Loss:
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $11,697,109 compared with $16,324,850 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decreased loss can be explained by the decrease in share-based consulting fees and the decrease in derivative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a shareholders deficit of $16,138,003 since its inception, working capital deficit of $3,085,906, 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 achieving a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

Working Capital (Deficit) | (3,085,906 | ) | (4,057,343 | ) |
The overall working capital (deficit) decreased from $(4,057,343) at December 31, 2020 to $(3,085,906) at December 31, 2021 due to an increase in cash and raw material purchases and a decrease in derivative liabilities and accrued liabilities.
The Company requires additional capital to fully execute its marketing program and increase revenues. Presently we are relying on short term loans from our sole officer and director to meet operational shortfalls. There can be no assurance that continued funding will be available on satisfactory terms.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,316,469 compared to $964,667 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The variance primarily resulted from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, an increase in operating assets and a decrease in operating liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $(185,289) compared to $(33,823) for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cash used in investing activity is due to an increase in fixed assets purchases in 2021.
During the years ended December 31, 2021, cash from financing activities was $1,648,177 compared to $1,069,810 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cash from financing activity is due to an increase in proceeds from convertible debt and promissory notes during the year ended December 31, 2021.
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, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
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.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
● | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
● | comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
● | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as say-on-pay and say-on-frequency; and |
● | disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEOs compensation to median employee compensation. |
12
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
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 shareholders and the board of directors of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Companys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Companys significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates brewing, fermentation and distilling systems for the craft beer industry using Best in Class American made stainless steel. Founded by Jeff Lewis in 2014 with a vision of creating a profitable company by hiring excellent local craftsmen, designing and building products to exceed customers expectations Mr. Lewis now has over 20 years of experience as a craft beer brewer, a custom tank/vessel designer, fabrication and integration expert and business owner who initially founded Portland Kettle Works.
BrewBilt has strong relationships with suppliers of raw materials, equipment, and services globally, in addition an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide. An Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 950 operating breweries – being centrally located in this booming market was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as food grade quality which enables the company to build vessels for food and beverage processing. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from suppliers which enables BrewBilt to closely monitor quality, while the companys revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the world a great deal of specific interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA. This facility was purchased by BrewBilt in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The companys website has expanded to include online sales and online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded product line of brewing accessories. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.
`Amendments to Previously Reported Annual Financial Information
The Companys previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, as included in its Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2021, have been restated since the Company improperly classified the Series A preferred stock in permanent equity as opposed to liability pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14(A), since the financial instrument embodies an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares and the monetary value of such obligation is based solely on a fixed amount known at inception.
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).
Business Combinations
As per ASC 805-50 a common-control transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination because there is no change in control over the net assets. The accounting for these transactions is addressed in the Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control. The net assets are derecognized by the transferring entity and recognized by the receiving entity at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control. Any difference between the proceeds transferred or received and the carrying amounts of the net assets is recognized in equity in the transferring and receiving entities separate financial statements and eliminated in consolidation. The change in accounting principle is applied retroactively for all periods presented.
20
Fiscal year end
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
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.
COVID-19
The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020. The direct financial impact of the pandemic has primarily shown in significantly reduced production from the on-premises channel and higher labor and safety-related costs at the Companys manufacturing facility. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of manufacturing productivity. The Company will continue to assess and manage this situation and will provide a further update in each quarterly earnings release, to the extent that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are then known more clearly.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has deferred $1,104,923 and $71,280, respectively, in revenue, and $880,494 and $489 in cost of sales, respectively, related to customer orders in progress. These amounts are recorded as billings in excess of revenues and earnings in excess of billings in the accompanying balance sheets.
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 due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is $0.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Raw materials, which principally consist of raw stainless steel, raw stainless tubing, motors, pumps, and fittings, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company wrote off $39,434 and $17,246 in obsolete inventory, respectively, to the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has inventory of $147,859 and $44,223, respectively.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired in the Merger is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The testing of goodwill under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.
21
Capitalized Distribution Fees
The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale, or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the new value. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, there were no impairment losses recognized for intangible assets.
Warranty
The Company is a manufacturer of products which are shipped to our customers directly from the Company. For products that are made from raw materials, the Company offers a 6-year limited warranty. The parts provided by outside vendors as finished goods that are added to a system produced by the Company as components, have a manufacturers warranty that is passed on to the end user of the complete system. To date, BrewBilt has spent less than $5,000 over the past 5 years for repairs (under warranty) on products they have built, with most of the costs going to cover travel and lodging expenses. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a liability of $5,000 and $5,000, respectively, for warranties, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
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.
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.
22
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.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Input | December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | ||||||||
Level | Fair Value | Fair Value | ||||||||
Derivative Liability | 3 | $ | 882,706 | $ | 2,373,176 | |||||
Total Financial Liabilities | $ | 882,706 | $ | 2,373,176 |
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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.
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, 2019, and the Company has not accrued any potential penalties or interest from that period forward. The Company will need to file returns for the year ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, which is still open for examination.
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. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Although there were new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the year ended December 31, 2021 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.
23
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a shareholders deficit of $16,138,003 since its inception, working capital deficit of $3,085,906, 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 achieving 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 production for the next 12 months. The Company has arranged financing and intends to utilize the cash received to cover ongoing operational expenses. 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.
NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid fees represent amounts paid in advance for future contractual benefits to be received. Contracting expenses paid in advance are recorded as a prepaid asset and then amortized to the statements of operations when services are rendered, or over the life of the contract using the straight-line method.
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, prepaid expenses consisted of the following:
December 31, | ||||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Prepaid insurance expenses | $ | 8,217 | $ | 3,691 | ||||
Prepaid consulting expenses | 40,000 | |||||||

Depreciation and amortization expenses of $45,420 and $40,686 were recorded to the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE 5 – 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 Leases
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 lease has a remaining lease term of less than 4 years.
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.
On January 1, 2018, the Company entered into a standard office lease for approximately 8,000 square feet of space, located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr. #10 Grass Valley, CA 95945. The lease has a term of 10 years, from January 1, 2018 through January 1, 2028, with a monthly rent of $4,861.
On January 1, 2020, the Company terminated the lease agreement dated January 1, 2018, and entered into a new office lease for the same space located in the Wolf Creek Industrial Building at 110 Spring Hill Dr. #10 Grass Valley, CA 95945. The lease has a term of 5 years, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025, with a monthly rent of $4,861.

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLES
On August 20, 2021, the company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with South Pacific Traders Oy. Pursuant to the agreement, the company will issue 50,000 Convertible Preferred Series A shares at $10 per share. South Pacific Traders will market BrewBilt Manufacturing equipment to the European Community and United Kingdom. Management determined that the 50,000 Convertible Series A Preferred to be issued as consideration for the exclusive distribution agreement is a finite-lived intangible asset and will be amortized over the five year term of the agreement. The share were issued subsequent to the reporting period and therefore recorded as convertible preferred stock payable.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There are no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and/or financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
37
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2021:
1) | Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. We have a single officer and director. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management; |
2) | Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; |
Managements Remediation Initiatives
As of December 31, 2021, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of our evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
38
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 the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1. | A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing; |
2. | Such person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
3. | Such person was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities: |
i. | Acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity; |
ii. | Engaging in any type of business practice; or |
iii. | Engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of Federal or State securities laws or Federal commodities laws; |
4. | Such person was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (3)(i) above, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; |
5. | Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
40
6. | Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated; |
7. | Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: |
i. | Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or |
ii. | Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or |
iii. | Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |
8. | Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committee of our Board of Directors. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors does not currently have any member who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost of retaining such a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are a development stage business, we believe the services of an audit committee financial expert are not necessary at this time.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers.
Potential Conflict of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our sole director has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, including his own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our officers or sole director.
41
Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive and operational risks. The Board of Directors dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced at that time. In addition, since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the Board of Directors is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Companys financial risk exposures.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The table set forth below summarizes the annual and long-term compensation for services in all capacities to us payable to our officers and directors for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Our Board of Directors may adopt an incentive stock option plan for our executive officers that would result in additional compensation.
