CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited)

See notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements

BUSINESS WARRIOR CORPORATION 

Organization—Business Warrior Corporation (the Company” or “Business Warrior”) was originally incorporated under the name Kading Companies, S.A., under the International Business Companies Ordinance of the Territory of the British Virgin Islands on October 10, 1995. Kading Companies was traded on the Pink Sheets of the OTC Markets under the stock ticker KDNG. On January 27, 2020, Kading Companies was redomiciled in Wyoming. Bluume, LLC was founded in 2014 and was a sales and marketing organization that provided small businesses with basic advertising, merchant services, white label Point of Sale systems, and a white label business analytics software. On January 31, 2020, Bluume, LLC completed a triangular reverse merger with Kading Companies (formerly KDNG) and changed its name to Business Warrior. It is currently an active corporation in the state of Wyoming. The previous Bluume team took over all operations of the Company and formed a new business plan, which replaced all former plans of the previous management team at Kading Companies. In July 2020, the Company changed its stock ticker to BZWR.

On March 18, 2022, the Company acquired Helix House, LLC, a premium marketing agency that provides small business advertising services including digital marketing. Additionally, on June 18, 2022, the Company acquired FluidFi Inc., dba Alchemy Technology, a lending technology company that builds fully customized lending end-to-ending lending solutions.

Nature of Operations— Business Warrior has three divisions of the company: Helix House, LLC, Alchemy Technologies, and Business Warrior. Helix House is a premium marketing agency that provides small business advertising services including digital marketing (YouTube, Google, social media), traditional marketing (billboards, mailers, fliers, etc.), and social media content. Alchemy builds and manages lending software technology for enterprise businesses which are fully customized for each client. Through the combination of services from Helix House and Alchemy, Business Warrior offers a full service lending as a service solution known as PayPlan: a comprehensive lending software platform that includes marketing services to drive applicants for lenders and merchants.

Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated and wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect the elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual events and results could materially differ from those assumptions and estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.

Property and Equipment— Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets.

Cost and accumulated depreciation for property retired or disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Investments --Effective December 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"), which requires us to measure all equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, marketable equity securities not accounted for under the equity method were classified as trading or available-for-sale. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities classified as trading securities were recognized in net income. For equity securities classified as available-for-sale, realized gains and losses were included in net income. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), net of tax. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values were recorded at cost. Our investments in debt securities are carried at either amortized cost or fair value. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are carried at fair value and classified as either trading or available-for-sale.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall,” impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value.

Goodwill—The Company’s goodwill balance of $2.3 million as of November 30, 2022 resulted from the acquisitions of Helix House, LLC and FluidFi, Inc. Helix House, LLC was acquired on March 17, 2022, and FluidFi, Inc. was acquired on June 8, 2022. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment, which may result from the deterioration in the operating performance of the acquired business, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in the applicable laws or regulations and a variety of other circumstances. Any resulting impairment charge would be recognized as an expense in the period in which impairment is identified. After performing a qualitative and quantitative analyses for the acquired companies, the Company recognized approximately $4.0 million in goodwill impairment during the year ended August 31, 2022.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the probability of future collection. The probability of future collection is based on specific considerations of historical loss patterns and an assessment of the continuation of such patterns based on past collection trends and known or anticipated future economic events that may impact collectability. The probability of future collection is also assessed by geography. To date, losses resulting from uncollected receivables have not exceeded management’s expectations. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $459,117 and $0 as of February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes— Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of general and administrative expenses. Our federal tax return and any state tax returns are not currently under examination.

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with customers,” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company’s main revenue stream is from sales of products. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

The Company has four main sources of revenue. Helix House is a premium marketing agency that charges monthly service fees and one-time project charges for providing small business advertising services including digital marketing (YouTube, Google, social media), traditional marketing (billboards, mailers, fliers, etc.), and social media content. FluidFi Inc, dba Alchemy builds fully customized lending end-to-end lending software solutions for banks, lenders, and financial technology firms. Alchemy charges monthly recurring fees for each client's software-as-a-service as well as contracted work for custom software development. Business Warrior collects revenue for building software lending solutions, and sales and marketing solutions associated with each lending client. Business Warrior Funding collects principal and interest payments for providing business loans to small businesses.

Identify the customer contract

A customer contract is generally identified when the Company and a customer have executed an arrangement that calls for the Company to grant access to its online software products and provide professional services in exchange for consideration from the customer.

Identify performance obligations that are distinct

A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company has determined that subscriptions for its online software products are distinct because, once a customer has access to the online software product is fully functional and does not require any additional development, modification, or customization. Professional services sold are distinct because the customer benefits from the on-boarding and training to make better use of the online software products it purchased.

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies. The Company estimates any variable consideration to which it will be entitled at contract inception, and reassesses at each reporting date, when determining the transaction price. The Company does not include variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when any uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer.  The Company determines the SSP of its goods and services based upon the average sales prices for each type of online software product and professional services sold.  In instances where there are not sufficient data points, or the selling prices for a particular online software product or professional service are disparate, the Company estimates the SSP using other observable inputs, such as similar products or services.

Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied

Revenues are recognized when or as control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers.  Revenue from online software products is recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the Company’s online software products are made available to customers.  Most subscription contracts are one year or less.  The Company recognizes revenue from on-boarding, training, and consulting services as the services are provided.  Cash payments received in advance of providing subscription or services are recorded to deferred revenue until the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue from the Company’s business lending solution is recognized as interest income and origination fees, based upon the loan that is issued to each customer.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share—The Company computes income per common share, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, that could result from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. No potential dilutive common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss is reported.

Fair Value Measurements—ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Advertising and Promotion— The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising, marketing, and public relations to expense as incurred. The Company has $26,008 and $92,254 in advertising expenses for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2023, respectively.

Cost of Sales— This is comprised of referral and sales commission, advertising for our premium marketing clients, website hosting fees, and data fees for our software subscribers.

Leases— Under ASC Top 842, “Leases”, the Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease – right to use, current portion of operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, less current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of long-term debt, net and long-term debt, less current portion and debt issuance costs in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

As permitted under ASU Topic 842, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of ASU 2016-02 to short term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company launched its new small business lending solution called Business Warrior Funding. The new lending solution leverages the Company’s expertise and strategic partnerships to help entrepreneurs grow their business and offset the difficulty often associated with traditional bank lending. Loans to customers range from $5,000 to $125,000, with interest rates ranging from 16.99% to 23.0%. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had a loans receivable balance of $197,034. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had a loans receivable balance of $256,781, of which $33,562 are considered current and $162,472 are non-current.

The Company has $59,427 recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts as of February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022.

The Company also entered into a normal SBA loan during 2020 with a principal amount of $149,900. The note bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum. On March 16, 2021, the SBA announced extended deferment periods for all COVID-19 and other disaster loans until 2022. For the six months ended February 28, 2023, the Company made payments of $4,386.

Aggregate principal maturities of the SBA loan is as follows:

The Board of Directors has adopted a written related party transaction policy. This policy applies to all transactions that qualify for disclosure. Information about transactions involving related persons is reviewed by management. Related persons include Company directors and executive officers, as well as their immediate family members. If a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in any Company transaction, then management would decide whether or not to approve or ratify the transaction. Amounts due to related parties were $162,290 and $159,161 as of February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022. These amounts are considered a current liability.

The revolving Line of Credit (LOC) consists of notes in the principal amount of $901,176 that was paid in cash and the conversion of 12,017 of Preferred B stock into debt with a principal amount of $1,201,602. The LOC has a maximum draw amount of $5,000,000. Advances on the LOC bear interest, on the outstanding principal balance at a rate equal to ten (10%) per annum. Interest only payments start on July 1, 2023 and the LOC has a maturity date of September 30, 2024. As of February 28, 2023, the Company’s principal balance due is $2,102,778.

During the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with ASC 450-20-50, Contingencies. The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals.

In March 2022, the Company closed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Helix House, LLC, a marketing agency based in Scottsdale, Arizona, for an initial closing purchase price of $2,250,000. The closing purchase price included $1,200,000 in cash and 18,004,115 shares of restricted common stock valued at $1,050,000 at the acquisition date. There is additional earn-out potential based on future revenue growth of Helix House, LLC. The earn-out potential is up to a total of $600,000 in cash and $1,900,000 in stock, which is valued at the average of the closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock for the 20 trading days following the achievement of the revenue milestones. Based on year to date activity with the Helix House acquisition, Management has estimated the potential earnout liability to be at 50%. As of February 28, 2023 the Company recorded a contingent liability earnout of $1,250,000.

In November 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a partner to develop and market a small business funding program. The program (technology) was built and loans were distributed on a pilot basis, but 90% were funded internally by the Company. Due to challenging macroeconomic conditions, the program has been temporarily paused, as securing adequate funding for the small business loans has proven difficult. As per the contract terms, if the Company does not generate a minimum of three million dollars in earnings on the partner’s behalf by December 31, 2023, a penalty equal to the difference between the total amount earned and three million dollars will be triggered. This penalty would be payable by the Company to the partner by March 1, 2024.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company determined that the three-million-dollar penalty would occur. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is actively exploring potential solutions to assist the partner in achieving the three-million-dollar target, including the possibility of resuming the program once macroeconomic conditions improve. This may involve negotiating an extension and amending the current agreement to extend the terms. The ultimate outcome of these negotiations cannot be determined at this time. Accordingly, a contingent liability of three million dollars, discounted to present value at an imputed interest rate of 17.97%, has been recognized in the financial statements. The Company will continue to assess this contingency and will update the financial statements accordingly as new information becomes available.

Series A preferred shares

As of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, 15,500 shares were issued and outstanding with a par value of $0.001 These shares were authorized in 2020 and each share is convertible into 0.1% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding at the time of conversion. Each holder of these preferred shares shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A preferred stock held by each holder are convertible.

Series B preferred shares

In May 2022, the Company authorized 100,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. As of February 28, 2023 there are no Series B shares issued and outstanding.

Series C preferred shares

As part of the acquisition of FluidFi, Inc., on June 8, 2022, the Company authorized 50,000 shares of the Series C preferred stock with a stated value of $100 per share and a par value of $0.001, with a dividend equal to seven percent (7%) per annum of the Original issuance of $100. As of February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022, the Company has 50,000 Preferred C shares issued and outstanding. As of February 28, 2023, the dividend due was $233,333.

Each holder of outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series C preferred stock held by such holder are convertible.

The Company is disputing the issuance of Series C preferred shares and the related ongoing dividend payments. The dispute stems from issues that arose after the closing of the acquisition of FluidFi, Inc. The Company believes that these amounts will be offset against outstanding obligations owed to it by the previous owners of FluidFi. As a result of this dispute, the Company has classified these dividend payments as a liability in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of this matter may impact the Company's financial position and results, but the outcome remains uncertain at this time.

For the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company did not have any one customer representing more than 15% of total revenue for the period. This was a significant change compared to the three months ended November 30, 2022, the Company had one customer that represented over 95% of total revenue for the period. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had eight customers representing 90% of total accounts receivable and two customers representing 36% of total accounts receivable. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Company had one customer that represented 17% of total accounts receivable and two customers representing 30% of total accounts receivable.

The following table reflects the issuances of embedded derivatives and changes in fair value inputs and assumptions related to the embedded derivatives as of February 28, 2023.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. Federal income tax rate is 21%.

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following six months ended February 28:

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant stems comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

The Company files income tax returns for federal purposes and in many states.  The Company’s tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for certain length of time, generally three to four years, following the tax year to which these filings related.  The statute of limitations for adjustment of the net operating losses utilized on these tax returns remains open an additional three to four years, depending on jurisdiction, from the date these returns were filed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our management’s discussion and analysis provides a narrative about our financial performance and condition that should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward looking statements reflecting our current expectations and estimates and assumptions about events and trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the sections of our annual report on Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors”. 

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended February 28, 2023 and 2022

Revenues

For the three months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, we had revenues of $877,281 and $736,147, respectively. The increase was due to the new business model created after combining the businesses of the two entities that we acquired in 2022 (Alchemy and Helix).

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, we had operating expenses of $983,920 and $1,751,728, a decrease of 43.7%, due to a decrease of $460,461 in salaries and wages, $116,322 in General and Administrative expenses, and $284,497 in advertising and promotion. These decreases were all due to operational efficiencies attained from the acquisitions and no employee performance bonuses paid this year. This was offset by an increase in professional services of $93,472 due to an increase in attorney and accounting fees.

Net Loss

Our Net income (Loss) for the three months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, was $(2,496,252) versus $(1,040,832) respectively. The decrease is attributable to a contingent settlement of $(2,509,620) for a pending liability that would be due in March of 2024. The Company is working on ways to restructure that agreement that will reduce the probability of the liability taking affect and/or an extension on the term that will give the Company the opportunity to eliminate the liability completely. Overall, without the contingent settlement, in a year over year comparison, the Company had a 19.2% increase in sales, a 43.8% decrease in operating expenses and an increase in other income resulting in the net improvement of $1,054,200 compared to the same period last year.

Assets and Liabilities

Our total current assets decreased to $939,978 from $1,011,896 for the period ended February 28, 2023, compared to August 31, 2022. This majority of the decrease was due to a decrease in Accounts Receivables collected, but slightly offset by an increase in cash.

Total current liabilities increased to $3,275,926 from $2,974,009 during the three-month period ended February 28, 2023, compared to our year end at August 31, 2022. The increase reflects an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities to $1,831,463 compared to $1,063,345 on August 31, 2022, but offset by a decrease of $469,697 in deferred revenue.

Total liabilities increased to $7,948,584 for the period ended February 28, 2023, compared to $3,248,034 for the period ended August 31, 2022. The increase is due to a line of credit for $1,416,661, a contingent liability recorded for $2,509,620, and a non-cash derivative liability for $514,925. As mentioned above, the Company believes they will be able to greatly reduce the contingent liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used by operating activities

The Company’s net cash from operating activity was $(727,027) for the quarter ended February 28, 2023 compared to $(685,254) for the quarter ended February 28, 2022. The decrease is due to a decrease in deferred revenue, an increase in a contingency liability, and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash provided by investing activities

Net cash from investing activities was $96,584 for the period ended February 28, 2023, as compared to net cash of $(160,488) for the period ended February 28, 2022. The increase in net cash is due to the collection of loan receivables from the small business loans provided by Business Warrior Funding and the reduction of a property lease in the current period.

Cash provided by financing activities

Net cash from financing activities decreased to $705,791 as of February 28, 2023 as compared to $2,482,761 for the same period in 2022. The decrease was due to a decrease of proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock and the conversion of Preferred Shares to debt, but partially offset by the proceeds from a new Line of Credit.

We currently do not have sufficient capital to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months. We intend to rely on financing from convertible debt, promissory notes, and sale of stock to fund our operations.

For the Six Months Months Ended February 28, 2023 and 2022

Revenues

For the six months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, we had revenues of 2,333,023 and $1,188,637, respectively. The increase was due to the new business model created after combining the businesses of the two entities that we acquired in 2022 (Alchemy and Helix).

Operating Expenses

For the six months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, we had operating expenses of $1,462,402 and $1,631,477, a decrease of 10.4%, due to a decrease in salaries and wages, General and Administrative expenses, and advertising and promotion. These decreases were all due to operational efficiencies attained from the acquisitions and no employee performance bonuses paid this year. This was offset by an increase in professional services of $74,013 due to an increase in attorney and accounting fees.

Net Loss

Our Net income (Loss) for the six months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, was $(3,486,494) versus $(1,554,623) respectively. The decrease is attributable to a contingent settlement of $(2,509,620) for a pending liability that would be due in March of 2024. The Company is working on ways to restructure that agreement that will reduce the probability of the liability taking affect and/or an extension on the term that will give the Company the opportunity to eliminate the liability completely. Overall, without the contingent settlement, in a year over year comparison, the Company had a 92.2% increase in sales, a 10.4% decrease in operating expenses.
