Notes to Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
and Year Ended December 31, 2019
Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 24, 2018 as CBD Brands, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is headquartered in Jupiter, Florida. The Company is a leading cutting-edge wellness brand dedicated to exploring and developing multiple therapeutic and medical use for Cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of various ailment and diseases such as cancer, arthritis, anxiety, insomnia, psoriasis, chronic pain amongst others.
Going Concern Consideration
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $131,113 in cash, accumulated deficit of $2,507,658, and the cash flow used in operation during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was $1,315,100. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its exploring and developing plans. Subsequent to September 30, 2020 the company completed an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) with net proceeds of approximately $6,000,000 (see Note 14 Subsequent Events). Although the Company expects to continue to incur significant losses, the Company has sufficient capital to sustain our operations for at least the next 24 months, but, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the subsequent year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force us to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jupiter Wellness, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Magical Beasts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
F-6 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Net Loss per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
F-7 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).
The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
• | identify the contract with a customer; |
• | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
• | determine the transaction price; |
• | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
• | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Our revenue currently is generated from one general product category of health care products with one performance obligation and geographically there are no specific concentrations of our customer base to disaggregate our revenue stream.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has not recognized any allowance for doubtful collections.
Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
On October 24, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
F-8 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year which would be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
Related parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. ASU 2014-09 is to be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has elected to apply the impact (if any) of applying ASU 2014-09 to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.
In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases” was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

Note 7 - Convertible Notes Payable – Related Parties
The 2019 Notes:
On June 10, 2019, the Company entered into a Twenty-Five Thousand Dollar ($25,000) Convertible Promissory Note (the “Caro Note”) with Caro Partners, LLC (“Caro”), a consulting firm owned by Brian S. John, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors. The term of the Caro Note was one year. The interest rate was ten percent (10%) non compounded and payable semi-annually. The Caro Note was convertible at any time by Caro at a conversion price of $0.25 per share of common stock. The Caro Note was paid in full in September 2019. As a result, no value was allocated to the conversion feature.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding balance of the two notes payable to related parties (the “Convertible Promissory Notes”) was $300,000. The terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes are as follows:
The first Convertible Promissory Note for $50,000, dated July 2019, has a term of one year, an annual interest rate of ten percent (10%), which is non compounded and payable semi-annually, and convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time by the holder at a conversion price of $0.25 per share, which is considered as the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the arm’s length equity transactions since there is no open market for the Company’s common stock yet. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features contained in this Convertible Promissory Note should carry neither beneficial conversion feature nor derivative liabilities.
The second Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000, dated December 31, 2019, has a term of one year, an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%), effective on December 31, 2019, which is non compounded and payable semi-annually, and convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time by the holders at a conversion price of $3.00 per share, which is considered as the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the arm’s length equity transactions since there is no open market for the Company’s common stock yet. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features contained in the Note should carry neither beneficial conversion feature nor derivative liabilities.
The 2020 Notes:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued nine convertible promissory notes totaling $1,075,000 (the “2020 Notes”) as follows:
Amount | Dated | Conversion Rate | ||||||||

3. | Issued to BBBY, Ltd, an LLC of which Byron Young, a Company Director, is a manager and a member. |
4. | Issued to Asia Pacific Partners Inc., an entity run by a consultant of the Company. |
All of the 2020 Notes have a one-year term and accrue interest at an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) non compounded and payable semi-annually. The 2020 Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at any time by the note holder at a conversion price of $3.00 - $5.00 per share, which is considered as the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the arm’s length equity transactions since there is yet to be any open market for the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features contained in the 2020 Notes should carry neither beneficial conversion feature nor derivative liabilities.
A September 30, 2020 the aggregate outstanding balance of the convertible notes payable (the “Convertible Promissory Notes”) was $1,375,000.
The Company recorded interest expense of $55,733 and $2,181 related to the Convertible Promissory Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020, the Company had accrued interest payable of $57,914.

Note 8 - Note payable issued in acquisition
In connection with the Acquisition of Magical Beasts, LLC (see Note 12) the Company issued a non-interest bearing $1,000,000 promissory note, due upon the earlier of i) the closing of a public offering or ii) December 31, 2020. The note has been valued at its discounted amount of $950,427. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company recognized $35,048 of interest expense for the accretion of the discount.
Note 9 – Covid-19 SBA Loans
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company applied for and received $28,878 under the Federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and $55,700 under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (“EIDL”), both of which are administered through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Under the guidelines of the PPP, the SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses. Under the guidelines of the EIDL, the maximum term is 30 years; however, terms are determined on a case-by-case basis based on each borrower’s ability to repay and carry an interest rate of 3.75%. The Company has not received any notification from the SBA as to whether the PPP will be forgiven or what terms the EIDL will ultimately be.

Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company entered into an office lease dated April 1, 2019 with a primary term of one-year, plus two one-year extension at the Company’s option. The base lease rate during the primary term is $2,000 per month, and the monthly rate during the optional extension will be increased to $2,080 and $2,163, respectively. The Company paid a total of $54,370 and $21,430 in rent and related fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
Under the new standard for lease reporting, the company recorded a Right of Use Asset (“ROU”) and an offsetting lease liability of $64,327 representing the present value of the future payments under the lease calculated using a 10% discount rate (the current borrowing rate of the company). The ROU and lease liability are amortized over the three-year life of the lease. The unamortized balances at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were ROU of $34,555 and $49,974, respectively, current lease liability of $ 5,396 and $20,566, respectively, and non-current lease liability of $30,138 and $30,137, respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized accreted interest expense of $3,310 and $4,377 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
On July 6 , 2020, Brian Menke (the “Plaintiff”) in Nevada court seeking to enforce a judgement that he had obtained in 2012 against Krista Whitley, the former owner and manager of Magical Beasts LLC., in the amount of $250,00. In July 2020, the Plaintiff brought a claim in Nevada State Court to impute such judgement to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Magical Beasts, LLC. On August 6, 2020, the court imputed the judgement to Magical Beasts and advised the Company that before paying any funds to Ms. Whitley, they must first satisfy the judgement to the Plaintiff. On October 12, 2020, the Company, Ms. Whitley and the Plaintiff reached a settlement agreement whereby the Company agreed that of the $1,000,000 payable to Ms. Whitley, the first $334,000 be paid to the Plaintiff. Ms. Whitley in turn agreed that such payments would be applied to the $1,000,000 owed to Ms. Whitley that was to be paid from the proceeds of the offering and the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw the case against Magical Beasts without prejudice. There will be no impact to the financial statements or financial position of the company related to this matter given the offset of the note payable already recorded.
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 14 - Subsequent Events
Initial Public Offering.
On November 3, 2020, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 933,333 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $8.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $7.50 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 140,000 additional shares of Common Stock and 140,000 Warrants solely to cover over-allotments, if any. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of the additional 140,000 Warrants that were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option at $0.01 per Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $1,400. Net proceeds to the Company after all offering expenses, including legal, accounting and professional fees, registration and other fees and expenses were approximately $5,900,000.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, "JUPW" and the “Company” mean Jupiter Wellness, Inc.
General Overview
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (“Company,” “Jupiter Wellness” “we,” “us,” and “our”) was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2018. Our principal business address is 725 N. Hwy A1A, Suite C-106, Jupiter, FL 33477.
We are a cutting-edge wellness CBD consumer product development company. We are in the early stage of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing a diverse line of consumer products infused with hemp-derived cannabidiol or CBD. We have a proprietary, trademarked line of products: CaniSun, CaniSkin and CaniDermRX. Under the CaniSun brand name, we are marketing three proprietary CBD-infused sun care lotion formulas containing various SPF’s that we have developed using our own intellectual property rights. Under the CaniDermRX brand, we are exploring formulations of CBD with over-the-counter, or OTC, consumer products that have potentially therapeutic and medical applications. Specifically, we are exploring the use of such topical solutions for the treatment of eczema, dermatitis, and actinic keratosis, a non-prescription lotion/lip balm for the treatment of symptoms of cold sores, and a prescription product for the treatment of burns. The CaniDermRX topical solution for the treatment of eczema dermatitis is the lead product candidate and will be initially tested in humans as an investigational cosmetic ingredient followed by clinical trials subject to the regulations of the FDA under an investigational new drug, or IND, application. In parallel, we plan to initiate the development of other products. We are also actively seeking to acquire or license products in the OTC skin care market that can be infused with CBD and marketed under our CaniSkin and CaniDermRX brand names.
There can be no assurances that we will acquire or enter into such partnership or licensing agreements.
The endocannabinoid system, which is a body system affected by CBD, plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy skin through modulating pain sensation, cell proliferation and inflammation. Our strategy for treatment of skin indications is, therefore, to focus on the use of CBD containing topical formulations and to explore potential combinations of CBD and other agents that may augment and act synergistically with CBD. We will explore this strategy by conducting controlled clinical trials to try to ultimately gain FDA approval for specific indications.

CaniSun Brand
We developed a CBD-infused sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF protection. We have completed lab testing for CBD solubility-infusing clear, colorless, odorless, and 99.5% pure CBD isolated with three different sun care active ingredients, homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene, which have already been approved by the FDA. The CBD-infused sun care market is fairly nascent in the United States; we believe that there are currently no major competitors in the category. We see an opportunity to become the leading manufacturer of CBD-infused sun care products, marketing the CaniSun brand through an extensive digital and social media awareness campaign. We announced the launch of our CaniSun sun care line of SPF 30, SPF 50 and SPF 55 face lotion on June 6, 2019. We also sell our CBD-infused lip balm and CBD-infused SPF 30 sunscreen spray on our website Canisun.com.
We currently have additional CaniSun products in various stages of development as follows:
i) | CBD-infused SPF 30 Lip Balm; |
ii) | CBD-infused SPF 15 sunscreen lotion; and |
iii) | Mineral-based sunscreen lotions (SPF 30 and 50). |
All of the products listed above are in the developmental stage, whereby we are finalizing the formula to be used in each product, respectively. For CBD-infused product candidates in development, such as our CBD-infused SPF 30 Lip Balm and CBD-infused SPF 15 sunscreen lotion, we have already identified the sun care active ingredient formula (which has already been FDA approved) to be infused with CBD. Once the respective formulas for each of our products are created, the product candidates will undergo three months of stability testing. Provided that the product candidates pass the stability testing, we intend to sell the products on our CaniSun website. The formula for our mineral-based sunscreen lotion (SPF 30 and 50) (product iii) above) includes certain minerals instead of chemicals typically used in sunscreen lotions.
Overall, we believe that our currently offered sunscreen products comply with the FDA Final Rule for sunscreen products under 21 CFR 352 Sunscreen products for Over-the-Counter Human Use. Therefore, we believe that our sunscreen products fall within the FDA monograph and that premarket approval and testing is not required. Our products have been tested for SPF Evaluation (SPF rating), Critical Wave Length (Broad Spectrum claim) and Water Resistance, each of which is defined within the monograph and labeled accordingly.
All of the test on these products is standard testing for suncare products. Such testing protocols are not intended to test for any effects of adding CBD. In addition to these tests that were conducted to support the claims on the package, each batch is also tested for appearance, color, odor, pH, viscosity, specific gravity, analytical for the sunscreen active ingredients, and microbial content testing.
Our products are tested each time they are manufactured. DCR Labs manufactures our products and has represented to us that it is compliant with the FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practice, or “CGMP”, regulations in accordance with 21 CFR 210/211 required for Over-the-Counter drug products. DCR Labs has self-imposed health and safety standards to ensure compliance with the FDA’s CGMPs.
We expect to continually update and expand upon our corporate website and further refine our online retail strategies on an ongoing basis. CBDBrands.net is our primary corporate website, which will serve as the primary source of information about us for investors and contain press releases, clinical trial pipeline, lab reports, blog posts, and additional information about each of our brands. We anticipate that each brand will have its own front-facing website dedicated to retail sales and brand specific information. For example, our line of sun care products, CaniSun, has its own website at CaniSun.com and allows for online retail purchase of the entire product line. As we expand our brands (CaniSkin and CaniDermRX), we anticipate utilizing the same strategy and dedicating a new e-commerce website to each brand moving forward. We are also building a website dedicated to servicing our wholesale and larger distributor clients. This website will have more information about each product and provide a central location for larger retailers to find more in-depth information about all of our brands in one place. We plan to leverage our websites with a social media presence across multiple platforms designed to utilize product reviews to increase brand loyalty, brand recognition and sales. The references to our website in this prospectus are inactive textual references only. The information on our website is neither incorporated by reference into this prospectus nor intended to be used in connection with this offering. We also see growth potential in developing retail locations. We intend to utilize cross-promotion marketing campaigns with our products and product category expansion that leverages our existing distribution channels. We have built an e-commerce platform designed to connect us directly to consumers. We use the platform to sell products, educate customers and build brand loyalty.

CaniSkin Brand and CaniDermRX Brand
We are currently developing other products such as CBD-infused skin care lotion under the CaniSkin brand. Specifically, a CBD-infused moisturizing face serum is under development. We must first finalize the formula to be used in the face serum, and, once approved, the product candidate will undergo stability testing. We intend to sell the product, provided it first passes stability testing, on our website for CaniSkin products. Additionally, we are developing innovative dermatological treatments under the CaniDermRX brand that are specialized to treat atopic dermatitis and other dermatological conditions such as burns, skin cancer and herpes cold sores, respectively. Subject to obtaining FDA approval, we intend for our experimental-stage product for the treatment of atopic dermatitis to compete with Dupixent, an FDA-approved leading treatment for atopic dermatitis, and for our experimental-stage product for the treatment of herpes cold sores to compete with Silvadene and Abreva, FDA-approved products for treating herpes cold sores. These products require more extensive testing to show with safety and efficacy.
Our first clinical indication is atopic dermatitis (eczema). We have completed manufacturing of formulations containing CBD and aspartame in an FDA-approved CGMP facility and will be initiating clinical trials of an experimental cosmetic ingredient in this indication to determine efficacy. We expect these studies to be completed in 2020 and cost approximately $120,000. We will not make any medicinal or therapeutic claims based on this trial. In parallel, we have initiated development studies to file an investigational new drug (“IND”) application for FDA regulated clinical studies in this indication. We expect the developmental studies to be completed in the third quarter of 2020 and the IND filing to be submitted in the fourth quarter of 2020. We originally anticipated developmental studies to be completed in the first quarter of 2020, however, these studies were delayed due to COVID-19. The cost of the developmental studies are estimated to be approximately $250,000.

Beginning in March 2020, we began selling masks, gloves and hand sanitizer, in order to take advantage of our supply relationships and the demand for such products. While, this is not part of our long-term strategy, we intend to continue to pursue such opportunities in the near term while they present themselves. We have created our own 6- ounce hand sanitizer which our sun care manufacturer produces for us and we sell under our brand.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Property and Equipment.
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Net Loss per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Warrants are not considered in the calculations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.
For the nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2019 | |||||||
Numerator: | ||||||||
Net (loss) | $ | (1,522,462 | ) | $ | (925,462 | ) | ||
Denominator: | ||||||||

Basic (loss) per share | $ | (0.22 | ) | $ | (0.15 | ) | ||
Diluted (loss) per share | $ | (0.22 | ) | $ | (0.15 | ) |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of our assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Stock based compensation
We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
On October 24, 2018, the inception date (“Inception”), we adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
The value of common stock issued or payable from Inception through September 30, 2020 were based upon the last sales price of our common stock to a third party. From January through September 2019, we had multiple sales of common stock at $0.25 per share. From September through the end of 2019, we sold our stock at $1.00 per share. Issuances and grants throughout 2019 were all based upon the last sales price for sales of our stock for cash to third parties. If and when our shares of common stock are publicly listed, we will use the closing share price on a exchange as a basis for valuing our stock grants.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to our financial position. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2019 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $120,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $120,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2019. Because of our lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2019.
Related parties
We follow subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. our affiliates; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. our principal owners; e. our management; f. other parties with which we may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. The adoption of this standard is expected to result in additional financial statement disclosures.
In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases” was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is communicated to management and the Company’s board of directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, it has been concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following material weaknesses exist:
· | We were unable to maintain full segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. While this control deficiency did not result in any material adjustments to our financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties. |
· | Documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete. |
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, as financial resources become available we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, the following:
· | Increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
On August 6, 2020, the Company, Messrs. John and Miller and certain affiliated entities filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against Robert Koch, Bedford Investment Partners, LLC, Kaizen Advisors, LLC and certain other unnamed defendants. The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Koch and the other defendants are attempting to extort the Company and Messrs. John and Miller to issue the defendants shares of the Company’s common stock which they claim are owed to them. The Company asserts that they have no oral or written agreement with Mr. Koch or any of his affiliates that entitle him to shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s complaint seeks actual damages in the amount of $5,000,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $5,000,000. In response, the defendants filed their answer and counterclaim, repeating the same claims that caused the Company to file the lawsuit. On October 6, 2020, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings to dismiss the defendants' counterclaim in its entirety. That motion will be fully briefed on November 27, 2020.
On July 6 , 2020, Brian Menke (the “Plaintiff”) in Nevada court seeking to enforce a judgement that he had obtained in 2012 against Krista Whitley, the former owner and manager of Magical Beasts LLC., in the amount of $250,00. In July 2020, the Plaintiff brought a claim in Nevada State Court to impute such judgement to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Magical Beasts, LLC. On August 6, 2020, the court imputed the judgement to Magical Beasts and advised the Company that before paying any funds to Ms. Whitley, they must first satisfy the judgement to the Plaintiff. On October 12, 2020, the Company, Ms. Whitley and the Plaintiff reached a settlement agreement whereby the Company agreed that of the $1,000,000 payable to Ms. Whitley, the first $334,000 be paid to the Plaintiff. Ms. Whitley in turn agreed that such payments would be applied to the $1,000,000 owed to Ms. Whitley that was to be paid from the proceeds of the offering and the Plaintiff agreed to withdraw the case against Magical Beasts without prejudice. There will be no impact to the financial statements or financial position of the company related to this matter given the offset of the note payable already recorded.
To the best of the Company’s knowledge and belief, no additional legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened.
