Certain statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and financial performance based on certain assumptions. They include opinions, forecasts, intentions, plans, goals, projections, guidance, expectations, beliefs or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential,” “continue,” or “projects,” or the negative or other variation of such words, and similar expressions may identify a statement as a forward-looking statement. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and the development of our products, are forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public can read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.

JUPITER WELLNESS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2020
and Year Ended December 31, 2020
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 cutting-edge developer of cannabidiol (CBD) based medical therapeutics and wellness products. The Company’s clinical pipeline of prescription CBD-enhanced skin care therapeutics addresses indications including eczema, burns, herpes cold sores, and skin cancer. We are in the early stage of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing a diverse line of consumer products infused with CBD.
Going Concern Consideration
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,429,668 and $7,274,401 and cash flow used in operations of $5,017,173 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $2,732,736 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. These conditions have raised doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as noted by our auditors, M&K CPAS, PLLC. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of shares (the “Company Offering Shares”) of common stock, par value $ per share and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 11,607,142 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance with an exercise price of $2.79 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and Offering expenses, were $28,318,314. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $26,853,307 in cash and working capital of $27,310,095. As a result, Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to execute its business plan and the need for a going concern opinion has been alleviated.
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, Magical Beasts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong private limited 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.
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, 2021.
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.
F-6 |
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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or through a 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 products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
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

Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $917,714 and $98,619 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
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.
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.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $936,311 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $936,311. 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, 2020.

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.
F-8 |
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.

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.

On October 6, 2020, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings to dismiss the defendants’ counterclaim in its entirety. On April 24, 2021, the Company’s motion was granted and all counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice, except the breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment claims.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.
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 1061 E. Indiantown Rd #110, Jupiter, FL 33477.
Jupiter Wellness, Inc. is a cutting-edge developer of cannabidiol (CBD) based medical therapeutics and wellness products. The Company’s clinical pipeline of prescription CBD-enhanced skin care therapeutics address indications including eczema, burns, herpes cold sores, and skin cancer. We are in the early stage of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing a diverse line of consumer products infused with CBD. We have a proprietary, line of products: CaniSun, CaniSkin and CaniDermRX. Under the CaniSun brand, we are marketing patent pending CBD-infused sun care lotion formulas containing various sun protection factors, or SPFs. In addition, we are exploring the use of CBD with other prescription and/or 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 (JW-100), and actinic keratosis (JW-100), a non-prescription lotion/lip balm (JW-200) for the treatment of symptoms of cold sores, and a prescription product for the treatment of burns (JW-101). The CaniDermRX (JW-100) topical solution for the treatment of eczema dermatitis is the lead product candidate and will be further tested in humans as an investigational cosmetic ingredient followed by clinical trials subject to the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under an investigational new drug, or IND, application. In February 2021, we announced the results of our novel Cannabidiol-Aspartame combination treatment JW-100 clinical trial which has shown it significantly Reduces ISGA Score in Eczema patients. A double blinded placebo controlled interventional study was conducted. Subjects were assigned to apply, at home, one of three treatments: JW-100 (a CBD and aspartame combination topical formulation), a CBD only topical formulation, or a placebo topical formulation. After 14 days, the average reduction in the Investigators Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score was calculated for each group. Additionally, the proportion of subjects achieving (ISGA) score 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least 2 grade improvement from baseline was recorded for each arm of the study. 50% of subjects in the JW-100 arm achieved ISGA clear or almost clear (1 or 2) with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline after treatment versus 20% and 15% in the CBD-only and placebo arms, respectively. The percentage of subjects achieving clear or almost clear with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline was found to be statistically significant (p=0.028). JW-100, a novel topical formulation containing CBD and aspartame, was shown to significantly reduce ISGA score in atopic dermatitis patients after two weeks of use. The combination of CBD and aspartame was more effective at reducing ISGA scores than CBD alone.

In parallel, we plan to initiate the development of other products. We originally anticipated developmental studies to be completed in 2020, however, these studies were delayed due to COVID-19. 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.
On November 30, 2020, the Company acquired SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China limited company (“SRM”). SRM has relationships with and supplies the amusement park industry with exclusive products that are often only available to consumers inside the relevant amusement park, entertainment venues and theme hotels in Orlando Florida, Beijing China, Japan and other places throughout the worldwide theme park industry.
CaniSun Brand
Under our CaniSun Brand, we developed a patent pending 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 isolate 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 55 and SPF 50 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, Peppermint and Acai Fragrance | |
ii) | CBD-infused SPF 15 sunscreen daily 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 product candidates 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 FDA 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 testing 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. JupiterWellness.com 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 product for treating 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 both safety and efficacy.
In addition, we plan to seek acquisition opportunities in the branded consumer products space, including but not limited to other OTC therapeutic brands and skin care brands that can be developed, manufactured, marketed and distributed under our CaniSkin and CaniDermRX brand names.
We filed a provisional patent number 62/884,955 on 08/09/2019 on an Aspartame/CBD combination and intend to develop products containing a combination of CBD and Aspartame under the CaniDermRX name for the treatment of pain and inflammation. On February 11, 2021, the US Patent Published our US Patent Application 20210038513 and on April 5, 2021 we filed the International filing through PCT Application PCT/US 2020/045408. We believe that our CaniDermRX product candidates have the potential to treat many skin indications such as atopic dermatitis, pruritis-itch, non-atopic dermatitis/eczema, psoriasis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, seborrheic dermatitis, actinic keratosis, epidermolysis bullosa and cutaneous neoplasias. Aspartame is a rigorously tested food ingredient. Reviews by major governmental regulatory bodies have previously found the ingredient safe for consumption at higher levels than we contemplate using in our CaniDermRX product candidates. We believe that our formulations that include Aspartame, such as topical crème, lip balm, powder and dog treats, are well-tolerated by, and safe for, users. We believe that infusing CBD in our products may help alleviate irritation that may be caused by applying sun care products and may lead to reduced inflammation. In human skin, receptors of the endocannabinoid system are found in differentiated keratinocytes, hair follicle cells, sebaceous glands, immune cells, and sensory neurons. Activation of cannabinoid receptor type 2, or CB2, for which CBD is a ligand receptor in these cells has been shown to reduce pain and itch sensation, regulate keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation, decrease hair follicle growth, and modulate the release of damage-induced keratins and inflammatory mediators to control the homeostasis of the skin environment.

Recent Developments
In July 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 11,066,258 shares (the “Company Offering Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and warrants (the “Company Warrants”) to purchase up to 11,607,142 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance with an exercise price of $2.79 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and Offering expenses, were $28,318,314, which includes net proceeds from partial exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase 1,741,071 Company Warrants, representing 15% of the Company Warrants sold in the base offering.
On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sponsor Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corporation (“JWAC”) a SPAC, dedicated to investing in AI based therapeutics and diagnostics with an initial funding target of $100M. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had loaned $293,300 to Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC (“JWSL”), an affiliate, which in turn loaned the funds to JWAC. If the offering is successful, JWSL is obligated to purchase 425,000 Units ($4,250,000) in connection with the Offering. The Company’s portion of the obligation would be $2,050,000. In October 2021, the Company amended Brian John’s employment agreement and title to also make him the Chief Investment Officer of Jupiter Wellness, Inc., Jupiter Wellness Investment Corp. and Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.. Pursuant to the amendment, he is entitled to twenty percent (20%) of the net profits realized from any investments made by Mr. John.
Going Concern Consideration
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,429,668 and $7,274,401 and cash flow used in operations of $5,017,173 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $2,732,736 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. These conditions have raised doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as noted by our Auditors, M&K CPAS, PLLC. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 11,066,258 shares (the “Company Offering Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 11,607,142 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance with an exercise price of $2.79 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and Offering expenses, were $28,318,314. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $26,853,307 in cash and working capital of $27,310,095. As a result, Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to execute its business plan and the need for a going concern opinion has been alleviated.
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, Magical Beasts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong private limited company, and Jupiter Wellness Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
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, 2021 and 2020 audited financial statements, 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.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in United States Dollars. Significant accounting policies are summarized below:
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, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Net Loss per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).
The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
● | identify the contract with a customer; | |
● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
● | determine the transaction price; | |
● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and | |
● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on an FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
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 December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an allowance of $118,761 against accounts receivable acquired in connection with the acquisition of SRM Entertainment and as of September 30, 2021, the Company had recognized no additional allowance for doubtful collections.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were not material.
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.
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.
7 |
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, 2020 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $936,311 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $936,311. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $917,714 and $98,619 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
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.
8 |
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 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 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
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the past nine months and previous fiscal year, we implemented significant measures to remediate the previously disclosed ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which included an insufficient degree of segregation of duties amongst our accounting and financial reporting personnel, and the lack of a formalized and complete set of policy and procedure documentation evidencing our system of internal controls over financial reporting. The remediation measures consisted of the hiring of individuals with appropriate experience in internal controls over financial reporting, and the modification of our accounting processes and enhancement to our financial controls, including the testing of such controls.
Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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. On April 24, 2021, the Company’s motion was granted and all counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice, except the breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment claims. On June 04, 2021, the defendants filed a Second Amended Counterclaim pursuant to which on June 25, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss defendants’ Second Amended Counterclaim, which again asserted one breach-of-contract and one unjust enrichment counterclaim. Defendants have not yet opposed the motion.
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.
On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Omnibus Amendment to: (1) the Confidential Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated February 21, 2020; (2) the Sales Distributor Agreement, dated February 21, 2020; and (3) the Executive Employment Agreement, dated March 31, 2020 (the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the Omnibus Amendment, the parties (i) acknowledge that the Company has fully satisfied its obligation of $334,000 to the Plaintiff as Ms. Whitley’s judgment creditors; (ii) agree that in satisfaction of the remaining balance due to Ms. Whitley under the Agreements, she is to be paid $150,000 in cash; (iii)agree that starting April 1, 2020, shall be entitled to individually market and sell the Bella line of products remaining in the Company’s inventory, as identified in the Omnibus Amendment, and the Company will relinquish its rights to the Bella brand; (iv) agree that the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the common stock purchase options granted to Ms. Whitley under the Agreements shall be reduced from 250,000 to 185,000, Ms. Whitely may utilize a cashless exercise feature to exercise such options, subject to a six (6) month holding period on the shares, and Ms. Whitley shall not be permitted to sell an amount of shares in any week which exceeds 10% of the Company’s total weekly trading volume in the prior week; (v) agree that Ms. Whitley’s Employment Agreement shall terminate on March 31, 2021 and shall not renew; and (vi) acknowledge that Ms. Whitley has been paid $5,541 for unreimbursed expenses on or about December 30, 2020; and (vii) the balance of the note due Whitley be forgiven.
As a result of the above the Company recognized a gain of $669,200 comprised of the forgiveness of debt of $691,500 and the write-off of the unamortized portion of Whitley’s the non-compete agreement of $22,300.
