NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash includes all cash deposits and highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded allowance for bad debt of $112,017.

Inventory

Inventory consisting of finished products is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded a provision for obsolescence of $70,679.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 (Topic 842). Topic 842 amended several aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize leases with a term greater than one year as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. In July 2018, the FASB issued supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to Topic 842 within ASU 2018-10 “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” The new guidance aims to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. A modified retrospective application is required with an option to not restate comparative periods in the period of adoption.

The Company, effective January 1, 2019 has adopted the provisions of the new standard. The Company decided to use the practical expedients available upon adoption of Topic 842 to aid the transition from current accounting to provisions of Topic 842. The package of expedients will effectively allow the Company to run off existing leases, as initially classified as operating and classify new leases after implementation under the new standard as the business evolves.

The Company has an operating lease principally for warehouse and office space. Management evaluates each lease independently to determine the purpose, necessity to its future operations in addition to other appropriate facts and circumstances.

The Company adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective approach for its existing lease at January 1, 2019. The adoption of Topic 842 impacted the Company’s balance sheet by the recognition of the operating lease right-of-use assets and the liability for operating leases. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using a market based incremental borrowing rate as the effective date of January 1, 2019 using current estimates as to lease term including estimated renewals for each operating lease. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment of approximately $387,000 to operating lease right-to-use asset and the right to use lease liability.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company's product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. 100% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were recognized when

the customer obtained control of the Company’s product, which occurred at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.

Unit-Based Compensation

Unit-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values, in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented. The Company may issue units as compensation in future periods for employee services.

The Company may issue restricted units to consultants for various services. Cost for these transactions will be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is to be measured at the earlier of: (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. The Company may issue units as compensation in future periods for services associated with the registration of the common units.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Applicable GAAP require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the units issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.

Fair Value

The carrying values of the Company’s notes payables, convertible notes, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Unit

The Company computes net loss per unit in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS

excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. 10,676,133 shares underlying convertible notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 because their effect was antidilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company is considered a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, the partners report the partnership's taxable income or loss on their individual tax returns.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flow when implemented.

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $421,590 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $10,199,984 and a working capital deficit of $2,121,202 at March 31, 2020. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the continued financial support from its common unit holders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4: NOTES PAYABLE

On September 6, 2018, the Company issued the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $582,260 (the “A&R Note”).

NOTE 7: PARTNERS’ DEFICIT

Amendment to Partnership Agreement

On January 23, 2020, executed the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”) in order to create a new class of Company securities titled Class A preferred units.

Pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Agreement, Soleil Capital Management LLC, the Company’s general partner (the “General Partner”) may, without the approval of the Company’s limited partners, issue additional Company securities for any Company purpose at any time and from time to time for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall determine in its sole discretion, all without the approval of any limited partners, and that each additional Company interest authorized to be issued by the Company may be issued in one or more classes, or one of more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties as shall be fixed by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Agreement, the General Partner may, without the approval of any partner, any unitholder or any other person, amend any provision of the Agreement to reflect any amendment expressly permitted in the Agreement to be made by the General Partner acting along, therefore including the creation of a new class of Company securities.

The designation, powers, preferences and rights of the Class A preferred units and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are contained in the Second Amendment, and are summarized as follows:

Number and Stated Value. The number of authorized Class A preferred units is 1,000,000. Each Class A preferred unit will have a stated value of $2.00 (the “Stated Value”).

Rights. Except as set forth in the Second Amendment, each Class A preferred unit has all of the rights, preferences and obligations of the Company’s common units as set forth in the Agreement and shall be treated as a common unit for all other purposes of the Agreement.

Dividends.

Rate. Each Class A preferred unit is entitled to receive an annual dividend at a rate of 8% per annum on the Stated Value., which shall accrue on a monthly basis at the rate of 0.6666% per month, non-compounding, and shall be payable in cash within 30 days of each calendar year for which the dividend is payable.

Liquidation. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, a merger or consolidation of the Company wherein the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, each Class A unit will be entitled to receive, prior an in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of common units or any other Company securities ranking junior to the Class A preferred units, or to the General Partner, an amount per Class A preferred unit equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends. If, upon such an event and after the payment of preferential amounts required to be paid to holders of any Company securities having a ranking upon liquidation senior to the Class A preferred units, the assets of the Company available for distribution to the partners of the Company are insufficient to provide for both the payment of the full Class A liquidation preference and the preferential amounts (if any) required to be paid to holders of any other Company securities having a ranking upon liquidation pari passu with the Class A preferred units, such assets as are so available shall be distributed among the Class A preferred units and the holders of any other series of Company securities having a ranking upon liquidation pari passu with the Class A preferred units in proportion to the relative aggregate preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

Conversion Rights.

Conversion. Upon notice, a holder of Class A preferred units has the right, at its option, to convert all or a portion of the Class A preferred units held into fully paid and nonassessable Company common units.

Conversion Price. Each Class A preferred unit is convertible into a number of common units equal to (x) the Stated Value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by (y) the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined). The “Conversion Price” means 85% multiplied by the VWAP (as defined in the Second Amendment), representing a discount rate of 15%.

Conversion Limitation. In no event shall a holder of Class A preferred units be entitled to convert any of the Class A preferred units in excess of that number of Class A preferred units upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of common units beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates (other than common units which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted Class A preferred units or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein), and (2) the number of common units issuable upon the conversion of all Class A preferred units held by such holder would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common units.

Equity Purchase Agreement

On February 19, 2020 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with DiamondRock, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Investor committed to purchase shares of the Company’s common units (the “Put Shares”) at an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000 (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) over the course of the commitment period.

Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the commitment period will commence upon the initial effective date of a Form S-1 Registration Statement planned to be filed to register the Put Shares in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement as further described below and will end on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor has purchased Put Shares from the Company pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) the date on which there is no longer an effective registration statement for the Put Shares, (iii) 24 months after the initial effectiveness of the Registration Statement planned to be filed to register the Put Shares in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement as further described below, or (iv) written notice of termination by the Company to the Investor (which will not occur at any time that the Investor holds any of the Put Shares).

From time to time over the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement, commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the Put Shares (the “Registration Statement”) becomes effective, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide the Investor with a put notice (each a “Put Notice”) to purchase a specified number of the Put Shares (each a “Put Amount Requested”) subject to the limitations discussed below and contained in the Equity Purchase Agreement. Within two (2) trading days of the date that the Put Notice is deemed delivered (“Put Date”) pursuant to terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Investor, the estimated amount of Put Shares equal to the investment amount (“Investment Amount”) indicated in the Put Notice divided by the “Initial Pricing” per share, as such term is defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Estimated Put Shares”) as DWAC Shares. Within two (2) trading days following the Put Date, the Investor shall pay the Investment Amount to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

At the end of the five (5) trading days following the clearing date associated with the applicable Put Notice (“Valuation Period”), the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be computed as 85% of the average daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common units during the Valuation Period and the number of Put Shares shall be determined for a particular put as the Investment Amount divided by the Purchase Price. If the number of Estimated Put Shares (Investment Amount divided by Initial Pricing) initially delivered to the Investor is greater than the number of Put Shares (Investment Amount divided by Purchase Price) purchased by the Investor pursuant to such Put, then, within two (2) trading days following the end of the Valuation Period, the Investor shall deliver to the Company any excess Estimated Put Shares associated with such put. If the number of Estimated Put Shares (Investment Amount divided by Initial Pricing) delivered to the Investor is less than the Put Shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to a put, then within two (2) trading days following the end of the Valuation Period the Company shall deliver to the Investor by wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to the difference between the Estimated Put Shares and the Put Shares issuable pursuant to such put.

The Put Amount Requested pursuant to any single Put Notice must have an aggregate value of at least $25,000, and cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000, or (ii) 150% of the average daily trading value of the common units in the five trading days immediately preceding the Put Notice.

In order to deliver a Put Notice, certain conditions set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement must be met, as provided therein. In addition, the Company is prohibited from delivering a Put Notice if: (i) the sale of Put Shares pursuant to such Put Notice would cause the Company to issue and sell to the Investor, or the Investor to acquire or purchase, a number of shares of the Company’s common units that, when aggregated with all shares of common units purchased by the Investor pursuant to all prior Put Notices issued under the Equity Purchase Agreement, would exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount; or (ii) the issuance of the Put Shares would cause the Company to issue and sell to Investor, or the Investor to acquire or purchase, an aggregate number of shares of common units that would result in the Investor beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common units (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

If the value of the Put Shares based on the Purchase Price determined for a particular put would cause the Company to exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount, then within two (2) trading days following the end of the Valuation Period the Investor shall return to the Company the surplus amount of Put Shares associated with such put. If the number of the Put Shares (Investment Amount divided by Purchase Price) determined for a particular put exceeds the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then within two (2) trading days following the end of the Valuation Period the Investor shall return to the Company the surplus amount of Put Shares associated with such put. Concurrently, the Company shall return within two (2) trading days following the end of the respective Valuation Period to the Investor, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the portion of the Investment Amount related to the portion of Put Shares exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Further pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed that if the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declares the Registration Statement for the Put Shares effective, then during the 12 month period immediately following the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement for the Put Shares effective, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of common units or common units equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Investor shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing (that is not an “Exempt Issuance” as such term is defined in the Equity Purchase Agreement), equal to 50% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in such Subsequent Financing; provided, however, where (i) the person or persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected will not agree to such participation by the Investor and (ii) the Investor will not agree to

finance the total amount of such Subsequent Financing in lieu of the person or persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, the Investor shall have no right to participate in such Subsequent Financing.

Further pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to reserve a sufficient number of shares of its common units for the Investor pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement and all other contracts between the Company and the Investor.

The Equity Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions for a transaction of this type for the benefit of the parties.

Registration Rights Agreement

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Agreement

In October 2019, the Company entered into a 5-year lease of approximately 9,819 square feet of warehouse store and office space with an entity of which the Company’s chief executive officer is an owner. The lease requires base monthly rent of $11,100. The Company has annual options to extend for one-year, during which period rent will increase 3% annually. Future minimum payment on the lease are as follows:

Total	$621,600

At inception of the lease, the Company recorded a right to use asset and obligation of $299,500, equal to the present value of remaining payments of minimum required lease payments.

The Company amortized $18,534 of the right to use asset during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $$43,766 and $28,051, respectively.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The spread of COVID-19 has affected segments of the global economy and may affect our operations, including the potential interruption of our supply chain. We are monitoring this situation closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain.

The spread of COVID-19, or another infectious disease, could also negatively affect the operations at our third-party manufacturers, which could result in delays or disruptions in the supply of our products. In addition, we may take temporary precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, including temporarily requiring all employees to work remotely, suspending all non-essential travel worldwide for our employees, and discouraging employee attendance at industry events and in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect our business.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations, including among others, our manufacturing and supply chain, sales and marketing and could have an adverse impact on our business and our financial results. The COVID-19 outbreak is a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and likely impact our operating results.

The Company plans to pursue equity funding to expand its brand. Through equity funding and the current operations, including the acquisition of the Vapor line of business, the Company expects to meet its current capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able raise sufficient working capital. If the Company is unable to raise the necessary working capital through the equity funding it will be forced to continue relying on cash from operations in order to satisfy its current working capital needs.

Legal Matters

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. There are no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations and there are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Revenues

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $598,633 and $1,318,049, respectively. The decrease was a result of decreased sales due to EVALI (“e-cigarette or vaping use-associated lung injury”), which affected the industry as a whole and hampered the Company’s sales significantly. Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of February 15, 2020, the number of EVALI cases has diminished substantially. Management expects that sales will increase in future quarters as the number of EVALI cases continues to fall.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $386,128 and $779,027, respectively. The decrease is a result of the decreased sales during the current year. Gross margin decreased from 41% to 35% due to pricing pressures from the decreased demand related to the industry crisis.

Operating Expense

Operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $476,824 as compared to $564,605 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in operating expense is primarily due cost cutting measures implemented to offset decreased demand.

Other Expense)

Other expense increased to $157,271 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $113,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to increased borrowings.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $421,590 compared to a net loss of $138,684 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company used cash in operating activities of $21,386 for three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $705,866 used in three months ended March 31, 2019. The decreased use of cash is primarily the result of decreased inventory and accounts receivable levels, as well as increased accounts payable, which have more than offset the increased loss in 2020 compared to 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company received $290,001 from the issuance of notes payable to related parties, and repaid $286,763 of principal on notes payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company received $1,000,000 of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, received $100,000 of proceeds from related parties, and repaid $289,129 of principal on notes payable.

Assets

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total assets of $948,385 and $1,272,163, respectively. Assets primarily consist of the cash accounts held by the Company, inventory, vendor deposits, accounts receivable and a right-to-use asset. In 2020 the Company’s inventory was decreased by approximately $149,502 as a result of fewer purchases for new products, accounts receivable decreased by approximately $100,382 from decreased sales, vendor deposits decreased by $37,212, and we recorded a right-to-use asset of $362,743 as a result of implementing new lease accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019.

Liabilities

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total liabilities of $3,048,165 and $2,950,353, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of convertible debt and notes payable in 2020, the right to use obligation of $371,901, offset by the repayment of existing notes payable and decrease in accounts payable.

The Company plans to pursue equity funding to expand its brand. Through equity funding and the current operations, the Company expects to meet its current capital needs. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us, or that, if available, it will be on terms satisfactory to us. Any additional financing may involve dilution to our shareholders. In the alternative, additional funds may be provided from cash flow in excess of that needed to finance our day-to-day operations, although we may never generate this excess cash flow. If we do not raise additional capital or generate additional funds, our operations may be materially adversely affected and implementation of our plans for expansion will be delayed. If necessary, we may withdraw from certain growth strategies to conserve cash for continued operations.

COVID-19

precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, including temporarily requiring all employees to work remotely, suspending all non-essential travel worldwide for our employees, and discouraging employee attendance at industry events and in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect our business.

Going Concern

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, some of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The methods, estimates, interpretations and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies can have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements.

The following discussion provides supplemental information regarding the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions made in implementing the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

Cash

Cash includes all cash deposits and highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company analyzes the collectability of accounts receivable from continuing operations each accounting period and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of accounts receivables, including the creditworthiness of each customer, current and historical collection history and the related aging of past due balances. The Company evaluates specific accounts when it becomes aware of information indicating that a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded allowance for bad debt of $112,017.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of Mr. Frija, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based on such review and evaluation, Mr. Frija, in his capacity as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to insufficient personnel to properly prepare, implement and monitor adequate controls and procedures.

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings against us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial conditions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There has been no material change in our risk factors from those previously discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
