Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 and 2020
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Kisses From Italy Inc.
(the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual
food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory
sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional
restaurants, which are located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following
ten months. All locations, which are in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated
one of its restaurants due to a hurricane and has not re-opened that location. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company
consolidated its two Wyndham stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in
Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. Such location will serve as the distribution center for products for European locations.
The Bari location was closed in the fourth quarter of 2020 and currently remains closed as of the date of this Report due to Covid-19
On May 28, 2021 the Company opened its first franchise in Chino, California.
Due to the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees so that the franchisee could well establish the operations
at that location.
The Company’s accounting year-end is December
31.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a
negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and
many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic
are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may
have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent
of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.
All of the Company’s three corporate-owned
restaurants which are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Bari, Italy, and within the Wyndham location in Pompano Beach, Florida, have
fully re-opened subject to recommended social distancing guidelines. The Company’s hotel locations were closed longer than other
sites due to CDC recommendations.
Except for our Bari location, our US locations
are now open and are operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels. There can be no assurances that we will be allowed to remain open at
full capacity or that we can maintain current sales levels.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Management’s Representation of Interim
Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations,
and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial
statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position
and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements at and as of December 31, 2020, filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on April 15, 2021.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently,
revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses from Italy 9th LLC, Kisses from Italy-Franchising
LLC, and Kisses from Italy Bari, Italy and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.
All intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements.
On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception.
Because the Company does not expect that existing
operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative
sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements of equity and convertible debt as interim
measures to finance working capital needs and may continue its efforts to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or
other securities and obtain short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to do so until its consolidated operations become
profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its common stock to maximize working capital, and intends
to continue this practice where feasible.
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 liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful
accounts, inventories, purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial
instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements.
The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value
of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate
of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts
on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance
when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past
due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.
As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, our
trade receivable amounted to $10,546 and $5,761, respectively, with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- for both periods.
Other Receivable
Other receivables are comprised of two components,
a receivable from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”) and Value Added Tax at the Company’s Bari location
in Italy.
The purpose of
the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the
effects of the coronavirus outbreak.The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000
for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained from March 13, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee
from Jan. 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The Company qualifies as an employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the
Company’s gross receipts fell below 50% for the same quarter in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of June 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had ERC credits receivable of $60,008 and $-0- respectively.
Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”),
applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the
VAT tax ranges between 4 and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had a VAT net receivable
from its Bari location amounting to $4,839.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s
Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur
in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari
location.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated
into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign
currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s
operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates.
Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical
rate when the transaction occurred.
For the eight month period ended June 30, 2021 when the Company began the branded retail products operations
initiative in Canada, the difference in the exchange rate and the average monthly rate did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines
of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represent franchise revenue; and food and beverage
product sold which is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue is recognized using the five
step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606.
Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents third-party
ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our
majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s
interest shown as non-controlling interest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
Company cash equivalents totaled $85,832 and $37,336, respectively.
Property and equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line
method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any
resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Estimated useful lives of property
|
|
Computers, software, and office equipment
|
1 – 6 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
3 – 5 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life
|
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under
FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a
recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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.
The amount recognized is measured as the largest
amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity
of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might
cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
On Dec. 18, 2019,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, which affects general principles within
Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB
has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards
by improving certain areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) without compromising information provided to users of financial
statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
using the fair method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure
about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually
the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Leases
The Company currently follows the guidance in
ASC 840 “Leases,” which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements the Company enters into to determine whether they
represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets
and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended
guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new
lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the
new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same
effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard On November 15, 2019, the FASB has issued ASU 2019-10, which amends
the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives,
and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and has a calendar-year end companies
the Company eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to December 15, 2021.
ASC 842 will be effective for the Company beginning
on December 15, 2021. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have have an impact on our financial statements.
Canadian Government and Provincial Sales Tax (“G.S.T.”
and “P.S.T.”)
The Company does not collect any Canadian G.S.T.
(Government Sales Tax) and P.S.T. (Provincial Sales Tax) as the Company acts as product distributor and not as a final sales retailer.
Inventory
The inventory is comprised of alcoholic beverages
at our new Bari location in Italy which opened in 2019 and inventory for retail sales held in Canada. Our US locations do not have liquor
licenses. The balance of inventory on June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $8,288 and $4,051, respectively.
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are
determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets
and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended
guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption
permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new
lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the
new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same
effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB has issued ASU 2019-10, which amends
the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and leases
standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and has a calendar-year end companies the
Company eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to December 15, 2021.
While we continue to evaluate the impact of the
new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As of June 30, 2021 the Company had cash on hand
of $85,832 a working capital deficiency of $24,554 and an accumulated deficit of $12,544,069.
.Management has concluded that these financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business.
It is the Company’s current intention to
raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. The Company believes it will be successful in raising sufficient
capital to operate for the next 12 months, however, there is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to
the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could
cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any
failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the
possible inability to continue operations.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the
Company had $6,847 and $8,480 in property and equipment, all located at its Bari location in Italy. As of March 31, 2021 all property
and equipment and leaseholds at its US locations had been fully depreciated.
NOTE 5 – ACCRUED AND OTHER LIABILITIES

as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Series B Stock
The Series B Stock is convertible at any time
by the holder into the number of shares of common stock of the Company based on two times the price paid by the holder paid for the shares.
The Board has the authorization to establish a minimum price for the price the Series B Stock (so that if the market price of the common
stock of the Company drops below the issuance price, the conversion rate will then be based on the minimum price established by the Board
and not the price paid for the shares). The holders of the Series B Stock shall not be entitled to voting rights except as otherwise provided
for in the law. The holders of Series B Stock are not entitled to dividends until and unless determined by the Board.
Liquidation Preference

except as otherwise provided for in the law. The holders of Series C Stock are not entitled to dividends until and unless determined by
the Board.
Liquidation Preference
Upon any liquidation of the Company, the holders
of Series C Stock shall be entitled to the amount paid for the shares of Series C Stock prior to the holders of shares ranking junior
