Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited financial information included in this report includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

At September 30, 2022, the Company had current liabilities in excess of current assets in the amount of approximately $8.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed a series of debt and equity financings and an initial public offering (the “IPO”) resulting in net proceeds of approximately $12.8 million, but sustained a net loss of approximately $21.9 million and had consumed cash in operating activities of approximately $7.5 million during the period.

To date, the Company has satisfied its capital needs with the net proceeds from its IPO, issuance of notes payable and bank debt. Company management expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next 12 months.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. Management believes that there is substantial doubt that current available resources will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that with additional debt or equity issuances of approximately $3.1 million, it will have the ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, among other items, assessing the collectability of receivables, useful lives and recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, assumptions used in the valuation of derivatives, and accruals for commitments and contingencies. Some of these estimates can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no cash equivalents.

(UNAUDITED)

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate for uncollectible receivables based on a review of specific accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an ongoing review of collectability, as well as management’s past experience with the customers. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $10,865 and $17,170 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. An allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided for slow moving or obsolete inventory to write down historical cost to net realizable value.

The allowance for obsolescence is an estimate established through charges to cost of goods sold. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based upon several factors which include, but are not limited to, analysis of slow-moving inventory, analysis of the selling price of inventory, the predetermined shelf life of the product, and management’s judgment with respect to current economic conditions. Given the nature of the inventory, it is reasonably possible the Company’s estimate of the allowance for obsolescence will change in the near term.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are charged to the asset accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization over the estimated useful lives of various assets using the straight-line method ranging from 3-5 years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. In addition to the annual impairment review, impairment reviews are performed whenever circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit assets to the carrying amount, on at least an annual basis, to determine if there is potential impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit assets is less than their carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized. No goodwill impairments were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, license agreements, goodwill, and intellectual property acquired in the acquisitions of BSNM, DSO, Nexus, GSP and Ceautamed. The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which ranges from 3 to 15 years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) is less than its carrying amount. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. The Company had no impairment of long-lived assets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities

The Company records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified either as finance or operating with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition.

SMART FOR LIFE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

(UNAUDITED)

Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and are discounted using the most reasonable incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the implicit rate when it is readily determinable. Since the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement. Leases with a term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight- line basis over the lease term.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with freestanding derivative instruments such as convertible promissory notes, on their issuance date to determine whether they would be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

For option based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt issued before the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital).

When the Company records a BCF which is not a conventional convertible, the fair value of the BCF is recorded as a derivative liability with an offset against the face amount of the respective debt instrument which is and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

Debt Issuance Cost

In accordance with ASC 835-30, “Other Presentation Matters,” the Company has reported debt issuance cost as a deduction from the carrying amount of debt and amortizes these costs using the effective interest method over the term of the debt as interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluates and recognize revenue by:

Products (BSNM, DSO, GSP and Ceautamed)

The Company generates product revenues by manufacturing and packaging of nutraceutical products as a contract manufacturer for its customers. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Advertising/Marketing (Nexus)

Nexus generates advertising revenue when sales of listed products are sold by product vendors through its network as a result of the marketing efforts of digital marketers. The products on the network come from several different customers, which pay Nexus a specific amount per sale, the amount of which is dictated by the customer. The revenue is recognized upon the sale of a product by the customer, net of fraudulent traffic or disputed transactions. A portion of the specific amount received by Nexus for that sale is paid out to the digital marketer as a commission, which is recorded in cost of sales.

Nexus’ general payment terms are short-term in duration. Nexus does not have significant financing components or payment terms. Nexus did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Freight

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, freight costs amounted to $754,909 and $181,782, respectively, and have been recorded in cost of revenues, products in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $1,618,467, and have been recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Company records Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan proceeds in accordance with ASC 470, “Debt.” Debt is extinguished when either the debtor pays the creditor or the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor, either judicially or by the creditor.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for stock options and warrants granted over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair market value of the stock options. The Company calculates the amount of tax benefit available by tracking each stock option award on an employee-by-employee basis and on a grant-by-grant basis. The Company then compares the recorded expense to the tax deduction received for each stock option grant.

(UNAUDITED)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing.

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Recent Accounting Standard Issued Not Yet Adopted

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in GAAP. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. The Company believes that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into securities purchase agreement, which was amended on July 29, 2022, to acquire Ceautamed. On July 29, 2022, the acquisition was completed.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, as amended, the Company acquired Ceautamed for an aggregate purchase price of $8,600,000 (subject to adjustments). The purchase price consists of (i) $3,000,000 in cash, of which $1,000,000 was previously paid by the Company and $2,000,000 was paid at closing, (ii) secured subordinated convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,150,000; (iii) secured subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,150,000 and (iv) secured subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000.

Note 7 — Lease Commitments

The Company enters into lessee arrangements consisting of operating leases for its operations. The Company had four operating leases as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Discount Rate Applied to Property Operating Lease

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for its operating lease at January 1, 2020, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate”).

The lease assets and liabilities were calculated utilizing a discount rate of 12%, according to the Company’s elected policy.

Minimum lease payments under the operating lease are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $471,566 and $303,195, respectively, reflected in general and administrative in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurement

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

SMART FOR LIFE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

(UNAUDITED)

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using terms in the notes that are subject to volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The derivative liability as of September 30, 2022 in the amount of $94,255 is related to conversion feature on the outstanding convertible notes not converted by the noteholders as of September 30, 2022.

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. Generally, as the stock price decreases for each of the related convertible notes that have an embedded derivative liability, the value of the derivative liability decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s convertible notes with an embedded derivative liability.

The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $94,255 and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each period, and record the change of fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the period ended September 30, 2022:

As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the debentures was $2,250,000 and debt issuance cost was $26,174.

At any time after August 14, 2022, the sixth month anniversary of the IPO Date, the holders may convert the principal amount of the debentures into shares of common stock at a conversion price that is equal to the lower of $2.50 and the lowest volume weighted average price during the 10 trading days immediately following the IPO; provided further, that the conversion price shall not be less than $1.00. The conversion price is subject to standard equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations, and similar transactions. The debentures contain beneficial ownership limitations which limit the holders’ beneficial ownership to 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company may redeem some or all of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures for cash in an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the debentures.
