2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for
complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of
December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent
registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial
statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a broader discussion
of our business and the risks inherent in such business. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31,
2022.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP,
BLU3, SSI and LBI. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Only
highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated
at cost, which approximates market value.
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per EIN. At September 30, 2022
and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $27,405 and $205,500, respectively in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Foreign
Currency Forward Contracts
We
use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies, manage exchange rate
volatility in the translation of foreign earnings, and reduce exposures to foreign currency fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2022 the Company closed out it’s only forward contract and has no further
obligation relating to such.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful
accounts is estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $46,555
and $46,555 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Revenue
Recognition
We
account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
and all the related amendments. This standards core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods
or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to receive.
We
recognize the sale of products under single performance obligations upon shipment of the products as that is when ownership is transferred
and our performance is completed. Revenues from repair and maintenance activities is recognized when the repairs are completed and the
products have been shipped.
Lease
Accounting
We
account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. The lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance
sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations.
We
categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those
leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance
leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance
leases as of September 30, 2022. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for
property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component
and account for them as a lease.
Lease
liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings
available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives,
plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used
in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease
term.
When
we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease for the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and
it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement
of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the
term of the lease.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, lease expenses were approximately $76,300 and $205,000, respectively, and approximately
$39,000 and $108,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Cash paid for operating liabilities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $204,500 and approximately $98,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year lease extension for the SSI lease in Huntington Beach,
CA. This extension increased the operating asset and liability by approximately $897,300.
Supplemental
balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

Stock-Based
Compensation
We
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies
to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options,
based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee and non-employee
are required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
Derivatives
The
accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record certain warrants and embedded conversion options
at their fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change
in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification
changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
As a result of entering into certain note agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor,
the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, by earliest issuance date, in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments
may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees
or directors, as long as the certain variable issuance terms in certain convertible instruments exist.
Loss
per common share
Basic
earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed
using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent
shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. At September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, 249,177,870 and
245,297,740, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares
reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible notes, outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and the conversion of preferred
stock.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
ASU
2016-13 Current Expected Credit Loss (ASC326)
In
December 2021, the FASB issued and update to ASU No. 2016-13 the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard (ASC 326), which is
designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by incorporating estimated, forward-looking data when
measuring lifetime Estimated Credit Losses (ECL) and requires enhanced financial statement disclosures. This guidance is effective
January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the changes from this standard to determine the impact on its consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU
2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own
Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging
- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s
Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP.
Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded
conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative
scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income
per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim
periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of
the standard on the consolidated financial statements.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until
a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption or are not applicable.
ASU
2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740)
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU
2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain
exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application.
This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with
early adoption permitted. The Company determined that the standard has no impact on its consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
Note
3. Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month
period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the
Company incurred a net loss of $1,056,944
of which $894,453
is non-cash stock related compensation and shares issued for service. At September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $15,601,548.
Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $1,983,868
at September 30, 2022, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s
ability to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its
operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.
Note

On
September 30, 2022, the Company issued a convertible demand 8%
promissory note in the principal amount of $66,793

interest is payable in shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the 90 day value weighted average price
(“VWAP”) of the Company’s stock prior to the quarterly interest payment date. The note holder may demand payment
or convert the outstanding principal at a conversion rate of $.021
per share at any time. The conversion rate was calculated at a 35%
discount to the 90 day VWAP of the Company’s stock as of the date of the note. The Company recorded $19,250
for the beneficial conversion feature. As this conversion rate is a fixed rate, the embedded conversion feature is not a derivative
liability.

the NYSE American or Nasdaq, and has a rolling 30-day average trading volume of 50,000 shares per day; provided, however, that
(i) only up to 5% of the previous days total volume can be sold in one day and (ii) only through executing trades “On the Offer.”
The
transaction costs associated with the merger were $65,000 in legal fees paid in $40,000 in cash, and 1,190,476 shares of the Company’s
common stock with a fair value of $55,952.

The
value of the stock was calculated based on the VWAP of a share of the Company’s common
stock on the OTC Markets for (i) 180 days prior to the date of the parties’ execution and delivery of the binding term sheet for
the merger or (ii) 180 days prior to the closing date of the merger, whichever results in a lower VWAP which resulted in a conversion
price of $0.051271831 and the issuance of 27,305,442 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1,449,919 on the closing date.
Inventory
was assessed at the time of closing as to its fair value, and it was determined that a step-up analysis was necessary in order to evaluate
the fair value of the inventory at the time of closing. The step up represents the net profit that would be attained when the inventory
is sold. The key assumptions used in this analysis is a gross margin of 38.3% and selling costs of 5.0%, The analysis resulted in a necessary
step up of $31,000 at the time of closing.
Goodwill
represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.
The goodwill arising from the acquisition is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers.
The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
As
of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an estimated fair value of the intangible assets and goodwill of $992,986 based on a preliminary
purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be
up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the
corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or
liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments
were determined.

April 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement with Robert Carmichael (the “Carmichael Option

purchase 50,000,000 shares of common stock is subject to vesting upon official notice of the listing of the Company’s common stock
on The Nasdaq Stock Market, the NYSE American LLC or similar stock exchange. The Net Revenue Portion of the Option shall vest as follows:
● |
the
right to purchase 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock shall vest at such time as the Company reports cumulative
consolidated net revenues, including revenues from related parties and revenues recognized by the Company arising out of any subsequent
acquisitions, mergers, or other business combinations following the closing date of such transaction (the collectively, “Net
Revenues”), in excess of $3,500,000 in the aggregate over four consecutive fiscal quarters commencing May 1, 2020 and ending
on April 30, 2023 (the “Net Revenue Period”); |
● |
the
