ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Better For You Wellness, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was originally incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020. We are a sustainable brands and services company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. We are building and evaluating opportunities targeting six goals-based wellness categories within the rapidly growing wellness industry to create a leading global wellness conglomerate.
The Company’s head office is located at 1349 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43205.
Business Overview
The Company’s dual buy-and-build model comprises building brands and companies organically as well as exploring and evaluating various opportunities in the plant-based and science-focused food and beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors, including but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, or business combination transactions.
Through our dual buy and build business model, we evaluate the wellness industry in the following six goals-based categories:
●
Better Health
●
Better Fitness
●
Better Nutrition
●
Better Appearance
●
Better Sleep
●
Better Mindfulness
Our strategy is designed to offer wellness consumers a diverse synergistic portfolio of brands and products that will allow them to live a life of intention and improve their quality of life.
We believe wellness consumers purchase with intention and seek out the brands and products that improve their quality of life. Furthermore, wellness consumers pursue these six goals-based dimensions of wellness, and Management is positioning the Company to capitalize on this demand. With skin being humans’ largest organ, we have initially prioritized skincare and haircare to help wellness consumers look and feel better with clean and natural products. We intend to expand into additional wellness categories with functional foods, beverages, supplements, and more.
Our management team brings deep expertise in heavily regulated industries, operating, brand identity, genetics, and services, and raising capital to the public market. We seek synergistic and complementary mergers and acquisition opportunities, implementing operational efficiencies to eliminate duplicative measures and centralize administrative operations to achieve more significant revenues and profitability. Additionally, we expect to leverage our network of retail relationships and acquire and manage brands and services cultivated in the beauty and wellness industry to secure sales with major retailers in the United States and globally.
Our management team monitors a variety of trends and factors that follow which could impact our operating performance.
Revenue Strategy
Our revenue growth strategy follows a dual buy-and-build model in which we acquire brands and related infrastructure and develop brands and related infrastructure in-house. In addition to scaling the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Glow Market LLC, which currently owns and operates our Better Suds soap brand, we have acquired Mango Moi LLC and have begun to reformulate and re-package the brands (the resetting) to be more cost-effective and commercially scaled to increase profitability. Further, we have executed non-binding letters of intent to acquire companies within the natural supplement and functional beverage sectors. The closing of these respective transactions are dependent on numerous factors including but not limited to satisfactory completion of due diligence, capital constraints, and more.
Furthermore, any of these contemplated transactions would likely have a material impact on the Company’s operating performance.
Market Opportunity
We aim to become a major participant in the $1.5 trillion global wellness industry. We believe our innovative wellness-related offerings converge with wellness consumer trends and demands for “Better-For-You” brands and products that can satisfy all pricing points. We expect consumer trends towards adoption of these healthier lifestyles to continue.
Competition
We will compete with companies that operate in the plant-based and science-focused wellness market. Many of our competitors will have substantially greater financial resources, broader market presence, longer-standing relationships with distributors, retailers, and suppliers, longer operating histories, more extensive production and distribution capabilities, more robust brand recognition, more significant marketing resources, and more comprehensive product lines than us. We believe that principal competitive factors in this category include, among others, quality ingredients, wellness profile, cost, convenience, branding, and marketing.
Sales and Marketing Costs
As we continue to grow our “BFYW” product portfolio, we expect to expand our sales and marketing team by adding dedicated personnel to service additional retail customers. Outside sales representatives and brokers may be added to expand our sales efforts. We further envision engaging, developing and possibly acquiring a subscription box retail operation. Marketing expenditures are expected to begin primarily online and in product fees (as we engage retail store expansion), as well as other similar in-store marketing costs. We plan to hire a national marketing firm to implement digital video and display campaigns, connected television, social media, and search engine marketing. As we expand and grow revenue, we will build a brand management team (to support Management, who oversees all “BFYW” marketing efforts) to focus on digital marketing, social media, and other marketing functions.
Operating Costs
Our operating costs include raw materials, labor and related benefits, manufacturing overhead, marketing, sales, distribution, shipping, and other general and administrative expenses. We manage the impact of our operating costs through select raw ingredient contracts with growers and material providers.
Commodities
In the future, our profitability could depend on our ability to anticipate and react to raw material costs, among other things. Raw materials can be sourced from various parts of the globe, and the prices of raw goods are subject to many factors beyond our control. These factors include variables in the farming businesses (including crop degradation due to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, and pestilence), the size and number of growers who produce crops, changes in national or world economic conditions, political events, tariffs, trade wars, or other events.
Employees
As of February 28, 2023, we presently have six employees including our management, 4 full-time employees, Mr. Ian James, who was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Mr. Stephen Letourneau, who was appointed as the Chief Branding Officer, and Director, and Mr. Jacob Ellman, who was appointed as the Chief Business Development Officer and Mark Hamlin, the principal accounting officer. The Company has a part-time employee, who manages product fulfillment and fractional CFO Dr. Pratibha Chaurasia.

Business of Issuer
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC’s) reporting and disclosure rules (See Emerging Growth Companies Section Below).
The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.
The Registrant has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Registrant will consider the following kinds of factors:
(a)
Target is focused in the plant-based and science based food and beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors;
(b)
Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;
(c)
Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;
(d)
Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;
(e)
Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Registrant or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;
(f)
The cost of participation by the Registrant as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;
(g)
The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(h)
The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and,
(i)
Other relevant factors.
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Registrant’s limited capital available for investigation, the Registrant may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.
Additionally, Better For You Wellness, Inc. will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be a merger or acquisition candidate for Better For You Wellness, Inc. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than Better For You Wellness, Inc. and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, Better For You Wellness, Inc. will also compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking merger or acquisition candidates.
Corporate History
Company Overview
Better For You Wellness, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company” or the “Registrant”), was initially incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Glow Market LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company, to build and operate digitally native, mission-driven brands within the clean beauty sector in multiple consumer product categories. In December 2021, Glow Market LLC launched its first brand, Better Suds, an impact-driven brand that sells cruelty-free natural soap. In May 2022, the Company acquired its second wholly owned subsidiary, Mango Moi, LLC, a natural skincare and body care product line with naturally clean ingredients to soothe dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and cracked skin.
The Company seeks to acquire The Ideation Lab, LLC, a brand solutions incubator and accelerator focused on the plant-based wellness and hemp-infused industry since 2020. The Ideation Lab Garrett and Emmett’s Pet Treats, a pet lifestyle brand, E.J. Well Co, a women’s wellness brand (natural supplements), and others.
The Jordre Well is a functional beverage company that is 49% owned by Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: JVA), a leading integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the United States. Earlier this week, The Jordre Well announced its portfolio of products from Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection (“SJCCC”), the Company’s premium coffee brand, which is now being sold through Amazon.com and is in discussion with major national retailers. The e-commerce giant carries 8 of SJCCC’s premium coffee products and ships to more than 100 countries around the globe. Additionally, the deal contemplates Coffee Holding Company continuing its global purchase of coffee beans, manufacturing, distribution, and licensure of its Cafe Caribe and Harmony Bay to The Jordre Well for Hemp infusion.
We began trading under the symbol BFYW on OTC Markets Pink Tier in September 2021, and applied to the OTC Markets Group to up-list its Common Stock for trading on the OTC Markets Venture Market, or the OTCQB. In February 2022, the Company began trading on OTCQB.
Independent Board of Directors
On August 27, 2021, Montel Williams, Joseph J. Watson, Leslie Bumgarner, David H. Deming, and Dr. Nicola Finley were appointed by our Board of Directors to serve as Independent Directors of the Company. On January 1, 2022, Christina Jefferson was appointed to fill the vacancy left by outgoing Director Leslie Bumgarner, whose resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices. Each Director agreed to serve a two-year term. In October 2021, an Audit Committee was seated with Mr. Deming, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Williams as its members. Mr. Deming was elected its Chair. Dr. Finley resigned as a Director of the Company effective June 2022 due to time constraints and professional bandwidth, and she was replaced temporarily by Mellise Gelula, who, in August 2022, notified the Board that she was unable to commit to the director role and its requirements but would remain a member of the Company's Strategic Advisory Committee. The vacant Board of Director seat remains unfilled. Also, in October 2021, A Compensation Committee was seated with Ms. Leslie Bumgarner, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Williams as its members. Mr. Watson was elected its Chair, and in February 2022, Ms. Jefferson was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Ms. Bumgarner’s resignation.

The Company’s main office is located at 1349 East Broad Street, Columbus OH 43205. The Company has elected February 28th as its year end.
Our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all exhibits and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), are available free of charge via our website (www.bfyw.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with, or furnished, to the SEC. The foregoing reports are also publicly available at the SEC’s website: www.sec.gov/edgar.
FORM OF ACQUISITION
The manner in which the Registrant participates in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Registrant and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Registrant and such promoters.
It is likely that the Registrant will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Registrant. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other “tax free” provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity.
We anticipate difficulty in obtaining financing from other sources since we have no income and zero cash reserves. We are presently reliant on capital contributions towards expenses from Mr. Ian James, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Ian James has not guaranteed that he will continue to support our capital needs. Therefore, we may not have the ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, depending upon the transaction, the Registrants current stockholders may be substantially diluted to less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity and possibly even eliminated as stockholders by an acquisition.
The present stockholders of the Registrant will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Registrant following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all, or a majority of, the Registrant’s directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.
The Company anticipates that prior to consummating any acquisition or merger, the Company, if required by relevant state laws and regulations, will seek to have the transaction approved by stockholders in the appropriate manner. Certain types of transactions may be entered into solely by Board of Directors approval without stockholder approval. Under Nevada law, certain actions that would routinely be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken by written consent of stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of stockholders. Thus, if stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares decide by written consent to consummate an acquisition or a merger, minority stockholders would not be given the opportunity to vote on the issue. If stockholder approval is required, the Board will have discretion to consummate the transaction by written consent if it is determined to be in the Company’s best interest to do so. Regardless of whether an acquisition or merger is approved by Board action alone, by written consent or by holding a stockholders’ meeting, the Company will provide to its stockholder’s complete disclosure documentation concerning the potential target including requisite financial statements. This information will be disseminated by proxy statement in the event a stockholders’ meeting is held, or by an information statement if the action is taken by written consent.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. We estimate such cost to be approximately $10,000. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred.
As of February 28, 2023, we presently have six employees including our management,
4 full-time employees, Mr. Ian James, who was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Mr. Stephen Letourneau, who was appointed as the Chief Branding Officer, and Director, , and Mr. Jacob Ellman, who was appointed as the Chief Business Development Officer and Mark Hamlin, the principal accounting officer. The Company has a part-time employee, who manages product fulfillment and fractional CFO Dr. Pratibha Chaurasia.
Our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer is engaged in outside business activities and anticipates that he will
devote approximately
forty (40) hours per week. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.
Furthermore, the analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Ian James, the sole officer and director of the Company, who is not a professional business analyst and, in all likelihood, will not be experienced in matters relating to the target business opportunity. The inexperience of Mr. James and the fact that the analysis and evaluation of a potential business combination is to be taken under his supervision may adversely impact the Company’s ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination. There is no guarantee that Mr. James will be able to identify a business combination target that is suitable for the Company. Ian James, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and sole officer, may hire third parties to conduct an analysis for a target company or any other business opportunities.
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
(a)
the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
(b)
the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective IPO registration statement;
(c)
the date on which such issuer has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
(d)
the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires Issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures. Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment on the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company, we are also exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the Jobs Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We file or furnish annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC makes available free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. The SEC maintains a website that contains these reports, proxy and information statements and other information that can be accessed, free of charge, at

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Company, Business and Industry
Our auditors have indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we 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 the financial statements for the Company included elsewhere in this report. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Because we do not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we will need to raise additional funds and are currently exploring alternative sources of financing. On February 28, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,075,601. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to raise financing from third parties and generating revenues from operations. There is no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. For further discussion about our ability to continue as a going concern and our plan for future liquidity, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history. Such limited operating history may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
We have a limited operating history. The Company was formed on December 1, 2020. We have limited experience and operating history in which to assess our future prospects as a company. In addition, the market for our products and services is highly competitive. If we fail to successfully develop and offer our products and services in an increasingly competitive market, we may not be able to capture the growth opportunities associated with them or recover our development and marketing costs, and our future results of operations and growth strategies could be adversely affected. Our limited history may not provide a meaningful basis for investors to evaluate our business, financial performance, and prospects.
We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.
Our shareholders may lose their entire investment if we fail to execute our business plan. Our prospects must be considered in light of the following risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, competition, the erosion of ongoing revenue streams, the ability to retain experienced personnel and general economic conditions. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business plan. If we fail to successfully execute our business plan, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case our shareholders may lose their entire investment.
We have a history of losses and may have to further reduce our costs by curtailing future operations to continue as a business.
Historically we have had operating losses and our cash flow has been inadequate to support our ongoing operations. Our ability to fund our capital requirements out of our available cash and cash generated from our operations depends on a number of factors, including our ability to gain interest in our products and services and continue growing our existing operations. If we cannot continue to generate positive cash flow from operations, we will have to reduce our costs and try to raise working capital from other sources. These measures could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our operations and expand our business.
The Company may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds.
We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to fund operations and to continue to expand our operations. To that end, we will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. If we are successful, whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable, there is a potential that we will fail to comply with the terms of such financing, which could result in severe liability for our Company. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to fund liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations altogether. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties. In addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.
Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.
We expect that we will pursue acquisitions of other businesses, assets, or technologies to grow our business. We may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates, or we may be unable to reach acceptable terms for future acquisitions. We might not be able to raise enough cash to compete for attractive acquisition targets. If we are unable to complete acquisitions in the future, our ability to grow our business at our anticipated rate will be impaired.
We may pay for acquisitions by issuing additional shares of our common stock, which would dilute our stockholders, or by issuing debt, which could include terms that restrict our ability to operate our business or pursue other opportunities and subject us to meaningful debt service obligations. We may also use significant amounts of cash to complete acquisitions. To the extent that we complete acquisitions in the future, we likely will incur future depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the acquired assets. We may also record significant amounts of intangible assets, including goodwill, which could become impaired in the future. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:
●
difficulties integrating the operations, technologies, services, and personnel of the acquired companies;
●
challenges maintaining our internal standards, controls, procedures, and policies;
●
diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
●
over-valuation by us of acquired companies;
●
litigation resulting from activities of the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former stockholders and other third parties;
●
insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with the acquisitions and unanticipated liabilities of the acquired companies;
●
insufficient indemnification or security from the selling parties for legal liabilities that we may assume in connection with our acquisitions;
●
entering markets in which we have no prior experience and may not succeed;
●
risks associated with foreign acquisitions, such as communication and integration problems resulting from geographic dispersion and language and cultural differences, compliance with foreign laws and regulations and general economic or political conditions in other countries or regions;
●
potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and
●
impairment of relationships with clients and employees of the acquired companies or our clients and employees as a result of the integration of acquired operations and new management personnel.
Our management team’s attention may be diverted by recent acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.
Mergers and acquisitions are time intensive, requiring significant commitment of our management team’s focus and resources. If our management team spends too much time focused on recent acquisitions or on potential acquisition targets, our management team may not have sufficient time to focus on our existing business and operations. This diversion of attention could have material and adverse consequences on our operations and our ability to be profitable.
We may be unable to scale our operations successfully.
Our growth strategy will place significant demands on our management and financial, administrative, and other resources. Operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative, and other resources. If the Company is unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of its operations, then the quality of its services, its ability to retain key personnel, and its business could be harmed.
The Company may suffer from a lack of liquidity.
By incurring indebtedness, the Company subjects itself to increased debt service obligations which could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. This would impair our ability to hire the necessary senior and support personnel required for our business, as well carry out its acquisition strategy and other business objectives.
The Company’s success depends upon the ability to adapt to a changing market and continued development of additional products and services.
Although we expect to provide a broad and competitive range of products and services, there can be no assurance of acceptance by the marketplace. The procurement of new contracts by the Company may be dependent upon the continuing results achieved, upon pricing and operational considerations, as well as the potential need for continuing improvement to existing products and services. Moreover, the markets for such products and services may not develop as expected nor can there be any assurance that we will be successful in our marketing of any such services.
The requirements of remaining a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it difficult to manage our business.
We are required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements are time-consuming and expensive and could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The commercial success of our products and services is dependent, in part, on factors outside our control
.
The commercial success of our products and services is dependent upon unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, such as the success of our competitors’ products and services. Our failure to attract market acceptance and a sustainable competitive advantage over our competitors would materially harm our business.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Because our common stock trades on the OTCQB, we are subject to the unwillingness of most institutional investors to purchase our common stock as well as the general limited liquidity of that trading market.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB, which is not a national securities exchange. Most institutional investors will only purchase securities which trade on one of the markets operated by the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange. As a result, the OTCQB is generally less liquid than the leading stock exchanges. While the market for our common stock has been relatively active, we believe our failure to be listed on a leading national securities exchange has reduced our liquidity. We cannot assure you that our recent liquidity will be maintained or that investors will not encounter difficulties in selling their common stock in the future at present levels or if the absence of sufficient liquidity will harm our shareholders in the future.
Our Common Stock is subject to risks arising from restrictions on reliance on Rule 144 by former shell companies.
Under a regulation of the SEC known as “Rule 144,” a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of an issuer and who is not an affiliate of that issuer may sell them without registration under the Securities Act provided that certain conditions have been met. One of these conditions is that such person has held the restricted securities for a prescribed period, which will be 6 months for the common stock. However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of securities issued by an issuer that is a shell company (other than a business combination related shell company) or, unless certain conditions are met, that has been at any time previously a shell company.
The SEC defines a shell company as a company that has (a) no or nominal operations and (b) either (i) no or nominal assets, (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
As disclosed by the Company on Item 5.06 of its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 6, 2021, the Company has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Glow Market, an Ohio Limited Liability Company, to build and operate digitally-native, mission-driven brands within the clean beauty sector in multiple consumer product categories.
Better Suds has begun sales in the United States on its direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) e-commerce website (www.bettersuds.com) with six different products available.
With the Company’s launch of Glow Market and Better Suds, Better For You Wellness, Inc. has ceased to be a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and is no longer a blank-check company.
While we believe that as a result of Glow Market and Better Suds, the Company ceased to be a shell company, the SEC, and others whose approval is required in order for shares to be sold under Rule 144 might take a different view.
Rule 144 is available for the resale of securities of former shell companies if and for as long as the following conditions are met:
(i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company,
(ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
(iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and
(iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company known as “Form 10 Information.”
Although the Company filed Form 10 Information with the SEC on its Current Report on Form 8-K on April 21, 2021, shareholders who receive the Company’s restricted securities will not be able to sell them pursuant to Rule 144 without registration until the Company has met the other conditions to this exception and then for only as long as the Company continues to meet the condition described in subparagraph (iii), above, and is not a shell company. No assurance can be given that the Company will meet these conditions or that, if it has met them, it will continue to do so, or that it will not again be a shell company.
The sale of the additional shares of Common Stock could cause dilution as well as the value of our Common Stock to decline.
The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish. Further, if we do sell or issue more common stock, any investors’ investment in the Company will be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in the Company’s common stock could seriously decline in value.
Our Common Stock constitutes restricted securities and is subject to limited transferability.
All of our common stock shares, should be considered a long-term, illiquid investment. Common. In addition, our common stock, is not registered under any state securities laws that would permit their transfer. Because of these restrictions and the absence of an active trading market for our securities, a stockholder will likely be unable to liquidate an investment even though other personal financial circumstances would dictate such liquidation.
Our Common Stock price may decrease due to factors beyond our control.
The stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for early-stage companies, and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our stock, if a trading market for our stock ever develops. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of their stock in the public market, the price of our stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity-related securities, in the future at a price we deem appropriate.
The market price of our stock may also fluctuate significantly in response, but not limited, to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control:
●
variations in our quarterly operating results,
●
changes in general economic conditions,
●
changes in market valuations of similar companies,
●
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or capital commitments,
●
poor reviews;
●
loss of a major customer, partner, or joint venture participant; and
●
the addition or loss of key managerial and collaborative personnel.
Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price or value of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
Our Common Stock is subject to the application of the “penny stock” rules which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase transaction costs to sell those shares.
The SEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
●
that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and
●
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
●
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and
●
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
●
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and
●
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
The market price for our Common Stocks is particularly volatile which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your Common Stock shares at or above your purchase price, or at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock shares will be at any time, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of common stock shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Because we will likely issue additional shares of our Common Stock, investment in the Company could be subject to substantial dilution.
Investors’ interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock. We anticipate that all or at least some, or potentially all, of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell or issue more common stock, any investors’ investment in the Company will be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in the Company’s common stock could seriously decline in value.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted FINRA Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
If we are unable to comply with the financial reporting requirements mandated by the SEC’s regulations, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the price of our common stock, if a market ever does develop for it, could decline.
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely, accurate and reliable periodic financial statements could be impaired. If we do not maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy of our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act. Additionally, our ability to obtain additional financing could be impaired or a lack of investor confidence in the reliability and accuracy of our public reporting could cause our stock price to decline.

Market Information
The Company is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 700,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 500,000,000 are shares of Common Stock and 200,000,000 are shares of Preferred Stock. As of the date of filing this Form 10-K 404,214,987 shares of Common Stock and 700,000 shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding and the Company had two preferred stockholders of record.
Common Stock
All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. All stockholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. The stockholders do not have cumulative or preemptive rights.
Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights, which could adversely affect the voting power, or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.
Holders
On June 9, 2023, there were approximately 167 record holders of our common stock. We believe that there are significantly more beneficial owners of our common stock.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. See
“
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
”
Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in Item 1A.
“
Risk Factors.
”
As discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in Note 3. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, we have restated our previously issued audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of February 28, 2022, and our unaudited quarterly financial information for the quarterly periods ended May 31, August 31 and November 30, 2022 and 2021. Accordingly, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been revised for the effects of the restatement.
Business Overview
Through our dual buy and build business model, we evaluate the wellness industry in the following six goals-based categories:
●
Better Health
●
Better Fitness
●
Better Nutrition
●
Better Appearance
●
Better Sleep
●
Better Mindfulness
As an early-stage company, our Company generated $11,414 and $1,517 in revenue for the twelve months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 respectively. Our strategy is designed to offer wellness consumers a diverse synergistic portfolio of brands and products that will allow them to live a life of intention and improve their quality of life.
We believe wellness consumers purchase with intention and seek out the brands and products that improve their quality of life. Furthermore, wellness consumers pursue these six goals-based dimensions of wellness and are positioning the Company to capitalize on this demand. With skin being humans’ largest organ, we have initially prioritized skincare and haircare to help wellness consumers look and feel better with clean and natural products. We intend to expand into additional wellness categories with functional foods, beverages, supplements, and more.
We have begun reformulating and repackaging Mango Moi and Better Suds to position the brands for a more significant masstige consumer by making them prestigious, cost-effective, and profitable.
We intend to close the Letters of Intent (LOI) this summer to purchase The Ideation Lab and its functional beverage line, The Jordre Well and Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection, which expects to expand sales with bakeries, boutiques, and retailers, with a national grocer this Summer, as well as with functional foods, supplements, functional pet treats, and more. Closing these LOIs is projected to increase Shareholder Value and position the Company for additional development of a Men’s Skin Care line, a Luxe skincare line focused on cellular turnover, and further position the Company to seek synergistic acquisitions, including brands, manufacturing, and distribution.
Our management team monitors a variety of trends and factors that follow which could impact our operating performance. As an early-stage company, the Company has relatively few transactions to date.
Revenue Strategy
Our revenue growth strategy follows a dual buy-and-build model in which we acquire and develop in-house brands and related infrastructure. In addition to scaling the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Glow Market LLC, which currently owns and operates our Better Suds soap brand, we acquired Mango Moi, a natural skin and haircare line.
To further develop Better Suds and Mango Moi into masstige brands, we have begun to reformulate and re-package the brands (the resetting) to be more cost-effective and commercially scaled to increase profitability. We began the resetting of Mango Moi in late Fiscal Year 2023 and expect to finalize the reset of the brands to make them cash flow neutral as soon as the following Fiscal Year and project profitability the following Fiscal Year as we aim to sell through to larger commercial venues, direct-to-consumer online, and through to subscription box sales.
We have a planned collaboration between Mango Moi and Better Suds, allowing the clean body, face, hair, and hand wash to interact with skin and hair care products.
The Company also has designs to develop a Men’s Skin Care brand and a Premium Luxe Skin Care Line. The Company would have personal care products for men and women at various price points and the ability to develop collaborations.. The Men’s Skin Care Line and Premium Luxe Skin Care line are expected to launch in late Fiscal Year 2024.
In early Fiscal Year 24, the Company expects to finalize the acquisition of The Ideation Lab with its brand incubation, including supplemental brand EJ Wellco and functional pet treat line, Garrett & Emmett’s Pet Treats, and logistics and Human Resources units. Additionally, the Company expects to close its acquisition of the The Jordre Well, operating within the Functional Beverage category. The Jordre Well acquisition would include the premium coffee line, Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection (SJCCC), which is sold on Amazon, direct-to-consumers, and a growing number of bakeries/boutiques and retailers. SJCCC is in discussion with national grocers, retailers, hotels, and resorts. As a brand, SJCCC provides whole and ground beans in Light roast from Zambia, Medium roast from Brazil, Dark roast from Papua New Guinea, 100% Arabica Bean Swiss Water Process Decaf, and Hemp infused Sumatra Coffee. Because the coffee lines are curated from coffee beans worldwide, the Company will seek to find similar and complimentary coffee with similar taste notes for premium coffee consumers.
SJCCC is producing and selling its Nitro Cold Brew this summer. It will begin selling K-cup-style and Nespresso-style individual serving pods for retail consumers and amenity sales at hotels and resorts. SJCCC sales are projected to be cashflow neutral through 2024, then achieve cashflow positivity the following Fiscal Year.
The Company is exploring developing and acquiring several Purchasing Channels to cross-pollinate its portfolio of wellness brands with unrelated wellness brands via interactive self-serve kiosks, monthly subscription box sales, and clinic sales.
Market Opportunity
Our goal continues to become a going concern through the expansion of Personal Care, Functional Beverages, Purchasing Channels, Functional Foods, and Supplementals. These are in tandem with our strategic plans to up-list on NASDAQ/NYSE organically or via merger. We believe our innovative wellness-related offerings converge with wellness consumer trends and demands for “Better-For-You” brands and products that satisfy a variety of pricing points. We expect consumer trends toward the adoption of these healthier lifestyles to continue trade wars or other events.
Discussion of Financial Statement
As an Early-Stage Company with few transactions, the Company’s expenditures were heavily Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) and shared based expenses. The Company engaged Anthony L.G., PLLC as legal counsel to be consulted on a case-by-case basis as necessary for corporate legal services. Legal services were the single largest category of expenditure of the fiscal year. Management expects legal costs to taper as a percentage of overall SG&A as the company grows. To ensure continued financial regulatory compliance, GBQ Partners, LLC remains the Company’s Auditor. The Company’s SG&A further includes the cost of EDGAR and news release filing services, payroll of a single person, website development and publishing, professional services such as BFYW’s OTCQB listing fees, SRAX for regular updates of NOBO data for the shareholder lists for ongoing shareholder communications, Governmental filing fees including business licensing.
Systems and Controls
As an early-stage company, the Company has very few transactions to date. The Company’s Board of Directors consists of 6 members,
4 of which are non-executive independent directors. The Board of Directors reviews transactions, and the CEO signs off on transactions. The Company is developing revenue recognition processes and procedures for the business, including revenue streams, point of performance obligation discharged, etc., to comply with applicable State, Provincial, Federal, and International Laws and Regulations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Company has applied ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue for products is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer and the customer completes the product inspection. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had no deferred revenues.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Financial Statements and Exhibits
The Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of or merger with an existing company.
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), that eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC’s) reporting and disclosure rules (See Emerging Growth Companies Section Below).
The Company has elected February 28th as its year end.

Revenues
The Company generated $11,414 and $1,517 in revenues for our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in revenues is due to its wholly-owned subsidiary Mango Moi, by sale of hair and skin care products.
Cost of Goods Sold
We recorded $18,409 and $733 for Cost of Goods Sold for our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in Cost of Goods Sold was related to Mango Moi hair and skin care products.
Gross Profit
We recorded $6,995 and $784 in negative Gross Profit and Gross Profit for our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Operating Expenses
We recorded $3,336,041 and $2,544,025 in Operating Expenses for our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We incurred substantially higher Operating Expenses for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 compared to the prior fiscal year due to contemplated acquisition transactions, legal fees, due diligence costs, accounting, travel, and consultants’ related expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. As of February 28, 2023, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $3,527,425 which resulted in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $740,759 at the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our Company’s inception date of December 1, 2020, and our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023, we have completed only three taxable fiscal years.
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $3,527,425 and $2,543,241 for our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023, and 2022, respectively. We recorded a substantially higher net loss for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, compared to the prior fiscal year due to an increase in Operating Expenses.
Cash flow
For the twelve months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022, we had negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $817,775 and $308,022, respectively, due to increased Operating Expenses.

Revenues
The company generated $306 and $0 for the three months ended May 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, an increase of $306. The increase was due to merchandise sales. The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various business opportunities in the plant-based food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) sectors, including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions, or business combination transactions.
Cost of Goods Sold
We recorded $6,069 and $0 for Cost of Goods Sold for the three-months ended May 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, an increase of $6,069. The increase in Cost of Goods Sold was due to increased product development of inventory.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
We recorded negative $5,763 and $0 in Gross Profit for the three months ended May 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $5,763. We recorded a lower Gross Profit for the three months that ended May 31, 2022, compared to the first quarter of the prior year due to an increase in the Cost of Goods and a decrease in merchandise sales due to a decrease in marketing.
Operating Expenses
We recorded $965,308 and $72,051 in Operating Expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. We incurred substantially higher Operating Expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2022, compared to the prior year’s first quarter due to contemplated acquisition transactions, legal fees, due diligence costs, accounting, travel, and consultants. The primary reason for the increase in operating expenses is an increase of approximately $768,313 in share-based expenses and approximately $196,995 in general and administrative expenses.

In the six months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, we recorded a negative $7,536 and $0 in Gross Profit. a decrease of $7,536.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the stock option expense for Independent Directors, recognition of deferred compensation, and increased costs due to the acquisition of Mango Moi.

Revenues
The company generated $6,986 and $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively, an increase of $6,986. The company generated $9,008 and $0 for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively, an increase of $9,008. The increase was due to the Company having sales from its Mango Moi operation.
Cost of Goods Sold
We recorded $5,823 and $0 for Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively, an increase of $5,823. We recorded $15,381 and $0 for Cost of Goods Sold for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively, an increase of $15,381.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
We recorded $1,163 and $0 in Gross Profit for the three months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively, an increase of $1,163. The increase was due to the increase in sales and the streamlining of manufacturing. We recorded a negative $6,373 and $0 in Gross Profit for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively, a decrease of $6,373. The decrease was due to the reformulating and reconfiguring Mango Moi production over the period.
Operating Expenses
We recorded $734,918 and $1,726,323 in Operating Expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively. We recorded $2,305,290 and $1,469,082 in Operating Expenses for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, and 2021 respectively.
We incurred $331,179 in lower Operating Expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2022 due to approximately $457,174 in share-based expenses, and approximately $208,927 in general and administrative expenses, compared to $1,458,415 and $267,908 in share-based expenses, and general administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2021. The decrease in general expenses and administrative expenses was due to reduced stock option expenses for Independent Directors with the vacancy of one Independent Board member, and reduction in legal fees, marketing expenses, membership subscriptions, licenses, and software and applications.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance at February 28, 2023 and 2022, was $13,773 and $9,642 respectively. We received $3,750 and $68,000 from the sale of shares of Common Stock for the twelve months ended February 28, 2023, and 2022 respectively. We are presently reliant on capital contributions toward expenses from Mr. Ian James, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Ian James has not guaranteed that he will continue to support our capital needs. Therefore, we may not have the ability to continue as a going concern. In order to implement our plan of operations for the next twelve-month period, we may require further funding. Being a start-up stage company, we have very limited operating history. After a twelve-month period, we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until our Company raises the necessary financing or cease operations entirely.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Better For You Wellness, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Better For You Wellness, Inc. (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2023, and related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at February 28, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Other
Matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended February 28, 2022, before the restatement described in Note 3, were audited by another auditor whose report was dated June 15, 2022 expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.
As
part of our audit of the February 28, 2023 consolidated financial statements, we also audited the adjustments described in Note 3 that were applied to restate the February 28, 2022 consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the February 28, 2022 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the February 28, 2022 consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Better For You Wellness, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was initially incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020. A plant-based, science-focused wellness consumer packaged goods and sustainable services Company evaluating opportunities targeting six goals-based wellness categories within the rapidly growing wellness industry to create a leading global wellness conglomerate.
The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various opportunities in the plant-based skincare, personal care, food and beverage, natural supplement and consumer packaged goods and services sectors.
The Company acquired Mango Moi, a natural skincare company in May 2022 and intends to optimize Mango Moi’s product formulae and packaging, as well as secure new manufacturing relationships to scale production capacity. Additionally, the Company plans to expand Mango Moi’s product offerings to include additional products and product bundles. Furthermore, the Company intends to grow sales through direct-to-consumer marketing efforts, subscription box sales, and pursuing wholesale sales relationships.
The Company intends to acquire The Ideation Lab, LLC and its functional beverage division, The Jordre Well. The Ideation Lab is a brand solutions incubator and accelerator focused on the plant-based wellness and hemp-infused industry. The Ideation Lab has been developing plant-based wellness brands since 2020, including Garrett and Emmett’s Pet Treats, a pet lifestyle brand, E.J. Well Co, a women’s wellness brand, and others. The Jordre Well is a functional beverage company that is 49% owned by Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: JVA), a leading integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the United States. Earlier this week, The Jordre Well announced its portfolio of products from Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection (“SJCCC”), the Company’s premium coffee brand, which is now being sold through Amazon.com and is in discussion with major national retailers. The e-commerce giant carries 8 of SJCCC’s premium coffee products and ships to more than 100 countries around the globe. Additionally, the deal contemplates Coffee Holding Company continuing its global purchase of coffee beans, manufacturing, distribution, and licensure of its Cafe Caribe and Harmony Bay to The Jordre Well for Hemp infusion.
The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various opportunities in the plant-based food and beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors, including but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, or business combination transactions. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings.
The Company’s main office is located at 1349 East Broad Street, Columbus OH 43205.
The Company has elected February 28th as its year end.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries
, Mango Moi and Glow Markets, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the bad debt allowance, sales returns, fair values of financial instruments, equity investments, stock-based compensation,
goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash at February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 were $13,773 and $9,642, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents
, and accounts receivable. As of February 28, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s cash were held by financial institutions that management believes have acceptable credit. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by regular credit evaluations that the Company performs on its distribution partners and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.
Business Combinations
The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that are acquired as of the acquisition date. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. ASC 350 requires that goodwill with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be evaluated for impairment at least annually. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill is allocated to reporting units. On an annual basis and more frequently based on triggering events, as of February 28 of each year, management reviews goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances makes it more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it carrying amount. If it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it carrying amount, goodwill is further tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated fair value of its reporting units, determined using externally quoted prices (if available) or a discounted cash flow model and, when deemed necessary, a market approach. Goodwill impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Application of goodwill impairment tests requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units and determination of fair value of each reporting unit. Judgment applied when performing the qualitative analysis includes consideration of macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, composition, personnel or strategy changes affecting the reporting unit and recoverability of asset groups within a reporting unit. Judgments applied when performing the quantitative analysis includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates, and making other assumptions. Changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets (three to five years).
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are recognized at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis. In establishing the required allowance, management considers any historical losses, the customer’s financial condition, the accounts receivable aging, and the customer’s payment patterns. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed and the potential for recovery is remote, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Inventory
Inventories, which include the costs of material, labor and overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis.
Better Suds manufactures only what it sells in a drop ship business model, therefore the Company had $0 in inventory as of February 28, 2022. With the acquisition of Mango Moi in May 2022, the Company acquired an inventory of $979 as of February 28.
Revenue R
ecognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue for products is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer and the customer completes the product inspection. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of February 28, 2023, the Company had no deferred revenues.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes
.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at February 28, 2023,as the Company has recorded a full valuation analysis.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260,
Earnings per Share
. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
Potential common shares include options and warrants to purchase common shares, preferred shares and convertible promissory notes, unless they were anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., an increase in earnings per share amounts or a decrease in loss per share amounts) on net loss per share.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected, realization.
ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between:
(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
- Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Our financial instruments that are not re-measured at fair value consist of our accounts receivable, related party receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory, deferred FC cost, accounts payable, deferred compensation, Illinois department of revenue payable, out of scope agency payable and notes payable - related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Our non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and adjustment in carrying amount of equity securities for which the measurement alternative of cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes is used.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. $19,037 and $43,232 advertising and marketing costs were incurred during the year ended February 28, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
Research and Development
Research and Development costs are expensed as incurred. No research and development costs were incurred during the year ended February 28, 2023 and 2022.
Related Parties
See Notes 13 and 17
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation
”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period when an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) or the straight-line attribution method.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.”
Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the grant date.
Except as specified for the Independent Directors’ compensation, the Company had no stock-based compensation plans as of February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022.
The Company’s stock-based compensation for the periods ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 was $2,121,213 and $2,066,035, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables, by replacing today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model under which allowances will be recognized based on expected rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 will become effective for us in the first quarter of 2023. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update will have on our financial statements.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operation.
Note 3. Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
In connection with the filing of this Form 10-K, BFYW corrected certain historical stock-based compensation valuations. This restates the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2022. The relevant unaudited interim financial information for each of the quarters during the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2023 has also been restated. See Note 21, Quarterly Results of Operations (Unaudited), in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for such restated information.
The Company initially calculated the fair value for stock options expense based on grant date of August 31, 2021 instead of actual grant date of September 30, 2021, which resulted in the need to revise call value for stock options expense. After applying the revised valuation of stock options to our prior financial statements, we determined, for the periods indicated in the explanatory note, that the resulting changes to our financial statements, data, and related disclosures described above were material.
For the period ended November 30, 2021 the share-based expenses amounting $609,243 were restated to $1,535,415. The restatement resulted from reclassification of general and administrative expense $265,946 and revaluation of stock options expense of grant date September 30, 2021 by $660,226, resulting in total restatement amount of $926,172.
For the year ended February 28, 2022, the share-based expenses amounting $1,156,134 was restated to $2,066,035. The restatement resulted from the revaluation of stock option expense of grant date September 30, 2021 and stock option granted dated January 1, 2022 amounting $34,010 based on straight line method, resulting in total restatement amount of $909,901.
Additionally, the prepaid assets of $78,072 that were recorded in the first quarter for the period ending May 31, 2022, have been reversed in previously published unaudited quarterly financial statements for the periods ending May, September and November 2022 due to correction in accounting for warrants issued.
For the period ended May 31, 2022 the share-based expenses amounting $684,050 were restated to $768,313. The restatement resulted from revaluation of stock options expense of grant date September 30, 2021 by $84,263.
For the period ended May 31, 2022 the liability assumed from acquisition from Mango Moi of $6,087 was reclassified from cash used in operating activities to cash used for acquisition of business under investing activities. The Company reclassified the cash flow for the period ended May, September and November 2022.
For the period ended May 31, 2022 the Company
entered into the MIPA agreement with Mango Moi, in exchange for the MM Interests, the Company issued the common shares amounting $550,000
. The Company restated the non-financial disclosures in cash flows statements for the period ended May, September and November 2022.
Effective May 2022, the liability assumed from acquisition of Mango Moi was $35,000, which was partially settled by issuance of 760,870 Common Shares @ $0.023 amounting $17,500. The Company restated the non-financial disclosures in cash flows statements for the period ended May, September and November 2022.
For the period ended August 31, 2022 the share-based expenses amounting $985,713 were restated to $995,932. The restatement resulted from revaluation of stock options expense of grant date September 30, 2021 by $10,219.
For the period ended November 30, 2022 the share-based expenses amounting $1,332,475 were restated to $1,453,106. The restatement resulted from revaluation of stock options expense of grant date September 30, 2021 by $120,631.
The restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements increased our reported net loss by $909,901 for the year ended February 28, 2022. We refer to the adjustments to correct the historical errors described above as the "Restatement Adjustments."
Due to this determination, the Company has restated its financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, including each of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly and year-to-date periods.
For restatement of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly
and year-to-date periods in the year ended February 28, 2022 and 2023 refer to Note 21. Restatement of Previously Issued Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Annual Report.
The following tables summarize the effects of the Historical Adjustments on the Company’s restated consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2022 and its restated consolidated statement of operations, restated consolidated statement of cash flows and restated consolidated statement of changes in member's equity for the years ended February 28,2022.

Note 4 - Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
The Company has not established enough sources of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Note 5 - Income Taxes
The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the period presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. As of February 28, 2023, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $3,527,425 which resulted in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $750,759 at the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our inception on December 1, 2020, and our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023, we have completed only three taxable fiscal years.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Note 6 - Business Combinations
On April 29, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Mango Moi. The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with GAAP and was made to expand our market share in the personal care category and due to synergies of product lines and services between the Companies. The acquisition closed May 26, 2022.
Mango Moi is a hair and skincare business located in Chicago, Illinois. Pursuant to the MIPA, in exchange for the MM Interests, the Company agreed to pay the Sellers a purchase price consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share which consists of 11,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Company Common Stock”), with a fair market value of approximately $550,000, with 5,720,000 shares of Company Common Stock issued to Amanda Cayemitte and 5,280,000 shares of Company Common Stock issued to Yapo M’be (referred to together herein as the “Purchase Price”).
The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisitions as follows:

Note 7- Acquisition
The Company has completed one acquisition that has been accounted for as purchases and has resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses exceeds the fair value of acquired identifiable net assets due to the purchase prices reflecting a number of factors including the future earnings and cash flow potential of these businesses, the multiple to earnings, cash flow and other factors at which similar businesses have been purchased by other acquirers, the competitive nature of the processes by which the Company acquired the businesses and the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations.
For acquisitions, the Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains the information used for the purchase price allocation during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price.
The Company has completed the below acquisition in the year ended February 28, 2023. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired entity from their respective acquisition date. The acquisition have been accounted for as business combinations

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Limitations on Controls and Procedures
- Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (collectively, “Control Systems”) may not prevent or detect all failures or misstatements of the type sought to be avoided by Control Systems. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s Control Systems to future periods are subject to the risk that such controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s Control Systems will prevent all errors or 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 benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all Control Systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These reports by management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on the effectiveness of the Company’s Control Systems express only reasonable assurance of the conclusions reached.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
- The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Fractional Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), as of February 28, 2023, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Fractional Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of February 28, 2023, and additional controls were required to address and correct material weaknesses.
Management
’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
- Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Fractional Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as of February 28, 2023, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its publication Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February 28, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
-There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended February 28, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
