Explanatory Note

 

Safety Shot, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No.1 (the “Amendment”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, to reclassify the financial statements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Original Form 10-Q”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2023.

 

Background of Reclassification

 

Through a series of exchange agreements ( collectively the “Exchange Agreement”) that the Company entered into with SRM Entertainment Limited with respect to the separation of the business of SRM Ltd from the Company which separation closed on August 14, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, SRM issued to the Company 6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”), representing 79.3% of SRM’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM Ltd). On August 14, 2023, SRM completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of the 6,500,000 Exchange Shares to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (the “Distribution”). The Distribution occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following the Distribution, the Company owns 4,500,000 of the 9,450,000 shares of SRM’s outstanding common stock. As a result, SRM is no longer consolidated and is now accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

 

The financial statements included herein for the period immediately preceding the effective date of the Share Exchange have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM Ltd assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM Ltd are reflected as discontinued operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and financial performance based on certain assumptions. They include opinions, forecasts, intentions, plans, goals, projections, guidance, expectations, beliefs or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential,” “continue,” or “projects,” or the negative or other variation of such words, and similar expressions may identify a statement as a forward-looking statement. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and the development of our products, are forward-looking statements.

 

Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public can read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.

Safety Shot, Inc.

(Formerly known as Jupiter Wellness, Inc.)

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Nine months Ended September 30, 2023 and Year Ended December 31, 2022

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Business Operations

 

Safety Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023 the Company acquired certain assets of GBB Drink Lab Inc which included the blood alcohol detox drink Safety Shot, an over-the-counter drink that can lower blood alcohol content to allow recovery from the effects of alcohol at a rate faster than would occur normally. Concurrently with the purchase, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company launched Safety Shot in December 2023.

 

Safety Shot has a well-established clinical development infrastructure and fits within the Company’s existing over-the-counter and prescription-grade health and wellness products. The Company will continue its current products line as an operating division and is committed to supporting health and wellness by developing innovative solutions to a range of conditions. We take pride in our research and development of over-the-counter (OTC) products and intellectual property, which aim to address some of the most prevalent health and wellness concerns today. Our product pipeline includes a diverse range of products, such as hair loss treatments, eczema creams, vitiligo solutions, and sexual wellness products, that cater to different health and wellness needs. We are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest scientific research and technology, ensuring that our products are effective, safe, and meet the highest industry standards.

 

To achieve our mission, we rely on a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are committed to advancing our vision of health and wellness. Our team includes scientists, researchers, product developers, and business experts who collaborate to create new products and enhance existing ones. We also partner with industry leaders and organizations to leverage the latest technologies and expand our reach.

 

We generate revenue through various channels, including the sales of our OTC and consumer products, as well as licensing royalties. Our products are available through various retailers and e-commerce platforms, making them accessible to a broad customer base. Additionally, we collaborate with other companies to license our intellectual property, creating additional revenue streams and expanding our global presence.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficits of $60,003,740 and $50,597,674, respectively, and cash flow used in operations of $5,182,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $6,448,078 and $6,523,441 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $4,387,797 and $1,477,552, respectively, in cash and working capital of $3,902,697 and $2,245,979, respectively. These conditions have raised doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as noted by our auditors, M&K CPAS, PLLC.

 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jupiter Wellness, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Jupiter Wellness Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation at September 30. 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Discontinued Operations requiring entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. Effective August 14, 2023, the Company sold SRM Entertainment Ltd, (“SRM”) a previously wholly owned subsidiary. Financial statements preceding the effective date of the sale have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM are reflected a discontinued operation.

 

Debt Extinguishment and Modification

 

Any changes or modification to debt instruments must be examined to determine if the modification has any significant effect. If the changes or modifications are material, the change or modification must be accounted for as an extinguishment. If determined to be an extinguishment, the change or modification to the original debt is derecognized and a new debt is recognized. Any difference in the fair value is recognized as a gain or loss on extinguishment.

 

Deconsolidation

 

The Company will use Deconsolidation Accounting upon the loss of control of a subsidiary determined to be less than 50% owned. Upon deconsolidation, the Company will no longer present the subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. If the Company owns more than 20% but less than 50% the Company will continue to report under the Equity Method.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Discontinued Operations requiring entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. Effective August 14, 2023, the Company sold SRM Entertainment Ltd, (“SRM”) a wholly owned subsidiary. Financial statements preceding the effective date of the sale have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM are reflected a discontinued operation.

 

Equity Method for Investments

 

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.

 

Asset Purchases

 

The Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method, under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection with an asset purchase.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s Marketable Securities are considered Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities are valued at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded periodically on financial reporting dates as other income or loss.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

F-6

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write- offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting. During the Nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had expired inventory write-downs of $23,794. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that certain of our inventory items were either slow moving, expired or discontinued. As a result, the Company wrote-off a total of $152,432 of inventory, consisting of raw materials of $23,623, finished goods of $123,094 and packaging of $5,715 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Investments Held-to-Maturity

 

Investments that the Company’s management has the “positive intent and ability” to hold through maturity are classified and accounted for as hold-to- maturity investments (“HTM”). HTM investments are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. For investments classified as HTM, no unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in financial statements.

 

Assets and liabilities Held for Sale

 

On December 9, 2022, The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with SRM Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM”) to govern the separation of SRM from the Company. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of SRM the Company. The separation as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, on May 31, 2023, SRM issued to the Company 6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock (representing 79.3% of SRM’s outstanding shares of Common Stock) in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM) (the “Share Exchange”). On August 14, 2023, SRM consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRM’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, the Company owns 4.5 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company has reclassified all of the assets and liabilities of SRM held prior to the to the Share Exchange as assets and liabilities held for sale.

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company had no assets or liabilities held for sale. At December 31, 2022, the Company had current assets held for sale totaling $611,316, long term assets held for sale totaling $1,242,803 and liabilities held for sale totaling $593,192.

Trading Securities

 

Securities that the Company intends to sell are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

F-7

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or through a distributor (collectively the “customers”).

 

The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, 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:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
     
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
     
  determine the transaction price;
     
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

 

Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. During the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized no allowance for doubtful collections.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.

 

We conducted an evaluation of our goodwill as of December 31, 2022 and there was no impairment in the year ended December 31, 2022. Dring the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company spun-off its wholly-owned subsidiary SRM Entertainment Ltd. which was the source for its goodwill. As a result, the Company had no goodwill at September 30, 2022. (see Note 8).

 

Intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade names, purchased technology, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from one to twenty years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets. We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.

 

The Company’s evaluation of its long-lived assets resulted in an impairment expense of $1,450,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022 and no impairment during the Nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Cumulative gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the Nine months September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were not material.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $98,091 and $128,241 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant- date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

On October 24, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year which would be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2022 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $7,110,329 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $7,110,329. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases” was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

On August 6, 2020, the Company, Messrs. John and Miller and certain affiliated entities filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against Robert Koch, Bedford Investment Partners, LLC, Kaizen Advisors, LLC and certain other unnamed defendants. The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Koch and the other defendants were attempting to extort the Company and Messrs. John and Miller to issue the defendants shares of the Company’s common stock which they claim are owed to them. The Company asserted that they have no oral or written agreement with Mr. Koch or any of his affiliates that entitle him to shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s complaint seeks actual damages in the amount of $5,000,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $5,000,000. In response, Mr. Koch and Bedford Investment Partners, LLC (together, the “Koch Parties”) filed their answer and counterclaim, repeating the same claims that caused the Company to file the lawsuit, and claiming damages of over $10 million. On October 6, 2020, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings to dismiss the defendants’ counterclaim in its entirety. On April 24, 2021, the Company’s motion was granted, and all counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice, except the breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment claims. On June 04, 2021, the Koch Parties filed a Second Amended Counterclaim, re-alleging their previous breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment counterclaims. On June 25, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss defendants’ Second Amended Counterclaim, which the parties briefed in summer 2021. On February 14, 2022, the court dismissed all of the Koch Parties’ counterclaims except to the extent that they alleged unjust enrichment against Jupiter and Mr. John. On March 22, 2022, the Parties engaged in a Settlement Conference before The Honorable Sarah L. Cave, which did not resolve the case. On March 25, 2022, The Honorable Lewis J. Liman granted Jupiter and Mr. John permission to move for summary judgment dismissing the Koch Parties’ unjust enrichment counterclaim; the parties briefed that motion in spring 2022. On January 30, 2023, Judge Liman largely granted Jupiter and Mr. Koch’s motion, eliminating all of the Koch Parties’ remedy theories except for their restitution claim for transferring the domain www.cbdbrands.net to Jupiter. In doing so, Judge Liman suggested that a jury could find that the Koch Parties would be fully compensated if the parties simply unwound the domain transfer, or that the jury might quantify the website’s value by looking to the amounts that the Koch Parties had paid for other, similar websites: between $12.17 and $65.98. After Judge Liman issued this order, the Parties settled all claims and Jupiter and Mr. John filed a proposed order of dismissal of all claims with prejudice. Under the order, Jupiter did not pay any amount in settlement of the claims. On February 17, 2023, Judge Liman so-ordered that proposed order and closed the case.

General Overview

 

Safety Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023 the Company acquired certain assets of GBB Drink Lab Inc which included the blood alcohol detox drink Safety Shot, an over-the-counter drink that can lower blood alcohol content to allow recovery from the effects of alcohol at a rate faster than would occur normally. Concurrently with the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company launched Safety Shot in December 2023.

 

Safety Shot has a well-established clinical development infrastructure and fits within the Company’s existing over-the-counter and prescription-grade health and wellness products. The Company will continue its current products line as an operating division and is committed to supporting health and wellness by developing innovative solutions to a range of conditions. We take pride in our research and development of over-the-counter (OTC) products and intellectual property, which aim to address some of the most prevalent health and wellness concerns today. Our product pipeline includes a diverse range of products, such as hair loss treatments, eczema creams, vitiligo solutions, and sexual wellness products, that cater to different health and wellness needs. We are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest scientific research and technology, ensuring that our products are effective, safe, and meet the highest industry standards.

 

To achieve our mission, we rely on a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are committed to advancing our vision of health and wellness. Our team includes scientists, researchers, product developers, and business experts who collaborate to create new products and enhance existing ones. We also partner with industry leaders and organizations to leverage the latest technologies and expand our reach.

 

We generate revenue through various channels, including the sales of our OTC and consumer products, as well as licensing royalties. Our products are available through various retailers and e-commerce platforms, making them accessible to a broad customer base. Additionally, we collaborate with other companies to license our intellectual property, creating additional revenue streams and expanding our global presence.

 

We signed agreements to license JW-700 to Taisho, a $2.6 billion revenue company and Japan’s leading seller of minoxidil products. Taisho plans on launching the product commercially in 2024. In India, the Company signed an agreement with Cosmofix Technovation Pvt Ltd and Sanpellegrino Cosmetics to license its JW-700 and Photocil products. Additional licensing opportunities for these products are being pursued primarily in overseas markets.

 

Products Roadmap

 

Safety Shot launched initially online and through Amazon in the near future and plans to launch in Big Box stores in 2024.

 

The Company is advancing several formulations to address psoriasis and vitiligo (Photocil), increase the effectiveness of minoxidil to treat hair loss (JW-700 “minoxidil booster”), women’s sexual wellness (JW-500), and jellyfish sting prevention sunscreen (NoStingz), and atopic dermatitis/eczema (JW- 110).

 

Photocil was launched commercially in India in Q3 2022 as a treatment for vitiligo and psoriasis. Photocil is a topical cream that works with natural sunlight to provide patients with safe and effective phototherapy at home by blocking harmful radiation and permitting the passage of therapeutic UV radiation from the sun.

 

NoStingz provides an effective barrier against the stinging mechanism of jellyfish cnidocyte preventing the delivery of venom to the victim. Applied like other topical sun screen products, the product is clinically proven to protect users from jellyfish, sea lice, and UVA/UVB rays.

 

JW-700, currently being licensed abroad and developed for US launch, the product has been clinically shown to increase the enzymes needed for minoxidil to work, sulfotransferase enzymes, by using the product topically in conjunction with topical minoxidil. Additional studies and formulation work are ongoing.

 

JW-500 was born out of clinical trials designed to establish a topical treatment for the restoration of nipple sensitivity for breast augmentation patients, in addition to patients who had undergone chemotherapy or lumpectomy surgery following a cancer diagnosis. During early studies, women reported not only increased sensitivity but also increased libido. The Company plans to file for a pre-IND meeting with the US FDA and seek Orphan Drug Designation. An expedited 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for development is being considered as the current formulation contains an already approved drug.

Research and Development

 

Our research and development team in continually looking to develop new therapeutic products, while continually improving and enhancing our existing products and product candidates to address customer demands and emerging trends. Our team is currently working to further improve the protection provided by NoStingz and develop more effective formulas for our JW-700 product.

 

We have conducted extensive research and experimentation involving a substantial number of subjects under the influence of intoxicants. Our findings indicate that the Safety Shot drink has proven to reduce alcohol absorption. Furthermore, in diverse cases, it has demonstrated a reduction in Blood Alcohol Content, as measured by the premier Breathalyzer in the market. The observable enhancements in cognitive abilities among the test subjects have been meticulously documented.

 

The Company engaged Angelshark Consulting, LLC to conduct a Safety Shot product test, which took place on September 15, 2023. The investigation aimed to explore the impact of Safety Shot on blood alcohol content (BAC) during a controlled event where volunteer participants consumed alcoholic beverages. The study encompassed various Various motor skill Assessments, including breathalyzer assessments, evaluations of energy levels and speech, as well as tests related to participants’ ability to touch their nose. The informal study suggested that Safety Shot significantly reduced %BAC. However, confounding factors, such as the timing of breathalyzer tests, food consumption, and water intake during the 30-minute interval after Safety Shot administration, were acknowledged, indicating the need for further controlled research.

 

Furthermore, the study delved into the effects of Safety Shot on energy levels and speech. While there was a reported increase in energy levels after Safety Shot administration, the sample size was considered insufficient for robust statistical analysis. Speech tests indicated a slight reduction in mistakes, with confounding variables such as participants’ familiarity with tongue twisters being noted. Despite positive indications, the report emphasized the necessity for more research under controlled conditions to validate Safety Shot’s effects on BAC, energy levels, and motor skill functionality. The study concluded with recommendations for refining the product taste and addressing confounding elements in future research.

 

In October 2023, the Company commissioned the Center for Applied Health Sciences (CAHS) in Canfield, Ohio, to serve as its primary Contracted Research Organization (CRO) for a study titled: “Effects of a Multi-Ingredient Supplement Consisting of Vitamins, Minerals, and Botanicals in Healthy Subjects on Various Psychometric and Physiologic Indices of Affect After Moderate Alcohol Consumption.” The study will involve a minimum of 36 subjects who have been thoroughly screened (healthy individuals of legal drinking age) to participate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover-designed investigation examining the impacts of alcohol both before and after the consumption of Safety Shot. Subjects will be randomly assigned either the drink itself or a placebo, following a specific protocol to induce blood alcohol elevation. Measurements, including breathalyzer and blood drawings, will be conducted to determine blood alcohol concentration (BAC), various psychomotor skill abilities, diverse health and wellness markers, and urinalysis markers assessing how alcohol is metabolized and its effects on mental clarity. Subjects will return after a one-week washout period for re-testing with the exact protocols but will be given the alternative sample. Throughout the study, a physician will be present to monitor the proceedings. Subjects will not be allowed to operate their own vehicles and will be provided with transportation. A third-party organization (Substantiation Sciences Inc. in Weston, FL) has been appointed to audit the entire study, ensuring accuracy and adherence to the protocol.

 

The study has received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for studies involving human subjects, and recruitment is currently underway. Subjects are anticipated to undergo baseline assessments and health screenings starting next week, with the actual testing protocol commencing in the following days. The study is projected to extend over several months in the event that the minimum required number of participants (36) is not attained promptly. Preliminary results will be available shortly after, with subsequent submission to various research journals determined by the science team.

The Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Discontinued Operations requiring entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. Effective August 14, 2023, the Company sold SRM Entertainment Ltd, (“SRM”) a previously wholly owned subsidiary. Financial statements preceding the effective date of the sale have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM are reflected a discontinued operation.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements for the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Investments Held-to-Maturity

 

Investments that the Company’s management has the “positive intent and ability” to hold through maturity are classified and accounted for as hold- to-maturity investments (“HTM”). HTM investments are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. For investments classified as HTM, no unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in financial statements.

 

Assets and liabilities Held for Sale

 

On December 9, 2022, The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with SRM Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM”) to govern the separation of SRM from the Company. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of SRM the Company. The separation as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, on May 31, 2023, SRM issued to the Company 6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock (representing 79.3% of SRM’s outstanding shares of Common Stock) in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM) (the “Share Exchange”). On August 14, 2023, SRM consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRM’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, the Company owns 4.5 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company has reclassified all of the assets and liabilities of SRM held prior to the to the Share Exchange as assets and liabilities held for sale.

 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had current assets held for sale totaling $611,316 and 322,525, respectively, long term assets held for sale totaling $1,242,803 and $1,313,735 and liabilities held for sale totaling $593,192 and $647,055, respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).

 

The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, 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:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
     
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
     
  determine the transaction price;
     
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
     
  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on an FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

 

Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had not recognized an allowance for doubtful collections.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were not material.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.

 

Debt Extinguishment and Modification

 

Any changes or modification to debt instruments must be examined to determine if the modification has any significant effect. If the changes or modifications are material, the change or modification must be accounted for as an extinguishment. If determined to be an extinguishment, the change or modification to the original debt is derecognized and a new debt is recognized. Any difference in the fair value is recognized as a gain or loss on extinguishment.

 

Deconsolidation

 

The Company will use Deconsolidation Accounting upon the loss of control of a subsidiary determined to be less than 50% owned. Upon deconsolidation, the Company will no longer present the subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. If the Company owns more than 20% but less than 50% the Company will continue to report under the Equity Method.

 

Equity Method for Investments

 

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.

 

Asset Purchases

 

The Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method, under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection with an asset purchase.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s Marketable Securities are considered Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities are valued at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded periodically on financial reporting dates as other income or loss.

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to our financial position. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2022 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $7,110,329 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $7,110,329. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $98,091.24 and $128,241 for the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

On October 24, 2018, the inception date (“Inception”), we adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

 

Related parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases” was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company’s desired disclosure control objectives. In designing periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company’s certifying officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective this quarter in reaching that level of assurance as evidenced by the number and magnitude of adjustments made by our external auditors.

 

At the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to the Company, based on the assessment and control of disclosure decisions currently performed by a small team. The Company plans to expand its management team and build a fulsome internal control framework required by a more complex entity.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the past three months and previous fiscal year, we implemented significant measures to remediate the previously disclosed ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which included an insufficient degree of segregation of duties amongst our accounting and financial reporting personnel, and the lack of a formalized and complete set of policy and procedure documentation evidencing our system of internal controls over financial reporting. The remediation measures consisted of the hiring of individuals with appropriate experience in internal controls over financial reporting, and the modification of our accounting processes and enhancement to our financial controls, including the testing of such controls.

 

Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management has confidence in its internal controls and procedures. The Company’s management believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal 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 limitation in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Organization and Business Operations

Note 1 – Organization and Business Operations

 

Safety Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023 the Company acquired certain assets of GBB Drink Lab Inc which included the blood alcohol detox drink Safety Shot, an over-the-counter drink that can lower blood alcohol content to allow recovery from the effects of alcohol at a rate faster than would occur normally. Concurrently with the purchase, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company launched Safety Shot in December 2023.

 

Safety Shot has a well-established clinical development infrastructure and fits within the Company’s existing over-the-counter and prescription-grade health and wellness products. The Company will continue its current products line as an operating division and is committed to supporting health and wellness by developing innovative solutions to a range of conditions. We take pride in our research and development of over-the-counter (OTC) products and intellectual property, which aim to address some of the most prevalent health and wellness concerns today. Our product pipeline includes a diverse range of products, such as hair loss treatments, eczema creams, vitiligo solutions, and sexual wellness products, that cater to different health and wellness needs. We are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest scientific research and technology, ensuring that our products are effective, safe, and meet the highest industry standards.

 

To achieve our mission, we rely on a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are committed to advancing our vision of health and wellness. Our team includes scientists, researchers, product developers, and business experts who collaborate to create new products and enhance existing ones. We also partner with industry leaders and organizations to leverage the latest technologies and expand our reach.

 

We generate revenue through various channels, including the sales of our OTC and consumer products, as well as licensing royalties. Our products are available through various retailers and e-commerce platforms, making them accessible to a broad customer base. Additionally, we collaborate with other companies to license our intellectual property, creating additional revenue streams and expanding our global presence.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficits of $60,003,740 and $50,597,674, respectively, and cash flow used in operations of $5,182,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $6,448,078 and $6,523,441 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $4,387,797 and $1,477,552, respectively, in cash and working capital of $3,902,697 and $2,245,979, respectively. These conditions have raised doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as noted by our auditors, M&K CPAS, PLLC.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jupiter Wellness, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Jupiter Wellness Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation at September 30. 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Discontinued Operations requiring entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. Effective August 14, 2023, the Company sold SRM Entertainment Ltd, (“SRM”) a previously wholly owned subsidiary. Financial statements preceding the effective date of the sale have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM are reflected a discontinued operation.

 

Debt Extinguishment and Modification

 

Any changes or modification to debt instruments must be examined to determine if the modification has any significant effect. If the changes or modifications are material, the change or modification must be accounted for as an extinguishment. If determined to be an extinguishment, the change or modification to the original debt is derecognized and a new debt is recognized. Any difference in the fair value is recognized as a gain or loss on extinguishment.

 

Deconsolidation

 

The Company will use Deconsolidation Accounting upon the loss of control of a subsidiary determined to be less than 50% owned. Upon deconsolidation, the Company will no longer present the subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. If the Company owns more than 20% but less than 50% the Company will continue to report under the Equity Method.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Discontinued Operations requiring entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. Effective August 14, 2023, the Company sold SRM Entertainment Ltd, (“SRM”) a wholly owned subsidiary. Financial statements preceding the effective date of the sale have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM are reflected a discontinued operation.

 

Equity Method for Investments

 

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.

 

Asset Purchases

 

The Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method, under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection with an asset purchase.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s Marketable Securities are considered Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities are valued at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded periodically on financial reporting dates as other income or loss.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write- offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting. During the Nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had expired inventory write-downs of $23,794. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that certain of our inventory items were either slow moving, expired or discontinued. As a result, the Company wrote-off a total of $152,432 of inventory, consisting of raw materials of $23,623, finished goods of $123,094 and packaging of $5,715 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Investments Held-to-Maturity

 

Investments that the Company’s management has the “positive intent and ability” to hold through maturity are classified and accounted for as hold-to- maturity investments (“HTM”). HTM investments are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. For investments classified as HTM, no unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in financial statements.

 

Assets and liabilities Held for Sale

 

On December 9, 2022, The Company entered into a stock exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with SRM Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM”) to govern the separation of SRM from the Company. On May 26, 2023, we amended and restated the Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to include additional information regarding the distribution and the separation of SRM the Company. The separation as set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement with Jupiter closed August 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, on May 31, 2023, SRM issued to the Company 6,500,000 shares of SRM Common Stock (representing 79.3% of SRM’s outstanding shares of Common Stock) in exchange for 2 ordinary shares of SRM Ltd owned by the Company (representing all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SRM) (the “Share Exchange”). On August 14, 2023, SRM consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), pursuant to which it sold 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRM’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, the Company owns 4.5 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company has reclassified all of the assets and liabilities of SRM held prior to the to the Share Exchange as assets and liabilities held for sale.

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company had no assets or liabilities held for sale. At December 31, 2022, the Company had current assets held for sale totaling $611,316, long term assets held for sale totaling $1,242,803 and liabilities held for sale totaling $593,192.

Trading Securities

 

Securities that the Company intends to sell are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or through a distributor (collectively the “customers”).

 

The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, 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:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
     
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
     
  determine the transaction price;
     
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

 

Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. During the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized no allowance for doubtful collections.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.

 

We conducted an evaluation of our goodwill as of December 31, 2022 and there was no impairment in the year ended December 31, 2022. Dring the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company spun-off its wholly-owned subsidiary SRM Entertainment Ltd. which was the source for its goodwill. As a result, the Company had no goodwill at September 30, 2022. (see Note 8).

 

Intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade names, purchased technology, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from one to twenty years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets. We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.

 

The Company’s evaluation of its long-lived assets resulted in an impairment expense of $1,450,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022 and no impairment during the Nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Cumulative gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the Nine months September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were not material.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $98,091 and $128,241 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant- date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

On October 24, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year which would be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2022 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $7,110,329 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $7,110,329. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Related parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements.

Reclassifications

 

Certain current and prior period balances have been adjusted to reflect current period presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases” was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a $1,500,000 Loan Agreement and a $500,000 Loan Agreement (collectively the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company issued two Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amounts of $1,500,000 and $500,000 (the “Notes”). In connection with the Notes the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants for 1,100,000 shares and 360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The Notes originally had a maturity date of October 20, 2022, but has been extended to January 31, 2024. In connection with the Notes, the Company issued a total of 250,000 shares as Origination Shares valued at fair market value of $277,500. There is no beneficial conversion feature since the conversion price is greater then the fair value of the shares.

 

The Notes have an original issuance discount of five percent (5%), $10,000 in legal fees, an interest rate of eight percent (8%), and a conversion price of $2.79 per share, subject to an adjustment downward if the Company is in default of the terms of the Notes. The Warrants have a five (5) year term, an exercise price of $2.79 per share, have a cashless conversion feature until such time as the shares underlying the Warrants are included in an effective registration and certain anti-dilution protection.

 

The fair value of origination shares and warrants issued in connection with the 2022 Note totals $984,477.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal balances of the Company’s convertible promissory notes activity for the year and three months ended September 30, 2023:

 

Principal Balance, December 31, 2021  $ - 
The Notes  2,000,000 
Principal Balance, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022  $2,000,000 

 

Interest expense for the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 on the Notes totals $118,359. Total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, totaled $1,286,368 which includes $1,104,477 amortization of the origination shares and warrants discounts in connection with the Notes.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Notes were amended to change the conversion price of the Notes and exercise price of all outstanding warrants was reduced to $0.93 pursuant to down round protection provisions in the loan and warrant agreements and to extend the Notes to January 31, 2024. The change on the Notes conversion rate was a change from $2.79 and the change to the outstanding warrants exercise price was on 500,000 warrants with $6.00 price, 1,460,000 at $2.79 and 800,000 at $1.00. The amendment is considered a material modification of the Notes and the Company has used extinguishment accounting to account for the change. The fair value of the additional shares underlying the Note conversion and warrant exercise using the reduced conversion and exercise price was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the conversion feature totals $923,603 and the fair value of the warrants totals $196,730. The total loss on extinguishment of $1,120,333 has been included in other gains and losses.

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

On August 6, 2020, the Company, Messrs. John and Miller and certain affiliated entities filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against Robert Koch, Bedford Investment Partners, LLC, Kaizen Advisors, LLC and certain other unnamed defendants. The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Koch and the other defendants were attempting to extort the Company and Messrs. John and Miller to issue the defendants shares of the Company’s common stock which they claim are owed to them. The Company asserted that they have no oral or written agreement with Mr. Koch or any of his affiliates that entitle him to shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s complaint seeks actual damages in the amount of $5,000,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $5,000,000. In response, Mr. Koch and Bedford Investment Partners, LLC (together, the “Koch Parties”) filed their answer and counterclaim, repeating the same claims that caused the Company to file the lawsuit, and claiming damages of over $10 million. On October 6, 2020, the Company moved for judgment on the pleadings to dismiss the defendants’ counterclaim in its entirety. On April 24, 2021, the Company’s motion was granted, and all counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice, except the breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment claims. On June 04, 2021, the Koch Parties filed a Second Amended Counterclaim, re-alleging their previous breach-of-contract and unjust enrichment counterclaims. On June 25, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss defendants’ Second Amended Counterclaim, which the parties briefed in summer 2021. On February 14, 2022, the court dismissed all of the Koch Parties’ counterclaims except to the extent that they alleged unjust enrichment against Jupiter and Mr. John. On March 22, 2022, the Parties engaged in a Settlement Conference before The Honorable Sarah L. Cave, which did not resolve the case. On March 25, 2022, The Honorable Lewis J. Liman granted Jupiter and Mr. John permission to move for summary judgment dismissing the Koch Parties’ unjust enrichment counterclaim; the parties briefed that motion in spring 2022. On January 30, 2023, Judge Liman largely granted Jupiter and Mr. Koch’s motion, eliminating all of the Koch Parties’ remedy theories except for their restitution claim for transferring the domain www.cbdbrands.net to Jupiter. In doing so, Judge Liman suggested that a jury could find that the Koch Parties would be fully compensated if the parties simply unwound the domain transfer, or that the jury might quantify the website’s value by looking to the amounts that the Koch Parties had paid for other, similar websites: between $12.17 and $65.98. After Judge Liman issued this order, the Parties settled all claims and Jupiter and Mr. John filed a proposed order of dismissal of all claims with prejudice. Under the order, Jupiter did not pay any amount in settlement of the claims. On February 17, 2023, Judge Liman so-ordered that proposed order and closed the case.

Debt Extinguishment and Modification

 

Any changes or modification to debt instruments must be examined to determine if the modification has any significant effect. If the changes or modifications are material, the change or modification must be accounted for as an extinguishment. If determined to be an extinguishment, the change or modification to the original debt is derecognized and a new debt is recognized. Any difference in the fair value is recognized as a gain or loss on extinguishment.

 

Deconsolidation

The Company will use Deconsolidation Accounting upon the loss of control of a subsidiary determined to be less than 50% owned. Upon deconsolidation, the Company will no longer present the subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. If the Company owns more than 20% but less than 50% the Company will continue to report under the Equity Method.

 

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 Discontinued Operations requiring entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position. Effective August 14, 2023, the Company sold SRM Entertainment Ltd, (“SRM”) a wholly owned subsidiary. Financial statements preceding the effective date of the sale have been reclassified to reflect the respective SRM assets and liabilities as being held for sale and the operations of SRM are reflected a discontinued operation.

 

Equity Method for Investments

Equity Method for Investments

 

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.

 

Asset Purchases

Asset Purchases

 

The Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method, under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection with an asset purchase.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s Marketable Securities are considered Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities are valued at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded periodically on financial reporting dates as other income or loss.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Inventory

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write- offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting. During the Nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had expired inventory write-downs of $23,794. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that certain of our inventory items were either slow moving, expired or discontinued.

Investments Held-to-Maturity

Investments Held-to-Maturity

 

Investments that the Company’s management has the “positive intent and ability” to hold through maturity are classified and accounted for as hold-to- maturity investments (“HTM”). HTM investments are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. For investments classified as HTM, no unrealized gains and losses will be recognized in financial statements.

In connection with the Share Exchange and SRM’s IPO, the Company distributed 2,000,000 shares of SRM’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders and certain warrant holders (out of the 6.5 million shares issued in May 2023) which occurred on the effective date of the Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the IPO. Following such distribution, the Company owns 4.5 million of the 9,450,000 shares of common stock outstanding and SRM is now a minority owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company has reclassified all of the assets and liabilities of SRM held prior to the to the Share Exchange as assets and liabilities held for sale.

 

At September 30, 2023, the Company had no assets or liabilities held for sale. At December 31, 2022, the Company had current assets held for sale totaling $611,316, long term assets held for sale totaling $1,242,803 and liabilities held for sale totaling $593,192.

Trading Securities

Trading Securities

 

Securities that the Company intends to sell are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or through a distributor (collectively the “customers”).

 

The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, 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:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
     
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
     
  determine the transaction price;
     
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.

 

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

 

Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. During the Nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized no allowance for doubtful collections.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The discounted cash flow approach uses expected future operating results. Failure to achieve these expected results may cause a future impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit.

 

We conducted an evaluation of our goodwill as of December 31, 2022 and there was no impairment in the year ended December 31, 2022. Dring the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company spun-off its wholly-owned subsidiary SRM Entertainment Ltd. which was the source for its goodwill. As a result, the Company had no goodwill at September 30, 2022. (see Note 8).

 

Intangible assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade names, purchased technology, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from one to twenty years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets. We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.

 

The Company’s evaluation of its long-lived assets resulted in an impairment expense of $1,450,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022 and no impairment during the Nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Cumulative gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the Nine months September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were not material.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $98,091 and $128,241 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant- date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

On October 24, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

 

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year which would be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2022 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $7,110,329 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $7,110,329. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020, although early adoption is permitted (but no sooner than the adoption of Topic 606). The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In February 2016, Topic 842, “Leases” was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, “Leases”. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

Capital structure, description   the Company submitted a final compliance plan to Nasdaq consisting of the following corrective actions: (1) on July 20, 2022, the Company’s four executive officers (Messrs. John, Miller, and McKinnon and Dr. Wilson), all of whom are on the Company’s Board of Directors except for Mr. McKinnon, each cancelled 2,750 options issued to them in August 2021 pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option Forfeiture Agreement. The cancellation of the 11,000 options in total enabled the issuance of 11,000 shares to a non-executive employee that took place in 2021 to be reallocated to be accounted for as if it was originally issued under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution on July 25, 2022, making the corresponding change to the Company’s books and records with regard to the 11,000 shares; and (2) on July 26, 2022, the same four executive officers, returned, and the Company cancelled, a total of 56,496 shares of common stock issued to them in 2021 outside of a shareholder approved equity compensation plan.
