KISSES FROM ITALY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Kisses From Italy Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following ten months. All locations, which were in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to a hurricane and has not re-opened that location. In June 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. The Bari location closed in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly re-opened and has not re-opened as of the date of this Report. Such a location was intended to serve as the distribution center for future products for European locations, as well as to be used as a training facility for European franchises. However, this initiative has been severely curtailed due to the onset and lingering impact of Covid-19 in Europe.
In June 2021 and November 2021, the Company opened its first two franchise locations in Chino, California and Montreal, Canada, respectively. Since the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees at both locations so that the franchisees could establish operations at each of those locations.
The Company’s accounting year-end is December 31.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic has had a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and we believe, the US’s response to the pandemic has significantly affected the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.
Except for our Bari location which remains closed, our US locations are now open and are operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses From Italy 9th LLC, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada) (a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020), and Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS (a limited liability company incorporated in Italy), and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
| 8 |
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and as of December 31, 2022, filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of the face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our
trade receivables amounted to $
Other Receivables
Other receivables are comprised of two components, a receivable from a franchisee, and a receivable from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”).
ERC Credits
The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers
to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the coronavirus
outbreak. The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000 for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained
from March 13, 2020, to December 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The
Company qualifies as an employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the Company’s gross receipts fell
below 50% for the same quarter in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company
had ERC credits receivable of $
| 9 |
Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”) VAT
is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”),
applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the
VAT tax ranges between 4% and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Company
had a VAT net receivable from its Bari location amounting to $-
Franchisee Receivable
In order to assist the Company’s franchisee
in California, the Company extended a $22,000 demand loan at a 1% interest rate to the franchisee. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31,
2022 the balance on the franchisee receivable was $
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari location.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurs.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represent franchise revenue; and food and beverage products sold which is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue is recognized using the five step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606:
1. Identify the contract with the client,
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
3. Determine the transaction price,
4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
| 10 |
At the corporate owned restaurants all five steps of revenue recognition occur almost simultaneously. The customer orders food from a menu, it is prepared, delivered to the customer who then pays for the food order at the cash register. Our restaurant business represented approximately 90-95% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and three months ended March 31, 2023.
For our branded retail products goods sold in Canada, the Company receives a detailed purchase order from grocery store retailers that specifies the goods ordered, their price, payment terms and the required delivery date. Once the delivery of items on the purchase order is made to the client and title passes to the retailer, the Company has met its performance obligation and recognizes revenue.
Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the
Company’s cash equivalents totaled $
Property and equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
| Computers, software, and office equipment | |
| Machinery and equipment | |
| Leasehold improvements |
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
| 11 |
On December 18, 2019, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain areas of GAAP without compromising information provided to users of financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to
determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative
instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting
period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash
settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2023 and December
31, 2022, the balance of the derivative liability was $
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and emerging growth company and has a calendar-year end, the Company was eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to January 1, 2022.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted
ASU 2016-02 related solely to operating leases at our store locations. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition
of right of use operating lease assets and right of use operating lease liabilities of approximately $
| 12 |
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of wholesale food inventory
at our retail operations. The value of the food at our US locations is very minimal at any one time and is charged to cost of sales as
soon as it arrives at the store. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we wrote off
$1,951 alcoholic beverage inventory since the Bari location had been closed since the onset of Covid in March 2020. The balance of inventory
on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Due to the Company’s net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, all of its outstanding stock options, warrants, and shares issuable if convertible notes or Preferred C shares was converted to common stock; are all considered anti-dilutive. The number of these anti-dilutive equivalents was not calculated and are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and financial statement disclosures.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2023 the Company had cash on
hand of $
Management has concluded that these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

The Company considered the current FASB guidance of “Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability of whether or not within the issuers’ control means the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion prices of the Notes were not a fixed amount because they were either subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events or the conversion price was variable. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance.

A summary of the material provisions of the Certificate of Designation governing the Series A Stock, the Series B Stock and the Series C Stock is as follows:
Series A Stock
The Series A Stock is not convertible. Each share of Series A Stock shall entitle the holder to three hundred votes for each share of Series A Stock.

The Board has the authorization to establish a minimum price for the conversion price of the Series B Stock (so that if the market price of the common stock of the Company drops below the issuance price, the conversion rate will then be based on the minimum price established by the Board and not the price paid for the shares). The holders of Series B Stock shall not be entitled to voting rights except as otherwise provided by applicable law. The holders of Series B Stock are not entitled to dividends until and unless determined by the Board.
Liquidation Preference
The holders of Series B Stock shall not be entitled to any distributions upon a liquidation of the Company.

The holders of Series C Stock are not entitled to dividends until and unless determined by the Board.
Liquidation Preference
Upon any liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series C Stock shall be entitled to the amount paid for the shares of Series C Stock prior to the holders of shares ranking junior to the Series C Stock. Upon the holders of the Series C Stock and any series of stock ranking pari passu with the Series C Stock having received distributions to which they are entitled, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the other holders pro rata in proportion to the shares held by each holder.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.

We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Overview
Kisses From Italy Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on March 7, 2013, with a focus on developing a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business.
The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kisses From Italy 9th LLC, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada) (a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020), and Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS (a limited liability company incorporated in Italy), and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.
We commenced operations by opening our initial corporate-owned restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in May 2015. By April 2016, we opened three additional restaurants located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma caused significant damage to the area, which resulted in Wyndham halting operations at its hotel properties for repairs and renovations and the closure of our Wyndham hotel locations. In December 2017, we vacated one of our restaurants in the Wyndham Hotel properties due to damage from the hurricane and have not re-opened such restaurant. During the first half of 2021, we consolidated the remaining two Wyndham stores into one location.
While our Fort Lauderdale location was reopened in early November 2017, we were only able to reopen two of the hotel locations in Pompano Beach in late January 2018. We also elected not to reopen our fourth location, as the damages were too excessive. If we can raise additional capital, of which there is no assurance, we intend to own and operate up to 10 restaurants and utilize them as a showcase in the marketing of our proposed franchise operations.
In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise License which permits us to sell franchises in all of the states in the United States except for New York, Virginia, and Maryland, which licenses we hope to obtain if sufficient demand exists in the future.
We opened our first European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. The Bari location closed in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly re-opened and has not re-opened as of the date of this Report. Such location was intended to serve as the distribution center for products for European locations, as well as to be used as a training facility for European franchises. However, this initiative has been severely curtailed due to the onset and lingering impact of Covid -19 in Europe.
Our two corporate-owned restaurants, one located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and one within the Wyndham location in Pompano Beach, Florida, have fully re-opened without limitation or any social distancing requirement.
In September 2019, the Company's common stock was approved for trading by FINRA and in October 2019 was approved for uplisting by the OTC Markets Group to the OTCQB under the symbol “KITL”.
| 20 |
In June of 2020, the Company entered into a multi-unit development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) pursuant to which it granted development rights to Demasar Management, Inc. (“Demasar”) to open and operate up to 100 restaurants in Canada. Under this Development Agreement, the developer is obligated to open a minimum of 20 restaurants by June 17, 2025. On November 20, 2021, we opened a franchise location under the Development Agreement in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Company expects to generate franchise fees from its franchise locations once the franchises become established.
In September of 2020, we entered retail food and grocery stores with Kisses From Italy branded products in Canada. The product launch began in November of 2020 and Kisses From Italy branded products were in nine retail stores by the end of 2020. Currently, Kisses From Italy branded products are in 40 stores across Ontario and Quebec, Canada.
In April of 2021, we entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Fransmart, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fransmart”), pursuant to which we engaged Fransmart as our exclusive global franchise developer and representative for a period of ten years.
In June of 2021, the Company’s first franchise location opened in Chino, California. In November of 2021, the Company opened its second franchise location in Montreal, Canada.
On March 9, 2022, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of its authorized common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares. Such action was approved by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2022 and a majority of the Company’s shareholders on January 27, 2022. The purpose of the share increase was to make available additional shares of common stock to meet the current obligations of the Company to issue common stock, including under outstanding convertible securities.
On April 11, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 6, 2022, (the “Talos Purchase Agreement”) with Talos Victory Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Talos”), pursuant to which the Company issued to Talos a promissory note in the principal amount of $165,000 (the “Talos Note”). The Company received $148,500 gross proceeds from Talos due to the original issue discount on the Talos Note. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Talos Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Talos Note, the Company issued to Talos 500,000 commitment shares and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,650,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
Recent Developments
The Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement, effective as of March 1, 2023 (the “SAA”), with SC Culinary LLC, a New York limited liability company (“SC Culinary”).
SC Culinary is currently the creator and owner of, and in possession of, a quick-service food concept (the “Concept”) and is developing and will develop all intellectual property rights related to the Concept (the “Intellectual Property Rights”), all of which were or will be developed or acquired by SC Culinary, independently, or assigned to it by Scott Conant. Scott Conant, who owns all rights in and to his name, voice, image, and likeness (the “NIL Rights”), has granted SC Culinary the exclusive right to license the NIL Rights to third parties.
Pursuant to the SAA, SC Culinary will license its interest in the Concept, the Intellectual Property Rights, and the NIL Rights (collectively, the “License”) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to be established (the “Subsidiary”) for the purpose of developing the Concept into the business of the Subsidiary (the “Brand”).
In consideration for the use of the License under the SAA, SC Culinary is entitled to receive certain minimum cash payments and restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) upon the achievement of certain milestones. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of the Shares to SC Culinary is subject to anti-dilution protection, wherein the Company shall issue SC Culinary additional shares of common stock in order to maintain the percentage owned by SC Culinary in the Company at the time of the issuance.
| 21 |
The SAA terminates on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date but may automatically renew for successive five (5) year periods unless either party provides ninety (90) days’ notice of termination.
SC Culinary is entitled to terminate the SAA in the event of default by the Company and the Subsidiary. In the event of termination, SC Culinary shall have the absolute right to cause the Subsidiary and the Company to cease to operate the Brand except for the limited purposes of honoring existing franchise agreements. In such an event, SC Culinary will grant the Subsidiary a limited license to use the Brand and SC Culinary’s rights in the Intellectual Property solely in connection with and for the term of the existing franchise agreements (with no further rights of expansion).
In the event that SC Culinary terminates the SAA for any reason, SC Culinary shall have the sole and absolute right to use, exploit and operate the Brand and all Intellectual Property separate and apart from the Company without the payment of any amounts or other consideration to the Company, the Subsidiary or relevant third parties or the need for the approval of any kind from the Company or relevant third parties.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022
Revenue and Cost of Sales
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $115,460 compared to $97,287 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were comprised of $112,149 in food sales and $3,310 in retail sales, compared to food sales of $91,838 in food sales and $5,989 in sales of branded products to retail locations in Canada during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to slightly higher demand for the Company’s products.
Cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2023, $58,871 was compared to $45,176 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This is attributable to higher sales volumes and offset by an increase in food price in 2023 compared to the 2022 period.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses were $531,283 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $203,450 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Non-cash stock-based compensation was $206,700 and $5,170, for the periods ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, respectively. Excluding the stock-based compensation in both periods, operating expenses were $324,583 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $198,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This is primarily attributable to an increase in all general and administrative categories of approximately $30,000 primarily due to inflationary increases, and an increase consulting expenses of approximately $89,000 primarily due to expenses associated with the SC Culinary transaction.
Other income and expense
Other expenses comprised of interest expense, financing fees, loss on the extinguishment of debt, and derivative liabilities were $477,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2,293 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the 2023 period is attributable to the issuance of 6,000,000 commitment shares issued to lenders valued at $198,000 and due to the loss of $168,060 on the extinguishment of dent and a change of $66,342 on derivative liabilities.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $952,381 and a net loss of $950,498 attributable to non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of $153,094 and a net loss of $2,889 attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
| 22 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 31, 2023, we had $34,255 in cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash used in operating activities was $290,238 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash used of $119,390 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to significantly increased losses in 2023 period.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to proceeds of $5,000 in 2022 for the sale of Preferred C stock compared to $-0- during the 2023 period.
We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 to fully effectuate our business development plans, including opening additional company-owned restaurants and continuing to develop and enhance the marketing of our franchise concept. We currently believe that we can open at least two additional restaurants for approximately $300,000.
There can be no assurances that additional financing, either through equity or debt, will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms or at all. While we have had discussions with potential investors and investment bankers, we have no agreement with any third party to provide additional financing. Our inability to obtain additional financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations.
Covid-19 has also caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which impacts our ability to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments for the recoverability and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements that may be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. Also, if the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of Covid-19, the Company may be required to further reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. See notes to our financial statements, Note 2 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial position, or cash flows.
| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this information.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting –. During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Kisses From Italy Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following ten months. All locations, which were in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to a hurricane and has not re-opened that location. In June 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham stores into one location to become more efficient. The Company opened its inaugural European location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy, in October 2019. The Bari location closed in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly re-opened and has not re-opened as of the date of this Report. Such a location was intended to serve as the distribution center for future products for European locations, as well as to be used as a training facility for European franchises. However, this initiative has been severely curtailed due to the onset and lingering impact of Covid-19 in Europe.
In June 2021 and November 2021, the Company opened its first two franchise locations in Chino, California and Montreal, Canada, respectively. Since the onset of Covid-19 the Company has temporarily waived any franchise fees at both locations so that the franchisees could establish operations at each of those locations.
The Company’s accounting year-end is December 31.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic has had a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and we believe, the US’s response to the pandemic has significantly affected the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.
Except for our Bari location which remains closed, our US locations are now open and are operating at near pre-Covid revenue levels.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses From Italy 9th LLC, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada) (a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020), and Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS (a limited liability company incorporated in Italy), and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and as of December 31, 2022, filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of the face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our trade receivables amounted to $13,672 and $13,470 respectively, with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- for both periods.
Other Receivables
Other receivables are comprised of two components, a receivable from a franchisee, and a receivable from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”).
ERC Credits
The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000 for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained from March 13, 2020, to December 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The Company qualifies as an employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the Company’s gross receipts fell below 50% for the same quarter in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had ERC credits receivable of $27,190 and $27,190 in ERC credits receivable, respectively.
Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”) VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”), applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the VAT tax ranges between 4% and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Company had a VAT net receivable from its Bari location amounting to $-0- and $-0- respectively.
Franchisee Receivable
In order to assist the Company’s franchisee in California, the Company extended a $22,000 demand loan at a 1% interest rate to the franchisee. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the balance on the franchisee receivable was $22,000 and $22,000, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari location.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurs.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represent franchise revenue; and food and beverage products sold which is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue is recognized using the five step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606:
1. Identify the contract with the client,
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
3. Determine the transaction price,
4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
At the corporate owned restaurants all five steps of revenue recognition occur almost simultaneously. The customer orders food from a menu, it is prepared, delivered to the customer who then pays for the food order at the cash register. Our restaurant business represented approximately 90-95% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and three months ended March 31, 2023.
For our branded retail products goods sold in Canada, the Company receives a detailed purchase order from grocery store retailers that specifies the goods ordered, their price, payment terms and the required delivery date. Once the delivery of items on the purchase order is made to the client and title passes to the retailer, the Company has met its performance obligation and recognizes revenue.
Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $34,255 and $324,493, respectively.
Property and equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
On December 18, 2019, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain areas of GAAP without compromising information provided to users of financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of the derivative liability was $139,740 and $73,398, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and emerging growth company and has a calendar-year end, the Company was eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to January 1, 2022.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02 related solely to operating leases at our store locations. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of right of use operating lease assets and right of use operating lease liabilities of approximately $562,000 each, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of wholesale food inventory at our retail operations. The value of the food at our US locations is very minimal at any one time and is charged to cost of sales as soon as it arrives at the store. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we wrote off $1,951 alcoholic beverage inventory since the Bari location had been closed since the onset of Covid in March 2020. The balance of inventory on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $15,500 and $14,359, respectively.
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Due to the Company’s net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, all of its outstanding stock options, warrants, and shares issuable if convertible notes or Preferred C shares was converted to common stock; are all considered anti-dilutive. The number of these anti-dilutive equivalents was not calculated and are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

| GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY | NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2023 the Company had cash on hand of $34,255, negative working capital of $603,107 and an accumulated deficit of $15,656,889.
Management has concluded that these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company, satisfactorily completed or on terms favorable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may contain covenants limiting certain corporate actions. Any failure by the Company to successfully raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Fourth Man Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Fourth Man Note, the Company issued to Fourth Man, commitment shares and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
Each of the notes bear interest at 12% and has a fixed price conversion to common stock at $0.025 per share.
Using the Black Scholes model, the Company recording a financing expense of $97,453 for the total of 4,800,000 warrants issued on the Talos Note, Blue Lake Note and the Fourth Man Note.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted an underwriter 162,000 warrants exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $0.11, and 56,250 warrants exercisable for five 5 years at $0.12 per share. Using the Black Scholes model, the Company recording a financing expense of $3,214 for these warrants.
As a result of the above transactions, the Company has recorded $100,167 in total financing fees in 2022 on these warrants issued to the noteholders and the underwriter.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Talos, Fourth Man and Blue Lake converted $172,000 in note principal and $37,800 in accrued interest into common shares. As a result of these conversion the company recorded a loss of $168,060 on the conversion of this debt.
On July 26, 2022 the Company entered into a $70,000 convertible note agreement at 9% interest with a maturity date of July 26, 2023 with Diagonal Lending.

On January 23, 2023 the Company paid off this $70,000 convertible note along with accrued interest of $3,863 and a $20,000 prepayment penalty for a total payment of $93,863. On February 13, 2023 the Company entered into a new $70,000 note with a 180 maturity on the same terms as the previous $70,000 note.
The Company considered the current FASB guidance of “Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability of whether or not within the issuers’ control means the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion prices of the Notes were not a fixed amount because they were either subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events or the conversion price was variable. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities upon issuance.
The fair value of the Company’s derivative liability of $139,740 as of March 31, 2023 was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model with a volatility of 246.8%, exercise price of $0.0084, using a one-year T-bill rate of $4.73%.

Mar. 31, 2023 | |||||||||
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses From Italy 9th LLC, Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada) (a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020), and Kisses From Italy Italia SRLS (a limited liability company incorporated in Italy), and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
|
||||||||
| Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements | Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and as of December 31, 2022, filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
|
||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
|
||||||||
| Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of the face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis, and all past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance when placed for collection. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts. These receivables are related to the sale of our private label branded products sold in retail and grocery stores in Canada.
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our trade receivables amounted to $13,672 and $13,470 respectively, with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- for both periods.
|
||||||||
| Other Receivables | Other Receivables
Other receivables are comprised of two components, a receivable from a franchisee, and a receivable from the government for Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”).
|
||||||||
| ERC Credits | ERC Credits
The purpose of the ERC is to encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll, even if they are not working during the covered period due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The updated ERC provides a refundable credit of up to $5,000 for each full-time equivalent employee a company retained from March 13, 2020, to December 31, 2020, and up to $14,000 for each retained employee from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The Company qualifies as an employer if it was ordered to fully or partially shut down or if the Company’s gross receipts fell below 50% for the same quarter in 2019 (for 2020) and below 80% (for 2021). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had ERC credits receivable of $27,190 and $27,190 in ERC credits receivable, respectively.
|
||||||||
| Valued Added Tax (“VAT”) | Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)
The Valued Added Tax (“VAT”) VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”), applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the VAT tax ranges between 4% and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Company had a VAT net receivable from its Bari location amounting to $-0- and $-0- respectively.
|
||||||||
| Franchisee Receivable | Franchisee Receivable
In order to assist the Company’s franchisee in California, the Company extended a $22,000 demand loan at a 1% interest rate to the franchisee. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the balance on the franchisee receivable was $22,000 and $22,000, respectively.
|
||||||||
| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency of the Company’s Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. To date, this difference has been immaterial for the Bari location.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, such as the Company’s current retails sales in Canada for Kisses From Italy branded products, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurs.
|
||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the guidelines of ASC 606. Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represent franchise revenue; and food and beverage products sold which is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue is recognized using the five step approach required under the guidelines of ASC 606:
1. Identify the contract with the client,
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
3. Determine the transaction price,
4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
At the corporate owned restaurants all five steps of revenue recognition occur almost simultaneously. The customer orders food from a menu, it is prepared, delivered to the customer who then pays for the food order at the cash register. Our restaurant business represented approximately 90-95% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and three months ended March 31, 2023.
For our branded retail products goods sold in Canada, the Company receives a detailed purchase order from grocery store retailers that specifies the goods ordered, their price, payment terms and the required delivery date. Once the delivery of items on the purchase order is made to the client and title passes to the retailer, the Company has met its performance obligation and recognizes revenue.
|
||||||||
| Non-controlling interest | Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.
|
||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $34,255 and $324,493, respectively.
|
||||||||
| Property and equipment | Property and equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
|
||||||||
| Income taxes | Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
On December 18, 2019, FASB released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The FASB has stated that the ASU is being issued as part of its Simplification Initiative, which is meant to reduce complexity in accounting standards by improving certain areas of GAAP without compromising information provided to users of financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 which had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
|
||||||||
| Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of the derivative liability was $139,740 and $73,398, respectively.
|
||||||||
| Stock-based Compensation |
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
|
||||||||
| Leases | Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and emerging growth company and has a calendar-year end, the Company was eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to January 1, 2022.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02 related solely to operating leases at our store locations. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of right of use operating lease assets and right of use operating lease liabilities of approximately $562,000 each, respectively.

| Inventory | Inventory
Inventory is comprised of wholesale food inventory at our retail operations. The value of the food at our US locations is very minimal at any one time and is charged to cost of sales as soon as it arrives at the store. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we wrote off $1,951 alcoholic beverage inventory since the Bari location had been closed since the onset of Covid in March 2020. The balance of inventory on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $15,500 and $14,359, respectively.

| Net Loss per Share |
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Due to the Company’s net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, all of its outstanding stock options, warrants, and shares issuable if convertible notes or Preferred C shares was converted to common stock; are all considered anti-dilutive. The number of these anti-dilutive equivalents was not calculated and are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share.

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and financial statement disclosures.
