(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Better For You Wellness, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was initially incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020. A plant-based, science-focused wellness consumer packaged goods and sustainable services Company evaluating opportunities targeting six goals-based wellness categories within the rapidly growing wellness industry to create a leading global wellness conglomerate.

The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various opportunities in the plant-based skincare, personal care, food and beverage, natural supplement and consumer packaged goods and services sectors.

The Company acquired Mango Moi, a natural skincare company in May 2022 and intends to optimize Mango Moi’s product formulae and packaging, as well as secure new manufacturing relationships to scale production capacity. Additionally, the Company plans to expand Mango Moi’s product offerings to include additional products and product bundles. Furthermore, the Company intends to grow sales through direct-to-consumer marketing efforts, subscription box sales, and pursuing wholesale sales relationships.

The Company intends to acquire The Ideation Lab, LLC and its functional beverage division, The Jordre Well. The Ideation Lab is a brand solutions incubator and accelerator focused on the plant-based wellness and hemp-infused industry. The Ideation Lab has been developing plant-based wellness brands since 2020, including Garrett and Emmett’s Pet Treats, a pet lifestyle brand, E.J. Well Co, a women’s wellness brand, and others. The Jordre Well is a functional beverage company that is 49% owned by Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: JVA), a leading integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the United States. In September, 2022, The Jordre Well announced its portfolio of products from Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection (“SJCCC”), the Company’s premium coffee brand, which is now being sold through Amazon.com and is in discussion with major national retailers. The e-commerce giant carries 8 of SJCCC’s premium coffee products and ships to more than 100 countries around the globe. Additionally, the deal contemplates Coffee Holding Company continuing its global purchase of coffee beans, manufacturing, distribution, and licensure of its Cafe Caribe and Harmony Bay to The Jordre Well for Hemp infusion.

The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various opportunities in the plant-based food and beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors, including but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, or business combination transactions. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a business combination rather than immediate, short-term earnings.

On September 18, 2023, the company entered into Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (MIPA) with The Ideation Lab, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (TIL)(“sellers”). The purchase price as determined is $3M valuation. In connection with MIPA agreement On October 1, 2023, each Seller was given the choice to receive their pro-rata portion of the Consideration Shares in the form of restricted Better For You Wellness, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock $0.0001 par value or restricted Better For You Wellness, Inc. Common Stock par value $0.0001. Each share of BFYW Preferred Stock has voting rights equal to one thousand (1,000) votes of each share of BFYW Common Stock.

The Company’s main office is located at 1349 East Broad Street, Columbus OH 43205.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mango Moi and Glow Markets, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates:

There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the six months ended August 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended February 28, 2023 except for lease accounting for operating lease entered into in Q1, where the company has applied Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 (See Note 7). Further, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2023, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies and use of estimates.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates of stock option valuation, Right-of-use assets - operating leases, lease liability and the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows as of August 31, 2023 and for the related periods presented, have been included. The results for the six-months period ended August 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended February 28, 2023 issued on June 9, 2023.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has prepared its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Company adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue for products is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer, and the customer completes the product inspection. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no deferred revenues.

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023 were $3,209 and $ 13,773 respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (primarily three to five years).

Inventory

Inventories, which include the costs of material, labor and overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis.

Better Suds manufactures only what it sells in a drop ship business model, therefore the Company had $910 and $979 in inventory as of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023 respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “

Income Taxes

.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at August 31, 2023 as

a 100% valuation allowance has been established on deferred tax assets at August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, due to the uncertainty of our ability to realize future taxable income.”

Basic/ Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260,

Earnings per Share

. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of August 31, 2023 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

ASC 820,

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

- Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Leases:

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) as assets, operating lease non-current liabilities, and operating lease current liabilities in our balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the right to use an asset for the lease term and lease liability represent the obligation to make lease payment arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company elected the practical expedient to utilize the risk-free rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The operating ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over lease term.

On April 1, 2023, the Company entered into office Lease Agreement, for

9,247

square feet office in Columbus, OH. The lease has a term of 3 years starting from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The lease does not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company elected the practical expedient to utilize the risk-free rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Therefore, we have adopted a treasury rate of 3.81%.

The lease includes the following physical space:

9,247

square feet (SF) on the first, second, and third floors, the 3,000 SF of storage and fulfillment in the sublevel finished basement, and nearly

1,000

SF of lab space in the first floor of the Carriage House (a cumulative total of approximately

10,247

SF), and secure off-street parking.

Share-Based Compensation

ASC 718, “

Compensation – Stock Compensation

”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “

Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.”

Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Except as specified for the Independent Directors’ compensation, the Company had

stock-based compensation plans as of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables, by replacing today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model under which allowances will be recognized based on expected rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 resulted in no change in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Note 3 - Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.

The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital. There is no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.”

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Company Overview

Business Overview

We are a sustainable brands and services company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. We are evaluating opportunities targeting six goals-based wellness categories within the rapidly growing wellness industry to create a leading global wellness conglomerate.

Through our dual buy and build model, we evaluate the wellness industry in the following six goals-based categories:

●

Better Health

●

Better Fitness

●

Better Nutrition

●

Better Appearance

●

Better Sleep

●

Better Mindfulness

As an early-stage company, our Company generated $1,804 and $1,716 in revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively. Our Company generated $3,654 and $2,022 in revenue for the six months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively. Our strategy is designed to offer wellness consumers a diverse synergistic portfolio of brands and products that will allow them to live a life of intention and improve their quality of life.

We believe wellness consumers purchase with intention and specifically seek out the brands and products that improve their quality of life. Furthermore, we believe wellness consumers pursue these six goals-based dimensions of wellness and are positioning the Company to capitalize on this demand. With skin being humans’ largest organ, we have initially prioritized skincare and haircare to help wellness consumers look and feel better with clean and natural products. We intend to expand into additional wellness categories with functional foods, beverages, supplements, and more.

Our management team brings deep expertise in heavily regulated industries, operating, brand identity, genetics, and services, and raising capital to the public market. We seek synergistic and complementary mergers and acquisition opportunities, implementing operational efficiencies to eliminate duplicative measures and centralize administrative operations to achieve more significant revenues and profitability. Additionally, we expect to leverage our network of retail relationships and acquire and manage brands and services cultivated in the beauty and wellness industry to secure sales in major retailers in the United States and globally.

Our management team monitors various trends and factors that follow, which could impact our operating performance. As an early-stage company, the Company has relatively few transactions to date.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Operating Performance

Our management team monitors various trends and factors that could impact our operating performance.

Revenue Strategy

— Our revenue growth strategy follows a dual buy-and-build business model in which we acquire brands and related infrastructure and develop brands and related infrastructure in-house. In addition to scaling the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Glow Market LLC, which currently owns and operates our Better Suds soap brand, we have executed multiple non-binding letters of intent to acquire companies within the skincare sector, including a vertically-integrated skincare manufacturer and multiple brands. The closing of these respective transactions depends on numerous factors, including but not limited to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, capital constraints, and more. Furthermore, any of these contemplated transactions would likely have a material impact on the Company’s operating performance. On May 26, 2022, our Company closed its first acquisition of the right, title and interest in, including all of the outstanding membership interests of Mango Moi, LLC, a hair and skincare business located in Chicago, Illinois.

Market Opportunity

We aim to become a major participant in the $1.5 trillion global wellness industry. We believe our innovative wellness-related offerings converge with wellness consumer trends and demands for “Better-For-You” brands and products that can satisfy all pricing points. We expect consumer trends towards the adoption of these healthier lifestyles to continue.

Competition

We will compete with companies that operate in the plant-based and science-focused wellness market. Many of our competitors will have substantially greater financial resources, a broader market presence, longer-standing relationships with distributors, retailers, and suppliers, longer operating histories, more extensive production and distribution capabilities, robust brand recognition, and significant marketing resources, and more comprehensive product lines than us. We believe that principal competitive factors in this category include, among others, quality ingredients, wellness profile, cost, convenience, branding, and marketing.

Sales and Marketing Costs

As we continue to grow our “BFYW” product portfolio, we expect to expand our sales and marketing team by adding dedicated personnel to service additional retail customers. Outside sales representatives and brokers may be added to expand our sales efforts. We further envision engaging, developing, and possibly acquiring a subscription box retail operation. Marketing expenditures are expected to begin primarily online and in product fees (as we engage retail store expansion), as well as other similar in-store marketing costs. These expenses will be categorized as net deductions to revenue under GAAP instead of marketing expenses. We plan to hire a national marketing firm to implement digital video and display campaigns, connected television, social media, and search engine marketing. As we expand and grow revenue, we will build a brand management team (to support Management, who oversees all “BFYW” marketing efforts) to focus on digital marketing, social media, and other marketing functions.

Operating Costs

Our operating costs include raw materials, labor, related benefits, manufacturing overhead, marketing, sales, distribution, shipping, and other general and administrative expenses. We attempt to manage the impact of our operating costs through fixed hourly rate agreements with legal counsel and certain consultants. We have begun to reduce our labor force to right size the operations costs, as we reformulate the Mango Moi line of products for commercial scaling.

Fluctuations in Costs

Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, transportation costs, and our productivity efforts. If we are unable to manage cost fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions, and consistent productivity improvements, it may adversely impact our gross margin, operating margin, and net earnings. Sales can also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on the consumption of our products. We strive to implement, achieve, and sustain cost improvement plans, including supply chain optimization, general overhead, workforce optimization, and outsourcing projects as deemed appropriate.

Commodities

In the future, our profitability could depend on our ability to anticipate and react to raw material costs, among other things. Raw materials can be sourced from various parts of the globe, and the prices of raw goods are subject to many factors beyond our control. These factors include variables in world economic conditions, political events, tariffs, trade wars, or other events.

Acquisitions

The Company follows a dual buy-and-build business model for growth through acquisitions and in-house development of brands. We have executed multiple non-binding letters of intent to acquire companies within the skincare sector and functional beverage, women’s wellness and pet care. The closing of these respective transactions depends on numerous factors including but not limited to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, capital constraints, and more. Furthermore, any of these contemplated transactions would likely have a material impact on the Company’s operating performance.

Strategic Advisory Committee

To assist in the expansion of the Company, management sought and received unanimous consent from the Board of Directors to create and seat a Strategic Advisory Committee composed of respected industry leaders who bring relevant experience, networks, and leadership to the Company’s various initiatives.

Discussion of Financial Statement

As an Early-Stage Company with few transactions, the Company’s expenditures were heavily Selling General, and Administrative (“SG&A”). The Company engaged Anthony L.G., PLLC as legal counsel, to be consulted on a case-by-case basis as may be necessary for corporate legal services and securities counsel. Payroll expenses, including deferred compensation, were the single largest category of cash expenditures for the quarter. Pursuant to their Employment Agreements, Ian James, Stephen Letourneau and Jacob Ellman have deferred compensation. Accordingly, the following represents each individual’s deferred compensation since March 1, 2022: Ian James has deferred $99,599, Stephen Letourneau has deferred $76,393, and Jacob Ellman has deferred $72,984. Effective July 2023 the board has approved the conversion of at least 66% of deferred compensation of both Mr. James and Mr. Letourneau into restricted Common Shares at a $0.037 per share price as and when exercised to be consistent with the Mast Hill per share pricing. Management expects legal costs to taper as a percentage of overall SG&A as the company grows. The Company’s SG&A further includes the cost of EDGAR and news release filing services, payroll of a single person, website development and publishing, professional services such as accounting, SRAX for regular updates of NOBO data for the shareholder lists for ongoing shareholder communications, Governmental filing fees including business licensing.

Systems and Controls

As an early-stage company, the Company has very few transactions to date. The Company’s Board of Directors comprises 6 members, 4 of which are non-executive independent directors. The Board of Directors’ reviews transactions, and the CEO signs off on transactions. The Company is developing revenue recognition processes and procedures for the business, including revenue streams, point of performance obligation discharged, etc., to comply with applicable State, Provincial, Federal, and International Laws and Regulations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Under Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Going Concern

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Financial Statements and Exhibits

The Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. The Company’s business purpose is to seek the acquisition of or merger with an existing company.

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), which eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC’s) reporting and disclosure rules (See Emerging Growth Companies Section Below).

The Company has elected February 28th as its fiscal year-end.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth selected items in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial data in dollar amounts and as a percentage of revenue for the period represented:

	For the Three Months Ended August 31,						For the Six Months Ended August 31,

Net Loss	$	(486,194	)	$	(693,634	)	$	(1,234,078	)	$	(1,669,768	)

Revenues

The company generated $1,804 and $1,716 for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively, an increase of $88 or 5.13%. The increase was due to the Company having sales from its Mango Moi operation.

The company generated $3,654 and $2,022 for the six months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively, an increase of $1,632 or 80.71%. The increase was due to the Company having sales from its Mango Moi operation.

Cost of Goods Sold

We recorded $381 and $3,489 for Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended August 31,2023, and 2022 respectively, a decrease of $3,108 or 89.08%.

We recorded $1,313 and $9,558 for Cost of Goods Sold for the six months ended August 31,2023, and 2022 respectively, a decrease of $8,245 or 86.26%.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

We recorded $1,423 and $1,773 in gross profit and loss respectively for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively, an increase of $3,196 or 180.26%. The increase was due to the increase in sales and the streamlining of manufacturing.

We recorded $2,341 and $7,536 in gross profit and loss respectively for the six months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively, an increase of $9,877 or 131.06%. The increase was due to the increase in sales and the streamlining of manufacturing.

Operating Expenses

We recorded $462,112 and $673,881 in operating expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively

We incurred $211,769 less in Operating Expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2023 due to approximately $180,718 in share-based expenses, and approximately $281,394 in general and administrative expenses, compared to $227,619 and $446,262 in share-based expenses, and general administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended August 31, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses was due to reduced stock option expenses for Independent Directors with the vacancy of one Independent Board member, and reduction in legal fees, marketing expenses, membership subscriptions, licenses, and software and applications.

We recorded $1,167,118 and $1,639,189 in operating expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively

We incurred $472,071 less in Operating Expenses for the six months ended August 31, 2023 due to approximately $573,668 in share-based expenses, and approximately $593,450 in general and administrative expenses, compared to $995,932 and $643,257 in share-based expenses, and general administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended August 31, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses was due to reduced stock option expenses for Independent Directors with the vacancy of one Independent Board member, and reduction in legal fees, marketing expenses, membership subscriptions, licenses, and software and applications.

Income Taxes

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. As of August 31, 2023 the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $1,247,943 resulting in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $259,156 the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our Company’s inception date of December 1, 2020, and our fiscal year end of February 28, 2023, we have completed only three taxable fiscal years.

Net (Loss) Income

We recorded a loss of $486,194 and $693,634 for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. We recorded less in net loss during this period compared to the same quarter of the prior year due to reduced operating expenses during the period.

We recorded a loss of $1,234,078 and $1,669,768 for the six months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. We recorded less in net loss during this period compared to the same quarter of the prior year due to reduced operating expenses during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash balance was $3,209 and $13,773 as of August 31, 2023, and February 28, 2023 respectively. We presently are largely reliant on capital contributions towards expenses from Mr. Ian James, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors Company received $171,000 loan from GOV wholly owned subsidiary of Ian James, $50,000 from our Audit Chairman David Deming in the six months ended August 31, 2023.

Mr. Ian James has not guaranteed that he will continue to support our capital needs. Therefore, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. We may require further funding to implement our operations plan for the next twelve months. Being a start-up stage company, we have a very limited operating history. After a twelve-month period, we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing with the exception of the Standby Equity Commitment Agreement with MacRab LLC.

If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until our Company raises the necessary financing or cease operations entirely.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities.

Corporate History

Better For You Wellness, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company” or the “Registrant”), was initially incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Glow Market LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company, to build and operate digitally native, mission-driven brands within the clean beauty sector in multiple consumer product categories. In December 2021, Glow Market LLC launched its first brand, Better Suds, an impact-driven brand that sells cruelty-free natural soap. In May 2022, the Company acquired its second wholly owned subsidiary, Mango Moi, LLC, a natural skincare and body care product line with naturally clean ingredients to soothe dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and cracked skin.

The Company seeks to acquire The Ideation Lab, LLC, a brand solutions incubator and accelerator focused on the plant-based wellness and hemp-infused industry since 2020. The Ideation Lab Garrett and Emmett’s Pet Treats, a pet lifestyle brand, E.J. Well Co, a women’s wellness brand (natural supplements), and others.

The Jordre Well is a functional beverage company that is 49% owned by Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: JVA), a leading integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the United States. Earlier this week, The Jordre Well announced its portfolio of products from Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection (“SJCCC”), the Company’s premium coffee brand, which is now being sold through Amazon.com and is in discussion with major national retailers. The e-commerce giant carries 8 of SJCCC’s premium coffee products and ships to more than 100 countries around the globe. Additionally, the deal contemplates Coffee Holding Company continuing its global purchase of coffee beans, manufacturing, distribution, and licensure of its Cafe Caribe and Harmony Bay to The Jordre Well for Hemp infusion.

We began trading under the symbol BFYW on OTC Markets Pink Tier in September 2021, and applied to the OTC Markets Group to up-list its Common Stock for trading on the OTC Markets Venture Market, or the OTCQB. In February 2022, the Company began trading on OTCQB.

Independent Board of Directors

On August 27, 2021, Montel Williams, Joseph J. Watson, Leslie Bumgarner, David H. Deming, and Dr. Nicola Finley were appointed by our Board of Directors to serve as Independent Directors of the Company. On January 1, 2022, Christina Jefferson was appointed to fill the vacancy left by outgoing Director Leslie Bumgarner, whose resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices. Each Director agreed to serve a two-year term. In October 2021, an Audit Committee was seated with Mr. Deming, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Williams as its members. Mr. Deming was elected its Chair. Dr. Finley resigned as a Director of the Company effective June 2022 due to time constraints and professional bandwidth, and she was replaced temporarily by Mellise Gelula, who, in August 2022, notified the Board that she was unable to commit to the director role and its requirements but would remain a member of the Company's Strategic Advisory Committee. The vacant Board of Director seat remains unfilled. Also, in October 2021, A Compensation Committee was seated with Ms. Leslie Bumgarner, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Williams as its members. Mr. Watson was elected its Chair, and in February 2022, Ms. Jefferson was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Ms. Bumgarner’s resignation.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our fractional Chief Financial Officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of August 31, 2023, our management, with the participation of, and under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and fractional Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2023, due to the identification of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2023.

Remediation of Material Weakness

We are in the process of implementing improvements and remedial measures in response to the material weakness, including the hiring of a fractional Chief Financial Officer with over 24 years of diverse professional experience in financial reporting and auditing under GAAP and IFRS, with expertise in PCAOB audits. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with Apari Solutions for accounting and audit-related services. Established in 2018, Aprari Solutions is a leading audit and accounting firm in India with a team consisting of qualified CPAs, Chartered Accountants, CFAs, Ph.D. and MBAs from top institutions, and experienced professionals well-trained in GAAP and PCAOB audit standards and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Since September 1, 2022, and in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of August 31, 2023, the Company has made changes to its internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting, including those changes set forth under “—Remediation of Material Weakness.”

Limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its desired objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Our management does not expect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management overriding internal controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
