KISSES FROM ITALY INC.
NOTES TO 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 accounting year-end is December 31.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed 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. Kisses-Palm Sea Royal closed its store on September 30, 2023 but remained as an operating entity. In June 2024 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Kisses From Italy 9th LLC closed its store but remained as an operating entity.
Management is actively evaluating current market conditions and exploring the possibility of relocating our operations for both divisions to other areas within South Florida. This decision stems from our ongoing commitment to strategic growth and optimizing our operational footprint. The consideration to relocate is driven by several factors, including but not limited to:
Market Dynamics: Analysis of market trends and opportunities suggests potential advantages in certain geographic locations within South Florida that align more closely with our strategic objectives.
Operational Efficiency: Evaluating alternative locations may provide opportunities to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve service delivery to our customers.
Infrastructure and Resources: Assessing the availability of suitable infrastructure, resources, and talent pool in different areas to support our long-term growth plans.
At this time these closings have not been considered discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20 because neither division has been disposed of, nor is disposal in the plan.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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.
| 10 |
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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023,
our trade receivables amounted to $
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.
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.
| 11 |
Non-controlling interest
A 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,
the Company’s cash 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.
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 September 30, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, the balance of the derivative liability was $-
| 12 |
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 $
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. The balance of inventory on September 30, 2024 and December
31, 2023 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 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.
| 13 |
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.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
As of September 30, 2024 the Company had cash
on hand of $
Management has concluded that these condensed consolidated 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.
NOTE 4 – EQUIPMENT NOT IN SERVICE
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023,
all of the Company fixed assets in service had been fully depreciated Also as of the September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 we had $-

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.

References in this section to “Kisses from Italy” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” refer to Kisses from Italy Inc., a Florida corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
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. It currently operates through the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: (1) Kisses From Italy 9th LLC, (2) Kisses From Italy-Franchising LLC; and (3) Kisses From Italy, Inc. (Canada), a company incorporated under the laws of Canada and registered in Quebec on December 23, 2020.
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, which is the only operating restaurant as of the date of this Quarterly Report. The Company also opened in 2016 three additional restaurants, located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, but these restaurants are no longer operational (in December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to a hurricane; in June 2021, the Company consolidated its two Wyndham restaurants into one location to become more efficient, and in May 2023, the Company made the decision not to renew a lease in Wyndham Palm Aire location and to close its operations there.
Kisses-Palm Sea Royal closed its store on September 30, 2023 but remained as an operating entity. In June 2024 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Kisses From Italy 9th LLC closed its store but remained as an operating entity.
Management is actively evaluating current market conditions and exploring the possibility of relocating our operations for both divisions to other areas within South Florida. This decision stems from our ongoing commitment to strategic growth and optimizing our operational footprint. The consideration to relocate is driven by several factors, including but not limited to:
Market Dynamics: Analysis of market trends and opportunities suggests potential advantages in certain geographic locations within South Florida that align more closely with our strategic objectives.
Operational Efficiency: Evaluating alternative locations may provide opportunities to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve service delivery to our customers.
Infrastructure and Resources: Assessing the availability of suitable infrastructure, resources, and talent pool in different areas to support our long-term growth plans.
At this time these closings have not been considered discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20 because neither division has been disposed of, nor is disposal in the plan.

Recent Developments
On February 8, 2024, the Company and SC Culinary LLC entered into a termination agreement, pursuant to which the parties terminated the Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “SAA”) dated the March 1, 2023 and agreed that neither the Company nor SC Culinary has any further liability or obligation to the other with respect to the terms of the SAA, and the Company has no interest in any intellectual property rights owned or used by either SC Culinary or Scott Conant. In connection with the termination of the SAA, on February 8, 2024, Scott Conant resigned from the board of directors of the Company effective immediately. On February 16, 2024, the Company dissolved its subsidiary, The Ponte San’gwich Shoppe & Italian Deli.
On February 9, 2024, the Company received the notification letter from OTC Markets, Inc. notifying the Company that its bid price has closed below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days and that the Company no longer meets the Standards for Continued Eligibility for OTCQB (the “OTCQB Standards”), which requires maintaining proprietary priced quotations published by a Market Maker in OTC Link with a minimum closing bid price of $0.01 per share on at least one of the prior 30 consecutive calendar days (the “Minimum Closing Bid Price”). Initially, OTC Markets granted the Company a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 9, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Closing Bid Price under the OTCQB Standards, which was extended by OTC Markets to July 12, 2024.
Results of Operations
The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023
Revenue and Cost of Sales
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $49,327 compared to $203,406 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The significant decrease in revenues during the nine months ended is attributable to the closing of the PSR location in September 2023 and the 9th Street location during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $27,380 compared to $96,259 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease is attributable to lower sales volumes.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses were $164,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3,155,794 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Non-cash stock-based compensation was $-0- and $2,502,500 for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Excluding the stock-based compensation in both periods, operating expenses were $164,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $653,294 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The significant decrease in all expense categories is primarily attributable to the closing of all company store locations in 2024.
Other income and expense
Other expenses of $56,768 were comprised of interest expense $69,787, offset by $13,019 in other income from the sale of equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to other expense $1,472,892 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The significant decrease is primarily attributable to a reductions in interest expense.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we incurred a net loss of $199,155 attributable to Kisses from Italy Inc., compared to a net loss of $4,554,473 attributable to Kisses from Italy Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
| 23 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2024, we had $810 in cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash used in operating activities was $56,448 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash used of $708,065 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to increased cash operating losses in 2023 compared to the 2024 period.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $32,415 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $491,409 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to $380,000 in net proceeds from convertible notes and 58,507 in notes payable in 2023 compared to zero in both categories during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 .
We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 to fully effectuate our business development plans.
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 the results of our operations.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared to assume 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 the 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. These factors, among others, 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 [*] – 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 flow.

| 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 Quarterly 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 September 30, 2024.
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 Quarterly 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.
