NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
Nightfood Holdings, Inc.

We maintain a web site at www.nightfood.com, along with many additional web properties. Any information that may appear on our web site should not be deemed to be a part of this report.
The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending June 30, 2023.
Use of Estimates
| ● | The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in the determination of depreciation and amortization, the valuation for non-cash issuances of common stock, and the website, income taxes and contingencies, valuing convertible preferred stock for a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and warrants among others. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
| ● | The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents amounts on deposit in the banks and cash temporarily in various instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $ |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
| ● | Statement of financial accounting standard FASB Topic 820, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value. |
6
Inventories
| ● | Inventories consisting of packaged food items and supplies are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or net realizable value, including provisions for spoilage commensurate with known or estimated exposures which are recorded as a charge to cost of sales during the period spoilage is incurred. The Company has no minimum purchase commitments with its vendors. |
Advertising Costs
| ● | Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in advertising and promotional expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Although not traditionally thought of by many as “advertising costs”, the Company includes expenses related to graphic design work, package design, website design, domain names, and product samples in the category of “advertising costs”. The Company recorded advertising costs of $ |
Income Taxes
| ● | The Company has not generated any taxable income, and, therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided. Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits 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, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards. 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 Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not. |
| ● | A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset even though the Company believes it is more likely than not that the assets will be utilized |
| ● | The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates associated with taxing jurisdictions because of permanent and temporary timing differences as well as a valuation allowance. |
Revenue Recognition
| ● | The Company generates its revenue by selling its nighttime snack products wholesale to retailers and wholesalers. All sources of revenue are recorded pursuant to FASB Topic 606 Revenue Recognition, to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This includes a five-step framework that requires an entity to: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, this revenue generation requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. |
| ● | The Company revenue from contracts with customers provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. |
| ● | The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue. As this policy election is in line with the Company’s previous accounting practices, the treatment of shipping and handling activities under FASB Topic 606 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures. |
| ● | The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the Company’s revenue streams that are within the scope of the amendments. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. |
7
| ● | In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which updates revenue recognition guidance relating to contracts with customers. This standard states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after July 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively known as “ASC 606”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the full retrospective method. |
| ● | Management reviewed ASC 606-10-32-25 which states “Consideration payable to a customer includes cash amounts that an entity pays, or expects to pay, to the customer (or to other parties that purchase the entity’s goods or services from the customer). Consideration payable to a customer also includes credit or other items (for example, a coupon or voucher) that can be applied against amounts owed to the entity (or to other parties that purchase the entity’s goods or services from the customer). An entity shall account for consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price and, therefore, of revenue unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for a distinct good or service (as described in paragraphs 606-10-25-18 through 25-22) that the customer transfers to the entity. If the consideration payable to a customer includes a variable amount, an entity shall estimate the transaction price (including assessing whether the estimate of variable consideration is constrained) in accordance with paragraphs 606-10-32-5 through 32-13.” |
| ● | If the consideration payable to a customer is a payment for a distinct good service, then in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-26, the entity should account for it the same way that it accounts for other purchases from suppliers (expense). Further, “if the amount of consideration payable to the customer exceeds the fair value of the distinct good or service that the entity receives from the customer, then the entity shall account for such an excess as a reduction of the transaction price. If the entity cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the good or service received from the customer, it shall account for all of the consideration payable to the customer as a reduction of the transaction price.” |
| ● | Under ASC 606-10-32-27, if the consideration payable to a customer is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price, “an entity shall recognize the reduction of revenue when (or as) the later of either of the following events occurs: |
| a) | The entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related goods or services to the customer. | |
| b) | The entity pays or promises to pay the consideration (even if the payment is conditional on a future event). That promise might be implied by the entity’s customary business practices.” |
| ● | Management reviewed each arrangement to determine if each fee paid is for a distinct good or service and should be expensed as incurred or if the Company should recognize the payment as a reduction of revenue. |
| ● | The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment based on meeting the transfer of control criteria. The Company has made a policy election to treat shipping and handling as costs to fulfill the contract, and as a result, any fees received from customers are included in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation of providing goods with a corresponding amount accrued within cost of sales for amounts paid to applicable carriers. |
Concentration of Credit Risk
| ● | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At various times during the year, the Company may exceed the federally insured limits. To mitigate this risk, the Company places its cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions. Management believes the risk of loss is minimal. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any uninsured cash deposits. |
Beneficial Conversion Feature
| ● | For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any BCF intrinsic value as additional paid in capital and related debt discount.. |
| ● | When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. |
8
Beneficial Conversion Feature – Series B Preferred Stock (deemed dividend):
Each share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value
$
Based on the guidance in ASC 470-20-20, the Company determined that a BCF existed, as the effective conversion price for the B Preferred at issuance was less than the fair value of the common stock which the shares of B Preferred are convertible into. A BCF feature based on the intrinsic value of the date of issuances for the B Preferred was approximately $4.4 million.
Debt Issue Costs
| ● | The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations. |
Equity Issuance Costs
| ● | The Company accounts for costs related to the issuance of equity as a charge to Paid in Capital and records the equity transaction net of issuance costs. |
Original Issue Discount
| ● | If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. |
Stock Settled Debt
| ● | In certain instances, the Company will issue convertible notes which contain a provision in which the price of the conversion feature is priced at a fixed discount to the trading price of the Company’s common shares as traded in the over-the-counter market. In these instances, the Company records a liability, in addition to the principal amount of the convertible note, as stock-settled debt for the fixed value transferred to the convertible note holder from the fixed discount conversion feature. |
Stock-Based Compensation
| ● | The Company accounts for share-based awards issued to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Accordingly, employee share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Additionally, share-based awards to non-employees are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value. The Company applies ASC 718, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. |
9
Customer Concentration
| ● | During the three months ended September 30, 2022, |
Vendor Concentration
| ● | During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, one vendor accounted for more than |
Receivables Concentration
| ● | As of September 30, 2022, the Company had receivables due from nine customers. One accounted for 32% of the total balance, one accounted for 22% of the total balance and one accounted for |
Income/Loss Per Share
| ● | In accordance with ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon convertible notes, stock options and warrants, and classes of shares with conversion features. The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted losses per share. |
Reclassification
| ● | The Company may make certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform with the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications would not have a material effect on its consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
| ● | ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes |
| ● | In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU is intended to enhance and simplify aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740 as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU and there is no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| ● | In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. This ASU is applied prospectively and becomes effective immediately upon the transition from LIBOR. The Company has analyzed the guidance and the Company has no contract or hedging relationships that will be affected by this guidance. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
| ● | In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The update also provides for expanded disclosure requirements to increase transparency. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance does not materially impact our financial statements and related disclosures. |
| ● | The Company will continue to monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements. |
10
3. Going Concern
| ● | The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is new and has limited operating history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. |
| ● | The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had an operating and
net loss of $ |
| ● | The Company has limited available cash resources and it does not believe its cash on hand will be adequate to satisfy our ongoing working capital and growth needs throughout Fiscal Year 2023.
The Company is continuing to seek to raise capital through the sales of its common stock, including pursuant to its recently launched Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (also known as “Regulation A+”) of units consisting of common stock and warrants, preferred stock and/or convertible notes, as well as potentially the exercise of outstanding warrants, to finance the Company’s operations, of which it can give no assurance of success. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. The Company believes that its current capitalization structure, combined with ongoing increases in revenues, will enable it to successfully secure required financing to continue its growth. |
| ● | Because the Company has limited sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. In addition, the Company will receive the proceeds from its outstanding warrants as, if and when such warrants are exercised for cash. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations. |
| ● | Even if the Company is successful in raising additional funds, the Company cannot give any assurance that it will, in the future, be able to achieve a level of profitability from the sale of its products to sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
| ● | The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including the measures to reduce its spread, and the impact on the economy, cannot fully be understood and identified. Indications to date are that there are somewhat offsetting factors relating to the impact on our Company. Industry data shows that supermarket sales remain up, with more people spending more time at home. Anecdotally and statistically, snacking activity is also up while consumers are reporting a decrease in sleep quality and sleep satisfaction. |
| ● | The offsetting factors are the impact of the virus on the overall economy, and the impact that a down economic period can have on consumer behavior, including potential reductions in travel, hotel occupancy, and trial of new brands. Greater unemployment, recession, and other possible unforeseen factors are shown to have an impact. Research indicates that consumers are less likely to try new brands during economic recession and stress, returning to the legacy brands they’ve known for decades. |
| ● | From both public statements observed, and conversations conducted between Nightfood Management and current and former executives from certain global food and beverage conglomerates, it has been affirmed to Management that there is increased strategic interest in the nighttime nutrition space as a potential high-growth opportunity, partially due to recent declines in consumer sleep quality and increases in at-home nighttime snacking. |
| ● | We have experienced no major issues with supply chain or logistics. Order processing function has been normal to date, and our manufacturers have assured us that their operations are “business as usual” as of the time of this filing. |
| ● | It is possible that the fallout from the pandemic could make it more difficult in the future for the Company to access required growth capital, possibly rendering us unable to meet certain debts and expenses. |
| ● | It is impossible to know what the future holds with regard to the virus, both for our company and in the broader sense. There are many uncertainties regarding the current coronavirus pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, vendors, and business partners. It is difficult to know if the pandemic has materially impacted the results of operations, and we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to make adjustments accordingly, if necessary. |

4. Accounts receivable
| ● | The Company’s accounts receivable arises primarily from the sale of the Company’s ice cream. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates each customer account and based on the days outstanding of the receivable, history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions, writes off accounts it considers uncollectible. With most of our retail and distribution partners, invoices will typically be due in 30 days. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts and the Company does not require collateral. Accounts become past due on an account-by-account basis. Determination that an account is uncollectible is made after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company has not provided any accounts receivable allowances for September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. |
5. Inventories
| ● | Inventory consists of the following at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022: |

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions and the products relative shelf life. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to loss on inventory write down.

In connection with the issuance of the Promissory Note, the Company issued to the investor warrants to purchase 2,800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.225, as well as returnable warrants (the “Returnable Warrants”), which may only be exercised in the event that the Company were to default on certain debt obligations, to purchase 7,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30, in each case subject to adjustment. The Promissory Note may be converted into Company common stock in the event of an event of default under the Promissory Note by the Company.

The Company valued these warrants using the Black Scholes model utilizing a 122.42% volatility and a risk-free rate of 3.91%.
17
Certain warrants in the below table include dilution protection for the warrant holders, which could cause the exercise price to be adjusted as a result of a financing event at a valuation below the exercise price in effect at the time. For example, as a result of the December 2021 Offering, which would allow the new noteholders to convert their debt to shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20/share, some of the $0.30 warrants outstanding in the table below had their exercise price reduced from $0.30 to $0.2919 which was further adjusted to $0.2752 prior to September 30, 2022 upon the occurrence of a further dilutive event. The result of the warrant exercise price downward adjustment on modification date was treated as a deemed dividend and fully amortized on the transaction date, and the Company recorded $91,375 to additional paid in capital and retained earnings on the Company’s balance sheets. In addition to the reduction in exercise price, there is a corresponding increase to the number of warrants to the holder on a prorated basis. Under certain conditions, such as the successful retirement of a convertible note through repayment, it is possible for the exercise price of these warrants to increase.
The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants

| ● | Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). |
| Level 1— | Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. |
| Level 2— | Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3— | Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. |
The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10-35 to our assets and liabilities are described below:

OVERVIEW
The Nighttime Snack Problem and Opportunity
What you eat before bed matters.
Nightfood is pioneering the category of sleep-friendly nighttime snacking.
Research indicates that humans are biologically hard-wired to load up on sweets and fats at night. Loading a surplus of calories (fuel) into the body before the long nightly fast is believed to be an outdated survival mechanism from our hunter-gatherer days. Unfortunately, while modern consumers know this type of consumption isn’t necessary for survival, willpower also weakens at night, so consumers are more likely to succumb to these unhealthy nighttime cravings for excess “survival calories”.
21
As a result, over 85% of adults report snacking regularly between dinner and bed, resulting in an estimated 700 million nighttime snack occasions weekly, and an annual spend on night snacks of over $50 billion. Because of our hard-wired evolutionary preferences for calorie-dense choices that increase the odds of short-term survival, the most popular nighttime snacks are ice cream, cookies, chips, and candy. These are all understood to be generally unhealthy. They can also impair sleep quality.
And, because these cravings are biologically hardwired, we believe such significant consumer spend on unhealthy nighttime snacking options will continue. And the actual consumption of unhealthy snacks at night is expected to remain a pattern and a problem for a significant portion of the population. We believe it’s a problem that demands a solution.
In recent years, billions of dollars of consumer spend have shifted to better-for-you versions of consumers’ favorite snacks. But we do not believe any of those products were nutritionally formulated to support better sleep. Nightfood snacks are not only formulated to be better-for-you, but they’re also formulated by sleep experts and nutritionists to provide a better nutritional foundation for sleep.
Almost half of all snacking takes place between dinner and bed. Nutrition is an important part of sleep-hygiene because what one eats at night impacts sleep. Recent industry surveys indicated that most modern consumers have begun to seek functional benefits from their snacks, and most consumers would also prefer better sleep.
As the pioneers of the nighttime snacking category, Nightfood accepts the responsibility to educate consumers and build the awareness required to grow the nighttime segment of the overall snack market. Along with that responsibility comes the opportunity to be the category king. We envision a future where nighttime specific, sleep-friendly snacks comprise a multi-billion-dollar segment of the estimated $150 billion American snack market.
Management believes significant latent consumer demand exists for better nighttime snacking options, and that a new consumer category, consisting of nighttime specific snacks, is set to emerge in the coming years. This belief is supported by research from major consumer goods research firms such as IRI Worldwide, and Mintel, who identified nighttime specific foods and beverages as one of the “most compelling and category changing trends” for 2017 and beyond. In recent years, CEO’s and other executives from major consumer goods conglomerates such as Nestle, PepsiCo, Mondelez, and Kellogg’s have commented on nighttime snack habits and patterns and alluded to the opportunity that might exist in solving this problem for consumers.
Our Scientific Advisors
Nightfood has established a highly credentialed Scientific Advisory Board consisting of sleep and nutrition experts to drive product formulation decisions and provide consumer confidence in the brand promise. The first member of this advisory board was Dr. Michael Grandner, Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona. Dr. Grandner has been conducting research on the link between nutrition and sleep for over fifteen years, and he believes improved nighttime nutritional choices can improve sleep, resulting in many short and long-term health benefits. In March of 2018, the Company added Dr. Michael Breus to their Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Breus, known to millions as The Sleep Doctor™, is believed to be the Nation’s most trusted authority on sleep. He regularly appears in the national media to educate and inform consumers so they can sleep better and lead happier, healthier, more productive lives. In July, 2018, we completed our Scientific Advisory Board with the addition of Lauren Broch, Ph.D, M.S. Dr. Broch is a sleep therapist and former Director of Education & Training at the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Broch also has a master’s degree in human nutrition. This combination allows her to play an important role in the formulation of Nightfood snacks. These experts work with Company management to ensure Nightfood products deliver on their nighttime-appropriate, and sleep-friendly promises.

Our Products
The most widely consumed nighttime snacks are cookies, chips, candy, and ice cream. Our goal is to offer consumers sleep-friendly versions of each of those snack formats as well as others.
Nightfood ice cream was introduced in 2019 and received significant media and industry coverage. We won the 2019 Product of the Year Award in the ice cream category in a Kantar innovation survey of over 40,000 consumers. We also won both the Best New Ice Cream and Best New Dairy Dessert awards at the World Dairy Innovation Awards.
The product received media coverage in outlets such as The Today Show, Oprah Magazine, The Rachael Ray Show, Food Network Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, Fox Business News, and many others.
Compared to regular ice cream, Nightfood is formulated to contain less sugar, less fat, fewer calories, more tryptophan, more protein, more prebiotic fiber, more vitamin B6, more calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
Nightfood ice cream is currently available in nine flavors. These are Full Moon Vanilla, Midnight Chocolate, Cold Brew Decaf, After Dinner Mint Chip, Milk & Cookie Dough, Cherry Eclipse, Bed and Breakfast, Cookies n’ Dreams, and Pickles For Two. Management recently made the decision to discontinue Pickles For Two and is currently evaluating temporarily reducing the number of ice cream pint SKUs in production to focus on the top-selling flavors for hotel distribution.
Nightfood mini-cookies were introduced in September, 2022. Our Prime-Time Chocolate Chip cookies are in limited hotel distribution and available for sale on our website. Our two newer flavors of cookies, Snoozerdoodle and Date Night Cherry Oat, are expected to be produced in December 2022. Our cookies offer similar nutritional benefits when compared to conventional cookies as our ice cream does when compared to conventional ice cream. Nightfood cookies feature less sugar, less fat, fewer calories, more protein, more prebiotic fiber, and contain added inositol and vitamin B6.
Sleep-friendly versions of additional popular nighttime snack formats are anticipated to be introduced in 2023 and beyond, subject to available funds and interest from our hotel partners and customers. Our development roadmap includes chips, single-serve ice cream novelties, candy, and more. Based on conversations with hotel decision-makers, Nightfood management believes certain hotels are seeking to have sleep-friendly snacks available in their lobby shops in multiple formats, so that, whatever snack format a guest might be in the mood for on any given night, there would be a sleep-friendly version available for them, alongside the traditional legacy brands such as Haagen Dazs and Chips Ahoy.
Each new Nightfood snack format would be expected to deliver sleep-friendly snacking in a way that is appropriate for that format. For example, Nightfood chips would not necessarily contain significantly more tryptophan than other brands of chips but would be expected to be more sleep-friendly in other ways.
The Competitive Landscape
The nutritional/snack food business is highly competitive and includes such participants as companies like Mondelez, Nestle S.A., Hershey’s, Hormel, Kraft/Heinz, Kellogg’s, Ferrero, Campbell Soup Company, Utz, General Mills, Mars, The Simply Good Foods Company, Wells Enterprises, Froneri, Unilever, Hostess, PepsiCo, and more. Many of these competitors have well established names and products.
In 2019, Nestle announced interest in the nighttime snacking space with the introduction of a candy-type product called GoodNight. In 2020, Pepsi announced the launch of a “relaxation” drink called Driftwell. Moreover, in 2021, Unilever announced they had initiated a year-long research study to identify how nutrition could be used to improve sleep, through impact on the gut microbiome. In September 2021, the Chief Medical Officer of Pepsi stated that Pepsi researchers were examining how foods and beverages affect neurochemical pathways, and that the company was interested in how this research could be used to impact sleep.
23
Such interest expressed in the link between nutrition and sleep, and the nighttime snack occasion, by some of the largest food and beverage companies in the world, indicates to us that the opportunity we’re pursuing is both financially and strategically significant.
Nightfood competes based upon the unique characteristics and positioning of our products and we expect to derive significant leverage from being the pioneer and creator of the emerging night snack category. However, other companies, including those with greater name recognition than us and greater resources may seek to introduce products that directly compete with our products. Management believes that if a competitor sought to develop a competing product, it could do so and begin to establish retail distribution in 12-24 months.
Management speculates that entry into our category by one of the global players would significantly benefit our Company by advancing the growth of the category while also significantly increasing the strategic value of our brand and distribution partnerships to the other global competitors. Such entrance into our category by a global competitor would likely force the other global snack players to enter the space, perhaps sooner than they’re prepared for. We believe that such a hypothetical situation would likely result in one or more suitors looking to acquire the Nightfood brand to allow them to better and more quickly compete in this potentially pivotal consumer category.
Based on the current acquisition climate in the consumer goods space, Management believes that successful growth of the Nightfood snack line would likely bring acquisition offers from potential competitors as quickly as it might actually bring competition on the shelf from those same potential competitors. Management has no knowledge or reason to believe that any of the large global food and beverage companies are actively planning a launch of any new internal products to compete in our category.
Leveraging Hotels
Management believes widespread distribution in the lobby shops of the world’s largest hotel chains will provide the Nightfood brand a unique and powerful competitive advantage within the sleep-friendly nighttime snack category. In the hotel vertical, the brand can be insulated from potential competition compared to in the supermarket environment. In addition, deep and wide hotel penetration could serve to entrench Nightfood as the leading brand within the category, with a de-facto endorsement by the hotel industry serving as a distinct competitive advantage for Nightfood when competing head-to-head with competitors in other segments of the marketplace.
Independent sales data from multiple sources reinforces our belief that Nightfood snacks can compete favorably with leading national brands within the context of hotel lobby markets. The Company expects to be able to expand its current hotel distribution based on that sales data and the overall wellness trend that plays an important role in today’s hospitality industry.
We believe the very nature of the hotel lobby shops, with small retail footprint and limited selection, will afford Nightfood a protected position in that high-margin vertical during the formative years of our category. Furthermore, management believes widespread hotel rollout of Nightfood snacks will serve to validate the concept of sleep-friendly nutrition and night snacks in the minds of consumers, potentially accelerating the adoption of the Nightfood brand in all relevant retail verticals.
DEVELOPMENT PLANS
The Company is focused on building the nighttime snack category by leveraging the expanding distribution of its snack products through hotel lobby marketplaces.
There are approximately 56,000 hotels in the United States. The five largest hotel companies account for approximately half of those locations, distributed among dozens of hotel chains. Those are (in alphabetical order) Choice Hotels, Hilton Worldwide, InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriott International, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Management is working directly with three of those five companies to establish expansion and/or introduction of Nightfood snacks. Two of those companies have executed corporate-level tests of Nightfood ice cream sales in some of their hotel locations, and both have declared those tests successful.
24
Hotel lobby shops continue to evolve in terms of size, product assortment, and increased emphasis from hotel brands as a source of revenue and customer service and satisfaction.
Management believes hotels have an obligation to support better sleep for their guests at every touchpoint. Unfortunately, the most popular snacks in hotel lobby shops tend to be both unhealthy, and disruptive to sleep quality.
With focus on sleep and wellness trending powerfully within the hospitality vertical, Management believes sleep-friendly nighttime snacks will soon become standard within the hotel industry, and that Nightfood will remain the leading brand as the category matures.
As a result of our decision to focus on highly relevant and high-margin hotel distribution, we have temporarily shifted our focus away from traditional supermarket distribution. Management expects widespread hotel distribution to generate significant incremental sales with higher gross and net margins than the supermarket vertical, where slotting, advertising, and trade promotion expenses make profitability more difficult to attain. More importantly, we believe hotels are where our brand can thrive, even against the most popular legacy brands in snacking.
Current Hotel Distribution
In May, 2022, one of the five global hotel companies mentioned in this section launched Nightfood ice cream into one of their hotel chains, an extended-stay hotel brand with approximately 500 properties in the United States. To date, our pints are currently in approximately 300 – 350 of those properties, with more of the properties adding our ice cream over time. In September, 2022, because of our successful sales results across that first hotel chain, that company notified management that Nightfood would begin to be introduced in two of their additional chains, comprising over 3,000 additional properties. That introduction was expected to begin in October, 2022, but has not yet begun as of the date of this filing.
Nightfood is currently available in approximately 500 hotel lobby shops across the United States. This includes select locations from leading national and international hotel chains such as Holiday Inn Express, Fairfield Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, Hyatt House, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Springhill Suites, and more.
Nightfood ice cream is available for hotels to purchase nationally through Vistar, a leading national wholesale distributor serving the hospitality vertical. Nightfood cookies are not yet in wholesale distribution, but it is expected that the cookies will soon be available through one or more national distributors that service the hotel industry.
Recent Hotel Sales Data
Impulsify is an industry leader in hotel marketplace intelligence, compiling real-time proprietary retail sales data from millions of hotel retail transactions rung into their point-of-sale solutions. Impulsify data was analyzed for the months of September and October 2022, across the subset of 30 Impulsify-reporting hotels which sold both Nightfood and Haagen Dazs pints, and no other brands. Nightfood captured 39% of the unit sales while Haagen Dazs captured 61%. The average selling price for Haagen Dazs in those hotels was $7.55 and Nightfood was $7.90.
A separate set of independent point-of-sale data, with zero overlap to the previously mentioned data set, showed Nightfood outselling Ben & Jerry’s and Baskin Robbins pints in a controlled test which included more than 30 lobby shops, across many popular hotel brands. Pints from all three brands were priced at $8.50. Nightfood captured 43% of the total pint volume, Ben & Jerry’s had 34%, and Baskin Robbins had 23%. This data was collected over nine weeks ending October 31, 2022.
During the first six weeks of the test, ads for Nightfood were run in a segment of the hotels. Surprisingly, Nightfood had stronger relative sales in the hotels without ads. For the final three weeks, there were no ads for any of the brands in any of the properties. With all ads removed, Nightfood’s sales remained constant while the other brands sales decreased. As a result, Nightfood’s share of overall pint sales surged from 40% in the first six weeks to 50% for the final three weeks.
The conclusions drawn from the test were that ads for Nightfood ice cream pints actually lifted sales of the more well-known competitors (which is not uncommon), and that sleep-friendly Nightfood, without ads, was decisively the top-selling pint for the entire test period.
25
The Future
Management believes such strong sales results in hotels relative to well-established, decades-old national brands will enable Nightfood to secure additional hotel chain brand-level distribution arrangements for our sleep-friendly snacks.
While the dollar value of ice cream sales in any individual hotel shop are understood to be modest, Nightfood’s strong relative sales data obtained over recent months, and so quickly after our launch, affirms our belief that sleep-friendly snacks can outsell legacy snack brands in the high-margin hotel environment.
The Company anticipates adding new distribution in thousands of hotels in the coming months through relationships it has established with some of the largest companies in the world in the hospitality vertical. We have built what we believe is a very valuable network and distribution infrastructure, which includes global hospitality companies, group purchasing organizations, hotel management groups, and distributors. Potential new distribution is anticipated to include Nightfood ice cream pints and Nightfood cookies, as well as additional Nightfood snack formats during calendar 2023.
As we add additional hotels and chains, we believe there will be added pressure on the rest of the hotel industry to also offer sleep-friendly
snacks or risk falling behind in the eyes of wellness-conscious travelers.
We believe that consumers seeing our snacks in some of the most trusted hotel chains in the United States will drive awareness not only of our brand, but of the fact that what one eats before bed matters. We believe broad acceptance of this key consumer insight will help bring the nighttime snacking category to life.
In addition to revenue growth, increased awareness, and operating profitability, Management believes that national hotel distribution of its sleep-friendly nighttime snacks will provide the foundation on which the nighttime snack category can be built.
The primary goal of the company is to successfully develop and nurture the nighttime snack category.
Management believes that success in attaining this goal will create significant value for shareholders, as it would likely result in Nightfood not only being the category pioneer, but also establishing a position from which Nightfood can remain the dominant brand in this potential multi-billion dollar consumer category.
INFLATION
Inflation can be expected to have an impact on our operating costs. Similar to many other industries, we have recently seen increases in the cost of certain ingredients and packaging materials. Such increases will either result in lower gross margins or necessitate an increase in our wholesale pricing. A prolonged period of inflation could cause a general economic downturn and negatively impact our results.
SEASONALITY
With a focus on distribution of our snacks in hotels over the next 1-2 years before we envision revisiting a focus on supermarkets, a certain amount of seasonality is expected. As U.S. hotel occupancy has a history of peaking in June and July, with occupancy rates approximately 10% above the average, it is possible that we will experience an increase in sales related to that occupancy peak.
As an early-stage and growing brand, with a product mix that is expected to include a variety of snacks such as ice cream, cookies, chips, candy, and more, the full impact of seasonality on our business might not be fully understood for several additional annual cycles.
26
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including the measures to reduce its spread, and the impact on the economy, has still not been fully predicted.
We have experienced minimal issues with supply chain and logistics, except that there have been recent and significant increases in costs relating to freight and packaging. Order processing function has been normal to date, and our manufacturers have assured us that their operations are “business as usual” as of the time of this filing.
It is possible that the impact of the pandemic could make it more difficult in the future for the Company to access required growth capital, possibly rendering us unable to meet certain debts and expenses.
It is impossible to know what the future holds with regard to the virus, both for our company and in the broader sense. There are many uncertainties regarding the current coronavirus pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, vendors, and business partners. It is difficult to know if the pandemic has materially impacted the results of operations, and we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to make adjustments accordingly, if necessary.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021.
For the three months ended September 2022 and 2021, we had Gross Sales of $99,223 and $189,536, respectively and Net Revenues (Net Revenues are defined as Gross Sales, less Slotting Fees, Sales Discounts, and certain other revenue reductions) of $79,790 and $114,453, respectively, and incurred operating losses of $558,607 and $833,675, respectively. Accounting standards require exclusion on the income statement of Gross Sales made to a customer to whom the Company is paying slotting fees (slotting fees are fees occasionally charged by retailers and distributors to add a new product into their product assortment). In those situations, the Gross Sales number is reduced, dollar for dollar, by the slotting fees, until the total cost of the slotting is covered. These slotting fees do not appear on the income statement as an expense. Rather, Slotting Fees, along with Sales Discounts, are applied against Gross Sales, resulting in Net Revenue, as shown below. The netting of Gross Sales against slotting and sales discounts, as described and shown below, results in the Net Revenue number at the top of the income statement. This is not a reflection of the amount of product shipped to customers, but rather a function of the way certain sales are accounted for when those sales are made to customers who are charging slotting fees.
| GROSS SALES | For the three months period ended September 30, 2022 | For the three months period ended September 30, 2021 | ||||||
| Gross product sales | $ | 99,223 | $ | 189,356 | ||||
| Less: | ||||||||
| Slotting fees | - | |||||||
| Sales discounts, promotions, and other reductions | (19,253 | ) | (75,083 | ) | ||||
| Net Revenues | $ | 79,970 | $ | 114,453 | ||||
The decrease in Gross Sales relative to the same period in 2021 was largely due to the fact that we had fewer traditional supermarket points of distribution in the current reporting period. Over time, we expect that anticipated hotel expansion will more than offset the loss of these sales, resulting in higher gross sales and net revenues in future quarters. Furthermore, the hotel sales project to be significantly more profitable on a per unit basis, as sales are expected to be conducted at full wholesale pricing, and line items such as slotting, advertising, and price promotions project to be greatly reduced or entirely eliminated in relation to hotel sales.
27
For the three months ended September 30 2022 and 2021, Cost of Product Sold increased to $125,121 from $124,874. The reason Cost of Product Sold increased despite the decrease in gross sales is the result of significant freight cost increases on a per unit basis. This is partly due to increases in gas prices driving up freight costs in general, and also due to our average shipment being smaller than for the same period last year. It is expected that as we add more hotel points of distribution, our average order size will increase, and freight as a percentage of sales will decrease substantially.
For the three months ended September 30 2022 and 2021, Advertising and Promotional Expenses decreased from $305,016 to $37,166. This decrease is largely due to a shift in distribution focus to the hotel vertical. Hotel distribution is expected to deliver higher gross and net margins over time. One significant driver of higher expected margins is the lack of need for advertising and promotion spend in hotel distribution compared to the high advertising and promotion expenses when trying to drive growth in traditional retail and supermarket distribution.
With a focus on the hotel vertical, we expect advertising costs to remain relatively low when compared to net revenues.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Selling, General, and Administrative expenses decreased from $275,372 to $126,343. The largest component of this decrease was a decrease in investor relations expenses along with decreases in storage and other warehouse expenses and research and development expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Professional Fees increased from $242,866 to $349,949. This increase was largely due to expenses related to the preparation, filing, and qualification of our Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A plus expenses related to the debt financing closed on September 23, 2022.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Total Operating Expenses decreased from $948,128 to $638,577. As discussed above, the major component of this decrease was the reduction in advertising and marketing spend, which we expect to be a pattern going forward while hotels remain the primary focus of our distribution efforts.
Total Operating Expenses includes those expenses associated with running the operating portion of our business (such as the manufacturing our snacks, advertising for our product, warehousing, freight, and the like). It also includes certain cash and non-cash expenses incurred by us related to activities such as SEC compliance, fundraising activities, and maintaining our public entity in good standing. Our revenues and operations are currently limited, therefore expenses relating to financing and compliance activities make up a larger portion of our total expenses than they might in a larger company. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our Total Operating Expenses were $638,577. Of that, $274,598 is related to running our business operations, and $363,979 is related to financing, compliance, and other non-operational activities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Loss From Operations decreased from $833,675 to $558,609. This decrease was due to the relatively large decrease in operating expenses when compared to the smaller decrease in net revenues. As with Total Operating Expenses, Loss From Operations includes $363,979 of expenses that are classified as operating expenses, but are related to non-operational activities. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the losses incurred from actual operating activities of the business were $194,628.
For the three months ended September 30 2022 and 2021, Total Other Expenses increased to $642,503 from $0. The majority of these expenses are related to accounting treatment applied to debt and the amortization of debt discount of $544,545. This is not an actual cash expense, but is a function of the way certain financing activities are accounted for. This increase in Total Other Expenses resulted in an increase in Net Loss to $1,201,110 for the period ending September 30, 2022 compared to $833,675 for the period ending September 30, 2021. Of that total Net Loss of $1,201,110, losses incurred from actual operating activities of the business were $194,628, and $1,006,482 was related to other expenses such as interest, SEC compliance, and fundraising activities.
Customers
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had five customers accounting for over 10% of gross sales. One of those accounted for approximately 29% of the gross sales and another accounted for approximately 22% of the gross sales.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had four customers accounting for over 10% of gross sales. Two of those customers each accounted for approximately 20% of the gross sales, one for 17% and one for 14%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash on hand of $220,412, receivables of $130,396 and inventory value of $433,188.
Our cash on hand is not adequate to satisfy our long-term working capital needs. We believe that our current capitalization structure, combined with ongoing increases in distribution, revenues, and market capitalization, will enable us to successfully secure required financing to continue our growth.
On October 24, 2022, the Company launched a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (also known as “Regulation A+”) with the intent to raise capital through an equity crowdfunding campaign. We believe this offering, if we successfully raise the maximum amount being offered, will enable us to eliminate all corporate debt and operate the company until significant growth milestones are achieved, perhaps including attaining profitability
Because the business has limited operating history and sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. Management has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will again be dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing, including our Regulation A+ offering, and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations long-term.
28
The Company cannot give any assurance that it will, in the future, be able to achieve a level of profitability from the sale of its products to sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Since our inception, we have sustained operating losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $1,201,110 compared to $833,675 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The majority of our net loss for this current reporting period is related to the way certain financing activities were accounted for, and not related to losses from business operations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $414,610 compared to net cash used of $878,394 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease is largely due to an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in the amount of stock issued for services for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year.
We did not use any cash in investing activities, during the three months ended September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, net cash aggregating $354,145 was provided by financing activities, compared to $308,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. In the three months ended September 30, 2021, our financing activities consisted of sales of our Series B Preferred Stock. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, our financing activities consisted of the issuance of debt in the form of a twelve-month promissory note.
From our inception in January 2010 through September 30, 2022, we have generated an accumulated deficit of approximately $29,648,030. This is not debt and this is not an amount that needs to be paid out at any point in the future. An accumulated deficit reflects a negative balance of retained earnings and an accumulation of historical losses over time, related to both operations and financing activities. It is not unusual for early-stage companies to have significant accumulated deficit, even after turning profitable. Many large, fast growing, and successful companies have reported accumulated deficits in recent years, such as Warby Parker, The Honest Company, Beyond Meat, Roblox, Robinhood, Sweetgreen, Oatly, Rivian, Celsius Holdings, Chobani, and Tesla. In our case, like many of these others, an accumulated deficit is a function of losses sustained over time, along with the costs associated with raising operating capital.
Assuming we raise additional funds and continue operations, we expect to incur additional operating losses during the next two to four quarters and possibly thereafter. We plan to continue to pay or satisfy existing obligations and commitments and finance our operations, as we have in the past, primarily through the sale of our securities and other forms of external financing until such time that we are able to generate sufficient funds from the sale of our products to finance our operations, of which we can give no assurance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate past judgments and our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory write-downs and write offs, deferred income taxes, provision for contractual obligations and our ability to continue as a going concern. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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 apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
No report required.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2022 due to the lack of full-time accounting and management personnel. We will consider hiring additional employees when we obtain sufficient capital.
As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures such as implementing and documenting our internal controls procedures.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. 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 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 error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
