NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business
Nightfood Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “the Company” or “Nightfood”) is a Nevada corporation organized on October 16, 2013 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nightfood, Inc., a New York corporation from its sole shareholder, Sean Folkson. All of our operations are conducted through its subsidiary Nightfood, Inc. We are also the sole shareholder of MJ Munchies, Inc., which owns certain intellectual property but does not have any operations as of the period covered by these financial statements.
Our corporate address is 520 White Plains Road – Suite 500, Tarrytown, New York 10591 and our telephone number is 888-888-6444. 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 and six months ended December 31, 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 $ |
7
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. |
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 carry-forwards. 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 |
8
| ● | 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. |
| ● | 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. |
9
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 March 31, 2023 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. |
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, on
issuance date 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 $
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. |
10
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. |
Customer Concentration
| ● | During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one customer account for approximately 34% of the gross sales. One other customer accounted for approximately 31% of gross sales, and two other customers accounted for between 10 and 12% of gross sales. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had one customer account for approximately 30% of the gross sales. One other customer accounted for approximately 23% of gross sales, and two other customers accounted for between 10 and 15% of gross sales.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one customer
account for approximately 94% of the gross sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had one customer account for

Receivables Concentration
| ● | As
of March 31, 2023, the Company had receivables due from eight customers. One of which 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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. |
11
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
| ● | 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, 2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance does not materially impact our financial statements and related disclosures. |
| ● | The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |
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 nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had an operating and net
loss of $ |
12
| ● | The Company has limited available cash resources and it does not believe its cash on hand will be adequate to satisfy its 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 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. |
| ● | 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. |
| ● | 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. |
| ● | The Company has experienced no major issues with supply chain or logistics. Order processing function has been normal to date, and its manufacturers have assured the Company that their operations are “business as usual” as of the time of this filing. |
13
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 March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. |
5. Inventories
| ● | Inventory consists of the following at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022: |
| As of | As of | |||||||
| March 31, 2023 | June 30, 2022 | |||||||

| Inventory: Ingredients | $ | $ | ||||||
| Inventory: Packaging | $ | $ | ||||||
| Inventory: Allowance for Unsaleable Invent | $ | $ | ||||||

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.
6. Other current assets
| ● | Other current assets consist of the following vendor deposits at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022. |

Certain warrants in the below table include dilution protection for the warrant holders, which could cause the exercise price to be adjusted either higher or lower as a result of various financing events and stock transactions. The result of the warrant exercise price downward adjustment on modification date is treated as a deemed dividend and fully amortized on the transaction date. In addition to the reduction in exercise price, with certain wararnts 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 and for the number of warrants outstanding to decrease.

OVERVIEW
What you eat before bed matters.
Nightfood is pioneering the category of sleep-friendly nighttime snacks.
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”.
As a result, over 85% of American adults report snacking regularly between dinner and bed, resulting in an estimated 700 million nighttime snack occasions weekly in the U.S., 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. 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 quality 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.
32
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 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.
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 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.
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 has been produced 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. The Company is currently focused on two of those flavors, Midnight Chocolate and Cookies n’ Dreams, which are the two flavors in national hotel distribution. Pickles for Two has been discontinued, and the other 6 flavors are not scheduled for additional production in the short term. Management anticipates bringing some or all of those flavors back into production in the future, if and when Nightfood ice cream pints are reintroduced into supermarket distribution.
Nightfood mini-cookies were introduced in September, 2022. Our Prime-Time Chocolate Chip cookies are in limited hotel distribution and available for sale direct-to-consumer on our website. In February 2023, these cookies became available for wholesale purchase through both US Foods Direct and Sysco’s Supplies on the Fly. Two additional flavors of Nightfood mini-cookies, Snoozerdoodle and Date Night Cherry Oat, are expected to be produced in 2023. 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.
On December 12, 2022, the Company announced two corporate-level partnership tests for a single-serve 25-gram Nightfood Prime-Time Chocolate Chip cookie. One test is with an international hotel chain with over 400 locations in the United States. The other test is being conducted as a proof-of-concept test with Nestlé START and CO. and TAP Air Portugal. The data and information collected will be used by Nestlé START and CO. and Nightfood to evaluate consumer attitudes related to nighttime snacking and sleep-friendly nighttime snacks among American and European consumers, and to identify potential opportunities for future international business in partnership with Nestlé.
33
The hotel test began in March, 2023. Based on the feedback received to date from brand management as well as from local management at several of the hotel locations involved in the pilot, we are expecting the test will be declared a success and for national launch throughout the chain to begin in the coming months. As of the time of this filing, no definitive decision on a national rollout expected to result from a successful test has been communicated to us. The most recent update is that brand management is collecting additional research in advance of presenting the program to the ownership group for final approval. As no definitive decision has been communicated to us, it is possible that the chain could decide not to launch the program either at the scale initially expected, or to launch it at all.
The airline test began in April, 2023. During the test period, TAP flights from Miami to Lisbon are being stocked with Nightfood cookies as a passenger amenity. The individually wrapped 25-gram Nightfood sleep-friendly chocolate chip cookies contain a QR code and web address that passengers can visit to fill out a short survey, including questions about their nighttime snacking behaviors when not traveling. It was anticipated prior to launch that it might be difficult to collect data from a sufficient number of passengers through this method. To be able to gather a larger sample of consumer feedback from a greater percentage of passengers, TAP will begin using the in-flight entertainment system (IFE) on each flight to solicit and collect traveler survey responses. This is being done as part of our partnership with TAP and Nestlé at zero cost to Nightfood other than the minimal cost invested to produce a short, animated video explaining the survey to airline passengers.
Over time, sleep-friendly versions of additional popular nighttime snack formats are anticipated to be developed and introduced into the marketplace subject to available funds and interest from our partners and customers. Our development roadmap includes chips, single-serve ice cream novelties, candy, and more. We believe hotels can benefit from having sleep-friendly snacks available in their lobby shops in multiple formats, so that, whatever snack format a guest might crave on any given night, there would be a sleep-friendly version available for them, alongside the traditional legacy brands such as Haagen Dazs, Pringles, Klondike Bars, M&M’s, ClifBar, 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
Almost half of all snacking takes place after dinner.
The exact statistics vary from study to study, but all data seem to support consumer spend in the United States of well over $1 billion spent weekly on snacks consumed before bed.
We believe that the nighttime snack occasion and sleep-friendly nighttime snacking will become competitive in the coming years due to the sheer number of snacks consumed before bed along with the mainstream consumer’s desire for better health and better sleep.
A recent Sleep Foundation poll indicated that 93% of American adults snack before bed at least once per week, and that the average adult snacks before bed 3.9 times per week. That equates to over one billion snacks consumed before bed weekly just in the United States with a much larger global opportunity as similar snack habits are seen in most developed nations around the world.
It’s important to note that several global food and beverage companies have publicly shown meaningful interest in addressing the nighttime daypart and in the link between what is consumed at night and sleep quality. In 2019, Nestle introduced a candy-type sleep-aid product called GoodNight. In 2020, Pepsi announced the launch of a “relaxation” drink called Driftwell. In January 2023, Post Holdings introduced a cereal called Sweet Dreams. On the Post website, it indicates that Sweet Dreams is “part of a healthy sleep routine” and includes a “nighttime herbal blend”. In Spain, Nestlé has a product called Nesquik Noche, which is Nesquik powder with sleep-friendly botanicals such as chamomile, lime blossom, and lemon balm.
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.
34
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.
Since 2020, Nightfood has been approached by several multinational food and beverage companies to explore potential partnerships. In March, 2023, we announced the initiation of a proof-of-concept test with Nestlé START and CO. The objective of Nestlé START and CO is to “identify and select startups that want to grow by exploiting synergies and thus create new paths and future businesses in partnership with Nestlé.” There is no guarantee that our relationship with Nestlé will advance beyond this proof-of-concept phase, but we are optimistic that the consumer demand for nighttime snack solutions will be evident and next steps will be explored.
We believe there’s a potential billion-dollar consumer category around the concept of sleep-friendly nighttime snacking. We’re pioneering that category and we believe we can establish and maintain a leadership position.
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. Other companies, including those with greater name recognition than us and greater resources may seek to introduce products that directly compete with our products or to partner with us to gain strategic advantage within the space.
Management speculates that full-scale 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 existing 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.
Leveraging Hotels
Management believes widespread distribution in the lobby shops of the world’s largest hotel chains and, potentially, as an amenity gifted to guests upon check-in or in rooms will provide the Nightfood brand a unique and powerful competitive advantage within the sleep-friendly nighttime snack category we’re pioneering. In the hotel vertical, the Nightfood brand can be better insulated against 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 leading brands in the hotel industry serving as a distinct competitive advantage when competing head-to-head with competitors in other market channels.
Independent point-of-purchase lobby shop 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 strong relative unit sales and the overall wellness trend that plays an important role in today’s hospitality industry.
We recently announced a national hotel chain was testing Nightfood cookies as a give-away amenity at check-in. While no definitive decision on the national rollout expected to result from a successful test has been communicated to us as of this filing, we have received feedback directly from local management at a significant number of the testing properties and from brand decision-makers. The most recent update is that brand management is collecting additional research in advance of presenting the program to the ownership group for final approval. It is our expectation that the test will be declared a success and for national launch throughout the chain to begin in the coming months. Again, no definitive decision has been communicated to us, and it is possible that the chain could decide not to launch the program either at the scale initially expected, or to launch it at all.
35
The testing chain is a division of an international hotel group with over a dozen brands and over 5,000 properties in the United States. If launched as expected, we believe having potentially hundreds of thousands of cookies handed out monthly to travelers in the testing chain would have many benefits, both direct and indirect.
The projections we’ve received indicate that the hotel properties within the chain would combine to purchase hundreds of thousands of cookies a month and deliver six-figures of monthly revenue to Nightfood. Secondary benefits potentially include Nightfood distribution in hotel lobby shops of that chain and in additional hotels under that corporate umbrella, as well as distribution in other chains that are part of other corporate flags.
We also believe it will be extremely beneficial for potentially hundreds of thousands of consumers every month to be introduced to the Nightfood brand through the receipt of a free Nightfood cookie at check-in.
We believe such an arrangement could result in enhanced consumer and investor awareness, an increase in high margin direct to consumer sales with no expenses for customer acquisition, and a significant increase in sales velocities in hotels that sell Nightfood snack products in their markets.
On March 13, 2023, Nightfood announced Sonesta International Hotels corporation would be introducing Nightfood ice cream across multiple hotel brands, including Sonesta Select, Sonesta ES Suites, and Sonesta Simply Suites. These chains represent approximately 160 of the over 1,200 hotels in the Sonesta network, which ranks Sonesta as the eighth largest hotel company in the United States. According to reports received by the Company several weeks ago, Nightfood ice cream had been introduced in approximately 25% of those 160 properties with Sonesta management working to bring that number up to the target of 100%.
On March 16, 2023, we announced we had secured Qualified Vendor Status with Choice Hotels. Choice recently acquired the Radisson hotel chains and is one of the largest lodging franchisors in the world. Under this agreement, Nightfood’s sleep-friendly ice cream, cookies, and future snacks will be promoted to Choice franchisees for inclusion in hotel lobby marketplaces, and, potentially, as guest amenities.
Those two announcements, each of which was approved by the respective company prior to release, were the first instances where Nightfood has been approved to publicly identify major hotel distribution partners by name. We believe that the public announcements of our relationships with these two global hotel companies represents a major milestone for our company that can accelerate our distribution growth.
In the weeks since those announcements, we have entered brand-level discussions with two additional global hotel companies with which we previously had minimal or zero direct interaction. Each of those companies has over 4,000 hotels globally, with the majority in the United States. It is still early in those discussions, but initial feedback and interest is strong and we believe distribution momentum and industry awareness and acceptance will all continue to build.
Our current hotel distribution is small but growing. As we add more hotel points of distribution and more brand-level relationships, we believe hotels not yet carrying Nightfood will be more motivated to add our snacks to keep up with what their competitors are offering guests. Should we be successful in growing our distribution, we believe the hotel industry can reach a tipping point at which time hotels either have sleep-friendly snacks available for guests or risk being viewed as behind the competition as it relates to their snack offerings.
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 additional relevant retail verticals.
36
DEVELOPMENT PLANS
The Company is focused on building and leading the nighttime snack category by leveraging the expanding distribution of its snack products through hotel lobby marketplaces and as give-away amenities.
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. Other major players include Hyatt, Best Western, and Sonesta.
Because the industry is highly concentrated, there are a small number of decision-makers and potential customers influencing the entire industry.
Management has built relationships and is in discussions with corporate-level and brand-level decision makers for many of these hotel companies. One of the companies launched Nightfood ice cream nationally in one of their extended-stay hotel chains in 2022 resulting in hundreds of points of distribution and national wholesale distribution. Another, Sonesta, moved to establish Nightfood distribution in three of their chains in March 2023. Also in March 2023, Nightfood became a Qualified Vendor of Choice Hotels.
Hotel lobby shops continue to evolve in terms of size, product assortment, and increased emphasis from hotel brand managers as a source of both revenue and customer service and satisfaction. An April 2023 survey conducted by third-party research platform Centiment on behalf of Nightfood and HOTELS Magazine revealed that the hotel lobby shop experience significantly influences travelers’ perception of a hotel brand. It also revealed that travelers are largely disappointed in the snack selections in hotel lobby shops, with 92% agreeing that hotels should have more healthy and better-for-you options for guests.
Management believes hotels have an obligation to support wellness and 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 higher-margin hotel distribution, we have temporarily shifted our focus away from traditional supermarket distribution. While it is possible that Nightfood pints can still be found on shelves in certain supermarkets, we have no supermarket distribution relationships that we would consider active currently.
Management expects widespread hotel distribution to generate significant sales with higher gross and net margins than the supermarket vertical, where slotting, advertising, and trade promotion expenses make profitability more difficult to attain. Most importantly, we believe hotels are where our brand can thrive, even against the most popular legacy brands in snacking.
Despite experiencing delays in scaling distribution related to changes in personnel, priorities, and timelines at certain chains, our goal is to make sleep-friendly snack availability a hotel industry standard. Management believes significant progress has been made over the last twelve months. We expect to establish corporate-level commitment to the inclusion of sleep-friendly snacks from additional major hotel chains which will drive the industry beyond the tipping point, making sleep-friendly snacks in hotels a hospitality industry standard, and bringing Nightfood to widespread hotel distribution, profitability, and a position of category control.

Hotel Distribution
In May, 2022, a global hotel company launched Nightfood ice cream onto the planogram for one of their hotel chains, an extended-stay hotel brand which contains approximately 500 properties in the United States. To date, approximately 400 of those properties have received one or more shipments of Nightfood.
In September, 2022, as a result of successful sales results observed in that first hotel chain, that company notified Management that Nightfood pints 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. Subsequent internal restructuring at the hotel company resulted in delays and modifications to that plan. There is currently no specific timeline in place for expansion, but Management expects to be able to leverage our relationships and success in the initial chain to establish Nightfood distribution across multiple hotel chains within that corporate umbrella, including the two aforementioned chains, and other national chains within that company as per the original plan presented to us in 2021.
Nightfood has been introduced into approximately 600 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, Sonesta and Choice hotels.
Nightfood ice cream is available for hotels to purchase nationally through Vistar, a leading national wholesale distributor serving the hospitality vertical. After a months-long process, in February of 2023, Nightfood cookies secured dropship distribution through US Foods Direct and through Sysco’s Supplies on the Fly. US Foods and Sysco are leading broadline distributors that sell extensively to 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 at approximately 1,000 hotels across the United States. Impulsify data was analyzed for the months of July 2022 through December 2022, across the subset of approximately 30 Impulsify-reporting hotels which sold both Nightfood and Haagen Dazs pints, and no other brands. During that 6-month period, Impulsify confirmed that Nightfood captured 37.9% of the unit sales in those hotels while Haagen Dazs captured 62.1%. The average selling price for Nightfood in those hotels was $.28 higher per pint than Haagen Dazs.
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 this test, ads for Nightfood were run in a subsegment of the hotels. Surprisingly, Nightfood had stronger relative sales in the segment of the hotels that did not run 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 unit sales remained constant while the other brands unit sales decreased. As a result, Nightfood’s share of overall pint sales surged from approximately 40% in the first six weeks to approximately 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. As an unknown brand competing against industry-leading legacy brands, Nightfood was able to capture a significant portion of pint volume sales in those hotels. Management believes this is due to Nightfood’s sleep-friendly brand promise and positioning, and the consumer purchase context in the hotel lobby shop where snacks are typically purchased for immediate consumption, unlike supermarkets.
38
During our initial corporate-level hotel test in early 2021, Nightfood averaged unit sales of 5-6 pints per hotel per week in the testing properties. Those sales numbers were in line with what was observed when Nightfood secured distribution in a handful of hotels in late 2019 prior to COVID.
In August of 2021, we received a multi-chain launch timeline along with demand projections provided by our hotel partner which exceeded the 5-6 pints per property week recorded during the test.
However, the independent 2022 sales data we have access to for over 60 hotels indicates that an average hotel selling pint ice cream sells approximately 4-6 pints per week total (across all ice cream brands) with significant variance from property to property. Capturing 33-50% of that would translate to approximately 1-3 pints sold per hotel property per week.
In the hotel environment, the data indicates that Nightfood competes favorably with much larger and more established brands, such as Haagen Dazs, Baskin Robbins, and Ben & Jerry’s, even with zero promotion beyond our brand packaging. We believe our ability to compete is based on our sleep-friendly brand promise combined with the context of buying snacks in a hotel marketplace (typically shortly before bed and for immediate consumption).
Because of those dynamics, we believe that we can similarly compete in other key snack categories in the hotel lobby shop in addition to ice cream pints, including higher velocity products like cookies, chips, candy, and single-serve ice cream novelties. We believe successful introduction of such other snack formats, if we’re able to attain similar relative unit sales in the range of 33% - 50% of category sales, would result in Nightfood revenues approaching and exceeding $10 per day per property.
The Future
Management believes there are significant trends working in our favor as we work to build a significant and profitable business through hotel lobby shop distribution of our snacks. We believe the hospitality industry is increasingly focused on wellness; Sleep is continuing to gain traction as a critical pillar of health; hotel lobby shops are becoming more prevalent and more evolved, and a growing source of guest delight or frustration.
Next to the regular coffee, hotels will typically have a pot of decaf. Along those lines, we believe lobby shops will evolve to having sleep-friendly snacks next to “regular” snacks. We believe this will be across multiple formats, including ice cream, cookies, chips, candy, nutrition bars, and more.
We believe that such an evolution based on the trends mentioned above, along with our strong sales results in hotels relative to well-established, decades-old national brands, will enable Nightfood to continue to secure additional hotel chain brand-level distribution arrangements for our sleep-friendly ice cream and other sleep-friendly snack formats.
While the dollar value of ice cream pint revenue in any individual hotel shop is understood to be modest, Nightfood’s strong relative sales data, affirms our belief that sleep-friendly snacks can thrive alongside legacy snack brands in the high-margin hotel environment.
Our goal is to continue to add new distribution for our ice cream, cookies, and other snack products in thousands of hotels through relationships we continue to build with some of the largest hotel companies in the world. With multiple products in hotels, including higher-velocity snack formats, we believe revenues of $10 per property per day can be attained.
We continue to evolve what we believe is already a very valuable network and distribution infrastructure, which includes global hospitality companies, hotel group purchasing organizations, hotel management groups, and wholesale distributors.
39
To date, introduction of Nightfood snacks into hotel brands has been slower than originally anticipated. This is largely due to delays and internal changes at our first global hotel partner, and the resulting trickle-down effect from the changes to their launch timeline and promotional plan.
Now that we’ve been able to publicly announce relationships with major hotel companies, we expect adoption of Nightfood within the industry to accelerate. We anticipate securing additional retail and amenity distribution and exposure in additional hotels and chains. We believe such distribution will create added incentive for the rest of the hotel industry to also offer sleep-friendly snacks or risk falling behind in the eyes of wellness-conscious travelers.
Specifically, the prospects of Nightfood to secure placement as a check-in amenity in a large international hotel chain as a result of our recently announced amenity test could be a major springboard into additional distribution. Such an amenity program, if adopted, is expected to result in hundreds of thousands of travelers monthly receiving a Nightfood cookie at check-in resulting in six-figures of monthly revenue, and a large number of frequent travelers being exposed to our products. We believe such a program would lead to additional distribution of multiple snack formats in multiple chains, setting the foundation for profitability, and category leadership.
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 distribution in supermarkets, a certain amount of seasonality is expected. U.S. hotel occupancy has a history of peaking in June and July, with occupancy rates approximately 10% above the average. In addition to lower occupancy, we would expect a decrease in ice cream consumption in colder months. Those two factors can be expected to contribute to lower sales in the colder months and elevated sales in warmer months.
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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 and 2021.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 we had Gross Sales of $15,217 and $176,020 and Net Revenues (Net Revenues are defined as Gross Sales, less Slotting Fees, Sales Discounts, and certain other revenue reductions) of $10,605 and $121,173, respectively, and incurred an operating loss of $145,054 and $333,473, respectively.

| Sales discounts, promotions, and other reductions | (4,612 | ) | (48,847 | ) | ||||
| Net Revenues | $ | 10,605 | $ | 127173 | ||||
The decrease in Gross Sales relative to the same period in 2022 was largely the result of our strategic pivot away from supermarket distribution to focus exclusively on the higher context and higher margin hotel vertical, where our products can more favorably compete against more established traditional brands.
Furthermore, the hotel sales project to be significantly more profitable on a per unit basis, as sales will be conducted at full wholesale pricing, and line items such as slotting, advertising, and pricing promotions project to be greatly reduced or entirely eliminated.
For the three months ended March 31 2023 and 2022, Cost of Product Sold totaled $58,474 and $146,766, respectively. This decrease is due to the decrease in gross sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Cost of Product Sold exceeded Net Revenues due to the fact that our freight costs remain significantly elevated on a per-unit basis in the short term due to the fact that most of the orders shipped to our wholesale customers during this period were partial pallets to accommodate our current ramp-up phase. As more points of distribution are added, average order sizes are expected to increase, which is expected to significantly drive down freight costs as a percentage of sales, improving margins and ultimately allowing for profitability.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Selling, General, and Administrative expenses decreased to $97,185 from $313,880. This decrease was largely due to decreases in certain consulting fees related to capital formation and marketing activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Total Operating Expenses decreased to $155,659 from $460,646. This is due largely to the decrease in Selling General, and Administrative expenses mentioned in the previous paragraph.
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 March 31, 2023, our Total Operating Expenses were $145,054. Of that net amount, $252,509 is related to running our business operations, and ($96,850) is related to financing, compliance, and other non-operational activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Total Other Expenses is recorded as a gain of 1,130,947 compared to a loss of $100,295 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. A large component of the Other Expenses category consists of expenses related to financing events. This gain is the result of restructuring and settling previous debt obligations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 we had net income of $985,893 and a net loss of $433,768, respectively. This decrease in net losses is due largely to the treatment of financing expenses/gains in the current quarter.
41
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023 and 2022.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 we had Gross Sales of $152,864 and $470,019 and Net Revenues of $103,944 and $321,000, respectively, and incurred an operating loss of $1,381,200 and $1,645,538, respectively.

The decrease in Gross Sales relative to the same period in 2022 was largely the result of our strategic pivot away from supermarket distribution to focus exclusively on the higher context and higher margin hotel vertical, where our products can more favorably compete against more established traditional brands.
Furthermore, the hotel sales project to be significantly more profitable at scale on a per unit basis, as sales will be conducted at full wholesale pricing, and line items such as slotting, advertising, and pricing promotions project to be greatly reduced or entirely eliminated.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, Cost of Product Sold decreased to $225,591 from $359,745 as commensurate with lower gross sales. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, Cost of Product Sold exceeded Net Revenues due to the fact that our freight costs remain significantly elevated on a per-unit basis in the short term due to the fact that most of the orders shipped to our wholesale customers during this period were partial pallets to accommodate our current ramp-up phase. As more points of distribution are added, average order sizes are expected to increase, which is expected to significantly drive down freight costs as a percentage of sales, improving margins and ultimately allowing for profitability.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, Selling, General, and Administrative expenses decreased to $1,259,553 from $1,606,793. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in spending on advertising and promotion.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, Total Operating Expenses decreased to $1,485,144 from $1,966,538. This is due largely to the decrease in Advertising and promotional expenses mentioned in the previous paragraph.
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 nine months ended March 31, 2023, our Total Operating Expenses were $1,485,144. Of that, $740,597 is related to running our business operations, and $744,547 is related to financing, compliance, and other non-operational activities.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, total Other Expenses increased to $3,394,279 from $402,824. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 we incurred net losses of $4,775,478 and $2,048,362 respectively. This increase in net losses is due largely to amortization and interest expense related to financing activities.
Customers
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one customer account for approximately 34% of the gross sales. One other customer accounted for approximately 31% of gross sales, and two other customers accounted for between 10 and 12% of gross sales. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had one customer account for approximately 30% of the gross sales. One other customer accounted for approximately 23% of gross sales, and two other customers accounted for between 10 and 15% of gross sales.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had one customer account for approximately 94% of the gross sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had one customer account for approximately % of the gross sales and another customer account for approximately 36% of gross sales.
42
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2023, we had cash on hand of $26,661, receivables of $53,631 and inventory value of $395,521.
Our cash on hand is not adequate to satisfy our working capital needs or to satisfy our existing and expected liabilities as they become due. While we believe that we will successfully secure required financing to continue our growth, we can give no assurances of success in this regard considering the delays experienced in the roll-out of our products in the hotel vertical.
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. As a result of the delays experienced in the roll-out of our products in the hotel vertical and a decreased trading price of our stock in the public markets, we have not been as successful as we had expected to be with respect to the Regulation A+ offering.
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, and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund operations long-term.
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 nine months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $4,775,478 compared to $2,048,362 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $995,623 compared to net cash used of $1,728,876 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.
We did not use any cash in investing activities, during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 or March 31, 2022.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, net cash aggregating $741,407 was provided by financing activities, compared to $1,209,034 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.
From our inception in January 2010 through March 31, 2023, we have generated an accumulated deficit of approximately $33,997,450. 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 a 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 1-2 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 six months ended December 31, 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 March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not engaged in any litigation or governmental regulatory proceeding at the present time, and management is unaware of any other claims or complaints that could result in future litigation or proceeding, in any case that would or would be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us or our business. Management will seek to minimize disputes with its customers but recognizes the inevitability of legal action in today’s business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we issued 250,859 shares of our common stock to directors and a consultants as consideration for services. The securities were issued in private transactions in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving any public offering.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we issued 1,750,000 shares of our common stock to existing holders of our Series B Preferred Stock upon conversion of such preferred stock in accordance with its terms. Upon the conversion, the Company also issued warrants to the converting preferred stockholders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares and the warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,645,586 shares of its common stock for cashless exercise of 3,300,000 stock purchase warrants. The securities were issued in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving any public offering.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of its common stock for cash exercise of 1,500,000 stock purchase warrants. The securities were issued in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving any public offering.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,550,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 13,619,566 common stock purchase warrants. The securities were issued in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving any public offering.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold 10,600 units at $0.50 per unit, each unit consisting of 4 shares of common stock and 4 share purchase warrants, for a total of 42,400 shares of common stock under its Regulation A+ Offering. The Company received net proceeds of $5,104. The securities were issued in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving any public offering.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
On December 10, 2021 the Company entered into certain agreements including Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and Securities Purchase Agreements with certain accredited and institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for the purchase and sale of an aggregate $1,086,956.52 in proceeds. The Notes, for as long as they are outstanding, are secured by all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, senior secured guarantees of the subsidiaries of the Company, and pledges of the common stock of all the subsidiaries of the Company. The Notes have provisions allowing for repayment at any time at 115% of the outstanding principal and interest within the first three months, and 120% of the outstanding principal and interest at any time thereafter. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 the Company made certain repayments, however, the Company was required to pay to the Purchasers on December 10, 2022, as extended to December 29, 2022 (as so extended, the “Maturity Date”) all remaining principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Maturity Date (the “Owed Amount”). The Owed Amount was not paid by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Notes during the six months ended December 31, 2022, and the failure to so pay the Owed Amount on the Maturity Date created an event of default. At March 31, 2023, the Owed Principal Amount, including default penalties, totaled $905,767. The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with the Purchasers whereby the Purchasers have agreed to forbear on all rights against the Company provided the Company adheres to the agreed-upon payment schedule to satisfy the notes in full.
