NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
Description of business
CannAssist International Corp. (the “Company” or “CannAssist”) was incorporated on May 17, 2017 under the laws of the state of Delaware under the name Iris Grove Acquisition Corporation to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.

The Acquisition was effected by the Company through the exchange of all the outstanding membership interests of Xceptor for shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $ per share. At the time of the Acquisition, there was one shareholder of the Company who was also a shareholder and manager of Xceptor. Xceptor has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company has taken over its operations and business plan. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had no ongoing business or operations. Since the Company and Xceptor were entities under common control prior to the Acquisition, the transaction is accounted for as a restructuring transaction. The Company has recast prior period financial statements to reflect the conveyance of Xceptor’s common shares as if the restructuring transaction had occurred as of the earliest date of the financial statements.
On July 1, 2021, Mark Palumbo, an officer and
director of CannAssist International Corp. (the “Company”), and Forty 7 Select Holdings LLC, an entity controlled by Greg

On October 9, 2021, the Closing of the Technology License Agreement occurred whereby the Company received the License to the Technology and the Licensor shall be issued 10,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, at a cost basis of $0.25 per share (which shall be issued at or around the time FINRA announces the change in the Company’s corporate name and stock trading symbol).
On July 23, 2021, the Company and Mark Palumbo entered into an agreement (the “Spin-Off Agreement”) whereby, at the Closing, the Company shall transfer 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units of Xceptor LLC, an entity that was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to Mark Palumbo for nominal consideration as a condition of the Change-in-Control (the “Spin-Off”). Furthermore, at the Closing, that certain Technology License Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Mark Palumbo dated April 29, 2019 (the “Palumbo License Agreement”) shall be terminated and the Company shall assign all rights to the underlying Intellectual Property (as defined in the Palumbo License Agreement) to Mark Palumbo.

On October 9, 2021, the Closing of the Spin-Off Agreement occurred whereby 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units of Xceptor LLC was transferred to Mark Palumbo in exchange for nominal consideration and the Palumbo License Agreement was terminated.

The platform will provide an omni-channel publishing tool, with talent identity protection and monetization tools provided in line with interaction and media creation services. Further publication and monetization products and services will be developed and acquired to support these efforts.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
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.
Accounts Receivable
Revenues that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized to reduce the amount of receivables to its net realizable value when needed. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is evaluated quarterly.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
The Company recognizes revenue when product is shipped. The Company will often receive payment and/or pay for the cost of goods prior to shipping. When this occurs, the result is both a prepaid for the supplies to be used in their product and a customer deposit.
| 9 |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is determined on the basis of the cost of production or the purchase of goods, adjusted for the variation of inventory Cost of sale is recognized as the direct cost of products or services sold during the period.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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.

NOTE 9 – WARRANTS
On February 24, 2021, the Company sold 2667 units to one investor at a price per unit of $0.75 per unit for aggregate proceeds of $2,000.25. Each unit is comprised of (i) 3 shares of the common stock of the Company and (ii) 1 warrant entitling the holder rights to purchase 1 share of the common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $0.50 for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance. The warrants were evaluated for purposes of classification between liability and equity. The warrants do not contain features that would require a liability classification and are therefore considered equity. The warrants were fair valued at $465. The Black Scholes pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the Warrants issued with the following inputs:

On October 9, 2021, the Closing of the Spin-Off Agreement occurred whereby 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units of Xceptor LLC was transferred to Mark Palumbo in exchange for nominal consideration and the Palumbo License Agreement was terminated.
Effective on October 9, 2021, as a result of the transactions described above, the business of the Company changed to focus on Electronic Sports Gaming technology and the development of related infrastructure, specifically the development and commercialization of a technology platform specifically designed for the Electronic Sports and Electronic Gaming markets. The platform will provide an omni-channel publishing tool, with talent identity protection and monetization tools provided in line with interaction and media creation services. Further publication and monetization products and services will be developed and acquired to support these efforts.
Prior to its change in business focus which occurred after the end of the period covered by this report, the Company produced and sold the cannabidiol ("CBD") product, “Cibidinol,” which was formulated based on a process developed by its former CEO Mark Palumbo. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp. The Company’s initial research and development work, aimed at enhancing the bioavailability of desired molecular structures, resulted in the creation of a line of CBD products, most notably its CBD product, Cibidinol. Cibidinol was available in a line of consumable and topical products that the Company believes will make enhanced CBD products more available and accessible to consumers. The financial results reported in this periodic report reflect the business and operations of the Company’s prior business since the change in business focus occurred after the end of the period covered by this report.
The Company's independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. At present, the Company has no operations and the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and/or to successfully locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with it.

Results of Operation for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had revenues of $479,004, cost of revenue of $303,417 and gross margin of $175,587. In comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had revenues of $679,050, cost of revenue of $416,923 and gross margin of $262,127. The decrease in revenue, cost of revenue and gross margin is initially from a change in the demand for our products derived from expanded commercialization of our products, followed by the large decrease in the third quarter due to the change in control.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $208,129 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $210,535 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Commissions
Commission expense was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $12,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the prior period commission expense was paid to EME, LLC, a related party for sales attributable to customers managed by EME, LLC.

Net Loss
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we realized a net loss of $172,812 as compared to net loss of $2,820,018 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in net loss in the current period is primarily due to the expense incurred in connection with the issuance of preferred stock in 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated revenues of $479,004 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and had a net loss of $172,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,506,214 as of September 30, 2021. The Company requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities. The obtainment of additional financing, through an initial capital raise, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition to the attainment of continued profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary financing or profitable operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
The Company used $202,131 of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $77,888.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $51,254 in cash.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 2 to the Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.
| 15 |
We are subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021.
The following aspects of the Company were noted as potential material weaknesses:
| · | timely and accurate reconciliation of accounts |
| · | lack of segregation of duties |
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, 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.
Changes in Internal Controls
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
