Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period

  • Nine-month gross margin improved to 66% from 63%, attributed to the higher-margin direct-to-consumer channel. Quarterly gross margin declined to 72% from 74%, primarily because of higher freight costs and supply-chain constraints.

  • The nine-month net loss narrowed to $87,152 from $122,626, aided in part by $35,000 of debt-forgiveness gains and $25,000 of California COVID-19 relief grants. The prior-year period included $16,313 of debt-forgiveness gains and $66,400 of stock-based compensation expense.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items

  • Management expects losses to continue during fiscal 2022 and states that the company may need to raise additional capital. Management believes available liquidity will fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date, but provides no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
  • The financial statement footnotes state that the accumulated deficit of $5,195,816, the nine-month net loss, and negative operating cash flow raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to seek additional funds through a private or public offering.
  • COVID-19 may disrupt supplies, manufacturing, shipping, labor availability, customer demand, and international operations. Management states that the specific financial impact is not readily determinable.
  • A Jacksonfill, LLC lawsuit alleges nonpayment for products and breach of agreement. The company disputes the allegations and intends to defend the matter; the claimed amount of $204,182 is recorded in accounts payable.
  • Customer and supplier concentration is significant. Two customers represented approximately 31% of nine-month sales, and four customers represented approximately 91% of accounts receivable at February 28, 2022. Four vendors represented approximately 97% of nine-month purchases.
  • The company held approximately $178,491 of cash above FDIC-insured limits at February 28, 2022.
  • Disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses involving insufficient qualified accounting personnel, lack of independent directors, and inadequate segregation of duties. Management cautions that financial statement errors or restatements could result.
  • On March 21, 2022, the board adopted a stock option plan covering 5,000,000 common shares.
