LFTD PARTNERS INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF ~~ACQUIRED SALES CORP.~~

~~Acquired Sales Corp.~~LFTD PARTNERS INC.

LFTD Partners Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as ~~"Acquired Sales"~~“LFTD Partners”, ~~"AQSP" or~~ the ~~"Company"~~“Company”, “LIFD”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, etc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 2, 1986.

~~Previously,~~ Shares of the Company’s common stock are traded on the OTCQB Venture Market under the trading symbol LIFD.

On May 18, 2021, the Company ~~was~~changed its name to LFTD Partners Inc. from Acquired Sales Corp. On March 15, 2022, the Company changed its stock trading symbol to LIFD.

After acquiring, operating and then selling businesses involved in ~~selling software licenses~~the defense sector, our business is currently directly or indirectly involved in the development, manufacture and/or sale or re-sale of a wide variety of branded, hemp-derived, psychoactive and ~~hardware,~~alternative lifestyle products, and of products involving, nicotine, tobacco and marijuana.

We are primarily interested in acquiring rapidly growing, profitable companies that are also involved in the manufacture and sale of branded, hemp-derived, psychoactive and alternative lifestyle products (a “Canna-Infused Products Company”). Management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of also acquiring operating businesses and/or assets directly or indirectly involving products containing nicotine, tobacco, marijuana, distilled spirits, beer, wine, and/or real estate. In addition, management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of diversifying, by acquiring all or a portion of one or more operating businesses and/or assets that are considered to be “essential” businesses which are unlikely to be shut down by the government during pandemics such as COVID-19, or that have less regulatory risk than a Canna-Infused Products Company.

Lifted Made

On February 24, 2020, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests in one Canna-Infused Products Company called Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made and d/b/a Urb Finest Flowers (formerly Warrender Enterprise Inc. d/b/a Lifted Liquids) (www.urb.shop), Kenosha, Wisconsin (“Lifted Made” or “Lifted”). Lifted manufactures and sells hemp-derived and psychoactive products under its award-winning Urb Finest Flowers (“Urb”) and Silly Shruum brands. Products currently sold by Lifted include, for example: disposable vapes, cartridges and gummies containing hemp-derived cannabinoids; joints and blunts containing various strains of hemp flower; gummies containing various ingredients such as muscimol, mushroom extracts, and kanna; and kava.

Cali Sweets Agreement

On January 11, 2023, Lifted entered into a Manufacturing Sales and Marketing Agreement (“Cali Agreement”) with Cali Sweets, LLC (“Cali”). Cali is headquartered in North Hollywood, California, and currently sells products under the brand name Koko Nuggz. The Cali Agreement entitles Lifted to be the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor of Cali’s disposable vape products (under the brand name Koko Puffz) and gummy products (under the brand name Koko Yummiez).

Pursuant to the Cali Agreement, Lifted will manufacture, market, and distribute certain Cali products and brands worldwide. Lifted and Cali will equally share certain production and marketing costs associated with such products on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Revenue from the sale of such Cali products will be divided on a 60/40 basis, net of any returns, discounts, or replacements, with 60% allocated to Lifted, and the ~~provision~~remaining 40% to Cali.

F-5

Table of Contents

Under the terms of ~~consulting~~the Cali Agreement, Lifted will have the right, in its discretion, to add new Cali brands and ~~maintenance services.Please refer~~products as they are developed. Lifted can also set prices for Cali products it supplies or unilaterally discontinue the supply of any Cali product if it no longer makes business sense to Lifted. The parties also agreed that Cali will provide social media marketing services for both Cali products and brands, and for Lifted’s Urb branded products.

The term of the Cali Agreement is five years and may be extended with the mutual consent of the parties. However, after the initial 24 months, the Cali Agreement may be terminated by either party, for any or no reason, upon providing the other party with 180 days written notice. Cali may become subject to early exit payments to Lifted if it early terminates. The exit fee formula is based on estimated profits that Lifted may have enjoyed had Cali not early terminated the relationship.

Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing Agreement With Diamond Supply Co.

On April 23, 2023, Lifted entered into a Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing Agreement (“Diamond Agreement”) with Diamond Supply Co. (“Diamond”), Calabasas, California, effective as of April 21, 2023. Founded in 1998, Diamond develops and sells a full range of skateboard hard and soft goods including bolts, bearings, t-shirts, hoodies, and other skateboarding and streetwear accessories. The Diamond Agreement entitles Lifted to be the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor of Diamond’s disposable vapes, gummies, pre-rolled joints, and hard candies. These products may contain CBD, hemp, delta-8-THC, delta-10-THC, cannabis and/or cannabinoid derivatives and are to be branded under one or more of Diamond’s brands or marks.

Lifted shall pay Diamond a royalty of twenty percent (20%) of Adjusted Gross Revenue (defined below) on the initial manufacturing run of each product manufactured and sold by Lifted Made under the Diamond Agreement. The Diamond Agreement defines Adjusted Gross Revenue as revenue on the product “less any sales taxes, actual returns, pre-approved discounts, replacements, refunds and credits for returns.”

After the initial manufacturing run of a product, Lifted shall pay Diamond a royalty of forty five percent (45%) of Adjusted Gross Revenue on subsequent manufacturing runs for that product; however, under the terms of the Diamond Agreement, the parties will split manufacturing costs 50/50 for products sold after each product’s first manufacturing run. Alternatively, under the terms of the Diamond Agreement, Diamond is entitled to notify Lifted that it elects to be paid a flat 7% of Adjusted Gross Revenue on specific subsequent manufacturing runs without sharing in the manufacturing costs for that run. Diamond is also entitled to purchase products produced under the Diamond Agreement from Lifted for direct sale on Diamond’s website and via certain other channels used by Diamond. Under the terms of the Diamond Agreement, Diamond’s cost for these products acquired for direct sale is 30% below wholesale.

Under the terms of the Diamond Agreement, the parties will together set prices for Diamond products. The term of the Agreement is three years and may be extended with the mutual consent of the parties. However, the Diamond Agreement may be extended for one-year with notice by Diamond at least three months prior to the ~~Company's past filings~~end of the 3-year term, or by mutual consent of the parties. If Lifted pays to Diamond aggregate annual royalty payments of at least $1,000,000 per year, then the Diamond Agreement shall automatically renew for ~~information related~~an additional one-year term.

Lifted Purchase of Assets of Oculus CRS, LLC, and Merger With Oculus CHS Management Corp.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On April 28, 2023, Lifted purchased nearly all of the assets (the “Purchased Assets”) of its hemp flower products supplier Oculus CRS, LLC, Aztec, New Mexico (“Oculus”) for $342,068, net of $26,420 cash acquired. The Purchased Assets include, but are not limited to, Oculus’ operational equipment, office equipment, raw materials, inventory, cash on hand, accounts receivable, and a contract (the “Machine Purchase Contract”) to purchase, for a total of $309,213 (the “Machine Purchase Price”), a new machine that is ready for delivery, and that when delivered and installed will be used to automate a substantial portion of the manufacturing of the hemp flower products. $99,910 of the Machine Purchase Price had already been paid by Oculus, leaving $209,303 as the remaining portion of the Machine Purchase Price (the “Machine Purchase Final Payment”).

The gross Purchase Price of $368,488 purchase was paid by Lifted using cash on hand. At the closing, Oculus applied the entire Purchase Price to pay off all of Oculus’ liabilities as of the closing date (the “Oculus Liabilities”), including the Machine Purchase Final Payment. The only asset of Oculus that was not included in the Purchased Assets was Oculus’ rights as the plaintiff in a pending lawsuit filed by Oculus against a particular customer for an alleged breach of contract.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

Simultaneously with Lifted’s purchase of the Purchased Assets, Lifted executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Oculus Merger Agreement”) with Oculus CHS Management Corp. (the “Management Corp.”), pursuant to which the Management Corp. was merged with and into Lifted, with Lifted being the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). The only assets of the Management Corp. were multi-year employment contracts with the owners/managers of Oculus, Chase and Hagan Sanchez (the “Employment Agreements”).

The Merger consideration (the “Merger consideration”) will be paid by Lifted to Chase and Hagan Sanchez in two installments.

The first installment of the Merger Consideration was paid by Lifted to Chase and Hagan Sanchez at the closing of the Merger, and consisted of 100 shares of unregistered common stock of LIFD.

The second installment of the Merger Consideration will be paid by Lifted to Chase and Hagan Sanchez following the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger which will be April 28, 2024. The second installment of the Oculus Merger Agreement will be calculated and paid out as follows:

(1) Lifted’s CEO Nicholas S. Warrender (“NWarrender”), in consultation with LIFD’s President and CFO William C. “Jake” Jacobs (“WJacobs”), will analyze and make a written determination (the “Determination”) of the incremental pre-tax cash flow that NWarrender estimates that the hemp flower products division is generating for Lifted above and beyond the annual profits that are currently being generated for Lifted due to Lifted’s current business relationship with Oculus (the “Incremental Pre-Tax Profits”), after taking into account all relevant financial factors including but not limited to the purchase price of the Purchased Assets, the merger consideration, and all items of income, expense and investment directly and indirectly associated with Lifted’s hemp flower products division, which Determination will be final and legally binding on all of the parties; and

(2) Within five days following delivery of the Determination, Lifted will pay Chase and Hagan Sanchez a second installment of Merger consideration equal to five times the Incremental Pre-Tax Profits, provided that (a) 20% of such second installment of Merger consideration shall be paid in the form of cash, (b) 80% of such second installment of Merger consideration shall be paid in the form of unregistered shares of common stock of LIFD, which unregistered shares of common stock of LIFD shall be valued at $5 per share regardless of whether LIFD’s common stock is then trading at a price that is lower or higher than $5 per share, and (c) such second installment of Merger consideration shall be subject to a minimum value of $1 million dollars and a maximum value of $6 million dollars (with the stock portion of the second installment of Merger consideration being valued at $5 per share under all circumstances.)

As examples, for illustrative purposes only:

	(a)	If, according to NWarrender’s Determination, the Incremental Pre-Tax Profits of Lifted being generated by the business is $500,000, then the second installment of the Merger Consideration would be calculated as $500,000 X 5 = $2,500,000, of which ($2,500,000 X .2) = $500,000 would be in the form of cash, and the remaining $2,000,000 would be paid in the form of ($2,000,000/$5) = 400,000 newly issued shares of unregistered LIFD Common Stock;

	(b)	If, according to NWarrender’s Determination, the Incremental Pre-Tax Profits of Lifted being generated by the business is $25,000, then the second installment of the Merger Consideration would be the minimum of $1,000,000, of which ($1,000,000 X .2) = $200,000 would be in the form of cash, and the remaining $800,000 would be paid in the form of ($800,000/$5) = 160,000 newly issued shares of unregistered LIFD Common Stock; and

	(c)	If, according to NWarrender’s Determination, the Incremental Pre-Tax Profits of Lifted being generated by the business is $2,000,000, then the second installment of the Merger Consideration would be the maximum of $6,000,000, of which ($6,000,000 X .2) = $1,200,000 would be in the form of cash, and the remaining $4,800,000 would be paid in the form of ($4,800,000/$5) = 960,000 newly issued shares of unregistered LIFD Common Stock.

Employment Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of the Oculus Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Merger, all of the Management Corp.’s rights and obligations under the Employment Agreements have been assumed by Lifted. Chase and Hagan Sanchez are now the Vice President of Flower and General Manager of Flower of Lifted, respectively, and will continue to manage the hemp flower products business in Aztec, NM, which will operate as a hemp flower products division within Lifted, reporting to NWarrender, Lifted’s CEO. Pursuant to Chase Sanchez’s employment agreement, his salary is $150,000 per year. Hagan Sanchez’s salary is $100,000 per year. Both agreements are subject to termination with or without cause, non-solicitation, non-competition and non-disclosure clauses.

In addition to Chase and Hagan Sanchez, a total of 20 other people who previously worked at Oculus have now transitioned to become full-time employees of Lifted. Lifted has agreed to pay employment bonuses to certain of these new people, in an aggregate amount totaling $50,000, pursuant to written instructions to Lifted from Chase and Hagan Sanchez.

Lease Agreement – Aztec New Mexico

Pursuant to the terms of the Oculus Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Merger, Lifted has assumed Oculus’ lease of office and operational space in Aztec, New Mexico. The leased premises includes a shop building of approximately 4,800 square feet and adjacent fenced parking area located at 16178 US Hwy 550, Aztec, San Juan County, New Mexico. The term of this lease shall be for a period of one (1) year, commencing on the 1st day of December 2022, and continuing in force until the 30th day of November, 2023, unless terminated earlier as provided in this lease. The lease payments are $3,850 per month. All monthly payments are due and payable in advance on the first day of each month. The lessee is also required to pay taxes, insurance and certain maintenance costs of the leased premises. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease.

Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits

On April 30, 2019, we also closed on the acquisition of 4.99% of the common stock of each of CBD-infused beverages maker Ablis Holding Company (“Ablis”) (www.ablisbev.com), and of distilled spirits manufacturers Bendistillery Inc. (“Bendistillery”) (www.bendistillery.com) and Bend Spirits, Inc. (“Bend Spirits”), all located in Bend, Oregon. Ablis manufactures and sells flavored, lightly carbonated, canned, CBD-infused beverages and shots, CBD-infused muscle rub, among other products. Bendistillery manufactures and sells straight and flavored vodka and gin and various types of whiskey under its brand Crater Lake Spirits (www.craterlakespirits.com).

Obligation to Purchase Headquarters Building

Toward the end of 2020, our Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer NWarrender, through his assigned entity 95th Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), purchased a building located at 5511 95th Avenue in Kenosha, Wisconsin (“5511 Building”) that was immediately leased to us to conduct our expanded operations. The 5511 Building includes office, laboratory and warehouse space. As part of the lease agreement with Holdings, the parties agreed that our wholly owned subsidiary Lifted would eventually purchase the 5511 Building. The purchase price for the 5511 Building was originally subject to valuation based on a formula agreed upon by the parties. Pursuant to an agreement with NWarrender on December 30, 2021, the parties agreed to set the purchase price for the 5511 Building at $1,375,000. Prior to the Acceleration Agreement, which was entered into by the Company with NWarrender on July 5, 2022, Lifted had an obligation to complete the purchase of the 5511 Building on or before December 31, 2022. Pursuant to the Acceleration Agreement, the deadline to purchase the 5511 Building has been extended by one year to December 31, 2023. In addition, the Acceleration Agreement contains a provision that if we raise $5,000,000 of debt or equity capital, then Lifted or our designee shall purchase the 5511 Building from Holdings at the agreed upon $1,375,000 purchase price within two days.

The Company desires to have all of its operations under one roof at the 5511 Building in order to become more efficient. The Company has hired and paid an architectural and construction company (the “Construction Company”) which has created a preliminary design for expanding the 5511 Building by approximately 30,000 square feet. The Construction Company has provided a preliminary estimate that the potential expansion could cost the Company approximately $3,500,000. Neither the management nor the Board of Directors of the Company has committed to such potential expansion, but it is under active consideration. The Company, in its discussions with potential lenders, has disclosed this potential use of borrowed funds to pay for a potential expansion of the 5511 Building.

Capital Raise

Cash on hand is currently limited, so in order to purchase for $1.375 million the 5511 Building, to build our available working capital, to close future acquisitions, and ~~sales~~potentially also in order to pay other corporate obligations such as certain bonuses, our company-wide bonus pool, and/or income taxes, it may be necessary for us to raise substantial additional capital, and no guarantee or assurance can be made that such capital can be raised on acceptable terms, if at all.

We are currently exploring the possibility of ~~Defense & Security Technology Group, Inc. ("DSTG")~~raising $3 million or more through some combination of debt and ~~Cogility Software Corporation ("Cogility"). The sale~~equity offerings in order to purchase for $1.375 million the 5511 Building, to build our available working capital, to pay transactional fees and expenses, and potentially also to pay off other liabilities of ~~Cogility~~the Company and ~~DSTG eliminated the Company's sources~~Lifted such as certain bonuses, our company-wide bonus pool, and/or income taxes.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

~~Basis of Presentation~~

Consolidated Financial Statements – The ~~accompanying~~consolidated financial statements ~~include~~of the ~~accounts and operations of Acquired Sales for all periods presented.~~

~~Condensed Financial Statements~~ ~~– The accompanying financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements~~Company should be read in conjunction with the ~~annual~~Company’s consolidated financial statements ~~included~~and related notes that appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~28, 2016. In particular, the basis of presentation and significant accounting principles were presented in Note 1 to the annual financial statements.~~21, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited ~~condensed~~consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein. ~~The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative~~As part of the ~~results that may be expected for~~consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions are eliminated, and on the ~~full year ending December 31, 2016.~~

Consolidated Statements of Operations, certain expenses are consolidated into the Other Operating Expenses category.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ~~("GAAP"~~(“GAAP”) typically requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from ~~management's~~management’s estimates and assumptions.

Key estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales allowance, estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets, the earnout liability pursuant to the Oculus Merger Agreement, and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included cash on-hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date within 90 days to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost. The Company maintains its cash balance at a credit-worthy financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The historical carrying amount of the financial instruments, which principally include cash, trade receivables, historical accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relative short maturity of such instruments.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair-value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

F-9

Table of Contents

Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc. and Bend Spirits, Inc. are not publicly traded, and as such their financial instruments are Level 3 unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. During the periods reported, there were no changes in the unobservable inputs associated with these investments, and there no other investments of the Company that had Level 3 unobservable inputs.

Prepaid Expenses – Prepaid expenses relate primarily to advance payments made for purchases of inventory; prepaid inventory is transferred to inventory when the purchased items are received by the Company. Other expenses, such as prepaid commercial property and general liability insurance, and prepaid health and dental insurance, among others, are also recognized as prepaid expenses when advance payments are made for services that will be performed in periods subsequent to the balance sheet date. Prepaids for these other expenses are recognized as expenses ratably over the applicable service period.

Accounts Receivable – The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded (the “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts”), which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, the Company implemented a new policy regarding allowances for doubtful accounts, which is that all accounts receivable older than 90 days at quarter end are accrued for in allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts of $261,200 and $281,762 were reported at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Sales allowances, which reduce gross sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, are recorded for estimated future discounts/refunds and product returns and are netted against accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accounts receivable were reduced by $364,194 and $935,881, respectively, as a result of the sales allowance.

Inventory – Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market value (net realizable value). Inventory consisted of the following at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Raw Goods	$	5,790,295	$	3,407,196
Finished Goods	$	4,678,984	$	2,616,771
Total Inventory	$	10,469,279	$	6,023,967

Monthly overhead costs such as payments for rent, utilities, insurance, and indirect labor are allocated to finished goods based on the estimated percentage cost toward the finished goods. Depreciation expense related to certain machinery and equipment is also allocated to finished goods.

At June 30, 2023, $257,449 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. In comparison, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, $97,574 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, $42,289 and $238,048 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2022, Lifted wrote-off $2,313,902 of obsolete and spoiled inventory of 2 mL disposable vape devices due to clogging issues that management believes was caused by a summer heat wave. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Lifted negotiated a settlement agreement with its third-party disposable vape device manufacturer, which included both the forgiveness of $630,000 of payables owed to the manufacturer and credits totaling $370,047 to be provided by the manufacturer at a quarterly rate of $46,255 in 2023 and 2024. The forgiveness of the payables was recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold, and the settlement credits were recorded as a settlement asset and other income, both in the fourth quarter of 2022. The settlement asset is being amortized ratably to cost of goods sold over the benefit period of 2023 and 2024.

F-10

Table of Contents

The process of determining obsolete inventory during the quarter involved:

	1)	Identifying raw goods that would no longer be used in the manufacture of finished goods;
	2)	Identifying finished goods that would no longer be sold or that are slow moving; and
	3)	Valuing and expensing raw and finished goods that would no longer be sold.

Fixed Assets – Fixed assets are recorded and stated at cost. Fixed assets that cost less than $2,500 are expensed, and fixed assets that cost $2,500 or more are capitalized. Depreciation of machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, and computer equipment, is based on the asset’s estimated useful life and is calculated using the straight-line method. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. The related costs and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is included in net income.

Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management then prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks.

Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Security Deposits–The Company has not paid a security deposit for its leased facility located at 5511 95^th Avenue, Kenosha, WI 53144 for the Company’s current office, manufacturing and warehouse space.

The Company has paid security deposits for its leased facilities located at 8920 58^th Place, Suite 850, Kenosha, WI 53144, 8910 58^th Place, Suites 600 and 700, Kenosha, WI 53144, 9560 58^th Place, Suite 360, Kenosha, WI 53144, 2701-09 West Fulton PH, Chicago, Illinois 60612, 5732 95th Avenue, Suites 100-300, Kenosha, WI 53144.

As part of Lifted’s acquisition of the assets of Oculus, Lifted has assumed Oculus’ lease of office and operational space in Aztec, New Mexico, and the security deposit that had been previously paid by Oculus to the landlord of the leased space in Aztec, New Mexico.

State Licensing Deposits – The Company is required to pay deposits for certain licenses in various states.

Revenue – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606.

The majority of the Company’s sales are of branded products goods to distributors, wholesalers, and end consumers. A minority of the Company’s sales are of raw goods to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers. The majority of the Company’s sales are to distributors, followed by the Company’s sales to wholesalers, and then the Company’s sales to end consumers. Distributors primarily sell Lifted’s products to vape and smoke shops, stores specializing in cannabinoid-infused products, convenience stores, health food stores, and other outlets.

Typically, the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. If the shipping terms on a sale are FOB destination, the revenue is deferred until the product reaches its destination.

The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers.

Discounts and rebates are to customers are recorded as a reduction to gross sales.

Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience.

Described below are some of the reasons why a customer may want to return an ordered item, and how the Company responds in each situation:

	1)	The ordered item breaks, melts, or separates in transit to the customer. In this case, the Company will replace the broken, melted or separated item at no cost to the customer.
	2)	The Company sent the wrong item to the customer. In this case, the Company will allow the customer to keep, at no cost to the customer, the item that was mistakenly sent to the customer. The Company will also send the correct product to the customer, at no cost to the customer.
	3)	The customer ordered the wrong product. In this case, the customer, at his/her own expense, must mail the mistakenly ordered product back to the Company, and the Company will mail the correct product to the customer.
	4)	The ordered item is recalled. In a situation where product is recalled, the Company will offer a replacement, credit, or refund.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company has considered providing disaggregation of revenue by information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments, such as type of good, geographical region, market or type of customer, type of contract, contract duration, timing of transfer of goods, and sales channels. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our industry, the Company is constantly launching new products to stay ahead of trends, finding new sales channels, initiating new distribution networks and modifying the prices of its products.

Deferred Revenue

Amounts received from a customer before the purchased product is shipped to the customer are treated as deferred revenue. If cash is not received, an accounts receivable is recognized for the invoiced order, but revenue is not recognized until the order is fully shipped. Accounts receivable include amounts associated with partially shipped orders, for which the unshipped portion is a contract asset. Contract assets represent invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations.

The table shown below represents the composition of deferred revenue between contract assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations) and deposits from customers from unfulfilled orders as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, direct labor, co-packing fees, repacking fees, freight and shipping charges, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of Lifted’s finished products and certain quality control costs. Finished goods that are sold account for the largest portion of cost of sales. Raw materials include ingredients, product components and packaging materials.

Cost of goods sold amounted to $6,886,185 and $8,713,590 during the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. $42,289 and $238,048 of cost of goods sold relates to spoiled and obsolete inventory written off during the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Operating Expenses– Operating expenses include accounts such as payroll expenses, deferred stock compensation expense, the company-wide management bonus pool, management bonuses, professional fees, bank charges and merchant fees, advertising and marketing, bad debt expense, depreciation and amortization, and other operating expenses. Total operating expenses decreased to $3,263,683 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, down from $3,634,615 during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30 2023, total operating expenses included a one-time, non-cash stock compensation expense of $2,138,175, whereas no stock compensation was recorded in the in the six months ended June 30, 2022. At the closing of the acquisition of Lifted in February 2020, 645,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company were designated as contingent deferred compensation (the “Deferred Contingent Stock”) to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a schedule delivered by him to the Company (the “Deferred Contingent Stock Recipients”), as an employee retention incentive. Now that certain conditions and requirements have been met, the Deferred Contingent Stock vested on February 24, 2023, and on this date, in accordance with US GAAP, the Company expensed the value of the vested Deferred Contingent Stock. This one-time, non-cash charge swung our Company from net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $3,102,567 to net income of $1,517,719. But for this charge, our Company would have reported a basic and fully diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $0.22 and $0.19, respectively.

Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2023 and ~~2015.~~

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized net losses of $52,861 and $142,236, respectively. The Company used net cash of $56,453 in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As discussed in Note 4, on September 1, 2015, the Company determined that the note and related interest receivable due from the William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation") would not be collectible. As such, the Company wrote off the note totaling $737,850 and interest receivable totaling $97,427 as bad debt expense on September 1, 2015.

Bankruptcy of the Company at some point in the future is a possibility. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

~~The Company currently has no revenue-generating subsidiaries.~~ Management plans to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) acquiring and/or developing profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (2) completing private placements of the ~~Company's~~Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock. Management believes that by taking these actions, the Company will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue asa going concern. However, there can be no assurances or guarantees whatsoever that the Company will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, any such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

The Company’s investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits made the Company a minority owner of these companies. As a minority owner, the Company is not able to recognize any portion of Ablis’, Bendistillery’s or Bend Spirits’ revenues or earnings in the Company’s financial statements. The Company monitors its investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits, and from time to time and will evaluate whether there has been a potential impairment of value.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications, combined with the expenses and potential liabilities associated with litigation involving Lifted, combined with the regulatory risks and uncertainties associated with the cannabinoid-infused products, vaping and nicotine products industries, combined with the risks associated with internet hacking or sabotage, combined with the risks of employee and/or independent contractor disloyalty or theft of Company information and opportunities, have created significant adverse risks to the Company, which have caused substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Prior to the Acceleration Agreement, which was entered into by the Company with NWarrender on July 5, 2022, Lifted had an obligation to complete the purchase of the 5511 Building on or before December 31, 2022. Pursuant to the Acceleration Agreement, the deadline to purchase the 5511 Building has been extended by one year to December 31, 2023. In addition, the Acceleration Agreement contains a provision that if we raise $5,000,000 of debt or equity capital, then Lifted or our designee shall purchase the Property from 95th Holdings, LLC at the agreed upon $1,375,000 purchase price within two days.

The Company is also accruing and paying 3% annual dividends on its Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Also, on February 14, 2022, NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs (together the “Parties”) and LFTD Partners, entered into an agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) that amends in part the Agreement dated as of December 30, 2021 entered into by and among LFTD Partners Inc., the Parties, Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made and 95th Holdings, LLC (the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Amended Omnibus Agreement (1) terminates the right for the Parties to receive bonus compensation in regard to 2021 that is in excess of the Modified 2021 Bonus Pool Amount of $1,556,055 set out in the Omnibus Agreement; (2) places a cap on the 2022 company-wide bonus pool such that the 2022 company-wide bonus pool shall not be allowed to be accrued or paid by LIFD if and to the extent that doing so would decrease LIFD’s 2022 diluted earnings per share of common stock below $0.56 per share; and (3) the $500,000 of additional bonus set out in the Omnibus Agreement, is now allocated and defined as a retention bonus of $166,667 to each of NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs to be paid at the end of 2022 so long as each respective executive has not earlier resigned from LFTD Partners (the “2022 Retention Bonuses”). The 2022 Retention Bonuses were paid in the first quarter of 2023.

Moreover, LFTD Partners agrees and covenants that the Chairman of the Compensation Committee is authorized to negotiate and agree on behalf of LFTD Partners in regard to a 2023 supplemental retention bonus for NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs (in addition to the company-wide Bonus Pool) (the “2023 Retention Bonuses”), and if and only if the amounts of the 2023 Retention Bonuses are mutually agreed upon in writing among the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs, then one-third of the 2023 Retention Bonuses shall be paid by LFTD Partners to each of NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs on or before March 15, 2024, provided that such officer shall not have earlier resigned as an officer of LFTD Partners.

During 2022, Lifted for the first time hired an outside laboratory to conduct research and development on a potential new, non-hemp-derived, synthetic psychedelic product (the “New Psychedelic Product”) for a total of $19,800. Such research and development of the New Psychedelic Product has been put on indefinite hold. Lifted has recently successfully purchased from third parties a natural equivalent of the New Psychedelic Product. No guarantee or assurance can be given that in the future Lifted will be able to purchase more of this natural equivalent of the New Psychedelic Product, or a synthesized version thereof.

In addition, factors that could materially affect future operating results include, but are not limited to, changes to laws and regulations, especially any future changes to the so-called “Farm Bill” at the federal level, any new rule proposed by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration that might attempt to classify certain hemp-derived products as controlled substances, and any other federal or state laws and regulations related to hemp-derived cannabinoids, nicotine or tobacco products, kratom, psychoactive products and/or vaping. The company is also subject to vendor concentration risk, customer concentration risk, customer credit risk, and counterparty risk.

The Company maintains levels of cash bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and it believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

No assurance or guarantee whatsoever can be given that the net income of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Lifted will be sufficient to allow the Company to pay all of its operating expenses, the dividends accruing and being paid on the Company’s preferred stock, the company-wide bonus pool, and the 2023 Retention Bonuses. As a result, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Bankruptcy of the Company at some point in the future is a possibility. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company currently has one revenue-generating subsidiary, Lifted. If and to the extent that the revenue generated by Lifted is not adequate to pay the Company’s operating expenses and the dividends accruing on its preferred stock, then Company management plans to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) acquiring and/or developing additional profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (2) completing private placements of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock. Management believes that by taking these actions, the Company will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurances or guarantees whatsoever that the Company will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, any such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risks – During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, 16 customers made up approximately 50% of Lifted Made’s sales. In comparison, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, twelve customers made up approximately 50% of Lifted Made’s sales.

Vendor Dependence –Regarding the purchases of raw goods and finished goods (“Inventory”), during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, approximately 68% of the Inventory that Lifted purchased were from five vendors. In comparison, regarding the purchases of Inventory during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, approximately 73% of the purchased Inventory were from five vendors.

The loss of Lifted’s relationships with these customers and vendors could have a material adverse effect on Lifted’s business.

NOTE 4 – THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENTS

The Company’s Investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits

On April 30, 2019, the Company purchased 4.99% of the common stock of each of Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc., and Bend Spirits, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $1,896,200.

Under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the cost method to account for our minority equity ownership interests in businesses in which the Company owns less than 20% of equity ownership and have no substantial influence over the management of the businesses. Under the cost method of accounting, the Company reports the historical costs of the investments as assets on its balance sheet. However, US GAAP does not permit the consolidation of its financial statements with the financial statements of companies in which the Company owns minority equity ownership interests.

As such, the Company’s investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits made the Company a minority owner of these companies. As a minority owner, the Company will not be able to recognize any portion of Ablis’, Bendistillery’s or Bend Spirits’ revenues or earnings in the Company’s financial statements. US GAAP also requires the Company to record these types of investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As such, the Company will not be allowed to consolidate into its financial statements any portion of the revenues, earnings or assets of companies in which it owns minority equity ownership interests such as Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. Moreover, even if there is evidence that the fair market values of the investments have increased above their historical costs, US GAAP does not allow increasing the recorded values of the investments. Under US GAAP, the only adjustments that may be made to the historical costs of the investments are write downs of the values of the investments, which must be made if there is evidence that the fair market values of the investments have declined to below the recorded historical costs.

At each reporting period, the Company makes a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether its investments are impaired. Factors that the Company would consider indicators of impairment include: (1) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, (2) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, (3) a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates, (4) a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of that investment, and (5) factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. Up to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, none of the above factors have been applicable to the Company’s investments.

The qualitative assessments at the end of quarters one, two and three are done via conference calls with the management teams of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. The qualitative assessment at the end of the fourth quarter relating to these entities also includes review of their respective financial statements that have been reviewed by a third-party accounting firm. At that time, the Company performs an annual impairment assessment. The reviewed financial statements of these companies are not audited, and the Company is not active in the management of these companies, and except for these companies’ quarterly meetings with the management of the Company, the Company’s assessment of these companies is inherently limited to infrequent and relatively brief conversations with officers of these companies and to reviews of those reviewed financial statements.

On July 13, 2023, the management of LFTD Partners had a video conference with the officers of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. During this meeting, the management of those companies reviewed the performance of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023. Based upon the financial and non-financial information that was shared with LFTD Partners during that conference call, the management of LFTD Partners believes that no impairment of the value of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits or Ablis is warranted at this point in time. The information that was shared by the management of Ablis included, among other things: the planned launching of new Ablis products; positive net income in the first half of 2023, up from a loss in the first half of 2022; and a focus on cost savings. The information that was shared by the management of Bendistillery and Bend Spirits included, among other things: positive net income in the first half of 2023, up from a loss in the first half of 2022; and the planned launch of a new Crater Lake Spirits product.

The Company’s Investment in Lifted Made

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers.

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.

The Company performed its annual fair value assessment at December 31, 2022 on the goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition of Lifted, and determined that no impairment was necessary. The factors that led the Company to this conclusion include, among other things: continued growth in sales and profitability year-over-year, the launch of first-to-market, ground-breaking new products, the addition of more wholesalers and distributors nationwide, increased sales to wholesalers and end consumers, the continued growth of Lifted’s flagship brand Urb Finest Flowers, and continued positive publicity of Lifted.

The Company’s Investment in SmplyLifted LLC

On September 22, 2020, LFTD Partners Inc. and Lifted Made and privately-held SMPLSTC, Costa Mesa, CA formed an equally-owned new entity called SmplyLifted LLC, which sold tobacco-free nicotine pouches in several flavors and nicotine strengths under the brand name FR3SH (www.GETFR3SH.com).

Table of Contents

Lifted had a 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC. The other 50% of SmplyLifted is owned by SMPLSTC LLC and its principals, who are located in Costa Mesa, California. Under US GAAP, the Company used the equity method to account for its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded its share (50%) of SmplyLifted’s earnings (or losses) as income (or losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded its initial investment in SmplyLifted, which was $200,000, as an asset at historical cost. Under the equity method, the investment’s value was periodically adjusted to reflect the changes in value due to Lifted’s share in SmplyLifted’s income or losses.

During the 2020 Stub Year, the Company recognized a loss of $4,429 from its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted, and wrote down the value of its investment in SmplyLifted to $195,571. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $195,571 from its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. At December 31, 2021, Lifted Made wrote off its receivables from SmplyLifted, and its loans to SmplyLifted, which totaled $388,727.

On February 9, 2022, Lifted Made signed an Agreement to sell its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC to Corner Vapory LLC, an affiliate of NWarrender, CEO of Lifted, for $1, plus ninety-nine percent (99%) of any and all payments and other consideration received or owed to Corner Vapory LLC in regard to SmplyLifted’s existing inventory of FR3SH brand tobacco-free nicotine pouches. Lifted had the option to re-purchase the 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC from Corner Vapory LLC for $1,000 in cash at any time on or before December 31, 2032. However, Lifted never exercised this option, and SmplyLifted was dissolved on November 28, 2022, due to insolvency.

NOTE 6 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc.

The Foundation, a non-profit Massachusetts corporation, has received a provisional registration from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to own and operate a medical marijuana cultivation facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and a medical marijuana dispensary in Dennis, Massachusetts. Jane W. Heatley ~~("Heatley"~~(“Heatley”) is the founder and a member of the board of directors of the Foundation.

Teaming Agreement – The Company believes it is highly likely that the board of directors of the Foundation will only approve contracts that have been negotiated and approved by Heatley. Consequently, on July 8, 2014, the Company entered into a Teaming Agreement (the ~~"Teaming Agreement"~~“Teaming Agreement”) with Heatley, in which, among other things: (1) the Company and Heatley agreed to use their respective best efforts, working exclusively together as a team, and not as a partnership or other entity, in order to consummate transactions, agreements, contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which the Company will provide capital and expertise to the Foundation; and (2) Heatley agreed that Heatley shall not, and shall not permit the Foundation to, discuss or negotiate for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from any third party. The Company claims that Heatley violated the Teaming Agreement by discussing and negotiating for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from at least one third party. Heatley claims that the Company violated the Teaming Agreement alleging that the Company failed to lend funds to the Foundation in accordance with the Teaming Agreement. The Company believes ~~Heatley's~~Heatley’s claim to be baseless. No assurances whatsoever can be made that Heatley will comply with the terms of the Teaming Agreement, nor that the Company will be able to adequately enforce the terms of the Teaming Agreement if it is ever the subject of litigation.

~~Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

Promissory Note – On July 14, 2014, the Foundation signed and delivered to the Company a Secured Promissory Note (the ~~"Note"~~“Note”) which is in the stated loan amount of $1,500,000, and is secured by a Security Agreement of even date therewith (the ~~"Security Agreement"~~“Security Agreement”). The Note provides that the $1,500,000 loan may be advanced in one or more installments as the Foundation and the Company may mutually agree upon. The Foundation and the Company mutually agreed that the first installment of this loan would be $602,500. Pursuant to instructions from the Foundation, on July 14, 2014, the Company paid $2,500 owed by the Foundation to one of its consultants, and the Company advanced $600,000 directly to the Foundation. The amount and timing of subsequent loan installments under the Note, which could have totaled $897,500, had not yet been mutually agreed upon between the Foundation and the Company as of the date of the Note.

Between April and July 2015, the Company loaned an additional $135,350 to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement. Following such additional loans, the principal of the loan from the Company to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement, is now $737,850.

The principal balance outstanding under the Note bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly. It was contemplated that the first payment of accrued interest by the Foundation under the Note would be made as soon after the Foundation commences operations of the Plymouth Cultivation Facility and the Dennis Dispensary as the ~~Foundation's~~Foundation’s cash flows shall reasonably permit, but in any event no later than one year after the Foundation commences operations. The principal of the Note would be payable in eight consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Foundation commences operations. Principal on the Note and related accrued interest would be considered past due if the aforementioned payments were not received by their due dates.

Uncollectable Note and Interest Receivable– The Company assessed the collectability of the Note based on the adequacy of the ~~Foundation's~~Foundation’s collateral and the ~~Foundation's~~Foundation’s capability of repaying the Note according to its terms. Based on this assessment, on September 1, 2015, the Company concluded that Note and interest receivable would not be collectible. As such, the Company wrote off the Note totaling $737,850 and interest receivable totaling $97,427 as bad debt expense on September 1, 2015.

Nicholas S. Warrender

On February 24, 2020 we closed on the acquisition of 100% of the ownership of CBD-infused products maker Warrender Enterprise Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made (formerly d/b/a Lifted Liquids) of Zion, Illinois (the “Merger”), for consideration of (1) $3,750,000 in cash, (2) $3,750,000 in the form of a secured promissory note accruing interest of 2% per year (the “$3.75M Note”), (3) 3,900,455 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”), (4) 645,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company that constitute deferred contingent compensation to be issued and delivered to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a schedule delivered by NWarrender to the Company at the closing of the Merger (the “Deferred Contingent Stock”), and (5) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,820,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $5.00 per share that will be issued and delivered to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a schedule delivered by NWarrender to the Company at the closing of the Merger (the “Warrants”).

On December 30, 2021, LIFD repaid all principal and interest due under the $3.75M Note between NWarrender and LIFD dated February 24, 2020 that was a portion of the Merger Consideration paid by LIFD to NWarrender under the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of that promissory note, the unpaid balance of the note accrued interest at the rate of 2% per annum.

On December 30, 2021, NWarrender kept $1,000,000 of the repayment, plus accrued interest, and on January 3, 2022, reloaned $2,750,000 back to LIFD at the rate of 2.5% (the “$2.75M Note”).

Prior to July 25, 2022, the $2.75 M Note payable jointly by the Company and Lifted to NWarrender was secured by a perfected first lien security interest (the “Security Interest”) that encumbered all of the assets of the Company and Lifted. The Company was obligated to pay off the principal of the $2.75 M Note in five semi-annual payments to NWarrender of $458,333 and a sixth and final semi-annual payment to NWarrender of $458,335, in each case plus accrued interest, starting on June 30, 2022.

Share-Based Compensation

At the closing of acquisition of Lifted, 645,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company were designated as contingent deferred compensation (the “Deferred Contingent Stock”) to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a schedule delivered by him to the Company at the closing of the Merger (the “Deferred Contingent Stock Recipients”). Now that certain conditions and requirements have been met, starting on February 24, 2023, the Deferred Contingent stock has begun to be issued to certain Deferred Contingent Stock Recipients who have instructed the Company to issue to them their respective, earned Deferred Contingent Stock.

Due to the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock, LFTD Partners hired a third-party valuation firm (the “Valuation Firm”) to calculate discount rates to apply to the value of the Deferred Contingent Stock for both financial reporting and tax purposes. The Valuation Firm used the Finnerty Protective Put Model to determine the discount rates to apply to the Deferred Contingent Stock in order to value it, for both financial reporting and tax reporting purposes. The Finnerty model is variant of the protective put method that estimates the discount based on the average price over the restriction period rather than based on the final price.

The Valuation Firm’s report indicated that, for financial reporting purposes, a 22% discount for lack of marketability should be used when valuing all 645,000 shares of Deferred Contingent Stock, as of February 24, 2023. Assumptions used in the model for financial reporting purposes include: that no dividends on common stock will be paid, that the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the trading of LIFD’s common stock, and that there is a 0.5 year term based on the six-month holding period due to Rule 144. As of February 24, 2023, total stock compensation expense of $2,138,175 related to the 645,000 shares of Deferred Contingent Stock was recognized.

F-26

Table of Contents

The Valuation Firm’s report also indicated that, for tax reporting purposes, discounts ranging from 23% to 31% for lack of marketability and blockage should be used when valuing the Deferred Contingent Stock that was issued during the first quarter of 2023. In the Finnerty Protective Put model for each unique block of issued stock, the Valuation Firm has assumed a minimum term of six months, equal to the minimum time to sell the subject shares due to their restricted nature; and a maximum term equal to the amount of time it would take for the market to absorb the additional shares based upon an assumed additional volume of 7.5%. The Valuation Firm also assumed that no dividends on common stock will be paid, and that the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the trading of LIFD’s common stock. As of June 30, 2023, 410,000 shares of Deferred Contingent Stock have been issued to certain Deferred Contingent Stock Recipients, including 200,000 shares of Deferred Contingent Stock to WJacobs.

In comparison, no share-based compensation expense was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cancellation of Warrants Issued in Connection with the Acquisition of Lifted Made

On February 24, 2023, Warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company were cancelled because the Warrant recipient was no longer continuously employed by ~~One-Seven,~~Lifted or was no longer a contractor, consultant, paid advisor, or informal paid advisor of Lifted.

Exercise of Warrant by a Non-Affiliated Entity

On February 19, 2022, an entity non-affiliated with the Company exercised an option to purchase 50,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, which the entity paid.

Stock Buy-back Transactions with a Non-Affiliate Stockholder Stock and Retirement of 100,000 Shares of Common Stock

On March 1, 2022, LFTD Partners signed an agreement to purchase a total of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company from a non-affiliate stockholder in a private transaction for $1.50 per share for a total purchase price of $150,000.

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

Operating and Finance Lease Right-of-Use Assets – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amended guidance, which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases with terms in excess of 12 months and currently classified as operating leases. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; lease expense for these types of leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Options to extend or terminate a lease are not included in the determination of the right-of-use asset or lease liability unless it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lifted adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach, electing the package of practical expedients.

Lifted does not own any physical properties.

As a result, as of December 31, 2021, the Company modified its methodology for accounting of this finance lease (the “Modification Date”), such that the only liability recognized as of December 31, 2021 was a current (within one year) liability, and there was no long-term liability recognized. An immaterial loss on lease modification of $1,446 was also recognized as of the Modification Date. The Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset value was reduced to reflect the fixed purchase price agreed to under the Omnibus Agreement.

Pursuant to the Acceleration Agreement, Lifted’s obligation to purchase the Premises from Landlord was delayed to on or before December 31, 2023.

Prior to the signing of the Acceleration Agreement, the Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset was to be amortized over its useful life (39 years) on a prospective basis from the Modification Date. That is, the Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset was previously amortized over the lease term, but given mandatory purchase by December 31, 2022, the Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset will be amortized over 39 years starting on the Modification Date. As a result of the signing of the Acceleration Agreement, the accounting for the Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset will be adjusted accordingly.

Sublease of Space Located at 2701-09 West Fulton PH, Chicago, Illinois 60612

On July 6, 2022, Lifted entered into a sublease for office space in Chicago, Illinois located at 2701-09 West Fulton PH, Chicago, Illinois 60612. The sublease costs $3,000 per month, plus supplemental lease related charges such ~~$50,000 loan~~as real estate taxes and common expenses of the property that we anticipate will be commercially typical costs. The sublease was retroactively effective as of June 1, 2022 and for a five-month term that ended on October 31, 2022. The purpose of the sublease is to ~~One-Seven, One-Seven~~make available office space for the members of Lifted’s sales team who live in Chicago. These salespeople were spending significant time in their cars commuting from Chicago to Kenosha.

The sublessor is one of our affiliates, Bill McLaughlin, Lifted’s Chief Strategy Officer. The sublease is structured so that Mr. McLaughlin's lease payment obligations to the landlord are passed on to Lifted on a dollar-for-dollar basis, such that Mr. McLaughlin does not realize a cashflow profit or loss from the sublease.

The sublease is currently operating on a month-to-month basis. Since the term is less than twelve months, this lease is not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and ~~Stukel agreed that if One-Seven~~lease expense is ~~successful~~recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease of Space Located at 5732 95th Avenue, Suites 100-300, Kenosha, Wisconsin 53144

On November 28, 2022, Lifted entered into a lease agreement with Ladi Investments LLC (“Ladi”) for commercial space located at 5732 95th Avenue, Suite 200 and 300, Kenosha, WI 53144 (the “5732 Lease”). The 5732 Lease is expected to be used to expand Lifted’s gummy manufacturing operations.

The 5732 Lease will commence on February 1, 2023. The initial term of the 5732 Lease will extend approximately five years (sixty-one months) from February 1, 2023 and end February 29, 2028, unless extended or earlier terminated in ~~securing~~accordance with the 5732 Lease. While extensions are not prohibited, Lifted does not have the right to unilaterally elect to extend the term of the 5732 Lease for an additional ~~funding, then Stukel~~term.

Under the terms of the 5732 Lease, Lifted will lease approximately 4,657 square feet. Lifted will not pay any base square foot charge during February 2023. During the next twelve months, Lifted will pay a base square foot charge of $0.73 per square foot per annum, with a 4% increase in rent each twelve months thereafter during the term as set out in the table titled “Rent Schedule” below. Lifted is also responsible for paying its proportionate share of real estate taxes and ~~One-Seven are obligated~~other operating costs.

Company-Wide Management Bonus Pool

Please refer to NOTE 12 – COMPANY-WIDE MANAGEMENT BONUS POOL for more information about the company-wide management bonus pool.

Payment of Brokers’ Fees Related to the Sale of Preferred Stock

The Company has ~~not paid any~~committed to pay brokers’ fees ~~under this Agreement. All of the conditions have not been met for the finder's fee to have accrued on the amounts loaned~~in regard to the ~~Foundation; therefore, a liability has not been recorded for the finder's fee at September 30, 2016.~~

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, MVJ Realty, LLC, an affiliate of AQSP director Vincent J. Mesolella ("MVJ Realty"), loaned a total of $23,000 to the Foundation, which $23,000 was purportedly used as follows: (a) $9,500 was used by the Foundation to pay the rent of the Plymouth Cultivation Facility for the month of May, 2015; (b) $6,900 was used by the Foundation to pay the rent of the Dennis Dispensary for the months of April and May, 2015; (c) $3,600 was used by the Foundation to pay for the general liability insurance policy covering the Plymouth Cultivation Facility and the Dennis Dispensary; and (d) $3,000 was used by the Foundation to pay the application fees for two applications (the "Two New Applications") by the Foundation to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for licenses (the "Two New Licenses") to operate two new medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts (the "Two New Dispensaries"). In making these $23,000 loans to the Foundation, MVJ Realty viewed itself as acting as an agentcapital being raised for the Company ~~and expected~~by such brokers in the Company’s private placements of preferred stock, such fee to ~~eventually be reimbursed for the $23,000 by the Company subject to the execution and delivery by the Foundation to the Company~~consist of loan documents evidencing that the principal amount of the loan from the Company to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement, had been increased by $23,000. The execution and delivery of such loan documents occurred on July 15, 2015, and MVJ Realty was reimbursed for the $23,000 in August 2015.

In the Two New Applications, the Foundation included background information in regard to each of the Company's directors and officers. If the Two New Licenses are awarded to the Foundation, then the Foundation may seek to obtain financing for the Two New Dispensaries from MVJ Realty/AQSP. The Foundation and MVJ Realty/AQSP have not yet entered into any agreements in regard to such potential financing, and the Company considers it to be extremely doubtful that any such agreements will ever be entered into in light of the on-going disputes between Heatley, the Foundation, and the Company regarding the Teaming Agreement.

~~At this time, no assurances or guarantees whatsoever can be made as to whether any transaction with the Foundation will be successfully consummated, nor on what terms.~~

~~NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

~~We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company expects to issue to a consultant multi-year options or~~ warrants to purchase ~~100,000~~unregistered shares of common stock of the Company ~~with~~at an exercise price equal to the conversion price per share of ~~$1.85~~such preferred stock, exercisable at any time during a five year period; the number of such shares will be calculated as six percent of the aggregate capital raised by such brokers in the private placement of preferred stock divided by the conversion price per share of such preferred stock.

NOTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Companymay be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Except for income tax contingencies, the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

Lifted currently is involved in three pending lawsuits, as the plaintiff:

	(1)	Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Girish GPO, Inc., Girish Ray, and the Law Offices of Saul Roffe – The Company has filed an action in a case styled “Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Girish GPO, Inc., Girish Ray, and the Law Offices of Saul Roffe” seeking to recover $30,000 that was to be held in escrow. The Company is also requesting approximately $14,569 in damages resulting from Girish GPO’s failure to pay for product it ordered and that the Company delivered. The Company has obtained a default judgment against the Law Offices of Saul Roffe and is attempting to collect on the judgment. The action against Girish GPO is in the discovery phase and the Company intends to continue pursuing the action and recover its damages.
	(2)	Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Asad Awawdeh and Habib Cash and Carry SD, Inc. – The Company has filed an action seeking to recover approximately $98,000 in damages resulting from Defendants’ failure to pay for product they ordered. The matter has been filed in California and the Company intends to pursue the action and recover its damages.
	(3)	Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. DEV Distribution, LLC, No, DC-22-15080– In October 2022, Lifted filed an action against Dev Distribution LLC, a vendor who failed to deliver certain products that Lifted has purchased and paid $263,938 for. The case is pending in the State of Texas 14th Civil District Court of Dallas County and is in its early stages. Lifted has amended the complaint to seek the return of its molds and its packaging materials as well as other damages as a result of the vendor's actions.

On May 25, 2023, Lifted entered into a settlement agreement that was mutually acceptable to the parties which has resolved the following lawsuit: Martha, Edgar v. Lifted Liquids. Mr. Edgar Martha, who worked in Lifted’s production facility, had sued Lifted in regard to an alleged chemical burn. In May 2023, the parties settled the litigation and agreed to mutual releases and dismissal of the lawsuit in exchange for $5,000 paid by Lifted to Mr. Martha.

On February 1, 2022, Lifted entered into a settlement agreement that was mutually acceptable to the parties which has resolved the following lawsuit: Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Monkey Bones Distribution LLC (United States Circuit Court for Kenosha County of the State of Wisconsin; Civil Case No. 2021 CV 001196).

In December 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary Lifted sued distributor Monkey Bones Distribution, LLC (“Monkey Bones”) for breach of contract for its failure to pay funds due under the agreement between the parties. In February 2022, the parties settled the litigation and agreed to mutual releases and dismissal of the lawsuit in exchange for $36,100.28 paid by Monkey Bones to Lifted Liquids and 15,000 custom gray scale empty disposable devices delivered to Monkey Bones by Lifted. The parties performed the settlement agreement and the matter was dismissed on February 3, 2022.

NOTE 12 – COMPANY-WIDE MANAGEMENT BONUS POOL

Pursuant to the employment agreements entered into between the Company and its three principal executives GJacobs, WJacobs and NWarrender(individually, “Executive”), the Company is obligated to compensate management of the Company via a management bonus pool.

For each fiscal year during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to be considered for an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) as part of a Company-wide management bonus pool arrangement. During the fourth quarter of each year, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall recommend in writing a consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) target (each, a “Target”) for the following year (the “Target Year”), which Target must be approved in writing by each of the following for as long as he remains employed by the Company: GJacobs, WJacobs, and NWarrender (collectively, and with respect to each for only as long as he is an employee of the Company, the “Executive Management Group”). If the Chairman of the Compensation Committee does not recommend in writing a Target for a Target Year that is approved in writing by all of the members of the Executive Management Group prior to the commencement of the Target Year, then the Target for the Target Year shall be equal to the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the then-current year (i.e., the year preceding the Target Year) as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants. If the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants exceeds the Target (the amount by which the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants exceeds the Target, the “Excess Amount”), then cash equal to 33% of the Excess Amount shall be set aside by the Company as a cash management bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”), and the amount of the Bonus Pool shall be allocated and paid out by the Company as bonuses or fees to the officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (and potentially, to directors or third parties who have significantly helped the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year), with the amount to be paid to each payee, including the amount of any Annual Bonus to be paid to the Executive, to be determined by unanimous written agreement of the Executive Management Group, in their sole discretion. The Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the amount of the Annual Bonus (if any) allocated and paid to the Executive as so determined by unanimous written agreement of the Executive Management Group shall be final, non-appealable, and binding upon the Executive, regardless of whether the Executive receives any Annual Bonus, and regardless of whether any Annual Bonus received by the Executive is higher or lower than any other person’s bonus, under any and all circumstances whatsoever. The Company shall pay the Executive the Annual Bonus, if any, no later than March 15^th of the year following the applicable Target Year. In the event that there is funding for the Bonus Pool but the Executive Management Group does not reach a unanimous decision on Bonus allocations, then no annual bonus shall be paid. The Annual Bonus Pool would then be placed in escrow and the Executive Management Group would mediate.

Pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement, the 2022 company-wide bonus pool shall not be allowed to be accrued or paid by LIFD if and to the extent that doing so would decrease LIFD’s 2022 diluted earnings per share of common stock below $0.56 per share.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not meet the diluted earnings per share of common stock requirement of $0.42 per share ($0.56 x 3/4), and as a result, the Company eliminated the company-wide bonus pool accrual of $2,121,532, which had been accrued through June 30, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, the Company did pay bonuses totaling $466,668 to certain members of the management team of Lifted; however, none of this $466,668 went to GJacobs, WJacobs or NWarrender, and it is accounted for as Company-Wide Management Bonus Pool expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This $466,668 will be deducted from the anticipated 2023 company-wide bonus pool on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, broadened the corporate tax base through the elimination or reduction of deductions, exclusions, and credits, limited the ability of U.S. corporations to deduct interest expense, and transitioned to a territorial tax system which allows for the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. with a 100% federal dividends received deduction prospectively. In addition, the Tax Act required a one-time transitional tax on foreign cash equivalents and previously unremitted earnings. Several of the new provisions enacted as part of the Tax Act require clarification and guidance from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and Treasury Department. These or other changes in U.S. tax laws could impact our profits, effective tax rate, and cash flows.

Significant components on the Company’s income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2023		2022		2023			2022

Total Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes	$	689,275	$	1,291,222	$	716,497		$	2,490,700

The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments to such reserves were required by US GAAP. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination for the years ended December 31, 2017 through 2021, and once the Company’s 2022 tax return is filed, the Company’s 2022 tax return will also be subject to examination.

A reconciliation of the amount of tax provision (benefit) computed using the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the provision (benefit) for income taxes on continuing operations is as follows:

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Company has evaluated the events that have occurred through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and has noted the following subsequent events for disclosure purposes:

Jeeter Agreement

On July 17, 2023, Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made (“Lifted”), a wholly owned subsidiary of LFTD Partners Inc., and DreamFields Brands Inc. d/b/a Jeeter (“Jeeter”) entered a Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing Agreement dated as of July 14, 2023 (the “Jeeter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Jeeter Agreement: (1) Jeeter has appointed Lifted as its exclusive manufacturer, seller and distributor within the United States of vape, gummies and pre-rolled products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids sold under the Jeeter brand (“Products”); (2) Jeeter and Lifted will agree upon the devices, formulation, design, packaging, run costs, and marketing of each of the Products; (3) Jeeter and Lifted will share equally the costs of manufacturing, marketing, distributing and insuring the Products (“Product Costs”); and (4) the revenue from all Product sales, minus applicable Product offsets and sales commissions (“Aggregate Product Revenue”), will be allocated 60% to Jeeter and 40% to Lifted.

The Jeeter Agreement is for an Initial Term of two years, provided that if the completed Product sales during the first year of the Initial Term are a minimum of $48 million (the “Minimum Sales”), then the Initial Term will automatically continue until the end of the second year of the Initial Term. Jeeter and Lifted may mutually agree in writing to extend the Jeeter Agreement for Renewal Terms of at least one year each, but if not so extended then the Jeeter Agreement will automatically terminate.

Jeeter may terminate the Jeeter Agreement at any time upon written notice to Lifted upon any of the following: (1) if Lifted fails to achieve the Minimum Sales during any 12 month period; (2) if there is any material change in federal legislation regarding the manufacturing, sale, use or consumption of hemp-derived Delta-8-THC that in Jeeter’s sole and absolute determination has an adverse impact upon the Jeeter Agreement; or (3) if Jeeter determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the sale of Products under the Jeeter Agreement has or is reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on Jeeter’s Delta-9-THC product business.

The Jeeter Agreement provides that if Aggregate Product Revenue achieves $1.5 million or more in a single month, then thereafter so long as Aggregate Product Revenue achieves $9 million or more in each six month period, Lifted shall be prohibited from directly or indirectly manufacturing, marketing, distributing, promoting or selling pre-rolled joints made from hemp or cannabis in the United States (except under the Jeeter Agreement) during the remaining term of the Jeeter Agreement.

Mirsky Agreement

On July 11, 2023, Lifted and Florence Mirsky (“Mirsky”) entered into an Agreement (the “Mirsky Agreement”). Pursuant to the Mirsky Agreement, in consideration of Mirsky’s introduction of Jeeter to Lifted, Lifted shall pay to Mirsky finder’s fees equal to 6.5% of the amount, if any, by which Lifted’s share of the Aggregate Product Revenue under the Jeeter Agreement exceeds Lifted’s share of the Product Costs under the Jeeter Agreement.

Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock by a Non-Affiliated Shareholder

On August 4, 2023, a non-affiliated shareholder of the Company converted his 2,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 200,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company.

ITEM 2. ~~MANAGEMENT'S~~MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to the ~~"Company," "Acquires Sales," "AQSP," "we," "our"~~“Company,” “LFTD Partners,” “LIFD,” “we,” “our” or ~~"us"~~“us” refer to ~~Acquired Sales Corp.,~~LFTD Partners Inc. and Lifted, unless the context otherwise indicates.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized a net loss after ten straight quarters of profitability, solely because of the impact of a one-time, non-cash stock compensation expense. At the closing of the acquisition of Lifted in February 2020, 645,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company were designated as contingent deferred compensation (the “Deferred Contingent Stock”) to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a schedule delivered by him to the Company (the “Deferred Contingent Stock Recipients”), as an employee retention incentive. Now that certain conditions and requirements have been met, the Deferred Contingent Stock vested on February 24, 2023, and on this date, in accordance with US GAAP, the Company expensed the value of the vested Deferred Contingent Stock. This one-time, non-cash charge reduced net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $3,102,567 to $1,517,719. But for this charge, our Company would have reported a basic and fully diluted EPS of $0.22 and $0.19, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Prior to the acquisition of Lifted on February 24, 2020, LFTD Partners Inc. had no sources of revenue, and LFTD Partners Inc. had a history of recurring losses, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of ~~$13,665,544~~$2,730,688 as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2023. LFTD Partners Inc. is currently also accruing and paying dividends on outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock at the rate of 3% per year, and has certain bonuses being accrued, among other ongoing financial obligations. In addition, we suffered losses from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and we used cash in our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Additionally, as extensively discussed in ~~Note 3,~~the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we ~~sold 100%~~are subject to a wide variety of ~~the capital stock of our subsidiaries, Cogility~~Risk Factors including substantial legal and ~~DSTG, which were our primary source of revenue.~~regulatory risks. These matters cumulatively raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The legal and regulatory risks facing Lifted's business are particularly acute at this point in time, in at least two respects: (1) An official of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (the "DEA") made a presentation at a conference in Houston in April 2023, in which that official reportedly stated that the DEA plans to issue a new rule that would have the effect of classifying certain hemp-derived cannabinoids as controlled substances. If such a new rule were to be issued and become legally binding upon Lifted, it could have a material adverse effect upon over 90% of Lifted's business and upon the trading price of the Company's common stock; and (2) A new or amended federal "Farm Bill" is expected to be passed by Congress and signed by the President sometime during the second half of 2023 or the first half of 2024. If such a new or amended federal "Farm Bill" were to eliminate or limit the legality of hemp and hemp-derivatives, it could have a material adverse effect upon over 90% of Lifted's business and upon the trading price of the Company's common stock.

Comparison of the balance sheet at June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2022

Current Assets	$	16,708,299	$	13,853,949
Current Liabilities	$	6,985,890	$	6,210,133
Working Capital	$	9,722,409	$	7,643,816

Total current assets at June 30, 2023 of $16,708,299 were adequate for us to ~~make estimates~~fund current operations; total current assets primarily consisted of inventory of $10,469,279, net accounts receivable of $2,814,647 and ~~assumptions that affect~~cash on hand of $2,049,268.

Sales allowances, which reduce gross sales on the ~~reported amounts~~Consolidated Statements of ~~assets, liabilities, revenue,~~Operations, are recorded for estimated future discounts/refunds and ~~expenses. In~~product returns and are netted against accounts receivable on the ~~past, significant estimates included share-based compensation forfeiture rates~~Consolidated Balance Sheets. Consequently, as of June 30, 2023 and ~~the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized~~December 31, 2022, accounts receivable were reduced by $364,194 and $935,881, respectively, for ~~financial reporting purposes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our estimates and assumptions.~~

~~INDEX~~

~~Income Taxes~~ – ~~Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable~~sales allowances. The primary impetus for the need of a sales allowance and a reduction in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 was that, sometimes, when employees of federal, state and local regulatory agencies and/or law enforcement make statements and/or issue correspondence that claim or imply that certain hemp-derived cannabinoid products are unsafe or illegal, these statements and correspondence, and industry publications and/or news media coverage of such statements and correspondence, may trigger confusion, uncertainty or alarm among the distributors, retailers and consumers who purchase our products, and consequently result in decreased sales or returns/exchanges of our products. However, the Company has been able to re-sell the returned products to other distributors, retailers and consumers. Nonetheless, in anticipation of the need to honor exchanges of these certain products, management records a credit note reserve and corresponding sales allowance for these types of products.

All accounts receivable older than 90 days are accrued for in allowances for doubtful accounts, which totaled $261,200 and $281,762 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023, the Company also reported prepaid expenses of $911,477.

In comparison, consolidated current ~~year~~assets of $13,853,949 at December 31, 2022 primarily consisted of prepaid expenses of $1,668,961, inventory of $6,023,967, net accounts receivable of $2,410,327, and cash on hand of $3,530,623. Prepaid expenses include prepaid inventory at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of $847,770 and $1,527,920, respectively.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our other assets primarily included goodwill of $23,092,794 and $22,292,767, respectively. Goodwill consists of $22,292,767 related to the acquisition of Lifted on February 24, 2020 and $800,027 related to the acquisition of nearly all of the assets of Oculus CRS, LLC on April 28, 2023. Also, at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our other assets included our investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits, which total $1,896,200. At June 30, 2023, we also reported a net finance lease right-of-use asset of $1,252,800, a net operating lease right-of-use asset of $713,826, net fixed assets of $1,893,439, the non-current portion of a settlement asset of $92,512, and security and state licensing deposits of $35,671.

Due to an extreme need for additional employee parking spots at the 5511 Building, the Company in the fourth quarter of 2022 built a parking lot at the 5511 Building for $193,216, which is accounted for as a leasehold improvement (a capitalized fixed asset). The investment in this necessary parking lot has no impact on the $1,375,000 purchase price that Lifted has committed to pay for the 5511 Building on or before December 31, 2023.

In comparison, at December 31, 2022, we also reported a net finance lease right-of-use asset of $1,274,400, a net operating lease right-of-use asset of $496,604, net fixed assets of $1,020,255, the non-current portion of the settlement asset at $185,024, and security and state licensing deposits of $25,600.

At June 30, 2023, current liabilities of $6,985,890 primarily consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,815,908, finance lease liability of $1,370,124, minimum earnout liability of $1,000,000 pursuant to the Oculus Merger Agreement, and deferred ~~income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases~~revenue of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

~~Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share~~ – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. At January 1, 2016 through May 17, 2016, there were 4,848,774 stock options and 478,000 financing warrants outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings loss per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. On May 18, 2016, 100,000 of these stock options were exercised. As a result, at September 30, 2016, there were 4,748,774 stock options and 478,000 financing warrants outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings loss per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

$622,361. In comparison, ~~there were 4,848,774 employee stock options~~current liabilities as of December 31, 2022 of $6,210,133 primarily consisted of accounts payable and ~~938,000 warrants outstanding~~accrued expenses of $4,049,897, finance lease liability of $1,357,524, and deferred revenue of $594,086.

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,730,688 and $4,238,735 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Comparison of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2022

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized net sales of $12,522,542 and $24,984,335, respectively. In comparison, during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2015~~2022, Lifted recognized net sales of $16,776,502 and $34,865,379, respectively. Reasons for the decrease in net sales include, but are not limited to: greater competition in the marketplace for branded hemp-derived and psychoactive products that ~~were excluded from~~are similar to those that Lifted sells; more distributors creating their own brands and selling their own branded products at a lower price than Lifted’s products; increased competition for products containing more milligrams of cannabinoids per unit at a lower price point; and other competing brands paying distributors and wholesalers to replace Lifted’s products on valuable shelf space.

Below are tables showing the ~~computation~~approximate disaggregation of ~~diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.~~

Table of Contents

During the ~~Terms~~six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized net income of ~~an Award Provide That~~$1,517,719, which includes the impact of a ~~Performance Target Could Be Achieved after~~one-time, non-cash stock compensation expense of $2,138,175. At the ~~Requisite Service Period (a consensus~~closing of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU No. 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period shall be treated as a performance condition. The effective date is the first quarteracquisition of ~~fiscal year 2016. We adopted ASU No. 2014-12; the adoption~~Lifted in February 2020, 645,000 shares of ~~this has had no effect on the financial statements.~~

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update change the accounting for certain stock-based compensation transactions, including the income tax consequences and cash flow classification for applicable transactions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on our financial statements.

~~Off Balance Sheet Arrangements~~ ~~– We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.~~

~~The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc.~~

The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), a non-profit Massachusetts corporation, has received a provisional registration from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to own and operate a medical marijuana cultivation facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and a medical marijuana dispensary in Dennis, Massachusetts. Heatley is the founder and a member of the board of directors of the Foundation.

~~Teaming Agreement~~ – We believe it is highly likely that the board of directors of the Foundation will only approve contracts that have been negotiated and approved by Heatley. Consequently, on July 8, 2014, we entered into a Teaming Agreement (the "Teaming Agreement") with Heatley, in which, among other things: (1) we and Heatley agreed to use our respective best efforts, working exclusively together as a team, and not as a partnership or other entity, in order to consummate transactions, agreements, contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which we will provide capital and expertise to the Foundation; and (2) Heatley agreed that Heatley shall not, and shall not permit the Foundation to, discuss or negotiate for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from any third party. We claim that Heatley violated the Teaming Agreement by discussing and negotiating for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from at least one third party. Heatley claims that we violated the Teaming Agreement alleging that we failed to lend funds to the Foundation in accordance with the Teaming Agreement. We believe Heatley's claim to be baseless. No assurances whatsoever can be made that Heatley will comply with the terms of the Teaming Agreement, nor that we will be able to adequately enforce the terms of the Teaming Agreement if it is ever the subject of litigation.

~~Promissory Note~~ – On July 14, 2014, the Foundation signed and delivered to us a Secured Promissory Note (the "Note") which is in the stated loan amount of $1,500,000, and is secured by a Security Agreement of even date therewith (the "Security Agreement"). The Note provides that the $1,500,000 loan may be advanced in one or more installments as the Foundation and we may mutually agree upon. The Foundation and we mutually agreed that the first installment of this loan would be $602,500. Pursuant to instructions from the Foundation, on July 14, 2014, we paid $2,500 owed by the Foundation to one of its consultants, and we advanced $600,000 directly to the Foundation. The amount and timing of subsequent loan installments under the Note, which could have totaled $897,500, had not yet been mutually agreed upon between the Foundation and us as of the date of the Note.

~~INDEX~~

Between April and July 2015, we loaned an additional $135,350 to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement. Following such additional loans, the principal of the loan from us to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement, is now $737,850.

The principal balance outstanding under the Note bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly. It was contemplated that the first payment of accrued interest by the Foundation under the Note would be made as soon after the Foundation commences operations of the Plymouth Cultivation Facility and the Dennis Dispensary as the Foundation's cash flows shall reasonably permit, but in any event no later than one year after the Foundation commences operations. The principal of the Note would be payable in eight consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Foundation commences operations. ~~Principal on the Note and related accrued interest would be considered past due if the aforementioned payments were not received by their due dates.~~

~~Uncollectable Note and Interest Receivable~~ – We assessed the collectability of the Note based on the adequacy of the Foundation's collateral and the Foundation's capability of repaying the Note according to its terms. Based on this assessment, on September 1, 2015, we concluded that Note and interest receivable would not be collectible. As such, we wrote off the Note totaling $737,850 and interest receivable totaling $97,427 as bad debt expense on September 1, 2015.

~~Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments~~

~~Cultivation and dispensary of Medical Marijuana in the State of Massachusetts~~ – On July 20, 2014, we entered into an agreement to pay a lump sum finder's fee to Parare Partners Inc. in the event that all of the following conditions occur: (1) we make certain loans to the Foundation which was found by Parare Partners Inc., (2) the Foundation constructs and brings into operation its planned medical marijuana cultivation facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts and a medical marijuana dispensary in Dennis, Massachusetts, (3) we directly or via subsidiaries enter into certain consulting agreements with the Foundation, and (4) all necessary approvals are obtained. If all of such conditions occur, then the finder's fee will be calculated as follows:

~~5% of the first $1,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of such loans~~

~~4% of the second $1,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of such loans~~

~~3% of the third $1,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of such loans~~

~~2% of the fourth $1,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of such loans~~

~~1% of the aggregate principal amount of such loans that are in excess of $4,000,000~~

We have not paid any fees under this Agreement. All of the conditions have not been met for the finder's fee to have accrued on the amounts loaned to the Foundation; therefore, a liability has not been recorded for the finder's fee at September 30, 2016.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, MVJ Realty, LLC, an affiliate of AQSP director Vincent J. Mesolella ("MVJ Realty"), loaned a total of $23,000 to the Foundation, which $23,000 was purportedly used as follows: (a) $9,500 was used by the Foundation to pay the rent of the Plymouth Cultivation Facility for the month of May, 2015; (b) $6,900 was used by the Foundation to pay the rent of the Dennis Dispensary for the months of April and May, 2015; (c) $3,600 was used by the Foundation to pay for the general liability insurance policy covering the Plymouth Cultivation Facility and the Dennis Dispensary; and (d) $3,000 was used by the Foundation to pay the application fees for two applications (the "Two New Applications") by the Foundation to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for licenses (the "Two New Licenses") to operate two new medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts (the "Two New Dispensaries"). In making these $23,000 loans to the Foundation, MVJ Realty viewed itself as acting as an agent for us, and expected to eventually be reimbursed for the $23,000 by us subject to the execution and delivery by the Foundation to us of loan documents evidencing that the principal amount of the loan from us to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement, had been increased by $23,000. The execution and delivery of such loan documents occurred on July 15, 2015, and MVJ Realty was reimbursed for the $23,000 in August 2015.

In the Two New Applications, the Foundation included background information in regard to each of our directors and officers. If the Two New Licenses are awarded to the Foundation, then the Foundation may seek to obtain financing for the Two New Dispensaries from MVJ Realty/Acquired Sales. The Foundation and MVJ Realty/Acquired Sales have not yet entered into any agreements in regard to such potential financing, and we consider it to be extremely doubtful that any such agreements will ever be entered into in light of the on-going disputes between Heatley, the Foundation, and us regarding the Teaming Agreement.

~~INDEX~~

~~At this time, no assurances or guarantees whatsoever can be made as to whether any transaction with the Foundation will be successfully consummated, nor on what terms.~~

~~Acquisition of Real Estate in Rhode Island~~

As discussed in our prior public filings, we have attempted to acquire one or more of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties. The Mesolella/Jacobs Properties are parcels of real estate in Rhode Island that are owned by entities affiliated with Vincent J. Mesolella and his son Derek V. Mesolella, formerly an independent contractor to AQSP. One of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties is also partly owned by an affiliate of our CEO, Gerard M. Jacobs.

~~Recent discussions among Messrs. Mesolella and Jacobs and our independent directors have made it increasingly likely that we will never purchase any of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties.~~

Simultaneous with Vincent J. Mesolella's agreement to negotiate in good faith regarding the possibility of us acquiring the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties, in November 2014, the officers and directors of the Company were awarded the right to purchase, directly or using a designee, for an aggregate price of $2 per director: (a) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.35 million shares ofunregistered common stock of the Company atwere designated as contingent deferred compensation (the “Deferred Contingent Stock”) to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a schedule delivered by him to the Company (the “Deferred Contingent Stock Recipients”), as an ~~exercise price of $0.01 per share;~~employee retention incentive. Now that certain conditions and ~~(b) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.35 million shares of common stock~~requirements have been met, the Deferred Contingent Stock vested on February 24, 2023, and on this date, in accordance with US GAAP, the Company expensed the value of the vested Deferred Contingent Stock. This one-time, non-cash charge reduced net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $3,102,567 to $1,517,719. But for this charge, our Company atwould have reported a basic and fully diluted EPS of $0.22 and $0.19, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $1,778,329 and $3,652,827, respectively, of payroll expenses; this is down from $1,811,678 and $3,665,829, respectively, of payroll expenses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Lifted continues to increase the size of its workforce, especially the number of its production personnel. The Company has also recently hired a compliance officer, and an ~~exercise price~~IT specialist. In addition, Lifted’s CSO, who was hired on July 1, 2021, has developed and implemented certain important strategies which have assisted Lifted’s efforts to increase its production, fulfillment and sales capabilities. The CSO’s two-year agreement with Lifted entitles the CSO to be paid an annual salary of ~~$1.85~~$180,000 plus a bonus equal to 5% of total net sales for Lifted in excess of $6,000,000 per ~~share, 100,000~~quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the bonus earned by the CSO was $275,524 and $587,864, respectively. In comparison, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the bonus earned by the CSO was $538,825 and $1,143,269, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company expensed and paid $233,332 to certain members of ~~which warrants are vested,~~the management team of Lifted; however, none of this $233,332 went to GJacobs, WJacobs or NWarrender, and ~~1.25 million~~it is accounted for as Company-Wide Management Bonus Pool expense on the Consolidated Statements of ~~which warrants are subject~~Operations. This $233,332, along with the $233,336 Company-Wide Management Bonus Pool expense paid to certain members of the management team of Lifted (again excluding GJacobs, WJacobs or NWarrender) in the fourth quarter of 2022 will be deducted from the anticipated 2023 company-wide bonus pool on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In comparison, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1,152,162 and $2,121,532, respectively, related to the ~~condition~~company-wide management bonus pool. In the third quarter of 2022, the company-wide bonus pool accrual was fully reversed, except for $233,336 paid to certain members of the management team in the fourth quarter of 2022.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $250,178 and $478,749, respectively, in advertising and marketing expenses, which primarily related to trade shows, marketing, and the cost of promotional items. In comparison, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $110,797, and $216,397, respectively, in advertising and marketing expenses, which primarily related to public relations, trade shows, and the cost of promotional items.

Bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $77,981 and $221,500, respectively. In comparison, bad debt expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects net benefits of $311,209 and $63,209, respectively.

Other operating expenses increased to $715,147 and $1,326,613, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, from $528,608 and $911,070, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Other operating expenses include, for example, lab supplies, dues and subscriptions, meals and entertainment, insurance expenses, repairs and maintenance, and state license & filing fees. The annual cost of certain insurance policies that the Company ~~shall have acquired at least one~~has in place are based on the Company’s revenue; as such, these policies are costly for the Company.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, total net non-operating Other Expenses of $23,938 primarily consisted of interest expense of $24,364, offset by interest income of $10,664. In comparison, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, total, non-operating net Other Income of $82,385 primarily consisted of interest expense of $26,928 offset by a settlement income of $108,570.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant economic disruption despite progress made in recent months in the development and distribution of vaccines. It has already disrupted Lifted’s operations, global travel and supply chains, and adversely impacted global commercial activity. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds COVID-19, the evolution and future impact of its variants, its potential long-term economic effects, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken by government authorities and businesses and of various efforts to inoculate the global population. The travel restrictions, limits on hours of operations and/or closures of non-essential businesses, and other efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 and its variants have significantly disrupted business activity globally and there is uncertainty as to if and when these disruptions will fully subside.

Significant uncertainty continues to exist concerning the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Lifted’s, our customers’ and target companies’ business and operations in future periods. Although our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were not materially impacted by COVID-19, we believe that our revenues may be negatively impacted in future periods until the effects of the pandemic have fully subsided and the current macroeconomic environment has substantially recovered. The uncertainty related to COVID-19 may also result in increased volatility in the financial projections we use as the basis for estimates and assumptions used in our financial statements. We have made some efforts to try to adapt our operations to meet the challenges of this uncertain and rapidly evolving situation, including expanding operations in areas where we perceive government restrictions on business operations are relatively less burdensome, and focusing some of our new product development in areas where we perceive government restrictions and prohibitions on hemp-derived cannabinoid products are relatively less likely. The COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications, including Illinois Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order in response to the pandemic, materially damaged Lifted’s business, among other things by disrupting Lifted’s access to its employees, suppliers, packaging, distributors and customers. That is why Lifted applied for and received funding under the federal Economic Injury Disaster Loan program and the federal Paycheck Protection Program.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that may negatively impact our business in future periods include, but are not limited to: inflation; higher interest rates; disruption of the banking system; disruptions of Lifted’s workforce; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business, purchase our products, and make timely payments; curtailed consumer spending; deferred purchasing decisions; supply chain problems and delays, and changes in demand from retail customers. We will continue to actively monitor the nature and extent of the impact to our business, operating results, and financial condition.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our ~~management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,~~Chief Financial Officer, WJacobs, evaluated the effectiveness of ~~our~~the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in ~~Rule~~Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, ~~as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure~~means controls and other procedures ~~our management recognized~~of a company that ~~any controls and procedures, no matter how well~~are designed ~~and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact~~to ensure that ~~there are resource constraints and that management is~~information required to ~~apply its judgment~~be disclosed by a company in ~~evaluating~~ the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurancereports, such as this report, that ~~any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.~~

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we fileit files or ~~submit~~submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in ~~Securities~~the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange ~~Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information~~Act is accumulated and communicated to ~~our~~the company’s management, including ~~our chief~~its principal executive ~~officer~~ and ~~chief~~principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

~~As indicated~~ Based on that evaluation, WJacobs concluded that because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our ~~Form 10-K~~disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023.

(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the ~~year ended December 31, 2015,~~Company. “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d - 5(f) as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by an issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures that:

	(1)	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of an issuer;
	(2)	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
	(3)	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

During June 2023, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 based on the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 was not effective. ~~Management's assessment~~Management identified the following material weaknesses as of June 30, 2023:

(1)

There existed a lack of segregation of duties in regard to the Company’s financial reporting, procedures for depositing of funds, procedures for cash disbursements, procedures for checkbook entries, period close procedures, and procedures for financial statement preparation.

Management has determined that the Company should seek to enhance its internal controls over financial reporting by maintaining the following steps first commenced in 2010:

(1)

During November 2010, the Company increased its Board of Directors to six members by adding another independent member, Mr. Vincent J. Mesolella. Mr. Mesolella is the Chairman of the Narragansett Bay Commission, Providence, Rhode Island. Mr. Mesolella is also the Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of MVJ Realty, LLC, a real estate development company. Mr. Mesolella has previously served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of a publicly traded company.

Table of Contents

Beginning in March 2010, the Company began emailing or mailing to Mr. Mesolella a copy of each monthly statement from its bank summarizing all activity in the Company’s checking account, for review and questioning as appropriate. The purpose of Mr. Mesolella’s involvement is to provide monitoring, oversight and assistance to GJacobs, Chief Executive Officer, in the preparation and reporting of the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2021, the Company engaged a third-party consulting firm that specializes in the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to assist management with the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company is actively engaged in a comprehensive effort to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, but additional work is required, and no guarantee or assurance can be given as to when such work will be completed.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not ~~changed at September 30, 2016. There existed a lack~~prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of ~~segregation~~any evaluation of ~~duties in regard~~effectiveness to future periods are subject to the ~~Company's financial reporting, procedures for depositing~~risk that controls may become inadequate because of ~~funds, procedures for cash disbursements, procedures for checkbook entries, period close procedures,~~changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures ~~for~~may deteriorate.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial ~~statement preparation~~reporting.

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that ~~result~~permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management is unaware of any material ~~weaknesses~~inaccuracies or errors in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2023.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial ~~reporting.~~

~~Changes in Internal Control over~~reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial ~~Reporting~~

~~Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has~~Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that ~~has~~have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Lifted currently is involved in four pending lawsuits, three as the ~~best knowledge~~plaintiff, and one as the defendant. Please refer to NOTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS above for more information.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The Risk Factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 continue to represent the most significant risks to the Company’s future results of operations and financial conditions, without further modification or amendment, except as follows:

(1) An infectious hop latent viroid might adversely affect the availability and cost of our raw materials

It has been reported that experts have sounded an alarm over the global spread of a dangerous and infectious hop latent virus (HpLVd) that is threatening to spiral out of control and potentially cause billions of dollars of losses for cannabis and hop growers. If this viroid were to cause significant problems for hemp growers in the US, it might potentially decrease the availability, and increase the cost, of hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoids that are the principal raw materials for our products. This may have a material adverse effect on our Company and the trading price of our common stock; and

(2) Communications by employees of regulatory agencies and/or law enforcement may disrupt the sales of our products

Employees of federal, state and local regulatory agencies and/or law enforcement sometimes make statements and/or issue correspondence that claim or imply that certain hemp-derived cannabinoid products are unsafe or illegal. These statements and correspondence, and industry publications and/or news media coverage of such statements and correspondence, sometimes trigger confusion, uncertainty or alarm among the distributors, retailers and consumers who purchase our products, and sometimes result in decreased sales or returns/exchanges of our products. This situation may have a material adverse effect on our Company and the trading price of our common stock.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Issuance of Deferred Contingent Stock

At the closing of the ~~officers and directors,~~acquisition of Lifted, 645,000 shares of unregistered common stock of the Company ~~is not~~were designated as contingent deferred compensation to certain persons specified by NWarrender in a ~~party~~schedule delivered by him to ~~any legal proceeding or litigation.~~

~~Not required.~~

~~Item 2. Unregistered Sales~~the Company at the closing of ~~Equity~~the Merger. Now that certain conditions and requirements have been met, starting on February 24, 2023, the deferred contingent stock has begun to be issued to certain recipients of the deferred contingent stock who have instructed the Company to issue to them their respective, earned deferred contingent stock. As of June 30, 2023, 410,000 shares of deferred contingent stock have been issued to certain recipients of deferred contingent stock, including 200,000 shares of deferred contingent stock to WJacobs. See NOTE 9 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY.

On April 28, 2023, Lifted purchased nearly all of the assets of its hemp flower products supplier Oculus CRS, LLC, Aztec, New Mexico, and merged with Oculus CHS Management Corp. In connection with the merger, 100 shares of unregistered common stock of LIFD were issued, and a minimum of 160,000 more shares of common stock will be issued at a later date.See NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF LFTD PARTNERS INC.
