NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of the interim period presented. Certain note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s TransitionAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the transition periodfiscal year ended March 31, 2021.2022. Unless so stated, the disclosures in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not repeal the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements for the transition periodyear ended March 31, 2021.2022.

During the 11-month transition period ended March 31, 2021, and the nine months ended December 31, 2021, consolidated net loss was $1,235,021 and $13,202,933, respectively. During the 11-month transition period ended March 31, 2021, and the nine months ended December 31, 2021, consolidated cash used in operating activities was $1,566,970 and $13,178,848, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, consolidated cash and cash equivalents are $19,780,531. In the near term, the Company anticipates continuing to use operating cash due to: (i) a sustained reduction in sales; (ii) investments in new geographic markets, new lines of business, and/or new products; and (iii) costs associated with the due diligence associated with purchasing strategic assets and companies. The Company believes that funds from the $30 million convertible loan received from Decentralized Sharing Systems, Inc. (“DSSI”) on April 5, 2021 (see Note 8 below) and proceeds from investments by DSSI into the Company, provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to sustain the Company’s plans and operations at current levels over the next twelve months.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year data to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily consisting, as of March 31, 2021, reclassification of the liability associated with uncertain tax positions of $904,643 and, for the nine months ended January 31, 2021, reclassification of the gain on employee warrants liability of $672,230.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the use of judgment and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, if any. Matters that require the use of estimates and assumptions include: the recoverability of notes and accounts receivable, the valuation of inventory, the useful lives of fixed assets, the assessment of long-lived assets for impairment, the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations resulting from contracts with customers, allocation of the transaction price to multiple performance obligations in a sales transaction, the measurement and recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities, the valuation of stock-based compensation awards, the measurement and recognition of uncertain tax positions, and the valuation of loss contingencies, if any. Actual results may differ from these estimates in amounts that aremay be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are reasonable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

ASU 2019-12, among other things, (a) eliminates the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income (or a gain) from other items, (b) eliminates the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when the year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year, (c) requires than an entity recognize a franchise tax (or a similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, and (d) requires than an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation for the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective April 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Pending Adoption
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments. Among other things, under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer must be separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features not required to be accounted for as derivatives, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also eliminates the use of the treasury stock method when calculating the impact of convertible instruments on diluted Earnings per Share. For the Company, the provisions of ASU 2020-06 are effective for its fiscal quarter beginning on April 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, subject to certain limitations. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company calculates itsWe calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated similarly but reflects the potential impact of shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible preferred stock, convertible notes payable, stock warrants and other commitments to issue common stock, except where the impact would be anti-dilutive.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share also reflects an adjustment to net earnings for the potential reduction to a reporting period’s interest expense, net of applicable income tax, which would result if the Company’s convertible notes payable were converted at the beginning of such reporting period.

Regulatory Matters
In May 2021, the Company announced that it has received a notice from the pertinent licensing authority in the Republic of Korea, (“KOSSA”) stating that the multi-level license previously issued to the Company’s subsidiary organized in South Korea has been cancelled by KOSSA. The Company is actively investigating the facts surrounding the cancellation and is reviewing all available options to resolve all outstanding issues raised by KOSSA. In addition, the Company has retained a well-respected local law firm and is evaluating several options available to the Company to conduct business in South Korea.
Legal Matters in General
The Company and its subsidiaries havehas incurred several claims in the normal course of business. The Company believes such claims can be resolved without any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company maintains certain liability insurance. However, certain costs of defending lawsuits are not covered by or only partially covered by its insurance policies, including claims that are below insurance deductibles. Additionally, insurance carriers could refuse to cover certain claims, in whole or in part. The Company accrues costs to defend itself from litigation as they are incurred.
The outcome of litigation is uncertain, and despite management’s view of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of the Company’s estimates and reserves, the Company’s financial statements could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from current legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable, and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated. No provision for legal matters was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2021.at June 30, 2022.

We believe that the actual impact of the health crisis, and/or actions taken to contain the spread of the virus, have had and continue to have an adverse impact on the economies in the geographies we serve. Consumer demand for discretionary products such as ours is sensitive to significant downturns in the economy, increases in unemployment or decreases in perceived employment security, and decreases in consumer sentiment in general.
In an effortefforts to protect our customers, distributors, employees, and other business partners, in 2020, we have instituted several temporary preventive measures, including temporarily transitioning a significant number of our corporate employees to working remotely, increasing efforts to clean and sanitize our business facilities, increasing employee safety communication, efforts, and transitioning our sales conventions to a virtual convention platform. Some ofWhile these temporary measures have increased our already significant reliance on telephone and computer systems and on the availability of continued and impeded access to the Internet by our business. The timing when these temporary measures will beare increasingly being eased or fully reversed altogether is contingent on the success of current efforts, by governmental policy makers, healthcare service providers, and others, to contain the infection rates in the U.S. and other countries where we operate. Atat the time of this Quarterly Report, we cannot project with certainty the timing and extend of any potential easing or reversal ofbelieve these necessary, temporary measurements are likely to have had an adverse impact on our temporary preventive measures.business.

As a result of the foregoing, we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate scope, duration, and ultimate impact of the global COVIDthis public health emergency in the countries where we operate, including its impact on the economy, but we believe the pandemic maythese conditions are likely to have had and continue to have a material adverse impact on our businesses,business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations (including revenues and profitability), and those of our key suppliers.
The COVID emergency also may have the effect of exacerbating some of the other risk factors described elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, including the success of our growth initiatives, our ability to anticipate and effectively respond to changes in consumer preferences and buying trends in a timely manner, our dependence on one supplier for a substantial portion of the products we sell, potential fluctuations in our quarterly financial performance, our ability to generate sustained, positive cash flows from operations with which to fund our working capital needs, the potential impact on our financial performance from economic slowdowns, our ability to effectively and cost-efficiently respond to any epidemics and other health emergencies, and the potential impact on our business of any disruption in our information technology systems.

The decrease in consolidated net sales mainly reflects: (a) continuation of the decline in consumer orders that we experienced by our direct-to-consumer subsidiaries since the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2020, (b) a decline experienced by our direct-to-consumer subsidiaries, in independent distributor orders, in the number of new independent distributors and in the number of continuing active distributors, resulting, in part, from recent product reformulations and increased competition for independent distributors, and (c) the generally adverse impact on consumer buying trends resulting from the recent increase in consumer good prices and in energy costs in the U.S. and from lingering effects of the COVID global health emergency and actions taken to help mitigate the spread of the virus in the geographies in which we operate. This decrease was partially mitigated by sales (approximately $2.0 million) of health and wellness products introduced since January 31, 2021.

We use the recognition and measurement provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) to account for income taxes. The provisions of Topic 740 require a company to record a valuation allowance when the “more likely than not” criterion for realizing net deferred tax assets cannot be met. Furthermore, the weight given to the potential effect of such evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. As a result, we reviewed the operating results, as well as all positive and negative evidence related to realization of such deferred tax assets to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance in each tax jurisdiction. In evaluating the US and South Korea markets, it was determined a valuation allowance should be placed on each market as of December 31, 2021.
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a consolidated current federal income tax provision of $4.2 million, including a valuation allowance of $2.6 million placed on certain deferred tax assets being carried forward or projected to reverse in future years due to the uncertainty of the Company generating sufficient taxable income in the foreseeable future to make realization probable, a consolidated deferred income tax benefit of $2.5 million and a provision for state and local taxes of $41,931.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.Company’s Controls and Procedures. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. Any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud (if any) within the Company will behave been detected. Furthermore, because the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements and/or omissions due to error or fraud may occur undetected.

In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that necessary corrective action, including process improvement, followed. We perform this type of evaluation on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can accompany our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based upon the aforementioned evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicatedsignificant deficiency was attributable mainly to our management, including our CEOfailure to effectively review and CFO, as appropriateproofread the registration statement, detect and correct any errors before it was filed with the SEC.
