NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

CFN Enterprises Inc., formerly known as Accelerize Inc., or the Company, is a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 22, 2005. Effective October 22, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to CFN Enterprises Inc.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement or the Emerging Growth Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC, or the Seller or Emerging Growth, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business for a purchase price consideration consisting of $420,000 in cash, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock with a total stated value of $3,000,000 which bears interest at 6% per annum and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price to be mutually agreed in the future, without voting rights or a liquidation preference except with respect to default interest. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing of the purchase of the assets pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement occurred on June 20, 2019.

The Company’s operations consist of the sponsored content and marketing business from the assets acquired pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement.

On January 22, 2021, the Company invested $35,000 in a new joint venture focused on sponsored content and marketing called East West Asset Management or East West. East West was formed as a Limited Liability Company in the State of Nevada on November 13, 2020. CFN owns 50% of the entity and one of its officers holds the title of Member Manager in East West. The Company has concluded that East West is a variable interest entity in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance. As such, the accounts and results of East West have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 23, 2021, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with CNP Operating, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, or CNP Operating, and the owners of all of the equity interests of CNP Operating, or the Owners, whereby the Company acquired 100% of CNP Operating from the Owners in exchange for an aggregate of 23.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On August 25, 2021 the transaction was closed and CNP Operating became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

CNP Operating is a leading cannabidiol, or CBD, manufacturer vertically integrated with a 360 degree approach to the processing of high quality CBD products designed for growers, pharmaceutical, wellness providers, and retailers needs. CNP Operating provide toll processing services which includes; extraction, distillation, remediation, isolation and chromatography. CNP Operating has a professional, organized and dedicated team with 30 years of combined experience. CNP Operating’s state of the art facility has 30,000 square feet filled with proprietary technology distillation equipment, in house lab testing, distribution warehouse and white labelling product formulation and design.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $6,635,356 and an accumulated deficit of $51,722,903 as of June 30, 2022. The Company also had a net loss of $2,769,023 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, growing the CNP Operating business and its existing business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement, managing and reducing operating and overhead costs and continuing to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities including launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness cannabidiol, or CBD, products

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

The outbreak of a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations. Our main customer market suffered its worst decline, decreasing our revenue. Mandatory closures of businesses imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus disrupted the operations of our management, business and finance teams. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance. We took steps to diversify our revenue model by creating our CBD ecommerce business which has higher margins during the second half of 2020 and to acquire CNP Operating in August 2021and to reduce our costs. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results further will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, but may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries CNP Operating, CFN Real Estate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, CFN Real Estate II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and East West. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the results of operations of the Company and Cake Marketing UK Ltd., or the Subsidiary. The Company discontinued its operations associated with its CAKE Business and the operations of its Subsidiary in May 2019. The Subsidiary was officially dissolved in August 2020. These accounts have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Continuing operations presented in periods prior reflect administrative expenses associated with business insurance, legal and accounting fees that the Company will continue to incur.

During the period, the Company concluded that East West is a variable interest entity in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance. As such, the accounts and results of East West have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation of these may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2022.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets, borrowing rate considered for operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s sponsored content and marketing business acquired from Emerging Growth in June 2019 has historically been its one reportable segment. In late 2020, the Company launched an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD products. As of December 31, 2021, sales of these products and the operating activities associated with the e-commerce business have not been significant. However, management expects this e-commerce business to eventually become a reportable segment under GAAP

as the business grows and the activity becomes more significant. The Company’s acquisition of CNP Operating in August 2021 results in an additional reporting segment that will be provided in future periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company has restricted cash as a result of its corporate card program through its bank, which requires collateral placed in a money market account. At June 30, 2022, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $20,023 included as a component of total cash and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s account receivables are due from customers relating to contracts to provide investor relation services. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 amounted to $378,692 and $337,192, respectively.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods acquired for its e-commerce network business it is currently in the process of launching. The inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or estimated net realizable value.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and restricted cash accounts are held at a financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. From time-to-time, the Company’s bank balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

Subsequent to the closing of the Emerging Growth Agreement on June 20, 2019, the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of promotional service packages to its customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. The services provided by the Company include advertising, publishing of interviews and articles across its network and featuring of client content on its newsletters and social media. The packages all have fixed prices that are billed monthly over the terms of the agreement in even amounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers over time as work is performed, which is deemed to occur evenly throughout the duration of the contract. This also reflects the pattern in which costs are incurred on performing the contracts. To the extent revenue recognized on contracts at each period end exceeds collections, the amounts are reflected as accounts receivable. To the extent collections on contracts at each period end exceeds revenue recognized, the amounts are reflected as deferred revenue.

The Company accounts for its CNP Operating revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees are presented in revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lines of credit approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items. The Company’s notes payable approximate their fair value due to the market rate of interest on the notes.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $7,197 and $24,315, respectively. Advertising expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $18,411 and $33,344, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

For interim periods, the Company uses the effective income tax rate method resulting in zero income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Investments

On December 24, 2020, the Company acquired a 9.8% interest in the outstanding stock of a privately held company for $200,000. As the stock has no readily determinable fair values, the Company accounts for this stock received using the cost method, less adjustments

for impairment. At each reporting period, management reviews the status of the investment to determine if any indicators of impairment have occurred.

There were no impairment charges recorded related to investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 4,000 outstanding stock options and 988,500 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 210,667 outstanding stock options and 312,500 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Common stock Awards

The Company has granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 6, Stockholders’ Deficit.

Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) using the modified retrospective method. This accounting standard requires a lessee to recognize an asset and liability for most leases on its balance sheet. Upon adoption, right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases were recorded in the amount of $181,134 and $181,134, respectively.

The Company elected the practical expedient method permitted under the transition guidance, which allows a carryforward of historical lease classification, the assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and the initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to July 1, 2019. The Company also elected to recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included in lease liabilities or ROU asset. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, a rate which approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. Lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Over the lease term, the Company uses the effective interest rate method to account for the lease liability as lease payments are made and the ROU asset is amortized in a manner that results in straight-line expense recognition.

NOTE 4: MARKETABLE SECURITIES

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company began offering customers of its East West Venture who purchase services the option to pay the contract price in securities issued by the Customer which could be a common stock, preferred stock or convertible debentures. In accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition, the Company will value the shares received at the fair market value of the date the contract is executed. The shares received will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 320 – Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, as such the shares will be classified as available-for-sale securities and will be measured at each reporting period at fair value with the unrealized gain or (loss) as a component of other income (expense). Upon the sale of the shares, the Company will record the gain or (loss) in the consolidated statement of operations as a component of net income (loss).

	Marketable

Additions	`-`
Sale of marketable securities	`-`
Change in fair value	`(19,494)`
Balance, June 30, 2022	`$27,022`

The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities in accordance with ASC 321-10 Investments - Equity Securities. The equity securities may be classified into two categories and accounted for as follows:

·	Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Any dividends received are recorded in interest income, the fair value of equity investments with fair values is primarily obtained from third-party pricing services.

·	Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are reported at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer and their impact on fair value. Any dividends received are recorded in interest income. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, when an orderly transaction for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer is identified, we use the valuation techniques permitted under ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement to evaluate the observed transaction(s) and adjust the fair value of the equity investment.

NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis.

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made. The Company considers marketable securities quoted on the NASDAQ, Canadian Stock Exchange and OTC Pink sheets and then discounts the value after considering Rule 144 restrictions and market liquidity to be fair valued with Level 1 inputs. The Company had the following financial assets of June 30, 2022:

	Balance as of	Significant Unobservable Inputs
	June 30, 2022	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Marketable Securities	`27,022`	`27,022`
Total Assets	`$27,022`	`$27,022`	`$-`	`$-`

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information’’ elsewhere in this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We own and operate CNP Operating, a leading CBD manufacturer vertically integrated with a 360 degree approach to the processing of high quality CBD products designed for growers, pharmaceutical, wellness providers, and retailers’ needs, and a cannabis industry focused sponsored content and marketing business, or the CFN Business. Our ongoing operations currently consist primarily of CNP Operating and the CFN Business and we will continue to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities. We are currently in the process of launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD products.

CNP Operating provides toll processing services which includes extraction, distillation, remediation, isolation and chromatography. CNP Operating has a professional, organized and dedicated team with 30 years of combined experience. CNP Operating’s state of the art facility has 30,000 square feet filled with proprietary technology distillation equipment, in house lab testing, distribution warehouse and white labelling product formulation and design.

The CFN Business generates revenue through sponsored content, including articles, press releases, videos, podcasts, advertisements and other media, email advertisements and other marketing campaigns run on behalf of public and private companies in the cannabis industry, helping them reach accredited, retail and institutional investors. Most revenue is generated through contracts involving a monthly cash payment.

The CFN Business’ primary expenses come from advertising on platforms like Twitter and Facebook and from employee salaries and contractor fees. The CFN Business’ content is primarily produced by a team of freelance writers and video content is produced through various vendors. The CFN Business also incurs hosting and development costs associated with maintaining and improving its website, web applications, and mobile applications. The CFN Business operates several media platforms, including CannabisFN.com, the CannabisFN iOS app, the CFN Media YouTube channel, the CFN Media podcast, and other venues. These properties are designed to educate and inform investors interested in the cannabis industry, as well as provide a platform for the clients of the CFN Business to reach investors. The CFN Business distributes content across numerous online platforms, including the CannabisFN.com website, press releases, financial news syndicates, search engines, YouTube, iTunes, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others.

The CFN Business targets the legal cannabis industry. According to Grand View Research, the global cannabis industry is expected to reach $146.4 billion by 2025, driven by the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis across a growing number of jurisdictions. According to the Marijuana Index, there are approximately 400 public companies involved in the cannabis industry, which represents the primary target market of the CFN Business. The CFN Business’ services are designed to help private companies prepare to go public and public companies grow their shareholder base through sponsored content and marketing outreach. The success of the CFN Business depends on the legal status of cannabis, investor demand for cannabis investments, and numerous other external factors.

The CFN Business competes with other public relations firms for clients, as well as online publishers for investors. Public relations competition includes investor awareness firms like Stockhouse Publishing, Catalyst Xchange, Stonebridge Partners and Midan Ventures. Online publisher competition includes firms like New Cannabis Ventures, Leafly and High Times.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

The following are the results of our operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021:

Net Revenues

The Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of promotional service packages to customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company realized $77,420 of campaign revenue compared to $278,328 in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in efforts in 2022 to the CNP Operating business.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s subsidiary CNP Operating generated revenue of $1.4 million from the sale of products produced from hemp material and manufactured into CBD distillate.

Cost of Revenue

The costs of revenue consist primarily of labor, fees paid for production of content for clients and the costs of placement of the content on various platforms. In 2022, the contracts required less production services and related labor than the contracts in 2021. As a result, the cost of revenue in 2022 was lower as a percentage of the revenue recognized during the quarter.

The Company’s cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were higher than those in the corresponding year in 2021 due largely to the acquisition of CNP Operating which represented approximately $2.2 million of cost of revenue which primarily represents the cost of hemp material, manufacturing material such as solvent, fuel and equipment depreciation.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were higher than those in the corresponding three months in 2021 due largely to the acquisition of CNP Operating in August 2021.

Other Income/Expense

Other expenses during the first three months of 2022 were primarily due to interest expense related to notes payable and amortization of debt discount. In 2022, the Company recorded a $87,933 gain on the sale of property and equipment. The Company also recorded a $19,494 unrealized loss on marketable securities in 2022 an unrealized gain of $8,420 in 2021.

Net Revenues

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company realized $179,646 of campaign revenue compared to $490,178 in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in efforts in 2022 to the CNP Operating Business.

Cost of Revenue

The Company’s cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were higher than those in the corresponding year in 2021 due largely to the acquisition of CNP Operating which represented approximately $4.3 million of cost of revenue which primarily represents the cost of hemp material, manufacturing material such as solvent, fuel and equipment depreciation.

Operating Expenses

The Company also recorded a $19,494 unrealized loss on marketable securities in 2022 an unrealized gain of $8,420 in 2021.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

Our plan to continue as a going concern includes raising additional capital in the form of debt or equity, growing the CNP Operating business and the business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. We cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for us to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2022	2021
Cash flows used in operating activities	`$(1,305,560)`	`$(416,871)`
Cash flows used in investing activities	`$(172,588)`	`$-`
Cash flows provided by financing activities	`$1,433,237`	`$323,000`

As of June 30, 2022, we had unrestricted cash of $125,095.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.4 million during the same period in 2021. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by the Company’s higher net loss in 2022, partially offset by non-cash charges.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.4 million, including $1.2 million in proceeds from promissory notes, proceeds from common stock of $210,000, partially offset by note repayments of $15,206. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $323,000 was the result of proceeds from a second PPP loan of $263,000, the sale of common stock for $10,000 and the exercise of $50,000 of warrants. In 2020 net cash provided from investing activities related of $368,000 was the result of proceeds from notes payable of $413,000, offset by the payment of preferred stock interest of $45,000.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak has become increasingly widespread in the United States, including each of the areas in which we operate. While to date we have not been required to stop operating, COVID-19 has had and is expected to continue to have an adverse effect on the financial condition of us and our customers. The outbreak of COVID-19 in the U.S. has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations. Our main customer market suffered its worst decline, decreasing our revenue. Mandatory closures of businesses imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus is disrupting the operations of our management, business and finance teams. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance. We took steps to diversify our revenue model by creating our CBD ecommerce business which has higher margins during the second half of 2020 and to acquire CNP Operating in August 2021 and reduce our costs. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results further will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, but may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During 2019, in order to remediate the segregation of duties and other deficiencies initially created by the departure of our accounting department in June 2019, we hired accounting consultants to perform our account reconciliations and other day-to-day accounting requirements. The internal control structure was also documented and assessed in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls as it relates to our continuing operations. In addition, we revised and improved the use of our systems for getting appropriate approvals for purchases and other activities that require authorization. However, our ability to file timely reports is heavily dependent on having the necessary financial resources to pay consultants and other outside service providers involved with performing key elements of our disclosure and financial reporting controls. Our current financial condition, brought on in-part by COVID-19, has temporarily hindered our ability to file timely reports for this reason. As a result, we have assessed our disclosure controls and controls over financial reporting as not effective.
