BESPOKE EXTRACTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Business Operations
Bespoke Extracts, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation focused on operating in the regulated cannabis markets in the United States. Through Bespoke Extracts Colorado, LLC ("Bespoke Colorado"), we operate a marijuana infused products production facility in Aurora, Colorado.
On December 2, 2021, Bespoke Colorado, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with WonderLeaf, LLC ("WonderLeaf"), and on December 7, 2021, Bespoke Colorado and WonderLeaf entered into an amendment to such asset purchase agreement (as amended, the "WonderLeaf Purchase Agreement"). On January 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the WonderLeaf assets and the change of control was approved by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division for 222,223 shares of common stock valued at $50,000, or $0.225 per share. At the time of acquisition WonderLeaf had no operations, no employees and was not considered a business.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Bespoke Extracts, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary Bespoke Extracts Colorado, LLC. All inter-company balances have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming a continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had negative cash flows from operations of $153,662 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and a working capital deficit of $1,603,728 and accumulated deficit of $26,217,267, as of September 30, 2024. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of these financial statements.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.
Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail or cease our operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the assumption used in the valuation of equity-based transactions, valuation of intangible assets, allowance for provision for credit losses and inventory valuation and reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000 at any single bank.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, licenses, and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, because of their short-term natures and the Company's borrowing rate of interest.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for provision for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased provision for credit losses.
The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 14 or net 30 days. Once collection efforts by the Company are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0 and $0, respectively.
Inventory, net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out basis and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposition and transportation and a normal profit margin. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory amounted to $44,227, and $15,800 net of reserves, respectively, which consisted of raw materials of $44,227 and $15,800.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and capitalized from the initial date of service. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Schedule of Estimated useful Lives of Property and Equipment
Furniture and Equipment | 5 years |
License
License represents the Colorado license for distributing cannabis.

Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by discounts and estimates for credits and returns (calculated based upon previous experience and management's evaluation). Outbound shipping charged to customers is recognized at the time the related merchandise revenues are recognized and are included in net revenues. Inbound and outbound shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of revenues.
Our products are sold directly to licensed marijuana dispensaries in Colorado. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due on the date of shipment or within 14 to 30 days.
As of September 30, 2024 two customers amounted to 16.0% and 10.0% of the accounts receivable.
As of December 31, 2023, two customers amounted to 19.4% and 14.9% of accounts receivable.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable, and in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, including related amendments and interpretations.
Net Income / (Loss) per Share
Basic income / (loss) per share amounts are computed based on net income / (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the "if converted" method. The effect of 164,876 warrants and 1,565,341 options is anti-dilutive for the Nine months ended September 30, 2024, as they are not in the money.
Recent accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements in the reporting period ended September 30, 2024.
Income Taxes
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance necessary to offset our deferred tax assets that will not be recoverable. We have recorded and continue to carry a full valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets that will not reverse against deferred tax liabilities within the scheduled reversal period. If we determine in the future that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will adjust our valuation allowance in the period we make the determination. We expect to provide a full valuation allowance on our future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets.

2. ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On January 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of the WonderLeaf assets for 222,223 shares of common stock valued at $50,000, or $0.225 per share. At the time of acquisition WonderLeaf had no operations or no employees and was not considered a business.
Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the business of WonderLeaf to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it acquired assets. No goodwill was recorded since the purchase was accounted for as an asset purchase. In accordance with ASC 805, the fair value of the assets acquired is based on either the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident, and thus, more reliably measurable. The Company used the market price of the 222,223 common shares issued of $50,000 as the fair value of the assets acquired since this value was more clearly evident, and thus, more reliably measurable than the fair value of the license and fixed assets acquired.
Company management determined if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. The FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2017-01) that changed the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606. Under the new guidance, an entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set is not a business. If it's not met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Under the ASU, a set is not a business when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets.
Pursuant to 805-10-55-83, the Company first considered the guidance in paragraphs 805-10-55-5A through 55-5C. The identifiable assets that could be recognized in the purchase only included the license and fixed assets. Accordingly, the transaction was not considered a business.
The monetary value of the 222,223 shares is deemed by the Company to be $50,000 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805-50-30 "Business Combinations", the Company determined that if the consideration paid is not in the form of cash, the measurement may be based on either (i) the cost which is measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or (ii) the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and thus more reliably measurable. No goodwill should be recorded since the WPA was accounting for as an asset purchase. The Company determined that the fair value of the common shares issued was a better indicator which is more reliably measurable.
The Company assigned a value of $10,000 to the licenses and $40,000 to the fixed assets acquired.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $21,445. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $153,662. Our current liabilities as of September 30, 2024 were $1,727,778 and consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,446,989, current portion of lease liability of $73,523, note payable of $25,000, secured notes payable of $120,394 and advances payable related party of $61,872. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash deficit of $2,949. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $398,379. Our current liabilities as of September 30, 2023 were $925,281 and consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $828,069, and current portion of lease liability of $64,330 and notes payable related party of $26,997.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company borrowed an additional $8,500 from a related party, $25,000 note payable and secured notes payable of $135,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company borrowed an additional $26,997 from a related party and repaid $90,000 owed for an inventory earnout in addition the Company borrowed an additional $434,000 in a Note payable from a related party.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared assuming a continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had negative cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 and had a working capital deficit at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Our primary source of capital has been from the sale of equity and convertible debt securities. Our primary use of capital has been for professional fees and selling, general and administrative costs. We have no committed sources of capital and will need to raise additional capital to continue and expand our operations. Additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations, including by limiting access to our facilities, customers, management, and professional advisors, and by causing delays and constraints in manufacturing and shipping of our products. These factors, in turn, may negatively impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our products, and our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described below and in Note 1 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides provision for credit losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out basis and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposition and transportation and a normal profit margin.
Income Taxes
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance necessary to offset our deferred tax assets that will not be recoverable. We have recorded and continue to carry a full valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets that will not reverse against deferred tax liabilities within the scheduled reversal period. If we determine in the future that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will adjust our valuation allowance in the period we make the determination. We expect to provide a full valuation allowance on our future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable, and in accordance FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, including related amendments and interpretations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following material weaknesses exist:
● | Our chief executive officer also functions as our principal financial officer. As a result, our officer may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports; |
● | We were unable to maintain full segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties; and |
● | Documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete. |
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
