EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed May 18, 2020 (the “Original Report”) is being filed to include the information below regarding our reliance the SEC’s conditional exemptive orders issued in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. With the exception of the additional disclosures set forth below, all disclosures contained in the Original Report are unchanged.

On March 30, 2020, Kisses From Italy, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, and is filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in reliance on the Order of the Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 4, 2020, as modified March 25, 2020, pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 modifying exemptions from the reporting and proxy delivery requirements for public companies (Release No. 34-22465).

The preparation of the Company’s Annual Report, including financial statements and completion of the auditing process, was delayed by government-imposed quarantines, office closures and travel restrictions, which affected both the Company’s and its service provider’s personnel. Specifically, the Company has significant operations in Bari, Italy, which has been locked down by the government since March 9, 2020, due to concerns related to the spread of COVID-19. As a result of these government-imposed quarantines, office closings and travel restrictions, the Company’s accounting personnel and service providers have been delayed in processing certain of its accounting records and receipts required to complete the audit of the Company’s financial statements.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview and History

Kisses From Italy, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “Kisses”) is a Florida corporation incorporated on March 7, 2013, which is focused on developing a fast-casual food dining chain restaurant business. We commenced operations by opening our initial corporately owned location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in May 2015. Thereafter, by April 2016 we opened three additional locations, all in Southern Florida, through a working relationship with Wyndham Hotels, where we have built two of our other locations. Other than our lease agreements for these locations we have no other agreement in place with Wyndham Hotels. While we have had discussions with their management about enhancing and expanding our working relationship with them, we have no agreement in place to create such a relationship with Wyndham or any other national chain of hotels or timeshare operators and there are no assurances that any such arrangement will become effective in the near future, or at all.

In September 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in Southern Florida, causing significant damage to the area. As a result, we closed all of our stores for renovation following the storm. Our Fort Lauderdale location was reopened in early November 2017. We reopened two of the hotel locations in Pompano Beach in January 2018 but elected not to reopen our 4^th location, as this location suffered significant damage in the storm. See “Restaurant Development” below. We intend to own and operate up to 6 of our restaurants and utilize them as a showcase in the marketing of our proposed franchise operations.

In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise License and now can sell franchises in all of the states in the US except for New York, Virginia, and Maryland which we intend to add at later dates if sufficient demand exists. In June 2017, we completed the sales of two franchise locations in Florida. We anticipate commencement of the building and development of these locations by the end of 2018.

We strive to provide the highest level of service, high-quality ingredients, and products. Enveloped in our mission is our philosophy to support and partner with local producers and suppliers within the regions in order to provide a truly authentic experience to our customers. Our vision is to leverage the success of our flagship store and our initial hotel locations in the South Florida market and to expand into other regions on a local, state, national, and global level. The main focus is doing so through our continued corporate-owned store expansion, along with the development and sales of additional locations through the advancement of our franchise and territorial rights program.

In May 2018 we filed our initial registration statement on Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. On August 23, 2018, our registration statement was deemed effective by the Commission. We registered an aggregate of 22,201,250 shares of our Common Stock in the registration statement. Subsequently, a licensed broker-dealer filed an application to list our Common Stock for trading. On September 23. 2019 the Company’s application to trade its common stock on the OTCQB under the symbol “KITL”.

In May of 2019, we began the initial steps of developing our first European restaurant location, which is located at Strada Provinciale 70 #100, Ceglie del Campo, 70129, Bari, Italia. Our European location began its operation on October 24, 2019. Our European location will also act as our distribution center for European products destined for our current locations and future corporate-owned and franchised locations.

Our principal offices are located at 80 SW 8^th St. Suite 2000, Miami, Florida, 33130, telephone (305) 423-7024 and our website is www.kissesfromitaly.com.

Current Business Plan

Each of our restaurants has been and will continue to be designed to deliver great-tasting food in less than five minutes for in-restaurant dining or take-out orders. In addition, the restaurant’s menu and operating systems have been specifically designed for consistent quality, which we believe is necessary for high-growth franchising. Hours of operation are expected to be from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, subject to change if additional hours are required based upon the respective location of our restaurants.

Covid-19 pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most U.S. states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.

COVID-19 and the U.S.’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business or our operations.

Our Menu

Our menu includes grilled paninis including an Italian style Panini, sausage, beef, sliced pork, or chicken topped with quality natural “sott'olio” (grilled and marinated vegetable) products at prices ranging from $5.95 to $7.95. We also offer deli paninis including fresh cheese Panini, prosciutto, salami, capocollo, bresaola, and turkey panini’s ranging in price from $5.95 to $7.95. All our panini’s include lettuce, tomato, and one choice of cheese and three choices of marinated vegetables, or three choices of grilled vegetables.

We also will offer desserts including a Nutella sandwich, a variety of fresh Danish, cannoli, Italian biscotti, sfogliatelle or a corneti, ranging in price from $1.50 to $2.50. Our breakfast menu is served all day We will also have a full coffee and tea favorites, including espresso, cappuccino, and other coffee drinks, soft drinks, bottled water, and juices, as well as various flavors of granite (ices).

We also will offer desserts including a Nutella sandwich, a variety of fresh Danish, cannoli, Italian biscotti, sfogliatelle or a corneti, ranging in price from $1.50 to $2.50. We will provide an egg sandwich for breakfast only.

We will also have a full coffee and tea favorites, including espresso, cappuccino, and other coffee drinks, soft drinks, bottled water, and juices, as well as various flavors of granite (ices).

Our vision is to transport true authentic and rustic taste from the provinces of Italy through a fresh Panini with an espresso, latte, or cold slush espresso to go. We intend to offer products that will cater to all diets including gluten-free diets and emphasize fresh products with no preservatives.

All our sott'olio and coffee products are made in Italy. Our management is in constant communication with our product manufacturers and search for high quality and authentic products from different regions from Southern Italy including Sicily, Calabria, Puglia, Napoli, Potenza, and Toscana. Ensuring freshness and quality, our representatives work closely with local farmers and ranchers for all meats and fresh vegetables. All our products are D.O.P. (Protected Designation of Origin) certified and defined in the European Commission Regulations.

Quick Service Restaurants

Between May 2015 and May 2016, we opened four (4) restaurants in Southern Florida. Each of our restaurants is owned by a wholly-owned limited liability company. Our initial restaurant is located at 3146 NE 9^th Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This location is across the street from an Atlantic Ocean public beach and consists of approximately 1,000 square feet of a retail restaurant with seating for up to 25 guests. See “Part I, Item 2, Property,” below. This restaurant opened for business in May 2015. Subsequently, we opened three additional similar restaurants, all in Southern Florida.

Except for the Fort Lauderdale location, all of our restaurant locations arose out of a relationship we established with Wyndham Vacation Ownership, Inc., which operates timeshare apartment complexes. Of our three restaurants, two are located in Wyndham timeshare resort properties where they are the only restaurants on site. Our lease agreements provide for our restaurants to provide room service that can be charged to the customer’s room, as well as an opportunity to provide food and beverage service to various sales, orientations, marketing, and owner events held by Wyndham regularly on these properties. Wyndham remits payments for these services bi-weekly and charges us with a 5% administrative fee for processing costs.

The initial relationship with Wyndham has provided us with an additional revenue stream that we had not considered when we originally began implementing our business plan. We have continued our discussions with Wyndham, as well as other similar companies, and believe that our continued expansion of our restaurant concept will be enhanced as a result of our developing a more extensive relationship with Wyndham or another similar company. There are no assurances this will occur.

Our flagship location, at 3146 NE 9^THin Fort Lauderdale, suffered the greatest impact from the Hurricane of all of our locations. The commercial building where our restaurant was located sustained severe damage. We have remained as the sole tenant on the property since September 2017. Property repair from the Hurricane did not commence until well into the second half of 2018. The building remained in shambles as of this date of this Report. This has greatly reduced the foot traffic to the surrounding area thereby affecting our exposure to any potential walk-by customers. As repairs to the building finally commenced in mid-2018, we were asked by the building landlord to close for the entire month of July 2018. We complied and received a rent abatement for a period of four (4) months. The impact from these on-going repairs continued well in 2019 with no clear of estimated time as to when the repairs will be completed. While no assurances can be provided we are confident that once the repairs are complete the area will return to its once sought out status.

Each location is managed by one senior employee/manager and individually assessed based on foot traffic, seasonality, and other demographic factors. We abide by the standards and rules set forth by the State of Florida Department of Health. Michele Di Turi, our CEO and Ross Golub have the Certified Food Manager accreditation and have the proper authority to provide necessary food safety courses.

Restaurant Franchising

In addition to opening our company-owned restaurants, we are engaged in franchising of our restaurant concept so that we can build market share and brand awareness. We retained legal counsel specializing in franchise operations, who has prepared our Franchise Agreement. In May 2017, we completed its National Franchise License and now have the ability to sell franchises in all of the states in the US except for New York, Virginia, and Maryland which we intend to add at later dates if sufficient demand exists. On June 23^rd, 2017 we completed the sale of our initial two franchises at a price of $15,000 per location, each to be located in Florida. These locations are set to be developed at a later date. We anticipate commencement of the building and development of these locations by July 1, 2020.

Each of our franchise restaurants are required to conform to a standard of interior design, featuring a distinctive and comfortable Italian décor. Our prior approval is required for each specific location of a proposed franchise restaurant, which includes a requirement that the same be in a clearly identifiable commercial location built out in accordance with our standards. Franchisees are also required to satisfactorily complete training and purchase certain equipment and supplies from us and other approved suppliers. We also require the purchase of a point-of-sale system and data polling services from a specified supplier and a computer system that meets established system standards.

Franchisees are required to purchase approximately 90% to 95% of their supplies and food inventory either directly from us, or from approved suppliers. We attempt to negotiate system-wide volume discounts and/or rebates for our franchisees from approved suppliers and if successful, pass such discounts and/or rebates on to franchisees based on the volume of their purchases from the suppliers providing the discounts.

The franchise agreement also requires our franchisee to pay royalties of 9% of gross sales, which are defined to be total actual charges for all products (food and non-food) and services, such as catering and delivery, sold to customers, exclusive of taxes, every week. We retain 6% of this royalty and the remaining 3% goes towards a marketing fund. The marketing fund is broken down in two parts, 2% for local marketing and 1% for national marketing. We anticipate that until national coverage is warranted, local and/or regional marketing campaigns will be implemented.

We also require that our franchisee enter into a collateral assignment and assumption of lease through which we are granted a security interest in all of the furniture, removable trade fixtures, inventory, licenses and supplies located in the restaurant as collateral for (1) the payment of any obligation owed to us, (2) any default or breach under the terms of the lease, and (3) any default or breach of any of the terms and provisions of the franchise agreement. In the event of a breach of or default under the lease or payment by a franchisee as a result of a breach or default, we may be entitled to possession of the restaurant and all of our rights, title, and interest in and to the lease. We also enter into a conditional assignment of telephone numbers and listings that assigns us telephone numbers and directory listings upon termination or expiration of a franchise relationship.

The initial term of a franchise agreement is ten years, with a renewal provision of between 2-5 years on the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement so long as there has been substantial compliance with the franchise agreement and pay a to-be-determined fee for each renewal.

Franchisees are also required to replace any franchise that terminates or expires or any restaurant that closes within the territory if necessary, to maintain the number of our named restaurants required in the development schedule. If a franchisee fails to meet the development schedule, we have the right to terminate the agreement or adjust that territory to eliminate any state in the territory where they have not achieved the minimum number required for that state.

We are required to perform the following services:

Solicitation of new franchise owners - Actively and continuously market and promote through advertising and solicit prospective franchise owners in their territory according to an annual plan and budget that they develop and submit for our approval.

Site selection, leasing, and build-out - Consult and advise franchise owners with site selection and lease negotiation of the restaurants. Develop and maintain relationships with landlords for purposes of obtaining sites for restaurants and coordinating efforts with franchise owners to lease such sites. Develop relationships with landlords, contractors, equipment suppliers, and service providers in the territory and assist in the supervision of the build-out for the restaurants in our territory.

Training - Provide all initial training to the franchise owners, as well as supplemental and refresher training at our training restaurant. Schedule and coordinate all training of all franchise owners with our required mode of operations.

Opening assistance - Provide grand opening support, including coordinating marketing with local television, radio, newspapers, and trade publications. Provide franchise owners with supervisory assistance and guidance in connection with the opening and initial operations of their restaurants. Provide pre-opening and post-opening assistance for each new restaurant.

Monitoring, audit, and inspection - Be responsible for at least monthly monitoring of the operation of their restaurants, including monitoring and reporting of the sales volume and other data as determined from time to time. Monitor and communicate to our franchisee the marketing efforts of our restaurants. Conduct or assist franchisees with inspecting or auditing restaurants and their owners, with visits no less than monthly and in-depth reports at least quarterly.

Vendors and suppliers - Notify vendors and, if necessary, locate new vendors for the franchises and coordinate distribution and purchasing programs. Assist franchisees in developing programs for suppliers and distributors of approved products. Maintain positive relationships and evaluate additional incentive programs and marketing programs from approved and preferred suppliers, vendors, and other designated parties.

Continuing assistance to franchise owners - Provide continuing operating assistance and assist in facilitating transfers and renewals of franchises. Assist franchise owners during transfers of their franchises or restaurants.

We also require our franchisees to maintain certain staffing levels to meet all of the terms of the agreement. For the first development year, we require each location to have 2 corporate employees, increasing to 3 for the fifth development year.

If a franchisee fails to perform any of the above services and we need to step in to perform such tasks, we require that they pay us an amount equal to 125% of the expenditures incurred by us in performing the services that they failed to perform. In addition, such failure will constitute a breach of the agreement. A breach of the agreement gives us the right to terminate the agreement after delivering notice to them of the breach and their failure to cure the breach within 30 days after delivery of the notice.

The agreement includes provisions where each franchisee must refer all inquiries for franchises in their territory to us. Under the terms of the Area Representative Agreement, we have the sole right to grant franchises in all our unsold territories, terminate a franchise agreement, and approve site selections, leases, and other franchise real estate transactions.

Franchise Marketing

Our marketing strategy for establishing multi-unit franchises is to contact individuals or entities that have previously developed franchises in other concepts. This strategy allows us to find people with the proper knowledge, experience, and financial resources to develop a successful franchise operation in a timely fashion.

We are seeking individuals or groups with the skills and financial strength to operate multi-unit franchise organizations within specific geographic territories. These persons must qualify on the basis of their skill sets and financial ability to develop a territory. We anticipate a franchise territory will consist of areas that are either cities or counties depending on population. We seek to identify people with considerable experience in the management of food service venues who also have sufficient start-up capital to open several of our restaurants.

As of the date of this Report, we have entered into discussions with several possible franchise owners. It is anticipated that these franchisees may open multiple units, including restaurants in Florida, California, the United Kingdom, Italy and/or Canada. However, there is no definitive agreement binding these potential franchisees to purchasing any of our franchises and there are no assurances that we will sell any franchises in the future.

We will consider the skills and investment capital that each potential multiple franchise owner presents to determine the size and nature of the territory and the minimum number of our restaurants that the franchise owner will be required to maintain in the territory in order keep the exclusive rights to that territory. We will review the demographics of each proposed location to consider the appropriate number of restaurants in each area based upon population and other factors including per capita income and then set the minimum number of restaurants at half the amount. Franchisees will not be restricted from opening additional restaurants beyond the minimum for their territory. We have not yet generated revenue from the sourcing of franchises and there are no assurances we will ever generate revenues from this business concept.

Commissary System

We plan to develop centralized commissary facilities that will serve all of the restaurants that we own in a given region. We believe that a commissary that serves a region of restaurants will improve efficiency and consistency for the restaurant concept. We also believe that a commissary system will allow our restaurants to be approximately 500 square feet smaller than they would otherwise be. We plan to build commissaries in areas with lower rent. In this manner, we plan to save the difference between the 500 fewer square feet that retail rental space would cost and the commissary’s costs located in a lower rent area. Our commissary will have storage space for paper products as well as walk-in coolers to store food. Food preparation for sauces, salad dressings, and other base ingredients will be done in the commissary “clean room” and then delivered to local restaurants daily. We believe central food preparation of sauces and base ingredients will maintain the consistency of our restaurants’ products and possibly reduce labor costs.

Restaurant Advertising

Our advertising has and will consist primarily of newspaper print ads, direct mailing efforts and also through social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets. We also participated in other forms of advertising. For example, we intend to use an airplane to advertise our Kisses banner to the Fort Lauderdale beach crowd, offering promotional free coffee and T-shirts. Our ads will contain a coupon for a free coffee with the purchase of any meal item.

As we open restaurants in new markets we plan to duplicate the advertising effort we employed in Fort Lauderdale and to spend initially approximately 2% to 3% of monthly revenue for local advertising on a per company-owned restaurant basis. Since we plan to build multiple restaurants simultaneously within a specific geographic region, we believe our advertising cost as a percentage of revenue will decrease as we increase the number of restaurants within a region. There are no assurances we will successfully open multiple restaurants moving forward.

Employees

We currently employ 8 full-time persons, plus our officers. Employees include 4 chefs, 3 baristas and an inventory manager. Our employees work at will and are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe our relationship with our employees is excellent in most cases. We require all our employees and consultants to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement. Our success relies on our ability to hire additional employees, particularly on the local sales side. We believe there are numerous quality people to choose from throughout our area of targeted expansion.

As we grow we anticipate in the near future we will require a franchise director and a Chief Financial Officer/Controller, as well as various administrative support personnel.

Competition

The fast-food segment of the restaurant industry is highly competitive and fragmented. In addition, fast food restaurants compete against other segments of the restaurant industry, including fast-casual restaurants and casual dining restaurants. The number, size, and strength of our competitors vary by region. Our competitors also compete based on a number of factors, including taste, the speed of service, value, name recognition, restaurant location, and customer service.

The restaurant industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number, and location of competing food retailers and products; and disposable purchasing power. Our restaurant concept is expected to compete with international, national, and regional restaurant chains as well as locally-owned restaurants. We will compete not only for customers, but also for management and hourly personnel, suitable real estate sites, and qualified franchisees.

We believe that each of the following restaurants may provide competition to our proposed restaurants because they all are franchise operations that sell sandwiches and coffee:

Jimmy John’s

Subway

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Miami Subs Grill

Starbucks

Of the above-listed restaurants, all are larger and have significantly greater financial resources than we currently have available.

Government Regulations

We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting our business. Our restaurants must comply with licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, sanitation, safety, and fire agencies in the state or municipality in which the restaurant is located. In addition, we must comply with various state laws that regulate the franchisor/franchisee relationship.

We are also subject to federal and state laws governing employment and pay practices, overtime, tip credits, and working conditions. The bulk of our employees are paid on an hourly basis at rates related to the federal and state minimum wages.

We are also subject to federal and state child labor laws which, among other things, prohibit the use of certain “hazardous equipment” by employees 18 years of age or younger. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, we could be required to expend funds to modify our restaurants to better provide service to, or make reasonable accommodation for the employment of disabled persons. We continue to monitor our facilities for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act in order to conform to its requirements. We believe future expenditures for such compliance would not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

As a potential franchisor, we will be soliciting prospects for franchises and are subject to federal and state laws pertaining to franchising. These laws require that certain information be provided to franchise prospects at certain times and regulate what can be said and done during the offering process. Some states require the franchise offering circular to be registered and renewed on an annual basis.

Trademarks and Patents

We have applied for and received a registered trademark of our logo in Italy, No. 0001 528191. We have also obtained the registered trademark of our logo in the United States (the United States Patent and Trademark Office) Serial Number. 87138230

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB over-the-counter market under the symbol “KITL.” Over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. On May14, 2020 the closing price on the OTC Markets for our Common Stock was $0.122

Holders

As of the date of this Report, we had 107 holders of record for our Common Shares.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any dividends since our incorporation and do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. At present, our policy is to retain earnings, if any, to develop and market our products. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, capital requirements, and operating financial conditions.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and

contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

Stock Transfer Agent

We have retained ClearTrust Stock Transfer, Inc., 16540 Pointe Village Drive, Suite 205, Lutz, FL 33558, phone (813) 235-4490 as the transfer agent for our Common Stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this Report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a Florida corporation incorporated on March 7, 2013, focused on developing a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business. We commenced operations by opening our initial corporately owned location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in May 2015. We opened three additional locations by April 2016, all in Southern Florida, through a working relationship with Wyndham Hotels. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma caused significant damage to the area. As a result, we closed all of our stores for renovation following the storm. We reopened two of these locations but elected not to reopen our 4^th location. See “Business - Restaurant Development” below. If we are able to raise additional capital, of which there is no assurance, our intention is to own and operate up to 10 of our restaurants and utilize them as a showcase in the marketing of our proposed franchise operations.

In May 2017, we completed our National Franchise License and now have the ability to sell franchises in all of the states in the US except for New York, Virginia, and Maryland which we intend to add at later dates if sufficient demand exists. In June 2017, we completed the sales of two franchise locations in Florida. We anticipate commencement of the building and development of these locations by mid to the end of 2021, however, due to the COVID -19 pandemic there can be no assurances.

We have never been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding. Our principal offices are located at 80 SW 8^th St. Suite 2000, Miami, Florida, 33130, telephone (305) 423-7129 and our website is www.kissesfromitaly.com.

Going Concern

Our financial statements accompanying this Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We have a minimal operating history and minimal revenues or earnings from operations. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues for the immediate future. See “Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements, and Supplementary Data.”

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018

Revenue and Cost of Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we generated $461,298 in revenues, compared to revenues of $444,421 in revenue during the same period in 2018, an increase of $16,877, or approximately 3.8%. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our restaurants are currently closed, and when we do open the stores we expect volume to be negatively impacted. As a result, we expect our revenue in 2020 to be significantly lower than in 2019. The magnitude of the impact, the duration of the pandemic and the timing on our restaurant re-opening is currently indeterminable.

Cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2019 was 214,357 compared to $209,568 during the year ended December 31, 2018. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was consistent at 46.5% and 47.2%, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We are more efficient in terms of cost of sales at higher revenue levels. We expect our cost of sales as a percentage of sales to be reduced, if higher revenue levels increase.

Operating expenses

Operating expense increased during the year ended December 31, 2019, to $3,011,531 from $591,589 during the same period in 2018. Operating results for 2019 include a non-cash charge of $2,309,897 for stock issuances compared to zero in the 2018 period. During 2019 compared to 2018, payroll expense increased $60,553 primarily due to the addition of a group manager for the restaurants; general and administrative expense increased by $80,247 due to expense increases in numerous expense line items including outside services, utilities and maintenance and repairs; and rent expense increased $22,048. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting and professional fees of $46,175.

Other income and expense

Other income and expenses were $339,362 in net expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a net expense of $114,286 during 2018. The increase in net expense of $225,076 is attributable to an increase in interest expense due to the expensing of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes and Series C Preferred Stock, and the recording of interest on higher levels of debt. Except for one $10,000 note holder, all of our interest-bearing debt instruments amounting to $656,196 were converted to equity on September 30, 2019.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss attributable to Kisses from Italy, Inc. during the year ended December 31, 2019 of $3,082,860 or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of attributable to Kisses from Italy Inc. of $445,448 for the year ended December 31, 2018, or an increase in net loss of $2,637,412. The increase in net loss attributable to Kisses from Italy, Inc. is primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expense of $2,309,897 in 2019 compared to zero in 2018, and due to an increase in interest expense of $225,076 in 2019 above 2018 levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2019, we had $26,841 in cash.

Net cash used in operating activities was $422,871 during the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $267,172 during the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase in the cash used in the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the similar period in 2018 was primarily due to an increased operating loss in 2019 of $3,082,860 compared a loss of $445,445 in 2018, offset by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of 2,309,897 in 2019 compared to zero during the same period in 2018.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $12,069 for the purchase of equipment of which $10,069 was for our new Bari location in Italy during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $-0- in 2018.

Cash flows provided by financing activities was $438,904 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to cash used in financing activities of $238,094 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase is attributable to proceeds from convertible notes we received in 2019 of $388,547 compared to 277,650 in 2018, proceeds from the sale of preferred stock in 2019 of $50,000 compared to $-0- in 2018, and proceeds from loan balances in 2019 of $357 compared to net loan repayments of ($39556) in 2018. The amount of capital we raise will vary from period to period based on the effectiveness of our fund-raising efforts.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of our financial statements. We have incurred annual losses since inception and expect to incur additional losses in future periods.

We have one asset-based line of credit of $15,950. The amount of credit available to be accessed is dependent on the amount of documented credit receipts received by our restaurants. The due dates on these credit advances are typically between 90 and 180 days. The interest rates on this facility is approximately 25%, plus additional processing fees of approximately 5%. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31 2018, loan payable balances were $6,000 and $5,643 respectively. The amount of loans outstanding was significantly reduced due to proceeds from less expensive (in terms of the interest rate) convertible debt that was applied against loan balances.

In order to continue the development of the Company, including opening additional company-owned restaurants and continuing to develop and enhance marketing of our franchise concept, we estimate we will need approximately $1 million in additional capital. We believe we can open at least 2 additional locations for approximately $300,000. We intend to use the balance of the funds to either open additional locations or on franchise marketing. We believe that by continuing to open company-owned restaurants we can use these locations to market the franchises.

Historically we have raised cash from the proceeds from the private placement of our shares, and through the sale of convertible debentures. We have no agreement with any investment banking or other financing source to provide us with funding. We can provide no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. While we have had discussions with potential investors and investment bankers, we have no agreement with any third party to provide us this additional financing and there can be no assurances that we will obtain this financing, either debt or equity or both, on favorable terms, or at all. Our inability to receive this financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting estimates – The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Stock-based Compensation – We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Leases – We follow the guidance in ASC 840 “Leases,” which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements we enter into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.

On November 15, 2019, the FASB has issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives and leases standards (ASC 842) for certain companies. Since we are classified as a “small reporting company” and we have a calendar-year end we are eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to January 1, 2021.

ASC 842 will be effective for us beginning on January 1,2021. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, we meet the definition of an “emerging growth company.” We have irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non- emerging growth companies.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, our consolidated financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606 compared to Topic 605.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard.

ASC 842 will be effective for us beginning on January 1,2020. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on our financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Kisses From Italy, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kisses From Italy, Inc. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Kisses From Italy, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Kisses From Italy Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 7, 2013. The Company’s main focus is to develop a fast, casual food dining chain restaurant business of corporate-owned restaurants and expanding through a nationwide/international franchise and territory sales program. The Company commenced operations in May 2015 by opening its first location in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Three additional restaurants, which were located in various Wyndham Hotel properties in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, were then opened within the following ten months. All locations, which were in leased facilities, were fully operational by April 2016. In December 2017, the Company vacated one of its restaurants due to the hurricane and did not re-open that location in 2019.

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses or recognized when incurred. The consolidated financials include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kisses from Italy 9^th LLC, Kisses from Italy-Franchising LLC; and its 70% owned subsidiary, Kisses-Palm Sea Royal LLC.

All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2019 we had an operating loss of $3,082,860. As of December 31, 2019 we had a working capital deficit of $181,492 and a retained earnings deficit of $5,207,491.

Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. Historically, the Company has raised capital through private placements, as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or other securities and obtaining some short-term loans. The Company will be required to continue to so until its consolidated operations become profitable. Also, the Company has, in the past, paid for consulting services with its common stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice where feasible.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

F-6

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and reporting currency of the company’s Bari location in Italy is the Euro. Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurred.

For the approximate two month period ended December 31, 2019 when Bari began operation, the difference in the exchange rate and the average monthly rate was not material.

Revenue Recognition

Sales, as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings, represents food and beverage product sold and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the consolidated financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606 compared to Topic 605.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest represents third-party ownership in the net assets of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority-owned subsidiary consolidated with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with any third-party investor’s interest shown as non-controlling interest.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company cash equivalents totaled $26,841 and $22,877 respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value. During 2018 the Company closed one of its locations and removed all property and detachable leaseholds. The Company believes that this equipment and leaseholds which are in excellent condition can be used at existing and new locations and that the undepreciated book value is equivalent to its fair market value, thus no impairment was recorded. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

F-7

Computers, software, and office equipment	1 – 6 years
Machinery and equipment	3 – 5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, 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. Under FASB ASC 740, 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. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

Leases

The Company currently follows the guidance in ASC 840 “Leases,” which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements the Company enters into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.

ASC 842 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard, we expect the adoption of this guidance will have not have any impact on our financial statements.

Valued Added Tax (“VAT”)

The VAT is a broadly-based consumption tax which is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The Value Added Tax (“VAT”), applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the European Union. In Italy where the Company operates, the VAT tax ranges between 4 and 10% for food products and alcohol. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a VAT net receivable from is new Bari location which opened in 2019, amounting to $4,442. The VAT tax amounted to $-0- as of December 31, 2018 because the Company had no foreign locations subject to VAT tax.

F-8

Inventory

The inventory is comprised of alcoholic beverages at our new Bari location in Italy which opened in 2019. Our US locations do not have liquor licenses. The balance of inventory at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1,987 and $-0- respectively.

Net Loss per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

NOTE 4 – ACCRUED AND OTHER LIABILITIES

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s accrued liabilities at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Sales tax payable	$	7,630	$	12,605
Accrued interest payable		2,940		21,728
Accrued rent		–		12,114
Payroll tax liabilities		132,706		109,642
Accrued other		–		2,000
Total accrued liabilities	$	143,276	$	158,089

The Company is in arrears on its payroll tax payments as of December 31, 2019. Included in the “payroll tax liabilities” as of December 31, 2019, is approximately $35,209 in interest and penalties.

NOTE 5 – LOANS PAYABLE

We have one asset-based line of credit of $15,950 as of December 31, 2019. The amount of credit available to be accessed is dependent on the amount of documented credit receipts received by the Company’s restaurants. The due dates on these credit advances are typically between 90 and 180 days. The interest rate on the facility is approximately 25%, plus additional processing fees of approximately 5%.

As of December 31, 2019, and December 31 2018, loan payable balances were $6,000 and $5,643 respectively. The amount of loans outstanding was significantly reduced due to proceeds from less expensive (in terms of the interest rate) convertible debt that was applied against loan balances.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of convertible notes was $10,000 and $277,650 respectively.

In April 2018, the Company commenced a private offering of up to $700,000 in convertible debenture (the “Debentures”), to non-residents of the US. These notes accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and are only convertible until such time as the Company’s Common Stock is approved for trading, of which there is no assurance, at a conversion rate of $0.0667 per share. Interest is payable annually, on or before February 15 of each year. The Debentures mature three years after the issuance date.

Since the Company’s shares were previously sold in a private placement at a price of $0.10 per share, the difference in price is considered a beneficial conversion feature. Since the holders of the Notes have the right to convert immediately, the beneficial conversion feature of $221,843 has been immediately expensed and recorded as interest expense.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2019, convertible noteholders holding $656,195 of convertible notes along with accrued interest of $30,074 converted their notes into 10,294,285 shares of Common Stock.

Series B Stock

The Series B Stock is convertible at any time by the holder into the number of shares of common stock of the Company based on two times the price paid by the holder paid for the shares. The Board has the authorization to establish a minimum price for the price (so that if the market price of the common stock of the Company drops below the issuance price, the conversion rate will then be based on the minimum price established by the Board and not the price paid for the shares).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 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.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019, at reasonable assurance levels

We believe that our financial statements presented in this annual report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.

Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:

●	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

●

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

●	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were effective. ..

As of the date of this Report, we do not have any committees of our Board of Directors. We expect to appoint outside Directors to serve on our Board in the near future, but as of the date of this Report, we have not identified such prospective Directors. Once appointed and we become a reporting company, of which there is no assurance, we expect to form an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Corporate Governance Committee, and a Nominating Committee.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our Directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

•	Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
•	Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
•	Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities;
•	Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
•	Being subject of, or a party to, any Federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any Federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
•	Being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity, or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Director Independence

Our Board is currently composed of three members. Our Common Stock is not currently listed for trading on a national securities exchange and, as such, we are not subject to any director independence standards. No member of our Board of Directors is considered an independent director. We evaluated independence in accordance with the rules of The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., which generally provides that a director is not independent if: (i) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (ii) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (iii) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (iv) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (v) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (vi) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

Once we achieve trading status, of which there can be no assurance, we will insure that our committees, as well as our Board of Directors, complies with all the requirements of a public company under the auspices of the OTC Marketplace.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “34 Act”) requires our officers and directors and persons owning more than ten percent of the Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Additionally, Item 405 of Regulation S-K under the 34 Act requires us to identify in our Form 10-K and proxy statement those individuals for whom one of the above-referenced reports was not filed on a timely basis during the most recent year or prior years. To our best knowledge, there has been no change in the holdings of any of our affiliates and no reports were required to be filed.

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics but plans to do so in the near future.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth information concerning all cash and non-cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our executive officers.
