In its fiscal year 2021, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from a fiscal year ending on April 30 to a fiscal year ending on March 31. The Company has decided not to restate the information reported for prior accounting periods, because: (a) the Company’s business is not inherently seasonal, (b) the change in fiscal years did not materially distort comparability of the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, and (c) the cost to restate the data reported for prior periods outweighs the usefulness of such restated data.

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

During the 11-month transition period ended March 31, 2021, and the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s net loss was $1,235,021 and $3,548,007, respectively. During the 11-month transition period ended March 31, 2021, and the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash used in operating activities was $1,566,970 and $6,017,388, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents are $35,918,667. The Company anticipates continuing to use operating cash due to: (i) a sustained reduction in sales; (ii) investments in new markets, new lines of business, and new products, and (iii) costs associated with the due diligence of purchasing strategic assets and companies. The Company believes that funds from the $30 million convertible loan received from Decentralized Sharing Systems, Inc. on April 5, 2021 (see Note 4), provides the Company with sufficient liquidity to sustain the Company’s plans and operations at current levels over the next twelve months.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year data to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily consisting, as of March 31, 2021, reclassification of the liability associated with uncertain tax positions of $904,643 and, for the three months ended July 31, 2020, reclassification of the gain on employee warrants liability of $1,123,500.
Correction of Errors
In the three months ended January 31, 2021, the Company identified two errors in amounts previously reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim periods ended July 31, 2020, concerning the method used to capitalize work-in-progress for projects and errors in its stock-based compensation expense related to employment contracts.
Accordingly, in the three months ended January 31, 2021, the Company made the following corrections to previously reported amounts:
Capitalization of Costs for Ongoing Projects and Development of a New Business Brand. - In the three months ended January 31, 2021, the Company capitalized costs incurred in connection with ongoing upgrades to its information technology systems, the development of the new business brand “The Happy Co” and office renovations, in the aggregate, of $816,116. Of the amount capitalized, $58,038 (before tax) should have been capitalized in the quarter ended July 31, 2020.
Stock-based Compensation Expense - In the three months ended January 31, 2021, the Company conducted a detailed review of the terms and conditions of stock warrants awarded to its employees in connection with employment agreements. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that stock-based compensation expense reported in the quarter ended July 31, 2020, was understated, before income taxes, by $.
The impact on our previously reported Net Earnings for the affected period indicated is:

The Company has identified the impacted internal controls for both errors and has implemented additional internal controls in order to identify and mitigate in the future.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of judgment and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, if any. Matters that require the use of estimates and assumptions include: the recoverability of notes and accounts receivable, the valuation of inventory, the useful lives of fixed assets, the assessment of long-lived assets for impairment, the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations resulting from contracts with customers, allocation of the transaction price to multiple performance obligations in a sales transaction, the measurement and recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities, the valuation of stock-based compensation awards, the measurement and recognition of uncertain tax positions, and the valuation of loss contingencies, if any. Actual results may differ from these estimates in amounts that may be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are reasonable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12, among other things, (a) eliminates the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income (or a gain) from other items, (b) eliminates the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when the year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year, (c) requires than an entity recognize a franchise tax (or a similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, and (d) requires than an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation for the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective April 1, 2021, and adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Pending Adoption
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments. Among other things, under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features no longer must be separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features not required to be accounted for as derivatives, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also eliminates the use of the treasury stock method when calculating the impact of convertible instruments on diluted Earnings per Share. For the Company, the provisions of ASU 2020-06 are effective for its fiscal quarter beginning on April 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, subject to certain limitations. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – INVENTORY
Inventories consist of finished goods and promotional materials. The Company provides an allowance for any slow-moving or obsolete inventory. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, inventory consists of the following:
June 30, 2021 | March 31, 2021 | |||||||
Finished Goods | $ | 6,026,753 | $ | 2,556,368 | ||||
Allowance for inventory obsolescence | (201,392 | ) | (85,058 | ) | ||||
Inventory, net | $ | 5,825,361 | $ | 2,471,310 |
The increase in finished goods for the quarter, compared to as of March 31, 2021, is primarily due to the acquisition of product related to our South Korean operations, which stated selling product in June 2021.
We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly but reflects the potential impact of shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible preferred stock, convertible notes payable, stock warrants and other commitments to issue common stock, except where the impact would be anti-dilutive.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share also reflects an adjustment to net earnings for the potential reduction to a reporting period’s interest expense, net of applicable income tax, which would result if the Company’s convertible notes payable were converted at the beginning of such reporting period.

Regulatory Matters
In May 2021, the Company announced that it has received a notice from the pertinent licensing authority in the Republic of Korea, (“KOSSA”) that the multi-level license previously issued to the Company’s subsidiary organized in South Korea has been cancelled by KOSSA. The Company is actively reviewing all correspondence with KOSSA and investigating the facts surrounding the cancellation and reviewing its available options. As the Company announced earlier, the Company still intends to launch operations in South Korea in the foreseeable future and is working to resolve all outstanding issued raised by KOSSA.
Legal Matters in General
The Company has incurred several claims in the normal course of business. The Company believes such claims can be resolved without any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company maintains certain liability insurance. However, certain costs of defending lawsuits are not covered by or only partially covered by its insurance policies, including claims that are below insurance deductibles. Additionally, insurance carriers could refuse to cover certain claims, in whole or in part. The Company accrues costs to defend itself from litigation as they are incurred.
The outcome of litigation is uncertain, and despite management’s view of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of the Company’s estimates and reserves, the Company’s financial statements could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from current legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable, and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated. No provision for legal matters was deemed necessary at June 30, 2021.2022.
Legal Proceedings

Industry and Business Trends
The information in “Industry and Business Trends” included in ITEM 1 — “Business” in our TransitionAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021,2022, is incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, this discussion and analysis relates to results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (91 days) compared to the three months ended July 31, 2020 (92 days).

This growth strategy may also include the use of strategic acquisitions of businesses that augment the Company’s product and services portfolio, business competencies and geographic reach.
SignificantContinuing Uncertainty Regarding the Potential ImpactRecent COVID Pandemic
In 2020, in response to the COVID pandemic, governments in the countries where our products are sold mandated or recommended various containment measures, including selective business closures, social distancing, quarantine, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place directives, and limitations on, or cancellations of, Ongoing COVID Health Crisislarger meetings and other public events. We believe that the actual impact of the health crisis, and/or actions taken to contain the spread of the virus, have had and continue to have an adverse impact on the economies in the geographies we serve. Consumer demand for discretionary products such as ours is sensitive to significant downturns in the economy, increases in unemployment or decreases in perceived employment security, and decreases in consumer sentiment in general.
In efforts to protect our customers, distributors, employees, and other business partners, in 2020, we instituted several preventive measures, including temporarily transitioning a significant number of our corporate employees to working remotely, increasing efforts to clean and sanitize our business facilities, increasing employee safety communication, and transitioning our sales conventions to a virtual convention platform. Some ofWhile these temporary measures have increased our already significant reliance on telephone and computer systems and on the availability of continued and impeded access to the Internet by our business. The timing when these temporary measures will beare increasingly being eased or fully reversed altogether is contingent on the success of current efforts, by governmental policy makers, health service providers, and others, to contain the pandemic. Atat the time of this Quarterly Report, we cannot project with certainty the timing and extend of any potential easing or reversal ofbelieve these necessary, temporary measurements are likely to have had an adverse impact on our temporary preventive measures.business.

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

Net Sales
The Company recently changed its fiscal year, from a fiscal year ending on April 30 to a fiscal year ending on March 31. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 (91-days),2022, our consolidated net sales decreased by $10.7$5.9 million, or 48.8%52.7%, to $11.2$5.3 million, compared to the three months ended July 31, 2020 (92 days).June 30, 2021. The decrease in net sales mainly reflects: (a) one less day of sales in the amount of approximately $238,000 (b) continuation of the decline in consumer orders that we experienced since the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2020, (c)(b) a decline in independent distributor orders, in the number of new independent distributors and in the number of continuing active distributors, resulting, in part, from recent product reformulations and increased competition for independent distributors, and (d)(c) the generally adverse impact on consumer buying trends resulting from the recent increase in consumer good prices and in energy costs in the U.S. and from lingering effects of the COVID global health emergency and actions taken to help mitigate the spread of the virus in the geographies in which we operate. In efforts to restore strong sales growth, in the past several months, we have developed and launched our new business brand, “The Happy CoTM,” at our Elevacity division, have accelerated our previously announced initiatives to expand our operations into additional international geographies, and have further intensified our efforts to recruit, develop and reward our distributors and our efforts to reach new consumers, including through the continued introduction of new products.
We believe there continues to be significant uncertainty about the potentially adverse impact of the current health crisis on the economies and employment markets of several countries, including the U.S. and Canada. Please see Overview - Significant Uncertainty Regarding the Potential Impact of Ongoing COVID Health Crisis above.
The $10.7$5.9 million decrease in consolidated net sales primarily reflects a decrease in number of comparable product units sold, partially offset by sales of products introduced since July 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, of approximately $3.4 million.$795,000.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income TaxesTax (Benefit) Provision
Income tax (benefit) provision include current and deferred income taxes for both our domestic and foreign operations. Income from our international operations is subject to taxation in the countries in which we operate.
We useDuring the recognition and measurement provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) to account for income taxes. The provisions of Topic 740 require a company to record a valuation allowance when the “more likely than not” criterion for realizing net deferred tax assets cannot be met. Furthermore, the weight given to the potential effect of such evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. As a result, we reviewed the operating results, as well as all positive and negative evidence related to realization of such deferred tax assets to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance in each tax jurisdiction. In evaluating the US and South Korea markets, it was determined a valuation allowance should be placed on each market as ofthree months ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We broadly define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash, from internal and external sources, to meet our obligations and commitments. We believe that, for this purpose, liquidity cannot be considered separately from capital resources.
Working Capital
Working capital (total current assets minus total current liabilities) was $35.0$2.0 million and $3.5$7.4 million as of June 30, 2021,2022, and March 31, 2021,2022, respectively,

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated investments necessary to grow our business, we believe that existing cash balances and anticipated funds from operations will likely be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements over the next 12 months.
Historical Cash Flows
Historically, our primary sources of cash have been capital transactions involving the issuance of equity securities and secured and unsecured debt (See “Recent Issuances of Equity Securities” and “Short-term Borrowings and Convertible Notes” below) and cash flows from operating activities; and our primary uses of cash have been for operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, net cash advances to related parties, and debt repayments in the ordinary course of our business.

Accordingly, this section should be read in conjunction with such Certifications.allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.Company’s Controls and Procedures. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. Any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud (if any) within the Company will behave been detected. Furthermore, because the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements and/or omissions due to error or fraud may occur undetected.
ScopeIn light of the Controls Evaluation. Form 10-K/A filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 7, 2022, for the purpose of correcting a typographical error included in its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, management determined that the Company had a significant deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting. The above-described evaluationsignificant deficiency was attributable mainly to our failure to effectively review and proofread the registration statement, detect and correct any errors before it was filed with the SEC. To address this significant deficiency, procedures have been developed and implemented by the accounting department in August 2022, to ensure the timely review, proof reading and sign-off of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of (a)all registration statements prior to their objectives and design, (b) our implementation ofsubmission to the controls and procedures and (c) the effect of the controls and procedures upon the information generated for this Quarterly Report. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that necessary corrective action, including process improvement, followed. We perform this type of evaluation on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can accompany our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K.SEC.
Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based upon the aforementioned evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. DuringExcept for the remedial actions described above, during our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
