Our Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 29, 1988 under the name Cine-Source Entertainment, Inc. On April 27, 2004, the Company changed its name to First Quantum Ventures, Inc. On April 13, 2006, the Company changed its name to First Quantum Ventures, Inc., and on May 5, 2006, the Company reincorporated in Nevada. On March 15, 2012, the Company changed its name to DiMi Telematics International, Inc.
In early 2017, our management team elected to suspend further investment and working capital on developing its then-existing technology and business prospects, turning its attention to the hemp-derived cannabidiol, or CBD, market. On March 10, 2017, the Company changed its name to Bespoke Extracts, Inc. to align the Company’s corporate identity with its new business plan.
The Company is now focused on selling its proprietary line of premium quality, all natural cannabidiol (CBD) products in the form of tinctures and capsules for the nutraceutical and veterinary markets, which it introduced in mid-2018. Produced using pure, all natural, zero-THC phytocannabinoid-rich (“PCR”) hemp-derived CBD, our products are marketed as dietary supplements and distributed through our direct-to-consumers ecommerce store, found at www.BespokeExtracts.com. In the future, we plan to also sell through select specialty retailers, pharmacies/dispensaries and care providers.

The Cannabis Market
Over 33 states have already legalized medical cannabis, and adult-use cannabis is now legal at the statewide level in 11 U.S. markets. According to Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics in their seventh edition of “State of Legal Cannabis Markets” reports, 2018 showed a growth rate of 20 percent in the global sales of cannabis in regulated markets, with sales on track to surge 36 percent to $14.9 billion in 2019 and break $40 billion by 2024. In 2018, the FDA approved GW Pharmaceutical’s Epidiolex and passed the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing industrial hemp cultivation in the United States. These decisions being made at the federal level put pharmacies and general retailers in the business of selling CBD-based products in all 50 states. In the U.S. alone, Arcview and BDS researchers noted that sales of CBD products in all channels will hit $20 billion by 2024.
CBD, one of over 80 active cannabinoid chemicals found in cannabis, is the major non-psychoactive component of the plant Cannabis sativa L.; and is proving to be an effective treatment for a number of health conditions affecting adults, children and pets. While U.S. companies cannot legally make medical claims about CBD or its uses, there are countless scientific research studies showing potential therapeutic indications for CBD, demonstrating that it works well with body cells to improve immunity and is even produced naturally in the human brain.
According to a 2013 study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, CBD benefits include acting in some experimental models as an anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antiemetic, anxiolytic and antipsychotic agent; and CBD is therefore a potential medicinal treatment for neuroinflammation, epilepsy, oxidative injury, vomiting and nausea, anxiety and schizophrenia. Moreover, there have been dozens of other peer-reviewed studies suggesting that CBD may have therapeutic value for medical indications including bipolar disorder, cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Huntington’s Disease, Crohn’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, PTSD, rheumatoid arthritis and Tourette’s Syndrome.
Due to the growing body of published research supporting the promising therapeutic benefits of CBD, the demand for CBD products has been increasing rapidly. Consequently, there has been a steady stream of new CBD products being sold online and in smoke shops, drugstore, grocery and pet care aisles. Interest in the hemp-derived compound has been further fueled by the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized domestic hemp production in December 2018, and is now impacting industries as diverse as cosmetics, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals. Mainstream retailers, including Walgreens, Sprout, CVS, Ulta Beauty, GNC Holdings and Urban Outfitters, among many others, are now offering or looking to offer CBD products to consumers.
Introductory Product Line
Generally speaking, our management believes most CBD products for oral consumption available on the market have an earthy, bitter taste that some observers suggest is reminiscent of chlorophyll. The centerpiece of our introductory retail product line is our great-tasting, flavor-infused tinctures, formulated using only premium, organic ingredients. In addition, we will also market CBD extract in capsule form. As our Company matures, we expect to expand our proprietary CBD products to include a much broader range of flavors and form factors. Launched in late summer 2018, our official market debut showcased the following introductory products:
| ● | Manuka Honey CBD Tincture: 1000 mg of all-natural, pure hemp-derived CBD extract infused with raw, organic, UMF16+ Manuka Honey – available in a 60ml tincture; | |
| ● | Lemon Lime CBD Tincture for Sport: 1500 mg of all-natural, pure hemp-derived CBD extract –available in 60ml tincture; | |
| ● | Bacon CBD Tincture for Pets: 500 mg of all-natural, smoked bacon-flavored, pure hemp-derived CBD extract – available in 2 fluid ounce tincture with convenient spray top for dosing on pet food; and | |
| ● | CBD Gelcaps: 1500 mg of all-natural, pure hemp-derived CBD extract in gelcap form – containing 30 gelcaps with 50 mg each. |

Supply, Manufacturing and Logistics
Our management believes that some companies operating in the CBD oil industry tend to emphasize sales and quantity over quality and safety. Over the past several years, the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) has issued several warning letters to firms that market unapproved new drugs that allegedly contain CBD. As part of these actions, the FDA has tested the chemical content of cannabinoid compounds in some of the products, and many were found to not contain the levels of CBD they claimed to contain – several were found to have no CBD.
All of our flavor-infused tinctures and capsules are formulated using pure, all natural, zero-THC phytocannabinoid-rich (“PCR”) hemp-derived CBD sourced from one of the largest, fully and vertically integrated producers of PCR hemp oil. All CBD isolates and oils are authenticated by an independent third party via issuance of a Certificate of Analysis (“COA”), which cannabinoid content and profile, microbiological content, heavy metal content, pesticide content, and residual solvent content. We recognize the importance of compliance and is partnered with one of the industry’s leading CGMP certified extraction facilities. This ensures the consistency and quality of our product line and brand.
Through its proprietary engineering process, our American-based supplier isolates and removes any unwanted compounds – while creating the maximum potency level of phytocannabinoids and terpenes – cold, enclosed and continuous manufacturing processes prevents the degradation of natural molecules during extraction and purification. Made and derived from non-GMO, USA-grown hemp, its PCR hemp oil and isolate powder are subjected to a rigorous testing system – both in-house and verified through independent, third party labs – which ensures accurate levels of phytocannabinoids and confirms the absence of THC. Our products contain only the highest level of naturally derived CBD, more than 99.5% pure, and never contain any THC.
We believe that a key differentiator of our finished products is the superb quality of ingredients we source from the industry’s leading suppliers, each of whom we have carefully vetted and qualified.
For instance, raw Mānuka honey used in our products is imported directly from the north island of New Zealand from a supplier which has been supplying quality bee products since 1974. Mānuka honey is believed to be one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world and may carry the industry’s highest UMF®16+ rating, distinguishing it as superior high-grade Manuka. Produced by bees that pollinate the native Manuka bush, possible Mānuka honey uses range from healing sore throats and digestive illnesses to curing Staph infections and gingivitis. All other flavorings infused in our products – including our all-natural, organic lemon lime flavor used in our Bespoke Sport offering -- are also sourced from reputable suppliers.
Fulfillment of orders from our online customers is managed by a well-established third-party logistics partner.
Sales and Marketing
We currently sell our products through our website.
Management believes that the traditional retail environment is currently experiencing notable economic instability due largely to the global shift in consumer purchasing behaviors – with online shopping/ecommerce sites rapidly overtaking brick-and-mortar stores as consumer preferred shopping venues. In view of this retailing reality, we have adopted a Direct-to-Consumer sales model that is anchored by an ecommerce website whereby we educate, sell, and ship our CBD products directly to consumers. In addition, we also plan to market our CBD products on a wholesale basis to select specialty retailers, dispensaries and physicians.
Our marketing initiatives include the use of social marketing, social influence marketing, direct response marketing, inbound marketing, email marketing, Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) and content marketing, among other proven strategies to generate and convert sales prospects into loyal, satisfied customers. We will also explore utilizing coupon and deal sites to drive traffic to our website and retailers, as well as participate in select industry conferences to promote our brand and build greater awareness of our products among prospective business partners and consumers.

The Difference Between Hemp and Marijuana
Both marijuana and hemp come from the same species of plant called “Cannabis Sativa L.” However, cultivators of the cannabis plant have manipulated it over the years to encourage specific traits to become dominant. Cannabis plants contain unique compounds called cannabinoids. Current research has revealed over 80 different cannabinoids thus far, but management believes THC is the most well-known and is credited with causing the marijuana high. While marijuana plants contain high levels of THC, hemp contains very little of the psychoactive chemical. The foregoing is one of the differences which distinguishes hemp from marijuana.
Hemp was originally cultivated nearly 10,000 years ago in what is modern day Taiwan. Ancient cultivators of the cannabis plant recognized that it was dioecious, meaning that it had dual characteristics. Cultivators grew one variety of the cannabis plant to be tall and durable. This became what we now call industrial hemp. Upon discovering that the flower buds of the cannabis plant had psychoactive effects, cultivators began separating the hemp plants from the flowering plants in order to isolate their “medicinal” characteristics.
Scientifically, we now know that industrial hemp plants tend to produce high levels of the cannabinoid CBD, while producing low amounts of THC. Conversely, the marijuana plant produces high THC levels and low CBD levels. This chemical difference dictates the way we use the cannabis plant for medicinal and dietary supplemental purposes.
Federal Legislative Overview
Cannabidiol, or CBD, that is derived from industrial hemp plants — like the CBD used in all products currently being produced or to be produced by Bespoke Extracts — is deemed by the FDA to be a dietary supplement, not a medication. Consequently, in the U.S., no prescription is required to obtain CBD and it can be legally purchased and consumed in all 50 states (and in 40 countries around the world).
In December 2018 with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp is now recognized as an agricultural commodity, such as corn, wheat or soybeans. Historically, hemp was an underpinning of American agriculture from the 17th century through the early 1900’s. This recent change in modern policy is expected to restore the legacy of American hemp production as a prolific and highly sustainable crop staple. In fact, according to research firm Frontier Data’s Global State of Hemp: 2019 Industry Outlook, 2018 sales of hemp worldwide were driven by continued strength in Chinese textiles, European industrials, Canadian foods and the U.S. hemp-derived CBD market. However, continued demand in the CBD market “will be the main driving force behind the global hemp market’s continued growth,” which the firm estimates will reach $5.7 billion by 2020.

Competitive Overview
Given the rapid growth of the U.S. CBD oil industry, hundreds of companies have entered the market. Consequently, the market is becoming highly competitive and we believe to compete in the market requires ensuring the quality and integrity of product offerings. Certain of our competitors have substantially greater financial, distribution, and marketing resources, as well as greater brand awareness than us, and there can be no assurance we will be able to successfully compete.
Our Headquarters
Our corporate headquarters is located at 323 Sunny Isles Boulevard, Suite 700, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160. Our Internet website is www.BespokeExracts.com. The contents of the website are not part of this report.
Employees
As of the date of the filing of this report, we have 1 full-time employee.
An investment in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase the Company’s common stock, an investor should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this report before making a decision to purchase the Company’s securities. An investor should only consider purchasing the Company’s securities if he or she can afford to suffer the loss of his or her entire investment.
Risk Related to our Business
We have a history of operating losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
As of August 31, 2019, we have an accumulated deficit of $14,135,883 and a stockholders’ deficit of $31,632. We may never achieve profitability or generate significant revenues.
We will need to raise additional capital, which may not available.
We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital to execute our business plan and maintain and expand our operations. Additional capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may be harmed and we may need to curtail or cease operations.
5
We have a limited operating history that impedes our ability to evaluate our potential future performance and strategy.
We began sales of our products in mid-2018. Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on estimates of our future performance. To address these risks and uncertainties, we must do the following:
| ● | Successfully execute our business strategy to establish the “Bespoke Extracts” brand and reputation as a well-managed enterprise committed to delivering premium quality and cost-effective CBD products to the nutraceutical and veterinary markets; | |
| ● | Respond to competitive developments; | |
| ● | Execute value-focused pricing strategies that position our tinctures and gelcaps as premium, great tasting, all-natural CBD products offered at a competitive price; | |
| ● | Effectively and efficiently market and sell our introductory line of CBD products through the development of multi-channel distribution strategies focused on direct-to-consumer and distribution through wholesale venues including specialty retailers, pharmacies, dispensaries and physician’s and veterinarian offices; | |
| ● | Attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel. |
Our business strategy may not be successful and we may not successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly based on customer acceptance of our products. As a result our period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are unlikely to provide a good indication of our future performance.
Management expects that we will experience substantial variations in our net sales and operating results from quarter to quarter due to customer acceptance of our products. If customers do not accept our products, our sales and revenue will either fail to materialize or decline, resulting in a reduction in our operating income or possible increase in losses.
If we do not successfully develop additional products and services, or if such products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we could lose revenue opportunities.
Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our product offerings. To that end we have engaged in the process of identifying new product opportunities to provide additional products and related services to our customers. The processes of identifying and commercializing new products is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and preferences, our business could be harmed. We have already and may have to continue to commit significant resources to commercializing new products before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully on commercializing those products because of errors in product planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, or a lack of appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and a reduction in net sales and earnings.
The success of new products will depend on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely completion, and introduction of these products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify additional new product opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
6
We may have difficulties managing our Company’s growth, which could lead to higher operating losses, or we may not grow at all.
If we succeed in growing our business, such growth could strain our human and capital resources, potentially leading to higher operating losses. Our ability to manage operations and control growth will be dependent upon our ability to raise and spend capital to successfully attract, train, motivate, retain and manage new employees and continue to update and improve our management and operational systems, infrastructure and other resources, financial and management controls, and reporting systems and procedures. Should we be unsuccessful in accomplishing any of these essential aspects of our growth in an efficient and timely manner, then management may receive inadequate information necessary to manage our operations, possibly causing additional expenditures and inefficient use of existing human and capital resources or we otherwise may be forced to grow at a slower pace that could slow or eliminate our ability to achieve and sustain profitability. Such slower than expected growth may require us to restrict or cease our operations and go out of business.
Loss of our chief executive officer could limit our growth and negatively impact our operations.
We depend upon our president and chief executive officer, Niquana Noel, to a substantial extent. The loss of Ms. Noel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We will be required to attract and retain top quality talent to compete in the marketplace.
We believe our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, product development, sales and marketing, and finance personnel. We may not succeed in attracting and retaining such personnel. Shortages in qualified personnel could limit our ability to increase sales of existing products and services and launch new product and service offerings.
Our inability to effectively protect our intellectual property would adversely affect our ability to compete effectively, our revenue, our financial condition, and our results of operations.
We may be unable to obtain intellectual property rights to effectively protect our branding, products, and other intangible assets. Our ability to compete effectively may be affected by the nature and breadth of our intellectual property rights. While we intend to defend against any threats to our intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that any such actions will adequately protect our interests. If we are unable to secure intellectual property rights to effectively protect our branding, products, and other intangible assets, our revenue and earnings, financial condition, or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors, which may give them an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.
We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we compete with various other nutraceutical companies which offer products similar to the products we sell. These competitors may have far greater resources than we do, giving our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products obsolete. While we believe we are better equipped to customize products for the cannabis market and advise growers on appropriate products to maximize crop yield as compared to traditional nutraceuticals, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other manufacturers.
7
U.S. federal, state and foreign regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of marijuana laws and regulations and may negatively impact our business.
Currently, 33 states and the District of Columbia permit some form of whole-plant cannabis use and cultivation either for medical or recreational use. During the midterm elections in November 2018, two more states voted to legalize medical marijuana use (Missouri and Utah) while one more voted to legalize recreational use (Michigan). Forty-seven states allow or are considering legislation to allow the possession and use of non-psychoactive CBD oil for some medical conditions only. There are efforts in many other states to begin permitting cannabis use and/or cultivation in various contexts, and it has been reported that eleven states are actively considering bills to permit recreational use or to decriminalize the use of marijuana. Nevertheless, the federal government continues to prohibit cannabis in all its forms as well as its derivatives. Under the federal Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”), the policy and regulations of the federal government and its agencies is that cannabis has no medical benefit, and a range of activities including cultivation and use of cannabis is prohibited. Until Congress amends the CSA or the executive branch deschedules or reschedules cannabis under it, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. Enforcement of the CSA by federal authorities could impair the Company’s business; and could even force the Company to cease operating entirely in the cannabis industry. The risk of strict federal enforcement of the CSA in light of congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy, including enforcement priorities, remains uncertain.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
There is a limited trading market for our common stock, and investors may find it difficult to buy and sell our shares.
Our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange. Accordingly, investors may find it more difficult to buy and sell our shares than if our common stock was traded on an exchange. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, it is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market which provides significantly less liquidity than the Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchange. Further, prior to July 2018 there was minimal reported trading in our common stock, and any significant trading volume in our common stock may not be sustained. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock is, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
| ● | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| ● | announcements that our revenue or income are below analysts’ expectations; |
| ● | general economic slowdowns; |
| ● | sales of large blocks of our common stock; and |
| ● | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments. |
Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to buy or sell.
Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock are subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we currently anticipate that we will retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. A lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in the Company.
8
Our
chief executive officer owns the majority of the voting power of our shareholders.
As the holder of our outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, our chief executive officer, Niquana Noel has 51% of the voting power of the Company’s shareholders. As a result, Ms. Noel has the ability to control all matters submitted to shareholders, and her interests may differ from those of other shareholders.
Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.
Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital and personnel, we anticipate that will need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, which may include including convertible notes, preferred stock, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then-current stockholders.
The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.
Our board of directors has the right, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, and could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible negative impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Failure to achieve and maintain internal controls in accordance with Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
Our management has determined that we have not effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2019. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in the prevention of financial fraud. If we cannot produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and there could be a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not required for a smaller reporting company.
We maintain our principal office at 323 Sunny Isles Boulevard, Suite 700, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Our monthly rent is $116 under a lease that terminates in June 2020. We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements.
We are not party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material legal proceedings.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.

Stock based compensation expense for the year ended August 31, 2019 was $(1,403,625) which was due to a decrease in stock price used in the fair value re-measurement of warrants and options and $(2,440,768) which was a result of a reduction in expense from forfeited common shares Stock based compensation which is primarily comprised of the expense for warrants issued to our former Presidents and Chief Executive Officers, was included in selling, general and administrative, and totaled $6,508,991 for the year ended August 31, 2018. Payroll expense amounted to $0 and $24,389 respectively for the year ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the year ended August 31, 2019, our chief executive officer’s compensation was recorded as consulting expense. Professional fees amounted to $200,720 and $132,342, respectively for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018. The increase in expenses was due to increased legal and professional fees. Consulting expense amounted to $283,150 and $185,523 respectively for the year ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily due to branding and marketing and investor relations performed by consultants hired during the year ended August 31, 2019. Amortization expense for the year ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3,345 and $3,346, respectively. Amortization expense is in relation to a URL purchase and the prior year’s amortization is the expensing of intellectual property.
11
Financing Common Share Expense
Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into on June 6, 2018, the Company was obligated to issue additional shares of common stock if the Company sold common stock at a price lower than $0.10 per share (or common stock equivalents with an exercise price less than $0.10 per share) during the six-month period following the closing of the purchase agreement, in which event the Company was required to issue additional shares to the purchaser for no additional consideration, such that the total number of common stock received by the purchaser would be equal to $50,000 divided by the lower financing price. As of August 31, 2019, the Company was obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $76,000, which is included in the common stock payable in the accompanying balance sheet.
Interest Expense
Interest expense on promissory notes for the year ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 was $357,473 and $419,000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was due to the amortization expense for the warrants and beneficial conversion associated with those notes that had been converted to common stock or fully amortized.
Net Income / (Loss)
For the reasons stated above, our net income for the year ended August 31, 2019 totaled $2,580,761, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss for the year ended August 31, 2018 of ($7,609,558), or ($0.21) per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of August 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10,343. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended August 31, 2019 was $492,691. Our current liabilities as of August 31, 2019 totaled $111,056 and consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $111,006 and a note payable to a related party of $50. As of August 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $79,784. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended August 31, 2018 was $747,688. Our current liabilities as of August 31, 2018 totaled $566,174 consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $105,424, and convertible note payables-net, unamortized discounts of $460,700. The decrease in current liabilities was due to the conversion of convertible note payables and accrued interest into common stock.
During the year ended August 31, 2019, the Company raised $421,250 from the sale of common stock compared to $460,300 for the year ended August 31, 2018. During the year ended August 31, 2018, the Company received a total of $220,000, net of original issue discounts from a related party of convertible loans as compared to none during the comparable year ended 2019.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming a continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had negative cash flows from operations for the year ended August 31, 2019 and had a working capital deficit at August 31, 2019. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Our primary source of capital has been from the sale of equity securities. Our primary use of capital has been for professional fees and general and administrative costs. We have no committed sources of capital and will need to raise additional capital to continue and expand our operations. Additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
12
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders’ of:
Bespoke Extracts, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bespoke Extracts, Inc. (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year 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 August 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, The Company has negative cash flows from operations, a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit for the year ended and as of August 31, 2019. 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 described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audits. 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 audits 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 controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits 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 audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of August 31, 2019 and 2018
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Business Operations
Bespoke Extracts, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation focused on marketing and selling a proprietary line of premium, quality, all natural CBD products in the forms of tinctures, capsules, drops and edibles for the nutraceutical and veterinary markets, which it introduced in mid-2018. Produced using pure, all natural, zero-THC phytocannabinoid-rich (“PCR”) hemp-derived isolate, the Company markets its products as dietary supplements through its retail ecommerce store found at www.bespokeextracts.com. In the future, the Company also intends to sell its products through wholesale channels.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming a continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had negative cash flows from operations, a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit for the year ended and as of August 31, 2019. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
F-8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At August 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable to stockholder approximate their fair values as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because of their short-term natures.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense.
The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 30 or net 60 days. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out basis and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as sales price less cost of completion, disposable and transportation and a normal profit margin. As of August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, inventory amounted to $3,171 and $61,857, respectively, which consisted of finished goods. During the year ended August 31, 2019 the Company reserved $52,332 for slow moving inventory.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by discounts and estimates for credits and returns (calculated based upon previous experience and management’s evaluation).

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topic 606 which was adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the effect was immaterial. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of operations during the year ended August 31, 2018.
Stock Option Plans
Stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with, and FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, including related amendments and interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services are provided. Stock option compensation expense has been recognized as a component general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018.
Net Income / Loss per Share
Basic income / loss per share amounts are computed based on net income / loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt were excluded from the calculation of diluted income / loss per share during the years ended August 31, 2019 an August 31, 2018 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The effect of 3,330,000 warrants and 1,200,000 options is anti-dilutive for the year ended August 31, 2019. The effect of 2,830,000 warrants and 1,200,000 options is anti-dilutive for the year ended August 31, 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The adoption of ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on our balance sheet, results of operations or balance sheets as we currently do not have any long term corporate office and equipment leases.

8. INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 (though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely); modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits, including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan drugs”; and repeal of the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”).
The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the TCJA, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
F-19
FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a full valuation allowance of $842,165 and $597,359 against its net deferred taxes is necessary as of August 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
At August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively, the Company had approximately $3,156,000 and $2,844,000, respectively, of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards remaining, which expire beginning in 2026 and $655,000 that can be carried forward indefinitely.
As a result of certain ownership changes, the Company may be subject to an annual limitation on the utilization of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A study to determine the effect, if any, of this change, has not been undertaken.
Tax returns for the years ended August 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
A reconciliation of the Company’s income taxes to amounts calculated at the federal statutory rate is as follows for the years ended August 31:
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||||
| Federal and state statutory taxes | (25.00 | )% | (35.00 | )% | ||||
| Change in tax rate estimate | - | % | 14.00 | % | ||||
| Permanent differences | 20.00 | % | - | |||||
| Change in valuation allowance | 5.00 | % | 21.00 | % | ||||
| - | % | - | % | |||||
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of August 31, 2019 and 2018 was $842,165 and $597,359 respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of August 31, 2019 and 2018 and recorded a full valuation allowance.
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at August 31:
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Inventory impairment | 13,264 | - | ||||||
| Net operating loss | 828,901 | 597,359 | ||||||

A reconciliation of the expected income tax benefit at the U.S. Federal income tax rate to the income tax benefit actually recognized for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 is set forth below:

| Net (loss) / income | 654,094 | (2,663,345 | ) | |||||

| Change in valuation allowance | 179,325 | (136,932 | ) | |||||
| Benefit from income taxes | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
As a result of certain ownership changes, the Company may be subject to an annual limitation on the utilization of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A study to determine the effect, if any, of this change, has not been undertaken.
9. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
There are concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables due to the amounts owed by one customer at August 31, 2019 whose balance represented approximately 28%, of total accounts receivables. During the year ended August 31, 2019 no individual customer amounted to over 10% of total sales. During the year ended August 31, 2018 sales to one customer, who is the spouse of one of the Company’s significant shareholders, amounted to 24% of sales. The loss of business from one or a combination of the Company’s significant customers, or an unexpected deterioration in their financial condition, could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 3, 2019, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Niquana Noel, the Company’s chief executive officer. Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Noel exchanged $24,000 in accrued but unpaid compensation owed to her by the Company for one share of newly created Series B Preferred Stock of the Company.
In connection with the letter agreement, on October 3, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company designated one share of its preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $24,000 and entitles the holder to 51% of the total voting power of the Company’s stockholders. The Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at any time for a redemption price equal to the stated value. The Series B Preferred does not provide the holder with any dividend rights or any liquidation rights, and is not convertible to common stock.
On October 14, 2019, the Company entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the investor 20,833,333 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $125,000.
In November 2019, 3,000,000 shares of common stock were returned to the Company for cancellation and the Company paid $27,500 in connection with a settlement agreement.
On November 6, 2019, the Company entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which, the Company issued and sold to the investor an original issue discount convertible debenture (which was amended and restated on November 11, 2019) in the principal amount of $200,000, for a purchase price of $100,000. The Company also issued to the investor 4,900,000 shares of common stock. As amended, the debenture matures on August 1, 2020 and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.006, provided that, if the Company fails to repay the debenture upon maturity, the conversion price will be reduced to $0.001 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions) and the debenture will bear interest at the rate of 9% per year. The debenture may not be converted to common stock to the extent such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company’s obligation to repay the debenture upon maturity is secured by a security interest in the Company’s URLs pursuant to a security agreement between the Company and the investor.
Effective November 11, 2019, the Company issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a consulting agreement (see Note 5).

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the following material weaknesses:

Management’s 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) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
14
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2019 based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013).
A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In conducting her evaluation, our officer noted the following material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting:
| ● | While certain accounting procedures have been adopted, compliance with such procedures has been inconsistent. | |
| ● | The board of directors has not established an Audit Committee. Accordingly, the entire board, rather than an independent body, has reviewed our financial statements. | |
| ● | Segregation procedures could be improved by strengthening cross approval of various functions, including cash disbursements and internal audit procedures where appropriate. |
As a result of these deficiencies in our internal controls, our officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(t) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (“Section 16 Reports”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Based solely on its review of the copies of such Section 16 Reports received by the Company, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s Reporting Persons during and with respect to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 have been complied with on a timely basis, except that a Form 3 was not filed by McGlothlin Holdings, Ltd.
Board Committees
We have not established any committees of the board of directors due to the small size of the Company and the board. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we do not have the resources to retain one.
Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight
Niquana Noel is presently the only board member.
Our board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding the Company’s assessment of risks. The board focuses on the most significant risks facing the Company and the Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by the Company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees the Company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach. Ms. Noel’s operational experience qualifies her to serve on our board of directors.

Stockholders may send communications to our board of directors by writing to Bespoke Extracts, Inc., 323 Sunny Isles Blvd., Suite 700, Sunny Isles, Florida, 33160, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

As of the date of the filing of this report, the Company has 1 outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, which entitles the holder to 51% of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company designated one share of its preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at any time for a redemption price equal to the stated value. The Series B Preferred does not provide the holder with any dividend rights or any liquidation rights, and is not convertible to common stock.

The Company also issued to the investor 4,900,000 shares of common stock. As amended, the debenture matures on August 1, 2020 and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.006, provided that, if the Company fails to repay the debenture upon maturity, the conversion price will be reduced to $0.001 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions) and the debenture will bear interest at the rate of 9% per year. The debenture may not be converted to common stock to the extent such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company's obligation to repay the debenture upon maturity is secured by a security interest in the Company's URLs pursuant to a security agreement between the Company and the investor.
Effective November 11, 2019, the Company issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a consulting agreement (see Note 5). |
