Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Better For You Wellness, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was originally incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020.
On April 26, 2021, the Company entered into an “Agreement and Plan of Merger”, whereas it agreed to, and subsequently participated in, a Nevada holding company reorganization pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS 92A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250 (“Reorganization”). The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were Sauer Energy, Inc. (“SENY” or “Predecessor”), Fast Track Solutions, Inc. (“Successor”), and Fast Track Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Our former director, Jeffrey DeNunzio, was the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation in the Reorganization.
Fast Track Solutions, Inc. issued
Pursuant to the above, on April 26, 2021, Sauer Energy, Inc. filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger became effective on May 5, 2021, at 4:00 PM EST (“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, Predecessor was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger), and Predecessor became the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Fast Track Solutions, Inc.’s (“Successors”) common stock.
Fast Track Solutions, Inc., as successor issuer to Sauer Energy, Inc., continued to trade in the OTC MarketPlace under the previous ticker symbol “SENY” until the new ticker symbol “FTRK” for the Company was released into the OTC MarketPlace on May 6, 2021. The Company was given a new CUSIP Number by CUSIP Global Services for its common stock of 31188W108.
The Company believes that the Reorganization, deemed effective on May 5, 2021, was not a transaction of the type described in subparagraph (a) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 and the consummation of the Reorganization will not be deemed to involve an “offer”, “offer to sell”, “offer for sale” or “sale” within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Reorganization was consummated without the vote or consent of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the provisions of NRS 92A.180 did not provide a stockholder of the Company with appraisal rights in connection with the Reorganization. The Company believes that in the absence of any right of any of the Company’s stockholders to vote with respect to the Reorganization or to insist that their shares be purchased for fair value, the Reorganization could not be deemed to involve an “offer” “offer to sell”; or “sale” within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.”
On May 5, 2021, after the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, we canceled all of the stock we held in Sauer Energy, Inc., resulting in Sauer Energy, Inc. as a stand-alone company. Pursuant to the holding company merger agreement and effects of merger, all of the assets and liabilities, if any, remain with Sauer Energy, Inc. after the Reorganization. Jeffrey DeNunzio, the Director of Sauer Energy, Inc., did not discover any assets of Sauer Energy, Inc. from the time he was appointed Director until the completion of the Reorganization and subsequent separation of Sauer Energy, Inc. as a stand-alone company.
Given that the former business plan and objectives of Sauer Energy, Inc. and the business plan and objectives of Fast Track Solutions, Inc. substantially differed from one another, we conducted the corporate separation with Sauer Energy, Inc. immediately after the effective time of the Reorganization in order to avoid any shareholder confusion. The former business plan of Sauer Energy, Inc. (the development and marketing of wind powered electric generators) under the leadership of its former directors, did not, in any way, represent the blank check business plan of Fast Track Solutions, Inc. at that time, and thus it is the belief of the Company that the corporate separation ameliorated shareholder confusion about our identity and/or corporate objectives. It is our belief that Sauer Energy was a shell company at the time of the Reorganization.
5
The corporate actions taken by the Company, including, but not limited to, the corporate structuring of the transactions, was deemed, in the discretion of our sole director, to be for the benefit of the corporation and its shareholders. Former shareholders of Sauer Energy, Inc. were then the shareholders of Fast Track Solutions, Inc. and had the opportunity to benefit from a business combination with another company. The Company intended to serve as a vehicle to affect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business at that time
After the reorganization and through July 18,
2021, CRS Consulting, LLC, a Wyoming LLC owned and controlled by Jeffrey DeNunzio, Thomas DeNunzio and Paul Moody, was our controlling
shareholder, owning
On July 19, 2021, Better For You Wellness, Inc.,

LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company (“GOHV”), Ian James, and Stephen Letourneau, pursuant to which, on July 30, 2021 (“Closing
Date”), CRS sold
On August 19, 2021, the Company filed an 8-K with the SEC to disclose an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation that the Company filed on August 18, 2021, with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name to Better For You Wellness, Inc. Within the aforementioned 8-K, the Company disclosed that, at the time, it was pending a FINRA corporate action to affect the name change on the OTC to Better For You Wellness, Inc., and also a ticker symbol change. FINRA announced, on their September 29, 2021 daily list, that the market effective date of our name change, and ticker symbol change, will be September 30, 2021. On September 30, 2021, we will begin trading under the symbol BFYW. The new CUSIP number associated with our common stock, as of the market effective date of September 30, 2021, is 08771B105.
On August 24, 2021, Green Ohio Ventures, LLC transferred
From August 24, 2021 to August 25, 2021, Green
Ohio Ventures, LLC distributed, at no cost and in various quantities, a total of
On February 3. 2022, the Company was approved by OTC Markets to up-list its common stock from the OTC Pink Sheets to the OTCQB® Venture Market (the “OTCQB”). The Company began trading of its common shares on the OTCQB as of the market open on February 3, 2022, under its same symbol, “BFYW.”
The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various opportunities in the plant-based food and beverage and consumer packaged goods sectors, including but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, or business combination transactions, after which the Company would cease to be a “shell” or “blank check” company. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings.

On November 15, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Glow Market, LLC was formed in the State of Ohio. Subsequently, Glow Market, LLC launched its first brand, Better Suds, an online retailer of specialty all-natural, cruelty-free, gluten-free and chemical-free soaps. Better Suds commenced operations in December 2021.
On April 29, 2022 the Company entered into a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) with Amanda Cayemitte and Yapo M’be (referred to together as the “Sellers”)
to acquire the right, title and interest in, including all of the outstanding membership interests (referred to together as the “MM
Interests”) of Mango Moi, LLC (“Mango Moi”). Mango Moi is a hair and skincare business located in Chicago, Illinois.
Pursuant to the MIPA, in exchange for the MM Interests, the Company agreed to pay the Sellers a purchase price consisting of shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $
The MIPA closed (the “Closing”) on May 26, 2022, on which date the Company paid the Sellers the Purchase Price by issuing the Company Common Stock to the Sellers and the Sellers transferred the MM Interests to the Company, and on which date Mango Moi became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the Closing the Company entered into the Employment Agreement with Amanda Cayemitte and the Consulting Agreement with Yapo M’be.
The Company intends to optimize Mango Moi’s product formulae and packaging, as well as secure new manufacturing relationships to scale production capacity. Additionally, the Company plans to expand Mango Moi’s product offerings to include additional products and product bundles. Furthermore, the Company intends to grow sales through direct-to-consumer marketing efforts, subscription box sales, and pursuing wholesale sales relationships.
The Company’s main office is located at 1349 East Broad Street, Columbus OH 43205.
The Company has elected February 28th as its year end.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Glow Markets, LLC and Mango Moi, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 2022
and February 28, 2022 were $
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue for products is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer and the customer completes the product inspection. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of August 31, 2022 and February 28, 2022, the Company had no deferred revenues.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at August 31, 2022.
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
The Company did not have any dilutive instruments for the three and six months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
8
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
- Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
During the six month period ended August 31, 2022, Green Ohio Ventures,
LLC, paid expenses on behalf of the Company totaling approximately $
These payments are considered as loans to the Company, which are noninterest-bearing, unsecured and payable on demand.
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
9
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
The Company’s stock-based compensation for
the three months ended August 31, 2022 and, 2021 was $
Note 3 - Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
The Company has not established enough sources of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party capital contributions. There is no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Income Taxes
The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating
losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the period
presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses, the realization
of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized
when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. As of August 31, 2022, the Company has incurred a net
loss of approximately $
10
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of August 31, 2022 other than the following:
On September 17, 2021, our Board of Directors
unanimously approved to enter into and consummate an agreement with SRAX, Inc., a Delaware Company (“SRAX”). Pursuant to the

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.”
These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Company Overview
Business Overview
We are a sustainable brands and services company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. We are evaluating opportunities targeting six goals-based wellness categories within the rapidly growing wellness industry to create a leading global wellness conglomerate.
Through our dual buy and build model, we evaluate the wellness industry in the following six goals-based categories:
| ● | Better Health | |
| ● | Better Fitness | |
| ● | Better Nutrition | |
| ● | Better Appearance | |
| ● | Better Sleep | |
| ● | Better Mindfulness |
As an early-stage company, our Company generated $2,881 and a $0 in revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. Our Company generated $15,968 and $0 in revenue for the six months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. Our strategy is designed to offer wellness consumers a diverse synergistic portfolio of brands and products that will allow them to live a life of intention and improve their quality of life.
We believe wellness consumers purchase with intention and specifically seek out the brands and products that improve their quality of life. Furthermore, we believe wellness consumers pursue these six goals-based dimensions of wellness and are positioning the Company to capitalize on this demand. With skin being humans’ largest organ, we have initially prioritized skincare and haircare to help wellness consumers look and feel better with clean and natural products. We intend to expand into additional wellness categories with functional foods, beverages, supplements, and more.
Our management team brings deep expertise in heavily regulated industries, operating, brand identity, genetics, and services, and raising capital to the public market. We seek synergistic and complementary mergers and acquisition opportunities, implementing operational efficiencies to eliminate duplicative measures and centralize administrative operations to achieve more significant revenues and profitability. Additionally, we expect to leverage our network of retail relationships and acquire and manage brands and services cultivated in the beauty and wellness industry to secure sales in major retailers in the United States and globally.

Our management team monitors various trends and factors that follow, which could impact our operating performance.
As an early-stage company, the Company has relatively few transactions to date.
Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Operating Performance
Our management team monitors various trends and factors that could impact our operating performance.
Revenue Strategy — Our revenue growth strategy follows a dual buy-and-build business model in which we acquire brands and related infrastructure and develop brands and related infrastructure in-house. In addition to scaling the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Glow Market LLC, which currently owns and operates our Better Suds soap brand, we have executed multiple non-binding letters of intent to acquire companies within the skincare sector, including a vertically-integrated skincare manufacturer and multiple brands. The closing of these respective transactions depends on numerous factors, including but not limited to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, capital constraints, and more. Furthermore, any of these contemplated transactions would likely have a material impact on the Company’s operating performance. On May 26, 2022, our Company closed its first acquisition of the right, title and interest in, including all of the outstanding membership interests of Mango Moi, LLC, a hair and skincare business located in Chicago, Illinois.
Market Opportunity
We aim to become a major participant in the $1.5 trillion global wellness industry. We believe our innovative wellness-related offerings converge with wellness consumer trends and demands for “Better-For-You” brands and products that can satisfy all pricing points. We expect consumer trends towards the adoption of these healthier lifestyles to continue.
Competition
We will compete with companies that operate in the plant-based and science-focused wellness market. Many of our competitors will have substantially greater financial resources, a broader market presence, longer-standing relationships with distributors, retailers, and suppliers, longer operating histories, more extensive production and distribution capabilities, robust brand recognition, and significant marketing resources, and more comprehensive product lines than us. We believe that principal competitive factors in this category include, among others, quality ingredients, wellness profile, cost, convenience, branding, and marketing.
Sales and Marketing Costs
As we continue to grow our “BFYW” product portfolio, we expect to expand our sales and marketing team by adding dedicated personnel to service additional retail customers. Outside sales representatives and brokers may be added to expand our sales efforts. We further envision engaging, developing, and possibly acquiring a subscription box retail operation. Marketing expenditures are expected to begin primarily online and in product fees (as we engage retail store expansion), as well as other similar in-store marketing costs. These expenses will be categorized as net deductions to revenue under GAAP instead of marketing expenses. We plan to hire a national marketing firm to implement digital video and display campaigns, connected television, social media, and search engine marketing. As we expand and grow revenue, we will build a brand management team (to support Management, who oversees all “BFYW” marketing efforts) to focus on digital marketing, social media, and other marketing functions.
Operating Costs
Our operating costs include raw materials, labor, related benefits, manufacturing overhead, marketing, sales, distribution, shipping, and other general and administrative expenses. We attempt to manage the impact of our operating costs through fixed hourly rate agreements with legal counsel and certain consultants.
Fluctuations in Costs
Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, transportation costs, and our productivity efforts. If we are unable to manage cost fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions, and consistent productivity improvements, it may adversely impact our gross margin, operating margin, and net earnings. Sales can also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on the consumption of our products. We strive to implement, achieve, and sustain cost improvement plans, including supply chain optimization, general overhead, workforce optimization, and outsourcing projects as deemed appropriate.
Commodities
In the future, our profitability could depend on our ability to anticipate and react to raw material costs, among other things. Raw materials can be sourced from various parts of the globe, and the prices of raw goods are subject to many factors beyond our control. These factors include variables in world economic conditions, political events, tariffs, trade wars, or other events.
20
Acquisitions
The Company follows a dual buy-and-build business model for growth through acquisitions and in-house development of brands. We have executed multiple non-binding letters of intent to acquire companies within the skincare sector including a vertically-integrated skincare manufacturer and multiple brands. The closing of these respective transactions depends on numerous factors including but not limited to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, capital constraints, and more. Furthermore, any of these contemplated transactions would likely have a material impact on the Company’s operating performance.
Strategic Advisory Committee
To assist in the expansion of the Company, management sought and received unanimous consent from the Board of Directors to create and seat a Strategic Advisory Committee composed of respected industry leaders who bring relevant experience, networks, and leadership to the Company’s various initiatives.
Discussion of Financial Statement
As an Early-Stage Company with few transactions, the Company’s expenditures were heavily Selling General, and Administrative (“SG&A”). The Company engaged Carter, Ledyard, & Milburn LLP and Anthony L.G., PLLC as legal counsel, to be consulted on a case-by-case basis as may be necessary for corporate legal services and securities counsel. Payroll expenses were the single largest category of cash expenditures for the quarter. Management expects legal costs to taper as a percentage of overall SG&A as the company grows. The Company’s SG&A further includes the cost of EDGAR and news release filing services, payroll of a single person, website development and publishing, professional services such as accounting, SRAX for regular updates of NOBO data for the shareholder lists for ongoing shareholder communications, Governmental filing fees including business licensing.
Systems and Controls
As an early-stage company, the Company has very few transactions to date. The Company’s Board of Directors comprises 6 members, 4 of which are non-executive independent directors. The Board of Directors’ reviews transactions, and the CEO signs off on transactions. The Company is developing revenue recognition processes and procedures for the business, including revenue streams, point of performance obligation discharged, etc., to comply with applicable State, Provincial, Federal, and International Laws and Regulations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Under Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Company adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue for products is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer, and the customer completes the product inspection. Cash receipts for undelivered products are recorded as deferred revenues. As of August 31, 2022, the Company had no deferred revenues.
21
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency, and other adverse key financial ratios.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
COVID-19
An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 spread globally in 2020. This outbreak resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, layoffs, defaults, and other significant economic impacts, as well as general concern and uncertainty.
The pandemic has not materially impacted our operations in 2021 or 2022 thus far.
Financial Statements and Exhibits
The Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination. The Company’s business purpose is to seek the acquisition of or merger with an existing company.
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) that is exempt from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), which eases restrictions on the sale of securities; and increases the number of shareholders a company must have before becoming subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC’s) reporting and disclosure rules (See Emerging Growth Companies Section Below).
The Company has elected February 28th as its fiscal year-end.

Revenues
The company generated $2,881 and $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, a increase of $2,881. The increase was due to the Company having sales from its Mango Moi operation. The Company’s current business plan is to explore and evaluate various business opportunities in the plant-based food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) sectors including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions, or business combination transactions.
Cost of Goods Sold
We recorded $3,489 and $0 for Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, an increase of $3,489.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
We recorded a negative $608 and $0 in Gross Profit for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, a decrease of $608. The decrease was due to declines in merchandise sales due to lack of inventory due to supply-chain issues with ingredients from the ivory coast and other regions required for Mango Moi products.
Operating Expenses
We recorded $707,475 and $14,005 in Operating Expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively.
We incurred $693,470 in higher Operating Expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2022 due to approximately $346,344 in share-based expenses, and approximately $361,131 in general and administrative expenses. The increase in general expenses and administrative expenses was due to the stock option expense for Independent Directors, recognition of deferred compensation, and increased costs due to the acquisition of Mango Moi.
Income Taxes
The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. As of August 31, 2022, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $5,043,223 resulting in a net operating loss for income tax purposes. The loss results in a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,059,077 at the effective statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset has been offset by an equal valuation allowance. Given our Company’s inception date of December 1, 2020, and our fiscal year end of February 28, 2022, we have completed only two taxable fiscal years.
23
Net (Loss) Income
We recorded a loss of $1,582,699 and $86,057 for the six months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. We recorded a higher net loss for our second quarter ended August 31, 2022, compared to the previous quarter due to an increase in Operating Expenses.
Cash flow
For the six months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, we had a negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $683,033 and $7,307, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance was $2,745 and $0 as of August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. We received $507,984 and $0 from the sale of shares of Common Stock for the six months ended August 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. We presently are largely reliant on capital contributions towards expenses from Mr. Ian James, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. However, we raised a total of $250,492 in net proceeds from Mast Hill Fund, LLC in convertible debt in the three-months ended August 31, 2022 and $3,750 from the sale of Common Shares.
Mr. Ian James has not guaranteed that he will continue to support our capital needs. Therefore, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. We may require further funding to implement our operations plan for the next twelve months. Being a start-up stage company, we have a very limited operating history. After a twelve-month period, we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until our Company raises the necessary financing or cease operations entirely.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities.
Corporate History
Better For You Wellness, Inc. (we, us, our, the “Company” or the “Registrant”), was originally incorporated with the name Fast Track Solutions, Inc. in the State of Nevada on December 1, 2020.
On January 28, 2021, as a result of an Application for Custodianship granted by the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, styled as “In the matter of Sauer Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Case Number: A-20-826848-P”, Jeffrey DeNunzio was appointed Custodian of Sauer Energy, Inc. (the “Predecessor”).
On April 26, 2021, the Company entered into an “Agreement and Plan of Merger”, whereas it agreed to, and subsequently participated in, a Nevada holding company reorganization pursuant to NRS 92A.180, NRS 92A.200, NRS 92A.230, and NRS 92A.250 (“Reorganization”). The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were Sauer Energy, Inc. (“SENY” or “Predecessor”), Fast Track Solutions, Inc. (“Successor”), and Fast Track Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Jeffrey DeNunzio was the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation in the Reorganization.
Fast Track Solutions, Inc. issued 1,000 common shares of its common stock to Predecessor, and Merger Sub issued 1,000 shares of its common stock to Fast Track Solutions, Inc. immediately prior to the Reorganization. As such, immediately prior to the merger, Fast Track Solutions, Inc. became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Sauer Energy, Inc. and Merger Sub became a wholly owned and direct subsidiary of Fast Track Solutions, Inc.
Pursuant to the above, on April 26, 2021, Sauer Energy, Inc. filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger became effective on May 5, 2021 at 4:00 PM EST (“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, Predecessor was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger), and Predecessor became the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Fast Track Solutions, Inc.’s (“Successors”) common stock.
24
Fast Track Solutions, Inc., as successor issuer to Sauer Energy, Inc., continued to trade in the OTC MarketPlace under the previous ticker symbol “SENY” until trading under the new ticker symbol ”FTRK” for the Company began on May 6, 2021. The Company was given a new CUSIP Number by CUSIP Global Services for its common stock of 31188W108.
On May 5, 2021, after the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, we canceled all of the stock we held in Sauer Energy, Inc. resulting in Sauer Energy, Inc. as a stand-alone company. Pursuant to the holding company merger agreement and effects of merger, all of the assets and liabilities, if any, remain with Sauer Energy, Inc. after the Reorganization. Jeffrey DeNunzio, the Director of Sauer Energy, Inc., did not discover any assets of Sauer Energy, Inc. from the time he was appointed Director until the completion of the Reorganization and subsequent separation of Sauer Energy, Inc. as a stand-alone company.
On July 19, 2021, Fast Track Solutions entered into a Share Purchase Agreement by and among CRS Consulting, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company (“CRS”), Green Ohio Ventures, LLC, an Ohio Limited Liability Company (“GOHV”), Ian James, and Stephen Letourneau, pursuant to which, on July 30, 2021, CRS sold 700,000 shares of the Fast Track Solutions’ Series A Preferred Stock and 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 89.62% voting control of Fast Track Solutions; 350,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were transferred to Ian James, 350,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were transferred to Stephen Letourneau, and 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock were transferred to GOHV. The aforementioned purchasers, collectively, paid consideration of three hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($335,000).

On August 31, 2022, BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether BF Borgers agrees with following statements:
| ● | The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company had conducted a competitive selection process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023. The Committee evaluated several public accounting firms in this process, including BF Borgers, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022. As a result of this process, the Committee approved the appointment of GBQ Partners LLC (“GBQ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023. This action effectively dismissed BF Borgers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of August 31, 2022. |
| ● | The reports of BF Borgers on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, and in the subsequent interim periods through August 31, 2022, there were no disagreements with BF Borgers on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused BF Borgers to make reference to the matter in their reports. There were no reportable events (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the two fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, or in the subsequent periods through August 31, 2022. |
A copy of BF Borgers’ letter, dated August 31, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2022.
During the two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim periods through August 31, 2022, the Company has not consulted with GBQ with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
On September 20, 2022, the Company entered into a Manufacturing Agreement with Ironwood Clay Company (ICCI) to develop commercially scaled Personal Care Products for Mango Moi and other products in the Company’s portfolio. The Company agreed to pay a non-refundable deposit of $10,000 USD for up to 8 Product Formula. This includes three formulation revisions and samples per Product Formula (each iteration of sampling of up to 500gr./ml.). Additional revisions to the Formula(s) will be charged to the Client at a rate of $500 USD per revision.
Once the Company has approved the final Formula(s) and places a Purchase Order exceeding $10,000 USD, the non-refundable deposit will be applied to the total amount of the Purchase Order. Upon ordering at least Twenty Five Thousand US Dollars ($25,000 USD) of each Product Formula, the exclusivity granted to ICCI herein in respect of such Product and Formula shall cease, the Company shall no longer be obligated to purchase Products from ICCI, and the Client shall be free to engage any other manufacturer for such purpose.
On September 22, 2022, the Company announced the cancellation of the Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Ironwood Clay Company (ICCI) because ICCI was unable to have its Clay Mining Operation adequately meet SEC reporting requirements related to the mining of a natural resource.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of August 31, 2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer, and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected or is reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls
Our management does not expect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures ensure our objectives are reasonably achieved. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management overriding internal controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
