FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking
statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information
so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other
written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based
on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such
statements by using words such as “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “expect”,
“estimate”, “intend”, “should”, “would”, “could”, or “may”, or
other such words, verbs in the future tense and words and phrases that convey similar meaning and uncertainty of future events or outcomes
to identify these forward–looking statements. There are a number of important factors beyond our control that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward–looking statements. While we make these forward–looking
statements based on various factors and using numerous assumptions, you have no assurance the factors and assumptions will prove to be
materially accurate when the events they anticipate actually occur in the future. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations
and financial condition to differ materially are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual
report on Form 10-K.
The forward–looking
statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time we make these statements. We caution you
not to place undue reliance on our forward–looking statements as (i) these statements are neither predictions nor guaranties of
future events or circumstances, and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations, forecasts and projections about future events may differ
materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward–looking statement to reflect developments
occurring after the date of this report.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Company Overview
InnerScope Hearing Technologies,
Inc. (“InnerScope” or the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated June 15, 2012, with its principal place
of business in Roseville, California.
On June 20, 2012, InnerScope
acquired InnerScope Advertising Agency, LLC (“ILLC”), a commonly owned entity, to provide advertising/marketing services to
the hearing device industry in accordance with an Acquisition and Plan of Share Exchange with ILLC.
On November 1, 2013, InnerScope
acquired Intela-Hear, LLC (“Intela-Hear”), a commonly owned entity, with an Acquisition and Plan of Share Exchange with Intela-Hear.
On August 25, 2017, the Company
changed its name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the Company's current direction as a hearing health technology
company that manufactures, develops, distributes, and sells numerous innovative hearing health-related products, hearing treatments, and
hearing solutions direct to consumer (DTC) with a scalable business model. The Company began offering its own line of FDA (Food and Drug
Administration) registered Hearing Aids and its “Hearable”, and “Wearable” Personal Sound Amplifier Products (PSAPs).
On July 5, 2018, the Company signed a supplier agreement as a direct shipped vendor ("DSV") for Walmart.com. The Company has
been accepted as a Walmart.com USA, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) supplier and will sell its FDA-Registered
Hearing Aids and its PSAP to Walmart.com as the retailer for their Direct-To-Consumer online retail sale.
The Company is a manufacturer and
a distributor/retailer of Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") FDA (Food and Drug Administration) registered hearing aids, personal sound
amplifier products (PSAPs), hearing-related treatment therapies, and doctor-formulated dietary hearing supplements (“Hearing Products”).
The Company's mission is to improve the quality of life of the 70 million people in North America and the 1.5 billion people worldwide
who suffer from hearing impairment and/or hearing-related issues. The management team of InnerScope is applying decades of industry experience
and believes it is well-positioned with its innovative in-store point-of-sale Free Self-Check Hearing Screening Kiosks ("Hearing
Kiosks") to directly benefit when the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aid Act (the "OTC Hearing Aid Law") (see below “Proposed
Rule for OTC Category for Hearing Aids”) becomes enacted (expected in 4th quarter of 2022) (the OTC Hearing Aid Law allows
OTC hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing losses to be sold in retail stores without a prescription or having to see a professional).
The Hearing Kiosk is designed for the tens of millions of Americans with undetected/untreated mild-to-moderate hearing losses to treat
themselves with the Company's easy, convenient, and affordable hearing products.
On September 10, 2018, the Company
acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Kathy L Amos Audiology (“Amos Audiology”) in exchange for 340,352
shares of common stock (the “Acquisition”). Amos Audiology provides retail hearing aid sales and audiological services in
the East Bay area of San Francisco.
On November 22, 2021, the Company purchased
Hearing Assist II, LLC. The Company acquired 100% interest in the entity for a total consideration of 591,209,963 common shares valued
at $8,513,423 on the day of purchase. As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed assets in the amount of $15,713,000, consisting
of trademarks, domains, customer lists, customer contracts, licenses, royalties, other contracts, and assumed liabilities in the amount
of $7,199,678.
On September 30, 2021, the Company entered
into an Asset Purchase agreement with iHear Medical, Inc. pursuant to which the Company received a number of intangible assets, equipment,
customer database and inventory for total consideration of 400,000 preferred series C shares and a $1,000,000 convertible note, where
preferred shares were valued at $666,667 on the day of purchase. As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed assets in the amount
of $1,666,667, consisting of inventory, equipment, customer lists, patents and other technology-based intangibles.
We are dedicated to serving the retail
hearing aid dispensing community and developing a program to contribute to various hearing aid focused charities.
InnerScope is an “emerging
growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not
be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”
including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and the exemptions
from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute
payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth
company.
InnerScope will continue
to be an emerging growth company until the earliest occurrence of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total
annual gross revenues of at least $1billion (as indexed for inflation), (2) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth
anniversary of the date of our initial public offering, (3) the
date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt and (4) the date
on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”).
InnerScope also qualifies
as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is defined as
a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company at such time as
we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings, some of which
are similar to those of an emerging growth company including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports
and proxy statements.
Our authorized capital stock
currently consists of 14,975,000,000 shares of common stock, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our common stock is listed on The
OTCQB under the symbol “INND.”
Our principal corporate headquarters
is located at 2151 Professional Drive, Second Floor, Roseville, CA. 95661. Our telephone number is (916) 218-4100. Our website address
is www.innd.com. (The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this Annual Report on Form
10-K.)
Company’s Business Model
The Company's Hearing Products
and its business model allow breaking through the persistent barriers that prevent access to effective hearing solutions. For example,
the Company's recent acquisition of iHear Medical Inc., a DTC cloud-based hearing solution provider, gives access to over 40 patents and
an FDA-registered manufacturing and R&D facility. In addition, the Company has acquired HearingAssist, an established leader in the
direct-to-consumer hearing aid market with a customer base of over 400,000. These acquisitions, combined with a partnership with Atlazo
Inc., a semiconductor innovator for next-generation AI smart devices, will allow the Company to take the lead position in the direct-to-consumer
hearing solutions market by selling innovated proprietary advanced hearing products through Walmart and other major Big Box retailers.
The Company's full line of FDA-Registered
Hearing Aids, PSAPs and Hearing Health products (“Hearing Products”) are currently available through multiple retail/wholesale
channels: Walmart, Walmart.com, Walmart Canada, RiteAid.com, BestBuy.com, Amazon.com, Giant Eagle, Hy-Vee, Hartig Drug, Food City, and
Cardinal Health dba RGH Enterprises Inc., which provides the Company's products to FSAStore.com, HSAStore.com, and WellDeservedHealth.com.
In addition, the Company's Hearing Products will soon be available with more major retailers and pharmacy chains for in-store and online
purchases.
Competition
We have numerous direct, indirect
and partial competitors, many of which have valuable industry relationships and access to greater resources than we do. There is no assurance
that we will be able to provide services that will be competitive in the marketplace, and even if competitive, that we will be able to
earn a profit.
The
internet is fast becoming a major factor in the distribution of hearing aids. In the U.S. numerous companies are on the internet advertising
hearing aids at inexpensive prices. We compete directly with these internet companies which are similar to our business model, and to
include Listen Lively, Audicus, and Eargo. In addition, the hearing device industry is controlled by 5 global manufacturers. These manufacturers
are GN Store Nord, Sonova, Starkey Hearing Technologies, William Demant and WS Audiology, all of which have established products and substantially
greater financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing and development resources than we possess. We also compete against traditional brick
and mortar retail hearing clinics which primarily sells the 5 global manufacturers products.
Intellectual Property
With our asset purchase of
iHear Medical Inc. we acquired access rights and license to over 40 U.S. patents for hearing aid technology. This includes 100% ownership
to the only FDA-Cleared in-home hearing test, called the iHearTest. We also have numerous copyrights, trademarks, and inventions assignment
agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. We have two provisional patents filed that may not result in issued patents.
We cannot be certain that any of the steps we have taken will prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property, particularly
in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights in these countries as fully as in the United States.
Government Regulation.
We
are subject to a limited variety of local, state, and federal regulations. Some of our products for example are registered with the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), which regulates, among other things, the research, development, testing, design,
manufacturing, approval, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, advertising, promotion and marketing, distribution, post approval monitoring
and reporting and import and export of medical devices in the United States to assure the safety and effectiveness of medical products
for their intended use. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) also regulates the advertising of our products in the
United States. Further, we are subject to laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse, which subject our sales and marketing, training,
and other practices to government scrutiny.
While we believe that our operations
are in compliance with all applicable regulations, there can be no assurances that from time-to-time
unintentional violations of such regulations will not occur. We are also subject to
federal, state and local laws and regulation applied to businesses, such as payroll taxes on the state and federal levels. Our current
business requires that we comply with state corporate filings, city or county business license and the necessary business liability insurance.
The requirements of these regulations are minimal and do not cause any undue burden.
However, internet access and
online services are not subject to direct regulation in the United States. Changes in the laws and regulations relating to the telecommunications
and media industry, however, could impact our business. For example, the Federal Communications Commission could begin to regulate the
Internet and online service industry, which could result in increased costs for us. The laws and regulations applicable to the Internet
and to our services are evolving and unclear and could damage our business. There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable
to access to, or commerce on, the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations
may be adopted, covering issues such as user privacy, defamation, pricing, taxation, content regulation, quality of products and services,
and intellectual property ownership and infringement. Such legislation could expose us to substantial liability as well as dampen the
growth in use of the Internet, decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium, or require us to incur
significant expenses in complying with any new regulations.
Regulation by the FDA
The FDA classifies hearing
aids hearing aids as medical devices. In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), as well
as FDA regulations and other federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things, medical device design and development,
preclinical and clinical testing, device safety, premarket clearance and approval, establishment registration and device listing, manufacturing,
labeling, storage, record-keeping, advertising and promotion, sales and distribution, export and import, recalls and field safety corrective
actions, and post-market surveillance, including complaint handling and medical device reporting of adverse events.
We currently market and in
compliance with the FDA regulations for our hearing aid products.
Proposed Rule for OTC
Category for Hearing Aids
The FDA Reauthorization Act
of 2017 (“FDARA”), which was signed into law on August 18, 2017 (the “OTC Hearing Aid Act”) created a new category
of over-the-counter (“OTC”) hearing aids that are intended to be available without supervision, prescription, or other order,
involvement or intervention of a licensed practitioner. The language in FDARA is not self-implementing, which means that the OTC hearing
aid category does not exist until there is effective regulation. On October 20, 2021, the FDA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
to establish new regulatory categories for OTC and prescription hearing aids, among other things (the “Proposed Rule”). Under
FDARA, the OTC hearing aid controls that are the subject of the rulemaking, if finalized, would preempt any state or local requirement
specifically related to hearing products that would restrict or interfere with commercial activity involving OTC hearing aids. The comment
period on the Proposed Rule, in which we participated in support of the Proposed Rule, ended on January 18, 2022, after which
the FDA will review the comments. It is not clear whether the FDA will publish a final rule (the “Final Rule”), and whether
the Final Rule will differ significantly from the Proposed Rule. However, if the FDA publishes a Final Rule, it would become effective
60 days after publication.
Under the Proposed Rule, devices
that require 510(k) clearance to be compliant with the rule requirements would need to be cleared by the effective date of the Final Rule
in order to continue to be marketed. For all other currently marketed devices, the proposed compliance date is 180 days after the effective
date of the Final Rule (240 days after the publication of the Final Rule). Hearing aids under existing regulations at 21 CFR 874.330 and
874.3305, both of which are exempt from 510(k) premarket review.
Debt and Recent
Events
Capital Raising
During the year ended 2020 and
through July 30, 2022, we incurred an aggregate of $300,117 of convertible indebtedness, at variable conversion rates. An aggregate of
$3,286,270 was outstanding as of December 31, 2020, convertible into approximately 4,650,000,000 shares of our common stock as of the
date hereof. All of these financings were private transactions with accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D of Rule 506 or other
exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Employees
As of June 24, 2022 we have 24 full-time employees.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider
the risks described below, as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this
document entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the
Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could
be materially adversely affected.
Investors should not
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after
the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Our business,
financial condition, and/or results of operation may be materially adversely affected by the nature and impact of these risks. New factors
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such
factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We incurred net losses
of $4,953,692 and $7,924,339 for the years ending December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Because of the operating losses, negative
cash flows from operations and working capital deficit, in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020,
our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. We are dependent therefore in raising additional capital in order to fund our operations. We may continue to experience net operating
losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain
necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales, or obtaining
loans from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
We are dependent
on raising additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to achieve our business plan and you could
lose your investment.
We are dependent on raising
outside capital to fill our operational and expansion needs. We currently raise this debt through private debt or equity financings, as
well as obtaining credit from vendors to be able to fully execute our business plan. Any additional capital raised through the sale of
equity may dilute your ownership interest. We may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable
to obtain additional funds or credit from our vendors, we will be unable to execute our business plan and you could lose your investment.
Management estimates we will need approximately $2,500,000 to fully implement, execute, market and launch our plans of multiple revenue
streams in 2021. During 2021 we raised approximately $3,074,00 by the issuance of convertible notes.
Our Directors and Officers
hold 900,000 Shares of our Series B Preferred Shares which gives them voting control of the Company and therefore effective control of
the Company.
As the holders of the Series
B Preferred Stock, our current officers and directors (the Moores) will have 1,000 votes per each share of the 900,000 shares of Series
B Preferred that they own, constituting 900,000,000 votes, on any matter submitted to the holders of the common stock of the Company,
effectively giving the holders voting control of the Company, as there are only 3,628,422,042 shares of the Company’s common stock
currently issued and outstanding. In addition to the voting power held via the Series B Preferred, our officers and directors are also
the holders of 57,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 0.0157% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company’s common stock. As a result of the issuance of the preferred, the holders total voting percentage, including their common
stock, is now 99%. This leaves our outside shareholders with no control over our business and operations, and any investors in our Company
should be aware of this risk.
Our management team
has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of
our business.
Our management team has limited
experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business.
Some of the individuals who now constitute our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and limited
experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently
manage our continued transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations
under the federal securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management
and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could materially and adversely impact our
business operations.
Sales concentrations for the year ended December
31, 2020 and 2019.
For the year ended December
31, 2020, one customer accounted for 28% of our business. For the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for approximately
11% of our business.
A significant part of
our business plan depends on marketing of our products and services, which may not be accepted in the marketplace.
Our industry is extremely competitive
and we have yet to attain any significant market share. In order to achieve successful operations, we will depend on effective marketing
to gain a significantly larger market share. We do not engage independent sales representatives. We do not employ a marketing agency.
Employing a greater number of marketing personnel or a marketing agency would require greater financial resources than we currently possess.
Furthermore, our ability to attract independent sales representatives may be limited without greater name recognition, an advertising
campaign and market penetration. Unless we are able to address these limitations in our marketing capabilities, you may expect our revenues
to be limited and we may have difficulty staying in business. And under such circumstances, our stock would not gain in value.
We operate in and plan to expand into extremely
competitive environments, which will make it difficult for us to achieve market recognition and revenues.
We operate in an extremely competitive
environment and the markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product introductions,
short product life cycles and evolving industry standards. Our success depends, in substantial part, on the timely and successful introduction
of our new products and services and thereafter upgrades of our products and services to comply with emerging industry standards and to
address competing technological and product developments by our competitors. We may focus our resources on technologies that do not become
widely accepted, are not timely released or are not commercially viable. In addition, our products may contain defects or errors that
are detected only after deployment. If our products are not competitive or do not work properly, our business could suffer and our financial
performance could be negatively impacted. You have no assurance that our new products and services, which we intend to be a significant
part or our business, will be accepted in the marketplace. If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, our revenues
will be significantly below the level we anticipate.
We are an early-stage company with an unproven
business model and our business may not become profitable.
We are an early-stage company
with a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business. We have very limited historical financial data. As a result
of these factors, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven, and we have only a limited operating history upon which
to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Because of our limited operating history and because the health care
industry is rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting
and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such
as ours frequently encounter risks, uncertainties, and difficulties, including those described in this section. We may not be able to
successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately address such risks could cause our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects to suffer.
Our revenues
are highly susceptible to declines as a result of unfavorable economic conditions.
Economic downturns could
affect the hearing aid industry more severely than other industries, and the recovery of the hearing aid industry could lag behind that
of the economy generally. In the past, some clients have responded to weakening economic conditions by reducing their purchases of hearing
aids in general and marketing budgets specifically, which include discretionary components that are easier to reduce in the short term
than other operating expenses. This pattern may recur in the future. A decrease in our revenue could pose a challenge to our cash generation
from operations.
Our financial condition could be adversely
affected if our available liquidity is insufficient.
If our business is significantly
adversely affected by further deterioration in the economic environment or otherwise, it could lead us to seek new or additional sources
of liquidity to fund our needs. Currently, for a non-investment-grade company such as ours, the capital markets are challenging, with
limited available financing and at higher costs than in recent years. There can be no guarantees that we would be able to access any new
sources of liquidity on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We may lose or fail to attract and retain key employees
and management personnel.
Our employees, including creative,
research, media and account specialists, and their skills and relationships with clients, are among our most important assets. An important
aspect of our competitiveness is our ability to attract and retain key employees and management personnel. Our ability to do so is influenced
by a variety of factors, including the compensation we award, and could be adversely affected by our financial or market performance.
We currently have only a small management team
and staff, which could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow our business.
Our operations are subject to
all of the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, including the likelihood of operating losses. As a smaller company with a
limited operating history, our success will depend, among other factors, upon how we manage the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications
and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business, products and channels of distribution, and current
and future development. In addition, as a company with a limited operating history and only a small management team and staff to grow
the business and manage the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, these factors could limit our ability to effectively seize
market opportunities and grow.
We are subject to regulations and other governmental
scrutiny that could restrict our activities or negatively impact our revenues.
Our marketing sector is subject
to government regulation and other governmental action, both domestic and foreign. There has been an increasing tendency on the part of
advertisers and consumer groups to challenge advertising through legislation, regulation, the courts or otherwise. For example, challenges
have been made in the courts on the grounds that the advertising is false and deceptive or injurious to public welfare. Through the years,
there has been a continuing expansion of specific rules, prohibitions, media restrictions, labeling disclosures and warning requirements
with respect to the advertising for certain products. Representatives within government bodies, both domestic and foreign, continue to
initiate proposals to ban the advertising of specific products and to impose taxes on or deny deductions for advertising, which, if successful,
may have an adverse effect on advertising expenditures and consequently our revenues.
We are subject
to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that requires us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection
with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.
We are subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that requires us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the
preparation of such reports. These additional accounting, audit, legal, printing, public relations and other costs could reduce or eliminate
our ability to earn a profit. We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review
our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will
have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The incurrence of such costs constitutes an expense to our operations and
thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We are also continually exposed to potential
risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial
reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial
information, and the trading price of our common stock, could drop significantly
If we experience
significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our results could
be harmed.
Due to our evolving business
model, the unpredictability of new markets that we intend to enter, and the unpredictability of future general economic and financial
market conditions, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We plan our expense levels and investment on estimates
of future revenue and future anticipated rate of growth. As a result, we expect that our revenues, operating results and cash flows may
fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis
We may in the future be sued
by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
The software and Internet industries
are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations
of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We may receive in the future communications from third parties claiming
that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. We may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement
of their proprietary rights. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims against their use. The outcome of any
litigation is inherently uncertain. Any intellectual property claims, whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive
to resolve, could divert management attention from executing our business plan and could require us to change our technology, change our
business practices and/or pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available
in the future at the same terms or at all.
We rely on third-party computer
hardware and software that may be difficult to replace or which could cause errors or failures of our service.
We will rely on computer hardware
purchased or leased and software licensed from third parties in order to offer our proposed service, including database software from
Oracle Corporation and an open-source content management system. This hardware and software
may not continue to be available at reasonable prices or on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any
of this hardware or software could significantly increase our expenses and otherwise result in delays in the provisioning of our service
until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our
business. Any errors or defects in third-party hardware or software could result in errors or a failure of our service which could harm
our business.
Our business could
be adversely affected if our customers are not satisfied with their purchase through us or the implementation and customization services
provided by third party Service Providers.
Our business will depend on our
ability to satisfy our potential customers. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of the product or service, the customer's
dissatisfaction could damage our ability to obtain additional or future orders from that customer. In addition, potential negative publicity
related to our customer relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete
for new business with prospective customers.
We are dependent
on our CEO and outsourced consultants, and the loss of one or more of these individuals could harm our business and prevent us from implementing
our business plan in a timely manner.
Our success depends substantially
upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our CEO, Matthew Moore. We do
not maintain key person life insurance policies on our CEO. The loss of the services of our CEO could seriously harm our business.
Our CEO is also an Officer or
a managing member of Moore Family Hearing Company Inc., Moore Holdings, LLC and Value Hearing, LLC, and we have entered into transactions
with these entities.
Our future growth may
be dependent, in part, on our distribution arrangements directly with retailers and regional retail accounts. If we are unable to establish
and maintain these arrangements, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Our future growth may be dependent
in part on our distribution arrangements directly with retailers and regional retail accounts. If we are unable to establish and maintain
these arrangements, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. We currently have distribution arrangements
with a few regional retail accounts to distribute our products directly through their venues; however, there are several risks associated
with this distribution strategy. First, we do not have long-term agreements in place with any of these accounts and thus, the arrangements
are terminable at any time by these retailers or us. Accordingly, we may not be able to maintain continuing relationships with any of
these national accounts. A decision by any of these retailers, or any other large retail accounts we may obtain, to decrease the amount
purchased from us or to cease carrying our products could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition or results
of operations. In addition, we may not be able to establish additional distribution arrangements with other national retailers. In addition,
our dependence on large regional retail chains may result in pressure on us to reduce our pricing to them or seek significant product
discounts. In general, our margins are lower on our sales to these customers because of these pressures. Any increase in our costs for
these retailers to carry our product, reduction in price, or demand for product discounts could have a material adverse effect on our
profit margin.
Our ability to grow our business may depend on
developing a positive brand reputation and member loyalty.
Establishing and maintaining
a positive brand reputation and nurturing member loyalty is critical to attracting new customers. We expect to expend reasonable but limited
resources to develop, maintain and enhance our brand in the near future. In addition, nurturing customer loyalty will depend on our ability
to provide a high-quality, user experience. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand reputation and customer satisfaction, our
ability to attract new customers will be harmed.
Investors may lose their entire investment if we
fail to reach profitability.
We commenced business in
2006. We have no demonstrable operations record from which you can evaluate the business and its prospects. Our prospects must be considered
in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development.
We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. To date, we have incurred losses and will continue to
do so in the foreseeable future. Investors should therefore be aware that they may lose their entire investment in the securities.
We have limited protection of our intellectual
property.
Our business prospects do
not rely upon company-owned patented technologies. Our business prospects will depend largely on our ability to service and support customers
and deliver services and solutions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect our trade secrets. In the event
competitors independently develop or otherwise obtain access to our know-how, concepts or trade secrets, we may be adversely affected.
Litigation or legal proceedings
could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
Litigation or legal proceedings could
expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
We may become party to litigation
claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distracting of management’s
attention away from our current business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of
unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish
reserves and/or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based
on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. We caution you that actual
outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures
require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all United States and local laws and regulations applicable to our business
operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that our policies
and procedures will always ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct
by our employees or agents could damage our reputation in the United States and internationally or lead to litigation or legal proceedings
that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.
Our business model is subject
to change
We may elect from time to time
to make pricing, service, hiring and marketing decisions that could increase our expenses, affect our revenues and impact our financial
results. Moreover, because our expense levels in any given quarter are based, in part, on management’s expectations regarding future
revenues, if revenues are below expectations, the effect on our operating results may be magnified by our inability to adjust spending
in a timely manner to compensate for a shortfall in revenues. The extent to which expenses are not subsequently followed by increased
revenues would harm our operating results and could seriously impair our business.
If we do not effectively manage
changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.
To manage our growth successfully,
we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures
and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to respond effectively to changes
and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial
condition, results of operations and future prospects.
As we attempt to
expand our customer base through our marketing efforts, our new customers may use our products differently than our existing customers
and, accordingly, our business model may not be as efficient at attracting and retaining new customers.
As we attempt to expand our
customer base, our new customers may use our products differently than our existing customers. For example, a greater percentage of new
customers may take advantage of the free trial period we offer but ultimately choose to use another form of marketing to reach their constituents.
If our new customers are not as loyal as our existing customers, our attrition rate will increase and our customer referrals will decrease,
which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, as we seek to expand our customer base, we expect to increase
our spending on sales and marketing activities in order to attract new customers, which will increase our operating costs. There can be
no assurance that these sales and marketing efforts will be successful
U.S. federal
legislation entitled Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 imposes certain obligations on the
senders of commercial emails, which could minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing solution, and establishes financial penalties
for non-compliance, which could increase the costs of our business.
Part of our marketing plan includes
email advertising. U.S. federal legislation entitled Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 imposes
certain obligations on the senders of commercial emails, which could minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing solution, and establishes
financial penalties for non-compliance, which could increase the costs of our business. In December 2003, Congress enacted Controlling
the Assault of Non- Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or the CAN-SPAM Act, which establishes certain requirements for commercial
email messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as
to source or content. The CAN-SPAM Act, among other things, obligates the sender of commercial emails to provide recipients with the ability
to opt out of receiving future emails from the sender. In addition, some states have passed laws regulating commercial email practices
that are significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act, particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted
do-not-email registries listing minors who do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial email that markets certain covered content, such
as adult or other harmful products. Some portions of these state laws may not be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act. The ability of our customers’
constituents to opt out of receiving commercial emails may minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing solution. Moreover, non-compliance
with the CAN-SPAM Act carries significant financial penalties. If we were found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, applicable state
laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a result of violations
by our customers or if we were deemed to be directly subject to and in violation of these requirements, we could be required to pay penalties,
which would adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our business. We also may be required to change one or more
aspects of the way we operate our business, which could impair our ability to attract and retain customers or increase our operating costs.
Government regulation
of the Internet, e-commerce and m-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these laws and regulations
could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Government regulation of the
Internet, e-commerce and m-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these laws and regulations could
substantially harm our business and results of operations. We are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations
and laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce and m-commerce in a number of jurisdictions around the world. Existing and future
regulations and laws could impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce, m-commerce or other online services. These regulations and laws
may involve taxation, tariffs, privacy and data security, anti-spam, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts,
electronic communications and consumer protection. It is not clear how existing laws and regulations governing issues such as property
ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet as the vast majority of these laws and regulations
were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the Internet, e- commerce
or m-commerce. It is possible that general business regulations and laws, or those specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce or
m-commerce may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other
rules or our practices. We cannot assure you that our practices have complied, comply or will comply fully with all such laws and regulations.
Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation, a loss
in business, and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others. Any such proceeding or action could hurt our reputation,
force us to spend significant resources in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business,
and cause consumers and retailers to decrease their use of our marketplace, and may result in the imposition of monetary liability. We
may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of noncompliance with any
such laws or regulations. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on
our websites and mobile applications or may even attempt to completely block access to our marketplace. Adverse legal or regulatory developments
could substantially harm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted, in whole or in part, from operating in one
or more countries, our ability to retain or increase our customer base may be adversely affected and we may not be able to maintain or
grow our net revenues as anticipated.
Our business practices with respect
to data and consumer protection could give rise to liabilities or reputational harm as a result of governmental regulation, legal requirements
or industry standards relating to consumer privacy, data protection and consumer protection.
Our business practices with
respect to data and consumer protection could give rise to liabilities or reputational harm as a result of governmental regulation, legal
requirements or industry standards relating to consumer privacy, data protection and consumer protection. Federal, state and international
laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of data that we collect. We strive to comply with all
applicable laws, regulations, self-regulatory requirements and legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection,
including those relating to the use of data for marketing purposes. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted
and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. We cannot
assure you that our practices have complied, comply, or will comply fully with all such laws, regulations, requirements and obligations.
Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with federal, state or international laws or regulations, including laws and regulations
regulating privacy, data security, marketing communications or consumer protection, or other policies, self-regulatory requirements or
legal obligations could result in harm to our reputation, a loss in business, and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities,
consumers, retailers or others. We may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless performance marketing networks or other
third parties from the costs or consequences of noncompliance with any laws, regulations, self-regulatory requirements or other legal
obligations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection or any inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure of data
that we store or handle as part of operating our business. Any such proceeding or action, and any related indemnification obligation,
could hurt our reputation, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increase our
costs of doing business and cause consumers and retailers to decrease their use of our marketplace, and may result in the imposition of
monetary liability.
The Company may lose its status
as an Emerging Growth Company.
Under Section 2(a)(19) of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 3(a)(80) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), an
Emerging Growth Company ("EGC") will lose its EGC status upon the earliest of:
|
the last day of the first fiscal year in which the company's annual gross revenues
exceed $1 billion; |
|
the
date on which the company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer (as
defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act); |
|
the
date on which the company has, during the previous three-year period, issued
more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and |
|
the
last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the company's
first sale of equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement occurs. |
Risks Related to
Our Common Stock
We have raised capital through the use of
convertible debt instruments that causes substantial dilution to our stockholders.
Because of the size of our Company
and its status as a “penny stock” as well as the current economy and difficulties of companies our size experience in finding
adequate sources of funding, we have been forced to raise capital through the issuance of convertible notes and other debt instruments.
These debt instruments carry favorable conversion terms to their holders of up to 35% discounts to the market price of our common stock
on conversion and in some cases provide for the immediate sale of our securities into the open market, which will cause dilution to our
stockholders. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $3,286,270 in convertible debt and potential convertible debt outstanding,
with weighted average interest of approximately 8%. The convertible debt is convertible into approximately 4,650,854,286 shares of common
stock at December 31, 2020. This convertible debt balance as well as additional convertible debt we incur in the future will cause substantial
dilution to our stockholders.
Because we are
quoted on the OTCPINK instead of an exchange or national quotation system, our investors may have a tougher time selling their stock or
experience negative volatility on the market price of our common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on
the OTCPINK. The OTCPINK is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors
can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make
markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that are quoted on the OTCQB as compared to a national
exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations,
the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors
in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations,
when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize
a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market
for our common stock improves.
Our stock is listed
on the OTCPINK, if we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCPINK which would limit the
ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTCPINK,
must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under
Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCPINK. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could
be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell
their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get relisted on the OTCPINK, which may have an adverse material
effect on the Company.
The Possible
Sale of Shares of Common Stock by Our Selling Security Holders May Have a Significant Adverse Effect on the Market Price of Our Common
Stock.
We have registered 906,000
shares of common stock with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission. The security holders may sell some or all of their shares at anytime.
In the event that the security holders sell some or all of their shares, the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.
Our ability to raise additional
capital through the sale of our stock in a private placement may be harmed by these competing re-sales of our common stock by the selling
security holders. Potential investors may not be interested in purchasing shares of our common stock if the selling security holders are
selling their shares of common stock. The selling of stock by the security holders could be interpreted by potential investors as a lack
of confidence in us and our ability to develop a stable market for our stock. The price of our common stock could fall if the selling
security holders sell substantial amounts of our common stock. These sales may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related
securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate because the selling security holders may offer to sell their shares
of common stock to potential investors for less than we do.
We are an ‘Emerging
Growth Company” and we intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to Emerging Growth
Companies, which could result in our stock being less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth
company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act, and we intend to take
advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging
growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will
rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market
for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are
no longer an emerging growth company, which in certain circumstances could be for up to five years.
The Company’s
election to take advantage of the jobs act’s extended accounting transition period may not make its financial statements easily
comparable to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012,
as an emerging growth company the Company can elect to take advantage of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting
standards that may be issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") or the Securities & Exchange Commission
("SEC"). The Company has elected take advantage of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued
or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt
the standard on the private company timeframe. This may make comparison of the Company's financial statements with any other public company
which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period
difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
The Jobs Act will also allow
the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and reduce the
amount of information provided in reports filed with the
The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies.
The Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,”
it will, among other things:
|
be
exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting
firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. |
|
|
|
be
exempt from the “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain
executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve
golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations)
of the Dodd-Frank Act and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its chief executive officer; |
|
|
|
be
permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from
proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning
executive compensation; and |
|
|
|
be
exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements |
The Company currently intends
to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies
as an “emerging growth company”.
As long as the Company
qualifies as an Emerging Growth Company, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest
to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Because the Company has elected
to take advantage of the extended time periods for compliance with new or revised accounting standards provided for under Section 102(b)
of the JOBS Act, among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required
to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies
as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting
go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Company may elect not to provide certain information,
including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have
been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the
Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
The Penny Stock Rules Could Restrict the Ability
of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Shares.
The SEC has adopted penny stock
regulations which apply to securities traded over-the-counter. These regulations generally define penny stock to be any equity security
that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an equity security of an issuer with net tangible assets of less than $5,000,000
as indicated in audited financial statements, if the corporation has been in continuous operations for less than three years. Subject
to certain limited exceptions, the rules for any transaction involving a penny stock require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of
a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that contains certain information describing the nature and level of risk associated with
investments in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Monthly account statements must be sent by the broker- dealer disclosing
the estimated market value of each penny stock held in the account or indicating that the estimated market value cannot be determined
because of the unavailability of firm quotes. In addition, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who
sell such securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors (generally institutions with assets
in excess of $5,000,000). These practices require that, prior to the purchase, the broker-dealer determined that transactions in penny
stocks were suitable for the purchaser and obtained the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction. If a market for our common
stock does develop and our shares trade below $5.00 per share, it will be a penny stock. Consequently, the penny stock rules will likely
restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares and will likely affect the ability of purchasers in the offering to sell our
shares in the secondary market. Trading in our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules. Due to the thinly
traded market of these shares investors are at a much higher risk to lose all or part of their investment. Not only are these shares thinly
traded but they are subject to higher fluctuations in price due to the instability of earnings of these smaller companies. As a result
of the lack of a highly traded market in our shares investors are at risk of a lack of brokers who may be willing to trade in these shares.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future;
any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We do not currently anticipate
paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition
and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention
is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There
can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock,
and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends,
our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile
and may decline in value.
The market price of our common
stock has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Marketplace quoted
stocks, in particular. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such
as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales
of our common stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance.
In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly
affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific
companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our stockholders
may experience significant dilution if future equity offerings are used to fund operations or acquire complementary businesses.
If our future operations or acquisitions
are financed through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders could experience significant dilution. In addition, securities
issued in connection with future financing activities or potential acquisitions may have rights and preferences senior to the rights and
preferences of our common stock.
Our current management can exert significant
influence over us and make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.
Our executive officers and directors
(the Moores) beneficially own as a group approximately 91% of our outstanding voting shares, including our Series B Preferred Stock. As
a result, these stockholders will be able to assert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the
election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our outstanding shares
of common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential
acquirer from attempting to obtain control. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could
also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests
of the owners of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders and,
accordingly, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.
We could issue additional
“blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests
and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada law could discourage a takeover that stockholders
may consider favorable.
Our certificate of incorporation,
as amended, provides that we may authorize and issue up to 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations,
rights, and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. Our Board has issued 900,000 of Series B Preferred, and is
empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting,
or other rights, which could dilute the interest of or impair the voting power of our holders of Common Stock. The issuance of a series
of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible
for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change
control of our Company.
Investors who purchase shares of our common stock
should be aware of the possibility of a total loss of their investment.
An investment in our common
stock involves a substantial degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should give careful consideration to the risk factors
described in this section in addition to the other information contained herein. The risk factors described herein, however, may not reflect
all of the risks associated with our business or an investment in our common stock. You should invest in our Company only if you can afford
to lose your entire investment.
The Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the Penny
Stock Rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must
have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced
securities to their non- institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's
financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there
is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least
some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which
may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
A significant amount
of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are restricted securities and may not be freely resold to the public. When the restriction
on any or all of these shares is lifted, and the shares are sold in the open market, the price of our common stock could be adversely
affected.
A significant amount of our
issued and outstanding shares of common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available.
Although Rule 144 may not be immediately available to permit resale of such shares, once available, and given the number of shares that
would no longer be restricted, sales of shares by our shareholders, whether pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise, could have an immediate
negative effect upon the price of our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management’s
discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.
This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,”
and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those
projected. Some of our risks and uncertainties are included in the Risk Factors section of this Report, as well as, other reports that
we may file from time to time. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date
hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
The independent auditors’
reports on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 includes a “going concern” explanatory
paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the
factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements filed herein.
While our financial statements
are presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditors have raised a substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
For the year ended December
31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019
Revenues
Revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2020 were $166,111 compared to $847,109 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The revenue decrease was primarily due
to closing of many retail locations due to COVID-19 (Note 14). For the year ended December 31, 2020, a related customer accounted for
0% of our revenues compared to 5% for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted
for 28% of total revenue.
Online
sales
Beginning in the second
quarter of 2018, the Company began to market a line of PSAPs and during the third quarter of 2018, expanded their line of products to
include FDA registered hearing aid devices. The Company has introduced the products through new marketing campaigns, to bring awareness
to the products, which resulted in increase in sales in 2019.
Retail clinic sales
Retail clinic sales significantly
decreased in 2020 as a number of retail locations were closed due to COVID-19. As a result, the Company experienced a negative impact
to its operating results.
Cost of sales

Net loss for the year ended
December 31,2020 was $4,953,692 compared to $7,924,339 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in the loss was mainly due
to the decrease in operations due to COVID-19.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability of an
enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs to pay ongoing obligations. As of December 31, 2020, we had cash of
$3,349, a decrease of $1,110, from $4,459 as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, we had current liabilities of $10,418,996
(including derivative liabilities of $4,046,401) compared to current assets of $23,449 which resulted in working capital deficit of 10,395,547.
The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities.
Our ability to operate over the
next 12 months, is contingent upon continuing to realize sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses. If we are unable to sustain
our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may
be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other cash requirements. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will
be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our ability to operate beyond December 31, 2021, is contingent upon continuing to realize
sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses. If we are unable to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend
to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other
cash requirements. Since December 31, 2020, we have received $8,300,686, from the issuance of $6,550,957 of convertible notes, $650,000
from sale of common stock and approximately $1,099,729 from the sales of hearing aid products. We do not have any formal commitments or
arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing
will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US
GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of InnerScope and its’ wholly
owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Companies
The Company qualifies as an
“emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can
take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised
accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards
would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates relied
upon in preparing these financial statements include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts receivable from a related party
and notes receivable from an officer, inventory allowances for slow moving or obsolete inventory and the allocation of our CEO’s
compensation to the Company. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. If the amount of a
deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost, in whole or in
part, if the bank were to fail.
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured
financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes
it is not exposed to significant risk on its cash due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits
are held.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, as amended effective January 1, 2018, and determined that there was no significant impact on its revenue
recognition. The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers. The Company’s revenue recognition policy standards include the following elements:
| I. | Identify the contract with a customer |
| II. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| III. | Determine the transaction price |
| IV. | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| V. | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company’s contracts with customers are generally
on a purchase order basis and represent obligations that are satisfied at a point in time as defined in the new guidance. Accordingly,
revenue for each sale is recognized when each sale is complete, which is when the customer receives
the goods and any costs incurred before this point in time, are recorded as assets to be expensed during the period the related
revenue is recognized. The Company accepts prepayments on hearing aids and records the amount received as customer deposits on its’
balance sheet. When the Company delivers the hearing aid to the customer, revenue is recognized as well as the corresponding cost of sales.
All goods are delivered to the customer using public carriers. Company bears any loss during transit. As of December 31, 2020, the Company
had received $10,925 of customer deposits, that will be recognized after December 31, 2021, when the hearing aids are delivered to the
customer.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred
revenues from the Consulting Agreement when cash has been received, but the related services have not been provided. Deferred revenue
will be recognized when the services are provided, and the terms of the agreements have been fulfilled.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs
as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, advertising and marketing expenses were $19,762 and $485,407, respectively.
Investment
in Undivided Interest in Real Estate
The Company accounts for its’ investment
in undivided interest in real estate using the equity method, as the Company is severally liable only for the indebtedness incurred with
its interest in the property. The Company includes its allocated portion of net income or loss in Other income (expense) in its Statement
of Operations, with the offset to the equity investment account on the balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the Company recognized a gain of $30,646 and $15,083, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying value the carrying
value of our investment in undivided interest in real estate was $1,227,733 and $1,210,526, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The Company measures assets
and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which
represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly
transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value
on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels
of inputs to measure fair value:
| | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data by correlation or other means. |
| | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's
assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market
participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The carrying amounts of the
Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table represents
the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, for
each fair value hierarchy level:

Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future
tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred
tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition
threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition,
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties
are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions
are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date
may be recognized or continue to be recognized.
Earnings (loss)
Per Share
The Company reports earnings
(loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company’s outstanding convertible debt
is convertible into 4,650,854,286 and 155,226,039, respectively, shares of common stock, respectively, subject to adjustment based on
changes in the Company’s stock price. This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact
is antidilutive.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation was
performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief
Financial Officer (the “CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual
report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2020, disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over
Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is de fined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures
that:
| | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets; |
| | Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control,
however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be
met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our CEO and CFO have evaluated
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the
end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded
that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020, as described below.
We assessed the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:
Insufficient Resources: We have
an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
Inadequate Segregation of Duties
: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Lack
of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment
and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
We are committed to improving
the internal controls and will (1) consider to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting
and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the
lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit
committee members in the future.
We have discussed the material
weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, there is
a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that
would not be prevented or detected.
This Annual Report does
not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of
the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes
in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, executive officer,
significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K
in the past 10 years.
Corporate Governance
Our Board has not established
any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar
function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board
believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more
form than substance.
We do not have a policy regarding
the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director
candidates, nor have our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted
a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to
be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation
from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors.
Given our relative size and
lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation
in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current
members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
As with most small, early-stage
companies until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a revenue base and has sufficient working capital to
purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When
we are able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our Board
of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert.
Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent, and we are not
currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent”
directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our Board.
Conflicts of Interests
On May 9, 2017, the Company
and LLC1 purchased certain real property from an unaffiliated party. The Company and LLC1 have agreed that the Company purchased and
owns 49% of the building and LLC1 purchased and owns 51% of the building. On June 14, 2017, the Company entered into a five-year lease
with LLC1 for approximately 6,944 square feet and a monthly rent of $12,000. For the year ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company
expensed $144,000 and $144,000, respectively, related to this lease.
Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Ethics
for Senior Financial Management to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies to our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the Code of Ethics supplement,
but do not replace, any other code of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.
Under the Code of Ethics, all members
of the senior financial management shall:
| | Act honestly and ethically in the performance of their duties at our company, |
| | Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships, |
| | Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications by our company, |
| | Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state
and local governments and other private and public regulatory agencies that effect the conduct of our business and our financial reporting, |

Director Independence
None of the members of our Board
of Directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The
NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three
years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings
with us. In addition, our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the
opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though
such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board would have
reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities
and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
In performing the functions of
the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions.
Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether
to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company
to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors
for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s
financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement
of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results
of our quarterly financial statements.
Our board as a whole considers
executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our board as a whole
oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the
compensation of our executive officers, if any, and reviews the compensation and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer
and our other executive officers. Our board also administers our equity incentive and stock option plans, if any.
Each of our directors participates
in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended
by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders
or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time
the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a
registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership
and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive
officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a)
reports they file. Based solely upon a review of such reports, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company
believes that, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 each director, executive officer and 10% stockholder made timely
filings of all reports required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
The following tables set forth
all of the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to: (i) each individual serving as our principal executive officer; and (ii) each

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The following table sets forth
information known to the Company with respect to the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of April 15, 2019 by: (1) each person known by the
Company to beneficially own 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock; (2) each of the named executive officers as defined
in Item 402(m)(2); (3) each of the Company’s directors; and (4) all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a
group. The number of shares beneficially owned is determined under rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily
indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission
that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. The below table is as of June 30, 2022. As of June
30, 2022, there were 7,323,973,266 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company also has outstanding 900,000 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock, which is not convertible but votes on a 1,000 for one basis with the common stock and is considered a “control
block” of shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InnerScope
Hearing Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InnerScope Hearing Technologies,
Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the entity has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated 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 entity’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. 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. InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control 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 presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Business
InnerScope Hearing Technologies,
Inc. (“Company”, “InnerScope”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on June 15, 2012, with its principal place
of business in Roseville, California. The Company was originally named InnerScope Advertising Agency, Inc. and was formed to provide
advertising and marketing services to retail establishments in the hearing device industry. On August 25, 2017, the Company changed its
name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the Company’s current direction as a hearing health technology
company that manufactures, develops, distributes, and sells numerous innovative hearing health-related products, hearing treatments,
and hearing solutions direct to consumer (DTC) with a scalable business model.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The consolidated
financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of InnerScope and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Companies
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth
company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the
extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those
standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition
period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include the fair value of the derivative liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Company held no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Cash balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits.
If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost,
in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail. No losses have been recognized as a result of these excess amounts.
Accounts receivable
The Company records accounts receivable at the time
products and services are delivered. An allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables
are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance (if any) is an amount
that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability
of the accounts and prior loss experience. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, management’s evaluation required the establishment
of an allowance for uncollectible receivables of $27,991 and $27,615, respectively.
Sales Concentration and Credit Risk
Following is a summary of customers
who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and accounts
receivable balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower
of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or
slow-moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts. As of December 31, 2020, and
2019, management’s analysis did not require any provisions to be recognized.
Intangible Assets
Costs for intangible assets
are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining such assets. Capitalized
costs are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets. On October 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Manufacturing
Design and Marketing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Zounds Hearing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zounds”),
whereby, Zounds as the Subcontractor will provide design, technology, manufacturing and supply chain services to the Company (see Note
13) for a period of ten years. The Company will pay Zounds One Million ($1,000,000) for the right to use proprietary technology (the “Technology
Access Fee”). As of December 31, 2018, the Company has capitalized the $1,000,000 Technology Access Fee as an intangible asset on
the consolidated balance sheets. The Technology Access Fee will be amortized over the term of the Agreement. The Company also acquired
intangible assets from an asset purchase agreement (see Note 4). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company determined that
they do not expect to realize any benefit in the foreseeable future, therefore, have recorded an impairment of $775,000.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are
stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company
reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts
of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Computer equipment |
3 years |
Machinery and equipment |
5 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
5 years |
Leasehold improvements |
3-5 years |
The Company's property and equipment

Depreciation expense of $19,310 and $25,453 was recorded for
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Investment in Undivided Interest in Real Estate
The Company accounts for its’ investment
in undivided interest in real estate using the equity method, as the Company is severally liable only for the indebtedness incurred with
its interest in the property. The Company includes its allocated portion of net income or loss in Other income (expense) in its Statement
of Operations, with the offset to the equity investment account on the balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the Company recognized a gains of $30,646 and $15,083, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s
investment in undivided interest in real estate was $1,227,733 and $1,210,526, respectively (see Note 9).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets
and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which
represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly
transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that mark et participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value
on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure
fair value:
| | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data by correlation or other means. |
| | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's
assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market
participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The carrying amounts of the
Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December
31, 2020, and 2019, for each fair value hierarchy level:

Embedded Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded
conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion
feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded
in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20
"Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative
instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments,
including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair
value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.
For option-based simple derivative
financial instruments, the Company uses the Monte Carlo simulations to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation
dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity,
is re- assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt
issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of
cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If a conversion of
the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. Any unamortized
debt issue costs and debt discount are presented net of the related debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued,
the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount,
reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying
debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. Any unamortized original issue
discounts are presented net of the related debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the
Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) and all the related amendments.
The Company elected to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The core principle of ASC 606
requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process
to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition
process than required under U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable
consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The Company’s contracts
with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent obligations that are satisfied at a point in time, as defined in
the new guidance, generally upon delivery or has services are provided. Accordingly, revenue for each sale is recognized when the Company
has completed its performance obligations, Any costs incurred before this point in time, are recorded as assets to be expensed during
the period the related revenue is recognized. The Company accepts prepayments on hearing aids and records the amount received as customer
deposits on its’ balance sheet. When the Company delivers the hearing aid to the customer, revenue is recognized as well as the
corresponding cost of sales.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the Company had received $21,505 and $10,925 of customer deposits, where revenue will be recognized when the hearing aids are delivered
to the customer.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future
tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred
tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a
recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance
on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues.
Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid,
any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions are
measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized
or continue to be recognized.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses advertising
and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, advertising and marketing expenses were $19,762 and $485,407,
respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings
(loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company’s outstanding convertible debt
is convertible into approximately 4,650,854,286 and 155,226,039 shares of common stock, respectively. This amount is not included in
the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness
of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure
requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (for
“emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2020). The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will
have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The FASB recently
issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,
to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in
ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance
in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and
cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to
convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted
for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial
instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity,
by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial
instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features
requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per
Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method.
In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash
or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early
adoption permitted (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2023). The Company will be evaluating the impact
this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic
842, Leases (ASU 2018-10), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and ASU
No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11), which addressed implementation issues related to the new
lease standard. These and certain other lease-related ASUs have generally been codified in ASC 842. ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting
requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (ASC 840). ASC 842 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating,
with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 was effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period (for “emerging growth company”
from January 1, 2020). The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the effective date transition method.
The Company elected the practical expedient
to not record short-term leases on its consolidated balance sheet.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND
MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction
of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company experienced a net loss of $4,953,692 for the year ended December
31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,395,547, and an accumulated deficit of $19,250,160. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to operate in the normal course of
business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations
and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and / or generating profitable operations in the
future. Management believes that actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan will generate additional revenues
and eventually positive cash flow and provide opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability
of our strategy to generate additional revenues and our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS,
NET (OTHER THAN GOODWILL)
The Company’s intangible
assets consist of a customer list and non-compete acquired in 2018 and a Technology Access Fee required to be paid by the Company in connection
with a manufacturing design and marketing agreement executed with a supplier (see Note 11). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the
Company determined that it was unable to substantiate the actual fair value of the technology that was acquired so has chosen to impair
the full amount. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives as indicated below. The estimated useful lives
of property and equipment are as follows:
Customer List |

NOTE 6 – NOTE PAYABLE
In October of 2018, the Company entered
into a Business Loan Agreement (the “October BLA”) for $47,215 with a third- party, whereby the Company received
$35,500 on October 10, 2018.
The October BLA requires the Company to make the first six monthly payments of principal and interest of $4,467 per month, and then $3,402
for months seven through t12. The note carries a 33% interest rate and matures on October 28, 2019. The Company paid the note in full
during the year ending December 31, 2019.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company determined that the
conversion features of the convertible notes represented embedded derivatives since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of
shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion
feature is bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative
instruments is recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each
Note, with any excess of the fair value of the derivative component over the face amount of the note recorded as an expense on the issue
date. Such discounts are amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative
liabilities are recorded in other income or expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of each period,
with the offset to the derivative liabilities on the balance sheet.
The Company valued the
derivative liabilities at issuance, December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, at $412,801 and $4,745,194, respectively. The Company used
the multinomial lattice valuation model with the following assumptions for new notes issued
during the year ended December 31, 2020, risk-free interest rate of 0.05% and volatility of 150% to 250%, and as of December 31, 2019,
risk-free interest rate of 0.05% and volatility of 200% to 300%.

design, technology, manufacturing and supply chain services to the Company, to enable the Company to manufacture comparable hearing aids

through the Company’s various marketing and distribution channels. The Company will pay Zounds One Million ($1,000,000) (the “Technology
Access Fee”). The Technology Access Fee, as amended will be paid in eight (8) installments of $75,000 each, in four- week intervals
until $600,000 is paid and $400,000 is to be paid as Product Surcharges based on $200 per unit manufactured for up to the first 2,000
units. Once $400,000 of Product Surcharges are paid said per unit surcharge will be discontinued. As of December 31, 2018, the Company

NOTE 12– INCOME
TAXES
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”)
enacted on December 22, 2017 reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and requires companies to pay a one-time transition
tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, as described
below, it has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on existing deferred tax balances. These amounts are provisional and subject to
change.
The provision for income taxes
is calculated at US corporate tax rate of approximately 21% (2019: 21%) as follows:

Deferred tax assets
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability
method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist
of the following components as of December 31:

| — | |
At December 31, 2020, the Company performed a comprehensive
analysis of its tax estimates and revised comparative figures accordingly, which had no net impact on deferred tax recorded. The Company
had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,594,396 (2019: $2,077,264) that may be offset against future taxable income
from the year by 2040. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial statements since the
potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company is taxed in the United States at the Federal
level. All tax years since inception are open to examination because no tax returns have been filed.

NOTE 14 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general
business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these
conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse
conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.
In December 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19)
was reported in Wuhan, China and has spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world. The World Health Organization has
declared the outbreak to constitute a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” This contagious disease outbreak,
which has not been contained, and is disrupting supply chains and affecting production and sales across a range of industries in United
States and other companies as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions in connection with the
outbreak, as well as the worldwide adverse effect to workforces, economies, and financial markets, leading to a global economic downturn.
As a result, the Company experienced a negative impact to its operating results. Regarding future operations, the related financial impact
and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
NOTE 15 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION

350"), requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not to be amortized, such as trade
names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated
to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.
