ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates processing, fermentation and distillation processing systems for the craft beer, cannabis and hemp industries using “Best in Class” American made components integrated with stainless steel processing vessels using only American made steel. Founded in 2014, the company began in a backyard shop by Jeff Lewis with a vision of creating a profitable company in “Rural America” by hiring excellent personnel, designing and fabricating products to exceed customer’s expectations and compensating craftsmen with living wages and profit sharing to financially sustain their families within the community. Mr. Lewis has 15+ years of experience as a craft beer brewer, a custom tank/vessel designer, fabrication and integration expert and business owner who initially founded Portland Kettle Works, a nationally recognized manufacturer of craft beer brewing equipment located in the Northwest. The Company has grown from 3 employees in 2015 to 12 in 2020.
BrewBilt has been built by having strong relationships with local suppliers of raw materials, equipment and services in California, an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide, and an Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 900 operating breweries - being centrally located in this booming market was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as “food grade” quality which enables the company to build vessels for food & beverage processing, the company is now building systems that are pharmaceutical grade for clients involved in distillation for the cannabis and hemp industries, thus making the revenue potential much greater. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from California suppliers which enables them to closely monitor quality, while the company’s revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the country. The company is aggressively pursuing international orders and has held meetings with the Center for International Trade Development and U.S. Commercial Service to develop international opportunities. Presently, a great deal of sales interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
BrewBilt competes against a number of companies, most of which are selling mass produced equipment from China made from less costly inferior quality Chinese steel which often is neither food nor pharmaceutical grade quality. While this broader market is very competitive, there continues to be little competition and strong market demand for higher quality, custom designed, hand crafted and integrated systems that BrewBilt produces.
In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA. This facility was purchased by BrewBilt in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. BrewBilt is prepared to expand again by leasing an additional seventy-six hundred (7,600) square feet in the same facility. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The company’s website is being expanded for online sales to include online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded integrated product line for the cannabis and hemp industries. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.

Our Market Opportunity
The craft beer industry offers a value of $26 billion in the United States, yet it is still an area of the economy which offers untapped potential. It is one of the fastest-growing segments of the beverage manufacturing industry today. The amount of consumer interest has been nothing short of incredible. Growth rates in sales, employment opportunities, and the total volume of beer produced have all been in double-digit percentages since 2010.
At a time when the overall beer industry saw a decrease in sales of 1% in 2020, the craft beer industry saw 5% growth. 70% of the volume that is produced by active breweries for the industry provide regional sales in the United States. 22% of the organizations are classified as microbreweries. Approximately 6% are brewpubs, while 1% list themselves as a contract brewing organization.
In 2020, there were over 196 million barrels of beer produced for sale in the United States. This volume was a 1.2% decrease from the year before. The craft beer industry still saw a 5% increase in volume as well, producing 24.8 million barrels of beer.
There are four distinct craft beer industry market segments: microbreweries, brewpubs, contactor brewers, and regional crafters. Home-brewers are sometimes grouped in with this data as well.

That’s growth of nearly 500% in ten years - for a market that had been stagnant for decades. Millennials interest in craft beer and microbreweries in a staple of its generation and the trend isn’t slowing down. From 2017 to 2018, nearly 1,000 new breweries opened in the US. Combine that with the rise of brewpubs, home-brewing kits, and the overall microbrewery culture and the numbers become even more impressive.

Craft Beer Industry Trends and Analysis
Although the interest in the craft beer industry is far from gone, the opportunities for growth for new businesses may have already peaked. With thousands of new breweries operating across the United States and around the world, the market is becoming increasingly crowded with multiple products in all economies. Although saturation may still be sometime away, it is inevitable that there will be an increasing level of pullback that occurs as the industry matures.
The amount of deceleration that the craft beer industry experiences will likely be dependent upon how many consumers decide to shift from a macro-brewery to products to items produced by the firms which are able to survive. There is already a steep drop occurring for the largest beverage manufacturers in the sector, which means the most established names and highest quality products have an opportunity to continue growing at an impressive rate.
Industrial brewers have already taken notice of this trend. Anheuser-Busch InBev purchased Goose Island in 2011 for about $39 million, which was their first of numerous acquisitions that are similar. Large companies have numerous ways to push into the market instead of only relying on the pull of consumers.
Even then, we still anticipate a 5-year growth pattern averaging 4% annually through 2024, with the potential to extend that influence through to a 10-year forecast as well. Consumers are asking for better products with more flavor choices today, which means the craft beer industry is in the perfect position to cash in on this trend.

Common Stock
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “BBRW”. Because we are quoted on the OTC Markets, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.
The following table sets forth the high and low closing prices for our common stock per quarter as reported by the OTCQB for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, based on our fiscal year end December 31. These prices represent quotations between dealers without adjustment for retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
Penny Stock Regulations Restrictions on Marketability
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws, (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions, (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks, and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock, and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock once we obtain a listing on a regulated market. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares of our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections.

You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made as of the date of this report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019
Revenues:
The Company’s revenues were $1,379,580 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,589,728 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to the impact of COVID-19.
Cost of Sales:
The Company’s cost of materials was $455,360 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,209,341 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to the impact of COVID-19.
Operating Expenses:
Operating expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, salaries and wages, office expenses and fees associated with preparing reports and SEC filings relating to being a public company. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, were $9,905,885 and $974,624, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to share-based compensation pursuant to Licensing and Distribution Agreements.
Other Income (Expense):
Other income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $(7,343,185) and $10,685,542, respectively. Other income (expense) consisted of gain or loss on derivative valuation, gain or loss on disposal of assets, goodwill impairment and interest expense. The gain or loss on derivative valuation is directly attributable to the change in fair value of the derivative liability. Interest expense is primarily attributable the initial interest expense associated with the valuation of derivative instruments at issuance and the accretion of the convertible debentures over their respective terms. The variance primarily resulted from the fluctuation of the Company’s stock price which impacted the valuation of the derivative liabilities on the convertible debt.
Net Profit (Loss):
Net profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $(16,324,850), compared with $10,091,305 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decreased profit can be explained by the increase in share-based consulting fees and the loss in fair value of the derivative instruments in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had a negligible effect on our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $72,764 and $597,016 in cash and total assets, as well as $4,766,420 in total liabilities as compared to $1,444 and $949,010 in cash and total assets, and $6,810,483 in total liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The decrease in assets was due to a decrease in accounts receivable. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily attributed to a decrease in notes payable and interest due to note holder conversions to common stock.
The Company requires additional capital to fully execute its marketing program and increase revenues. Presently we are relying on short term loans from our sole officer and director to meet operational shortfalls. There can be no assurance that continued funding will be available on satisfactory terms. We intend to raise additional capital through the sale of equity, loans or other short-term financing options.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, cash from (used in) operating activities was $(964,667) compared to $(68,516) for the year ended December 31, 2019. The variance is primarily resulted from the loss on derivative liabilities, loss on conversions and share-based compensation reported in 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2020 cash from (used in) investing activities was $(33,823) compared to $22,408 for the year ended December 30, 2018. The variance is primary due to fixed asset additions in 2020 and fixed asset disposals in 2019.
During the year ended December 30, 2020, cash from financing activity was $1,069,810 compared to $4,267 for the year ended December 30, 2019. The variance primarily resulted from an increase in proceeds from convertible and promissory notes during the year ended December 30, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty liabilities, share-based payments, income taxes and litigation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. We believe that the significant accounting policies and assumptions as detailed in Note 1 to the financial statements contained herein may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
●have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
●comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
●submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
●disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also 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. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

BREWBILT MANUFACTURING INC.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BrewBilt Manufacturing, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Located in Grass Valley, CA, BrewBilt is one of the only California companies that custom designs, hand crafts, and integrates processing, fermentation and distillation processing systems for the craft beer, cannabis and hemp industries using “Best in Class” American made components integrated with stainless steel processing vessels using only American made steel. Founded in 2014, the company began in a backyard shop by Jeff Lewis with a vision of creating a profitable company in “Rural America” by hiring excellent personnel, designing and fabricating products to exceed customer’s expectations and compensating craftsmen with living wages and profit sharing to financially sustain their families within the community. Mr. Lewis has 15+ years of experience as a craft beer brewer, a custom tank/vessel designer, fabrication and integration expert and business owner who initially founded Portland Kettle Works, a nationally recognized manufacturer of craft beer brewing equipment located in the Northwest. The Company has grown from 3 employees in 2015 to 9 in 2017.
BrewBilt has been built by having strong relationships with local suppliers of raw materials, equipment and services in California, an aggressive referral network of satisfied customers nationwide, and an Advisory Board consisting of successful business leaders that provide valuable product feedback and business expertise to management. The craft brewing & spirits industries continue to grow worldwide. California is where craft brewing began and now has over 900 operating breweries - being centrally located in this booming market was a large draw for BrewBilt to locate its manufacturing facility in the Sierra foothills.
All BrewBilt products are designed and fabricated as “food grade” quality which enables the company to build vessels for food & beverage processing , the company is now building systems that are pharmaceutical grade for clients involved in distillation for the cannabis and hemp industries, thus making the revenue potential much greater. BrewBilt buys materials and components mostly from California suppliers which enables them to closely monitor quality, while the company’s revenues are generated from sales to customers throughout the country. The company is aggressively pursuing international orders and has held meetings with the Center for International Trade Development and U.S. Commercial Service to develop international opportunities. Presently, a great deal of sales interest in coming from Mexico, Japan, Europe and Australia.
BrewBilt competes against a number of companies, most of which are selling mass produced equipment from China made from less costly inferior quality Chinese steel which often is neither food nor pharmaceutical grade quality. While this broader market is very competitive, there continues to be little competition and strong market demand for higher quality, custom designed, hand crafted and integrated systems that BrewBilt produces.
In July of 2016, BrewBilt moved from the small facility in Nevada City, CA to lease an eight thousand (8,000) square foot manufacturing facility in Grass Valley, CA. This facility was purchased by BrewBilt in January 2018 and upgraded with substantial tenant improvements. BrewBilt is prepared to expand again by leasing an additional seventy-six hundred (7,600) square feet in the same facility. BrewBilt obtains the majority of its leads through customer referrals and from online marketplaces. The company’s website is being expanded for online sales to include online educational/marketing videos that feature the company and its expanded integrated product line for the cannabis and hemp industries. BrewBilt has also created distribution sales agreements with individuals and companies to represent BrewBilt in both the domestic and international markets.
Financial Statement Presentation
The audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Fiscal year end
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
COVID-19
The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020. The direct financial impact of the pandemic has primarily shown in significantly reduced production from the on-premises channel and higher labor and safety-related costs at the Company’s manufacturing facility. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of manufacturing productivity. The Company will continue to assess and manage this situation and will provide a further update in each quarterly earnings release, to the extent that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are then known more clearly.
Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue and related cost of sales until all conditions are met. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has deferred $71,280 and $1,511,096, respectively, in revenue, and $489 and $53,038 in cost of sales, respectively, related to customer orders in progress. These amounts are recorded as billings in excess of revenues and earnings in excess of billings in the accompanying balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is $0.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Raw materials, which principally consist of raw stainless steel, raw stainless tubing, motors, pumps, and fittings, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company wrote off $17,246 in obsolete inventory to the statement of operations.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired in the Merger is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The testing of goodwill under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reviewed the goodwill recorded in the Merger and determined that an impairment expense of $2,289,884 was required.
Warranty
The Company is a manufacturer of products which are shipped to our customers directly from the Company. For products that are made from raw materials, the Company offers a 6-year limited warranty. The parts provided by outside vendors as finished goods that are added to a system produced by the Company as components, have a manufacturers’ warranty that is passed on to the end user of the complete system. To date, BrewBilt has spent less than $5,000 over the past 5 years for repairs (under warranty) on products they have built, with most of the costs going to cover travel and lodging expenses. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a liability of $5,000 and $5,000, respectively, for warranties, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amortized cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
In management’s opinion, the fair value of convertible notes payable and advances payable is approximate to carrying value as the interest rates and other features of these instruments approximate those obtainable for similar instruments in the current market. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balances reported for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
As of the date of this filing, the Company is current in filing their tax returns. The last return filed by the Company was December 31, 2019, and the Company has not accrued any potential penalties or interest from that period forward.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaces existing revenue recognition guidance. The updated guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized in retained earnings at the date of adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (ASC Topic 842), Leases. The ASU amends a number of aspects of lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize operating leases with a term greater than one year on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new lease guidance on January 1, 2019.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and there was no material impact.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has experienced net losses to date, and it has not generated sufficient revenue from operations to meet our operational overhead. We will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company is preparing a strategy to meet operational shortfalls which may include equity funding, short term or long-term financing or debt financing, to enable the Company to reach profitable operations. Historically, the Company’s sole officer and director has provided short term loans to meet working capital shortfalls. We have recently entered into financing agreements with various third parties to meet our capital needs in fiscal 2020.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - MERGER TRANSACTION
On November 22, 2019, Vet Online Supply and Brewbilt Manufacturing (“BrewBilt”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and completed a merger, whereby Brewbilt merged with and into Vet Online Supply, with BrewBilt remaining as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the merger is treated as a “reverse merger” under the purchase method of accounting, with BrewBilt as the accounting acquirer.
Pursuant with the Merger Asset Purchase Agreement, the Board of Directors has authorized that BrewBilt shall sell, assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest to its IP, fixed assets and “know how” to the Company (collectively, the “Seller’s Assets”). Vet Online Supply and BrewBilt mutually agree that BrewBilt will assign certain assets and provide the “Know-How” regarding the designing and building of the finest craft brewing equipment in the industry today. As consideration for the IP, fixed assets and the “Know -How”, the Company shall issue, or cause to be issued, $5,000,000 worth of Preferred Series A Stock (PAR $.001) within thirty (30) days from the date of the agreement. The number of Preferred Series A shares to be issued is 500,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share and convertible pursuant the conversion rights as specified in the Articles of Incorporation and certificate of designation for VTNL. BrewBilt has designated that the said stock be issued in the name of its President, Jeffrey Lewis.
The Board of Directors dismissed Daniel Rushford as an officer and director, specifically as the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and Corporate (President) of the Company effective November 22, 2019. Effective November 22, 2019, Daniel Rushford had a new revised Employment Agreement which appointed him as Manager of the CBD Pet Supply Division, a non-director/officer position which includes returning to Treasury 1,000 Preferred Series B Control Shares, and an annual salary of $36,000. Unpaid wages will accrue interest at 6% per annum and may be converted to restricted common stock at fair market value at the time of conversion.
NOTE 4 - PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid fees represent amounts paid in advance for future contractual benefits to be received. Contracting expenses paid in advance are recorded as a prepaid asset and then amortized to the statements of operations when services are rendered, or over the life of the contract using the straight-line method.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:
NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
NOTE 6 - LEASES
The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $423,360 and lease liabilities of $423,360.
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Our current lease has a remaining lease term of four years.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

These instruments were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability, or any net investment in a foreign operation. The instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value will be recognized in earnings until such time as the instruments are exercised, converted, or expire.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2020:
1)Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. We have a single officer and director. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;
2)Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
As of December 31, 2020, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of our evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1.
A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;
2.
Such person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
3.
Such person was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:

Acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;
ii.
Engaging in any type of business practice; or
iii.
Engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of Federal or State securities laws or Federal commodities laws;
4.
Such person was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (3)(i) above, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committee of our Board of Directors. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors does not currently have any member who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost of retaining such a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are a development stage business, we believe the services of an audit committee financial expert are not necessary at this time.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers.
Potential Conflict of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our sole director has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, including his own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our officers or sole director.
Board of Director’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive and operational risks. The Board of Directors dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced at that time. In addition, since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the Board of Directors is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.

On March 1, 2020, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Preferred Series A to Mr. Lewis and $500 was reclassed from liabilities for unissued shares to equity.
On May 22, 2020, Mr. Lewis converted 49,000 Preferred Series A Shares at a price of $10 per share into 70,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.0077 per share. The conversion resulted in a loss of $49,000 which was recorded to the statement of operations.

Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. According to the NASDAQ definition, we have no independent directors.
