New You, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, New You LLC, markets and
sells its products through a multi-level marketing and direct sales opportunity
afforded to independent business owners called "Brand Partners." Commissions are
earned on product sales to Brand Partners and their customers at a rate of 10%
for every transaction, plus a specified spread on recurring sales. Brand
Partners earn a 5% commission on sales by other team members at lower levels up
to nine levels below the Brand Partner. Brand Partners can earn an additional
bonus for customer sales and team sales. The team bonus is $400 for each time
the team bonus volume reaches a certain amount in a 30 day period. Brand
Partners can also earn an initial bonus of 20% of the transaction value for
qualifying Brand Partners in the Brand Partner's first 30 days. There is a risk
that Brand Partners may find it difficult to sell in a network marketing
environment. Brand Partners may also find it difficult to sell CBD related
products due to the uncertainty surrounding FDA regulations of CBD and hemp
related products. Lastly, public perception of CBD products may be negative, as
such products are derived from the Hemp plant. The Company does not hold any
patents or trademarks and, as a result, may be vulnerable to competition from
other companies offering very similar products and product brands The Company
purchases inventory from Carlsbad Naturals, LLC. Carlsbad Naturals, LLC is a
principal shareholder of New You, Inc., and is owned by a principal shareholder
of New You, Inc. As a result, we are dependent on a related party for product
inventory and do not have a broad base of unaffiliated suppliers. The officers
and directors of the Company own 34.27% of the outstanding common shares.
Accordingly, management will have a determinative influence on matters requiring
shareholder approval.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the
United States. We are currently negatively impacted through a reduction in sales
by the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and
changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and continue to monitor its
impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, customer purchasing
trends, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on our employees.
We have concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could
continue to have a negative impact on the results of operations, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Results of Operations
Revenues.For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we generated revenues of
$333,653, a decrease of $197,869 compared to revenues of $531,522 for the three
months ending March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the COVID-19
shutdown. At this stage in our development, revenues are not yet sufficient to
cover ongoing operating expenses.
Gross Profit.Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was
$274,403, a decrease of $175,277 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2020. Our gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was
82%, compared to 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The change in
gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2020 was due to decreased sales of higher margin items
during the period..
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") for the three months ended March 31,
2021 were $2,173,333, an increase of $791,650 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the SG&A expenses
included: (i) a reduction in commission expenses; (ii) a reduction in payroll
expenses; and (iii) and an decrease in other SG&A expenses. Non-cash stock based
compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1,801,619, compared
to $764,916 in stock based compensation for the three months March 31, 2020.

Operating Loss. We realized an operating loss of $1,898,930 before interest and
income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to operating
loss of $932,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Interest Expense. Interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021
was $253,624 compared to $31,933 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The
increase is a reflection of the addition of financing in the current period
versus the prior period ending March 31, 2020.
Net Loss.We incurred a net loss of $877,500 for the three months ended March 31,
2021 compared to net loss of $964,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The primary reason for the decrease in net loss is due to an increase in
operating loss by $966,927 and an increase in interest expense by $221,691,
offset by a gain from the change in the fair value of derivatives by $1,275,854.
Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and
increase revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and had an
accumulated deficit of $8,044,515 at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, we had a
cash balance of $19,196, compared to a cash balance of $45,102 at December 31,
2020. At March 31, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $1,647,715,
compared to a working capital deficit of $2,460,718 at December 31, 2020. The
Company's existing and available capital resources are not expected to be
sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through one year from the date of
this filing in the absence of share issuances or other sources of financing.
We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to
fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through
private sales of preferred stock, common stock, and debt securities.
We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private
financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we
are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We are evaluating
various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced
rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans
and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate
enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations.
Based on the above factors, substantial doubt exists about our ability to
continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial
statements.
The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in
the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming
these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash
commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds
required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be
available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on
commercially reasonable terms.
The effect of existing or probable government regulations on our business is not
known at this time. Due to the nature of our business, it is anticipated that
there may be increasing government regulation that may cause us to have to take
serious corrective actions or make changes to the business plan.
