EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.

• Public Offering Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the public offering of units through the underwriter named on the cover page of this prospectus, which we refer to as Public Offering Prospectus.

• The Resale Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the resale by selling stockholders of (i) 11,999,404 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of series A convertible preferred stock issued to the selling stockholders; (ii) 11,999,404 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to the selling stockholders; (iii) 2,250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of debentures issued to the selling stockholders; (iv) up to an additional 26,248,808 shares of common stock that may be issuable to the selling stockholders upon the occurrence of certain adjustments to the conversion/exercise price of the series A convertible preferred stock, warrants and/or debentures; and (v) 654,376 shares of common stock issuable to the selling stockholders under future equity agreements, which we refer to as the Resale Prospectus.

The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:

• they contain different front covers;

• they contain different Offering sections in the Prospectus Summary;

• they contain different Use of Proceeds sections;

• the Capitalization and Dilution sections are deleted from the Resale Prospectus;

• a Selling Stockholders section is included in the Resale Prospectus;

• the Legal Matters section in the Resale Prospectus deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriter.

The registrant has included in this registration statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus, which we refer to as the Alternate Pages, to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for the public offering by the Registrant. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages and will be used for the resale offering by the selling stockholders.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

DATED JANUARY 14, 2022

Smart for Life, Inc.

1,800,000 Units consisting of:

Common Stock

Series A Warrants

Series B Warrants

__________________

This is an initial public offering of units of our securities. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our common stock. We expect that the initial public offering price will be between $9.00 and $11.00 per unit.

As noted above, we are offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our common stock in this offering would otherwise result in that purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to substitute series B convertible preferred stock for the shares of common stock included in the units purchased by that investor. Each share of series B convertible preferred stock is being sold together with the same warrants described above being sold with each share of common stock. For each share of series B convertible preferred stock purchased in this offering in lieu of common stock, we will reduce the number of shares of common stock being sold in the offering on a one-for-one basis. Pursuant to this prospectus, we are also offering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series B convertible preferred stock.

Each share of series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into one share of our common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the related designation of preferences) at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting series B convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding. However, any holder may increase such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to us. The shares of series B convertible preferred stock will otherwise have the preferences, rights and limitations described under “Description of Securities — Preferred Stock — Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” in this prospectus.

Currently, no public market exists for our common stock. We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “SMFL”. We believe that upon the completion of this offering, we will meet the standards for listing on Nasdaq, and the closing of this offering is contingent upon such listing. We do not intend to apply for any listing of the warrants or series B convertible preferred stock on Nasdaq or any other securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not expect a market to develop for the warrants or the series B convertible preferred stock.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock.”

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Initial public offering price	$	$
Underwriting discounts and commissions(1)	$	$
Proceeds to us, before expenses	$	$

____________

(1) The underwriters will receive compensation in addition to the underwriting discount and commissions. See “Underwriting” beginning on page 116 of this prospectus for additional information regarding underwriting compensation.

We have granted the underwriters an option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 15% of additional shares of common stock and/or series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15% of additional shares of common stock and/or series B warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15% additional shares of common stock, in any combinations thereof, from us at $ per share of common stock, $ per series A warrant and $ per series B warrant, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, for 45 days after the date of this prospectus to cover over-allotments, if any.

Delivery of the securities is expected to be made on or about , 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our securities. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the risks associated with an investment in our company discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

Our Company

Overview

We are engaged in the development, marketing, manufacturing, acquisition, operation and sale of a broad spectrum of nutritional and related products with an emphasis on health and wellness. Structured as a global holding company, we are executing a buy-and-build strategy with serial accretive acquisitions creating a vertically integrated company with an objective of aggregating companies generating a minimum of $300 million in revenues within the next thirty-six months. To drive growth and earnings, we are developing proprietary products as well as acquiring other profitable companies, encompassing brands, manufacturing and distribution channels.

Our Business Model

We are engaged in a comprehensive program to develop a robust pipeline of prospective acquisitions in addition to the companies currently operated by us. Our management has significant experience in locating and evaluating prospective target operating companies. We have also entered into buy-side agreements with certain advisers and consultants to assist management in identifying and evaluating prospective target operating companies. The nutritional products industry is highly fragmented with a large pool of companies generating less than $20 million in revenues representing significant opportunity for industry consolidation.

We plant to acquire target companies utilizing a combination of cash, promissory notes, earnouts and public company stock, generally at 4x to 6x trailing adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization). Aside from our first acquisition described below, we intend on paying no more than 60% cash on any acquisition that we execute with a target of 50%. The remainder is allocated between stock and a note and/or earnout with a heavier weighting toward the former. Although the acquisition consideration is structured, we believe that our acquisitions will provide three distinct benefits to the principals of an acquisition. First, a significant liquidity event. Second, the creation of a significant equity position in an emerging growth public company. Third, ongoing employment at customary industry compensation.

Over the next 24 months, we plan to acquire multiple companies aggregating a minimum of $100 million in annualized revenues with the number of prospective acquisitions in the pipeline representing over $50 million in additional revenue. As of the date of this prospectus, we have determined that none of these prospective acquisitions are probable, within the meaning of Regulation S-X, due to numerous factors, including that we have not yet entered into definitive or other binding agreements, completed our due diligence, obtained board approval or publicly announced the prospective acquisitions, nor are we subject to financial penalties if these prospective acquisitions are not completed.

We do not currently have sufficient capital to complete these acquisitions. We intend to raise capital for additional acquisitions primarily through debt financing at our operating company level, additional equity offerings by our company, or by undertaking a combination of any of the above. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to acquire additional businesses under the terms outlined above or that we will be able to find additional acquisition candidates should we terminate our plans for any of our current acquisition targets.

Our Corporate History

Our company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 2, 2017 under the name Bonne Santé Group, Inc. On August 4, 2021, we changed our name to Smart for Life, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of Doctors Scientific Organica described below.

agreement) is less than $10 per share, then we must issue an additional number of shares of common stock equal to an amount determined by dividing the $425,000 purchase price by the effective offering price per share, minus 42,500. In connection with this acquisition, we also issued 14,723 shares of common stock to certain vendors of GSP who agreed to settle accounts payable owed to them into our common stock.

GSP Nutrition is a sports nutrition company that offers nutritional supplements for athletes and active lifestyle consumers under the Sports Illustrated Nutrition brand.

Our Opportunity

Functional foods are foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition. A familiar example of a functional food is oatmeal because it contains soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels. Some foods are also modified to have health benefits. An example is orange juice that has been fortified with calcium for bone health.

The nutraceutical industry has experienced significant growth across the globe, propelled by the increasing age expectancies and associated increases in diseases of aging and lifestyle. A shift in demographics has also allowed manufacturers to benefit in recent years. The number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to nearly double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060, and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population will rise from 16% to 23%. Moreover, the Council for Responsible Nutrition, or CRN, reported 77% of U.S. adults take dietary supplements. With respect to the types of supplements being taken, CRN’s 2019 survey found that vitamins and minerals continue to be the most commonly consumed supplement category, with 76% of Americans having taken these products in the past twelve months.

According to a study by Grand View Research, Inc., amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for nutraceuticals is projected to grow from $412.7 billion in the year 2020 and reach $722.5 billion by 2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 8.3% over the analysis period. As a specific segment in the overall global nutraceutical market, functional foods accounted for the largest share in 2019 and generated revenue of $187.51 billion on a standalone basis.

The nutraceuticals market in the United States is estimated at $104.5 billion in the year 2021 according to Global Industry Analysts Inc. The U.S. currently accounts for a 34.57% share in the global market. Among the other noteworthy geographic markets are China, Japan and Canada, each forecast to grow at 9.6%, 6.3% and 6.7%, respectively, over the analysis period. Within Europe, Germany is forecast to grow at approximately 7.1% CAGR.

As a result of our acquisition of Nexus, we have also entered the digital marketing industry as a way to promote and sell the products and brands that we sell. Digital marketing is a component of marketing that uses internet and online based digital technologies such as desktop computers, mobile phones and other digital media and platforms to promote products and services.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in people staying at home and/or working remotely from home, resulting in huge increase in online traffic. According to Global Industry Analysis, Inc., a leading publisher of off-the-shelf market research, while overall digital marketing spending declined due the pandemic-induced cuts in marketing and advertising budgets during the lockdown, available budgets are being directed at digital marketing initiatives. As a result, the pandemic is driving changes to digital marketing strategies at companies, especially at companies where digital marketing initiatives had relatively low priority.

According to Global Industry Analysis, Inc., amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for digital advertising and marketing is estimated at $350 billion in the year 2020, and is projected to reach $786.2 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 13.9% over the analysis period. The digital advertising and marketing market in the U.S. is estimated at $155.3 billion in the year 2021. We believe that our market share is currently less than 1%.

Nexus

Nexus operates a cost per action/cost per acquisition network. This is an advertising model where publishers are paid for an action that is taken as a direct result of their marketing. Through the publisher’s method of marketing, Nexus sends traffic to one of the advertiser’s product offers listed on the network. Examples of the publishers marketing tactics include but are not limited to native ads, email marketing, search engine optimization, or SEO, and social media traffic. The products on the network come from several different advertisers which pay Nexus a specific amount per sale. A portion of that sale made is paid out to the publisher. Nexus has established long-term relationships with many advertisers and publishers. Nexus also has internal data streams it utilizes to create email lists and produce sales internally to the multitude of advertiser products on the network. Nexus has created a plug-and-play streamlined business that allows for seamless scalability into any vertical, niche or product.

We believe that Nexus is accretive to our other portfolio companies and allows us access to a broad spectrum of marketing tools to be utilized across the entire spectrum of our products.

Our Competitive Strengths

Based on management’s belief and experience in the industry, we believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively.

• Proprietary manufacturing facilities. Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing and Doctors Scientific Organica own and operate proprietary manufacturing facilities, which allow for a high level of managerial control over all aspects of production, including sourcing, logistics and maintaining the highest levels of quality during the manufacturing process. Through direct ownership, we are able to optimize our sales and marketing practices and provide a completely integrated approach, all solidified by a single manufacturing platform for capsules, tablets, powders and various other delivery methods for all vitamins and supplements. In addition, as a private label contract manufacturer for third parties, we can provide a turnkey solution for brands and retailers who want to minimize their supply chain disruption and maximize their control over product flow to end customers. In addition, as a middle market-sized contract manufacturer, we are not encumbered by the often overly complex processes that our larger competitors may have. We can be nimble and highly adaptable, “flexing” with our customers’ needs as they change over time, which allows us to better service our ever-expanding international client base. We are able to maintain a competitive advantage due to our vertically integrated operational control. This vertical integration also allows us to minimize intellectual property and data security risks, while also eliminating costs, improving focus, optimizing quality and launching with a faster time-to-market for new products. We retain control over every step of the manufacturing processes, allowing us to establish our own institutional advantages and maximize efficiencies.

• Established and trusted brands. Smart for Life, Doctors Scientific Organica and Sports Illustrated Nutrition are well-established brands in the in the health and wellness industry. In particular, Smart for Life products are currently sold in many of the largest big-box retailers in the United States and Canada, including Costco, Walmart, Sam’s Club, BJ’s and Publix, as well as through online channels such as Amazon. Doctors Scientific Organica has established a dedicated following of consumers that are strong believers in the high-quality vitamins and supplements it sells to its customers, along with the eco-friendly and bio-degradable packaging, with Amazon sales numbers continuing to increase as a result. We believe that the Sports Illustrated brand is one of the most recognized brands in sports and athletics. In connection with our acquisition of GSP Nutrition, we acquired a license for the exclusive use of the Sports Illustrated brand (excluding the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand for which we have a right of first offer under the license) for certain dietary and nutritional supplements, in each case to be sold to/through certain approved accounts in the United States and Canada.

Table of Contents

• Client focused innovative research and development. We believe that our research and development team adds significant value to our company and our customers and is a differentiating factor for our company. We strive to be technology driven leveraging technology, science, and innovation in our research and development efforts. We work closely with our clients to create and develop new and exciting products. We frequently work directly with our customers in our research and development labs to create innovative solutions that create value for our customers in a timely manner. Our team works closely with physicians to create novel wholesome products that add nutritional and functional value.

• Ability to market through captive marketing subsidiary. We believe that our subsidiary, Nexus, allows us access to a broad spectrum of marketing tools to be utilized across the entire spectrum of our products. We believe that having an experienced management team and existing customer base accessible to all of our other brands in our portfolio will allow us to drive sales and revenue of existing products as well as test new product offerings generated through our research and development.

• Referral only network based on long term relationships. Nexus operates a referral only network, meaning that all of its publishers are referred. There is no way to get a Nexus account other than being directly referred by a known good account holder. This allows Nexus to stem any fraudulent traffic, which we believe is a substantial competitive advantage for advertisers. Nexus has also established long term relationships with its advertisers and offers competitive bonuses and contests for its affiliate base (publishers) We believe that these factors set Nexus apart from its competition.

Our Growth Strategies

We will strive to grow our business by pursuing the following growth strategies.

• Acquisition of additional businesses. The nutritional products industry is highly fragmented with a large pool of companies generating less than $20 million in revenues representing significant opportunity for industry consolidation. Over the next 24 months, we plan to acquire multiple companies aggregating a minimum of $100 million in annualized revenues with the number of prospective acquisitions in the pipeline representing over $50 million in additional revenue. As of the date of this prospectus, we have determined that none of these prospective acquisitions are probable, within the meaning of Regulation S-X, due to numerous factors, including that we have not yet entered into definitive or other binding agreements, completed our due diligence, obtained board approval or publicly announced the prospective acquisitions, nor are we subject to financial penalties if these prospective acquisitions are not completed. As noted above, we also do not currently have sufficient capital to complete these acquisitions. We intend to raise capital for additional acquisitions primarily through debt financing at our operating company level, additional equity offerings by our company, or by undertaking a combination of any of the above. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. There is no guarantee that we will be able to acquire additional businesses under the terms outlined above or that we will be able to find additional acquisition candidates should we terminate our plans for any of our current acquisition targets.

• Increase sales from existing and new customers. We expect to continue to drive growth for our consumer products branded business through our increased focus on our top brands and continued expansion in various health and wellness categories, which we expect to result in incremental shelf space with existing customers and new customer additions. We expect that our focus on delivering tangible benefits to consumers through product innovation will not only benefit us but also benefit our customers. Our ability to supply both branded and private label products broadens and deepens our partnerships with key retail customers, providing us more opportunities for category leadership and growth. We view the private label business as an important and valuable service that we provide to key accounts.

• Further penetrate international markets. Our products are currently marketed and sold in the United States and Canada. In fiscal 2020, approximately 18% of our sales (on a pro forma combined basis) were to customers outside the United States. We plan to capitalize on our marketing and distribution capabilities

Table of Contents

to drive incremental international sales of our consumer product brands in emerging markets, which are characterized by a rising middle class and a strong demand for high quality nutritional and wellness products from U.S.-based manufacturers.

• Drive productivity through operational efficiencies. We expect to continue to focus on improving efficiency across our operations to allow us to reduce costs in our manufacturing facilities as well as across our overhead cost areas. Our recent acquisition of Doctors Scientific Organica significantly increased our production capacity. In addition, we have launched an initiative to optimize our product portfolio, which we expect will enable further efficiencies across our manufacturing network. We are also introducing new initiatives that leverage automation, standardization and simplification and are expected to increase productivity across our operations.

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic

Starting in late 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, began to rapidly spread around the world and every state in the United States. At this time, there continues to be significant volatility and uncertainty relating to the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it will impact our business, operations and financial results.

Most states and cities have at various times instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules, social distancing measures and restrictions on the types of businesses that could continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it. Based on the nature of the business in our facilities in Doral and Riviera Beach, neither facility closed or operated at reduced capacity for our production and packaging operations. However, the situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and we may be required to close or limit capacity in our facilities in response to guidance from applicable government and public health officials, which could adversely affect our operations and revenues.

In addition, we are dependent upon certain contract manufacturers and suppliers and their ability to reliably and efficiently fulfill our orders is critical to our business success. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact certain of our manufacturers and suppliers. As a result, we have faced and may continue to face delays or difficulty sourcing certain products and raw materials, which could negatively affect our business and financial results. Even if we are able to find alternate sources for such raw materials, they may cost more, which could adversely impact our profitability and financial condition.

The global deterioration in economic conditions, which may have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending, could also impact our business and demand for our products. For instance, consumer spending may be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions, including a rise in unemployment, and decreased consumer confidence resulting from the pandemic. Changing consumer behaviors as a result of the pandemic may also have a material impact on our revenue.

The spread of COVID-19 has also adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in a significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity.

If the COVID-19 pandemic does not continue to slow and the spread of COVID-19 is not contained, our business operations, including those of our contract manufacturers and suppliers, could be further delayed or interrupted. We expect that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could require us to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. We may also experience limitations in employee resources. In addition, our operations could be disrupted if any of our employees were suspected of having COVID-19, which could require quarantine of some or all such employees or closure of our facilities for disinfection. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs.

Table of Contents

and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See also “Risk Factors” for more information.

Our Risks and Challenges

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section immediately following this Prospectus Summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history.

• The COVID-19 pandemic may cause a material adverse effect on our business.

• Our acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, integration and consolidation risks, and we may be unable to profitably operate our consolidated company.

• Our ability to obtain continued financing is critical to the growth of our business. We will need additional financing to fund operations, which additional financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

• Unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our products and any similar products distributed by other companies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

• Our success is linked to the size and growth rate of the vitamin, mineral and supplement market and an adverse change in the size or growth rate of that market could have a material adverse effect on us.

• We operate in highly competitive and fast-evolving industries, and our failure to compete effectively could affect our market share, financial condition and growth prospects adversely.

• Our major customers account for a significant portion of our consolidated net sales and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

• If we experience product recalls, we may incur significant and unexpected costs, and our business reputation could be adversely affected.

• We may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our reputation, revenues and operating income.

• We rely on our manufacturing operations to produce the vast majority of the nutritional supplements that we sell, and disruptions in our manufacturing system or losses of manufacturing certifications could affect our results of operations adversely.

• We are also dependent on certain third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers.

• An increase in the price and shortage of supply of key raw materials could adversely affect our business.

• Our expansion into new business lines and services may result in unseen risks, challenges and uncertainties.

• Privacy protection is increasingly demanding, and we may be exposed to risks and costs associated with security breaches, data loss, credit card fraud and identity theft that could cause us to incur unexpected expenses and loss of revenue, suffer reputational harm with our customers, as well as other risks.

• Assertions by third parties of infringement, misappropriation or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and operating results.

• We may be required to indemnify our vendors and/or customers, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

• Compliance with new and existing laws and governmental regulations could increase our costs significantly and adversely affect our results of operations.

• Our failure to comply with FTC regulations could result in substantial monetary penalties and could adversely affect our operating results.

Table of Contents

• Our operations are subject to environmental and health and safety laws and regulations that may increase our cost of operations or expose us to environmental liabilities.

• Economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations could adversely affect our revenues and international growth prospects.

• We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective.

• We may not be able to satisfy listing requirements of Nasdaq or obtain or maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

• There is no public market for the series A warrants or series B warrants being offered.

• Our management has broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes.

• You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.

• An investment in this offering may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be 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 of 2002, or 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 stockholder 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 chief executive officer’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 of 1933, as amended, or 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 consolidated 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 until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more, (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

The Offering

Units offered by us:

Each unit consists of (i) one share of our common stock (or, at the purchaser’s election, one share of series B convertible preferred stock), (ii) one series A warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ per share (or 70% of the unit offering price), exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, and (iii) one series B warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ per share (or 100% of the unit offering price), exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and subject to certain adjustment and cashless exercise provisions as described herein. Additionally, the holders of series B warrants may exercise such warrants on a “cashless” basis upon the earlier of (i) 10 trading days from the issuance date of such warrant or (ii) the time when $10.0 million of volume is traded in our common stock, if the volume weighted average price, or VWAP, of our common stock on any trading day on or after the date of issuance fails to exceed the exercise price of the series B warrant (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). In such event, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable in such cashless exercise shall equal the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the series B warrant in accordance with its terms if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise and (y) 1.00. The shares of our common stock and the warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately but will be purchased together in this offering.

As noted above, we are offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to substitute series B convertible preferred stock for the shares of common stock included in the units purchased by that investor. This prospectus also relates to the offering of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series B convertible preferred stock.

Each share of series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into one share of our common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the related certificate of designation) at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting the series B convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding. However, any holder may increase such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to us.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of our series B convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares of series B convertible preferred stock if such shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such event (without giving effect for such purposes to any beneficial ownership limitation), subject to the preferential rights of holders of any class or series of our capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the series B convertible preferred stock as to distributions of assets upon such event, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

The holders of the series B convertible preferred stock have no voting rights, except as required by law. Any amendment to our certificate of incorporation that adversely affects the powers, preferences and rights of the series B convertible preferred stock requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of series B convertible preferred stock then outstanding.

Table of Contents

		The holders of our series B convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of series B convertible preferred stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, without giving effect for such purposes to any beneficial ownership limitation) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when such dividends are specifically declared by our board of directors.
Offering price:		We currently estimate that the initial public offering price will be between $9.00 and $11.00 per unit.
Common stock outstanding prior to this offering(1):		13,927,223 shares of common stock.
Common stock outstanding after the offering(1)(2):		20,566,124 shares of common stock (or 20,836,124 shares if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full).
Over-allotment option:		We have granted the underwriters an option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 15% of additional shares of common stock and/or series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15% of additional shares of common stock, and/or series B warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15% of additional shares of common stock, in any combinations thereof, from us at the public offering price per security, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, for 45 days after the date of this prospectus to cover over-allotments, if any. See “Underwriting” for additional information. Because the warrants will not be listed on a national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading market, the underwriters will be unable to satisfy any overallotment of shares and warrants without exercising the underwriters’ overallotment option with respect to the warrants. As a result, the underwriters will exercise their overallotment option for all of the warrants which are over-allotted, if any, at the time of the initial offering of the shares and the warrants. However, because our common stock is publicly traded, the underwriters may satisfy some or all of the overallotment of shares of our common stock, if any, by purchasing shares in the open market and will have no obligation to exercise the overallotment option with respect to our common stock.
Use of proceeds:		We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $15.8 million from this offering, assuming an initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit (which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price shown on the cover page of this prospectus) and no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering to payoff certain debt and for working capital and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds” for more information on the use of proceeds.
Risk factors:		Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. As an investor, you should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 23.
Lock-up:		We and all of our directors and executive officers have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of (i) 12 months after the closing of this offering in the case of our company and (ii) 6 months after the date of this prospectus in the case of our directors and executive officers. See “Underwriting” for more information.
Proposed trading market and symbol:		We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “SMFL.” The closing of this offering is contingent upon such listing. We do not intend to list the warrants or series B convertible preferred stock on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history.

We were organized as a Delaware corporation in February 2017. We have a limited history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in the early stages of development in highly competitive markets, particularly the markets for nutraceuticals and related products. You should consider the frequency with which early-stage businesses encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other adverse factors. These risks are described in more detail below.

We have incurred losses since our inception, and we may not be able to manage our businesses on a profitable basis.

We have generated losses since inception and have relied on cash on hand, sales of securities, external bank lines of credit, and issuance of third-party and related party debt to support our operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred a pro forma operating loss of $5,870,852 and a pro forma net loss of $6,197,950, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a pro forma operating loss of $3,666,722 and a pro forma net loss of $6,295,176. We cannot assure you that we will achieve profitably or that we will have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due, especially given that we will incur additional expenses relating to becoming a public reporting company. Management believes that our success will depend on our ability to successfully complete additional acquisitions of profitable nutraceutical companies and related products as well as develop our own brands. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in completing acquisitions or any other companies or products, that we will successfully integrate acquired companies, or that we will be able to successfully develop our own brands. We cannot assure you that even if we are successful in completing the acquisitions or in developing our own branded products, we will be successful in profitably managing such companies, acquired assets and brands. We cannot assure you that we will maintain profitability for any period of time or that investors will not lose their entire investment.

The COVID-19 pandemic may cause a material adverse effect on our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. At this time, there continues to be significant volatility and uncertainty relating to the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it will impact our business, operations and financial results.

Table of Contents

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this prospectus, including the effectiveness of vaccines and other treatments for COVID-19, and other new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

If we fail to implement our business plan and complete acquisitions as planned, our mission will fail and our business will suffer accordingly.

Our mission is the creation of a world-class nutraceutical company engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of quality nutraceutical and related health and lifestyle products for distribution to an expanding global marketplace. We expect that our holding company strategy through which we plan to acquire profitable but undervalued target companies and products will enable us to accelerate the development and expansion of our product portfolio, manufacturing capacity and distribution channels. If we are unable execute our strategy of completing acquisitions as planned, we will not be able to fulfill our mission or grow our business.

Our acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, integration and consolidation risks, and we may be unable to profitably operate our consolidated company.

We are structured as a holding company and we have executed a buy and hold strategy. We are engaged in the business of acquisition, operation and management of nutraceutical and related products. Our acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses and present new risks associated with entering additional markets or offering new products and services and integrating the acquired companies. We may not have sufficient management, financial and other resources to integrate companies we acquire or to successfully operate new businesses and we may be unable to profitably operate our expanded company. Moreover, any new businesses that we may acquire, once integrated with our existing operations, may not produce expected or intended results.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to manage future growth effectively.

We expect to continue to experience significant growth. Should we keep growing rapidly, our financial, management and operating resources may not expand sufficiently to adequately manage our growth. If we are unable to manage our growth, our costs may increase disproportionately, our future revenues may not grow or may decline, and we may face dissatisfied customers. Our failure to manage our growth may adversely impact our business and the value of your investment.

Our ability to obtain continued financing is critical to the growth of our business. We will need additional financing to fund operations, which additional financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

Our future growth, including the potential for future market expansion will require additional capital. We will consider raising additional funds through various financing sources, including the procurement of commercial debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to execute our growth strategy, and operating results may be adversely affected. Any additional debt financing will increase expenses and must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility.

Our ability to obtain financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, are not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to decrease the pace of, or eliminate, our future product offerings and market expansion opportunities and potentially curtail operations.

Unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our products and any similar products distributed by other companies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We believe the nutritional supplement market is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of nutritional supplements generally, as well as of products distributed specifically by us. Consumer perception of our products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, national media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of nutritional supplements. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the nutritional supplement market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favorable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on us, the demand for our products, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of nutritional supplements in general, or our products specifically, or associating the consumption of nutritional supplements with illness, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.

Our success is linked to the size and growth rate of the vitamin, mineral and supplement market and an adverse change in the size or growth rate of that market could have a material adverse effect on us.

An adverse change in size or growth rate of the vitamin, mineral and supplement market could have a material adverse effect on us. Underlying market conditions are subject to change based on economic conditions, consumer preferences, the impact of COVID-19 and other factors that are beyond our control, including media attention and scientific research, which may be positive or negative.

General economic conditions, including a prolonged macroeconomic downturn, may negatively affect consumer purchases, which could adversely affect our sales, as well as our ability to access credit on terms previously obtained.

Our results are dependent on a number of factors impacting consumer spending, including general economic and business conditions; consumer confidence; wages and employment levels; the housing market; consumer debt levels; availability of consumer credit; credit and interest rates; fuel and energy costs; energy shortages; taxes; and general political conditions, both domestic and abroad. Consumer product purchases, including purchases of our products, may decline during recessionary periods. A prolonged downturn or an uncertain outlook in the economy may materially adversely affect our business, revenues and profits and the market price of our common stock, and we cannot be certain that funding for our capital needs will be available from our existing financial institutions and the credit markets if needed, and if available, to the extent required and on acceptable terms. If we cannot obtain funding when needed, in each case on acceptable terms, we may be unable to adequately fund our operating expenses and fund required capital expenditures, which may have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

We operate in highly competitive and fast-evolving industries, and our failure to compete effectively could affect our market share, financial condition and growth prospects adversely.

The markets in which we operate are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions, established and emerging competition, extensive intellectual property disputes and litigation, price competition, aggressive marketing practices, evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies operating in rapidly changing and competitive markets.

The nutritional supplement industry is a large and growing industry and is highly fragmented in terms of both geographical market coverage and product categories. The market for nutritional supplements is highly competitive in all our channels of distribution. We compete with companies that may have broader product lines or larger sales volumes, or both, than we do, and our products compete with nationally advertised brand name products. These national brand companies have resources greater than ours. Numerous companies compete with us in the development, manufacture and marketing of nutritional supplements worldwide. The market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. We also may face competition from low-cost entrants to the industry, including from international markets. Increased competition from companies that distribute through the wholesale channel, especially the private label market, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as these competitors may have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities far greater than ours. We are also subject to competition in the attraction and retention of employees. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and can offer employees compensation packages with which it is difficult for us to compete.

As a result of our acquisition of Nexus, we have also entered the digital marketing industry as a way to promote and sell the products and brands that we sell. We compete with other advertising service providers that may reach our target audience by means that are more effective than our services. Further, if such other providers of advertising have a long operating history, large product and service suites, more capital resources and broad international or local recognition, our operating results may be adversely affected if we cannot successfully compete.

The digital advertising market is rapidly developing. Accordingly, the development of the markets in which we operate makes it difficult to evaluate the viability and sustainability of our business and its acceptance by advertisers and clients. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable every year. We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we expand. Any significant failure to realize anticipated revenue growth could result in operating losses.

We may not be able to compete effectively in some or all our markets, and our attempt to do so may require us to reduce our prices, which may result in lower margins. Failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our market share, business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.

Our major customers account for a significant portion of our consolidated net sales and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

During fiscal 2020 and 2019, Amazon, individually, accounted for 28% and 24% of Doctors Scientific Organica’s net sales, respectively, and 16% and 15% of our pro forma combined net sales, respectively. Additionally, for fiscal 2020, our other significant customer, Costco, individually accounted for 30% of the net sales and 18% of our pro forma combined net sales.

Table of Contents

During fiscal 2020 and 2019, Nexus had four and two significant customers representing a total of 54% and 21% of net sales, respectively, and 17% and 5% of our pro forma combined net sales, respectively.

We do not have a long-term contract with any major customer, and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, our results of operations and ability to service our debt obligations would be impacted negatively to the extent that any major customer is unable to make payments to us or does not make timely payments on outstanding accounts receivables.

Failure to develop new products and production technologies or to implement productivity and cost reduction initiatives successfully may harm our competitive position.

Our business depends significantly on the development of commercially viable new products as well as process technologies. If we are unsuccessful in developing new products and production processes in the future, our competitive position and results of operations may be negatively affected. However, as we invest in new technology, we face the risk of unanticipated operational or commercialization difficulties, including an inability to obtain necessary permits or governmental approvals, the development of competing technologies, failure of facilities or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, construction delays, cost over-runs, the unavailability of financing, required materials or equipment and various other factors. Likewise, our initiatives to improve productivity and performance and to generate cost savings may not be completed or beneficial or the estimated cost savings from such activities may not be realized.

Resources devoted to product innovation may not yield new products that achieve commercial success.

The development of new and innovative products requires significant investment in research and development and testing of new ingredients, formulas and possibly new production processes. The research and development process can be expensive and prolonged and entails considerable uncertainty. Products may appear promising in development but fail to reach market within the expected time frame, or at all. We may face significant challenges with regard to a key product launch. Further, products also may fail to achieve commercial viability due to pricing competitiveness with other retailers, failure to timely bring the product to market, failure to differentiate the product with our competitors and other reasons. Finally, there is no guarantee that our development teams will be able to successfully respond to competitive products that could render some of our offerings obsolete. Development of a new product, from discovery through testing to the store shelf, typically takes between four to seven months, but may require an even longer timeline if clinical trials are involved. Each of these time periods can vary considerably from product to product and therefore the costs and risks of producing a commercially viable product can increase significantly as time passes.

Our failure to appropriately respond to changing consumer preferences and demand for new products and services could harm our customer relationships and product sales significantly.

The nutritional supplement industry is characterized by rapid and frequent changes in demand for products and new product introductions. Our failure to accurately predict these trends could negatively impact consumer opinion of us as a source for the latest products, which, in turn, could harm our customer relationships and cause decreases in our net sales. The success of our new product offerings depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

• accurately anticipate customer needs;

• innovate and develop new products;

• successfully commercialize new products in a timely manner;

• price our products competitively;

• manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and in a timely manner; and

• differentiate our product offerings from those of our competitors.

If any new products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatory requirements or have quality problems, this would harm our results of operations. If we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to meet the changing needs of our customers in a timely manner, some of our products could be rendered obsolete, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Table of Contents

If we experience product recalls, we may incur significant and unexpected costs, and our business reputation could be adversely affected.

We may be exposed to product recalls and adverse public relations if our products are mislabeled or alleged to cause injury or illness, or if we are alleged to have violated governmental regulations. A product recall could result in substantial and unexpected expenditures, which would reduce operating profit and cash flow. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Product recalls may hurt the value of our brands and lead to decreased demand for our products. Product recalls also may lead to increased scrutiny by federal, state or international regulatory agencies of our operations and increased litigation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our reputation, revenues and operating income.

As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed for human consumption, we are subject to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury. Our products consist of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and other ingredients that are classified as foods and dietary supplements, and, in most cases, are not necessarily subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the United States. Some of our products contain innovative ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these ingredients could occur. In addition, some of the products we sell are produced by third-party manufacturers. As a marketer of products manufactured by third parties, we also may be liable for various product liability claims for products we do not manufacture. We have been in the past, and may be in the future, subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products include inadequate instructions for use or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. A product liability claim against us could result in increased costs and could adversely affect our reputation with our customers, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Insurance coverage, even where available, may not be sufficient to cover losses we may incur.

Our business exposes us to the risk of liabilities arising from our operations. For example, we may be liable for claims brought by users of our products or by employees, customers or other third parties for personal injury or property damage occurring in the course of our operations. We seek to minimize these risks through various insurance contracts from third-party insurance carriers. However, our insurance coverage is subject to large individual claim deductibles, individual claim and aggregate policy limits, and other terms and conditions. We retain an insurance risk for the deductible portion of each claim and for any gaps in insurance coverage. We do not view insurance, by itself, as a material mitigant to these business risks.

We cannot assure that our insurance will be sufficient to cover our losses. Any losses that insurance does not substantially cover could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We rely on our manufacturing operations to produce the vast majority of the nutritional supplements that we sell, and disruptions in our manufacturing system or losses of manufacturing certifications could affect our results of operations adversely.

We currently operate manufacturing facilities in Doral and Riviera Beach, Florida. All our domestic and foreign operations manufacturing products for sale to the United States are subject to good manufacturing practices, or GMPs, promulgated by the FDA and other applicable regulatory standards, including in the areas of environmental protection and worker health and safety. Any significant disruption in our operations at any of these facilities, including any disruption due to any regulatory requirement, could affect our ability to respond quickly to changes in consumer demand and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additionally, we may be exposed to risks relating to the transfer of work between facilities or risks associated with opening new facilities or closing existing facilities that may cause a disruption in our operations. Although we have implemented GMPs in our facilities, there can be no assurance that products manufactured in our plants will not be contaminated or otherwise fail to meet our quality standards. Any such contamination or other quality failures could result in costly recalls, litigation, regulatory actions or damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Table of Contents

We are also dependent on certain third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers.

Some of our own brand of vitamins and supplements, as well as the products we sell under the Sports Illustrated Nutrition brand, are produced by third party contract manufacturers. We also purchase certain important ingredients and raw materials from third-party suppliers. The principal raw materials required in our operations are vitamins, minerals, herbs, gelatin and packaging components. Real or perceived quality control problems with products manufactured by contract manufacturers or raw materials outsourced from certain suppliers could negatively impact consumer confidence in our products, or expose us to liability. In addition, disruption in the operations of any such manufacturer or supplier or material increases in the price of raw materials, for any reason, such as changes in economic and political conditions, tariffs, trade disputes, regulatory requirements, import restrictions, loss of certifications, power interruptions, fires, hurricanes, drought or other climate-related events, war or other events, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Natural disasters (whether or not caused by climate change), unusually adverse weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks, terrorist acts and global political events could cause permanent or temporary facility closures, impair our ability to purchase, receive or replenish raw materials or cause customer traffic to decline, all of which could result in lost sales and otherwise adversely affect our financial performance.

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, floods and earthquakes (whether or not caused by climate change), unusually adverse weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks (including the recent outbreak of COVID-19), terrorist acts or disruptive global political events, such as civil unrest in locations where our facilities, contract manufacturers or suppliers are located, or similar disruptions could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. To the extent these events result in the closure of one or more of our manufacturing facilities or our corporate headquarters, or impact one or more of our contract manufacturers or key suppliers, our operations and financial performance could be materially adversely affected through lost sales. In addition, these events could result in increases in fuel (or other energy) prices or a fuel shortage, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, the temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of products from some local and overseas suppliers, the temporary disruption in the transport of goods from overseas, delay in the delivery of goods to our customers, the temporary reduction in the availability of our products, expiration of inventory, future long-lived asset impairment charges and disruption to our information systems. These events also could have indirect consequences, such as increases in the cost of insurance, if they were to result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage.

An increase in the price and shortage of supply of key raw materials could adversely affect our business.

Our products are composed of certain key raw materials. If the prices of these raw materials were to increase significantly, the costs to manufacture our products or to purchase products from our contract manufacturers could increase significantly and we may not be able to pass on such increases to our customers. Additionally, in the event any of our, or our contract manufacturer’s, third-party suppliers or vendors become unable or unwilling to continue to provide raw materials in the required volumes and quality levels or in a timely manner, we, or our contract manufacturers, would be required to identify and obtain acceptable replacement supply sources. If we, or they, are unable to identify and obtain alternative supply sources in a timely manner or at all, our business could be adversely affected. A significant increase in the price of raw materials that cannot be passed on to customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Events such as COVID-19, the threat of political or social unrest, or the perceived threat thereof, may also have a significant impact on raw material prices and transportation costs for our products. In addition, the interruption in supply of certain key raw materials essential to the manufacturing of our products may have an adverse impact on us and our suppliers’ ability to provide us with the necessary products needed to maintain our customer relationships and an adequate level of sales.

General trade tensions between the U.S. and China have been escalating since 2018, with multiple rounds of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods taking effect, with some subsequently being de-escalated. Furthermore, China or other countries may institute retaliatory trade measures in response to existing or future tariffs imposed by the U.S. that could have a negative impact on our business. If any of these events continue as described, we may need to seek alternative suppliers or vendors, raise prices, or make changes to our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Our expansion into new business lines and services may result in unseen risks, challenges and uncertainties.

As a result of our acquisition of Nexus in November 2021, we have entered the digital marketing business as a way to promote and sell the products and brands that we sell. Such acquisition may result in unseen risks, challenges and uncertainties. We may incur additional capital expenditure to support the expansion of our business and there is no guarantee that we may increase our revenues generated from such new business. Also, our failure to manage costs and expenses and evaluate consumer demands with respect to such new business could materially and adversely affect the prospects of us achieving overall profitability of and recouping our investments in this new business line. Moreover, this new business line may require significant managerial, financial, operational and other resources, as well as the smooth cooperation with our company. We may also face higher regulatory, legal and counterparty risks from entering this business. If we fail to manage the development of this new business line successfully, our growth potential, business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Declines in foot traffic, rising real estate prices and other costs and risks relating to operating a brick and mortar retail store could affect our results.

The success of our retail store is affected by (1) the location of the store; (2) surrounding tenants or vacancies; (3) increased competition in the area where the store is located; (4) the amount spent on advertising and promotion to attract consumers to the store; and (5) a shift towards online shopping resulting in a decrease in retail store traffic. Declines in consumer traffic could have a negative impact on our net sales and could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, declines in traffic could result in store impairment charges if expected future cash flows of the related asset group do not exceed the carrying value.

We rent this store under a three-year lease agreement ending in September 2024. If we fail to negotiate appropriate terms for new leases or lease renewals, we may incur lease costs that are excessive and cause operating margins to be below acceptable levels. We may also make term commitments that are too long or too short, without the option to exit early or extend. Factors such as the condition of local property markets, availability of lease financing, taxes, zoning and environmental issues, and competitive actions may impact the availability of, and our ability to successfully negotiate, leases. Furthermore, the success of the store depends on a number of factors, including the success of the shopping center where our store is located, consumer demographics and consumer shopping patterns. These factors cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. If we fail to profitably operate this new store, our financial performance could be adversely affected.

Our success is dependent on the accuracy, reliability, and proper use of sophisticated and dependable information processing systems and management information technology and any interruption in these systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success is dependent on the accuracy, reliability, and proper use of sophisticated and dependable information processing systems and management information technology. Our information technology systems are designed and selected to facilitate order entry and customer billing, maintain customer records, accurately track purchases, manage accounting, finance and manufacturing operations, generate reports, and provide customer service and technical support. Any interruption in these systems or any interruption associated with the transition of these systems to a new information technology platform could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

System interruptions or security breaches may affect sales.

Customer access to, and ability to use, our websites affects our sales. If we are unable to maintain and continually enhance the efficiency of our systems, we could experience system interruptions or delays that could affect our operating results negatively. In addition, we could be liable for breaches of security on our websites, loss or misuse of our customers’ personal information or payment data. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect consumer information and prevent fraudulent credit card transactions and other security breaches, failure to prevent or mitigate such fraud or breaches may negatively affect our operating results.

Table of Contents

We must successfully maintain and/or upgrade our information technology systems, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We rely on various information technology systems to manage our operations. Recently, we have implemented, and we continue to implement, modifications and upgrades to such systems and acquired new systems with new functionality. These types of activities subject us to inherent costs and risks associated with replacing and changing these systems, including impairment of our ability to fulfill customer orders, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, retention of sufficiently skilled personnel to implement and operate the new systems, demands on management time and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to or integrating new systems into our current systems. These implementations, modifications and upgrades may not result in productivity improvements at a level that outweighs the costs of implementation, or at all. In addition, the difficulties with implementing new technology systems may cause disruptions in our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Privacy protection is increasingly demanding, and we may be exposed to risks and costs associated with security breaches, data loss, credit card fraud and identity theft that could cause us to incur unexpected expenses and loss of revenue, suffer reputational harm with our customers, as well as other risks.

The protection of customer, employee, vendor and other business data is critical to us. We receive confidential customer data, including payment card and personally identifiable information, in the normal course of customer transactions. In order for our sales channels to function, we and other parties involved in processing customer transactions must be able to transmit confidential information, including credit card information, securely over public networks. While we have taken significant steps to protect customer and confidential information, the intentional or negligent actions of employees, business associates or third parties may undermine our security measures and result in unauthorized parties obtaining access to our data systems and misappropriating confidential data. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will prevent a compromise of our customer transaction processing capabilities and personal data. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, disable, degrade, or sabotage systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Any compromise of our data security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws or standards, significant legal and financial exposure beyond the scope or limits of our insurance coverage, interruption of our operations, increased operating costs associated with remediation, equipment acquisitions or disposal, added personnel, and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could harm our business or investor confidence. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information could attract a substantial amount of media attention, damage our reputation, expose us to risk of litigation and material liability, disrupt our operations and harm our business.

Federal, state, provincial and international laws and regulations govern the collection, retention, sharing and security of data that we receive from and about our employees, customers and vendors. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy has been increasingly demanding in recent years, including the recent implementation of the California Consumer Privacy Act. In Canada, we are subject to Canada’s Personal Information and Protection of Electronic Documents Act, which provides Canadian residents with privacy protections and sets out rules for how companies may collect, use and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, these and other international data privacy and security laws may limit our business and services and could have a materially adverse impact on our business.

We believe that we are in material compliance with all laws, regulations and self-regulatory regimes that are applicable to us. However, the laws, regulations, and self-regulatory regimes may be modified, and new laws may be enacted in the future that may apply to us and affect our business. Further, data protection authorities may interpret existing laws in new ways. We may deploy new services from time to time, which may also require us to change our compliance practices. Any such developments (or developments stemming from enactment or modification of other laws) or the failure to anticipate accurately the application or interpretation of these laws could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity, increase our future compliance costs, make our products and services less attractive to our customers, or cause us to change or limit our business practices, and materially affect our business and operating results. Further, any failure or perceived failure by us or third-party service providers to comply with international data privacy and security laws may lead to regulatory enforcement actions, fines, private lawsuits or reputational damage.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights.

We regard our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, proprietary technologies, domain names and similar intellectual property as important to our success. We rely on trademark, copyright and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with our future employees, consultants, vendors, customers and others to protect our proprietary rights. Many of the trademarks that we use contain words or terms having a somewhat common usage and, as a result, we may have difficulty registering them in certain jurisdictions. We have not yet obtained registrations for our most important marks. If other companies have registered or have been using in commerce similar trademarks for products similar to ours, we may have difficulty in registering, or enforcing an exclusive right to use, our marks.

There can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our proprietary rights will be sufficient or effective, that any pending or future patent and trademark applications will lead to issued patents and registered trademarks in all instances, that others will not develop or patent similar or superior technologies, products, or that our patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or infringed by others. Additionally, the intellectual property laws and enforcement practices of other countries in which our product is or may in the future be offered may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use, our brand image may be harmed, and our business and results of operations may suffer.

Assertions by third parties of infringement, misappropriation or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and operating results.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation involving intellectual property rights in many technology-based industries. Any infringement, misappropriation or related claims, whether or not meritorious, is time-consuming, diverts technical and management personnel and is costly to resolve. As a result of any such dispute, we may have to develop non-infringing technology, pay damages, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, cease providing our product or take other actions to resolve the claims. These actions, if required, may be costly or unavailable on terms acceptable to us. Any of these events could result in increases in operating expenses, limit our product offerings or result in a loss of business.

We may be required to indemnify our vendors and/or customers, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We provide certain rights of indemnification to our vendors and/or customers in certain circumstances. If any plaintiff is successful in certifying a class and thereafter prevailing on the merits of their complaint, such an adverse result could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, due to the nature and scope of the indemnity and defense we will likely need to provide, the legal fees associated with such indemnification could be significant enough to have a material adverse effect on our cash flows until such matters are fully and finally resolved.

Compliance with new and existing laws and governmental regulations could increase our costs significantly and adversely affect our results of operations.

The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of our products are subject to federal laws and regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or the CPSC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or the USDA, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA. These activities are also regulated by various state, local and international laws and agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. Government regulations may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of our products, which could result in lost revenues and increased costs to us. For instance, the FDA regulates, among other things, the composition, safety, manufacture, labeling and marketing of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary ingredients for human use). Dietary supplements and dietary ingredients that do not comply with FDA’s regulations and/or the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 will be deemed adulterated or misbranded. Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded, and the FDA may take enforcement action against any adulterated or misbranded dietary supplement on the market. The FDA has broad enforcement powers. If we violate applicable regulatory requirements, the FDA may bring enforcement actions against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The FDA may not accept the

Table of Contents

evidence of safety for any new ingredient that we may wish to market, may determine that a particular supplement or ingredient presents an unacceptable health risk based on the required submission of serious adverse events or other information, and may determine that a particular claim or statement of nutritional value that we use to support the marketing of a supplement is an impermissible drug claim, is not substantiated, or is an unauthorized version of a “health claim.” See “Business — Regulation — Food and Drug Administration” for additional information. Any of these actions could prevent us from marketing particular nutritional supplement products or making certain claims or statements with respect to those products. The FDA could also require us to remove a particular product from the market. Any future recall or removal would result in additional costs to us, including lost revenues from any products that we are required to remove from the market, any of which could be material. Any product recalls or removals could also lead to an increased risk of litigation and liability, substantial costs, and reduced growth prospects.

Additional or more stringent laws and regulations of dietary supplements and other products have been considered from time to time. These developments could require reformulation of some products to meet new standards, recalls or discontinuance of some products not able to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of some products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific substantiation, or other new requirements. Any of these developments could increase our costs significantly. In addition, regulators’ evolving interpretation of existing laws could have similar effects.

Our failure to comply with FTC regulations could result in substantial monetary penalties and could adversely affect our operating results.

The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of dietary supplements and requires that all advertising to consumers be truthful and non-misleading. The FTC actively monitors the dietary supplement space and has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for the use of false or misleading advertising claims. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial monetary penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our operations are subject to environmental and health and safety laws and regulations that may increase our cost of operations or expose us to environmental liabilities.

We are subject, directly or indirectly, to numerous federal, state, local and foreign environmental and health and safety laws and regulations governing our operations, including the handling, transportation and disposal of our non-hazardous and hazardous substances and wastes, as well as emissions and discharges from our operations into the environment, including discharges to air, surface water and groundwater. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in costs for remedial actions, penalties or the imposition of other liabilities. New laws, changes in existing laws or the interpretation thereof, or the development of new facts or changes in their processes could also cause us to incur additional capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations and environmental permits. Any failure by us to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements could result in the limitation or suspension of our operations, including operations at our manufacturing facility. We also could incur monetary fines, civil or criminal sanctions, third-party claims or cleanup or other costs as a result of violations of or liabilities under such requirements.

We also are subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment without regard to fault or knowledge about the condition or action causing the liability. Under certain of these laws and regulations, such liabilities can be imposed for cleanup of previously owned or operated properties, or for properties to which substances or wastes that were sent in connection with current or former operations at our facilities. The presence of contamination from such substances or wastes could also adversely affect our ability to sell or lease our properties, or to use them as collateral for financing.

Failure to comply with federal, state and international privacy, data protection, marketing and consumer protection laws, regulations and industry standards, or the expansion of current or the enactment or adoption of new privacy, data protection, marketing and consumer protection laws, regulations or industry standards, could adversely affect our business.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and foreign laws, regulations and industry standards regarding privacy, data protection, data security, marketing and consumer protection, which address the collection, storing, sharing, using, processing, disclosure and protection of data relating to individuals, as well as the tracking of consumer behavior

Table of Contents

and other consumer data. We are also subject to laws, regulations and industry standards relating to endorsements and influencer marketing. Many of these laws, regulations and industry standards are changing and may be subject to differing interpretations, are costly to comply with or inconsistent among jurisdictions. For example, the FTC expects companies like ours to comply with guidelines issued under the Federal Trade Commission Act that govern the collection, use, disclosure, and storage of consumer information, and establish principles relating to notice, consent, access and data integrity and security. The laws and regulations in many foreign countries relating to privacy, data protection, data security, marketing and consumer protection often are more restrictive than in the United States, and may in some cases be interpreted to have a greater scope. Additionally, the laws, regulations and industry standards, both foreign and domestic, relating to privacy, data protection, data security, marketing and consumer protection are dynamic and may be expanded or replaced by new laws, regulations or industry standards.

We strive to comply with applicable laws, policies, contractual and other legal obligations and certain applicable industry standards of conduct relating to privacy, data security, data protection, marketing and consumer protection. However, these obligations and standards of conduct often are complex, vague, and difficult to comply with fully, and it is possible that these obligations and standards of conduct may be interpreted and applied in new ways and/or in a manner that is inconsistent with each other or that new laws, regulations or other obligations may be enacted. It is possible that our practices may be argued or held to conflict with applicable laws, policies, contractual or other legal obligations, or applicable industry standards of conduct relating to privacy, data security, data protection, marketing or consumer protection. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, FTC, other regulatory requirements or orders or other federal, state or, as we continue to expand internationally, international privacy, data security, data protection, marketing or consumer protection-related laws, regulations, contractual obligations or self-regulatory principles or other industry standards could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities or could result in a loss of consumers. Any of these circumstances could adversely affect our business.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. For instance, with the increased focus on the use of data for advertising, the anticipation and expectation of future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could impact us. In addition, as we expand our data analytics and other data related product offerings there may be increased scrutiny on our use of data and we may be subject to new and unexpected regulations. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could, for example, impair our ability to collect or use information that we utilize to provide targeted digital promotions and media to consumers, thereby impairing our ability to maintain and grow our total customers and increase revenues. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing or disclosure of our users’ data or additional requirements for express or implied consent of users for the use and disclosure of such information could require us to modify our solutions, possibly in a material manner, and could limit our ability to develop or outright prohibit new solutions and features. Any such new laws, regulations, other legal obligations or industry standards, or any changed interpretation of existing laws, regulations or other standards may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations. If our measures fail to comply with current or future laws, regulations, policies, legal obligations or industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, data security, marketing or consumer protection, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, fines or other liabilities, as well as negative publicity and a potential loss of business. Moreover, if future laws, regulations, other legal obligations or industry standards, or any changed interpretations of the foregoing limit our ability to store, process and share personally identifiable information or other data, demand for our products could decrease, our costs could increase, our revenue growth could slow, and our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

We are exposed to potential liability for information on our customers’ websites and for products and services sold through their websites and we may incur significant costs and damage to our reputation as a result of defending against such potential liability.

We are exposed to potential liability for information on our customers’ websites. We could be exposed to liability with respect to such third-party information such as their products, links to third-party websites, advertisements and content provided by customers. Among other things, we may face assertions that, by directly or indirectly providing such third-party content or links to other websites, we should be liable for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, or other actions by parties providing such content or operating those websites. We may also face assertions that content on our publishers and advertisers’ websites, including statistics or other data we compile

Table of Contents

internally, or information contained in websites linked to our websites contains false information, errors or omissions, and users and our customers could seek damages for losses incurred as a result of their reliance upon or otherwise relating to incorrect information. We may also be subject to fines and other sanctions by the government for such incorrect information. In addition, our services could be used as a platform for fraudulent transactions and third party products and services sold through us may be defective. The measures we take to guard against liability for third-party content, information, products and services may not be adequate to exonerate us from relevant civil and other liabilities.

Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend and result in litigation and significant diversion of management’s attention and resources. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, we could incur significant costs in investigating and defending against these claims and suffer damage to our reputation.

If the use of third-party cookies or other tracking technology is rejected by Internet users, restricted by third parties outside of our control, or otherwise subject to unfavorable regulation, our performance could decline and we could lose customers and revenue.

We use a number of technologies to collect information about our customers. For instance, we use small text files (referred to as “cookies”), placed through an Internet browser on an Internet user’s machine which corresponds to a data set that we keep on our servers, to gather important data. Our cookies collect anonymous information, such as when an Internet user views an advertisement, clicks on an advertisement, or visits one of our advertisers’ websites. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area, this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws. On mobile devices, we may also obtain location-based information about the user’s device through our cookies or other tracking technologies. We use these technologies to achieve our campaign goals, to ensure that the same Internet user does not unintentionally see the same media too frequently, to report aggregate information regarding the performance of our digital promotions and marketing campaigns, and to detect and prevent fraudulent activity throughout our network.

Cookies may easily be deleted or blocked by Internet users. All of the most commonly used Internet browsers (including Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari) allow Internet users to prevent cookies from being accepted by their browsers. Internet users can also delete cookies from their computers at any time. Some Internet users also download “ad blocking” software that prevents cookies from being stored on a user’s computer. If more Internet users adopt these settings or delete their cookies more frequently than they currently do, our business could be harmed. In addition, the Safari and Firefox browsers blocks third-party cookies by default, and other browsers may do so in the future. Unless such default settings in browsers were altered by Internet users to permit the placement of third-party cookies, we would be able to set fewer of our cookies in users’ browsers, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, companies such as Google have publicly disclosed their intention to move away from cookies to another form of persistent unique identifier, or ID, to identify individual Internet users or Internet-connected devices in the bidding process on advertising exchanges. If companies do not use shared IDs across the entire ecosystem, this could have a negative impact on our ability to find the same anonymous user across different web properties, and reduce the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

In addition, in the European Union, or EU, Directive 2009/136/EC, commonly referred to as the “Cookie Directive,” directs EU member states to ensure that collecting information on an Internet user’s computer, such as through a cookie, is allowed only if the Internet user has appropriately given his or her prior freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent. Similarly, this Directive which also contains specific rules for the sending of marketing communications, limits the use of marketing texts messages and e-mails. Additionally, an e-Privacy Regulation, which will replace the Cookie Directive with requirements that could be stricter in certain respects, apply directly to activities within the EU without the need to be transposed in each member state’s law, and could impose stricter requirements regarding the use of cookies and marketing e-mails and text messages and additional penalties for noncompliance, has been proposed, although at this time it is unclear whether it will be approved as it is currently drafted or when its requirements will be effective. We may experience challenges in obtaining appropriate consent to our use of cookies from consumers or to send marketing communications to consumers within the EU, which may affect our ability to run promotions and our operating results and business in European markets, and we may not be able to develop or implement additional tools that compensate for the lack of data associated with cookies. Moreover, even if we are able to do so, such additional tools may be subject to further regulation, time consuming to develop or costly to obtain, and less effective than our current use of cookies.

Economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations could adversely affect our revenues and international growth prospects.

On August 24, 2021, we established Smart for Life Canada Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary of Doctors Scientific Organica in Canada. This subsidiary sells retail products through a retail store location in Montreal Canada and the same location also acts as distribution center for our international direct to consumer and big box customers. We maintain inventory and employees at this location. We have sales outside of the United States. For fiscal 2020, international sales represented approximately 18% of our net sales (on a pro forma combined basis). We intend to expand our international presence as part of our business strategy. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks inherent to operating in foreign countries, and any expansion of our international operations will amplify the effects of these risks, which include, among others:

• differences in culture, economic and labor conditions and practices;

• the policies of the U.S. and foreign governments;

• disruptions in trade relations and economic instability;

• differences in enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights;

• social and political unrest;

• natural disasters, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other catastrophic events;

• complex, varying and changing government regulations and legal standards and requirements, particularly with respect to tax regulations, price protection, competition practices, export control regulations and restrictions, customs and tax requirements, immigration, anti-boycott regulations, data privacy, intellectual property, anti-corruption and environmental compliance, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

• greater difficulty enforcing intellectual property rights and weaker laws protecting such rights; and

• greater difficulty in accounts receivable collections and longer collection periods;

We are also affected by domestic and international laws and regulations applicable to companies doing business abroad or importing and exporting goods and materials. These include tax laws, laws regulating competition, anti-bribery/anti-corruption and other business practices, and trade regulations, including duties and tariffs. Compliance with these laws is costly, and future changes to these laws may require significant management attention and disrupt our operations. Additionally, while it is difficult to assess what changes may occur and the relative effect on our international tax structure, significant changes in how U.S. and foreign jurisdictions tax cross-border transactions could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

Our results of operations and financial position are also impacted by changes in currency exchange rates. Unfavorable currency exchange rates between the US Dollar and foreign currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar, could adversely affect us in the future. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may present challenges in comparing operating performance from period to period.

There are other risks that are inherent in our Canadian and other international operations, including the potential for changes in socio-economic conditions, laws and regulations, including, among others, competition, import, export, labor and environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and monetary and fiscal policies, protectionist measures that may prohibit acquisitions or joint ventures, or impact trade volumes, unsettled political conditions; government-imposed plant or other operational shutdowns, backlash from foreign labor organizations related to our restructuring actions, corruption; natural and man-made disasters, hazards and losses, violence, civil and labor unrest, and possible terrorist attacks.

Additionally, if the opportunity arises, we may expand our operations into new and high-growth international markets. However, there is no assurance that we will expand our operations in such markets in our desired time frame. To expand our operations into new international markets, we may enter into business combination transactions, make acquisitions or enter into strategic partnerships, joint ventures or alliances, any of which may be material. We may enter into these transactions to acquire other businesses or products to expand our products or take advantage of new

Table of Contents

developments and potential changes in the industry. Our lack of experience operating in new international markets and our lack of familiarity with local economic, political and regulatory systems could prevent us from achieving the results that we expect on our anticipated time frame or at all. If we are unsuccessful in expanding into new or high-growth international markets, it could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our international operations require us to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various international jurisdictions in which we do business.

Doing business on a worldwide basis requires us to comply with the laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various international jurisdictions, and our failure to successfully comply with these rules and regulations may expose us to liabilities. These laws and regulations apply to companies, individual directors, officers, employees, and agents, and may restrict our operations, trade practices, investment decisions and partnering activities. In particular, our international operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA. The FCPA prohibits us from providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment, and requires us to maintain adequate record- keeping and internal accounting practices to accurately reflect our transactions. As part of our business, we may deal with state-owned business enterprises, the employees and representatives of which may be considered foreign officials for purposes of the FCPA. In addition, some of the international locations in which we operate lack a developed legal system and have elevated levels of corruption. As a result of the above activities, we are exposed to the risk of violating anti-corruption laws. Violations of these legal requirements are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment, civil penalties, disgorgement of profits, injunctions, debarment from government contracts as well as other remedial measures. We have established policies and procedures designed to assist us and our personnel in complying with applicable U.S. and international laws and regulations. However, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent us from violating these regulations in every transaction in which we may engage, and such a violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on the experience and skill of our board of directors, executive officers and key personnel, whom we may not be able to retain and we may not be able to hire enough additional personnel to meet our needs.

We are dependent on Alfonso J. Cervantes, Jr. (Executive Chairman), Ryan F. Zackon (CEO), Darren C. Minton (President), and Alan B. Bergman (Chief Financial Officer). There can be no assurance that they will continue to be employed by us for a particular period of time. The loss of any member of the board of directors or executive officer or advisors could harm our business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

The success of our strategy will depend on a well-defined management structure and the availability of a management team with proven competencies in the identification, acquisition and integration of complementary companies and assets. To implement our business plan, we will need to keep the personnel that we currently have and, if our business is to grow as planned, we will need additional personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining our present team or in attracting and retaining additional personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel or are unable to do so in a cost-effective manner, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Although dependent on certain key personnel, we do not have any key man life insurance policies on any such people.

We are dependent on our management team to conduct our operations and execute our business plan, however, we have not purchased any insurance policies with respect to the management in the event of the death or disability of any of our key managers. Therefore, if any of the members of our management team dies or becomes disabled, we will not receive any compensation to assist with his absence.

We may be a party to lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business.

We may be a party to lawsuits in the future (including product liability, false advertising, and intellectual property claims) that arise in the ordinary course of business. The possibility of such litigation, and its timing, is in large part outside our control. It is possible that future litigation could arise that could have material adverse effects on us.

The obligations associated with being a public company will require significant resources and management attention, and we will incur increased costs as a result of becoming a public company.

As a public company, we will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses that we have not incurred as a private company, and we expect to incur additional costs related to operating as a public company. After the completion of this offering, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition, and proxy and other information statements, as well as the rules and regulations implemented by the SEC, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the listing requirements of Nasdaq (if our common stock is approved for listing), each of which imposes additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. As a public company, we will be required to, among other things:

• prepare and distribute periodic reports, proxy statements and other stockholder communications in compliance with the federal securities laws and rules and Nasdaq rules;

• expand the roles and duties of our board of directors and committees thereof and management;

• hire additional financial and accounting personnel and other experienced accounting and finance staff with the expertise to address complex accounting matters applicable to public companies;

• institute more comprehensive financial reporting and disclosure compliance procedures;

• involve and retain, to a greater degree, outside counsel and accountants to assist us with the activities listed above;

• build and maintain an investor relations function;

• establish new internal policies, including those relating to trading in our securities and disclosure controls and procedures;

• comply with the initial listing and maintenance requirements of Nasdaq; and

• comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We expect these rules and regulations, and any future changes in laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, which have created uncertainty for public companies, to increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming and costly. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases, due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Our investment in compliance with existing and evolving regulatory requirements will result in increased administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also expect that being a public company will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These increased costs may require us to divert a significant amount of money that we could otherwise use to expand our business and achieve our strategic objectives.

We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective.

We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the second annual report we file with the SEC. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. However, our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer a non-accelerated filer or no longer an emerging growth company if we take advantage of the exemptions available to us through the JOBS Act.

Table of Contents

We are in the very early stages of the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and process documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. As we transition to the requirements of reporting as a public company, we may need to add additional finance staff. We may not be able to remediate any future material weaknesses, or to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors are unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls when they are required to issue such opinion, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could harm our stock price.

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

Once our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that an active market in which investors can resell their shares of our common stock will develop.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our common stock. As a condition to consummating this offering, our common stock offered in this prospectus must be listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. Accordingly, we have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “SMFL.” Assuming that our common stock is listed and after the consummation of this offering, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our stock. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares of common stock if you desire or need to sell them. Our underwriters are not obligated to make a market in our common stock, and even if they make a market, they can discontinue market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriters can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our common stock will develop or, if developed, that such market will continue.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

After this offering, the market price for our common stock is likely to be volatile, in part because our shares have not been traded publicly. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, most of which we cannot control, including:

• actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;

• increases in market interest rates that lead investors of our common stock to demand a higher investment return;

• changes in earnings estimates;

• changes in market valuations of similar companies;

• actions or announcements by our competitors;

• adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• actions by stockholders;

• speculation in the media, online forums, or investment community; and

• our intentions and ability to list our common stock on Nasdaq and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing.

Table of Contents

The public offering price of our units has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters based upon many factors and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail following the closing of this offering. Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent investors from being able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.

We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

If our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s continued listing standards or we violate Nasdaq listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

There is no public market for the series B convertible preferred stock or warrants being offered.

There is no established public trading market for the series B convertible preferred stock or warrants being offered pursuant to this offering, nor do we expect such a market to develop. We do not intend to apply to list any series B convertible preferred stock or warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of such series B convertible preferred stock and warrants will be limited.

Holders of the warrants purchased pursuant to this offering will have no rights as stockholders until such holders exercise the warrants and acquire our common stock.

Holders of the warrants purchased in this offering only acquire our common stock upon exercise thereof, meaning holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants. Upon the exercise of any of the warrants purchased, such holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a stockholders only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date. The warrants are speculative in nature. The series A warrants being sold in this offering have an exercise price of $ per share (or 70% of the unit offering price) and will expire on the fifth anniversary from the issuance date and the series B warrants being sold in this offering have an exercise price of $ per share (or 100% of the unit offering price) and will expire on the fifth anniversary from the issuance. In the event our common stock price does not exceed the per share exercise price of the warrants during the period when such warrants are exercisable, such warrants will not have any value.

If you purchase series B convertible preferred stock in lieu of common stock in this offering, as a holder of series B convertible preferred stock, you will have no rights as a common stockholder with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the series B convertible preferred stock until you acquire our common stock.

If you purchase series B convertible preferred stock in lieu of common stock in this offering, until you acquire our common stock upon conversion of your series B convertible preferred stock, you will have no rights with respect to the common stock underlying the series B convertible preferred stock. Upon conversion of your series B convertible preferred stock, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date for actions to be taken by our common stockholders occurs after the date you convert your series B convertible preferred stock.

Our series B convertible preferred stock will rank junior to all our liabilities to third party creditors, and to any class or series of our capital stock created after this offering specifically ranking by its terms senior to the series B convertible preferred stock, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up of our assets.

In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up, our assets will be available to pay obligations on our series B convertible preferred stock only after all our liabilities have been paid. Our series B convertible preferred stock will effectively rank junior to all existing and future liabilities held by third party creditors. The terms of our series B convertible preferred stock do not restrict our ability to raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of debt or senior series of preferred stock. Our series B convertible preferred stock will also rank junior to any class or

Table of Contents

series of our capital stock created after this offering specifically ranking by its terms senior to the series B convertible preferred stock. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up, there may not be sufficient assets remaining, after paying our liabilities, to pay amounts due on any or all of our series B convertible preferred stock then outstanding.

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds that are allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering that are allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes in ways that holders of our common stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. Our management not applying these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering that are allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.

As of September 30, 2021, our pro forma deficiency in net tangible book value was $(13,097,421), or $(0.94) per share. Since the effective price per share of our common stock underlying the units being offered in this offering is substantially higher than the pro forma net deficiency in tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution with respect to the net tangible book value of the common stock underlying the units you purchase in this offering. If the holders of outstanding options or warrants exercise those options or warrants at prices below the offering price, you will incur even further dilution.

In addition, if upon the earlier of (i) 10 trading days from the issuance date of the series B warrants or (ii) the time when $10.0 million of volume is traded in our common stock, if the volume weighted average price of our common stock on any trading day on or after the date of issuance fails to exceed the exercise price of the series B warrants, the series B warrants can be exercised on a “cashless” basis for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, regardless of whether the market price of our common stock is above the exercise price, which may result in additional dilution and no additional proceeds to us in connection with such exercises. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our common stock will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

An investment in this offering may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences.

An investment in this offering may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences. For instance, because there are no authorities that directly address instruments similar to the units part of this offering, the allocation an investor makes with respect to the purchase price of a unit between the common stock, the series A warrant and the series B warrant included in each unit could be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, or courts. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders” for a summary of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an investment in our securities. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these and other tax consequences when acquiring, owning or disposing of our securities.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our common stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.

Any trading market for our common stock may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume

Table of Contents

of our common stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.

Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common stock or the trading of outstanding common stock, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our securities, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our common stock. In all events, future issuances of our common stock would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In connection with this offering, we will enter into a lock-up agreement that prevents us, subject to certain exceptions, from offering additional shares of capital stock for up to 12 months after the closing of this offering, as further described in the section titled “Underwriting.” In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our common stock may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our common stock.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred stock in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

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 price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Table of Contents

We will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

Upon the completion of this offering, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting 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;

• being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

• being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

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 expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31.

Because we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we elect to rely on these exemptions, or if taking advantage of these exemptions would result in less active trading or more volatility in the price of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, and limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that:

• permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships;

• provide that directors may only be removed by the majority of the shares of voting stock then outstanding; and

• establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.

USE OF PROCEEDS

After deducting the estimated underwriters’ commissions and offering expenses payable by us, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $15,819,000 from this offering (or approximately $18,276,000 if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full), based on an assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the warrants unless such warrants are exercised for cash.

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $1,638,000, assuming that the number of units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering (i) to pay off all debt that we owe to various note holders and term loan holders, including all principal, interest and any prepayment or other fees, and (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our estimated use of our net proceeds as we currently expect to use them. For purposes of calculation of the loan payoff amounts, we have used a payoff date of January 31, 2022. Additional interest will accrue at the given rates from January 31, 2022 to the closing date of this offering.

	Amount without Over-Allotment Option		Amount with Over-Allotment Option

Total use of proceeds	$	15,819,000	$	18,276,000

____________

(1) Since inception, we have issued unsecured promissory notes to various lenders. The proceeds of these loans were used to acquire Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing in 2018, for machinery purchases and for working capital from 2018 to 2020. These notes accrue interest at rates between 12-15% and have various original maturity dates ranging from March 2019 to March 2023, some of which have been extended to the closing of this offering. We are in the process of extending all maturity dates to the earlier of the closing of this offering or March 2023. Although some of these notes have matured, we have not received any demands for payment, and are therefore not in default under the notes. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of these notes was $3,916,325.

(2) In December 2021 and January 2022, we issued original issue discount secured subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $411,765 to certain investors. These notes bear interest at 15% per annum and are due on the earlier of completion of this offering or February 15, 2022.

(3) On December 18, 2020, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Peah Capital, LLC for a term loan in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000, which was amended on April 27, 2021 to increase the loan amount to $1,625,000. In connection with such amendment, on April 27, 2021, we issued a second amended and restated promissory note to Peah Capital, LLC in the principal amount of $1,625,000. The proceeds of this loan were used for material purchases and for working capital from 2020 to 2021. The loan bears interest at a rate of 17.5% per annum, provided that upon an event of default, such rate shall increase to 25% per annum. The loan is due and payable on the earlier of: (i) eighteen (18) months from the date of the note or (ii) upon completion of this offering. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of this loan was $1,614,906.

(4) On July 1, 2021, we entered into a loan agreement with Diamond Creek Capital, LLC for a term loan in the principal amount of up to $3,000,000 and issued a term loan promissory note to Diamond Creek Capital, LLC in the principal amount of $3,000,000. The proceeds of this loan were used to acquire Doctors Scientific Organica. The loan bears interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, provided that upon an event of default, such rate shall increase by 5%. The loan is due and payable on the earlier of July 1, 2022 or upon completion of this offering. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of this loan was $3,000,000.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Holders of our series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.5% of the stated value per share ($1,000) per annum, which shall increase to 15% per annum after November 23, 2021 and 24% per annum after December 31, 2021; provided, however, that no dividends shall accrue following the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that will restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock — We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.”

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit (which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), assuming no change in the number of units to be sold, would increase or decrease the pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital and total stockholders’ equity by approximately $1,638,000, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The table above excludes the following shares:

• 1,450,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options issued under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $0.01 per share;

Table of Contents

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock and warrants, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per unit and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering.

Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the total number of our shares of common stock outstanding. The deficiency in net tangible book value of our common stock as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $(13,097,421), or approximately $(0.94) per share. After giving effect to (i) the acquisition of Nexus and related private placement of debentures described herein, (ii) the issuance of 57,223 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of GSP Nutrition, (iii) the recent private placement of notes and warrants described herein and (iv) the conversion of certain debt and issuance of shares concurrent with the closing of this offering as described in more detail under “Capitalization” above, the pro forma net tangible book value of our common stock as of September 30, 2021 is approximately $2,299,926, or approximately $0.12 per share.

After giving effect to the sale of 1,800,000 units in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to this offering, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been approximately $20,299,926, or approximately $0.99 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.86 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $9.01 per share to purchasers of units in this offering, as illustrated by the following table:

Assumed initial public offering price per unit				$	10.00
Historical deficiency in net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021	$	(0.94	)
Increase per share attributable to the pro forma adjustments described above		1.07
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021		0.12
Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors purchasing units in this offering		0.86
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering					0.99
Dilution per share to new investors purchasing units in this offering				$	9.01

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares and/or warrants in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of our common stock after this offering would be $1.10 per share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.98 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $8.90 per share to the investors in this offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, investors participating in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

The following table sets forth the total number of shares of common stock previously issued and sold to existing investors, the total consideration paid for the foregoing and the average price per share of common stock paid, or to be paid, by existing owners and by the new investors. The calculation below is based on the assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting estimated underwriter commissions and offering expenses, in each case payable by us, and assumes no exercise of the warrants included in the units.

	Share Purchased			Total Consideration				Average Price Per Share
	Number	Percent		Amount		Percent		Average Price Per Share
Existing stockholders	18,766,124	91.25	%	$	1,877	0.01	%	$	0.0001
New investors	1,800,000	8.75	%	$	18,000,000	99.99	%	$	10.00

The number of shares included in “Existing Stockholders” above includes the following shares to be issued concurrent with the closing of this offering (assuming an initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price shown on the cover page of this prospectus):

• 42,500 shares of common stock that we have agreed to issue to the former shareholders of GSP Nutrition pursuant to the terms of the contribution and exchange agreement.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

On March 8, 2018, we acquired 51% of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. and Millenium Natural Health Products Inc. On October 9, 2019, we acquired the remaining 49% of these companies. On September 30, 2020, we changed the name of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. to Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing and on November 24, 2020, we merged Millenium Natural Health Products Inc. into Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing to better reflect our vertical integration.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Nexus

On November 8, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Nexus for a total purchase price of $6,000,000 (subject to adjustment), comprised of (i) $2,200,000 in cash (subject to adjustment), (ii) a 5% secured subordinated convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,900,000 and (iii) a 5% secured subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $1,900,000.

The 5% secured subordinated convertible promissory note accrues interest at 5% per annum and the outstanding principal and interest are payable in a lump sum on the maturity date, November 8, 2024. This note will automatically convert into shares of common stock concurrent with the closing of this offering at a conversion price equal to the initial public offering price.

The 5% secured subordinated promissory note accrues interest at 5% per annum and the outstanding principal and interest will be amortized on a straight-line basis and are payable quarterly in accordance with the amortization schedule attached to the note, with all amounts due and payable on November 8, 2024.

We may prepay all or any portion of these notes any time prior to maturity without premium or penalty. These notes contain customary covenants and events of default for loans of this type, including if a default occurs under any senior secured indebtedness to banks and other financial institutions or private equity funds, and are secured by a security interest in all of our assets; provided that such security interest is subordinate to the rights of the lenders under any such senior secured indebtedness.

Private Placement of Debentures

On November 5, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we sold 12% unsecured subordinated convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000 to such investors for gross proceeds of $2,250,000, the proceeds of which were used to fund the acquisition of Nexus described below.

Interest at a rate of 12% per annum shall accrue on the principal balance of the debentures from the date of issuance until the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC (which we refer to as the IPO date); provided that upon an event of default, such interest rate shall increase to 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, and we may be required to pay a default amount in certain circumstances. The debentures are due and payable on the earliest of the maturity date, November 30, 2022, or upon their earlier conversion or redemption.

At any time after the sixth month anniversary of the IPO date, the holders may convert the principal amount of the debentures into shares of common stock at a conversion price that is equal to 50% of the effective initial public offering price (as described in the debentures); provided that after the IPO date, the conversion price shall be reduced to the lower of such price and the lowest volume weighted average price during the 10 trading days immediately following the IPO date; provided further, that the conversion price shall not be less than $1.00. The conversion price is subject to standard equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions, as well as, prior to the IPO date, for future issuances below the conversion price. The debentures also contain beneficial ownership limitations which limit the holders’ beneficial ownership to 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

At any time after the IPO date, we may redeem some or all of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures for cash in an amount equal to 115% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the debentures.

The securities purchase agreement and the debentures contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for loans of this type. The debentures are guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries.

Acquisition of GSP Nutrition

On November 29, 2021, we entered into a contribution and exchange agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of GSP Nutrition. On December 6, 2021, the acquisition was completed.

The total purchase price was $425,000, payable in 42,500 shares of our common stock; provided that if the effective price per share of common stock in this offering (as determined in accordance with the contribution and exchange agreement) is less than $10 per share, then we must issue an additional number of shares of common stock equal to an amount determined by dividing the $425,000 purchase price by the effective offering price per share, minus 42,500. In connection with this acquisition, we also issued 14,723 shares of common stock to certain vendors of GSP who agreed to settle accounts payable owed to them into our common stock.

GSP Nutrition is a sports nutrition company that offers nutritional supplements for athletes and active lifestyle consumers under the Sports Illustrated Nutrition brand.

The exercise price per share will be equal to 125% of the effective initial public offering price, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar transactions, and may be exercised on a cashless basis if the market value of our common stock is greater than such exercise price.

financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See also “Risk Factors” for more information.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

• our ability to acquire new customers or retain existing customers;

• our ability to offer competitive product pricing;

• our ability to broaden product offerings;

• industry demand and competition; and

• market conditions and our market position.

Emerging Growth Company

Upon the completion of this offering, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be 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;

• submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

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 until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more, (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

Net sales. We generate revenue from the sales of our nutritional and related products. Our net sales increased by $3,388,149, or 240.92%, to $4,794,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included $2,651,471 from Doctors Scientific Organica from the period from July 1, 2021 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2021, from $1,406,345 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding Doctors Scientific Organica, our net sales increased by $736,678, or 52.38%. This increase was primarily due to increased sales of our contract manufacturing services following the easing of pandemic related restrictions. The increase was the result of an increase in the volume of products sold and not due to pricing changes.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold consists of ingredients and packaging materials and labor associated with the production of the products. Our cost of goods sold increased by $2,095,639, or 170.00%, to $3,328,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included $1,291,071 from Doctors Scientific Organica from the period from July 1, 2021 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2021, from $1,232,763 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding Doctors Scientific Organica, our cost of goods sold increased by $804,568, or 65.27%. Such increase was due to an increase in the amount of sales during the current period along with increased pricing for the ingredients and packaging materials as a result of supply shortages associated with COVID-19. As a percentage of net sales, our cost of goods decreased from 87.66% in the 2020 period to 69.42% in the 2021 period (or 95.07% excluding Doctors Scientific Organica).

Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $1,292,510, or 744.61%, to $1,466,092 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included $1,360,400 from Doctors Scientific Organica from the period from July 1, 2021 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2021, from $173,582 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding Doctors Scientific Organica, our gross profit decreased by $67,890, or 39.11%. As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit increased from 12.34% in the 2020 period to 30.58% in the 2021 period (or 4.93% excluding Doctors Scientific Organica).

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including employee salaries and bonuses plus related payroll taxes, advertising expenses, professional advisor fees, bad debts, rent expense, insurance and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $4,110,819, or 366.34%, to $5,232,937 for the nine months

Excluding Doctors Scientific Organica, our general and administrative expenses increased by $2,576,884, or 229.64%. Such increase in the expense was primarily due to the addition of corporate office personnel. During the current period, we hired a new Chief Executive Officer and Controller, and replaced our then Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, we engaged additional professionals associated with our audits and acquisition targets. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 79.79% in the 2020 period to 109.14% in the 2021 period (or 172.61% excluding Doctors Scientific Organica).

Depreciation and amortization was $159,928, or 3.34% of net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which included $5,392 from Doctors Scientific Organica from the period from July 1, 2021 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2021, as compared to $82,638, or 5.88% of net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Net sales. Our net sales decreased by $405,268, or 17.14%, to $1,959,595 for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $2,364,863 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was due to decreased sales volumes, primarily due to the inability to obtain ingredients and packaging materials due to supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19. There is a worldwide shortage of plastic bottles which are used in the packaging of our products.

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold decreased by $485,045, or 21%, to $1,831,629 for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $2,316,674 for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 98% in 2019 to 93% in 2020. Such decrease was due to the costs associated with various produced compounds during 2020. We manufacture a variety of products for our clients, with varying margins based on the relative cost of the ingredients. The costs of the products manufactured in 2020 were more concentrated and permitted for us to purchase in greater quantities and take advantage of volume discounts on purchased ingredients. Although we produced less items in 2020 as compared to 2019, we were able to obtain the materials at lower costs based on volume purchasing. Our sales contracts do not vary based on the pricing of materials. Therefore, the decreased cost of materials in 2020 were not passed along to the customer.

Gross profit. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by $79,777, or 165.55%, to $127,966 for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $48,189 for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a percentage of net sales, our gross profit increased from 2.04% in 2019 to 6.53% in 2020.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $419,625, or 18.38%, to $1,863,087 for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $2,282,712 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to decreased legal and consulting fees of approximately $200,000 as the legal dispute that we had with the former owner of Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing was resolved in late 2019. In 2019, there was also bad debt expense of approximately $82,000 and only approximately $10,000 in 2020. In 2020, we moved our corporate office and reduced the related expenses by approximately $75,000. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from 96.53% in 2019 to 95.08% in 2020.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $166,613, or 8.50% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $169,380, or 7.16% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Total other income (expense). We had $1,267,284 in total other expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to total other expense, net, of $279,959 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Total other expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of interest expense of $1,253,143, offset by interest income $12,801, while other expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of interest expense of $624,493, offset by other income of $344,534. Other income includes the recognition of collections for previously written-off uncollectible balances. The increased interest expense is the result of debt issuances during 2020 used to fund operations and the losses incurred.

Net income (loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $3,169,018 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $3,015,107 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $153,912 or 5.10%.

This increase was primarily due to an increased number of advertisers and the number of advertising placements as a result of more affiliate advertisers coming to market following the expansion of home business opportunities with the closing and reductions in on-site workplaces caused by COVID-19 stay-at-home requirements. Additionally, Nexus expanded its business development sales funnels allowing for a larger number of clients and business development service lines. The increase was not the result of any individually significant clients.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold consists of commissions paid to various website publishers for the placement of advertisements. Cost of goods sold increased by $377,077, or 13.26%, to $3,221,539 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $2,844,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Gross profit.

General and administrative expenses increased by $66,216, or 7.80%, to $914,690 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $848,474 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Such increase in the expense was primarily due to increased employee bonuses. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from 21.89% in the 2020 period to 21.58% in the 2021 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Smart for Life, Inc.

As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $690,101. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, bank borrowings and private placements of our securities.

Since our inception in 2017 and with the purchase of Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing, we have experienced losses and as a result have continued to use cash in our operations. We have been dependent upon financing activities as we implement our acquisition strategy.

Although we believe that our current levels of cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for our operations for at least the next 12 months, including our anticipated costs associated with becoming a public reporting company, we do believe additional funds are required to execute our business plan and our strategy of acquiring additional companies. As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, over the next 24 months, we plan to acquire multiple companies aggregating a minimum of $100 million in annualized revenues with the number of prospective acquisitions in the pipeline representing over $50 million in additional revenue. As of the date of this prospectus, we have determined that none of these prospective acquisitions are probable, within the meaning of Regulation S-X, due to numerous factors, including that we have not yet entered into definitive or other binding agreements, completed our due diligence, obtained board approval or publicly announced the prospective acquisitions, nor are we subject to financial penalties if these prospective acquisitions are not completed.

The funds required to execute this business plan will depend on the size, capital structure and purchase price consideration that the seller of a target business deems acceptable in a given transaction. The amount of funds needed to execute our business plan also depends on what portion of the purchase price of a target business the seller of that business is willing to take in the form of seller notes or our equity or equity in one of our subsidiaries. As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, we intend on paying no more than 60% cash on any acquisition that we execute with a target of 50%. Given these factors, we believe that the amount of outside additional capital necessary to execute our business plan for the next 24 months ranges from $20 million to $60 million. With respect to the prospective acquisitions in the pipeline representing over $50 million in additional revenue, the amount of capital needed ranges from $10 million to $30 million.

We intend to raise capital for additional acquisitions primarily through debt financing at our operating company level, additional equity offerings by our company, or by undertaking a combination of any of the above. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $68,042 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $113,043 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net income of $99,049 and an increase in accounts receivable of $22,089, offset by decreases in commissions payable of $28,295 and accrued expenses of $24,801, were the primary drivers for cash provided by operations. The increase in accounts receivable is associated with the increased revenues for the period over the previous period. The decrease in the liabilities is due to the timing of payments made by Nexus. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net income of $183,160 and an increase in commissions receivable of $156,761, offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $207,342 and accrued expenses of $165,507, were the primary drivers for cash provided by operations. With the impact of COVID-19 on the labor force, with more people either working from home or no longer employed, Nexus noted increased numbers of individuals seeking other business income and increased affiliate marketing, resulting in increased revenues. The changes in the accounts receivable and accrued expense are attributable to the timing of payments from customers and the payment dates to vendors. Invoices to customers are issued on Fridays with payment terms within 7 days, as the end of the period was a Wednesday, most customers paid their balances before the end of the period.

Net cash used in operating activities was $78,629 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $36,200 net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the net loss of $121,200 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $30,236, offset by an increase in commissions payable of $65,774 and an increase in accrued expenses of $7,033, were the primary drivers for cash used in operations. As customer billing occurs on Fridays and the 2020 year ended on a Thursday as opposed to a Tuesday for 2019, Nexus received payment from more customers through the end of the year based on the payment terms with customers. Conversely, based on the period ends, payments for vendors were not processed until later in the week at the end of 2020, resulting in the increased liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the net income of $82,735, an increase in commissions payable of $64,149 and an increase in accrued expenses of $5,925, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $116,609, were the primary drivers for cash provided by operations. The decrease in accounts receivable is directly related to the day of the week for the end of the year. As December 31, 2018 was a Monday, and fewer customers made payments for their balance as compared to in 2020 when the year ended on a Tuesday, giving customers an extra business day to make their payments. Historically, the payments from customers decline in percentage as the week progresses.

Nexus had no investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 or the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $59,900, which consisted of repayment of the EIDL described below. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2020 was $59,900, which consisted of proceeds from the EIDL described below. Nexus had no financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Debt

In June 2020, Nexus was granted an EIDL from the U.S. Small Business Administration in the amount of $59,900. The EIDL, which was in the form of a note dated June 19, 2020, bears interest of 3.75% per annum, payable monthly for $2,437 commencing in June of 2021. The EIDL may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the EIDL may only be used as working capital to alleviate economic injury caused by disaster occurring in the month of January 2020, and continuing thereafter, and to pay Uniform Commercial Code lien filing fees. We intend to use the funds from the EIDL for qualifying expenses. These amounts were fully repaid in September 2021 and were therefore listed as short-term.

Doctors Scientific Organica

As of December 31, 2020, Doctors Scientific Organica had cash of $0. To date, it has financed its operations primarily through revenue generated from operations and bank borrowings.

Doctors Scientific Organica is a single member limited liability company with a single member.

The business has continued to generate positive cash flows from operations which have been used for the re-investment in equipment as necessary, with any excess cash distributed to the member.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the net income of $1,569,379, offset by a decreased in inventory of $646,942, a decrease in accrued expenses of $219,863 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $138,108, were the primary drivers for cash provided by operations. The decrease in the inventory from the prior year is the result of shipments made in December to “big box” resellers in advance of year-end for the anticipated sale on weight management products in January. Doctors Scientific Organica received increased orders from “big box” retailers shortly before year-end in excess of the previous year. Doctors Scientific Organica was able to pay down many liabilities prior to year-end, thereby reducing the accrued expense balance. The decrease in accounts receivable pertained to the timing of payments from contract manufacturing clients that were able to pay their invoices more timely than in the past. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the net income of $1,613,531 and an increase in accrued expenses of $173,381, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and cash overdraft of $394,503 and a decrease in inventory of $154,183, were the primary drivers for cash provided by operations. Due to the timing of cash payments from customers, Doctors Scientific Organica was able to pay certain liabilities and overcome a cash deficit. The decrease in inventory is the result of unusually high inventory values as the end of 2018. Doctors Scientific Organica increased the inventory levels at the end of 2018 due to supply incentives and anticipated production for the beginning of 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15,103 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $110,923 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net cash used in financing activities for all periods consisted entirely of purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $830,081 for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $1,037,484 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of member distributions of $3,991,495, payments on line of credit of $1,197,740 and repayments on notes payable of $379,069, offset by contributions from members of $2,407,076, proceeds from line of credit of $1,937,397, paycheck protection program loan proceeds of $352,750 and proceeds from notes payable of $41,000, while the net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of member distributions of $5,423,545 and repayments on notes payable of $659,452, offset by member contributions of $4,374,513 and proceeds from notes payable of $671,000.

Debt

On June 26, 2020, Doctors Scientific Organica entered into a revolving line of credit with a bank, which permitted borrowings up to $750,000, and bears interest at 3.5%. As of December 31, 2021, the balance of the line of credit was $739,657.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments consist mostly of obligations under the loans described above, the operating leases described under “Business — Facilities” and pricing/margin structures for products established with our clients. We do not have any purchase obligations with any suppliers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the

Table of Contents

possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Revenue Recognition. Effective January 1, 2019, we evaluate revenue recognition based on the criteria set forth in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We evaluate and recognize revenue by: identifying the contract(s) with the customer; identifying the performance obligations in the contract; determining the transaction price; allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”). We primarily generate revenues by manufacturing and packaging of nutraceutical products as a contract manufacturer for customers. The majority of our revenue is recognized when we satisfy a single performance obligation by transferring control of our products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when our products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. Our general payment terms are short-term in duration. We do not have significant financing components or payment terms. We did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Distribution expenses to transport our products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Inventory, net. Inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) (replacement cost or net realizable value). An allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided for slow moving or obsolete inventory to write down historical cost to net realizable value. We primarily perform manufacturing for nutraceuticals in the form of powders, tablets and capsules. The allowance for obsolescence is an estimate established through charges to cost of goods sold. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based upon several factors which include, but are not limited to, analysis of slow moving inventory, analysis of the selling price of inventory, the predetermined shelf life of the product, and management’s judgment with respect to current economic conditions. Given the nature of the inventory, it is reasonably possible that our estimate of the allowance for obsolescence will change in the near term.

Long-Lived Assets. We assess potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) is less than its carrying amount. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. We had no impairment of long-lived assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Stock-based Compensation. We recognize expense for stock options and warrants granted over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair market value of the stock options. We calculate the amount of tax benefit available by tracking each stock option award on an employee-by-employee basis and on a grant-by-grant basis. We then compare the recorded expense to the tax deduction received for each stock option grant.

BUSINESS

Overview

Our Business Model

We plant to acquire target companies utilizing a combination of cash, promissory notes, earnouts and public company stock, generally at 4x to 6x trailing adjusted EBITDA. Aside from our first acquisition described below, we intend on paying no more than 60% cash on any acquisition that we execute with a target of 50%. The remainder is allocated between stock and a note and/or earnout with a heavier weighting toward the former. Although the acquisition consideration is structured, we believe that our acquisitions will provide three distinct benefits to the principals of an acquisition. First, a significant liquidity event. Second, the creation of a significant equity position in an emerging growth public company. Third, ongoing employment at customary industry compensation.

Our Industry

Table of Contents

Nutraceutical Industry

The nutraceutical industry focuses on nutritional supplements intended to improve longevity, sports fitness and provide health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value present in food. Most people are familiar with various nutraceutical products — and have likely used them — even if they are unfamiliar with the industry name. Nutraceuticals comprise such commonly used items as herbal products, specific diet products, vitamins, processed foods and beverages, functional foods, isolated nutrients and other dietary products. The following table prepared by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (www.crnusa.org), or CRN, depicts the types of supplements taken by the population in the different indicated categories beginning in 2018 and estimated through 2027. We sell products across all of these product categories, and we believe that our market share in each of these categories is currently less than 1%.

SOURCE: Council for Responsible Nutrition

The nutraceutical industry has experienced significant growth across the globe, propelled by the increasing age expectancies and associated increases in diseases of aging and lifestyle. A shift in demographics has also allowed manufacturers to benefit in recent years. The number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to nearly double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060, and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population will rise from 16% to 23%. Moreover, the CRN reported 77% of U.S. adults take dietary supplements. With respect to the types of supplements being taken, CRN’s 2019 survey found that vitamins and minerals continue to be the most commonly consumed supplement category, with 76% of Americans having taken these products in the past twelve months.

According to a study by Grand View Research, Inc., amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for nutraceuticals is projected to grow from $412.7 billion in the year 2020 and reach $722.5 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% over the analysis period. As a specific segment in the overall global nutraceutical market, functional foods accounted for the largest share in 2019 and generated revenue of $187.51 billion on a standalone basis.

Nutraceuticals are garnering immense attention in recent years due to various trends including changing lifestyles, burgeoning middle-class segment across emerging economies, transforming dietary habits, aging population, and increased life expectancy. In addition, the focus of R&D based pharmaceutical sector on expensive specialty drugs is increasing the burden on the healthcare system as well as resulting in higher out-of-pocket costs for drugs driving the focus on prevention than intervention. The self-care trend across the world is driving strong demand for nutraceuticals including superfoods, food and dietary supplements, sports nutrition, and functional foods and beverages. Given

Table of Contents

the hectic lifestyles and the lack of time for consumption of the required nutrients through regular diet, the need for replenishing such essential nutrients is increasing. In this context, nutraceuticals are emerging to be the solution for meeting this requirement. Nutraceuticals are considered to be the vital link between health and food.

The market is also experiencing strong demand for personalized approaches to wellness that is driving product innovation in the areas of weight management, sports nutrition, and healthy snacking. Other noteworthy trends benefiting market prospects in the near term include emergence of clean labeling as a new norm owing to increasing focus of consumers on ingredient list on the product; innovative delivery technologies such as microencapsulation, which protects the product from adverse conditions such as light and air.

To our knowledge, the projections above for future periods do not take into account the effects of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, those projections may be overstated and should not be given undue weight. At this time, we cannot predict the exact effects of the pandemic.

As the overall population continues to turn to healthier living in hopes of offsetting rising healthcare expenditures and preventing general subpar health conditions, we believe that the demand for nutraceutical industry products will resemble a similar trend.

Digital Marketing

As a result of our acquisition of Nexus, we have entered the digital marketing industry as a way to promote and sell the products and brands that we sell. Digital marketing is a component of marketing that uses internet and online based digital technologies such as desktop computers, mobile phones and other digital media and platforms to promote products and services.

Clicks and display ads are among the most prominent forms of digital marketing initiatives. Clicks are expensive compared to display ads, as clicks ensure the customer is directed to the advertiser’s website. However, clicks provide a better return on investment. The declines in digital marketing budgets across the spectrum resulted in lower costs per click. As a result, marketers are gaining more clicks for the same cost.

Nexus

To illustrate the revenue process, a publisher logs onto the platform and selects an offer to promote for the day. The platform generates a unique link which the publisher distributes either via email or a banner ad. As individuals use that link and make purchases, the traffic is credited to their affiliate account. The benefit to the publisher is that they get paid and there are no claw backs in a click per action environment. The software platforms act as the transaction ledger, keeping track of clicks, sales and commissions.

Nexus has established long-term relationships with many advertisers and publishers. Nexus also has internal data streams it utilizes to create email lists and produce sales internally to the multitude of advertiser products on the network. Nexus has created a plug-and-play streamlined business that allows for seamless scalability into any vertical, niche or product.

We believe that Nexus is accretive to our other portfolio companies and allows us access to a broad spectrum of marketing tools to be utilized across the entire spectrum of our products.

Manufacturing, Distribution and Quality Control

Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing operates a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Doral, Florida. This facility primarily focuses on the contract manufacturing of vitamins and supplements, with a particular emphasis on the production of tablets, capsules and powders, along with turn-key solutions for packaging these health and wellness products in a wide variety of bottles, jars, sachets and stick packs. From inception through September 30, 2021, it has manufactured nutritional products for approximately 240 companies, and from January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021, it manufactured nutritional products for approximately 26 companies.

Doctors Scientific Organica operates a 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Riviera Beach, Florida. This facility is primarily focused on the production of natural health and wellness meal replacement products, including nutrition bars, cookies, soups and shakes, as well as some vitamin and supplement capabilities such as powders.

GSP Nutrition relies on third-party contract manufacturers to manufacture its products.

All our manufacturing operations are subject to GMPs promulgated by the FDA and other applicable regulatory standards. We believe our manufacturing processes comply with the GMPs for dietary supplements or foods, and our manufacturing and distribution facilities generally have sufficient capacity to meet our current business requirements and our currently anticipated sales. We place special emphasis on quality control. We assign lot numbers to all raw materials and initially hold them in quarantine while our quality department evaluates them for compliance with established specifications. Once released, we retain samples and process the material according to approved formulas by blending, mixing and technically processing as necessary. We manufacture products in final delivery form as a capsule, tablet, powder, or nutrition bar. After a product is manufactured, our laboratory analysts test its weight, purity, potency, disintegration and dissolution, if applicable, utilizing both internal equipment and third-party labs. We hold the product in quarantine until we complete the quality evaluation and determine that the product meets all applicable

Table of Contents

specifications before packaging. When the manufactured product meets all specifications, our automated packaging equipment packages the product with at least one tamper-evident safety seal and affixes a label, an indelible lot number and, in most cases, the expiration or “best by” date.

Our manufacturing operations are designed to allow low-cost production of a wide variety of products of different quantities, physical sizes and packaging formats, while maintaining a high level of customer service and quality. Flexible production line changeover capabilities and reduced cycle times allow us to respond quickly to changes in manufacturing schedules and customer demands.

We have inventory control systems at our facilities that track each manufacturing and packaging component as we receive it from our supply sources through manufacturing and shipment of each product to customers. To facilitate this tracking, most products we sell are bar coded. We believe our distribution capabilities increase our flexibility in responding to our customers’ delivery requirements.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

In fiscal 2020, we spent approximately $1,110,000 on raw materials, excluding packaging and similar product materials. The principal raw materials required in our operations are vitamins, minerals, herbs, and gelatin. We believe that there are adequate sources of supply for all our principal raw materials, and in general we maintain two to three suppliers for many of our raw materials. From time to time, weather or unpredictable fluctuations in the supply and demand may affect price, quantity, availability, or selection of raw materials. We believe that our strong relationships with our suppliers yield high quality, competitive pricing, and overall good service to our customers. Although we cannot be sure that our sources of supply for our principal raw materials will be adequate in all circumstances, we believe that we can develop alternate sources in a timely and cost-effective manner if our current sources become inadequate. During fiscal 2020, no one raw material supplier accounted for more than 10% of our raw material purchases. Due to availability of numerous alternative raw material suppliers, we do not believe that the loss of any single raw material supplier would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — An increase in the price and shortage of supply of key raw materials could adversely affect our business.”

Sales and Marketing

We employ many different techniques and strategies within our marketing initiatives. These include direct to consumer outreach, use of influencers, Facebook targeting, focused e-mail campaigns, TV/Video spots and traditional media. Our marketing goal is always to increase visibility and relevance of our brands in the minds of our customers and potential customers. We hope to expand our programs to include experimental marketing techniques in the future.

We recently acquired Nexus, which we believe will become a value-added component of our marketing strategies. Nexus has established long-term relationships with many advertisers and publishers. It also has internal data streams it utilizes to create email lists and produce sales internally to the multitude of advertiser products on the network.

Customers

Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing, Doctors Scientific Organica and GSP Nutrition sell products to customers under individual purchase orders placed by them under their standard terms and conditions of sale. These terms and conditions generally include insurance requirements, representations by us with respect to the quality of our products and our manufacturing process, our obligations to comply with law, and indemnifications by us if we breach our representations or obligations. There is no commitment from any customer to purchase from us, or from us to sell to them, any minimum amount of product.

During fiscal 2020 and 2019, Amazon, individually, accounted for 28% and 24% of Doctors Scientific Organica’s net sales, respectively, and 16% and 15% of our pro forma combined net sales, respectively. Additionally, during fiscal 2020 and 2019, Costco, individually, accounted for 30% and 0% of Doctors Scientific Organica’s net sales, respectively, and 18% and 0% of our pro forma combined net sales, respectively.

Nexus’ customers include advertisers and publishers. An advertiser is a company that has products for sale and is looking for increased sales through digital marketing avenues from publishers. Publishers are people that do the digital marketing who are looking for commissions based on performance of their digital marketing efforts. An example

Table of Contents

of a publisher is someone who has strong Facebook following, or a strong knowledge of Facebook ad marketing. Other examples include google ad marketing or email marketers who send marketing messages to an opted in list of subscribers. Each sale they make from any digital marketing avenue results in a nonrefundable commission.

The loss of any major customer would have a material adverse effect on us if we were unable to replace that customer. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our major customers account for a significant portion of our consolidated net sales and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.”

Competition

The nutraceutical industry is highly competitive. Our competitors include a number of large, nationally known brands such as Nature Made (Pharmavite), Nature’s Bounty, GNC, Spectrum (Hain Celestial), Country Life, Garden of Life and Jarrow Formulas, and many smaller brands, manufacturers and distributors. The sales of products through online marketplace platforms such as Amazon and firms’ websites continue to expand. Private label products also provide competition to our products. Whole Foods Market, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and many health stores also sell a portion of their nutritional supplement offerings under their own private labels. Private label products are often sold at a discount to branded products. We also compete with distributors that sell products to health stores as well as mass market retailers such as United Natural Foods and KeHE Distributors. In addition, several major pharmaceutical companies continue to offer nutritional supplement lines in the mass market, including Centrum (Pfizer and GSK) and One-A-Day (Bayer). Pharmaceutical companies also offer prescription and over-the-counter products that are or may be competitive with nutritional supplements, particularly with regard to certain categories of products. Finally, as the nutraceutical market generally has low barriers to entry, additional competitors enter the market regularly.

Nexus’ competitors would be any digital marketing agency in the cost per acquisition space looking to acquire exclusive advertiser offers and high end publishers who can send high amounts of traffic through digital marketing media. Examples include Ca$hNetwork, OfferBlueprint and MaxBounty.

Competitive Strengths

Based on management’s belief and experience in the industry, we believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively.

Growth Strategies

We will strive to grow our business by pursuing the following growth strategies.

Table of Contents

• Further penetrate international markets. Our products are currently marketed and sold in approximately two countries. In fiscal 2020, approximately 18% of our sales (on a pro forma combined basis) were to customers outside the United States. We plan to capitalize on our marketing and distribution capabilities to drive incremental international sales of our consumer product brands in emerging markets, which are characterized by a rising middle class and a strong demand for high quality nutritional and wellness products from U.S.-based manufacturers.

Intellectual Property

We believe trademark protection is particularly important to the maintenance of the recognized brand names under which we market our products. We own or have rights to material trademarks or trade names that we use in conjunction with the sale of our products, including the Smart for Life, Doctors Scientific Organica and Sports Illustrated Nutrition brand names. We also own website domain names and have proprietary methodologies that we use in our manufacturing businesses. We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position.

In January 2020, GSP Nutrition entered into a license agreement, which was amended on June 1, 2020 and August 1, 2021, for the exclusive use of the Sports Illustrated brand (excluding the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand for which GSP Nutrition has a right of first offer under the license) in the United States and Canada for dietary and nutritional supplements in the form of capsules, softgel tablets, chewable tablets, lozenges, gummies, protein bars, and protein powders and concentrates for preparing sports drinks or energy drinks, and the non-exclusive right to use the brand for the production and sale of shaker bottles, in each case to be sold to/through certain approved accounts in the United States and Canada.

As consideration for the license, GSP Nutrition must pay royalties in an amount that is between 4% and 14% of net sales (as defined in the license agreement) with certain amounts guaranteed in advance. The aggregate amount of such guaranteed royalties is $1 million for the initial term of the license agreement. In addition, GSP Nutrition must contribute an amount ranging between 1% and 3% of its net sales to a common marketing fund, to be spent on an annual basis on marketing efforts, including advertising and promotional campaigns.

The license agreement has a term of five years ending on December 31, 2024, with a right to renew for an additional five-year term by providing written notice of renewal between June 1, 2023 and July 31, 2023. The licensor may terminate the license agreement upon breach by GSP Nutrition of the payment or other terms of the license agreement (which is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any, if such breach is capable of cure) or in the event of certain other customary termination events. GSP Nutrition may terminate the license agreement upon a material breach by the licensor if such breach is not cured with thirty (30) business days of the licensor’s receipt of written notice thereof.

We protect our intellectual property rights through a variety of methods, including trademark, patent and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and proprietary information agreements with vendors, employees, consultants and others who have access to our proprietary information. Protection of our intellectual property often affords us the opportunity to enhance our position in the marketplace by precluding our competitors from using or otherwise exploiting our technology and brands. We are also a party to several intellectual property license agreements relating to certain of our products. The duration of our trademark registrations is generally 10, 15 or 20 years, depending on the country in which the marks are

Table of Contents

registered, and we can renew the registrations. The scope and duration of our intellectual property protection varies throughout the world by jurisdiction and by individual product. Our global trademark portfolio, with the aforementioned registration durations, consists of our core marks for our business and our proprietary product brands which drive significant brand awareness for all of our businesses. Our proprietary product formulas and recipes, maintained as trade secrets, are significant to our growth and success as they form the foundation for our production and sales of effective, high quality products.

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Regulation

Our business is subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in the United States, including the FDA, the FTC, the CPSC, the USDA and the EPA. Various agencies of the state and localities in which we operate and in which our products are sold also regulate our business.

The areas of our business that these and other authorities regulate include, among others:

• product claims and advertising;

• product labels;

• product ingredients; and

• how we manufacture, package, distribute, import, export, sell and store our products.

In addition, our products sold in foreign countries are also subject to regulation under various national, local and international laws that include provisions governing, among other things, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of dietary supplements and over-the-counter drugs.

As a result of the acquisition of Nexus, we are also subject to laws and regulations generally applicable to providers of digital marketing services, including federal and state laws and regulations governing data security and privacy, unfair and deceptive acts and practices, advertising and content regulation.

We are also subject to a variety of other regulations in the United States, including those relating to taxes, employment, import and export, and intellectual property.

Food and Drug Administration

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or DSHEA, amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDC Act, to establish a new framework governing the composition, safety, labeling, manufacturing and marketing of dietary supplements. Generally, under the FDC Act, dietary ingredients (i.e., vitamins; minerals; herb or other botanical; amino acids; or dietary substances for use by humans to supplement diet by increasing total dietary intake; or any concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract or combination of any of the above) that were marketed in the United States prior to October 15, 1994 may be used in dietary supplements without notifying the FDA. New dietary ingredients (i.e., dietary ingredients that were not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994) must be the subject of a new dietary ingredient notification submitted to the FDA unless the ingredient has been “present in the food supply as an article used for food” without being “chemically altered.” A new dietary ingredient notification must provide the FDA evidence of a “history of use or other evidence of safety” establishing that use of the dietary ingredient “will reasonably be expected to be safe.” A new dietary ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing of the new dietary ingredient. The FDA may determine that a new dietary ingredient notification does not provide an adequate basis to conclude that a dietary ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe. Such a determination could prevent the marketing of such dietary ingredient.

In 2011 and 2016, the FDA issued draft guidance setting forth recommendations for complying with the new dietary ingredient notification requirement. Although FDA guidance is non-binding and does not establish legally enforceable responsibilities, and companies are free to use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, FDA guidance is a strong indication of the FDA’s current thinking on the topic discussed in the guidance, including its position on enforcement. At this time, it is difficult to determine whether the 2016 draft guidance (which replaced the 2011 draft guidance), if finalized, would have a material impact on our operations. However, if the FDA were to enforce the applicable statutes and regulations in accordance with the draft guidance as written, such enforcement could require us to incur additional expenses, which could be significant, and negatively impact our business in several ways, including, but not limited to, enjoining the manufacturing of our products until the FDA determines that we are in compliance and can resume manufacturing, increasing our liability and reducing our growth prospects.

The FDA or other agencies could take actions against products or product ingredients that, in their determination, present an unreasonable health risk to consumers that would make it illegal for us to sell such products. In addition, the FDA could issue consumer warnings with respect to the products or ingredients in such products that are sold in our stores. Such actions or warnings could be based on information received through FDC Act-mandated reporting of serious adverse events.

We take a number of actions to ensure the products we sell comply with the FDC Act. Some of these actions include maintaining and continuously updating a list of restricted ingredients that will be prohibited from inclusion in any products that we sell. In addition, we have developed and maintain a list of ingredients that we believe comply with the applicable provisions of the FDC Act. As is common in our industry, we rely on some third-party vendors to ensure that the products they manufacture and sell to us comply with all applicable regulatory and legislative requirements. In general, we seek representations and warranties, indemnification and/or insurance from our vendors. However, even with adequate insurance and indemnification, any claims of non-compliance could significantly damage our reputation and consumer confidence in our products. In addition, the failure of such products to comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or require us to recall or remove such products from the market, which in certain cases could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A removal or recall could also result in negative publicity and damage to our

Table of Contents

reputation that could reduce future demand for our products. In the past, we have attempted to offset any losses related to recalls and removals with reformulated or alternative products; however, there can be no assurance that we would be able to offset all or any portion of losses related to any future removal or recall.

The FDC Act permits structure/function claims to be included in labels and labeling for dietary supplements without FDA pre-market approval. However, companies must have substantiation that the claims are “truthful and not misleading”, and must submit a notification with the text of the claims to the FDA no later than 30 days after marketing the dietary supplement with the claims. Permissible structure/function claims may describe how a particular nutrient or dietary ingredient affects the structure, function or general well-being of the body, or characterize the documented mechanism of action by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such structure or function. The label or labeling of a product marketed as a dietary supplement may not expressly or implicitly represent that a dietary supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat or prevent a disease (i.e. a disease claim). If the FDA determines that a particular structure/function claim is an unacceptable disease claim that causes the product to be regulated as a drug, a conventional food claim or an unauthorized version of a “health claim,” or, if the FDA determines that a particular claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific data or is false or misleading in any particular, we would be prevented from using the claim and would have to update our product labels and labeling accordingly.

In addition, DSHEA provides that so-called “third-party literature,” e.g., “a publication, including an article, a chapter in a book, or an official abstract of a peer-reviewed scientific publication that appears in an article and was prepared by the author or the editors of the publication” supplements, when reprinted in its entirety, may be used “in connection with the sale of a dietary supplement to consumers” without the literature being subject to regulation as labeling. Such literature: (1) must not be false or misleading; (2) may not “promote” a particular manufacturer or brand of dietary supplement; (3) must present a balanced view or is displayed or presented with other such items on the same subject matter so as to present a balanced view of the available scientific information; (4) if displayed in an establishment, must be physically separate from the dietary supplements; and (5) should not have appended to it any information by sticker or any other method. If the literature fails to satisfy each of these requirements, we may be prevented from disseminating such literature with our products, and any continued dissemination could subject our product to regulatory action as an illegal drug.

In June 2007, pursuant to the authority granted by the FDC Act as amended by DSHEA, the FDA published detailed GMP regulations that govern the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding operations of dietary supplement manufacturers. The GMP regulations, among other things, impose significant recordkeeping requirements on manufacturers. The GMP requirements are in effect for all dietary supplement manufacturers, and the FDA conducts inspections of dietary supplement manufacturers pursuant to these requirements. There remains considerable uncertainty with respect to the FDA’s interpretation of the regulations and their actual implementation in manufacturing facilities.

In addition, the FDA’s interpretation of the regulations governing dietary supplements will likely change over time as the agency becomes more familiar with the industry and the regulations. The failure of a manufacturing facility to comply with the GMP regulations renders products manufactured in such facility “adulterated,” and subjects such products and the manufacturer to a variety of potential FDA enforcement actions. In addition, under the Food Safety Modernization Act, or FSMA, which was enacted in January 2011, the manufacturing of dietary ingredients contained in dietary supplements will be subject to similar or even more burdensome manufacturing requirements, which will likely increase the costs of dietary ingredients and will subject suppliers of such ingredients to more rigorous inspections and enforcement. The FSMA will also require importers of food, including dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, to conduct verification activities to ensure that the food they might import meets applicable domestic requirements.

The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements, including powers to issue a public warning or notice of violation letter to a company, publicize information about illegal products, detain products intended for import, require the reporting of serious adverse events, require a recall of illegal or unsafe products from the market, and request the Department of Justice to initiate a seizure action, an injunction action or a criminal prosecution in the United States courts.

The FSMA expands the reach and regulatory powers of the FDA with respect to the production and importation of food, including dietary supplements. The expanded reach and regulatory powers include the FDA’s ability to order mandatory recalls, administratively detain domestic products, and require certification of compliance with domestic requirements for imported foods associated with safety issues. FMSA also gave FDA the authority to administratively revoke manufacturing facility registrations, effectively enjoining manufacturing of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements without judicial process. The regulation of dietary supplements may increase or become more restrictive in the future.

Federal Trade Commission

The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of dietary supplements and other health-related products and requires that all advertising to consumers be truthful and non-misleading. The FTC actively monitors the dietary supplement space and has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for the use of false or misleading advertising claims. FTC enforcement actions may result in consent decrees, cease and desist orders, judicial injunctions and the payment of fines with respect to advertising claims that are found to be unsubstantiated.

Environmental Regulation

Our facilities and operations, in common with those of similar industries making similar products, are subject to many federal, state, provincial and local requirements, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and of human health and safety, including those regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. We continually examine ways to reduce our emissions, minimize waste and limit our exposure to any liabilities, as well as decrease costs related to environmental compliance. Costs to comply with current and anticipated environmental requirements, rules and regulations and any estimated capital expenditures for environmental control facilities are not anticipated to be material when compared with overall costs and capital expenditures. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that such costs will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or competitive position.

New Legislation or Regulation

Legislation may be introduced which, if passed, would impose substantial new regulatory requirements on dietary supplements and other health products. We cannot determine what effect additional domestic or international governmental legislation, regulations, or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. New legislation or regulations may require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, require the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, impose additional record keeping or require expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.

Corporate Governance

Governance Structure

We chose to appoint a separate Chairman of the Board who is not our Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors has made this decision based on their belief that a separate Chairman of the Board can act as a balance to the Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a non-independent director.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The board of directors oversees that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the board’s oversight of the various risks facing our company. In this regard, our board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the board oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the board and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

Our board administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration; however, much of the work is delegated to committees, which will meet regularly and report back to the full board. The audit committee oversees risks related to our financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters, the compensation committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with our compensation philosophy and programs, and that the nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates risk associated with management decisions and strategic direction.

Independent Directors

Nasdaq’s rules generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Our board of directors currently consists of four (4) directors, one of whom, Mr. Altbach, is independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq’s rules. We have entered into independent director agreements with Messrs. Cohen, Rein and Wood, pursuant to which they have been appointed to serve as independent directors effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. As a result of these appointments, we anticipate that our board of directors upon closing of this offering will consist of seven (7) directors, four (4) of whom will be independent within the meaning of Nasdaq’s rules.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each with its own charter approved by the board. Upon completion of this offering, we intend to make each committee’s charter available on our website at www.smartforlifecorp.com.

In addition, our board of directors may, from time to time, designate one or more additional committees, which shall have the duties and powers granted to it by our board of directors.

Audit Committee

Richard M. Cohen, Ronald S. Altbach and Robert S. Rein, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, have been appointed to serve on our audit committee, effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, with Mr. Cohen serving as the chairman. Mr. Cohen qualifies as “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.

The audit committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing

Table of Contents

and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (viii) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Compensation Committee

Ronald S. Altbach, Richard M. Cohen and Roger Conley Wood, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, have been appointed to serve on our compensation committee, effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, with Mr. Altbach serving as the chairman. The members of the compensation committee are also “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The compensation committee will assist the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers.

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) determining the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Robert S. Rein, Esq., Ronald S. Altbach and Roger Conley Wood, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, have been appointed to serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee, effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, with Mr. Rein serving as the chairman. The nominating and corporate governance committee will assist the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) recommending the number of directors to comprise our board; (ii) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board and soliciting recommendations for director nominees from the chairman and chief executive officer of our company; (iii) recommending to the board the director nominees for each annual stockholders’ meeting; (iv) recommending to the board the candidates for filling vacancies that may occur between annual stockholders’ meetings; (v) reviewing independent director compensation and board processes, self-evaluations and policies; (vi) reviewing and approving related party transactions; (vii) overseeing compliance with our code of ethics; and (viii) monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance.

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors (other than those proposed by our stockholders, as discussed below) will include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources — members of our board of directors, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors, and other research. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.

In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.

A stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder complies with the notice and information provisions contained in our bylaws. Such notice must be in writing to our company not less than 120 days and not more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the

Table of Contents

preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders or as otherwise required by requirements of the Exchange Act. In addition, stockholders furnishing such notice must be a holder of record on both (i) the date of delivering such notice and (ii) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.

We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four (4) business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics.

2020 Stock Incentive Plan

On September 14, 2020, our board of directors adopted the Bonne Santé Group, Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2020 Plan, which was approved by our stockholders on September 14, 2020. The following is a summary of certain significant features of the 2020 Plan. The information which follows is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the 2020 Plan document itself, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Awards that may be granted include incentive stock options as described in section 422(b) of the Code, non-qualified stock options (i.e., options that are not incentive stock options) and awards of restricted stock. These awards offer our employees, consultants, advisors and outside directors the possibility of future value, depending on the long-term price appreciation of our common stock and the award holder’s continuing service with our company or one or more of its subsidiaries.

All of the permissible types of awards under the 2020 Plan are described in more detail as follows:

Purposes of Plan: The purpose of the 2020 Plan is to offer selected employees, consultants, advisors and outside directors the opportunity to acquire equity in our company.

Administration of the Plan: The 2020 Plan is administered by our compensation committee. Among other things, the administrator has the authority to select persons who will receive awards, determine the types of awards and the number of shares to be covered by awards, and to establish the terms, conditions, restrictions and other provisions of awards.

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Plan will be those employees, consultants, advisors and outside directors of our company and its subsidiaries who are selected by the administrator.

Shares Available Under the Plan: The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered to participants under the 2020 Plan is 2,000,000, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits. Shares subject to an award under the 2020 Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited or expires again become available for grants under the 2020 Plan. Shares subject to an award that is settled in cash will not again be made available for grants under the 2020 Plan. As of the date of this prospectus, 550,000 shares remain available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Stock Options:

General. Subject to the provisions of the 2020 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options. That determination will include: (i) the number of shares subject to any option; (ii) the exercise price per share; (iii) the expiration date of the option; (iv) the manner, time and date of permitted exercise; (v) other restrictions, if any, on the option or the shares underlying the option; and (vi) any other terms and conditions as the administrator may determine.

Option Price. The exercise price for stock options will be determined at the time of grant. Normally, the exercise price will not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by the administrator. As a matter of tax law, the exercise price for any incentive stock option awarded may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. However, incentive stock option grants to any person owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

Exercise of Options. An option may be exercised only in accordance with the terms and conditions for the option agreement as established by the administrator at the time of the grant. The option must be exercised by notice to us, accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Payments may be made in cash or, at the option of the administrator, by actual or constructive delivery of shares of common stock to the holder of the option based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise.

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant; provided that such term cannot exceed ten years and that such term of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of more than 10% of our voting stock cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date if the holder’s service with us terminates before the expiration date. The option may remain

Table of Contents

exercisable for specified periods after certain terminations of service, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement, with the precise period during which the option may be exercised to be established by the administrator and reflected in the grant evidencing the award.

Stock Awards: Stock awards can also be granted under the 2020 Plan. A stock award is a grant of shares of common stock. These awards will be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the administrator shall determine at the date of grant. Those may include requirements for continuous service and/or the achievement of specified performance goals.

Other Material Provisions: Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. The board also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The board also has the authority to alter or amend the 2020 Plan or any outstanding award or may terminate the 2020 Plan as to further grants, provided that no amendment will, without the approval of our stockholders, increase the number of shares available under the 2020 Plan or change the persons eligible for awards under the 2020 Plan. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the 2020 Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

On January 13, 2022, our board of directors adopted the Smart for Life, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2022 Plan. The following is a summary of certain significant features of the 2022 Plan. The information which follows is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the 2022 Plan document itself, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Awards that may be granted include: (a) incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) restricted awards, (e) performance share awards, and (f) performance compensation awards. These awards offer our officers, employees, consultants and directors the possibility of future value, depending on the long-term price appreciation of our common stock and the award holder’s continuing service with our company.

Stock options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of shares of common stock at a purchase price that is fixed upon the grant of the option. The exercise price will not be less than the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted may be either tax-qualified stock options (so-called “incentive stock options”) or non-qualified stock options.

Stock appreciation rights, or SARs, which may be granted alone or in tandem with options, have an economic value similar to that of options. When a SAR for a particular number of shares is exercised, the holder receives a payment equal to the difference between the market price of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the shares under the SAR. Again, the exercise price for SARs normally is the market price of the shares on the date the SAR is granted. Under the 2022 Plan, holders of SARs may receive this payment — the appreciation value — either in cash or shares of common stock valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise. The form of payment will be determined by us.

Restricted shares are shares of common stock awarded to participants at no cost. Restricted shares can take the form of awards of restricted stock, which represent issued and outstanding shares of our common stock subject to vesting criteria, or restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of our common stock subject to satisfaction of the vesting criteria. Restricted shares are forfeitable and non-transferable until the shares vest. The vesting date or dates and other conditions for vesting are established when the shares are awarded.

The 2022 Plan also provides for performance compensation awards, representing the right to receive a payment, which may be in the form of cash, shares of common stock, or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established goals.

Table of Contents

All of the permissible types of awards under the 2022 Plan are described in more detail as follows:

Purposes of Plan: The purposes of the 2022 Plan are to attract and retain officers, employees and directors for our company and its subsidiaries; motivate them by means of appropriate incentives to achieve long-range goals; provide incentive compensation opportunities; and further align their interests with those of our stockholders through compensation that is based on our common stock.

Administration of the Plan: The 2022 Plan is administered by our compensation committee. Among other things, the administrator has the authority to select persons who will receive awards, determine the types of awards and the number of shares to be covered by awards, and to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions and other provisions of awards. The administrator has authority to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2022 Plan.

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan will be those officers, employees, consultants, and directors of our company and its subsidiaries who are selected by the administrator.

Shares Available Under the Plan: The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered to participants under the 2022 Plan is 2,000,000, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits. Shares subject to an award under the 2022 Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited or expires again become available for grants under the 2022 Plan. Shares subject to an award that is settled in cash will not again be made available for grants under the 2022 Plan.

Stock Options:

General. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options. That determination will include: (i) the number of shares subject to any option; (ii) the exercise price per share; (iii) the expiration date of the option; (iv) the manner, time and date of permitted exercise; (v) other restrictions, if any, on the option or the shares underlying the option; and (vi) any other terms and conditions as the administrator may determine.

Option Price. The exercise price for stock options will be determined at the time of grant. Normally, the exercise price will not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. As a matter of tax law, the exercise price for any incentive stock option awarded may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. However, incentive stock option grants to any person owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, such term cannot exceed ten years provided that in the case of holders of more than 10% of our voting stock, such term cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date if the holder’s service with our company or a subsidiary terminates before the expiration date. The option may remain exercisable for specified periods after certain terminations of employment, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement, with the precise period during which the option may be exercised to be established by the administrator and reflected in the grant evidencing the award.

Incentive and Non-Qualified Options. As described elsewhere in this summary, an incentive stock option is an option that is intended to qualify under certain provisions of the Code, for more favorable tax treatment than applies to non-qualified stock options. Any option that does not qualify as an incentive stock option will be a non-qualified stock option. Under the Code, certain restrictions apply to incentive stock options. For example, the exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the grant date and the term of the option may not exceed ten years. In addition, an incentive stock option may not be transferred, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder. In addition, no

Table of Contents

incentive stock options may be granted to a holder that is first exercisable in a single year if that option, together with all incentive stock options previously granted to the holder that also first become exercisable in that year, relate to shares having an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100,000, measured at the grant date.

Stock Appreciation Rights: Awards of SARs may be granted alone or in tandem with stock options. SARs provide the holder with the right, upon exercise, to receive a payment, in cash or shares of stock, having a value equal to the excess of the fair market value on the exercise date of the shares covered by the award over the exercise price of those shares. Essentially, a holder of a SAR benefits when the market price of the common stock increases, to the same extent that the holder of an option does, but, unlike an option holder, the SAR holder need not pay an exercise price upon exercise of the award.

Stock Awards: Stock awards can also be granted under the 2022 Plan. A stock award is a grant of shares of common stock or of a right to receive shares in the future. These awards will be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the administrator shall determine at the date of grant. Those may include requirements for continuous service and/or the achievement of specified performance goals.

Cash Awards: A cash award is an award that may be in the form of cash or shares of common stock or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established performance goals and other conditions, restrictions and contingencies identified by the administrator.

Performance Criteria: Under the 2022 Plan, one or more performance criteria will be used by the administrator in establishing performance goals. Any one or more of the performance criteria may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of our company, as the administrator may deem appropriate, or as compared to the performance of a group of comparable companies, or published or special index that the administrator deems appropriate. In determining the actual size of an individual performance compensation award, the administrator may reduce or eliminate the amount of the award through the use of negative discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The administrator shall not have the discretion to (i) grant or provide payment in respect of performance compensation awards if the performance goals have not been attained or (ii) increase a performance compensation award above the maximum amount payable under the 2022 Plan.

Other Material Provisions: Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The board also has the authority to alter or amend the 2022 Plan or any outstanding award or may terminate the 2022 Plan as to further grants, provided that no amendment will, without the approval of our stockholders, to the extent that such approval is required by law or the rules of an applicable exchange, increase the number of shares available under the 2022 Plan, change the persons eligible for awards under the 2022 Plan, extend the time within which awards may be made, or amend the provisions of the 2022 Plan related to amendments. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the 2022 Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, the certificate of designation for our series A convertible preferred stock and our bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will also file a certificate of designation for the series B convertible preferred stock that may be acquired as a substitute for the common stock being issued as a component of the units offered hereunder, the form of which have been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were 13,927,223 shares of common stock and 8,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Units

We are offering 1,800,000 units at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of (i) one share of our common stock (or, at the purchaser’s election, one share of series B convertible preferred stock), (ii) one series A warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ per share (or 70% of the unit offering price), exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, and (iii) one series B warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ per share (or 100% of the unit offering price), exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and subject to certain adjustment and cashless exercise provisions as described herein. The shares of our common stock and the warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately but will be purchased together in this offering.

As noted above, we are offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our common stock in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to substitute series B convertible preferred stock for the shares of common stock included in the units purchased by that investor. Each share of series B convertible preferred stock is being sold together with the same warrants described above being sold with each share of common stock. For each share of series B convertible preferred stock purchased in this offering in lieu of common stock, we will reduce the number of shares of common stock being sold in the offering on a one-for-one basis. Pursuant to this prospectus, we are also offering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series B convertible preferred stock. The shares of series B convertible preferred stock will otherwise have the preferences, rights and limitations described under “— Preferred Stock — Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” below.

Common Stock

Dividend Rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Voting Rights. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, any corporate action to be taken by vote of stockholders other than for election of directors shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

Other Rights. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to determine the designations and the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights (including the number of votes per share), redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions and the number of shares constituting the series. Our board of directors could, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and which could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 29, 2021, we filed a certificate of designation with the Delaware Secretary of State to establish our series A convertible preferred stock. We designated a total of 8,000 shares of our preferred stock as series A convertible preferred stock. Our series A convertible preferred stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:

Dividend Rights. Holders of series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.5% of the stated value per share ($1,000, subject to adjustment) per annum, which shall increase to 15% per annum after November 23, 2021 and 24% per annum after December 31, 2021; provided, however, that no dividends shall accrue following the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC (which we refer to as the IPO date). The dividends shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily and shall be deemed to accrue whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Any dividends that are not paid within three (3) trading days following a dividend payment date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee at the rate of 15% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law.

Liquidation Rights. Prior to the IPO date, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon a change of control, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of our company an amount equal to the greater of (a) 150% of the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, for each share held, and (b) the amount that could otherwise be received by a holder for the shares issuable upon conversion of the series A convertible preferred stock in full (ignoring for such purposes any conversion limitations) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of common stock. Following the IPO date, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon a change of control, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of our company the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the series A convertible preferred stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations) to common stock which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock.

Voting Rights. Until the IPO date, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock shall have the same voting rights as the holders of common stock (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock-basis). On and after the IPO date, the series A convertible preferred stock shall have no voting rights except as set forth below. As long as any shares of series A convertible preferred stock are outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the series A convertible preferred stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A convertible preferred stock or, after the IPO date, alter or amend the certificate of designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the series A convertible preferred stock, (c) amend our certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of series A convertible preferred stock, (d) prior to the IPO date, increase the number of authorized shares of common stock or series A convertible preferred stock, (e) prior to the IPO date, repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or

exchangeable for common stock, (f) prior to the IPO date, repurchases of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock of departing officers and directors, (g) prior to the IPO date, pay cash dividends or distributions on any of our equity securities, (h) prior to the IPO date, enter into any change of control transaction (as defined in the certificate of designation) or (i) either prior to the IPO date or after the IPO date, as applicable, enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Conversion Rights. Each share of series A convertible preferred stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time from at the option of the holder thereof, into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the stated value of such share of series A convertible preferred stock (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon) by the conversion price. The conversion price is initially equal $0.6667 (subject to adjustments); provided, however, if the pre-money valuation of our company on the IPO date is less than $75,000,000, the conversion price shall be reduced to equal the product of (i) the then conversion price and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the pre-money valuation of our company on the IPO date and (B) $75,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not effect any conversion, and a holder shall not have the right to convert, any portion of the series A convertible preferred stock to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the conversion. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to us.

Participation Rights. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement that we entered into with the holders of the series A convertible preferred stock, until the one-year anniversary of the IPO date, upon any issuance by us or any of our subsidiaries of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination thereof, each holder of series A convertible preferred stock shall have the right to participate in such subsequent financing up to an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate amount raised thereunder on the same terms, conditions and price provided for thereunder.

Registration Rights. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement that we entered into with the holders of the series A convertible preferred stock, we are required to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A convertible preferred stock and upon the exercise of the warrants described below by August 14, 2021 and use our best efforts to ensure that the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC by the earlier of the IPO date or January 31, 2022. If the registration statement is not filed or declared effective on or prior to such dates, or such registration statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective or the holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell their shares for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (each of which is referred to herein as an event), then, in addition to any other rights the holders may have under the registration rights agreement or under applicable law, on each such event date and on each monthly anniversary of each such event date (if the applicable event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable event is cured, the we must pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by such holder pursuant to the securities purchase agreement. If we fail to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant in full within seven days after the date payable, we will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law), accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will we be liable for liquidated damages in excess of 1.0% of the aggregate subscription amount in any single month and the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a holder shall be ten percent (10%) of the aggregate subscription amount.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Prior to the closing of this offering, we will file a certificate of designation with the Delaware Secretary of State to establish our series B convertible preferred stock. We will designate a total of shares of our preferred stock as series B convertible preferred stock. Our series B convertible preferred stock will have the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:

Dividend Rights. Holders of series B convertible preferred stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by our board of directors. However, holders of our series B convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive dividends on shares of series B convertible preferred stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common

103

Table of Contents

stock when such dividends are specifically declared by our board of directors, except for stock dividends or distributions payable in shares of common stock on shares of common stock or any other common stock equivalents for which the conversion price will be adjusted.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of our series B convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares of series B convertible preferred stock if such shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such event (without giving effect for such purposes to the 4.99% or 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as applicable) subject to the preferential rights of holders of any class or series of our capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the series B convertible preferred stock as to distributions of assets upon such event, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

Voting Rights. The holders of the series B convertible preferred stock will have no voting rights, except as required by law. However, we may not disproportionally alter or change adversely the powers, preferences and rights of the series B convertible preferred stock or amend the certificate of designation or amend our certificate of incorporation or bylaws in any manner that disproportionally adversely affect any right of the holders of the series B convertible preferred stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of series B convertible preferred stock then outstanding.

Conversion Rights. Each share of series B convertible preferred stock will be convertible at any time at the holder’s option into one share of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the certificate of designation); provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting series B convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until the 61st day after such notice to us.

Other Rights. We are not obligated to redeem or repurchase any shares of series B convertible preferred stock. Shares of series B convertible preferred stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions.

Options

As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued options to purchase an aggregate of 1,450,000 shares of common stock under the 2020 Plan, each at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Warrants Outstanding Prior to this Offering

In July and August 2021, we issued warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 11,999,404 shares of common stock. These warrants are excisable at any time during the period commencing on the sixth (6th) month anniversary of the date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of such date. The exercise price per share will be equal to 125% of the initial public offering price, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar change of control transactions, and for certain dilutive issuances; provided that, we shall not effect any exercise, and a holder shall not have the right to exercise, any portion of a warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to us.

In December 2021 and January 2022, we entered into note and warrant purchase agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which we sold to such investors (i) original issue discount secured subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $411,765 and (ii) warrants for the purchase of a number of shares of our common stock that is equal to the investors’ investment amount divided by a price per share that is equal to 125% of the effective initial public offering price. These warrants are excisable at any time during the three (3) year period commencing on the sixth (6th) month anniversary of the closing of this offering. The exercise price per share will be equal to 125% of the effective initial public offering price, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar transactions, and may be exercised on a cashless basis if the market value of our common stock is greater than such exercise price.

On December 18, 2020, we issued a warrant for the purchase of 1,292,445 shares of common stock to Peah Capital, LLC. This warrant is exercisable for the period commencing on January 31, 2022 and ending on December 18, 2027; provided that, the warrant will automatically expire and terminate in the event a registration statement covering the resale of all shares issued pursuant the future equity agreement with Peah Capital, LLC described below has been declared effective by the SEC. The exercise price of this warrant is $0.0001, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions. In addition, in the event that the number of our outstanding shares of common stock is increased prior to the 18-month anniversary of the warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant shall be automatically increased to represent that number which is 9.9% of the then total outstanding capitalization.

On May 18, 2017, we issued a warrant to Leonite Capital LLC for the purchase of a number of shares of common stock as determined by dividing $60,000 by the price per share paid by investors in an equity financing occurring after the date of the warrant and resulting in gross proceeds to us of at least $1,000,000. Following the recent private placement, in which investors paid $0.6667 per underlying common share, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant is 89,996 shares. The exercise price of this warrant is $0.0001, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations and similar change of control transactions, and for certain dilutive issuances; provided that, we shall not effect any exercise, and the holder shall not have the right to exercise, any portion of the warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to us.

Warrants Issued in this Offering

The series A warrants and series B warrants will be issued in registered form under separate warrant agent agreements, each of which we refer to as a warrant agent agreement, between us and our warrant agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, who we refer to as the warrant agent. The material provisions of the warrants are set forth in this description and a copy of each of the warrant agent agreements has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Our company and the warrant agent may amend or supplement each of the warrant agent agreements without the consent of any holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained therein or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under each of the warrant agent agreements as the parties thereto may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties determine, in good faith, shall not adversely affect the interest of the series A warrant or series B warrant holders, respectively. All other amendments and supplements to each of the warrant agent agreement shall require the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50.1% of each of the series A warrants and series B warrants, as applicable.

Series A Warrants

The series A warrants entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ per share (or 70% of the unit offering price), exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the series A warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend on or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

The series A warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form attached to the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The series A warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their series A warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the series A warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No series A warrants will be exercisable for cash unless at the time of the exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the series A warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the

105

Table of Contents

terms of the series A warrant agent agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the series A warrants until the expiration of the series A warrants. Additionally, the market for the series A warrants may be limited if the prospectus or prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the series A warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of such series A warrants reside. In no event will the registered holders of a series A warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement in lieu of physical settlement in shares of our common stock.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the series A warrants. If, upon exercise of the series A warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. If multiple series A warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we will aggregate the number of whole shares issuable upon exercise of all the series A warrants.

The price of the series A warrants has been arbitrarily established by us and the underwriter after giving consideration to numerous factors, including but not limited to, the pricing of the units in this offering. No particular weighting was given to any one aspect of those factors considered. We have not performed any method of valuation of the warrants.

Series B Warrants

The series B warrants entitle each holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $ per share (or 100% of the unit offering price), exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and subject to certain adjustment and cashless exercise provisions as described herein. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the series B warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend on or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

The series B warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form attached to the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The series B warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their series B warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the series B warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No series B warrants will be exercisable for cash unless at the time of the exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the series B warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the series B warrant agent agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the series B warrants until the expiration of the series B warrants. Additionally, the market for the series B warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the series B warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of such series B warrants reside. In no event will the registered holders of a series B warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement in lieu of physical settlement in shares of our common stock. If we fail to maintain a current prospectus or prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the series B warrants, such holders may exercise their series B warrants on a “cashless” basis pursuant to a formula set forth in the terms of the series B warrants.

Additionally, holders of series B warrants may exercise such warrants on a “cashless” basis upon the earlier of (i) 10 trading days from the issuance date of such warrant or (ii) the time when $10.0 million of volume is traded in our common stock, if the VWAP of our common stock on any trading day on or after the date of issuance fails to exceed the exercise price of the series B warrant (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). In such event, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable in such cashless exercise shall equal the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the series B warrant in accordance with its terms if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise and (y) 1.00.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the series B warrants. If, upon exercise of the series B warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. If multiple series B warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we will aggregate the number of whole shares issuable upon exercise of all the series B warrants.

The price of the series B warrants has been arbitrarily established by us and the Underwriter after giving consideration to numerous factors, including but not limited to, the pricing of the Units in this offering. No particular weighting was given to any one aspect of those factors considered. We have not performed any method of valuation of the warrants.

Future Equity Agreements

We have entered into a future equity agreement with Peah Capital, LLC, pursuant to which we have agreed to issue to Peah Capital, LLC concurrent with the closing of this offering a number of shares of our common stock equal to 75% of all funds loaned to us by it divided by the initial public offering price.

Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Charter Provisions

We have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, except under certain circumstances, with an interested stockholder.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of our company or changing our board of directors and management.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock without further stockholder approval. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

Our bylaws permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships. These provisions will prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. In addition, our bylaws provide that no member of our board of directors may be removed from office by our stockholders without cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of not less than the majority of the total voting power of all of our outstanding voting stock then entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given us timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Furthermore, neither the holders of our common stock nor the holders of our preferred stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing its board of directors.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, telephone 212-828-8436, is the transfer agent for our common stock.

Trading Symbol and Market

We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “SMFL.” The closing of this offering is contingent upon such listing. We do not intend to list the warrants or series B convertible preferred stock on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before this offering, there has not been a public market for shares of our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock, including shares issued upon the conversion of convertible notes, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after this offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our common stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Immediately following the closing of this offering, we will have 20,566,124 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In the event the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full, we will have 20,836,124 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration or qualification under the Securities Act.

Previously issued shares of common stock that were not offered and sold in this offering, as well as shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and subject to employee stock options, are or will be upon issuance, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if such public resale is registered under the Securities Act or if the resale qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below.

Rule 144

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least twelve months, or at least six months in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the ninety (90) days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

• 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding; or

• 1% of the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

Rule 701

In general, Rule 701 allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our capital stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell those shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until ninety (90) days after the date of this prospectus before selling shares pursuant to Rule 701.

Lock-Up Agreements

We and all of our directors and executive officers have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of (i) 12 months after the closing of this offering in the case of our company and (ii) 6 months after the date of this prospectus in the case of our directors and executive officers. See “Underwriting — Lock-Up Agreements.”

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our units that are being issued pursuant to this offering. This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold our units as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) for United States federal income tax purposes. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of the Non-U.S. Holder’s particular investment or other circumstances. Accordingly, all prospective Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the United States federal, state, local and non-United States tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our units.

This summary is based on provisions of the Code, applicable United States Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, all as in effect or in existence on the date of this prospectus. Subsequent developments in United States federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could alter the United States federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our units as described in this summary. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position with respect to one or more of the tax consequences described herein and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of our units.

As used in this summary, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our units that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

• an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership;

• an estate whose income is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

• a trust, if (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Code) has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds our units, the tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships, and partners in partnerships, that hold our units should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our units that are applicable to them.

This summary does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a Non-U.S. Holder, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and the alternative minimum tax, and does not address any special tax rules that may apply to particular Non-U.S. Holders, including, without limitation:

• a Non-U.S. Holder that is a financial institution, insurance company, tax-exempt organization, pension plan, broker, dealer or trader in stocks or securities, foreign currency dealer, U.S. covered expatriate, controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company;

• a Non-U.S. Holder holding our units as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other integrated transaction or a hedge, straddle or synthetic security;

• a Non-U.S. Holder that holds or receives our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or

• a Non-U.S. Holder that at any time owns, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more of our outstanding common stock.

In addition, this summary does not address any U.S. state or local, or non-U.S. or other tax consequences, or any United States federal income tax consequences for beneficial owners of a Non-U.S. Holder, including stockholders of

111

Table of Contents

a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company that holds our units or their constituent stock or warrants. This summary also does not address the effects of other United States federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws.

Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of our units or their constituent stock or warrants.

Characterization of Units and Allocation of Purchase Price

No statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of a unit, or any instrument similar to these units for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. We intend to take the position that the acquisition or disposition of a unit is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the acquisition or disposition of the underlying common stock and series A warrant and series B warrant. By purchasing a unit, you will agree to adopt such treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder of a unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder for such unit between the underlying common stock, series A warrant and series B warrant based on the relative fair market value of each at the time of issuance. Under U.S. federal income tax law, each investor must make his or her own determination of such value based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. Therefore, we urge each investor to consult his or her tax advisor regarding the determination of value for these purposes. The price allocated to each share of common stock, each series A warrant and series B warrant should be the shareholder’s initial tax basis in such shares of common stock or series A warrant or series B warrant. We also intend to take the position that the separation of the common stock, series A warrant and series B warrant constituting a unit is not a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The foregoing treatment of the units, common stock, series A warrant and series B warrant and a holder’s purchase price allocation is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the units, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in a unit (including alternative characterizations of the same). The remainder of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the units described above will be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions

We do not currently expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. If we make distributions of cash or property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our common stock) with respect to our common stock, any such distributions generally will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock and will reduce (but not below zero) such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from a disposition of our common stock subject to the tax treatment described below in “— Dispositions of Our Common Stock.”

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate).

Distributions on our common stock that are treated as dividends and that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to U.S. persons. An exception may apply if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for, and properly claims, the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty and the dividends are not attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder may be eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and its jurisdiction of tax residence. Dividends that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will not be subject to the United States withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) in accordance with the applicable

112

Table of Contents

certification and disclosure requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (unless the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the Non-U.S. Holder’s earnings and profits (attributable to dividends on our common stock or otherwise) that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

The IRS Forms and other certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. A Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS in the form of a U.S. tax return. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their eligibility for benefits under a relevant income tax treaty and the manner of claiming such benefits.

The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “— Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “— FATCA Withholding.”

Dispositions of Our Common Stock

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax (including United States withholding tax) on gain recognized on any sale or other disposition of our common stock unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); in this case, the gain will be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise) and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, the “branch profits tax” described above may also apply;

• the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and meets certain other requirements; in this case, except as otherwise provided by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses (provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed United States federal income tax returns with respect to such losses), generally will be subject to a flat 30% United States federal income tax, even if the Non-U.S. Holder is not treated as a resident of the United States under the Code; or

• we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of (i) the five-year period ending on the date of disposition and (ii) the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock.

Generally, a corporation is a “United States real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming in the future, a United States real property holding corporation. However, because the determination of whether we are a United States real property holding corporation is made from time to time and depends on the relative fair market values of our assets, there can be no assurance in this regard. If we were a United States real property holding corporation, the tax relating to disposition of stock in a United States real property holding corporation generally will not apply to a Non-U.S. Holder whose holdings, direct, indirect and constructive, constituted 5% or less of our common stock at all times during the applicable period, provided that our common stock is “regularly traded on an established securities market” (as provided in applicable United States Treasury regulations) at any time during the calendar year in which the disposition occurs. However, no assurance can be provided that our common stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible adverse United States federal income tax consequences to them if we are, or were to become, a United States real property holding corporation.

The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “— Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “— FATCA Withholding.”

113

Table of Contents

Exercise or Lapse of Series A Warrant or Series B Warrant

In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of a series A warrant or series B warrant, except to the extent the Non-U.S. Holder receives a cash payment for any such fractional share that would otherwise have been issuable upon exercise of the series A warrant or the series B warrant, which will be treated as a sale subject to the rules described under “— Dispositions of Our Common Stock” above. Upon the lapse or expiration of a series A warrant or series B warrant, a Non-U.S. Holder will recognize a loss equal to such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in each series A warrant or series B warrant if the loss is (i) effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such loss is attributable) or (ii) treated as a loss from sources within the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder is present 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Certain Adjustments to the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants

Under Section 305(c) of the Code, an adjustment (or a failure to make an adjustment) to the conversion ratio of a series A warrant and series B warrant that has the effect of increasing a Non-U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings may, in some circumstances, result in a deemed distribution to a Non-U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Adjustments to the conversion rate made pursuant to a bona fide, reasonable, adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing the dilution of the interest of the holders of series A warrants and series B warrants, however, generally will not be deemed to result in a distribution to a Non-U.S. Holder. Any such deemed distribution would be taxable to a Non-U.S. Holder as described above under “— Distributions.”

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) will not apply to payments of dividends on our common stock to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person or is otherwise entitled to an exemption. However, the applicable withholding agent generally will be required to report to the IRS (and to such Non-U.S. Holder) payments of distributions on our common stock and the amount of United States federal income tax, if any, withheld from those payments, regardless of whether such distributions constitute dividends. In accordance with applicable treaties or agreements, the IRS may provide copies of such information returns to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.

The gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our common stock may be subject, in certain circumstances discussed below, to United States backup withholding and information reporting. If a Non-U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of our common stock outside the United States through a non-United States office of a non-United States broker and the disposition proceeds are paid to the Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, then the United States backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, United States information reporting, but not United States backup withholding, will apply to a payment of disposition proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if a Non-U.S. Holder sells our common stock through a non-United States office of a broker that is a United States person or has certain enumerated connections with the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

If a Non-U.S. Holder receives payments of the proceeds of a disposition of our common stock to or through a United States office of a broker, the payment will be subject to both United States backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the broker a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the Non-U.S. Holder’s United States federal income tax liability (which may result in the Non-U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund), provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and related Treasury guidance (commonly referred to as FATCA) impose United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% on payments to certain foreign entities of (i) U.S. source dividends (including dividends paid on our common stock) and (ii) (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S. source dividends (including sales or other dispositions of our common stock). This withholding tax applies to a foreign entity, whether acting as a beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign entity complies with (i) certain information reporting requirements regarding its United States account holders and its United States owners and (ii) certain withholding obligations applicable to certain payments to its account holders and certain other persons. Accordingly, the entity through which a Non-United States Holder holds its common stock will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally will apply to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding FATCA.

UNDERWRITING

Dawson James Securities, Inc. is acting as lead book-running manager of the offering and as representatives of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, each underwriter named below has severally and not jointly agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to that underwriter, the number of units described in this prospectus.

Underwriter		Number of Units
Dawson James Securities, Inc.
Total

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the units in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of such units (other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below) if they purchase any of the units.

The units sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any units sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed $ per unit. If all the units are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted the representative of the underwriters an option exercisable on one or more occasions for up to 45 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, to purchase up to shares of common stock, and/or up to series A warrants, and/or series B warrants at $ per share of common stock, and $ per series A warrant and $ per series B warrant, less underwriting discounts. The underwriters may exercise this option solely to cover over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, and the conditions of the underwriting agreement are satisfied, we will be obligated to sell to the underwriters, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase, these additional shares of common stock and/or warrants.

Underwriting Discounts and Commissions

The following table shows the per unit price and total underwriting discounts and commissions we will pay in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option:

	Per Unit	Total Without Over-Allotment Option	Total With Over-Allotment Option
Initial public offering price	$	$	$
Underwriting discounts and commissions (9%)	$	$	$
Proceeds to us, before expenses	$	$	$

We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriter for its expenses in connection with this offering, including all reasonable fees and expenses of the underwriters’ outside legal counsel, up to $145,000. We estimate the total expenses of this offering which will be payable by us, excluding the underwriting discount and the underwriter’s expenses payable by us, will be approximately $561,000.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Tail Financing

Dawson James Securities, Inc. will be entitled to the compensation discussed above with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind to the extent that financing or capital is provided by investors that were contacted by Dawson James Securities, Inc. during the term of its engagement for this offering or twelve months following the completion thereof.

Lock-up Agreements

We and all of our directors and executive officers have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements in connection with this offering. Under the lock-up agreements, subject to certain exceptions, we and each of these persons may not, without the prior written approval of the representative, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or hedge our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock. These restrictions remain in effect and will generally terminate on the six-month anniversary after the closing date with respect to our directors and executive officers and on the twelve-month anniversary with respect to our company.

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

The underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short sales, and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:

• Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

• A short position involves a sale by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase in the offering, which creates the syndicate short position. This short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares involved in the sales made by the underwriters in excess of the number of shares they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares and/or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through their option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

• Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

• Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters and/or selling group members participating in this offering, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular underwriter or selling group member, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of units for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the representatives on the same basis as other allocations.

Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter’s or selling group member’s website and any information contained in any other web site maintained by an underwriter or selling group member is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any underwriter or selling group member in its capacity as underwriter or selling group member and should not be relied upon by investors.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for the issuer and its affiliates, for which they received or may in the future receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer or its affiliates. If the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, they routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. The underwriters and their affiliates may hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates, including potentially the shares of common stock offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the shares of common stock offered hereby. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Selling Restrictions

This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell to, or a solicitation of an offer to buy from, anyone in any country or jurisdiction (i) in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized, (ii) in which any person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or (iii) in which any such offer or solicitation would otherwise be unlawful. No action has been taken that would, or is intended to, permit a public offer of the units or possession or distribution of this prospectus or any other offering or publicity material relating to the units in any country or jurisdiction (other than the United States) where any such action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, each underwriter has undertaken that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer or sell any units or have in its possession, distribute or publish any prospectus, form of application, advertisement or other document or information in any country or jurisdiction except under circumstances that will, to the best of its knowledge and belief, result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and all offers and sales of units by it will be made on the same terms.

Determination of Public Offering Price

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our securities. The public offering price of the units offered by this prospectus has been determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the public offering price of the units were:

• our history and our prospects;

• our financial information and historical performance;

Table of Contents

• the industry in which we operate;

• the status and development prospects for our products and services;

• the experience and skills of our executive officers; and

• the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.

The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our common stock. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, and we cannot assure you that our common stock can be resold at or above the public offering price.

European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”) an offer to the public of any units which are the subject of the offering contemplated herein may not be made in that Relevant Member State, except that an offer to the public in that Relevant Member State of any units may be made at any time under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive, if they have been implemented in that Relevant Member State:

• to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined under the Prospectus Directive;

• by the underwriters to fewer than 100, or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provisions of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives of the underwriters for any such offer; or

• in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of common stock shall result in a requirement for us or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any units under, the offers contemplated here in this prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with each underwriter and us that:

• it is a qualified investor as defined under the Prospectus Directive; and

• in the case of any units acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the units acquired by it in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, as that term is defined in the Prospectus Directive, or in the circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives of the underwriters has been given to the offer or resale or (ii) where units have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of such units to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.

For the purposes of this representation and the provision above, the expression an “offer of units to the public” in relation to any units in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any units to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the units, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

Note 1 — Description of Business

Smart for Life, Inc., formerly Bonne Santé Group, Inc. (“SFL”), is a Delaware corporation which was formed on February 7, 2017. Structured as a global holding company, it is engaged in the development, marketing, manufacturing, acquisition, operation and sale of a broad spectrum of nutraceutical and related products with an emphasis on Health & Wellness.

On March 8, 2018, SFL acquired 51% of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. and Millenium Natural Health Products, Inc. (collectively, “Millenium”). On October 8, 2019, SFL entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 49% of these companies, subject to certain conditions which were subsequently met. On September 30, 2020, the name of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. was changed to Bonne Sante Natural Manufacturing, Inc. (“BSNM”), and on November 24, 2020, Millenium Natural Health Products Inc. was merged into BSNM.

Based in Doral, Florida, BSNM operates a 22,000 square-foot FDA-certified manufacturing facility. It manufactures nutritional products for a significant number of customers.

On July 1, 2021, SFL acquired Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC d/b/a Smart for Life, Oyster Management Services, Ltd., Lawee Enterprises, L.L.C. and U.S. Medical Care Holdings, L.L.C (collectively, “DSO”). On August 27, 2021, SFL transferred all of the equity interests of Oyster Management Services, Ltd., Lawee Enterprises, L.L.C. and U.S. Medical Care Holdings, L.L.C. to Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC. As a result, these entities are now wholly owned subsidiaries of Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC.

SFL Canada sells retail products through a retail store location in Montreal Canada and the same location also acts as distribution center for international direct to consumer and big box customers. It maintains inventory and employees at this location.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of SFL and its wholly owned subsidiaries BSNM, DSO and SFL Canada (collectively the “Company”) from the effective date of formation and are prepared in the United States Dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, among other items, assessing the collectability of receivables, the realization of deferred taxes, useful lives and recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, assumptions used in the valuation of options, the computation of revenue based on the proportional delivery of services, and accruals for commitments and contingencies. Some of these estimates can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $13,103 and $12,915 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate for uncollectible receivables based on a review of specific accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an ongoing review of collectability, as well as management’s past experience with the customers.

Inventory, net

Inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) (replacement cost or net realizable value). An allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided for slow moving or obsolete inventory to write down historical cost to net realizable value. The Company primarily performs their manufacturing for nutraceuticals in the form of powders, tablets and capsules.

The allowance for obsolescence is an estimate established through charges to cost of goods sold. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based upon several factors which include, but are not limited to, analysis of slow moving inventory, analysis of the selling price of inventory, the predetermined shelf life of the product, and management’s judgment with respect to current economic conditions. Given the nature of the inventory, it is reasonably possible the Company’s estimate of the allowance for obsolescence will change in the near term.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are charged to the asset accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization over the estimated useful lives of various assets using the straight-line method ranging from 3-15 years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets principally consist of customer relationships, intellectual property, and non-compete agreements with employees. The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which ranges from 3 to 5 years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) is less than its carrying amount. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. The Company had no impairment of long-lived assets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Deferred Rent and Rent Expense

The Company leases space under operating leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances funded by landlord incentives, rent holidays and rent escalation clauses which provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease term or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease

term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the first half of the lease and cash payments in excess of rent expense during the latter half. The difference between the rent due under the stated periods of the lease and the straight-line basis is recorded as deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Revenue Recognition

Impact of the initial adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company now evaluates revenue recognition based on the criteria set forth in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard using the modified retrospective method to undelivered performance obligations on existing contracts which resulted in no impact to retained earnings.

The Company evaluates and recognize revenue by:

• identifying the contract(s) with the customer,

• identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

• determining the transaction price,

• allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

• recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

The Company primarily generates revenues by manufacturing and packaging of nutraceutical products as a contract manufacturer for customers. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Freight

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, freight costs amounted to $181,782 and $84,229, respectively and have been recorded in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $518,443 and $36,156, respectively.

market value of the stock options. The Company calculates the amount of tax benefit available by tracking each stock option award on an employee-by-employee basis and on a grant-by-grant basis. The Company then compares the recorded expense to the tax deduction received for each stock option grant.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing.

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Recent Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options and Warrants

The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2020		2019
Risk-free interest rate	0.36	%	1.69	%
Expected volatility	77	%	81	%
Expected life (years)	5		5
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%

The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield constant maturity in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

Preferred Stock

On June 29, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Delaware Secretary of State to establish its series A convertible preferred stock. The Company designated a total of 8,000 shares of its preferred stock as series A convertible preferred stock. The series A convertible preferred stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:

Dividend Rights. Holders of series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.5% of the stated value per share ($1,000, subject to adjustment) per annum, which shall increase to 15% per annum after November 23, 2021 and 24% per annum after December 31, 2021; provided, however, that no dividends shall accrue following the date that a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the series A convertible preferred stock is declared effective by the SEC (the “IPO Date”). The dividends shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily and shall be deemed to accrue whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Any dividends that are not paid within three (3) trading days following a dividend payment date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee at the rate of 15% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law.

Liquidation Rights. Prior to the IPO Date, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon a change of control, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the greater of (a) 150% of the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, for each share held, and (b) the amount that could otherwise be received by a holder for the shares issuable upon conversion of the series A convertible preferred stock in full (ignoring for such purposes any conversion limitations) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of common stock. Following the IPO Date, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon a change of control, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the series A convertible preferred stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations) to common stock which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock.

Voting Rights. Until the IPO Date, the holders of series A convertible preferred stock shall have the same voting rights as the holders of common stock (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock-basis). On and after the IPO Date, the series A convertible preferred stock shall have no voting rights except as set forth below. As long as any shares of series A convertible preferred stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of

Conversion Rights. Each share of series A convertible preferred stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time from at the option of the holder thereof, into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the stated value of such share of series A convertible preferred stock (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon) by the conversion price. The conversion price is initially equal $0.6667 (subject to adjustments); provided, however, if the pre-money valuation of the Company on the IPO Date is less than $75,000,000, the conversion price shall be reduced to equal the product of (i) the then conversion price and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the pre-money valuation of the Company on the IPO Date and (B) $75,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not effect any conversion, and a holder shall not have the right to convert, any portion of the series A convertible preferred stock to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the conversion. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to us.

Commercial Matters

From time to time, the Company may become subject to threatened and/or asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any matters, either individually or in the aggregate, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 14 — Subsequent Events

On November 5, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which it sold 12% unsecured subordinated convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000 to such investors for gross proceeds of $2,250,000 to fund the purchase of Nexus Offers, Inc.

On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a contribution and exchange agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of GSP Nutrition Inc. (“GSP Nutrition”). On December 6, 2021, the acquisition was completed.

The total purchase price was $425,000, payable in 42,500 shares of common stock; provided that if the effective price per share of common stock in the Company’s initial public offering (as determined in accordance with the contribution and exchange agreement) is less than $10 per share, then the Company must issue an additional number of shares of common stock equal to an amount determined by dividing the $425,000 purchase price by the effective offering price per share, minus 42,500. In connection with this acquisition, the Company also issued 14,723 shares of common stock to certain vendors of GSP who agreed to settle accounts payable owed to them into the Company’s common stock.

On September 27, 2021, Ada De Quesada (“De Quesada”) brought a lawsuit against SFL, BSNM and Millenium Natural Health Products, Inc. (the “Defendant Entities”) in the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, having case number 21-021989-CA-01. Within the lawsuit, De Quesada sought damages against the Defendant Entities for breach of contract and failure to indemnify, arising out of an alleged failure by the Defendant Entities to pay an obligation purportedly due to De Quesada stemming from the purchase of the BSNM businesses by SFL. On November 9, 2021, the Defendant Entities filed a Motion to Dismiss the entire lawsuit. Shortly thereafter and as a result of the Motion to Dismiss, the parties engaged in settlement discussions and agreed to a settlement of $75,000 to be paid over a period of time. A draft of the confidential settlement agreement has been circulated for review and execution amongst the parties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Management and Board of Directors Smart for Life, Inc.

Doral, Florida

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Smart for Life, Inc. (the “Company”) at December 31, 2020, and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SMART FOR LIFE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

Note 1 — Description of Business

Bonne Santé Group, Inc., is a Delaware corporation which was formed on February 7, 2017. The Company is engaged in the development, marketing, manufacturing, acquisition, operation and sale of a broad spectrum of nutraceutical and related products with an emphasis on Health & Wellness. Structured as a global holding company. On August 4, 2021 the Company changed it’s name to Smart for Life, Inc. (“SFL”)

On March 8, 2018, our Company acquired 51% of Millenium Natural Manufacturing Corp. and Millenium Natural Health Products, Inc., which we refer to collectively as Millenium. Based in Doral, Florida, Millenium operates a 22,000 square-foot FDA-certified manufacturing facility. Millenium manufactures nutritional products for a significant number of customers. Millennium was rebranded “Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing” (“BSNM”)

On October 8, 2019, our Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 49% of BSNM, subject to certain conditions which were subsequently met for $100,000. The Company recorded the increase in ownership interests as a transaction within stockholders’ deficit. As a result of this transaction, noncontrolling interests were reduced by $381,376 reflecting the carrying value of the interest.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of SFL and its wholly owned subsidiary BSNM, (collectively the “Company”) from the effective date of formation and are prepared in the United States Dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

At December 31, 2020 the Company had liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of approximately $7.1 million. During 2020, the Company received approximately $2.6 million from the proceeds from the issuance of indebtedness but sustained a net loss of approximately $3.1 million and had consumed cash in operating activities of approximately $1.9 million during the year.

To date the Company has satisfied its capital needs with the net proceeds from its issuance of notes payable and bank debt. Company management expects to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next 12 months.

Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company completed a series of transactions, including an $11.0 million equity and debt financing (see Note 13). These events served to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on this analysis the Company concluded it has the ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate for uncollectible receivables based on a review of specific accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an ongoing review of collectability, as well as management’s past experience with the customers. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,915 and $2,569 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Long-Lived Assets

Lease Right-of-Use Asset

The Company records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified either as finance or operating with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition.

SMART FOR LIFE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and are discounted using the most reasonable incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the implicit rate when it is readily determinable. Since the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement. Leases with a term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight- line basis over the lease term.

Debt Issuance Cost

In accordance with ASC 835-30 Other Presentation Matters, the Company has reported debt issuance cost as a deduction from the carrying amount of line of credit and will amortize these costs using the effective interest method over the term of the debt as interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

Impact of the initial adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606

The Company evaluates and recognize revenue by:

• identifying the contract(s) with the customer,

• identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

• determining the transaction price,

• allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

• recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Freight

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, freight costs amounted to $84,229 and $59,593, respectively and have been recorded in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $36,593 and $28,306, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Company records Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan proceeds in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 470, Debt . Debt is extinguished when either the debtor pays the creditor or the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor, either judicially or by the creditor.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for stock options and warrants granted over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair market value of the stock options. The Company calculates the amount of tax benefit available by tracking each stock option award on an employee-by-employee basis and on a grant-by-grant basis. The Company then compares the recorded expense to the tax deduction received for each stock option grant.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing. Due to the continued losses full valuation at the end of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounting Pronouncement Adopted

The Company has adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires lessees to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.

Discount Rate Applied to Property Operating Lease

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for its operating lease at January 1, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. This assessment included the evaluation of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to determine which deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future.

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. Currently, the tax years subsequent to 2018 are open and subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $6.8 million, which will be available to offset future taxable income.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of consolidated financial condition, liquidity or operations for 2020.

Note 1 — Description of Business

Nexus Offers, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida corporation which was formed on October 10, 2016. The Company operates a cost per action/cost per acquisition network. This is an advertising model where publishers are paid for an action that is taken as a direct result of their marketing. Through the publisher’s method of marketing, the Company sends traffic to one of the advertiser’s product offers listed on the network. Examples of the publishers marketing tactics include but are not limited to native ads, email marketing, SEO and social media traffic. The products on the network come from several different advertisers which pay the Company a specific amount per sale. A portion of that sale made is paid out to the publisher. The Company has established long-term relationships with many advertisers and publishers. The Company also has internal data streams it utilizes to create email lists and produce sales internally to the multitude of advertiser products on the network. It has created a plug-and-play streamlined business that allows for seamless scalability into any vertical, niche or product.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, among other items, assessing the collectability of receivables, the realization of deferred taxes, the computation of revenue based on the proportional delivery of services, and accruals for commitments and contingencies. Some of these estimates can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate for uncollectible receivables based on a review of specific accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an ongoing review of collectability, as well as management’s past experience with the customers. There was no allowance at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The Company evaluates and recognize revenue by:

• identifying the contract(s) with the customer,

• identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

• determining the transaction price,

• allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

• recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

The Company primarily generates revenues by sending traffic to one of the advertiser’s products listed on the network. Examples of the publishers marketing tactics include but are not limited to native ads, email marketing, SEO and social media traffic. The products on the network come from several different advertisers which pay the Company a specific amount per sale. The revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of the service to the advertiser. A portion of that sale made is paid out to the publisher. The Company also has internal data streams it utilizes to create email lists and produce sales internally to the multitude of advertiser products on the network. To illustrate the revenue process, a publisher logs onto the platform and selects an offer to promote for the day. The platform generates a unique link which the publisher distributes either via email or a banner ad. As individuals use that link and make purchases, the traffic is credited to their affiliate account. The benefit to the publisher is that they get paid and there are no claw backs in a click per action environment. The software platforms act as the transaction ledger, keeping track of clicks, sales and commissions.

The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $38,944 and $34,422, respectively.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Note 3 — Debt

In June 2020, the Company received Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) from the Small Business Administration in the amount of $59,900. The loans mature in 30 years and bear interest at a rate of 3.75%. The EIDL may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the EIDL may only be used as working capital to alleviate economic injury caused by disaster occurring in the month of January 2020, and continuing thereafter, and to pay Uniform Commercial Code lien filing fees. The Company intends to use the funds from the EIDL for qualifying expenses. These amounts were fully repaid in September 2021 and were therefore listed as short-term.

Notes payable consists of the following at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

Note 4 — Concentrations of Credit Risks

Credit Risks

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains bank accounts with a single financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited to the dispersion of customers across different industries and geographic regions.

Cash

The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000 per institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Major Customers and Vendors

The Company had three (3) and three (3) significant customers representing a total of 43% and 64% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. These customers represented 8% and 31% of customer accounts receivable at September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The Company contracts with individuals which refer clients and are paid based on leads and how successful those leads are for the Company. This activity is captured and payable on a monthly basis. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, one vendor accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of total purchases, respectively. This vendor represented 20% and none of outstanding commissions payable at September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

• recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

The Company primarily generates revenues by sending traffic to one of the advertiser’s products offers listed on the network. Examples of the publishers marketing tactics include but are not limited to native ads, email marketing, SEO, and social media traffic. The products on the network come from several different advertisers which pay the Company a specific amount per sale. The revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of the service to the advertiser. A portion of that sale made is paid out to the publisher. The Company also has internal data streams it utilizes to create email lists and produce sales internally to the multitude of advertiser products on the network. To illustrate the revenue process, a publisher logs onto the platform and selects an offer to promote for the day. The platform generates a unique link which the publisher distributes either via email or a banner ad. As individuals use that link and make purchases, the traffic is credited to their affiliate account. The benefit to the publisher is that they get paid and there are no claw backs in a click per action environment. The software platforms act as the transaction ledger, keeping track of clicks, sales and commissions.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $60,744 and $21,422, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examination by tax authorities generally remain open for three (3) years from the date of filing. Due to the continued losses full valuation at the end of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Note 3 — Debt

Note Payable — Economic Injury Disaster Loan

In June 2020, the Company was granted a disaster loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, in the amount of $59,900. The EIDL, which was in the form of a note dated June 19, 2020, bears interest of 3.75% per annum, payable monthly for $2,437 commencing in June of 2021.

The EIDL may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the EIDL may only be used as working capital to alleviate economic injury caused by disaster occurring in the month of January 2020, and continuing thereafter, and to pay Uniform Commercial Code lien filing fees. The Company intends to use the funds from the EIDL for qualifying expenses. These amounts were fully repaid in September 2021 and therefore listed as short-term.

Note 4 — Concentrations of Credit Risks

Credit Risks

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains bank accounts with a single financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited to the dispersion of customers across different industries and geographic regions.

Cash

The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had cash balances of $0 and $0 in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000 per institution.

Major Customers and Vendors

The Company had four (4) and two (2) significant customers representing a total of 54% and 21% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company contracts with individuals which refer clients and are paid based on leads and how successful those leads are for the Company. This activity is captured and payable on a monthly basis. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, one vendor accounted for approximately 12% and none of total purchases, respectively. This vendor represented 25% and none of outstanding commissions payable at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

• allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

• recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

The Company primarily generates revenues by manufacturing and sales of weight management products under its own brands and as a contract manufacturer for customers. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Freight

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, freight costs amounted to $260,718 and $273,917, respectively and have been recorded in cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $628,440 and $462,900, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company operates as a limited liability company whereby all of the tax impacts pass through to the member. Accordingly, no liability or uncertain tax positions has been recognized by the Company.

Leases

On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize their operating leases on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability for leases where the lease term is greater than 12 months. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and are discounted using the most reasonable incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the prime rate as the discount rate, since the only debt the Company has are government issued loans at a minimal borrowing rate. Leases with a term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our Statement of Operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of consolidated financial condition, liquidity or operations for 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of Business

Each wholly owned subsidiary services customers in different sales markets. Based in Riviera Beach, Florida, DSO operates a 35,000 square-foot FDA-certified manufacturing facility.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of DSO and its wholly owned subsidiaries Oyster, Lawee and U.S. Medical. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates include, among other items, assessing the collectability of receivables, useful lives and recoverability of tangible assets, and accruals for commitments and contingencies. Some of these estimates can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company does not accrue finance or interest charges. The Company uses an allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate for uncollectible receivables based on a review of specific accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company writes off specific accounts based on an ongoing review of collectability, as well as management’s past experience with the customers. Allowance for doubtful accounts were $90,731 and $35,016 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. An allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided for slow moving or obsolete inventory to write down historical cost to net realizable value. The Company primarily performs its manufacturing for nutraceuticals in the form of powders, tablets, and capsules.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The allowance for obsolescence is an estimate established through charges to cost of goods sold. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based upon several factors which include, but are not limited to, analysis of slow-moving inventory, analysis of the selling price of inventory, the predetermined shelf life of the product, and management’s judgment with respect to current economic conditions. Given the nature of the inventory, it is reasonably possible the Company’s estimate of the allowance for obsolescence will change in the near term. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no allowance for inventory obsolescence.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are charged to the asset accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from five (5) to seven (7) years.

Long-Lived Assets

Lease Right-of-Use Asset

Revenue Recognition

The Company evaluates revenue recognition based on the criteria set forth in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company evaluates and recognize revenue by:

• identifying the contract(s) with the customer,

• identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

• determining the transaction price,

• allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

• recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Distribution expenses to transport the Company’s products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

Freight

The Company charges its customers a flat rate for shipping and handling. Freight costs are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, freight costs amounted to $484,503 and $599,174, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred advertising costs of $1,018,570 and $374,511, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program

Income Taxes

DSO, Lawee and U.S. Medical are limited liability companies that have elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. Oyster is a limited partnership. As a result, income tax liabilities are passed through to the individual member. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. At December 31, 2020, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company’s tax years subject to examinations by the U.S. federal, state and local non-U.S. tax authorities generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.

Accounting Pronouncement Adopted

Note 3 — Fair Value Disclosures

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and term loans. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate its fair values due to their short-term nature or market interest rates. The term loans approximate fair value due to the current rate of interest charged.

Note 8 — Operating Lease

On September 1, 2018, the Company entered into an operating lease with an initial 5 year term with a related party for its warehouse space in Riviera Beach, Florida.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or operations for 2021.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon the conversion or exercise of series A convertible preferred stock, warrants and debentures held by the selling stockholders. For additional information regarding the issuances of those securities, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Recent Developments” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of these securities, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years and based on the information provided to us by the selling stockholders, no selling stockholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of series A convertible preferred stock, warrants and debentures as of , 2022, assuming the conversion of the series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the debentures held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions and exercises.

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of all shares of series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of all warrants and the conversion of all debentures held by the selling stockholders, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of this prospectus and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the conversion or exercise of these securities. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the series A convertible preferred stock, the warrants and the debentures, a selling stockholder may not convert the series A convertible preferred stock, exercise the warrants or convert the debentures to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such conversion or exercise. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the selling stockholder and in its sole discretion, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to us. The number of shares in the table below do not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales will occur at a fixed price of $5.00 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplace, or listed on a national securities exchange. Thereafter, these sales will occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

• privately negotiated transactions;

• settlement of short sales;

• in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

• a combination of any such methods of sale; or

• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

[Alternate Page for Resale Prospectus]

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

The following table sets forth the costs and expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by us in connection with the sale of common shares being registered. All amounts, other than the SEC registration fee, Nasdaq listing fee and FINRA filing fee, are estimates. We will pay all these expenses.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including payment of expenses in advance of resolution of any such matter.

We intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. Each indemnification agreement will provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements will provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

We are in the process of obtaining standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to us with respect to payments which we may make to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

The underwriting agreement, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement, will provide for indemnification, under certain circumstances, by the underwriter of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

On December 18, 2020, we entered into a future equity agreement with Peah Capital, LLC, pursuant to which we have agreed to issue to Peah Capital, LLC concurrent with the closing of this offering a number of shares of our common stock equal to 75% of all funds loaned to us by it divided by the initial public offering price. The aggregate amount loaned to us by Peah Capital, LLC is $1,675,000. We also issued a warrant for the purchase of 1,292,445 shares of common stock to Peah Capital, LLC. This warrant is exercisable for the period commencing on January 31, 2022 and ending on December 18, 2027; provided that, the warrant will automatically expire and terminate in the event a registration statement covering the resale of all shares issued pursuant the future equity agreement has been declared effective by the SEC. The exercise price of this warrant is $0.0001, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions. In addition, in the event that the number of our outstanding shares of common stock is increased prior to the 18-month anniversary of the warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant shall be automatically increased to represent that number which is 9.9% of the then total outstanding capitalization.

On November 5, 2021, we completed a private placement in which we sold 12% unsecured subordinated convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000 to certain investors for gross proceeds of $2,250,000. At any time after the sixth month anniversary of the IPO date, the holders may convert the principal amount of the debentures into shares of common stock at a conversion price that is equal to 50% of the effective initial public offering price (as described in the debentures); provided that after the IPO date, the conversion price shall be reduced to the lower of such price and the lowest volume weighted average price during the 10 trading days immediately following the IPO date; provided further, that the conversion price shall not be less than $1.00. Please see “Description of Securities” for a description of the debentures issued in this private placement. The issuance of these securities was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On December 6, 2021, we issued 42,500 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of GSP Nutrition in connection with the acquisition of GSP Nutrition.

The aggregate principal amount loaned to us by these lenders is $5,880,405. The issuance of these securities was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

In instances described above where we indicate that we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in issuing securities, our reliance was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offeree and us.

Table of Contents

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
