CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and “would.” For example, statements concerning financial condition, possible or assumed future results of operations, growth opportunities, industry ranking, plans and objectives of management, and markets for our common stockshares and future management and organizational structure are all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement.

 

Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed throughout our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any updates described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits to the reports we file with the SEC completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.  You should assume that the information appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is accurate as of the date hereof.  Because the risk factors in our SEC reports could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise.  In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.  We qualify all of the information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, duringfor the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company incurred net losses from operations of $7,250,699$7,250,698835,794 and used cash in operations of $2,693,632678,108$2,838,907..

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Revenue Recognition

For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective Accounting Standards UpdateUpdates (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC Topic 606”).Recognition. The objective of the guidance is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The core principle is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options were made available for implementation of the standard: the full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606 for its reporting period as of the year ended December 31, 2017, which made its implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606 effective in the first quarter of 2018. The Company decided to implement the modified retrospective transition method to implement FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. Using this transition method, the Company applied the new standards to all new contracts initiated on or after the effective date. The Company also decided to apply this method to any incomplete contracts that it determineddetermines are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. For the quarter ended September 30,March 31, 2021, there were no incomplete contracts. As is more fully discussed below, the Company is of the opinion that none of its contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.

Identification of Our Contracts with Customers

Contracts included in the Company’sits application of FASB ASC Topic 606, for the quarter ended September 30,March 31, 2021, consisted solely of sales of the Company’s hempSMART™ products as well as products frommade by its new subsidiary cDistro. With respect tosales associates and by the Company’sCompany directly through its website. Regarding its offered financial accounting, bookkeeping and/or real property management consulting services, to date no contracts have been entered into, and thus 0 reportable revenues have resulted for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 orand, 2019, or for the quarter ended September 30,March 31, 2021.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company is of the opinion that somenone of its hempSMART™ product sales or offered consulting service, each of which are discussed below, have a significant financing component. The Company’s opinion is based upon the transactional basis for its product sales, with revenue recognized upon customer order, payment and/or shipment.and shipment, which occurs concurrently. The Company’s evaluation of the length of time between some of the customer orders,order, payment and shipping is not a significant financing component, while other shipmentsbecause shipment occurs the same day as the order is placed and payment made by the customer. The Company’s evaluation of its consulting services is based upon recognizing revenue as the services are performed for a determinable price per hour. The Company only recognizes revenues as incurredit incurs and chargecharges billable hours. Because the Company’s hourly fees for services are fixed and determinable and are only earned and recognized as revenue upon actual performance, the Company is of the opinion that such arrangements are not an indicator of a vendor or customer based significant financing, that would materially change the amount of revenue the Company recognizes under the contract or would otherwise contain a significant financing component under FASB ASC Topic 606.

 

Determination of the Price in Our Sales Contracts

The transaction prices in the Company’s sales contract are the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to for transferring promised products. The consideration amount is fixed and not variable. The transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations in the contract. These allocated amounts are recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are fulfilled, which is concurrently upon receipt of shipment and or/payment. There are no future options for a contract when considering and determining the transaction price. The Company excludes amounts third parties will eventually collect, such as sales tax, when determining the transaction price. Since the timing between receiving consideration and transferring goods or services for some of the products are not immediate, the Company’s sales contract have a significant financing component, i.e., recognizing revenue at the amount that reflects the invoice and/or cash payment that the customer would have made at the time the goods or services were transferred to them (cash or invoice selling price).

Allocation of the Transaction Price of Our Sales Contracts

The Company’s sales contracts are not considered multi-element arrangements which require the fulfillment of multiple performance obligations. Rather, the Company’s sales contracts include one performance obligation in each contract. As such, from the outset, the Company allocates the total consideration to each performance obligation based on the fixed and determinable standalone selling price, which the Company believes is an accurate representation of what the price is in each transaction.

Recognition of Revenue when the Performance Obligation is Satisfied

A performance obligation is satisfied when or as control of the good or service is transferred to the customer. ASC 606-10-20 defines control as “the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.” For performance obligations that are fulfilled at a point in time, revenue is recognized at the fulfillment of the performance obligation. As noted above, the Company’s performance obligation sales contracts are related to its promise to provide products to the customers upon delivery and/or receipt of payment, and upon completion, allows the Company to realize revenue under its revenue recognition policy.

With respect to the Company’s offered financial accounting, bookkeeping and/or real property management consulting services, to date no contracts have been entered into, and thus no reportable revenues have resulted for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 or for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. 

Identifying the Performance Obligations in Our Sales Contracts

In analyzing the Company’s sales contracts, the Company’s policy is to identify the distinct performance obligations in a sales contract arrangement. In determining the Company’s performance obligations under its sales contracts, the Company considers that the terms and conditions of sales are explicitly outlined in its sales contracts and are so distinct and identifiable within the context of each sales contract, and so are not integrated with other goods, or constitute a modification or customization of other goods in the Company’s contracts, or are highly dependent or highly integrated with other goods in the Company’s sales contracts. Thus, the Company’s performance obligations are singularly related to its promise to provide the products upon delivery and/or receipt of payment. The Company offers an assurance warranty on its products that allows a customer to return any products within 30 days if not satisfied for any reason. Assurance warranties are not identifiable performance obligations since they may be elected at the whim of the customer for any reason. However, the Company does account for returns of purchase prices, if made.

On May 20, 2021, the Company purchased a new cannabis extraction machine which is to be leased to a cannabis distributor and manufacturer called Lynwood-MCOA joint venture. This joint venture is between Cannabis Global Inc. and the Company and pertains to the licensed cannabis operations of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc. in the city of Lynwood, CA. The Company has retained control of title of the machine. The Equipment was leased to Lynwood- MCOA joint venture for a monthly fee of $7,500, beginning ninety (90) days after the Effective Date of May 20, 2021, for a period of two (2) years. After this two-year period, title to all such equipment shall revert to the joint venture at the agreed upon residual value of the equipment. The Company recorded $12,581 and $0 in equipment lease revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively pursuant to ASC 842.

Product Sales

 

Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when (1) an order is placed by the customer; (2) the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed; (3) the customer is required to and concurrently pays for the product upon order; and, (4) the product is shipped. The evaluation of the Company’s recognition of revenue after the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 606 did not include any judgments or changes to judgments that affected the Company’s reporting of revenues, since the Company’sits product sales, both pre and post adoption of FASB ASC Topic 606, were evaluated using the same standards as noted above, reflecting revenue recognition upon order, payment and shipment, which all occurs concurrently when the order is placed and paid for by the customer, and the product is shipped. Further, given the facts that (1) the Company’s customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product orderorder; and, (2) the price negotiated in the Company’s product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, and there is no delay in shipment, the Company is of the opinion that its product sales do not indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for the Company or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash

The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Occasionally, the Company’s cash in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis. Thus, trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Any charges to the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and the current status of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, allowance for doubtful accounts was $37,6323,267 and $0, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. During the periods presented, there were no inventory write-downs.

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales is comprised of cost of product sold, packaging, and shipping costs.

Stock-BasedStock Based Compensation - Employees

The Company accountsmeasures the cost of services received in exchange for the stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718-10-30. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-30-6, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuancean award of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received oraward. For employees and directors, the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whicheveraward is more reliably measurable.  

The measurementmeasured on the grant date used to determineand for non-employees, the fair value of the equity instrument issuedaward is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the earlier of the date on which the performanceservice period is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement based on sales to third parties or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

complete. The fair value of share options and similar instrumentsamount is estimated onthen recognized over the date of grant using a Binomial Option Model option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptionsperiod during which services are required to be provided in exchange for inputs are as follows:

Expected term of share options and similar instruments. The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and/or similar instruments are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to ASC 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i), the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  Pursuant to ASC 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term equal the quotient of the vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two if (i) a company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) a company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) a company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments. 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock options, warrants, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the grant date of the award, based onusually the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Stock-Based Compensation – Non Employees

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“Topic 718”).The ASU supersedes ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payment to Non-Employment, and expands the scope of the Topic 718 to include stock-based payments granted to non-employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement date and performance and vesting conditions for stock-based payments to non-employees are aligned with those of employees, most notably aligning the award measurement date with the grant date of an award. The new guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs areoperations, as follows:if such amounts were paid in cash. 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to ASC 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i), the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and the holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  The Company uses historical data to estimate the holder’s expected exercise behavior.  If a company is a newly formed corporation or shares of such company are thinly traded, the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as such company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. 
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii), a thinly-traded or non-public entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. “DilutedDiluted earnings per share”share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s share-based awards and convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of the Company’s share-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all share-based awards are exercised and the hypothetical proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares (difference between shares assumed to be issued versus purchased), to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation. The dilutive effect of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures is computed using the if-converted method, which assumes conversion at the beginning of the year.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.

Investments

 

Investments

The Company follows ASC subtopic 321-10, Investments-Equity Securities (“ASC 321-10”) which requires the accounting for an equity security to be measured at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses are included in current period operations. Where an equity security is without a readily determinable fair value, the Company may elect to estimate its fair value at cost minus impairment plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes (See Note 6).

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) providing that such contracts are indexed to the Company's own stock. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.

The Company’s free-standing derivatives consisted of conversion options embedded within its issued convertible debt and warrants with anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. The Company evaluated these derivatives to assess their proper classification in the balance sheet using the applicable classification criteria enumerated under GAAP.  The Company determined that certain conversion and exercise options do not contain fixed settlement provisions.  The convertible notes contain a conversion feature and warrants have a reset provision such that the Company could not ensure it would have adequate authorized shares to meet all possible conversion demands.

As such, the Company was required to record the conversion feature and the reset provision which does not have fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and mark to market all such derivatives to fair value at the end of each reporting period.   

The Company has adopted a sequencing policy that reclassifies contracts (from equity to assets or liabilities) with the most recent inception date first. Thus, any available shares are allocated first to contracts with the most recent inception dates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash, accounts payables and short termshort-term notes because they are short term in nature.

Advertising

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company charged to operations $183,491 42,565and $159,42869,868 as advertising costs for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and 2020, respectively, as advertising costs.liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company has 0t recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

Segment Information

ASC subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 ("(“ASC 280-10"280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity Securities, Equity-method Investments and Certain Derivatives In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The guidance provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. ASU 2020-01 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASE

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset for substantially all leases, as well as additional disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), which provides an optional transition method of applying the new lease standard. ASU 2018-11, Topic 842can be applied using either a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented, or as permitted by ASU 2018-11, at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted.

 

17 

The CompanyWe adopted this standard using a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the adoption date; initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the adoption date; and, the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASU 2018-11, Leases,ASC 842 allowing it to account for its existing operating lease that commenced before the adoption date as an operating lease under the new guidance without reassessing (i) whether the contract contains a lease; (ii) the classification of the lease; or, (iii) the accounting for indirect costs as defined in ASC 842.

On May 31, 2021, the Company’s operating lease for its office space located at 1340 West Valley Parkway, Suite 205, Escondido, CA 92029 expired and, at that time, the Company fully amortized its right-of-use asset for such lease. On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into an office accommodation agreement whereby it may access a shared office space located at 633 West Fifth Street, Suite 2826, Los Angeles, CA 90071 on a month-to-month basis over a one-year term for a fee of $2,349 per month. In considering its qualitative disclosure obligations under ASC 842-20-50-3, the Company examined its office accommodation agreementone lease for office space that has a fixed monthly feerent with no variable lease payments and no options to extend. The lease is for an office accommodation agreement createsspace with no tenancy, leasehold, or other real property interest, other than a shared right-of-use.right of use assets. The office accommodation agreementlease does not provide for terms and conditions granting residual value guarantees by the Company, or any restrictions or covenants imposed by the lease for dividends or incurring additional financial obligations by the Company.

The Company determined underalso elected a short-term lease exception policy and an accounting policy to not separate non-lease components from lease components for its facility lease.

Consistent with ASC 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842)842-20-50-4, for the Company's quarterly financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2022 , duethe Company calculated its total lease cost based solely on its monthly rent obligation. The Company had no cash flows arising from its lease, no finance lease cost, short term lease cost, or variable lease costs. The Company’s office lease does not produce any sublease income or any net gain or loss recognized from sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company did not need to segregate amounts between finance and operating leases for cash paid for amounts included in the short-term naturemeasurement of lease liabilities, segregated between operating and financing cash flows; supplemental non-cash information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets; weighted-average calculations for the office accommodation agreement, that such agreement metremaining lease term; or the criteria of ASC 842-20-25-2 and as such it is not necessary to capitalize the office accommodation agreement and fees will be recognized on a monthly straight-line basis. weighted-average discount rate.

The adoption of this guidance resulted in no significant impact to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

 

COVID-19 – Going Concern

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the global emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business is currently unknown. The Company will continue to monitor guidance and orders issued by federal, state, and local authorities with respect to COVID-19. As a result, the Company may take actions that alter its business operations as may be required by such guidance and orders or take other steps that the Company determines are in the best interest of its employees, customers, partners, suppliers and stockholders.

Any such alterations or modifications could cause substantial interruption to the Company’s business and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and could include temporary closures of one or more of the Company’s facilities; temporary or long-term labor shortages; temporary or long-term adverse impacts on the Company’s supply chain and distribution channels; and the potential of increased network vulnerability and risk of data loss resulting from increased use of remote access and removal of data from the Company’s facilities. In addition, COVID-19 could negatively impact capital expenditures and overall economic activity in the impacted regions or depending on the severity, globally, which could impact the demand for the Company’s products and services.

It is unknown whether and how the Company may be impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic persists for an extended period of time or if there are increases in its breadth or in its severity, including as a result of the waiver of regulatory requirements or the implementation of emergency regulations to which the Company is subject. The COVID-19 pandemic poses a risk that the Company or its employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period.

The Company may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of its control, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results, financial condition and the trading price of its common stock. The COVID-19 pandemic made our hempSMART products, which are considered a supplement, not as attractive to clients struggling to survive financially with less disposable income. Additionally, our staff were unable to work from our office. This created a less efficient environment for the sales team and our ability to fulfill orders.

On March 16, 2017, the Companywe entered into a joint venture agreement with Bougainville Ventures, Inc. (“Bougainville”), a Canadian corporation,corporation. The purpose of the joint venture was for the Company and Bougainville to (i) jointly engage in the development and promotion of products in the legalized cannabis industry in Washington State; (ii) utilize Bougainville'sBougainville’s high quality cannabis grow operations in the State of Washington, where it claimed to have an ownership interest in real property for use within the legalized cannabis industry; (iii) leverage Bougainville’s agreement with a I-502I502 Tier 3 license holder to grow cannabis on the site; provide technical and management services and resources including, but not limited to,to: sales and marketing, agricultural procedures, operations, security and monitoring, processing and delivery, branding, capital resources and financial management; and, (iv) optimize collaborative business opportunities. The Company and Bougainville agreed to operate through a Washington State Limited Liability Company, and BV-MCOA Management, LLC a limited liability companywas organized in the State of Washington on May 17,16, 2017.

 

PursuantAs our contribution to the joint venture, agreement, the Company committed to raise not less than $1,000,000 to fund joint venture operations, based upon a funding schedule. The Company also committed to providing branding and systems for the representation of cannabis related products and derivatives comprised of management, marketing and various proprietary methodologies directly tailored to the cannabis industry.

The joint ventureCompany and Bougainville’s agreement provided that funding provided by the Company would contribute towards the joint venture’s ultimate purchase of the land consisting of a one-acre parcel located in Okanogan County, Washington, for joint venture operations.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 11, 2017, the Company did not comply with the funding schedule for the joint venture. On November 6, 2017, the Company and Bougainville amended the joint venture agreement to reduce the amount of the Company'sCompany’s commitment from $1,000,000 to $800,000, and also required the Company to issue Bougainville 15 million shares of the Company'sCompany’s restricted common stock. The Company completed its payments pursuant to the amended agreement on November 7, 2017, and on November 9, 2017, issued to Bougainville 15 million shares of restricted common stock. The amended agreement provided that Bougainville would deed the real property to the joint venture within thirty days of its receipt of payment.

Thereafter, the Company determined that Bougainville had no ownership interest in the property in Washington State, but rather was a party to a purchase agreement for real property that was in breach of contract for non-payment. Bougainville also did not possess an agreement with a Tier 3 I-502I502 license holder to grow marijuanaMarijuana on the property. Nonetheless, as a result of funding arranged for by the Company, Bougainville and an unrelated third party, Green Ventures Capital Corp., purchased the land, but did not deed the real property to the joint venture. Bougainville failed to pay delinquent property taxes to Okanogan County and as a result, as further discussed below, to date, the property has not been deeded to the joint venture.

To clarify the respective contributions and roles of the parties, the Company offered to enter into good faith negotiations to revise and restate the joint venture agreement with Bougainville.

However, Bougainville failed to cooperate or communicate with the Company in good faith, and failed to pay the delinquent taxes on the real property that would allow for sub-division and the deeding of the real property to the joint venture.

On August 10, 2018, the Company advised its independent auditor that Bougainville did not cooperate or communicate with the Company regarding its requests for information concerning the audit of Bougainville’s receipt and expenditures of $800,000$800,000 contributed by the Company toin the joint venture.venture agreement. Bougainville had a material obligation to do so under the joint venture agreement. The Company believes that some of the funds it paid to Bougainville were misappropriated and that there was self-dealing with respect to those funds. Additionally, the Company believes that Bougainville misrepresented material facts in the joint venture agreement, as amended, including, but not limited to, Bougainville’s representations that: (i) it had an ownership interest in real property that was to be deeded to the joint venture; (ii) it had an agreement with a Tier 3 I-502# I502 cannabis license holder to grow cannabis on the real property; and, (iii) that clear title to the real property associated with the Tier 3 I-502# I502 license would be deeded to the joint venture thirty days after the Company made its final funding contribution. As a result, on September 20, 2018, the Company filed a lawsuitsuit against Bougainville Ventures, Inc., BV-MCOA Management, LLC, Andy Jagpal, Richard Cindric, et al. in Okanogan County Washington Superior Court, case number 18-2-0045324.18-2- 0045324.

Convertible notes payable - Crown Bridge Partners LLC

From October 1 through December 31, 2019, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $225,000 to Crown Bridge Partners LLC (“Crown Bridge”). The promissory notes bear interest at 10% per annum, were due one year from the respective issuance date and include an original issuance discount in the aggregate principal amount of $22,500. Interest shall accrue from the issuance date, but interest shall not become payable until the notes becomes payable. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a conversion price that is equal to 60% of the lowest trading price during the 15-trading-day period prior to the conversion date. Upon the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the notes, should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares of common stock would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions. As of the funding date of each note, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivative associated with the convertibility of each note. The fair value of the embedded derivative has been added to the debt discount (total debt discount is limited to the face value of the debt) with any excess of the derivative liability recognized as interest expense. The aggregate debt discount of $88,674 is being amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the notes.

The Company shall have the right to prepay the notes for an amount ranging from 125% to 140% multiplied by the outstanding balance (all principal and accrued interest) depending on the prepayment period which ranges from 1 to 180 days following the issuance date of the notes. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of any note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the investor, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the note.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owed an aggregate of $35,000 and $35,000 of principal, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owed accrued interest of $0 on the convertible promissory notes.

Convertible notes payable - GS Capital Partners LLC

In August 2021, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $82,000 to GS Capital. The promissory notes bear interest at 10% per annum and is due one year from the respective issuance date and include an original issuance discount in aggregate of $7,000. In connection with the Note, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock with a fair value of $18,086, which was recorded as a debt discount. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued 216,820,755 shares of common stock for the full settlement of the note along with the accrued interest on the note.

The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after cash payment, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 62% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase.

The fair values were determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 95.197.52% to 198.2199.29%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.051.06% to 0.282.45%, (4) expected life of 0.050.5 to 4.74.2 years, (5) conversion prices of $0.00040.00033 to $0.0070.005 and (6) the Company's common stock price of $0.0029$0.001 per share as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

 

For the ninethree-month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,026,929, which included a gain of $1,077,624 related to convertible notes payable, a gain of $50,695 related to the settlement of the fair value of derivatives as a result of repayments on the convertible notes, and also recognized a loss of $22,558 related to the excess of the fair value of derivatives at issuance above convertible note principle as a charge to interest expense. During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, derivative liabilities of $233,069 were reclassified to additional paid in capital as a result of conversions of the underlying notes payable into common stock. For the period ended March 31, 2021 the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,101,6402,326,018, which included a gain of $649,961 related to convertible notes payable and an a loss of $1,035,115694,754 related to the excess of the fair value of derivatives at issuance above convertible note principal as a charge to interest expense.

NOTE 9. OTHER DEBT

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, H Smart Inc., received a $35,500 loan as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) offered by the Small Business Administration.

The Company has elected to account for the PPP loan pursuant to FASB ASC 470, Debt, or as a government grant by analogy to International Accounting Standard 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.

Following the guidance in ASC 470, the Company has recognized the entire loan amount as a liability on the balance sheet, with interest accrued and expensed over the term of the loan. The Company will not impute additional interest at a market rate because transactions where interest rates are prescribed by governmental agencies are excluded from the scope of ASC 835-30.

For purposes of derecognizing the liability, ASC 470 refers to the extinguishment guidance in ASC 405, Liabilities.

Based on that guidance, the loan would remain recorded as a liability until either of the following criteria are met:

·The Company has been legally released from being the primary obligor under the liability.

·The Company pays the lender and is relieved of its obligation for the liability.

Because the Company will not be legally released from being the primary obligor of the PPP loan until forgiveness is actually granted, income from the extinguishment of the loan would only be recognized once the Company's application for forgiveness is approved. If the forgiveness application is approved, any resulting amount forgiven would be recognized and separately disclosed in the income statement as a gain on extinguishment. As of September 30, 2021 the balance of the PPP loan was $0 as the loan was formally forgiven by the Small Business Administration.

NOTE 1210FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Levellevel 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon level 3 inputs.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1 or 2 disclosures.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in Note 3.6. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Note 36 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company did not 0t have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

 

The derivative liability as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, in the amount of $432,0241,646,127 and $4,426,057749,756, respectively, have a level 3 classification.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Levellevel 3 financial liabilities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021:March 31, 2022:

Summary of Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities    
   
 

 Debt Derivative  
Balance, January 1, 2021 $4,426,057 
Increase resulting from initial issuance of additional convertible notes payable  1,824,340 
Decreases resulting from conversion of convertible notes payable  (6,270,052)
Decreases resulting from payoff of convertible notes payable  (649,961)
Loss from change in fair value included in earnings  1,101,640 
Balance, September 30, 2021 $432,024 

Summary of Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities    
  Debt Derivative  
Balance, January 1, 2022 $749,756 
Increase resulting from initial issuance of additional convertible notes payable recorded as debt discount  79,952 
Increase resulting from initial issuances of additional convertible notes payable recorded as day one loss  22,558 
Decreases resulting from conversion or payoff of convertible notes payable  (233,069)
Decreases resulting from payoff of convertible notes payable  (50,695)
Loss due to change in fair value included in earnings  1,077,624 
Balance, March 31, 2022 $1,646,127 

 

The total impact to net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was a loss of $451,679 from the net impact of the change in fair value and decreases from payoffs of convertible notes payable. Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the period ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company’s stock price decreased significantly from initial valuations. Additionally, issuances at prices below the original issuance amounts for certain convertible notes resulted in resets of the exercise price on certain conversion options that are accounted for as derivative liabilities, resulting in an increase in the derivative liability and additional loss on change in the fair value. As the stock price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

This was offset by loss on equity investment, interest expense recognized for the excess ofincrease in cashflows from the change in the fair value of derivative liability over net book value of notes payable at issuance and continued implementation of our business plans, operations, management, personnel and professional services.liabilities as the balance was $1,026,929 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared with $2,326,018 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, we used $185,850cash of $1,699 and $2,031, respectively, in investing activities related to purchase of equipment and property of $121,603, $99,098 to establish a joint venture and $155,550 in the acquisition of a new business, and these amounts were offset by proceeds from the sale of investments of $190,401. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by investing activities was $123,729 which was primarily from proceeds attributed to an investment in a joint venture of $125,000, which was offset by $1,271 related to our purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $2,912,709 as a result of our receipts of funds$822,043 which was primarily attributable to $526,760 from the issuance of notes payable of $2,065,863 and $528,850 from the sale of our common stock of $1,492,851, along with repayments of notes payable of $626,005 and repayments of related party notes of $20,000.stock. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,076,341 as a result of our receipt of funds$1,529,870 which was attributable to $535,000 from the issuance of notes payable of $876,302,and $1,245,000 which was from the sale of our common stock with gross proceeds of $153,685, a government loan due to COVID-19 of $35,500 and proceeds from the sales of trading securities of $10,854.stock.

Our business plans have not generated significant revenues and as of the date of this filing are not sufficient to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs for cash. Our primary source of operating funds in 20212022 and 20202021 has been proceeds from the sale of our common stock and the issuance of convertible debt and non-convertibleother debt. We have experienced net losses from operations since inception, but expect these conditions to improve in the second half of 2021 and beyond as we develop direct sales and marketing programs. We had stockholders' deficiencies at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and require additional financing to fund future operations. As of the date of this filing, and due to the early stages of operations, we have insufficient sales data to evaluate the amounts and certainties of cash flows, as well as whether there has been material variability in historical cash flows.

We currently do not have sufficient cash and liquidity to meet our anticipated working capital for the next twelve months. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our common stock and debt.and. If our sales goals for our hempSMART™ products do not materialize as planned, and we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates are used for, among other things, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for employee and non-employee compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718-10-30 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. See Note 3 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” set forth in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is set forth in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. 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 chosen to opt out of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

 

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain exemptions, including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and (ii) complying 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, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

COVID-19:

The COVID-19 global pandemic has been unprecedented and unpredictable and is likely to continue to result in significant national and global economic disruption, which may adversely affect our business. Based on the Company’s current assessment, however, the Company does not expect any material impact on its long-term strategic plans, its operations, or its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. However, the Company is actively monitoring this situation and the possible effects on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, and industry.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer hashave concluded that as of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses described below.weaknesses. Management has identified the following material weaknesses: our ability to prepare our financial statements in a timely manner and inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to create a new controller position and hire a controller in order to segregate duties within the accounting department consistent with control objectives. In addition, we also intend to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us and we are able to find a qualified person to fill such roll.   This includes hiring a competent director of corporate reporting to help ensure that the Company meets its filing deadlines in a more timely manner.role.

        

Changes in Internal Control

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth herein, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. 

 

On September 20, 2018, we filed suit against Bougainville Ventures, Inc. (“Bougainville”), BV-MCOA Management, LLC, Andy Jagpal, Richard Cindric, et al. in Okanogan County Washington Superior Court. We previously entered into a joint venture agreement with Bougainville on March 16, 2017, as amended on November 6, 2017.

 

We and Bougainville originally agreed to a joint venture with the goal of participating in the legalized cannabis business in Washington State. We intended to organize and operate a cannabis growth and cultivation business on land owned by Bougainville in Oroville, Washington. Furthermore, we agreed to finance the joint venture with a cash payment of $800,000 and issued Bougainville 15 million shares of our common stock. Bougainville represented that it would provide the real property for the joint venture, computer-controlledcomputer controlled greenhouses and agricultural facilities and, as landlord, oversight of the operations of a cannabis licensee holding a I-502 cannabis license. Bougainville represented that the property was I-502 compliant, and that it had a lease payment arrangement with an I-502 license holder to operate on the land. Bougainville agreed to vend clear title to the real property associated with the I-502 licensee to the joint venture within 30 days of the final payment by us. Despite our compliance, in full with our financial obligations, Bougainville did not and has not transferred the real property to the joint venture. We determined that Bougainville did not own the real property, misappropriated funds paid into the joint venture for its own purposes and did not have an agreement with a licensed I-502 operator.

 

Pursuant to our complaint, we are seeking legal and equitable relief for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, recession of the joint venture agreement, an accounting, quiet title to real property in the name of the registrant, for the appointment of a receiver, the return to treasury of the 15 million shares of common stock issued to Bougainville, and, for treble damages pursuant to the Consumer Protection Act in Washington State. We have filed a lis pendens on the real property.

 

We recently served process on the defendants and the case is currently in litigation. The case is currently set for trial on January 22, 2022.
