CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties inherent in our statements regarding:

our projected financial position and estimated cash burn rate;
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues and capital requirements;
our ability to continue as a going concern;
our need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations;
our ability to compete in the global space industry;
our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our current products and services;
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the potential for us to incur substantial costs from lawsuits to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights;
the possibility that a third party may claim we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights and that we may incur substantial costs and be required to devote substantial time defending against these claims;
our reliance on third-party suppliers and manufacturers;
the success of competing products or services that are or become available;
our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and our ability to retain and attract key personnel;
the potential for us to incur substantial costs resulting from lawsuits against us and the potential for these lawsuits to cause us to limit our commercialization of our products and services;

All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. We obtained the industry and market data in this annual report on Form 10-Q from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk Factors.” We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions, and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies, and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes, and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 6, 2022, and further amended and filed with the SEC on May 18, 2022.5, 2023. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pineapple, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, THC Industries, LLC and Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc., doing business as Pineapple Express. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

On September 28th, 2022, the Company signed a letter of intent with Jaime Ortega for the sale of 100% interest of Pineapple Park, LLC (“PP”), in exchange for forgiveness of $10,000 of the existing note due to Ortega’s 100% owned entity, Neu-Ventures, Inc. The Entity has accordingly been removed from the Company’s basis of consolidation consolidated financial statements, which resulted in a decrease in the consolidated balance of accounts payable of $376,287 and a decrease in related party notes payable of $10,000. The sale of the Entity resulted in a gain of $386,287, which has been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the three- and nine- months ended September 30, 2022.

There is no impact to the financials for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, as shares will be transferred in Q4 2022.

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

 

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 recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of the Company’s stock stock-based compensationIBR used for leases and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 Level 11-Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
   
 Level 22-Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
   
 Level 33-Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable approximates their fair values since the current interest rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing market rates.

 

F-7

Prepaid Expense and Security Deposits

Prepaid expenses relate to prepaid rent for an office premise of $5,000., Security deposit relates to security deposit paid office premises of $32,000and As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, prepaid expense and security deposits was $37,000 and $0, respectively.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of furniture and fixtures and office equipment. They are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the classes of property and equipment are as follows:

Schedule of Estimated Useful Lives Property and Equipment

 Office equipment5 years
 Furniture and fixtures7 years

Investment – Equity Method

 

The Company accountsaccounted for its equity method investment (“PVI”) at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investment for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of September 30,December 31, 2022, management has identified indicators of other-than-temporary impairment that have led to the conclusion that the carrying value of its equity method investment is not recoverable. As a result, the Company has recorded an impairment write-down in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-year ended December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and nine-months ended September 30, 2022. Refer to Note 6  for disclosures relating to impairment ofMarch 2022, the Company’sCompany recognized income from equity method investment.investment of $0 and $504,136, respectively.

 

Related Party Balances and Transactions

The Company follows FASB ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transaction. (Note 8)

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Sublease

Income for a sublessor operating lease is recognized as a single lease income item on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the lease asset’s function. For transactions where the company is considered the sublessor, revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease. Sublessor revenue relates to operating leases that the Company is subleasing. The Company recognizes sublease revenue on a gross basis. (see note 9)

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition” does not apply to rental income that the Company recognized through sub-lease during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had no options or warrants outstanding and no shares issuable for conversion of notes payable.

 

F-8

Stock-based Compensation

The value of restricted stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020,June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt-Debt with Conversion2022-03, ASC Subtopic “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contractstherefore, is not considered in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contractsmeasuring fair value. The amendments in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. In addition, ASU 2020-06 amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The Amendments also affects the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendmentsthis update are effective for public business entities excluding smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in its condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $24,929,00223,596,219 as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023 and incurred a net loss of $9,256,69267,519, principally related to the loss on impairment of the Company’s equity-method investee, and utilized net cash of $103,885  in operating activities during the nine monthsyear ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

 

The Company and the Company’s equity-method investment havehas incurred net losses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and in all prior to Q3 2022.years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of its common stock and from issuance of its short-term on demand loans, primarily from related parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital in the short term through addition of demand loans and, once the up listing to a higher exchange is completed, through private placements to sell restricted shares of common stock to investors. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company raised approximately $150,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of its common stock.

 

If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, scale back its current business plan and/or curtail operations until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to execute its strategy and on its ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate the Company’s business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to it. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

Note 4 – Deposit on stock purchase agreement – related party

On August 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “CGI Agreement”) with Capital Growth Investments, Inc., a California corporation (“CGI”) and PVI, the Company’s equity-method investee. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company can acquire up to 50,000 shares of CGI (the “Shares”), which comprise 50% of its issued and outstanding capital stock, from PVI for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $195,000 and $100,000, respectively, was paid by the Company, which was recorded and presented in Deposit-Stock purchase agreement related party, in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. No shares of CGI will be issued until the full purchase price is paid.

Within 60 days of execution of the Agreement, the remaining balance of $805,000 is to be paid in exchange for the full 50% of the Shares of the Company. Contemporaneously with the execution of the CGI Agreement, the parties entered into a Shareholder Agreement with CGI (the “Shareholder Agreement”). Pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, the Company was granted certain anti-dilution rights, as well certain monthly distributions of net cash from the operations of CGI, along with other voting and indemnification rights. Pursuant to an Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 26, 2021, the Company, CGI and PVI have acknowledged that the Purchase Price was to be paid in exchange for the entirety of the Shares on or before March 31, 2022. Should the Company be unable to fund the balance of $805,000 by March 31, 2022, the transaction shall be cancelled and the refundable deposit of $195,000 shall be returned to the Company. In March 2022, all parties agreed to extend the closing to June 30, 2022 (“revised closing date”). Should the Company be unable to fund the balance of $805,000 by September 30, 2022, the transaction will be cancelled, and all deposits would be returned to the Company.

In June 2022, both parties agreed to extend the closing date to August 5, 2022. On August 8, 2022, both PVI and CGI mutually agreed to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement. No shares of CGI had been issued to date, as only $195,000 of the full $1,000,000 purchase price had been paid and the terms of the agreement require the transaction to be fully funded before transferring shares. The balance of the deposit, which had been presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Deposit on stock purchase agreement – related party, was reversed in the Q2 2022 period. The balance of Notes payable-related party has been reduced by $100,000 and the balance of Due to related parties has been reduced by $95,000.

Note 6 – Equity Method Investment

In March 2019, the Company acquired a 50% investment in Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”) in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock, which upon issuance were immediately converted into 20,000,000 shares of common stock. The investment has been accounted for under the equity method. In addition to having a direct investment, the Company also noted that common ownership with PVI represents an additional variable interest. However, it was determined that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PVI’s economic performance, and therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of PVI and PVI has not been consolidated under the variable interest model.

On January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $1,062,000 of existing loans extended to the Company by Jaime Ortega, Neu-Ventures, Inc., and Sky Island, Inc., the Company transferred to Mr. Ortega 10,000 shares of capital stock of PVI. Subsequently, on February 11, 2021, the parties entered into amended agreement pursuant to which the original number of shares sold to Mr. Ortega was reduced from 10,000 shares of capital stock of PVI to 4,827 shares of capital stock of PVI. Accordingly, the Company currently owns 45,173 shares of capital stock of PVI. This amendment was entered into to correct the original agreement and properly reflect the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the initial agreement.

The investment was recorded at cost, which was determined to be $11,000,000 based on a value of $0.55 per share of common stock. A total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued during fiscal year 2020. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company has 45.17% ownership interest in PVI.

In November 2021, PNPL Holdings Inc., was created for the sole purpose of holding direct equity in the Los Angeles cannabis businesses. The City of Los Angeles passed a provision stating that management companies cannot directly hold equity in the operations they manage. As such, PNPL Holdings, Inc. was set up as an affiliate of PVI that is not owned by PVI for PVI’s equity in the operations of dispensaries in the following California locations: Hollywood and Vine, West Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, Northeast Los Angeles, and San Pedro. CGI and UHC remain unaffected since these dispensaries are not in the City of Los Angeles.

Previously, PVI has invested in established cannabis businesses, funded cannabis start-up businesses, managed the aforementioned businesses for a management fee, and in some instances subleased property to these businesses for a profit. However, as of September 1, 2022, PVI shifted its primary focus to being a “non-plant touching” entity through development of cannabis assets and resale of the same for a profit in partnership with its affiliate entities, hemp CBD retail management services for a fee, and leasing and subleasing cannabis retail properties for a profit. PVI no longer operates or partially owns cannabis assets and acts only as a consultant for the purpose of facilitating development of those assets through PNPL Holdings, Inc. PNPL Holdings, Inc. is wholly-owned by Matthew Feinstein and, as such, is a related party to Pineapple, Inc. PVI no longer receives a 10% management fee for these cannabis entities and is now completely a non-plant touching ancillary service provider to the cannabis industry. As of September 30, 2022, PVI carries no ownership of any cannabis assets. However, PVI did own the following cannabis assets as of December 31, 2021 (these portions of ownership were transferred to PNPL Holdings, Inc.):

Capital Growth Investments, Inc. (“CGI”): 20% as of December 31, 2021 (delivery, cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution)

The Company has recorded an income from equity investment of $1,499,355 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Management reviews its equity investment for impairment if and when circumstances indicate that a decline in fair value below its carrying amount may have occurred. PNPL determined that a triggering event occurred in September 2022 with respect to its equity method investment in PVI, due to the change in business strategy as of September 1, 2022 and the general adverse developments in the California cannabis industry, both of which have negatively impacted the investment’s strategic direction.  After completing its impairment assessment, management determined that the carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value and the impairment condition was considered other than temporary. The assumptions that most significantly affected the fair value determination included projected cash flows and the discount rate. The Company-specific inputs for measuring fair value are considered “Level 3” or unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data under applicable fair value authoritative guidance, as quoted market prices are not available.

As such, PNPL has recorded an impairment charge of $10,787,652 during Q3 2022. These non-cash impairment charges are included in other income and expenses in  the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three- and nine- months ended September 30, 2022.

Eric Kennedy (former director)

In May 2019, the Company agreed to a settlement with Eric Kennedy, a Company’s director, related to deferred cash compensation that had been accrued for in the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities to reduce the amount to $35,000, resulting in a gain on settlement of related party payables of $36,000, which was recorded in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ (deficit) equity. Therefore, the $35,000 was reclassified to related party notes payable.

The note does not incur interest and was originally to be repaid through an initial $10,000 payment with monthly payments of $5,000 thereafter, but the Company was only able to make one $5,000 payment, reducing the balance to $30,000 as of December 31, 2020. The Company did not make any payment during the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Eric Kennedy forgave the amount due from the Company, as he was not awaiting repayment for any funding he had provided to the Company during previous years. This settlement has been recorded as a gain on forgiveness of related party note payable in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The balance of the former related party notes payable is zero as of June 30, 2022. There has been no activity during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Investor One

 

On February 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (“BLOI1”) with Investor One that the Company deemed a financing agreement for the purchase of a certain property (APN: 665-030-044), and upon completion of development of the acquired property, subsequently a revenue share agreement that was for the following considerations: (i) payment by Investor One of $125,000, representing one-half the purchase price of the property, (ii) the Company would have repurchased the financed property for $187,500 within one year of the purchase, and (iii) “rent” payments of $3,750/ per month would have occurred during the referenced one year period.

 

During March 2016, the $125,000 in financing from Investor One, in addition to $40,768 from the Company, was deposited in Escrow No.: 7101604737-ST with Chicago Title Company against the purchase of another property (APN: 665-030-043) that was the subject of additional funding by Investor Two, described below.

 

Investor Two

 

On March 18, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (“BLOI2”), subsequently amended by a Real Property Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement”) dated March 21, 2016, both of which the Company deemed a financing agreement for the purchase of a certain property (APN: 665-030-043) for the following considerations: (i) payment by Investor Two of $350,000 of the $515,000 purchase price of the property, (ii) the Company would assign the existing escrow amount of $165,768 to Investor Two, who would close the transaction and take title to the property, (iii) the Company would pay any taxes, fees and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with the transaction, and (iv) the Company would have repurchased the property from Investor Two for a price of $500,000 within ninety days of the closing of the transaction.

 

On March 22, 2016, Investor Two deposited $350,000 into the escrow account referenced above and the transaction closed with title conveyed to Investor Two as required under BLOI2. Subsequent to closing, the Company defaulted under the BLOI2 and the Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement as it did not reacquire the property in the required ninety days after closing. As a consequence, the Company forfeited the $165,768 deposited into the Chicago Title Escrow account referenced above.

Investment Accounting Treatments for Investors One and Two

 

The escrow agreement closed and Investor Two took title to property. There is no provision in BLOI2, or in the Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement, that would impose any continuing liability on the Company other than the loss of the Company’s escrow deposit.

F-12

 

As no terms and conditions were established to characterize the $125,000 investment as a Note Payable, the Company has recorded a continuing liability to Investor One in connection with BLOI1 having been recorded as a deferred liability. Contrary to the case with Investor Two, the Company acknowledged the additional $62,500 liability provided for under BLOI1 and $187,500 was recorded as “advances on agreements” as a short-term deferred liability on the Company’s books and records. Additionally, BLOI1 provided for a “rent” payment of $3,750 for a period of twelve months after execution of BLOI1.

 

In February 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Investor One which required the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and established an additional principal sum for repayment of $200,000. The settlement includes installment payments of $10,000 per month beginning on February 15, 2019, until the balance is repaid and ends the accrual of interest. Prior to entering into the settlement agreement, the Company had recorded interest expense of $4,125, bringing the balance from $187,500 at December 31, 2018 to $191,625. The settlement agreement resulted in additional expense of $8,375. The Company made three $10,000 payments during the year ended December 31, 2019, reduced the value by another $1,000 in connection with the 20,000 shares being valued at $11,000 instead of the $10,000 value initially discussed. There was no activity during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Introduction

 

The Company has spent the last several years recasting the direction of the Company. We intend to take advantage of the opportunities that have been identified in the ancillary cannabis sectors. The market opportunities that are opened to a ancillary service provider to the cannabis company include PVI’s involvement withhemp CBD sales, property rentals to cannabis delivery, retail, manufacturing,operators at a profit and cultivation. Our main focus has been to receive 45.17% of all net income (loss) generated by PVI from its business ventures, as well as selling the proprietary Top Shelf System to cannabis dispensaries.

 

Our Business

 

Pineapple, Inc. (f/k/a Pineapple Express, Inc). (“Pineapple”, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is based in Los Angeles, California. The Company was originally formedprocures and leases properties to licensed cannabis operators and provides nationwide hemp-derived CBD sales via online and in-store transactions. Through the Company’s operating subsidiary, Pineapple Express Consulting Inc., it also offers cannabis business licensing and consulting services. The Company’s executive team blends enterprise-level corporate expertise with decades of combined experience operating in the state of Nevada under the name Global Resources, Ltd. on August 3, 1983. It changed its name to “Helixphere Technologies Inc.” on April 12, 1999, and to “New China Global Inc.” on October 2, 2013. It reincorporated in Wyoming on October 30, 2013, changed its name to “Globestar Industries” on July 15, 2014. On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Better Business Consultants, Inc. (“BBC” dba “MJ Business Consultants”), a corporation formed in California on January 29, 2015, all of BBC’s shareholders, and the Company’s majority shareholder at that time (the “BBC Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the BBC Share Exchange, BBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon consummation of the BBC Share Exchange, the Company ceased its prior business of providing educational services and continued the business of BBC as its sole line of business. BBC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Pineapple Express One LLC, a California limited liability company, Pineapple Express Two LLC, a California limited liability company, and Pineapple Properties Investments, LLC, a Washington limited liability company. Better Business Consultants, Inc. has since been sold by the Company. On September 3, 2015, the Company changed its name to “Pineapple Express, Inc.” from “Globestar Industries.” Currently, the Company is in the process of seeking regulatory approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change its name to Pineapple, Inc.tightly-regulated cannabis industry.

 

Theln addition to the foregoing business ventures, the Company was also assigned a patent for the proprietary Top Shelf Safe Display System (“SDS”) for use in permitted cannabis dispensaries and delivery vehicles across the United States and internationally (where permitted by law), on July 20th,20, 2016, by Sky Island, Inc. (the “SDS Patent”) via a Patent Assignment Agreement (the “Patent Assignment Agreement”). The SDS Patent was originally applied for and filed on August 11, 2015, by Sky Island, Inc. and received its notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 22, 2017. It is anticipated that the Top-Shelf SDS product shall retail for $30,000 per unit. Pineapple intends to sell the Top-Shelf SDS units to PVI for use in retail storefronts and delivery vehicles as well as to sell the Top Shelf SDS technology to otheroperated by cannabis retail companies. The Company anticipates beginning sales of the Top Shelf SDS system in the third quarter of 2023.

21

On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “PVI Agreement”) with Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”), the Company’s equity-method investment, and the stockholders of PVI (the “PVI Stockholders”) in which the Company acquired a total of 50% of the outstanding shares of PVI, in consideration for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, from time to time, be converted by the holder into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0000001 (the “Common Stock”), in an amount equal to ten (10) shares of Common Stock for each one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The PVI Stockholders elected to immediately convert the 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 20,000,000 shares of common stock upon issuance

On January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $1,062,000 of existing loans extended to the Company by Jaime Ortega, Neu-Ventures, Inc., and Sky Island, Inc., the Company transferred to Mr. Ortega 10,000 shares of capital stock of PVI. Subsequently, on February 11, 2021, the parties entered into amended agreement pursuant to which the original number of shares sold to Mr. Ortega was reduced from 10,000 shares of capital stock of PVI to 4,827 shares of capital stock of PVI. Accordingly, the Company currently owns 45,173 shares of capital stock of PVI. This amendment was entered into to correct the original agreement and properly reflect the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the initial agreement. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company has a 45.17% ownership interest in PVI, its equity-method investment. As of September 30, 2022, this investment has been fully impaired.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2020, by and between, Pineapple Express, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Pineapple Express”), and Pineapple, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pineapple”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pineapple Express, effective as of April 15, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Pineapple Express merged with and into Pineapple, with Pineapple being the surviving entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger was consummated to complete Pineapple Express’ reincorporation from the State of Wyoming to the State of Nevada. The Merger Agreement, the Reincorporation Merger, the Name Change (as defined below) and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Pineapple were duly approved by the written consent of shareholders of Pineapple Express owning at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Pineapple Express’ common stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s corporate name changed from “Pineapple Express, Inc.” to “Pineapple, Inc.”

The Company is based in Los Angeles, California. Through the Company’s operating subsidiary Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc. (“PEC”), as well as its PVI portfolio asset, the Company has historically provided capital to its canna-business clientele, leases properties to those canna-businesses, takes equity positions and manages those operations, and provides consulting and technology to develop, enhance, or expand existing and newly formed infrastructures. As of September 1, 2022, PVI shifted its primary focus to being a “non-plant touching” entity through development of cannabis assets and resale of the same for a profit in partnership with its affiliate entities, hemp CBD retail management services for a fee, and leasing and subleasing cannabis retail properties for a profit. PVI no longer operates or partially owns cannabis assets and acts only as a consultant for the purpose of facilitating development and future equity sales of those assets through PNPL holdings, the sales of which PVI will continue to earn. The cannabis assets are developed under PNPL Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of PVI that is not owned by PVI. PVI no longer receives a 10% management fee for these cannabis entities and is now completely a non-plant touching ancillary service provider to the cannabis industry. Pineapple aims to become the leading portfolio management company in the U.S. cannabis sector. The Company’s executive team blends enterprise-level corporate expertise with a combined three decades of experience operating in the tightly regulated cannabis industry. While PVI is generating revenues from the above-mentioned means, PEC is currently still in development and is currently not generating revenues. 

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. As a result, significant volatility has occurred in both the United States and International markets. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. To date, the Company has experienced declining revenues, difficulty staffing interpreters, difficulty meeting debt covenants, maintaining consistent service quality with reduced revenue, and a loss of customers. Management expects this matter to continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, but the ultimate financial impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Our total current assets increased to $50,600 as of September 30,March 31, 2023 from $0 as of December 31, 2022 we had adue primarily to lease receivable of $45,600 and prepaid expense of $5,000. Company does not have any cash as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Our total current liabilities increased to $1,635,465 as of March 31, 2023 from $1,376,972 as of December 31, 2022 due primarily to the increase in due to affiliates for payment made to vendors on behalf of the Company and operating lease liability.

Our working capital deficit on March 31, 2023 was $1,584,865 as compared to working capital deficit of $2,779,311 and no cash. As$1,376,972 as of September 30, 2022, the Company’s current liabilities included $367,124December 31, 2022.

The Company have funded our operations since inception primarily through the issuance of our equity securities in private placements to third parties, and/or promissory notes to related parties for cash. The cash was used primarily for operating activities, including cost of employees, management services, professional fees, consultant fees, and travel. Our management expects that cash from operating activities will not provide sufficient cash to fund normal operations, support debt service, or undertake certain investments we anticipate prosecuting for our business proposition both in the near and intermediate terms. We will continue to rely on financing provided under notes from related and third-party party sources, as well as sale of shares of our common stock in private placements, to fund our expected cash requirements.

 

We intend to continue raising additional capital through related party loans and future salethe issuance of equity interest.and debt securities for cash. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or will be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities or sustain operations. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead and operations, or scale back our current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in such condensed consolidated financial statements, we had an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $24,929,002$23,596,219 and had a net loss of $9,256,692 and utilized net cash of $103,885 in operating activities as of and$67,519 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firms in their audit reports to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal yearsyear ended December 31, 2021,2022 and 2020,2021 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern was raised due to our net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and our expectation that these conditions may continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, we will require additional financing to fund future operations. Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Based on our management’s estimates and expectation to continue to receive short-term debt funding from a related party on as needed basis, we believe that current funds on hand as of the date of issuance and proceeds of such loans will be sufficient for us to continue operations beyond twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business strategy and in our ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate our business; however, we can give no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if at all, and if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we can obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

Going Concern Qualification

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.related party notes of $4,000.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangementsarrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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 recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of our stock, IBR used for leases and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

7

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Sublease

Income for a sublessor operating lease is recognized as a single lease income item on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the lease asset’s function. For transactions where the company is considered the sublessor, revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021,the lease. Sublessor revenue relates to operating leases that have or are reasonably likely to havethe Company is subleasing. The Company recognizes sublease revenue on 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.gross basis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Management based its controls on the report, “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, and to the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

Material Weaknesses and Corrective Actions

 

To the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, we identified certain deficiencies relating to our internal control over financial reporting that constitute a material weakness under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). The PCAOB defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

 

278

 

The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist as of September 30, 2022:March 31, 2023:

 

 The Company does not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
   
 Due to the size of the Company and available resources, there are limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting functions, which results in lack of sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to the Company’s limited size and early-stage nature of operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible; however, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals; and
   
 The Company does not have an audit committee of our board of directors; and
Insufficient monitoring and review controls over the financial reporting closing process, including the lack of individuals with current knowledge of U.S. GAAP.directors.

 

To remediate the Company’s internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures, as finances allow:

 

Adding sufficient accounting personnel or outside consultants to properly segregate duties and to affect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.
 Developing and maintaining adequate written accounting policies and procedures, once additional accounting personnel or outside consultants are engaged.

 

The additional hiring is contingent upon our efforts to obtain additional funding and the results of our operations.

 

Management expects to secure funds before the end of the current fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, our management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

CEO and CFO Certifications

 

Exhibit 31.1 to this Quarterly Report has the “Certifications” of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. These Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of this Quarterly Report contains is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications, and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation.
