You should rely only on the information that we have provided in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. No dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. You must not rely on any unauthorized information or representation. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. You should assume that the information in this prospectus, and any applicable prospectus supplement, is accurate only as of the date on the front of the document, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, or any sale of a security. Our business, financial conditions, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

References to “Management” in this Prospectus mean the senior officers of the Company; See “Directors and Executive Officers.” Any statements in this Prospectus made by or on behalf of Management are made in such persons’ capacities as officers of the Company, and not in their personal capacities.

As used in this prospectus, the terms “we”, “us”, the “Company”, “American Cannabis”, and our subsidiary “Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc.” mean American Cannabis Company, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO INVESTORS

This Prospectus qualifies the distribution of securities of an entity that derives substantially all of its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain of the states in the United States. Cannabis is classified as an illegal Schedule 1 drug and illegal under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 811 (hereafter referred to as the “CSA”). On December 20, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, otherwise known as the “Farm Bill.” Prior to its passage, hemp, a member of the cannabis family, was classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, and also illegal under the CSA.

With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp cultivation is broadly permitted. The Farm Bill explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law. Despite the passage of the Farm Bill, certain aspects of the cannabis industry, particularly those not defined as hemp within the Farm Bill, remain illegal under U.S. federal Law. At this time, we are not engaged in businesses that fall outside of what is permissible under the Farm Bill.

In the future, we could become involved in business activities that would fall outside of the Farm Bill, such as the research and development, growth, cultivation and/or processing of cannabis that are not covered under the Farm Bill. Currently, 33 states plus the District of Columbia and Guam, have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimate medical and adult uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment or for recreational use. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the federal government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to cannabis, as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and we may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, dispensing and/or aiding or abetting the possession and distribution of cannabis in violation of federal law. Active enforcement of the current CSA on cannabis may thus directly and adversely affect our revenues and profits. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy remains uncertain; See sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Government Regulation of Cannabis.”

Our Business

American Cannabis Company, Inc. and subsidiary company, Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis Consulting”), (collectively “the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. We provide advisory and consulting services specific to this industry, design industry-specific products and facilities, and manage a strategic group partnership that offers both exclusive and non-exclusive customer products commonly used in the industry. We do not directly sell, cultivate, manufacture, or transact cannabis.However, we may choose to take advantage of Colorado Bill HB-19-1090, which was recently passed into Colorado law, effective November 1, 2019. This law allows publicly traded corporations to apply for and qualify for the ownership of Colorado cannabis licenses.

We recently began a new business consulting division called “American Hemp Services,” which offers hemp producers with consulting and professional services including business plan creation, greenhouse and farm design, license acquisition, seed sales, hemp processing, operational deployment, and crop improvement. Furthermore, the Company seeks to partner with accredited universities nationwide to further the advancement of hemp related research.

We are a publicly listed company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 24, 2001 under the name Naturewell, Inc. to develop and market clinical diagnostic products using immunology and molecular biologic technologies.

On March 13, 2013, Naturewell, Inc. completed a merger transaction whereby it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”), which operated as a Brazilian interactive television company and television production company through its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary company, EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”). Naturewell’s Certificate of Incorporation were amended to reflect a new name: Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.

On May 15, 2014, BIMI entered into a merger agreement (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding American Cannabis Consulting while simultaneously disposing of 100% of the issued share capital EsoTV (“the Separation Agreement”). Both the merger with American Cannabis Consulting and disposal of EsoTV were completed on September 29, 2014. BIMI subsequently amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to American Cannabis Company, Inc. On October 10, 2014, American Cannabis Company, Inc. changed its stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.

Immediately following the completion of the Merger Agreement, former shareholders of American Cannabis Consulting owned 31,710,628 shares of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s common stock, representing 78.4% of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s issued and outstanding share capital. Accordingly, American Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in a Reverse Merger which resulted in a recapitalization of the Company. Consequently, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the results of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) since September 29, 2014.

Government Regulation of Cannabis

The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as highly addictive and having no medical value. The United States Federal Drug Administration has not approved the sale of marijuanacannabis for any medical application. Doctors may not prescribe cannabis for medical use under federal law,law; however, they can recommend its use under the First Amendment. In 2010, the United States Veterans Affairs Department clarified that veterans using medicinal cannabis will not be denied services or other medications that are denied to those using illegal drugs.

As of June 27, 2016, 25October 31, 2019, 33 states, the District of Columbia and Guam allow their citizens to use medical cannabis through de-criminalization. Voters in the States of Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Alaska have laws legalized cannabis in some form for adulteither medicinal or recreational use; Oregon’s law took effect on July 1, 2015; Alaska’s law was effective February 24, 2015; both the Coloradouse governed by state specific laws and Washington programs were enacted as of December 31, 2014. In 2016, Nevada, California, Vermont, Arizona, Connecticut and Michigan have legislative bills in various stages of progress concerning cannabis legalization.

Additionally, there are active efforts by many advocacy groups seeking to expand the legalization of cannabis, including, but not limited to the Marijuana Policy Project, a leading advocate for major state-level marijuana policy reforms that have resulted in successful efforts to pass 10 of the 15 most recent state medical marijuana laws (in Arizona, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) and five of the seven most recent decriminalization laws (in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont).

regulations.  

These advocacy groups and others are devoting significant resources to ending prohibition in 12 more states by 2019, including in the States of Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Nevada, as well as lobbying and building coalitions to regulate marijuana in several states that do not have the option of voter initiatives, including Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont, and they are also advocating for medical marijuana-related bills in several other states, including Georgia, Texas, and West Virginia.

These noted state laws both proposed and enacted, are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. However, on August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum providing that where states and local governments enact laws authorizing cannabis-related use, and implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems, the federal government will rely upon states and local enforcement agencies to address cannabis activity through the enforcement of their own state and local narcotics laws. The memorandum further stated that the U.S Justice Department’s limited investigative and prosecutorial resources will be focused on eight priorities to prevent unintended consequences of the state laws, including distribution of cannabis to minors, preventing the distribution of cannabis from states where it is legal to states where it is not, and preventing money laundering, violence and drugged driving.

On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice issued another memorandum with regard to its position and enforcement protocol with regard to Indian Country, stating that the eight priorities in the previous federal memo would guide the United States Attorneys' cannabis enforcement efforts in Indian Country. On December 16, 2014, as a component of the federal spending bill, the Obama administration enacted regulations that prohibits the Department of Justice from using funds to prosecute state-based legal medical cannabis programs.

On January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum for all United States Attorneys concerning cannabis enforcement. Mr. Sessions rescinded all previous prosecutorial guidance issued by the Department of Justice regarding cannabis , including the August 29, 2013 memorandum. Mr. Sessions stated that U.S. Attorneys must decide whether or not to pursue prosecution of cannabis activity based upon factors including: the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community. Mr. Sessions reiterated that the cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis continues to be a crime under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

Government Regulation of Hemp

On December 20, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, otherwise known as the “Farm Bill”. Prior to its passage, hemp, a member of the cannabis family, was classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, and so illegal under the Controlled Substances Act.

With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp cultivation is broadly permitted. The Farm Bill explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law.

Additionally, there will be significant, shared state-federal regulatory power over hemp cultivation and production. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally-run program. This system of shared regulatory programming is similar to options states had in other policy areas such as health insurance marketplaces under Affordable Care Act, or workplace safety plans under Occupational Health and Safety Act—both of which had federally-run systems for states opting not to set up their own systems.

The Farm Bill outlines actions that are considered violations of federal hemp law (including such activities as cultivating without a license or producing hemp with more than 0.3 percent THC, the psychoactive agent in cannabis).

AsThe 2018 Farm Bill extends the protections for hemp research and the conditions under which such research can and should be conducted. Further, Section 7501 of September 2, 2016, in additionthe Farm Bill extends hemp research by including hemp under the Critical Agricultural Materials Act. This provision recognizes the importance, diversity, and opportunity of the plant and the products that can be derived from it, but also recognizes that there is a still a lot to the 25 states, the District of Columbialearn about hemp and Guam which had already passed legislation allowing citizens to use cannabis in some form, an additional 13 states had pending legislation or ballot measures to legalize medical cannabis.its products from commercial and market perspectives.

Risks Related to Our Business

MarijuanaCannabis remains illegal under federal lawlaw.

MarijuanaCannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law.the CSA. Even in states that have legalized the use of marijuana,cannabis, its sale and use remain violations of federal law. The illegality of marijuanacannabis under federal law preempts state laws that legalize its use. Therefore, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuanacannabis would likely result in our inability to proceed with our business plan.

Our business is dependent on laws pertaining to the marijuana industrycannabis industry.

The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811),CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as aan illegal Schedule I drug, which is viewed as highly addictive and having no medical value.

As of September 2, 2016, 25October 31, 2019, 33 states, the District of Columbia and Guam allow their citizens to use medical cannabis for medicinal and/or recreational purposes through de-criminalization. Voters in the States of Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Alaska have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use; Oregon’s law took effect on July 1, 2015; Alaska’s law was effective February 24, 2015; both the Colorado and Washington programs were enacted as of December 31, 2014. In 2016, Nevada, California, Vermont, Arizona, Connecticut and Michigan have legislative bills in various stages of progress concerning cannabis legalization.

Mr. Sessions reiterated that the cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis continues to be a crime under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

The Farm Bill recently passed, and undeveloped shared state-federal regulations over hemp cultivation and production may impact our business.

The Farm Bill was signed into law on December 20, 2018. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses in order to comply with the USDA-run program. The details and scopes of each state’s plans are not known at this time and may contain varying regulations that may impact our business. Even if a state creates a plan in conjunction with its governor and chief law enforcement officer, the USDA must approve it. There can be no guarantee that any state plan will be approved. Review times may be extensive. There may be amendments and the ultimate plans, if approved by states and the USDA, may materially limit our business depending upon the scope of the regulations.

Laws and regulations affecting our industry to be developed under the Farm Bill are constantly changingin development.

TheAs a result of the Farm Bill’s recent passage, there will be a constant evolution of laws and regulations affecting the marijuanahemp industry could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state and federal medical marijuanahemp laws and regulations aremay be broad in scope and subject to changing interpretations. These changes may require us to incur substantial costs associated with legal and compliance fees and ultimately require us to alter our business plan. Furthermore, violations of these laws, or alleged violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, we cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, and it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business.

Laws and regulations affecting our industry are constantly changing.

The constant evolution of laws and regulations affecting the cannabis and hemp industries could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state and federal cannabis and hemp laws and regulations are respectively broad in scope and subject to changing interpretations. These changes may require us to incur substantial costs associated with legal and compliance fees and ultimately require us to alter our business plan. Furthermore, violations of these laws, or alleged violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, we cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, and it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business.

Risk of government actionaction.

While we will use our best efforts to comply with all laws, including federal, state and local laws and regulations, there is a possibility that governmental action to enforce any alleged violations may result in legal fees and damage awards that would adversely affect us.

Because our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by consumers, any negative trends will adversely affect our business operationsoperations.

We are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance and proliferation of consumers of medical marijuanacannabis used for medicinal and recreational marijuana.uses. We believe that as marijuanacannabis becomes more accepted the stigma associated with marijuanacannabis use will diminish and as a result consumer demand will continue to grow. While we believe that the market and opportunity in the marijuanacannabis space continues to grow, we cannot predict the future growth rate and size of the market. Any negative outlook on the marijuanacannabis industry maywill adversely affect our business operations.

In addition, it is believed by many that large well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the cannabis industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly does not want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. For example, medical marijuanacannabis will likely adversely impact the existing market for the current "marijuana pill" “marijuana pill”Marinol, sold by the mainstream pharmaceutical industry, should marijuanacannabis displace other drugs or encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry's products. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical marijuanacannabis movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical could make in halting the impending cannabis industry could have a detrimental impact on our business.

FDA Regulation of marijuanacannabis and the possible registration of facilities where medical marijuanacannabis is grown could negatively affect the cannabis industry which would directly affect our financial conditioncondition.

Should the federal government legalize marijuanacannabis for medical use, it is possible that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") would seek to regulate it under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including cGMPs (certified good manufacturing practices) related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of medical marijuana.cannabis. Clinical trials may be needed to verify efficacy and safety. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where medical marijuanacannabis is grown be registered with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the medical marijuanacannabis industry and what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the regulations and/or registration as prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate our business.

Our clients may have difficulty accessing the service of banksbanks.

On February 14, 2014, the U.S. government issued rules allowing banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed marijuanacannabis businesses. A memorandum issued by the Justice Department to federal prosecutors re-iterated guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal marijuanacannabis businesses and "may not" be prosecuted. The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued guidelines to banks that "it is possible to provide financial services"" to state-licensed marijuanacannabis businesses and still be in compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws. The guidance falls short of the explicit legal authorization that banking industry officials had pushed the government to provide and to date, it is not clear if any banks have relied on the guidance and taken on legal marijuanacannabis companies as clients. The aforementioned policy may beadministration dependent, and a change in presidential administrations may cause a policy reversal and retraction of current policies, wherein legal marijuanacannabis businesses may not have access to the banking industry. Also, the inability of potential clients in our target marketmarkets to open accounts and otherwise use the service of banks may make it difficult for them to contract with us.

Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilityliability.

Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

The Company’s industry is highly competitive and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them and advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.

Risks RelatedWe are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to the Company

Uncertainty of profitability

Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues and earnings. As we will only develop a limited number ofours or products and services at a time,that make our overall success will depend on a limited number of products and services, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and services offered.

Our revenues and our profitability mayobsolete. There can be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for medical and recreational marijuana. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition. 

Because of the anticipated nature of the products and servicesno assurance that we will attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

We are entering a potentially highly competitive market

The markets for ancillary businesses in the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries are competitive and evolving. In particular, we face strong competition from larger companies that may be in the process of offering similar products and services to ours. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than we have (or may be expected to have).

Given the rapid changes affecting the global, national, and regional economies generally and the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries, in particular, we may not be able to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with any changes in its markets, especially with legal and regulatory changes. Our success will depend on our ability to respond to, amongsuccessfully compete against these other things, changes in the economy, market conditions, and competitive pressures. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, liquidity, cash flow and our operational performance.

The Company’s failure to continue to attract, train, or retain highly qualified personnel could harm the Company’s business.

The Company’s success also depends on the Company’s ability to attract, train, and retain qualified personnel, specifically those with management and product development skills. In particular, the Company must hire additional skilled personnel to further the Company’s research and development efforts. Competition for such personnel is intense. If the Company does not succeed in attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating the Company’s current personnel, the Company’s business could be harmed.

The Company may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in its industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect its businessbusiness.

Our Business Can be Affected by Unusual Weather Patterns

Hemp cultivation can be impacted by weather patterns and these unpredictable weather patterns may impact our ability to consult, and our client’s corresponding ability to grow, cultivate and harvest hemp. In addition, severe weather, including drought and hail, can destroy a hemp crop, which would have a material impact on our hemp consulting division.

Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell. 

Demand for the products we sell is often affected by general economic conditions as well as product-use trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our products. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our products due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

The Company’s failure to continue to attract, train, or retain highly qualified personnel could harm the Company’s business.

We are entering a potentially highly competitive market.

In particular, we face strong competition from larger companies that may be in the process of offering similar products and services to ours. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than we have (or may be expected to have).

Our success will depend on our ability to respond to, among other things, changes in the economy, market conditions, and competitive pressures. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company business, financial condition and operating results.

As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for the Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. The Company cannot guarantee that a market for the Company will develop or that demand for Company services will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any ability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the future trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, of operationliquidity, cash flow and access to capital.our operational performance.

We currently have insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. Additionally, there is a lack of formal process and timeline for closing the books and records at the end of each reporting period and such weaknesses restrict the Company’s ability to timely gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements.

Because of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. There is inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff. Currently, the Company is unable to hire additional staff to facilitate greater segregation of duties but will reassess its capabilities after completion of the Offering.

 If we fail to protect our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affectedaffected.

Our viability will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and brands to distinguish our products and services from our competitors' products and services. We rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and confidentiality provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property. 

Any infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could damage its value and limit our ability to compete. We may have to engage in litigation to protect the rights to our intellectual property, which could result in significant litigation costs and require a significant amount of our time. In addition, our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain countries outside the U.S., which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those developed or licensed by us.

Competitors may also harm our sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of our products or technology without infringing on our intellectual property rights. If we do not obtain sufficient protection for our intellectual property, or if we are unable to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitiveness could be impaired, which would limit our growth and future revenue.

We may also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time-consuming to prosecute and there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources to enforce our rights or be able to enforce our rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around our intellectual property.

Our trade secrets may be difficult to protectprotect.

Our success depends upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, our consultants and advisors, as well as our licensors and contractors. Because we operate in a highly competitive industry, we rely in part on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We enter into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third party’sparties confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party's relationship withus. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property, and we enter into assignment agreements to perfect our rights.

These confidentiality, inventions and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to prevent the use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the U.S. may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.

Our lack of patent and/or copyright protection and any unauthorized use of our proprietary information and technology may affect our businessbusiness.

We currently rely on a combination of protections by contracts, including confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, and common law rights, such as trade secrets, to protect our intellectual property. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property from misappropriation in the U.S. and abroad. This risk may be increased due to the lack of any patent and/or copyright protection. Any patent issued to us could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Furthermore, patent applications that we file may not result in issuance of a patent, or, if a patent is issued, the patent may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition, it is difficult to monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis in a cost-effective manner. In jurisdictions where foreign laws provide less intellectual property protection than afforded in the U.S., our technology or other intellectual property may be compromised, and our business could be materially adversely affected. If any of our proprietary rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patent or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Because we will likely issue additional shares of our common stock, investment in our company could be subject to substantial dilution.

Investors’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share. As of September 2, 2016,October 31, 2019, there were 46,751,07452,978,605 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors’ investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company’s common stock could seriously decline in value.

The sale of our stock under the convertible notes and the common share purchase warrants could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.

In many circumstances, the provision of financing based on the distribution of equity for companies that are traded on the OTCQB has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s ability to take up the increased stock or if we have not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used to grow our business. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Regardless of our activities,the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our common stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more, which may cause other stockholders of the stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales of common stock in the market. If there are many more shares of our common stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our common shares will likely decline.

Trading in our common stock on the OTCQB has been subject to wide fluctuations.

Our common stock is currently quoted for public trading on the OTCQB. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws provides for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the State of Delaware or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of our directors and our shareholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Delaware law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director's liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our Company and any gain on an investment in our Company will need to come through an increase in our stock’s price, which may never happen.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.

Our shares of Common Stock are deemed to be "penny stock" as pennythat term is defined in Regulation Section 240.3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are covered by stocks: (a) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company’s securities including the deliveryand Regulation 240.15g(c)2 of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rulesCommission require brokers who sell “penny stocks”broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide potential investors with certain information concerninga document disclosing the risks of tradingpenny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in sucha penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrictstock for the ability of brokers to sellinvestor's account. Potential investors in our shares of commonCommon Stock areurged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares of Common Stock that are deemed to be "penny stock".

Moreover, Regulation 240.15g-9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may affect the secondary marketmake it more difficult for investors in our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our abilityCommon Stock to raise fundsresell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Holders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks suffers from patterns of fraud and abuse. 

Our Management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the primarypenny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market foror of broker-dealers who participate in the market, Management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our shares of common stock.securities.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Tangiers Global, LLCSince our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.

Since our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): the trading volume of our shares, the number of analysts, market-makers and brokers following our shares of Common Stock, new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors, actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, conditions or trends in our business industries, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of our shares of Common Stock and general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded, and particularly microcap, companies.

Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our Common Stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTCQB and are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.

These registration statements may be subject to review and comment by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of these registration statements cannot be assured. The effectiveness of these registration statements is a condition precedent to our ability to sell all of the shares of our common stock to Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion under the investment agreement. Even if we are successful in causing one or more registration statements registering the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner, we may not be able to sell the shares unless certain other conditions are met. For example, we might have to increase the number of our authorized shares in order to issue the shares to Tangiers Global, LLC.White Lion. Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down any amounts under the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds of $5,000,000$7,500,000 under the investment with Tangiers Global, LLC.White Lion.

Certain restrictions on the extent of puts and the delivery of advance notices may have little, if any, effect on the adverse impact of our issuance of shares in connection with the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC,White Lion, and as such, Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.

Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion has agreed, subject to certain exceptions listed in the investment agreement, with Tangiers Global, LLC, to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion or its affiliates owning more than 9.99%4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one time. These restrictions, however, do not prevent Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion from selling shares of our common stock received in connection with a put,Purchase Notice, and then receiving additional shares of our common stock in connection with a subsequent put.Purchase Notice. In this way, Tangiers Global, LLCWhite Lion could sell more than 9.99%4.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 9.99%4.99% at one time.

Additionally, there are active efforts by many advocacy groups seeking to expand the legalization of cannabis, including, but not limited to the Marijuana Policy Project, a leading advocate for major state-level marijuana policy reforms that have resulted in successful efforts to pass 10 of the 15 most recent state medical marijuana laws (in Arizona, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) and five of the seven most recent decriminalization laws (in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont).regulations.

These advocacy groups and others are devoting significant resources to ending prohibition in 12 more states by 2019, including in the States of Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Nevada, as well as lobbying and building coalitions to regulate marijuana in several states that do not have the option of voter initiatives, including in: Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont and are also advocating for medical marijuana-related bills in several other states, including Georgia, Texas, and West Virginia.

These noted state laws both proposed and enacted, are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. However, on August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum providing that where states and local governments enact laws authorizing cannabis-related use, and implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems, the federal government will rely upon states and local enforcement agencies to address cannabis activity through the enforcement of their own state and local narcotics laws. The memorandum further stated that the U.S Justice Department’s limited investigative and prosecutorial resources will be focused on eight priorities to prevent unintended consequences of the state laws, including distribution of cannabis to minors, preventing the distribution of cannabis from states where it is legal to states where it is not, and preventing money laundering, violence and drugged driving.

On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice issued another memorandum with regard to its position and enforcement protocol with regard to Indian Country, stating that the eight priorities in the previous federal memo would guide the United States Attorneys' cannabis enforcement efforts in Indian Country. On December 16, 2014, as a component of the federal spending bill, the Obama administration enacted regulations that prohibit the Department of Justice from using funds to prosecute state-based legal medical cannabis programs.

On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice issued another memorandum with regard to its position and enforcement protocol with regard to Indian Country, stating that the eight priorities in the August 29, 2013 federal memo would guide the United States Attorneys' cannabis enforcement efforts in Indian Country. On December 16, 2014, as a component of the federal spending bill, the Obama administration enacted regulations that prohibit the Department of Justice from using funds to prosecute state-based legal medical cannabis programs.

On January 4, 2016,2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum for all United States Attorneys concerning cannabis enforcement. Mr. Sessions rescinded all previous prosecutorial guidance issued by the Department of Justice regarding cannabis , including the August 29, 2013 memorandum. Mr. Sessions stated that U.S. Attorneys must decide whether or not to pursue prosecution of cannabis activity based upon factors including: the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community. Mr. Sessions reiterated that the cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis continues to be a crime under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

Business Overview

We primarily operate within two divisions within the regulated cannabis industry: (i) consulting and professional services; and, (ii) the sale of products and equipment commonly utilized in the cultivation, processing, transportation or retail sale of cannabis. We do not hold any ownership interests, direct or indirect, in businesses which hold a license to produce and/or sell cannabis. We do not sell, cultivate, manufacture, or transact cannabis. However, we may choose to take advantage of Colorado Bill HB-19-1090, which was recently passed into Colorado law, effective November 1, 2019. This law allows publicly traded corporations to apply for and qualify for the ownership of Colorado cannabis licenses.

Consulting Services

We offer consulting services for companies associated with the cannabis industry in all stages of development. Our service offerings include the following:

Equipment and Supplies

In addition to professional consulting services, we operate an equipment and supplies division for customers in the cannabis industry, including through American Cultivator Co., our Group Purchasing Organization that enables customers to procure commonly used cultivation supplies at low prices associated with high volume purchases. Our major product offerings include the following:

Sales and Marketing

We sell our services and products throughout the United States in states that have implemented regulated cannabis programs as well as Canada. We intend to expand our offerings as more new countries, states and jurisdictions as they adopt state-regulated or federalFederal programs.

Research and Development

As a component of our equipment and supplies offerings, from time-to-time we design and develop our own proprietary products to meet demand in markets where current offerings are insufficient. These products include, but are not limited to: the Satchel™, Cultivation Cube™, So-Hum Living Soils™ and the HDCS™. Costs associated with the development of new products are expensed as occurred as research and development operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2015,2018, our research and development costs were $51,115$590, as compared to $12,863$2,403 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.2017.

Intellectual Property

On March 29, 2016, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued us Patent No. 9,296,524 B2 for the Satchel.

We may file for additional patent protection as we deem appropriate to protect new products. We also had trademark applications pending to protect our branding and logos. These pending applications included trademarks for American Cannabis Company (stylized and/or with design logo), American Cannabis Consulting (stylized and/or with design logo), the design and colors used in our leaf logo, the Cultivation CubeCube™ (stylized and/or with design logo), our slogan, (“Growing the Next Frontier”), and two word marks and the logo associated with SoHum Living Soil.Soil™.

Competition

Our competitors include professional services firms dedicated to the regulated cannabis industry as well as suppliers of equipment and supplies commonly utilized in the cultivation, processing, or retail sale of cannabis. We compete in markets where cannabis has been legalized and regulated, which includes various states within the United States, it’s territories and Indian Country therein and Canada. We expect that the quantity and composition of our competitive environment will continue to evolve as the industry matures. Additionally, increased competition is possible to the extent that new states and geographies enter the marketplace as a result of continued enactment of regulatory and legislative changes that de-criminalize and regulate cannabis products. We believe that by being well established in the industry, our experience and success to date, and continued expansion of service and product offerings in new and existing locations are factors that mitigate the risk associated with operating in a developing competitive environment. Additionally, the contemporaneous growth of the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our operations and results.

Employees

As of September 2, 2016,December 31, 2018, we have nine (9)8 full-time employees, all of whom are U.S based, primarily in Colorado at our Denver headquarters.None of our U.S employees are represented by a labor union.

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to developmake estimates and market clinical diagnostic products using immunologyassumptions that affect amounts of assets and molecular biologic technologies.

On March 13, 2013, Naturewell, Inc. completed a merger transaction whereby it acquired 100%liabilities and disclosures of issuedcontingent assets and outstanding share capital of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.

Bothperiods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the merger with American Cannabis Consultingeffects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and disposalunbilled services, lives and recoverability of EsoTV were completed on September 29, 2014. BIMI subsequently amended its Certificateequipment and other long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of Incorporationfuture events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change its nameas new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to American Cannabis Company, Inc.

Cash and cash equivalents are qualifiedheld in their entirety byoperating accounts at a major financial institution. Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the termsfinancial risk associated with these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date. As of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits toDecember 31, 2018, and 2017, the Current Report on Form 8-K filedCompany had cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits of $836,565 and $1,398,087, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of products and equipment owned by the Company to be sold to end-customers. Inventory is valued at cost, using the first-in first-out and specific identification methods, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of December 31, 2018, market values of all of the Company’s inventory were greater than cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowances was recognized.

Research and Development

As a component of our equipment and supplies offerings, from time-to-time we design and develop our own proprietary products to meet demand in markets where current offerings are insufficient. These products include, but are not limited to: The Satchel™, Cultivation Cube™, So-Hum Living Soils™ and the HDCS™. Costs associated with the U.S. Securitiesdevelopment of new products are expensed as occurred as research and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 3, 2014.development operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2018, our research and development costs were $590 as compared to $2,403 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. 

Deposits

Immediately followingDeposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which the completionCompany has not yet taken title. When the Company takes title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below).

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the Merger Agreement, former shareholderscontract or service period. 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of American Cannabis Consulting owned 31,710,628 sharesface amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and, based on a method of American Cannabisspecific identification of any accountsreceivable for which it deems the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining its need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company Inc.’s common stock representing 78.44%considers historical experience, analysis of American Cannabispast due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, the Company’s actual experience may vary from its estimates. If the financial condition of its clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay the Company’s fees, it may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that the Company Inc.’s issuedreceives retainers from its clients prior to performing significant services.

37

The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and outstanding share capital. Accordingly, American Cannabis Consultingother discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 our allowance for doubtful accounts and was deemed to have been$2,635 and $21,581, respectively. For December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we recorded bad debt expense of $2,815 and recovery of bad debt of ($89,715), respectively, which is reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses on the accounting acquirer in a Reverse Merger which resulted in a recapitalizationconsolidated statement of operations.

Significant Customers

For the year ended December 31, 2018, three customers accounted for 47.5% or more, respectively of the Company. Consequently,Company’s total product sales revenues, and four customers accounted for 70.65% or more respectively of the Company’s financial statements reflecttotal service based revenue. For the results of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) from September 29, 2014 toyear ended December 31, 2014.2017, three customers accounted 48.95% or more, respectively of the Company’s total product sales revenues, and four customers accounted for 40.18% or more respectively of the Company’s total service based revenue.

Property and Equipment, net

See Note 14. “Stockholders’ Equity”Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service. Property and equipment is reviewed for further information regardingimpairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the accountingImpairment of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company had not capitalized any interest as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the Reverse Merger.BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

38

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 

Revenue Recognition 

For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. As a smaller reporting company, the Company elected to not adopt FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition as of December 31, 2017. Currently, revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. We intend to apply this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606. 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we will recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment. 

Product Sales

Revenue from product and equipment sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients with shipping-point or destination terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company realizes revenue upon shipment to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales contracts is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the contract, or wouldotherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606. During the year ended December 31, 2018, sales returns were $210 comprised of product returns and replacement.

Consulting Services

We also generate revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into: (1) on an hourly basis for a fixed-fee; or, (2) on a contingent fee basis. Generally, we require a complete or partial prepayment or retainer prior to performing services. 

For hourly based fixed fee service contracts, we utilize and rely upon the proportional performance method, which recognizes revenue as services are performed. Under this method, in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized, we calculate the amount of completed work in comparison to the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable. We segregate upon entry into a contract any advances or retainers received from clients for fixed fee hourly services into a separate “Advances from Clients” account, and only recognize revenues as we incur and charge billable hours, and then deposit the funds earned into our operating account. Because our hourly fees for services are fixed and determinable and are only earned and recognized as revenue upon actual performance, we are 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 we recognize under the contract or would otherwise contain a significant financing component under FASB ASC Topic 606.

Occasionally, our fixed-fee hourly engagements are recognized under the completed performance method. Some fixed fee arrangements are for completion of a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. These engagements do not generally exceed a one-year term. If the performance is for a final deliverable or act, we recognize revenue under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognized once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered for a fixed fee. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. FASB ASC Topic 606 provides a practical expedient to disregard the effects of a financing component if the period between payment and performance is one year or less. As, our fixed fee hourly engagements do not exceed one year, no significant customer-based financing is implicated under FASB ASC Topic 606. During the year ended December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we have incurred no losses from fixed fee engagements that terminate prior to completion. We believe if an engagement terminates prior to completion, we can recover the costs incurred related to the services provided.

We occasionally enter into arrangements for which fixed and determinable revenues are contingent and agreed upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.

Our arrangements with clients may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or estimates of stand-alone selling prices. Revenues are recognized in accordance with our accounting policies for the elements as described above (see Product Sales). The elements qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established by VSOE or an estimated selling price. 

While assigning values and identifying separate elements requires judgment, selling prices of the separate elements are generally readily identifiable as fixed and determinable as we also sell those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements typically incorporate a fixed-fee or hourly pricing structure. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not include provisions for refunds relating to services provided. 

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in totaldirect client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis. 

40

Costs of Revenues

The Company’s policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs are included as a component of selling and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, these costs were $293,241 and $278,542, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

For product and equipment sales, shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, stock-based compensation expense for restricted shares for Company employees and service providers was $73,742 and $893,857, respectively. Compensation expense for warrants and options is based on the fair value of the instruments on the grant date, which is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and are expensed over the expected term of the awards.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company reports net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share because there are no potential dilutable instruments that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities since that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. 

41

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Reclassifications

Certain balance sheet reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to reflect the current period’s presentation format; such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, the following will be required to be recognized for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) as of the commencement date:

A lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing.

Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the application of ASU 2016-02 will have on disclosures associated with its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period.

In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. This guidance became effective for annual reporting and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the modified standard on January 1, 2018, and has concluded that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact or cause the Company to make any adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the modified standard on January 1, 2018 and has concluded that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact or cause the Company to make any adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In June 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-7, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Non-Employee Share Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2018-7 became effective for public entities after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the application of ASU 2018-7 will have on disclosures associated with fair value measurement.

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure of Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 becomes effective for public entities December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the application of ASU 2018-13 will have on disclosures associated with fair value measurement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 and 2014

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.

The company maintains its cash balances in three national financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance for up to $250,000 per institution. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had uninsured balances of $267,238 and $0, respectively. Management believes that these financial institutions are financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. There was no restricted cash included in current assets on our balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Restricted cash previously related to remaining proceeds from a short-term note entered into on March 21, 2014 and fully satisfied on May 15, 2014 (see Note 7. Convertible Notes Payable).

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of products and equipment owned by the Company to be sold to end-customers. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of December 31, 2014, market values of all of the Company’s inventory were greater than cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowances was recognized. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had capitalized $57,170 and $40, 051 of costs associated with the construction of demo inventory, including but not limited to parts for the assembly of scalable cultivation systems; and accordingly, no amortization or depreciation expense was recorded related to this asset for each year, then ended.

Deposits

Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which the Company has not yet taken title. When the Company takes title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below).

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract or service period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which it deems the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining its need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, the Company’s actual experience may vary from its estimates. If the financial condition of its clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay the Company’s fees, it may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that the Company receives retainers from its clients prior to performing significant services.

The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 our allowance for doubtful accounts was $8,419 and $9,338, respectively. For December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded bad debt expense of $30,753 and $9,338, respectively, which is reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

Significant Customers

On a geographical basis, for the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 91% and 9% of our total revenues were generated from the United States and Canada, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately 70% and 30% of our total revenues for the period were generated from the United States and Canada, respectively.

On a geographical basis, for the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 91% and 9% of our total revenues were generated from the United States and Canada, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately 70% and 30% of our total revenues for the period were generated from the United States and Canada, respectively.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company had not capitalized any interest as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605,Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company primarily generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into on a time basis, for a fixed-fee or on a contingent fee basis. Generally, a prepayment or retainer is required prior to performing services.

Revenues from time-based engagements are recognized as the hours are incurred by the Company.

Revenues from fixed-fee engagements are recognized under the completed or proportional performance methods. Management reviews arrangement to determine whether or not the fixed-fee is for a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. If it is, revenue is recognized under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognized once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered. Revenue recognized under the proportional performance method is recognized as services are performed. Under this method, the Company estimates the amount of completed work in comparison to the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no such losses have occurred. The Company believes if an engagement terminates prior to completion it can recover the costs incurred related to the services provided.

The Company occasionally enters into arrangements for which revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company’s arrangements with clients may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), or estimates of stand-alone selling prices. Revenues are recognized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for the elements as described above. The elements qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established by VSOE or an estimated selling price.

While assigning values and identifying separate elements requires judgment, selling prices of the separate elements are generally readily identifiable as the Company also sells those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements typically incorporate a fixed-fee or hourly pricing structure. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not include provisions for refunds relating to services provided.

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled revenue (a component of accounts receivable) or deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled revenue.

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis. 

Revenue from product and equipment sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients with origin terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, sales returns were not significant and as such, no sales return allowance had been recorded as of December 31, 2015 nor at December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company generated revenue from the sale of products to a company managed by a Director of the Company.

Costs of Revenues

The Company’s policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs are included as a component of selling and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these costs were $79,989 and $29,858, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

For product and equipment sales, shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted shares are awarded to employees and service providers and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, stock-based compensation expense for restricted shares was $319,187 and $3,370,128, respectively. Compensation expense for warrants and options is based on the fair value of the instruments on the grant date, which is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and are expensed over the expected term of the awards. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, compensation expense for warrants and options was $0 and $146,551, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our corporate status changed from an S-Corporation, which it had been since inception, to a C-Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2014. As provided in Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code, for income tax purposes, S-Corporations are not subject to corporate income taxes; instead, the owners are taxed on their proportionate share of the S-Corporation’s taxable income. Accordingly, we were only subject to income taxes for a portion of 2014. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  For the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, due to cumulative losses since our corporate status changed, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero. The years 2010 to 2015 remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). By incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards, ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern . Specifically, ASU 2014-15 (1) provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has not elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-15, and accordingly, the requirements of ASU 2014-15 will apply beginning with the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the application of ASU 2014-15 will have on disclosures associated with its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-9 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-9”), which provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective application, with early adoption not permitted. Accordingly, the standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method it will apply and the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.’s share price on April 24, 2014 was $0.24 and accordingly, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature attached to these convertible notes payable was $590,000. However, as the amount of debt discount to be recognized cannot exceed the face value of the convertible notes payable, the convertible notes payable were discounted by the maximum permissible amount of $395,000 due to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion option.

During the period from April 24, 2014 through the effective date of the Merger, September 29, 2014, no convertible notes payable were converted into shares of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. common stock and $84,836 debt discount was amortized during the period. Accordingly as at the effective date of the Reverse Merger, September 29, 2014, a total of $395,000 of convertible notes payable and unamortized debt discount of $310,164 was recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the period from September 29, 2014 to December 31, 2014, $323,500 of the convertible notes payable were converted into 4,043,750 shares of common stock and $263,215 of debt discounted was amortized in the period. The balance of unamortized debt discount outstanding in respect of convertible notes payable that converted into shares of American Cannabis Company, Inc. common stock was amortized in full at the date of conversion.

As of December 31, 2015, the convertible notes payable had a $71,500 face value and a discount of $11,248, for a net carrying value of $60,252 which is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as convertible notes payable, net. As of December 31, 2014, the convertible notes payable had a $71,500 face value and a discount of $46,949, for a net carrying value of $24,551 that is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as Convertible notes payable, net. The convertible notes payable are convertible into 893,750 shares of American Cannabis Company, Inc. common stock. As of April 11^th, 2016, the maturity date on this note has been renegotiated to April 24^th, 2018. On April 12, 2016, the Company received notice of partial conversion of this note in the amount $58,000 convertible into 725,000 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.08 per share.,

Restricted Shares

From time to time, the Company grants certain employees restricted shares of its common stock to provide further compensation in-lieu of wages and to align the employee’s interests with the interests of its stockholders. Because vesting is based on continued employment, these equity-based incentives are also intended to attract, retain and motivate personnel upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company’s success is largely dependent.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted share award activity during the years ended December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017:

Warrants

In connection with his appointment to the Company’s board of directors on November 19, 2014, the Company granted its independent board member, Vincent “Tripp” Keber, warrants to purchase up to two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) shares of common stock at an exercise price of sixty-three cents ($0.63) per share, exercisable within five (5) years of the date of issuance on November 19, 2014. Concurrently, the Company agreed to award Mr. Keber an option to purchase three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of common stock at an exercise price of sixty-three cents ($0.63) per share. The warrants and options expire on November 19, 2019.

On August 31, 2017, the Company issued Anthony Baroud warrants to purchase up to fifty thousand (50,000) shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.93 in a cashless transaction. The warrants expired on March 1, 2018. 

On December 31, 2018, pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, the Company issued an aggregate of 895,000 warrants to the following persons to purchase common stock in cashless transactions, with an aggregate value of $204,995.

The Company issued Michael Schwanbeck warrants to purchase twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued Mitchell Day warrants to purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued Tad Mailander warrants to purchase one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued Tyler A. Schloesser warrants to purchase one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued April Robertson warrants to purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued Terry L. Buffalo Revocable Living Trust four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued Ellis Smith one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of common stock.

The Company issued Jon Workman one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of common stock.

The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants as of the grant date. Assumptions used in this calculation for the warrant award to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock include expected volatility of 144.2%, based on an average of historical data of the Company’s stock price and the stock prices of three comparable companies that are also included in the marijuana index, a risk-free rate of 1.23%, based on U.S. Treasury yields as published by the Federal Reserve, a dividend yield of 0.0%, as the Company has not historically paid dividends nor does it have any plans to do so in the foreseeable future, and an expected term of five years. The grant date fair value of the warrants, as calculated based on these assumptions, was $0.91 per share.

During 2018 the Company had the following warrant activity. During 2017 the Company had no warrant activity:

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Legislation) in the United States enacted on December 22, 2017 significantly revised the United States corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings and profits of U.S.-owned foreign subsidiaries (the Toll Charge). As a fiscal-year taxpayer, certain provisions of the Tax Legislation impacted us in fiscal 2018, including the change in the corporate income tax rate, while other provisions will be effective starting at the beginning of fiscal 2019. Accordingly, our federal statutory income tax rate for fiscal 2018 reflected a blended rate of approximately 21%.

The following table displays a reconciliation from the U.S. statutory rate to the effective tax rate and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

AMERICAN CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.The Company determined that it is not more likely than not that its deferred tax asset would be realizable. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax asset, resulting in a zero carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax asset and no benefit from or provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Federal and state operating loss carry forwards are $2,305,640 and $1,354,949 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, begin expiring on 2034. The years 2010 to 2015 remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions.

There were 150,000 restricted shares granted as of December 31, 2014 and recognized $40,903 in associated employee stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Warrants

In connection with his appointment to the Company’s board of directors, the Company granted its independent board member, Vincent “Tripp” Keber, warrants to purchase up to two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) shares of common stock at an exercise price of sixty-three cents ($0.63) per share, exercisable within five (5) years of the date of issuance on November 19, 2014. Additionally, Mr. Keber shall be eligible to receive options for 400,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s incentive plan, as and when duly approved by the Board of Directors.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants as of the grant date. Assumptions used in this calculation for the warrant award to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock include expected volatility of 160.7%, based on an average of historical data of the Company’s stock price and the stock prices of three comparable companies that are also included in the marijuana index, a risk-free rate of 1.62%, based on U.S. Treasury yields as published by the Federal Reserve, a dividend yield of 0.0%, as the Company has not historically paid dividends nor does it have any plans to do so in the foreseeable future, and an expected term of five years. The grant date fair value of the warrants, as calculated based on these assumptions, was $0.59 per share.

Compensation expense associated with warrants was $146,551 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of general and administrative expenses. No warrants were issued or outstanding during 2015, and accordingly, there was no compensation expense associated with warrants for the year ended December 31, 2015.

As of December 31, 2015, the exercise price per share exceeded the price per share of our common shares. There was no aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding warrants.

Note 13. Income Taxes

As part of the Reverse Merger, the Company’s corporate status changed from an S-Corporation, which it had been since inception, to a C-Corporation. As provided in Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code, for income tax purposes, S-Corporations are not subject to corporate income taxes; instead, the owners are taxed on their proportionate share of the S-Corporation’s taxable income. Accordingly, the Company was not subject to income tax for the year ended December 31, 2015 and was only subject to income taxes for a portion of the year ended December 31, 2014.

The following table displays a reconciliation from the U.S. statutory rate to the effective tax rate and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

		December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015 and 2014

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

		December 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
Net operating loss carryforwards		$	76,630			$	16,361

Valuation allowance			(1,493,199	)			(1,294,775	)
Total deferred tax assets		$	—			$	—

Due to cumulative net losses since the change in our corporate status to a C-Corporation, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not that its deferred tax asset would be realizable. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax asset, resulting in a zero carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax asset and no benefit from or provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets was zero due to the valuation allowance. Federal and state operating loss carry forwards of $198,369 as of December 31, 2016 begin expiring on 2034. The years 2010 to 2015 remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions.

Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements areof the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company has electedpursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year endingended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on December 31. Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other periods.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Certain balance sheet reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to reflect the current period’s presentation format;format; such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Reclassifications

Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amountsthe amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate;climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made whencircumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations;operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

55

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.SX. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position;position; (b) the result of operations;operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.

Accounts Receivable

 Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable periodically based on specific identification of any accounts receivable for which the Company deems the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded; in these cases, an allowance for doubtful accounts is established for those balances. In determining its need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, the Company’s actual experience may vary from its estimates. If the financial condition of its clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay the Company’s fees, it may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that the Company receives retainers from its clients prior to performing significant services.

 The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $43,116 and $2,635, respectively. The Company recorded bad debt expense during the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $43,774 and $19,985 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Deposits

Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which the Company has not yet taken title. When the Company takes title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale.

Inventory

 Inventory is comprised of products and equipment owned by the Company to be sold to end customers. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, market values of all of the Company’s inventory were greater than cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowances were recognized.

Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract or service period. 

AMERICAN CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

Significant Clients and Customers

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, four2019, three customers individually accounted for $494,003 of the Company’s total revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 79%$222,125 of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, six customers individually accounted for $834,907 of the Company’s total revenues; these customers accounted forequaling approximately 71%30.4% of the Company’s total revenues for the period.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Costs associated with in progress construction are capitalized as incurred and depreciation is consummated once the underlying asset is placed into service. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company did not capitalize any interest as of June 30, 2019.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. The Company had not recorded any impairment charges related to long-lived assets as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense, over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

57

Revenue Recognition

For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented for reporting periods after January 1, 2018. We applied this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we will recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.

Product Sales

Revenue from product and equipment sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients with shipping-point or destination terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales contracts is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the contract, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, sales returns were $15,528 comprised of product returns and replacement.

Consulting Services

We also generate revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into: (1) on an hourly basis for a fixed-fee; or, (2) on a contingent fee basis. Generally, we require a complete or partial prepayment or retainer prior to performing services 

58

For hourly based fixed fee service contracts, we utilize and rely upon the proportional performance method, which recognizes revenue as services are performed. Under this method, in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized, we calculate the amount of completed work in comparison to the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable. We segregate upon entry into a contract any advances or retainers received from clients for fixed fee hourly services into a separate “Advances from Clients” account, and only recognize revenues as we incur and charge billable hours, and then deposit the funds earned into our operating account. Because our hourly fees for services are fixed and determinable and are only earned and recognized as revenue upon actual performance, we are 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 we recognize under the contract or would otherwise contain a significant financing component under FASB ASC Topic 606.

Occasionally, our fixed-fee hourly engagements are recognized under the completed performance method. Some fixed fee arrangements are for completion of a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. These engagements do not generally exceed a one-year term. If the performance is for a final deliverable or act, we recognize revenue under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognized once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered for a fixed fee. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. FASB ASC Topic 606 provides a practical expedient to disregard the effects of a financing component if the period between payment and performance is one year or less. As, our fixed fee hourly engagements do not exceed one year, no significant customer-based financing is implicated under FASB ASC Topic 606. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, we have incurred no losses from fixed fee engagements that terminate prior to completion. We believe if an engagement terminates prior to completion, we can recover the costs incurred related to the services provided. 

We occasionally enter into arrangements for which fixed and determinable revenues are contingent and agreed upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.

Our arrangements with clients may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or estimates of stand-alone selling prices. Revenues are recognized in accordance with our accounting policies for the elements as described above (see Product Sales). The elements qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established by VSOE or an estimated selling price.

While assigning values and identifying separate elements requires judgment, selling prices of the separate elements are generally readily identifiable as fixed and determinable as we also sell those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements typically incorporate a fixed-fee or hourly pricing structure. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not include provisions for refunds relating to services provided.

59

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in total direct client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis.

Costs of Revenues

 The Company’s policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

 Selling and Marketing costs are included as a component of selling and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, these costs were $78,399 and $71,711, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

 For product and equipment sales, shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. The Company recognizes related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had stock based compensation expense of $0 and $25,242, respectively. During six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, there was $43,744 and $25,242 in stock based compensation expense respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company’s corporate status changed from an SCorporation, which it had been since inception, to a CCorporation during the year ended December 31, 2014. As provided in Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code, for income tax purposes, SCorporations are not subject to corporate income taxes; instead, the owners are taxed on their proportionate share of the SCorporation’s taxable income. Accordingly, we were not subject to income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, two customers individually2019, due to cumulative losses since our corporate status changed, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero.

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

60

Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10– 15, to be accounted for 10%by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the Company’s revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 63% of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 70% of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more and 65% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more and 66% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. 

transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company reports net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutiveantidilutive effect on earnings.

Due to the Company’s net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015,2019, any potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015for these periods, respectively, were not presented in the EPS computations, as their effect would have been antidilutive.

RecentAccounting Pronouncements

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. Topic 842 can 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.

We 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 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 withoutreassessing (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.

61

In considering its qualitative disclosure obligations under ASC 842-20-50-3, the Company examined its one lease for office space that has a fixed monthly rent with no variable lease payments and no options to extend. The lease is for an office space with no right of use assets. The lease 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 also elected a short-term lease exception policy and an accounting policy to not separate non-lease components from lease components for our facility lease, as we determined our right of use asset to be zero.

Consistent with ASC 842-20-50-4, for the Company's June 30, 2019, quarterly financial statements, the 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. Our 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 measurement 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 remaining lease term; or the weighted-average discount rate.

The Company has reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and it does not believe anyadoption of these pronouncements will have a materialthis guidance resulted in no significant impact on the Company.

The statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates” and similar words, constitute forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Costs of Revenues

Costs of revenues primarily consist of labor, travel, and other costs directly attributable to providing services or products. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, our total costs of revenues were $480,657, or 48.8% of total revenues. This compares to total costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $548,481 or 60.1% of total revenues. The decrease in costs of revenues of $67,824 was primarily due to the overall increase in sales volume discussed above and a reduction in our internal infrastructure development. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, consulting-related costs were $99,800, or 10.1% of total revenue, as compared to costs of $146,483 or 16.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Costs associated with products and equipment were $380,857, or 38.1% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $401,998, or 44.1% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As a percentage of revenues, the decreases were primarily due to level of sales volume, as discussed above, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as certain labor intensive services made up a comparably smaller percentage of revenues as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $503,395 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $359,673 and products and equipment gross profit of $143,723. This compares to total gross profit of $363,931 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $317,575 and products and equipment gross profit of $46,356. These increases of $42,098 in consulting services gross profit and $97,367 in products and equipment gross profit were primarily due to lower labor intensive services on the consulting revenues, and growth in sales of our products and equipment offerings. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was 51.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 39.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $591,398, or 60.1% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $689,531, or 75.6% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in investor relations expenses as the Company is currently utilizing internal resources for this function instead of outside sources; also the Company has not invested in research and development projects during the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, the Company has reduced selling and marketing efforts due to achieving a stronger brand recognition in the market place during the six months ended 2016, which has resulted in lower expenditures for trade shows and conferences as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. However, there was an increase in general and administrative expenses which was attributed to bad debts expense in 2016 for which there was $0 in 2015, along with increase in professional fees such as accounting, auditing and legal services, which are all needed to run a public company, as well as an increase in payroll costs as the Company allocated less labor to projects for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to June 30, 2015.

Other Income (Expense) 

Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was expense of $10,329 as compared with income of $55,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company incurred non-cash interest expense reflecting $10,329 related to convertible notes payable discount amortization for the period, which was partially offset by interest income as compared to $17,623 expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $72,771 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Although our tax status changed from a non-taxable pass-through entity (S-Corporation) to a taxable entity (C-Corporation) during the year ended December 31, 2014, due to cumulative losses since we became a C-Corporation, we recorded a valuation allowance against our related deferred tax asset which netted our deferred tax asset and benefit for income taxes to zero for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $98,332 or 10.0% of total revenues and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $270,452 or 29.6% of total revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016,2019, our primary internal sources of liquidity were our working capital, which included cash and cash equivalents of $228,654$918,127 and accounts receivable of $151,736. We also have the ability to raise additional capital as needed through external equity financing transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of non-cash expenses, the Company’s operating cash flows were a use of $464,529 due to an increase in accounts receivable of $116,795, a decrease in advances from clients of $105,416 and a decrease in accounts payable of $146,491.$236,825. Additionally, considering that our fixed overhead costs are low, we have the ability to issue stock to compensate employees and management, and the level of future revenue we expect to generate from executed client contracts, we believe our liquidity and capital resources to be adequate to fund our operational and general and administrative expenses for at least the next 12 months without needing to raise additional debt or equity funding. There is no guarantee we will have the ability to raise additional capital as needed through external equity financing transactions if required.

Non-GAAPNonGAAP Financial Measures

We use Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP metric, to monitor our overall business performance. We define Adjusted EBITA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, stock-basedstock based compensation and certain non-recurringnonrecurring expenses, which to date have been limited to costs associated with the Reverse Merger. We believe that such adjustments to arrive at Adjusted EBITA provides us with a more comparable measure for managing our business. We also believe that it is a useful measure for securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITA is provided below.

The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145.

Our bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or officer in respect of a proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such director or officer, unless such proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board of Directors pursuant to the applicable procedure outlined in the bylaws.

Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held jointly and severally liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

We maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against losses arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers.

Undertakings

 

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii.  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 

 

(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6) The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

Table of Contents

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
