NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION, GOING CONCERN AND CORRECTION OF PRIOR YEAR INFORMATION
Interim Financial Reporting
While the information presented in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim financial statements and the notes thereto do not contain all of the disclosures normally found in year-end audited financial statements and these Notes to Financial Statements are abbreviated and contain only certain disclosures related to the three and six month period ended June 30, 2015. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2014 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on June 23, 2015. Operating results for the three an six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.
Earnings Per Share
We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts in our financial reporting. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to Common Stock holders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from our convertible debt. Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the shares underlying the outstanding convertible debt were excluded as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company's ability to establish itself as a profitable business. At June 30, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,691,021 and has a working capital deficit of $1,358,379. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties, nor do they include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation. The Company’s ability to continue in business is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing or attaining profitable operations. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.
Correction of Prior Year Information
During the audit of the year ended December 31, 2014, we identified errors in previously reported financial statements for the interim quarters of 2014. These errors were in the valuation and accounting for stock issued for services and the the valuation and accounting for derivative liabilities. This resulted in adjustments to the previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (SAB 99 and SAB 108), the Company evaluated these errors and, based upon an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the error was immaterial to each of the prior reporting periods affected. However, if the adjustments to correct the cumulative effect of the above error had been recorded in the tyhree and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company believes that the impact would have been significant and would impact comparisons to prior periods. Therefore, as permitted by SAB 108, the Company corrected, in the current filing, previously reported results as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
The following table presents the comparative effect of the correction to the three and six month information and the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014:

NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
On June 29, 2015, the Company purchased $16,120 of office equipmen and telephone equipment.
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while additions and improvements are capitalized. The Company depreciates the costs of these assets over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset's original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization are generally accounted for using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Office, protective and demonstration, and computer equipment | 4 Years |
Manufacturing equipment | 10 Years |
Leasehold improvements | lease term |
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable.
NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSET
In June 2015. the Company purchased a hemp based drink formula fopr $50,000, paying $15,000 in cash and issuing a note for $35,000 (See Note-7 Notes Payable).
The Company's intangible assets comprise a license, trademarks and patents which are accounted for at cost. The license is amortized over 17 years which is the life of the agreement. The trademarks and patents are amortized straight-line over 20 years. Should the Company determine that there is permanent impairment in the value of the unamortized portion of an intangible asset an appropriate amount of the unamortized balance of the intangible asset would be charged to income at that time.

The outstanding convertible notes bear no interest, are due on demand and are convertible into common stock at variable rates based upon discounts to the market price of the common stock. The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the outstanding convertible notes. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the convertible notes and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate fair value of the outstanding derivative liabilities was determined to be $902,551. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:
Dividend yield: | | | -0- | % |
Market price of common stock: | | | $0.0103 | |
Expected volatility: | | | Maximum | |
Risk free rate: | | | 0.05 | % |
The fair value of the outstanding embedded derivatives of $679,223 at June 30, 2015 was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
| | Total | | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model including quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical prices for the Company’s common stock and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

Basis of presentation and going concern uncertainty
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company's ability to establish itself as a profitable business. At June 30, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,691,021 and has a working capital deficit of $1,358,379. The Company’s ability to continue in business is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing or attaining profitable operations; however, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations, therefore these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties, nor do they include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no changes from the Critical Accounting Policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We began current operations in February 2014 and have yet to attain a level of operations which allows us to meet our current overhead requirements. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations prior to 2015 and there is no assurance that such an operating level will ever be achieved. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, infrastructure, production expenses and significant marketing related expenditures to gain market recognition, so that we can achieve a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure, none of which can be assured. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s cash balance was $42,405.

The Company’s working capital deficit as of June 30, 2015 was $1,358,379.
The Company will need to raise additional capital to expand operations to the point at which the Company can achieve profitability. The terms of financing that may be raised may not be on terms acceptable by the Company. If adequate funds cannot be raised outside of the Company, the Company’s current stockholders may need to contribute funds to sustain operations. The Company does not have any agreements with any of its stockholders to provide any capital and there can be no assurance that any stockholder would be able or willing to fund the Company's continued operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as such, is not required to provide the information required under this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), Robert Sand, the Company's President and Principal Executive Officer and Treasurer and Principal Accounting Officer ("CFO") (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), initially evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that initial evaluation, Mr. Sand concluded, upon consultation with prior management,that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s President/CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to the material weaknesses described below. These weaknesses are being addressed with the inclusion of additional board of director members and the intention to hire a Chief Financial Officer with requisite experience and knowledge of the requirements. When this is complete the Company will have an audit committee task with
addressing and correcting all material weaknesses.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company believes its weaknesses in internal controls and procedures is due to the Company's lack of sufficient personnel with expertise in the area of SEC, GAAP and tax accounting procedures. In addition, the Company lacks the personnel structure, size and complexity to segregate duties sufficiently for proper controls. The Company has not implemented a formal system of internal control that provides for multiple levels of supervision and review.
The Company is currently without sufficient funds to hire additional personnel with expertise in these areas and to segregate duties for proper controls and until such time as additional personnel are hired, the Company believes that it will continue to recognize a weakness in its internal controls and procedures. The Company currently engages outside consultants to assist in the areas of tax and accounting procedures. This will be addressed for correction during the period ending September 30, 2015.
The Company plans to hire additional personnel to properly implement a control structure during the quarter ending September 30, 2015. In the meantime, the Chief Executive Officer/Financial Officer will continue to perform or supervise the performance of additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including detailed validation work with regard to balance sheet account balances, additional analysis on income statement amounts and managerial review of all significant account balances and disclosures, to ensure that the Company's Annual Report and the financial statements forming part thereof are in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our principal executive and financial officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the fact that the Company has only one director and executive officer dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a significant deficiency in the internal controls. Management has decided that considering the officer/director involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management plans to re-evaluate this situation periodically. In light of the Company’s current cash flow situation, the Company does not intend to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.
