Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased 35% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales decreased 6% between the periods. The decrease in revenues is primarily a result of the significant increase in competition for market share in the cannabis tele-medicine industry. This decrease in the demand for our service continued during the first quarter of 2024.
Total operating expenses decreased in March 31, 2024 compared with 2023 which trended down as did revenue in the current period. Decreases in professional fees, depreciation and amortization, wages and salaries, advertising, and general and administrative expenses. Professional fees and advertising decreased with continuing efforts at cost reduction. Advertising costs were reduced by taking a more focused approach to our target markets. PrestoDoctor managements salaries also decreased in March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in operating activities was $24,744 in the three months period ended March 31,2024 We ended the first quarter of 2024 with $59,018 in cash on hand.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses of $222,568 and $500,101, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 and had an accumulated deficit of $82,283,765 as of March 31, 2024. The Company may seek to raise money for working capital purposes through a public offering of its equity capital or through a private placement of equity capital or convertible debt. It will be important for the Company to be successful in its efforts to raise capital in this manner if it is going to be able to further its business plan in an aggressive manner. Raising capital in this manner will cause dilution to current shareholders.
The amount of cash on hand the Company has does not provide sufficient liquidity to meet the immediate needs of our current operations.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Conclusions of Management Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as it was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures.
Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As the Company grows, management expects to increase the number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business:
Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company,” “us”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as Ultra Sun Corp. under the laws of Nevada in November 2004. On November 13, 2013, we changed our name to Cannabis Sativa, Inc. We operate through several subsidiaries including:
·PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”)
·Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”)
·Kubby Patent and Licenses Limited Liability Company (“KPAL”)
·Hi Brands, International, Inc. (“Hi Brands”)
·Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”).
PrestoCorp is a 51% owned subsidiary. Wild Earth, KPAL, Hi Brands, and Eden are wholly owned subsidiaries. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, PrestoCorp is the sole operating subsidiary.
Our primary operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were through PrestoCorp, which provides telemedicine online referral services for customers desiring medical marijuana cards in states where medical marijuana has been legalized. The Company is actively seeking new business opportunities for acquisition and is continually reviewing opportunities for product and brand development through our Wild Earth, Hi Brands, and KPAL subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements and related footnotes set forth in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2024.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024, and its results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (‘GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBDS”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and PrestoCorp, a 51% owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern:
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $82,283,765 at March 31, 2024, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future
F-6
and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, contingencies, and the value attributed to stock-based awards.
Net Loss per Share:
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company had -0- and 50,000 outstanding warrants, respectively, and -0- shares of convertible preferred stock, respectively, that would be dilutive to future periods net income if converted.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The reclassifications made to the prior year have no impact on net income or overall presentation of the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
Accounting Standards Updates Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Early adoption of this update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
2. Intangibles and Goodwill
The Company considers all intangibles to be definite-lived assets with lives of 5 to 10 years. Intangibles consisted of the following at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
