| 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation: Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Wild Earth Naturals, Inc., Hi-Brands International, Inc., Eden Holdings LLC and its 50.1% and 51% ownership of iBudtender Inc and PrestoCorp, respectively, (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Method of Accounting: The Company maintains its books and prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. Use of Estimates: The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include the valuation of digital currency, allowance for doubtful accounts, realizability of inventories, valuation of intangible assets in connection with business combinations, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, and the valuation of equity based instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CANNABIS SATIVA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 Liquidity Our operations have been financed primarily through proceeds from notes payable, convertible notes payable, sale of common stock and revenue generated from sales of our products and services. These funds have provided us with the resources to operate our business, sell and support our products, attract and retain key personnel and add new products to our portfolio. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each year since our inception. As of September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $64,000,000. We have raised funds through the issuance of debt and the sale of common stock. We have also issued equity instruments in certain circumstances to pay for services from officers, professionals and consultants. During 2017, a total of $771,236 was raised in gross proceeds from the issuance of common stock. See Note 9 for the Company’s plan for the future. Inventory: Inventory cost includes those costs directly attributable to the product before sale. Inventory consists of salves, ointments, lotions, creams, balms, and marketing merchandise and is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using first-in, first-out method of determining cost. At September 30, 2017, there was $9,036 in raw materials and $250 in finished goods inventory. At December 31, 2016 the Company has $8,783 in raw materials and $345 in finished goods inventory. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short term nature or effective interest rates. Net Loss per Share: 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 an entity. Common stock equivalents from convertible notes payable, warrants and preferred stock were approximately 732,000 and 732,000 at September 30, 2017 and 2016 and are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. CANNABIS SATIVA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 Digital Currencies Translations and Re-measurements The Company accounts for digital currencies, which it considers to be an operating asset, at their initial cost and subsequently re-measures the carrying amounts of digital currencies it owns at each reporting period based on their current fair value. The changes in the fair value of digital currencies are included as a component of income or loss from operations. The Company currently classifies digital currencies as a current asset. The Company estimates the equivalency rate of hempcoins to bitcoins to USD from Coinmarketcap.com. The equivalency rate of garycoins to bitcoins to USD is estimated from C-cex.com and Coinmarketcap.com. The Company also estimates a liquidity discount. The equivalency rate obtained from Coinmarket represents a generally well recognized quoted price in an active market for bitcoins, which market and related database are accessible to the Company on an ongoing basis. Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are comprised of patents, trademarks, the Company’s “CBDS.com” website domain and intellectual property rights. The patent is being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life, which is estimated to be twenty (20) years. The trademarks are being amortized between 15 and 20 years. CBDS.com website is being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life, which is estimated to be fifteen (15) years. The intellectual property rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life, which is estimated to be between (5 - 15) years. Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payment to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company has selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for our awards and has recognized compensation costs immediately as our awards are 100% vested. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718. Advertising Expense: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were approximately $172,400 and $77,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. CANNABIS SATIVA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 Recent Accounting Pronouncements: There have been no recent accounting pronouncements issued which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Management continues to monitor and review recently issued accounting guidance upon issuance. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This updated guidance supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date by one year for public entities and others. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 which clarifies the principle for determining whether a good or service is “separately identifiable” and, therefore, should be accounted for separately. In May 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 which clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion. A separate update issued in May 2016 clarifies the accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs as well as accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. We plan to adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. We currently believe that once we do adopt this standard, we will use the modified retrospective approach. Under the modified approach, an entity recognizes “the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application” (revenue in periods presented in the consolidated financial statements before that date is reported under guidance in effect before the change). Using this approach, an entity applies the guidance in the ASU to existing contracts (those for which the entity has remaining performance obligations) as of, and new contracts after, the date of initial application. The ASU is not applied to contracts that were completed before the effective date (i.e., an entity has no remaining performance obligations to fulfill). Entities that elect the modified approach must disclose an explanation of the impact of adopting the ASU, including the consolidated financial statement line items and respective amounts directly affected by the standard’s application. While we are still currently assessing the impact of the new standard, our revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. The timing of revenue recognition for these product sales are not materially impacted by the new standard. However, we are utilizing a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of the guidance on our current contract portfolio by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the new requirements to our revenue contracts, including evaluation of performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation and accounting treatment of costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. We continue to make significant progress on the potential impact on our accounting policies and internal control processes including system readiness. In addition, we will update certain disclosures, as applicable, included in our filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to meet the requirements of the new guidance. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. We plan to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of our operating leases to show equal and offsetting lease assets and lease liabilities. CANNABIS SATIVA, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 Recent Accounting Pronouncements - continued: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The issues addressed in this ASU that will affect us is classifying debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures and had no other impact to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The ASU involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. Certain of these changes are required to be applied retrospectively, while other changes are required to be applied prospectively. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017, we have made an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur. There is no cumulative-effect adjustment as a result of the adoption of this ASU as our estimated forfeiture rate prior to adoption of this ASU was 0%. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Current U.S. GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Topic 330. Inventory, currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this ASU more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in IFRS. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.

This ASU 2014-15 describes how an entity should assess its ability to meet obligations and sets rules for how this information should be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The standard provides accounting guidance that will be used along with existing auditing standards. The ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
