Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation Our business is primarily engaged in the identification, structuring and seeking to execute on acquisitions of all or a portion of one or more operating businesses involving the manufacture, sale and distribution of cannabinoid-infused products such as beverages, shots, water, other liquids, water soluble nano drops or liquids, lotions, sprays, conditioners, creams, oils, pre-rolled hemp joints and hemp cigarettes, cartridges, syringes, tinctures, powder, water packets, effervescent tablets, capsules, bath bombs, balms, body washes, gummies, food, other edibles, and non-prescription cannabinoid formulations (a “Canna-Infused Products Company”). Our business also involves selling and distributing products containing nicotine. Our business has also involved selling and distributing hand sanitizer during the pendency of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of also acquiring operating businesses and/or assets involving products containing nicotine, marijuana, distilled spirits, beer, wine, and real estate. In addition, management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of acquiring all or a portion of one or more operating businesses and/or assets that are considered to be “essential” businesses which are unlikely to be shut down by the government during pandemics such as COVID-19. To date, we have acquired 100% of the ownership interests in one Canna-Infused Products Company now called Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made (formerly Warrender Enterprise Inc. d/b/a Lifted Liquids), 4.99% of the ownership interests in a second Canna-Infused Products Company called Ablis Holding Company ("Ablis"), and 4.99% of the ownership interests in two other businesses that manufacture distilled spirits called Bendistillery Inc. ("Bendistillery") and Bend Spirits, Inc. ("Bend Spirits"). Lifted Made owns 50% of SmplyLifted LLC. We have also terminated a planned acquisition of Canna-Infused Products Company called CBD Lion LLC. At this point in time, we are in discussions with certain companies in our acquisition pipeline. However, our cash on hand is currently limited, so in order to close future acquisitions it is highly likely that it will be necessary for us to raise additional capital, and no guarantee or assurance can be made that such capital can be raised on acceptable terms, if at all. For more information, please refer to “Description of the Business of Acquired Sales Corp.” “The Lifted Made Business” “ITEM 1. BUSINESS” above. Consolidated Financial Statements Use of Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company maintains its cash balance at a credit-worthy financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. Notes Receivable Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair-value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 – Level 2 – Level 3 – SmplyLifted LLC is not publicly traded, and as such its financial instruments are Level 3 unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Accounts Receivable Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement Inventory December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Raw Goods $ 500,657 $ - Finished Goods $ 140,538 $ - Total Inventory $ 641,195 $ - Monthly overhead costs such as payments for rent, utilities, insurance, and indirect labor are allocated to finished goods based on the estimated percentage cost toward the finished goods. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, $8,313 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, $14,560 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, $10,394 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, $12,240 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. As described in “ Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement The following were written off as obsolete inventory during the quarter ended December 31, 2020: 1) Obsolete disposable nicotine vapes; 2) Various sized bottles of hand sanitizer; 3) Moldy hemp flower; 4) Unbottled gel and liquid hand sanitizer; 5) Unbottled e-liquid; and 6) Obsolete labels. The process of determining obsolete inventory during the quarter involved: 1) Identifying raw goods that would no longer be used in the manufacture of finished goods; 2) Identifying finished goods that would no longer be sold; and 3) Valuing and expensing raw and finished goods that would no longer be sold. Fixed Assets Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management then prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Security Deposit Investments Investment in SmplyLifted LLC Lifted owns 50% of SmplyLifted LLC (“SmplyLifted”). The other 50% of SmplyLifted is owned by SMPLSTC LLC and its principals, who are located in Costa Mesa, California. Under US GAAP, the Company uses the equity method to account for its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share (50%) of SmplyLifted’s earnings (or losses) as income (or losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded its initial investment in SmplyLifted, which was $200,000, as an asset at historical cost. Under the equity method, the investment’s value is periodically adjusted to reflect the changes in value due to Lifted’s share in SmplyLifted’s income or losses. Goodwill Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests. The Company performed its annual fair value assessment at December 31, 2020 on the goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition of Lifted, and determined that no impairment was necessary. Please refer to “ NOTE 3 – THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENTS” Revenue The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Raw Materials to Customers The Company sells hemp flower, hemp-derived cannabinoids and other raw materials (“Raw Materials”) to various customers. The Company does not offer terms to customers buying Raw Materials. In the majority of sales of Raw Materials to customers, customers are required to pay the full price before receiving the Raw Materials. In some cases, with the sale of large quantities of Raw Materials to customers with whom the Company has established relationships, the Company may allow the customer to pay 50% of the purchase up front, and then, after delivery of the product, the customer is required to pay the remaining 50% of the purchase price. Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Products to Private Label Clients Typically, private label clients are required to pay up front for the goods that they order. If the private label client orders more than ten stock keeping units (“SKUs”) in an order, the Company will collect a down payment of at least 50% of the total purchase order, and then will collect the remaining amount upon delivery of the purchased goods. Revenue Recognition on the Sale of Lifted Liquids-Branded Products to Wholesalers, Distributors and End Users The Company sells its own branded products to distributors, which then sell Lifted’s products to vape and smoke shops, CBD stores, convenience stores, health food stores, and other outlets. The Company also sells its own branded products to wholesalers and directly to consumers online. The Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers. Promotional and other allowances (variable consideration) recorded as a reduction to gross sales, primarily include consideration given to the Company’s distributors or retail customers including, but not limited to, discounted products. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience. Described below are some of the reasons why a customer may want to return an ordered item, and how the Company responds in each situation: 1) The ordered item breaks, melts, or separates in transit to the customer. In this case, the Company will replace the broken, melted or separated item at no cost to the customer. 2) The Company sent the wrong item to the customer. In this case, the Company will allow the customer to keep, at no cost to the customer, the item that was mistakenly sent to the customer. The Company will also send the correct product to the customer, at no cost to the customer. 3) The customer ordered the wrong product. In this case, the customer, at his/her own expense, must mail the mistakenly ordered product back to the Company, and the Company will mail the correct product to the customer. 4) The ordered item is recalled. In a situation where product is recalled, the Company will offer a replacement, credit, or refund. Historically, the scenarios described above have occurred infrequently, and occurrences have been immaterial. However, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company provided many replacements, and issued refunds or credits to many customers who purchased delta-8-THC gummies that melted in transit, and delta-8-THC nano drops that had separation issues. Disaggregation of Revenue During the year ended December 31, 2020, all of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America. Contract Liabilities Amounts received from a customer before the purchased product is shipped to the customer is treated as deferred revenue. If cash is not received, an accounts receivable is recognized, but revenue is not recognized until an order is fully shipped. There was deferred revenue of $1,057,105 as of December 31, 2020. There was no deferred revenue recognized as of December 31, 2019. Cost of Goods Sold Operating Expenses Income Taxes Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Net Loss $ (1,534,589) $ (1,236,105) Weighted Average Shares Outstanding 5,927,480 2,577,349 Basic and Diluted Loss per Share $ (0.29) $ (0.48) As of December 31, 2020, in addition to our outstanding common stock, we have issued (a) options to purchase 1,151,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 403,921 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share, (e) financing warrants to purchase 31,250 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share, and (f) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share. Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our commons stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met. Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements. In comparison, at December 31, 2019, there were outstanding options to purchase 1,586,619 shares of common stock at between $0.001 and $2.00 per share, (b) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share, and (c) financing warrants to purchase 31,250 shares of common stock at $0.03. As of the date of this report, none of these outstanding options, rights to purchase warrants or financing warrants have been exercised into shares of common stock. However, all of them may be exercised at any time in the sole discretion of the holder except for the rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our commons stock, are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met. At December 31, 2019, the Company had Series A Preferred Stock Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 250-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs for internal-use software. The accounting for any hosting contract is unchanged. ASU 2018-15 is effective on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted, including adoption in any interim period. Because the Company does not currently have any cloud computing arrangements that include a software license, fees associated with any hosting element are expensed as incurred. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The FASB noted that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. Advertising and Marketing Expenses Compensated Absences Off Balance Sheet Arrangements Reclassifications Business Combinations and Consolidated Results of Operations and Outlook Business Combinations and Reorganizations When the Company acquires a business, we allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at their respective estimated fair values. We record any premium over the fair value of net assets acquired as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price involves judgments and estimates both in characterizing the assets and in determining their fair value. We use all available information to make these fair value determinations and engage independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of the acquired long-lived assets. During 2020, the acquisition of Lifted added approximately $4,444 in purchased intangible assets and $22,292,767 in goodwill to the consolidated balance sheet. January 1, 2019 - February 24, 2020 (Acquisition Date) (1) February 24, 2020 (Acquisition Date) - December 31, 2020 (2) Net Sales $ 4,450,339 $ 5,344,320 Net Earnings $ 549,999 $ 461,913 Shown above are Lifted’s net sales and net earnings for the following two periods: (1) January 1, 2019 through February 24, 2020 (acquisition date) (2) February 24, 2020 (acquisition date) to December 31, 2020 The foregoing disclosures of net sales and net earnings during those periods solely reflects Lifted’s financial results. Prior to its acquisition of Lifted on February 24, 2020, Acquired Sales Corp. had no sources of revenue, so the acquisition of Lifted was significant for Acquired Sales Corp. |
