PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This prospectus summary contains an overview of the information from this prospectus, but may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This prospectus includes specific terms of the offering of our common stock, information about our business, and financial data. We encourage you to read this prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 6, in its entirety before making an investing decision. You should read this prospectus together with additional information described below under the heading "Where You Can Find Additional Information." As used in this prospectus, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to CannaSys, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Nevada and our predecessors and subsidiaries, unless the context indicates a different meaning.
CannaSys
We create, develop, and commercialize innovative solutions for the expanding medical and recreational cannabis community. Our solutions enhance customer service and provider efficiency, including customer loyalty software applications; create producer and retailer opportunities through the distribution of our own retail brands; and assist with marketing and branding for product companies. We do not grow, distribute, or sell cannabis.
We believe there is a trend toward legalizing medical and recreational use of cannabis. As additional states across the nation legalize medical or recreational use and develop regulatory schemes, we believe a commercial cannabis industry will be established. We seek to apply and exploit our knowledge and experience to introduce products for this emerging industry, which continues to encounter resistance from many traditional, integral service providers of loyalty programs, payment methods, wholesale supply, supply management and delivery, and similar items. We believe the resistance or reluctance of others to enter the cannabis industry provides, at least temporarily, a commercial opportunity for us.
Our products serve both medical and recreational growers, dispensers, and customers. Our product development and introduction are focused in Colorado, where both medical and recreational cannabis is permitted under a developing regulatory regime. Our products are also being marketed in Washington (medical and recreational) and California (medical only). We are preparing for future expansion as cannabis for medical or recreational use becomes legalized and regulated in additional states that have ongoing public dialogue and regulatory or legislative consideration regarding legalization, such as California, Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, the District of Columbia, and others. Residents of Oregon, Alaska, and the District of Columbia have voted to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults. We believe that this movement toward legalization of recreational cannabis will continue and may accelerate. In the next 12 months, we are considering operating only in Colorado, California (medical only), Washington, and possibly Oregon, since the Oregon voters recently approved legalization with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission tasked with regulating sales of marijuana.
Principal Products
Since inception, we have developed, refined, and introduced into the cannabis industry the following principal products:
· | BumpUp Rewards is an affiliate-based membership rewards loyalty program designed specifically for the cannabis industry that: |
o | allows for strong social media ties and an electronic solution for providing gifts, points, and discounts to friends and family; |
o | includes an internal control mechanism designed to enhance compliance with the regulatory requirements applicable to individual retail outlets and customers based on applicable state licensing information and customers' locations; and |
o | enables retailers the ability to gain new customers through gifts, retain customers through the affiliate and store-specific points program, and tailor specials and free advertising via the BumpUp Rewards program to an increasingly significant customer marketplace. |
1
We license our customers to use this product and provide updates in consideration of the payment of monthly fees.
· | BumpUp Rewards White-Label Applications is a joint software development and marketing effort with National Concessions Group, Inc., the organization responsible for marketing and branding a cannabis product brand called O.penVAPE. Our product is an advanced version of our BumpUp Rewards application intended to incentivize product and corporate sales organizations through a proprietary points system. |
· | CannaLIMS is a laboratory management information system product focused solely on the cannabis marketplace to assist cannabis laboratories in meeting multiple state and local level regulatory reporting requirements. We license our customers to use this product and provide updates in consideration of the payment of monthly fees. |
Strategic Relationships
To support marketing and delivery of our principal products that we developed as noted above and to access other products and services, we are expanding a network of strategic alliances within the industry to build an array of product and service offerings and to increase use of our distribution channels. Our active strategic relationships, most of which were only recently initiated, include the following:
· | Mile High Brands, Inc.—Under a November 2015 agreement, we acquired 49% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mile High Brands, Inc., and agreed to form a new joint venture, of which we will own a 51% interest and have control, that will seek to commercialize celebrity endorsements and product companies that wish to access the cannabis marketplace. |
· | National Concessions Group, Inc.—Under our December 2015 technology development and joint marketing agreement, we are developing a loyalty product focused on retail brands in the cannabis industry and will jointly market this application to other product manufacturers in the cannabis industry. |
· | LuvBuds, LLC—In December 2015, we acquired 70% of LuvBuds, LLC, which uses its "LuvBuds" brand name to develop and sell novelties for the cannabis industry in both retail consignment kiosks and through online retail and wholesale channels in Colorado. |
· | KiwiTech, LLC—In December 2015, we entered into an agreement with KiwiTech, LLC, to expand, support, and further develop our software products and web and mobile applications. KiwiTech is a unique business incubator providing a combination of mobile technology development solutions and active investment into new and exciting technologies. |
· | Duby, LLC—Beginning with a small a minority interest acquired in December 2015 in Duby, LLC, which has developed a social media application focused on cannabis consumers, we are continuing negotiations for joint marketing and promotion of our respective products. |
· | Green Capital Ventures, Inc.—Under a November 2015 joint marketing and distribution arrangement, we intend to seek commercial partnerships for the Gridiron Cannabis Coalition, an organization dedicated to the advancement of medicinal cannabis as a treatment for brain disease and bodily injuries resulting from playing professional sports. The principals of Green Capital founded the Gridiron Cannabis Coalition. |
2
· | PhytaTech Labs—We have agreed to jointly develop software for a laboratory information management system targeted for cannabis testing facilities and laboratories, based on an early version of our CannaLIMS product. |
Business Strategy
Our primary business objectives are to generate stable revenues and cash flows through the development of vertically integrated distribution centers and to collect and monetize cannabis consumer data. We intend to accomplish these objectives by executing the following key strategies:
· | Develop and market customer loyalty platforms. Expand our marketing relationships to distribute our BumpUp Rewards loyalty platform as a service. We believe customer loyalty is just beginning to take shape in the cannabis industry as it becomes more competitive. Our software loyalty platform, BumpUp Rewards, is currently generating recurring revenues through its sales to retail dispensaries within the cannabis industry. |
· | Rapidly expand our retail brand presence. Generate substantial growth in revenues in LuvBuds and our other branded products through strategic marketing and other initiatives, including the opening of online retail sales channels. |
· | Distribute products into new states. Expand distribution of our core products and services into new regulated cannabis markets as the trend to legalize medicinal and recreational cannabis use continues. |
· | Pursue growth. Pursue opportunities to expand our business by completing strategic acquisitions, establishing new strategic alliances with others, executing internally generated expansion projects, and increasing the use of our existing assets. |

The Offering
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 3,187,015 shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder.
Kodiak Capital, the selling stockholder under this prospectus, is offering for sale up to 3,187,015 shares of our common stock. On December 15, 2015, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital, pursuant to which it agreed to purchase from us up to $1 million in shares of our common stock from time to time until December 31, 2016. Also on December 15, 2015, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak Capital, pursuant to which we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares that may be issued to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Kodiak Capital a commitment note having a principal amount of $50,000, which is payable on or before July 11, 2016. Kodiak Capital is entitled any time after May 15, 2016, subject to the provisions of the note, to convert all or a portion of the principal of the commitment note into shares of our common stock at the conversion price of 50% of the current market price (as defined in the commitment note).
3
We do not have the right to commence any sales to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement until the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct Kodiak Capital to purchase shares of our common stock, but we would be unable to sell shares to it if that purchase would result in its respective beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Except as described in this prospectus, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Kodiak Capital. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement will be equal to 70% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of a put notice to Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares. We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the Purchase Agreement without fee, penalty, or cost upon prior written notice. Kodiak Capital may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
As of January 28, 2016, there were 21,476,045 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, of which 9,561,045 shares were held by nonaffiliates. The Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $1 million in shares of our common stock to Kodiak Capital and 3,187,015 shares of our common stock are being offered under this prospectus. If all of the 3,187,015 shares offered by Kodiak Capital under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of January 28, 2016, such shares would represent 12.9% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 25% of the total number of outstanding shares held by nonaffiliates, in each case as of January 28, 2016. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 3,187,015 shares offered under this prospectus to Kodiak Capital, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Kodiak Capital is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to it under the Purchase Agreement.
Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to Kodiak Capital.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information about these risks contained in this prospectus, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus generally, before deciding to buy our securities. Any of the risks we describe below could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects. The market prices for our securities could decline if one or more of these risks and uncertainties develop into actual events and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. You should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes.
Risks Related to our Business
We are dependent on our banking and merchant relationships.
We are dependent on the banking industry to support the financial functions of our products and services. Similarly, important components of our products and services depend on merchant accounts and relationships, which in turn depend on banking functions. Federal and federally insured state banks currently do not serve the cannabis industry on the stated ground that growing and selling cannabis is illegal under federal law. We cannot assure that our strategies and techniques for designing our products and services to operate effectively and efficiently will not be adversely impacted by the continuing refusal of banks to serve the cannabis industry. A change in banking regulations or a change in the position of the banking industry to permit banks to serve the cannabis industry may increase competition for us, facilitate new entrants into the industry offering products or services similar to those that we offer, or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.
We have recently established strategic alliances that we may be unable to integrate into a cohesive and effective business.
We have recently established several strategic alliances with other firms that we believe have developed, or have the potential to develop, complementary products and services. We have not yet had sufficient time or experience to integrate these components into a cohesive and effective business, and we may be unable to do so. Our efforts may be further complicated by additional relationships not now identified. We have now abandoned or deemphasized earlier strategic relationships and may determine to abandon or deemphasize one or more of the strategic relationships we now believe to be important; in which case, we may be unable to recover related costs previously incurred.
The conduct of third parties may jeopardize our business or legal compliance.
We cannot assure that our systems, protocols, and practices will prevent unauthorized or illegal activities by customers or retailers with whom or which we do business. Our success will depend on our ability to operate consistent with the regulatory and licensing requirements of each state in which we provide products and services, which in turn may depend on our ability to determine the residences of our customers, the licenses held by retailers with which we do business, and the compliance by our customers and retailers with the regulations applicable to them. We cannot assure that the conduct of third parties will not place our legal status or business in jeopardy and, therefore, expose us to legal sanctions and costs, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
6
Our proprietary data systems may be compromised by hackers.
BumpUp Rewards, CannaLIMS, and CannaTrade, as well as other products and services that we may develop in the future, will be based on proprietary software and customer-specific data that we protect by routine measures such as password protection, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, and similar measures. Any unauthorized access to our software or data could materially disrupt our business and result in financial loss and damages to our business reputation.
Our operations would be adversely affected if we operate in states with undefined regulatory oversight or if regulations change.
We are exposed to regulatory uncertainties resulting from significant differences between the regulatory regimes of various states and uncertainties in states with undefined regulatory regimes. Regulations have only recently been adopted and are likely to change, perhaps becoming more restrictive, as states gather regulatory experience. There is little interpretative guidance or staff experience at state regulatory agencies to provide operating guidance. We conduct business exclusively in states that have enacted formal regulatory regimes and codified laws and ordinances in which licensed cannabis-related businesses are allowed to operate. However, we cannot assure that we, or our customers, will be able to ascertain or comply with all applicable requirements.
Because each state and local jurisdiction may have significant differences in its cannabis-related laws and regulations, we cannot assure that even with the advice of legal counsel familiar with the cannabis laws and regulatory program of a particular state, we will be able to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Any change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us. We expect that the disparity between federal and state cannabis legalization and regulation will continue. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute, or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the federal or state governments.
Differences and uncertainties in various state and local laws and ordinances may adversely affect our ability to comply with the laws of each jurisdiction in which we may do business.
We cannot ensure that our systems, protocols, and practices will be timely updated and modified to ensure compliance with the various, diverse, and ever-changing laws and regulatory schemes of the various states and local principalities in which we intend to operate, and failure to do so would materially and adversely affect our financial results and business operations and reputation.
New laws and regulations may be passed that would outlaw our activities.
Due to the rapidly changing rules and regulations in various markets, it is possible that our BumpUp Rewards or CannaLIMS activities could be outlawed in one or more markets or that federal guidelines could be issued that would have a material effect on our strategy and offerings. In addition, it is possible that the U.S. Department of Justice will decide to pursue enforcement actions against producers, sellers, and any person providing ancillary services within the cannabis industry.
The apparent current growing public opinion in support of legalization may turn in support of criminalization.
While public polls continue to trend in support of legalization and decriminalization throughout the country, we cannot guarantee that this trend will continue and that the support will not wane among the public.
7
We are a development-stage company with limited revenues.
We are a development-stage company with limited revenue and do not expect to generate significant revenue unless and until our product portfolio, or part of it, is commercialized. We do not anticipate launching any new products into the market until the first half of 2016, at the earliest. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, and we cannot assure that we will be successful in doing so.
We have received a going concern opinion from our auditors.
We have an accumulated deficit and have had negative cash flows from our operations. Accordingly, we have received a report from our independent auditors in connection with our audited financial statements that includes an explanatory paragraph describing their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may negatively impact our ability to obtain additional funding or funding from external sources on terms attractive to us.
Our future success is largely dependent on our current management.
Our business was built by the vision, dedication, and expertise of our founders Brandon C. Jennewine and Daniel J. Rogers, and our chief executive officer, Michael Tew, is responsible for our day-to-day operations and creative development. Our success is dependent upon the continued efforts of these people. If it became necessary to replace them, it is unlikely new management could be found that would have the same level of knowledge and dedication to our success. The loss of the services of these professionals, especially in the development of future proprietary software, patents, or applications, would adversely affect our business.
Our growth strategy may not be successful.
We intend to expand our operations and marketing base, in large part by establishing and expanding strategic alliances. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the growth of a new business enterprise, particularly one that operates in an emerging and highly competitive industry. The timing and related expenses of expansion may cause our revenues, if any, to fluctuate. The likelihood of our success must be considered in the light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business and the reliance on strategic alliances with others, including uncertainty as to implementation of our strategies and capabilities, market acceptance of our products and services, our operating and marketing methods, expenses, and competition. We may not be successful in our proposed expanded business activities.
We are operating in developing markets, and our products may not be accepted in these markets.
We have conducted limited marketing activities to date. Thus, we have relatively little information on which to estimate our levels of sales, the amount of revenue we will generate, and our operating and other expenses. We cannot assure that we will be successful in our efforts to directly market our products or to develop markets in the manner we contemplate.
There are economic and general risks relating to business.
The success of our activities is subject to risks inherent in business generally, including demand for products and services, general economic conditions, changes in taxes and tax laws, and changes in governmental regulations and policies.
8
Our industry is subject to rapid technological changes that, if we are unable to match or surpass, will adversely affect our competitive position.
Because of the rapid technological development that regularly occurs in the financial payment industry, we must continually devote substantial resources to developing and improving our technology and introducing new product offerings. These efforts and expenditures are necessary to establish market share and, ultimately, to generate revenues. If another company offers better products or technologies, a competitive position or market window opportunity may be lost, and therefore, our revenues or revenue potential may be adversely affected.
Our competitive position, business, and prospects will be impaired if our intellectual property rights do not provide us with the anticipated market protection.
We will rely on our proprietary intellectual property rights to support our competitive position and protect us from unauthorized use of our intellectual property. We believe that our intellectual property rights are valid, enforceable, and valuable. However, third parties may make claims of invalidity respecting our proprietary software and intellectual property, and such claims could give rise to material costs for defense and divert resources away from our other activities. Our proprietary intellectual property is not protected by patents. If we determine to seek and ultimately obtain patents and our patents or patent applications are shown not to be as broad as currently believed or are otherwise challenged such that some or all of the protection is lost, we may suffer adverse effects from the loss of competitive advantage and our ability to offer unique products and technologies. As a result, there would likely be an adverse impact on our business prospects.
We are subject to outside influences beyond our control, including new legislation, that could adversely affect our licensing and implementation activities and have an adverse impact on the execution of our business plan or associated intellectual properties.
Our licensing and implementation activities are subject to numerous risks from outside influences, including new legislation, regulations, and rules related to obtaining or enforcing patents. As an example, the legalization of the right to grow, harvest, and sell cannabis and cannabis-related products is recent, and it is uncertain as to how the industry that is developing around this new legislation will ultimately evolve. If our product offerings are not properly positioned for this developing industry, it could have an adverse impact on our future financial position and hinder our ability to execute our business plan.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability because our common stock is considered a "penny stock."
Our common stock trades on the OTCQB securities market under the symbol "MJTK." The OTCQB is a decentralized market regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in which securities are traded via an electronic quotation system that serves more than 3,000 companies, but provides significantly less liquidity than national market systems such as the NYSE MKT. On the OTCQB, securities are traded by a network of brokers or dealers that carry inventories of securities to facilitate the buy and sell orders of investors, rather than providing the order matchmaking service seen in specialist exchanges. OTCQB securities include national, regional, and foreign equity issues. Companies traded on the OTCQB must be current in their reports filed with the SEC and other regulatory authorities.
9
Our common stock is subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell our common stock to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouses)). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction before the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock.
Additionally, our common stock is subject to the SEC regulations for "penny stock." Penny stock includes any equity security that is not listed on a national exchange and has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The regulations require that before any nonexempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule set forth by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for the common stock. The regulations also require that monthly statements disclosing recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks be sent to holders of penny stock. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.
Our indemnification of our directors and officers may limit the rights of our stockholders.
While our board of directors and officers are generally accountable to our stockholders and us, the liability of our directors and officers to all parties is limited in certain respects under applicable state law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as in effect. Further, we have agreed or may agree to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities not attributable to certain limited circumstances. This limitation of liability and indemnity may limit rights that our stockholders would otherwise have to seek redress against our directors and officers.
Shareholders may suffer substantial dilution related to issued stock options and warrants, convertible notes, and stock grants.
As of January 28, 2016, we had a number of agreements or obligations for the possible issuance of common stock that may result in dilution to investors. These include:
· | 250,000 shares reserved for issuance under a stock grant; |
· | 4,837,000 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of warrants; and |
· | 15,900,775 shares reserved for issuance under our outstanding convertible notes with a weighted average conversion price of $0.52 per share. |
Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of the sale, of the shares of common stock underlying these commitments could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing.
10
Our shares of common stock are thinly traded, so stockholders may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if they need to sell shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.
Our common stock is traded in very low volumes, reflecting the fact that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or nonexistent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or nonexistent, as compared to a seasoned issuer, which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot assure stockholders that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained or that current trading levels will be sustained. We cannot control or materially affect the trading market in our stock.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and consequently, our stockholders' ability to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future even if we generate a profit. Consequently, our stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.
Our stockholders may not recoup all or any portion of their investment upon our dissolution.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, our net remaining proceeds and/or assets, after paying all of our debts and liabilities, will be distributed to the holders of common stock on a pro-rata basis. We cannot assure that we will have available assets to pay to the holders of common stock any amounts upon such a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our company. In this event, our stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.
The sale of our common stock to Kodiak Capital may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Kodiak Capital, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
On December 15, 2015, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital, pursuant to which it committed to purchase up to $1 million of our common stock. We may put shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to Kodiak Capital at our discretion, commencing after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus, until December 31, 2016. We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Kodiak Capital, except that, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we would be unable to sell shares to Kodiak Capital if such purchase would result in its beneficial ownership equaling more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. After Kodiak Capital has acquired our shares, it may sell all, some, or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to Kodiak Capital by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Kodiak Capital, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish.
11
In addition, the per-share purchase price for these shares will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock and will be equal to 70% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of a put notice to Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of these shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
Kodiak Capital will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock.
The common stock to be issued to Kodiak Capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a 30% discount to the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of a put notice to Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares. Kodiak Capital has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Kodiak Capital sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, Kodiak Capital may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.

On January 28, 2016, the closing price per share of our common stock on the OTCQB was $0.23. As of January 28, 2016, we had approximately 64 stockholders of record of our common stock and 21,476,045 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions respecting the common stock when, as, and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future revenues, capital requirements, overall financial condition, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by the selling stockholder in this offering. However, we may receive gross proceeds of up to $1 million under the Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital, assuming that we sell the full amount of our common stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Kodiak Capital under this agreement. See "Plan of Distribution" on page 43 in this prospectus for more information.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement to further develop our products, reduce current liabilities, and fund other general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion in determining how we will allocate the proceeds from any sales to Kodiak Capital.
13
Even if we sell $1 million in shares of our common stock to Kodiak Capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future in order to fully fund all of our planned activities. We may seek additional capital in the private and public equity or debt markets, pursue business development activities and business combinations to continue and expand our operations, respond to competitive pressures, develop new products and services, and to support new strategic partnerships. We are evaluating additional equity financing opportunities on an ongoing basis and may execute them when appropriate. However, we cannot assure that we can consummate such a transaction, or consummate a transaction at favorable pricing.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
We create, develop, and commercialize innovative solutions for the expanding medical and recreational cannabis community. Our solutions enhance customer service and provider efficiency, including customer loyalty software applications; create producer and retailer opportunities through the distribution of our own retail brands; and assist with marketing and branding for product companies. We do not grow, distribute, or sell cannabis.
We began our cannabis industry activity with the organization of a predecessor privately held entity in late 2013 to create, develop, and commercialize innovative solutions to solve customer service and provider problems, create producer and retailer opportunities, build retail customer loyalty, and streamline the connections among the producer, seller, and consumer/patient segments for the growing medical and recreational cannabis community. Since organization, we have focused on raising capital, creating new products, building marketing and distribution capability and channels, and pursuing complementary strategic alliances and acquisitions.
In August 2014, Cannasys, Inc., then called Thermal Tennis, Inc., acquired our predecessor engaged in cannabis industry-related activities as noted above in a transaction recognized as a reverse acquisition of the company by the predecessor private company. This discussion relates to the financial statements of the privately held predecessor entity for all periods before the reverse acquisition.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Sales Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $6,538. Because our inception was October 4, 2013, we had no revenues in 2013.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $12,006. Because our inception was October 4, 2013, we had no cost of goods sold in 2013.
15
Operating Expenses. Compensation expense was $1,012,500 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Compensation expenses reflect stock-based bonus compensation. Because our inception was October 4, 2013, there was no compensation expense in 2013.
Professional fees were $130,642 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Professional fees reflect legal, accounting, and administration fees incurred in 2014 directly related to the merger in 2014 and SEC filing requirements.
Salary and wage expense was $274,057 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Because our inception was October 4, 2013, there was no salary and wage expense in 2013.
General and administrative expense was $125,132 and $32,493 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. General and administrative expense increased as a result of normal operating activities for the full year.
Research and development expense was $178,538. Because our inception was October 4, 2013, there was no research and development expense in 2013.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Sales Revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $76,404, compared to $1,627 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In the prior year period, we began to recognize revenue in July 2014. In the current year period, our revenue has been generated through a combination of software development and consulting services.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $10,018, compared to $8,874 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is in conjunction with our increase in revenue.
Operating Expenses. Professional fees were $155,827 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $61,314 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Professional fees reflect legal, accounting, and administration fees incurred related mostly to the SEC filing requirements.
Salary and wage expense was $572,151 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1,148,747 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Prior-year period's compensation expense consisted of stock-based compensation of $1,012,500, compared to stock-based compensation of $182,000 in the current period. Not considering the stock-based compensation, regular wage expense has increased in the current period.
General and administrative expense was $200,585 for nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $227,560 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2015, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $19,381 of cash, as compared to $525,720 of cash at December 31, 2014. In addition, our stockholders' deficit was $73,277 at September 30, 2015, compared to stockholders' equity of $499,738 at December 31, 2014, an increase in the deficit of $573,015.
Our operations used cash of $706,339 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to using $388,560 in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
16
Financing activities provided cash of $200,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $952,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Our current business expenses average approximately $50,000 per month, excluding capital expenditures specific to new product launches. We continue to focus on reducing our monthly business expenses through cost reductions and operational streamlining. Currently, we do not have enough cash on hand to sustain our business operations and, alongside expected revenue, we expect to access external capital resources in the near future. At the moment, we are seeing increased adoption across our business lines, but we cannot guarantee this will continue.
We anticipate accessing the capital markets through our agreement with Kodiak Capital and other potential sources in order to fund future research and development, as well as expand product offerings to include future versions of products and possible acquisitions of ancillary products and services. We have budgeted $910,000 for capital expenditures and other costs during the next 12 months, consisting of $200,000 for enhanced software development in the coming six months, $200,000 for strategic relationships and acquisitions, $400,000 for debt retirement, $15,000 in remaining license fees under our license agreement with Loyl.Me, $50,000 for marketing efforts, $50,000 for legal expenses, and $85,000 for marketing and distribution expenses. We anticipate that we will fund these costs from proceeds from projected revenues, as well as from the sale of common stock to Kodiak Capital and other potential sources. It is possible that additional external cash will be required during the next 12 months, particularly if we seek to develop new products, need to fund new strategic relationships, or enter new markets not now anticipated or if projected revenues are not realized.
Our efforts are focused on increasing revenue while we explore external funding alternatives as our current cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. Although our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we feel that our revenue potential is sufficient for our business to continue as a going concern. However, in order to expand our product offerings, we expect that we will require additional investments and revenue.
As we continue to develop new products and identify specific commercialization opportunities, we will focus on those product markets and opportunities for which we might be able to get external funding through joint venture agreements, strategic partnerships, or other direct investments.
Going Concern
Our interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
17
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to our December 31, 2014, consolidated financial statements. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We cannot assure that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees ("ASC 505-50"). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.
We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Revenue Recognition
We follow paragraph FASB ASC Topic No. 605-10-S99-1 for revenue recognition. We will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
We follow FASB ASC Topic No. 740-10-30, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income and comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date.
18
We adopted FASB ASC Topic No. 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (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. Currently, there is no guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments: (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt; (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods; (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management's plans; (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans; (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated; and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

BUSINESS
Overview
Our founders Brandon C. Jennewine and Daniel J. Rogers organized our predecessor in 2013 to create, develop, and commercialize innovative solutions to solve customer service and provider problems; create producer and retailer opportunities; build retail customer loyalty; and streamline the connections among the producer, seller, and consumer/patient segments for the growing medical and recreational cannabis community. Our founders had four years' experience in the medical cannabis dispensary business in Colorado between 2009 and 2013. We create and develop tools and resources to serve this industry, but do not grow, distribute, or sell cannabis. We believe there is a trend toward legalizing medical and recreational use of cannabis. As additional states legalize medical or recreational use across the nation and as these states develop regulatory schemes, we believe a commercial cannabis industry will be established. As previous retail dispensers, our founders sought to apply and exploit their knowledge and experience to introduce non-cannabis products to support this emerging industry, which continues to encounter resistance from many traditional integral service providers of loyalty programs, payment methods, wholesale supply organization, supply management and delivery, and similar items. We believe the resistance or reluctance of others to enter the cannabis industry provides at least temporarily a commercial opportunity for us.
Our products serve both medical and recreational growers, dispensers, and customers. Our product development and introduction is focused on Colorado, where both medical and recreational cannabis is permitted under a developing regulatory regime. Our products are also being marketed in Washington (medical and recreational), and we are preparing for future expansion as cannabis for medical or recreational use becomes legalized and regulated in additional states that have ongoing public dialogue and regulatory or legislative consideration regarding legalization, such as California, Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, the District of Columbia, and others. Residents of Oregon, Alaska, and the District of Columbia voted to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults in the recent election. We believe that this movement toward legalization of recreational cannabis will continue and may accelerate. In the next 12 months, we are considering operating in only Colorado, Washington, California (medical only), and possibly Oregon, since the Oregon voters recently approved legalization with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission tasked with regulating sales of marijuana.
Our principal activities to date have been the following:
· | Raising Capital. We have been focused primarily on raising capital to finance our operations and software research and development. |
· | Creating New Products. We have developed new software products, including BumpUp Rewards and CannaLIMS, a laboratory information management systems product. |
· | Marketing and Distribution. We have selectively marketed our core software products to the cannabis industry. |
· | Strategic Relationships. We have focused on establishing complementary strategic relationships and selecting acquisitions in order to facilitate new and complementary product development and distribution. |
The availability, functionality, and payment options of our products are tailored, based on state and local laws and regulations. In June 2015, we began marketing and licensing our CannaLIMS software product, and in July 2015 we began marketing and licensing our BumpUp Reward software product. Both software products are centrally hosted and accessed by the client through web browsers and mobile applications.
20
We believe legal compliance is important in this industry in which we serve directly regulated growers, distributors, retailers, and customers. We check the state licensure status of producers and retailers, regularly monitor disciplinary actions, and routinely update our compliance database. We will stop doing business with firms that are not properly licensed. Our operating systems integrate regulatory compliance and operational accounting. We have in place standard contracts with a verified legal signing authority for our counterparties, as well as end-user licensing agreements, with which to hold accountable the parties we approve to use either system.
Products
BumpUp Rewards
We developed BumpUp Rewards as an affiliate-based membership rewards loyalty program designed specifically for the cannabis industry. An early version of BumpUp Rewards was introduced into the market as CannaCash in July 2014. The BumpUp Rewards application is free for customers and an efficient use of marketing dollars for dispensaries and providers. The BumpUp Rewards application allows for strong social media ties and an electronic solution for providing gifts, points, and discounts to friends and family. BumpUp Rewards includes an internal control mechanism designed to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to individual retail outlets and customers based on applicable state licensing information and customers' locations.
For retail establishments, BumpUp Rewards offers the ability to gain new customers through gifts, retain customers through the affiliate and store-specific points program, and tailor specials and free advertising via the BumpUp Rewards program to an increasingly significant customer marketplace.
BumpUp Rewards White-Label Applications
On December 22, 2015, we entered into a joint software development and marketing agreement with National Concessions Group, Inc., the organization responsible for marketing and branding a cannabis product brand called O.penVAPE. We are jointly developing and marketing an advanced version of our BumpUp Rewards application with functionality intended to incentivize product and corporate sales organizations through a proprietary points system.

CannaLIMS
CannaLIMS is a laboratory management information system product focused solely on the cannabis marketplace. Cannabis laboratories have multiple state and local level regulatory reporting requirements. We license our CannaLIMS system to customers, who access the software through web browsers and mobile applications, for recurring license fees. We have currently launched this product into the market and have secured new recurring revenue clientele. As with other software products we license, we are continuously making product improvements that we provide to existing users and new customers and are actively marketing in the laboratory sector of the industry.
Marketing
We strive to integrate our marketing and sales strategies so we minimize our user acquisition costs for our software products we license while maximizing the distribution of our branded products businesses. We plan to gain scale through the implementation of social media, search-engine optimization, and web-based marketing. Also, we will continue to broaden the products and services we offer through our established marketing channels. We market all of our products within regulatory constraints.
21
We incurred $200,585 in marketing, selling, general, and administrative costs during the first nine months of 2015 and $66,300 in product development expense. We anticipate incurring approximately $250,000 in total marketing expense in 2016 as we look to achieve scale and cross marketing opportunities throughout our business lines.
We cannot assure that we will be able to attain any of the above operational goals or that we will be able to obtain funding that may be required to support such level of operations.

Competition
The current market for cannabis-related technology is highly fragmented because of the new emergence of the industry, which is continuously evolving as states in addition to Colorado, Washington, California, and Oregon implement new laws allowing production and sale of medical or recreational cannabis. We believe the primary competition is currently store-specific loyalty programs, marketing outreach, and point-of-sale systems for the BumpUp Rewards product. Although cannabis is illegal under federal law, we believe there is popular demand for cannabis, and do not believe that prospective customers are generally deterred from doing business with a company because of fears of federal enforcement of laws prohibiting the sale or possession of medical or recreational cannabis. As demonstrated by the table of state cannabis regulations below, the number of states enacting safe access to cannabis laws continues to increase.
Government Regulations
We intend to operate only in states that have legalized various aspects of medical or recreational use of cannabis and that have established laws and regulations governing the operations of their respective licensees. We do not produce, transport, process, or sell cannabis, but only provide the cannabis-related industry with ancillary technology programs in accordance with the state laws specific to which it operates.
Although we do not intend to cultivate, process, possess, distribute, or sale cannabis or cannabis products, we and our cannabis industry-related products are possibly subject to a number of federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations directly and indirectly regulating the cannabis industry conduct through financial and other regulations, such as the anti-money laundering provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and provisions under the jurisdiction of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and others.
Federally insured and regulated financial institutions face conflicting regulatory requirements that treat the cannabis industry as illegal under federal law even when it is permitted under some state laws. However, 23 states plus the District of Columbia allow medical cannabis, and the issue is further complicated with Washington and Colorado legalizing recreational use. Initially, when Colorado legalized and regulated medical and recreational cannabis, federally insured and regulated bodies and other financial institutions refused cannabis business source deposits and other business. Currently, given FinCEN's recent guidance released on February 14, 2014, financial institutions may provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their BSA obligations. FinCEN's guidance is discussed in greater detail below.
U.S. Controlled Substances Act
The cannabis industry is regulated by the federal, state, and local governments. Regulation varies from state to state. Federally, cannabis is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, U.S.C. Section 811 (CSA), which generally means that Congress has determined that cannabis is a dangerous drug and that the cultivation, process, distribution, and sale of cannabis and cannabis products are serious crimes. The CSA does not distinguish between medical and recreational use of cannabis; all uses are prohibited. On the other hand, several states have legalized various aspects of cannabis process and distribution, although such activities are subject to stringent state licensing and regulations. In many states, a clear, continuing, unresolved conflict exists between federal and state laws. In addition to the complex web of federal and state regulations, in response to regulatory concerns, the banking and financial services industry has created stringent barriers to allowing cannabis producers and retailers to have normal banking relationships.
24
The federal government formally opposes the use of medical and recreational cannabis. Although many states have chosen to enact rules and regulations permitting the use of medical cannabis for their citizens under a state-approved medical cannabis program, cannabis continues to be illegal under federal law. The state medical cannabis programs provide protection from state criminal prosecution for patients and primary caregivers who are qualified to participate in the program and are in compliance with the regulations governing the program, but provide no protection from federal prosecution for violation of the CSA.
State Regulation
In November 2012, Colorado residents voted in favor of Amendment 64, an initiative ballot measure that allowed for the "personal use and regulation of marijuana" in Colorado. The initiative, enacted as Article 18, Sec. 16 of the Colorado State Constitution and implemented on January 1, 2014, allows "recreational use" by adults age 21 and older and authorizes Colorado to regulate commercial cultivation, process, and sale of cannabis. Similarly, in November 2012, the residents of Washington voted in favor of Initiative 502, which allows for "recreational use" by adults age 21 and older and authorizes Washington to regulate commercial cultivation, process, and sale of cannabis.
Although Colorado and Washington have enacted voter-initiated measures to allow for the personal use of small amounts of cannabis by its citizens, both states are clear to remind their citizens that cannabis is currently illegal under federal law and classified as a Class I Controlled Substance.
There are several states with initiatives for state medical cannabis programs pending on the ballot for upcoming elections, while other states move forward through the legislative process. The following table reflects the current status of cannabis regulations:

Federal Efforts to Accommodate State Legislation
On February 14, 2014, FinCEN issued guidance under the BSA relating to FinCEN's and the FDIC's expectations regarding BSA compliance for cannabis-related businesses. The FinCEN guidance was issued in light of recent state initiatives to legalize certain cannabis-related activity and the related guidance by the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") concerning cannabis-related enforcement priorities as outlined in the "Ogden Memo" (October 19, 2009) and the "Cole Memos" (August 29, 2013 and February 14, 2014). As discussed in more detail below, the Ogden Memo and Cole Memos identified the eight priorities for enforcing the CSA against cannabis-related conduct.
The Ogden Memo issued by the DOJ on October 19, 2009, provides clarification and guidance in states that have enacted laws authorizing the medical use of cannabis. The Ogden Memo states: "Rather than developing different guidelines for every possible variant of state and local law, this memorandum provides uniform guidance to focus federal investigations and prosecutions in these states on core federal enforcement priorities."
The memorandum also states that the prosecution of significant traffickers of illegal drugs, including cannabis, and the disruption of illegal drug manufacturing and trafficking networks continues to be a core priority in the department's efforts against narcotics and dangerous drugs, and the department's investigative and prosecutorial resources should be directed toward these objectives, and as a general matter, pursuit of these priorities should not focus federal resources in states on individuals whose actions are in clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws. However, prosecution of commercial enterprises that unlawfully market and sell cannabis for profit continues to be an enforcement priority of the department. The DOJ believes claims of compliance with state or local law may mask operations inconsistent with the terms, conditions, or purposes of those laws, and federal law enforcement should not be deterred by such assertions when otherwise pursuing the department's core enforcement priorities. The Ogden Memo then lists the eight priorities of enforcement set forth below. When any of the following characteristics are present, the conduct will not be in clear and unambiguous compliance with applicable state law and may indicate illegal drug trafficking activity of potential federal interest:
● | distribution to minors; |
● | revenue from the sale of cannabis going to criminal enterprise, gangs, and cartels; |
● | the diversion of cannabis from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states; |
● | state-authorized cannabis activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity; |
● | violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of cannabis; |
● | drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with cannabis use; |
● | the growing of cannabis on public lands and the attendant public safety and environmental dangers posed by cannabis production on public lands; and |
· | cannabis possession or use on federal property. |
31
The first Cole Memo issued June 29, 2011, seeks to clarify and provide guidance in response to inquiries from state and local governments seeking guidance about the DOJ's position on the enforcement of the CSA in jurisdictions that have under consideration or implemented legislation that would sanction and regulate the commercial cultivation and distribution of cannabis. This Cole Memo reinforces the Ogden Memo that the DOJ's view "of the efficient use of limited federal resources" has not changed. However, this Cole Memo also makes it clear that the Ogden Memo was never intended to shield activities from federal enforcement action and prosecution, even when those activities purport to comply with state law. Persons who are in the business of cultivating, selling, or distributing cannabis, and those who knowingly facilitate such activities, are in violation of the CSA regardless of state law, and those engaged in transactions involving the proceeds of such an activity may also be in violation of federal money-laundering statutes and other federal financial laws. The second Cole Memo dated February 14, 2014, for the most part reiterates the government's position outlined in the first Cole Memo as well as tying in FinCEN's position as outlined in its guidance of the same date.
The FinCEN guidance clarifies how banks can offer services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their BSA reporting obligations by filing suspicious activity reports (SARs) and provides three categories of SAR filings for cannabis-related business: "marijuana limited," "marijuana priority," and "marijuana termination." If a financial institution provides financial services to a cannabis-related business that it reasonably believes, based on its customer due diligence review, does not implicate one of the Cole Memos priorities or violate state law, it should file a "marijuana limited" SAR. Since the eight priorities of the Cole Memos principally deal with the illegal cultivation and distribution of cannabis and we do not engage in these activities, we anticipate that financial institutions providing financial services to us will file, if deemed required, "marijuana limited" SARs relating to our activities. In addition to our compliance with state laws and regulations, we will seek to meet FinCEN's guidance to the extent that it indirectly affects our business, through our systems, procedures, and protocols to review customer licensing and identification procedures of customers and retail customers. Furthermore, we will, to the extent practicable as an ancillary technology company, not do business with companies that we believe may violate one or more of the eight priorities of the Cole Memos.
FinCEN guidance expanded on the "know your customer" guidelines and clarified how financial institutions can provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their BSA obligations and stated:
In assessing the risk of providing services to a marijuana-related business, a financial institution should conduct customer due diligence that includes: (i) verifying with the appropriate state authorities whether the business is duly licensed and registered; (ii) reviewing the license application (and related documentation) submitted by the business for obtaining a state license to operate its marijuana-related business; (iii) requesting from state licensing and enforcement authorities available information about the business and related parties; (iv) developing an understanding of the normal and expected activity for the business, including the types of products to be sold and the type of customers to be served (e.g., medical versus recreational customers); (v) ongoing monitoring of publicly available sources for adverse information about the business and related parties; (vi) ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity, including for any of the red flags described in this guidance; and (vii) refreshing information obtained as part of customer due diligence on a periodic basis and commensurate with the risk. With respect to information regarding state licensure obtained in connection with such customer due diligence, a financial institution may reasonably rely on the accuracy of information provided by state licensing authorities, where states make such information available.
While we are not by definition considered a "financial institution," we do and will continue to follow the above protocols of knowing our customers, validating each cannabis-related business through our due diligence review of the vendor itself, as well as verifying each vender's current licensure with the respective state regulatory agency. This monitoring will be done at the onset of the business relationship as well as periodically throughout the business relationship.

Our Compliance Strategy
We have established business and compliance protocols that we monitor regularly to assure compliance with state-specific laws and regulations. We submitted our business and compliance plan as part of our Colorado Department of Revenue Marijuana Enforcement Division Vendor Registration Application, and on September 2, 2014, were approved as a registered vendor by the state of Colorado.
We closely monitor evolving state and local laws, rules, and regulations and banking regulations. We design our products in accordance with state and local regulations and banking requirements. We seek to offer services only to companies that are professionally operated and properly licensed in accordance with state and local laws. Changes in such laws, rules, and regulations, or the recall of any state or local legislation, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
We rely on the experience and knowledge of our two founders, Brandon C. Jennewine and Daniel J. Rogers, who have previously been owners of state-licensed cannabis-related businesses in Colorado and are familiar with Colorado's state laws and regulatory scheme and have working experience with regulatory personnel. We also retain regulatory legal counsel who focus their practice on cannabis law to assure current knowledge of and compliance with ongoing changes in rules and regulations. In addition, we have designed technological and administrative programs and protocols to assure ongoing compliance. For BumpUp Rewards and other products for retail customers, we document that the customers are age 21 or older. Our technology will be available only in states that have cannabis-related regulated businesses.
We rely on our technology infrastructure and due diligence reviews to assure our own compliance with state laws, as documented in our systems. We also rely on our systems and procedures to assure that we deal with properly licensed growers, processors, and retailers, and sell to only qualified buyers meeting identification requirements. We cannot assure that our interstate activities will not attract federal regulatory scrutiny as additional states formalize their safe access to cannabis laws and we expand our business on a state-by-state basis.
We are working only with retailers of medical or recreational sellers that are verified, through lists provided by state or local regulatory agencies, to be in good standing and allowed to conduct business in their respective states.
In Colorado and Washington, an individual is required to physically provide a valid, government-issued identification to verify he is age 21 or older to access a regulated store or retailer for either medical or recreational cannabis. The retail facility is required by state rules to have on its premises specific cameras that have resolution suitable to see the identification process to ensure that the retail-cannabis facility is validating the identification. The individual verification is repeated every time a person enters a facility, irrespective of whether the individual is personally known to the operator or has previously visited the dispensary. The cost of maintaining identification compliance is borne by the state-licensed retailer and is not our expense. Our costs of maintaining our compliance systems and protocols are considered a regular operating expense that is built into our product pricing.
Our internal compliance review of both our operating protocols and technology and the data collected are critical aspects of our compliance effort in providing technology products to only compliant operators and persons age 21 or older in states that have enacted some form of safe-access laws to cannabis. For example, we believe that cannabis-related businesses in Colorado will continue to be compliant in not selling cannabis products to underage persons–one of the Cole Memos' eight priorities.

Possible Changes to Federal View
Although the DOJ has stated in the Ogden Memo and Cole Memos that it is not an efficient use of limited resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis, there is no guarantee that the DOJ's position will not change regarding the low-priority enforcement of federal laws, including the CSA, or that any future administration would not change this policy and decide to strongly enforce the federal laws.
In light of the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Gonzales v. Raich, under the commerce clause of the constitution, Congress may pass laws to criminalize the production and use of home-grown cannabis even where states have approved its use for medicinal purposes, which leads to the conclusion that the CSA may preempt state laws relating to any cannabis-related activity. Any such change in the federal enforcement program of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to our business. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute, or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the federal or state governments.
Should the U.S. Supreme Court rule to invalidate safe access to cannabis laws in more than 20 states and the District of Columbia, our operations would be adversely affected. However, if this should occur, we will repurpose our technology to non-cannabis-related businesses. We could refocus our efforts to launch and commercialize ExchangeHemp in the industrial hemp industry, a non-cannabis-related business, and facilitate a trading platform for buyers and sellers of commercial hemp. We could also repurpose CannaTrade's technology to facilitate the matching of buyers and sellers of commercial equipment, such as industrial lighting and other equipment for agriculture. We could also repurpose our CannaLIMS software for the pharmaceutical industry, where LIMS software is prevalent. We believe the technology for BumpUp Rewards can be repurposed and used as a loyalty program for small businesses and region-specific businesses to strengthen and support local and small businesses by targeting and marketing to local consumers.
Proprietary Technology
Our BumpUp Rewards and CannaLIMS products are based on proprietary software developed for us by our officers and third-party contractors. We do not believe that any of our current products, or currently foreseen future products, contain or will contain features that are patentable. Instead, we rely on a proprietary confidentiality and nondisclosure discipline to protect our products. However, if future proprietary software developed by our officers contains patentable features, we will apply for and obtain patent protection for our products.
Research and Development
We currently offer two technology products: BumpUp Rewards (as a stand-alone product and as a white-label product) and CannaLIMS. We will remain focused on developing technologies for our industry, aimed at specific solutions for industry needs, including compliance with state and local regulation. We seek product and business opportunities in order to formulate and develop technology to meet diverse regulatory requirements across all of our markets. Furthermore, we regularly investigate processes for improving our technology products and identifying new technologies to serve the industry.
Through our internal research and development efforts and our relationships with industry operators and organizations, we will strive to provide evolving and effective technology solutions. Our plans for our research and development activities include developing technology products that are new to the industry, updating existing technologies to keep them current with the latest laws and regulations, and adapting existing technologies to enter new states that implement cannabis laws. Going forward, we intend to increase our spending and resources for technology research and development to the extent of our limited resources.

Employees
As of December 31, 2015, we employed two management-level personnel, both of whom are executive officers. We may require additional employees in the future. There is intense competition for capable, experienced personnel, and we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain new qualified employees when required. We believe our relations with our employees are good.
Corporate History
We were formerly known as Thermal Tennis, Inc., a publicly held Nevada corporation. Thermal Tennis was formed as a Nevada corporation on August 25, 1999, committed to the growth of tennis through its tennis management system, which included creative ways to recruit new members into tennis lessons, the implementation of more effective tennis teaching methods, better use of tournaments to create public participation and involvement, and development of additional ways to create revenue for Thermal Tennis and the tennis facility being managed. From inception to March 2013, Thermal Tennis had managed the tennis operations at one athletic club and ran one summer tennis program at a high school. After cancellation of the contract at the athletic club in March 2013, Thermal Tennis continued to pursue its business activities in limited geographical areas.
On August 15, 2014, Thermal Tennis entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to combine its business and activities with CannaSys, Inc., a privately held Colorado corporation ("CannaSys-Colorado") focused on providing services to the cannabis industry (the "Merger"). Under the terms of the merger agreement, our wholly owned subsidiary formed to effectuate the Merger was merged with and into CannaSys-Colorado, the surviving entity, which then became our wholly owned subsidiary. By operation of the Merger, which was effective August 15, 2014, all of the CannaSys-Colorado outstanding common stock was converted into a total of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, which constituted 57.70% of our total issued and outstanding common stock. Our shareholders before the merger retained an aggregate of 4,398,088 shares of common stock. At that time, we had no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock.
In connection with the closing of the Merger and after meeting the requirements of the Exchange Act, Thermal Tennis changed its name to CannaSys, Inc. on November 12, 2014. We continue our operations through our wholly owned subsidiary with the same name.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms of the following transactions between related parties were not determined as a result of arm's-length negotiations.
As of December 31, 2014, we owed $1,320 for cash advances to the former president of our predecessor, Thermal Tennis. The advance was due on demand and non-interest-bearing. The advance was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Effective July 1, 2015, we hired Michael A. Tew as our new chief executive officer, secretary, and interim chief financial officer. Mr. Tew was also appointed to serve as a member of our board of directors.
Effective July 1, 2015, Brandon C. Jennewine resigned as our chief executive officer and was hired to serve as our chief technical officer and chief operations officer and will continue to be the chairman of our board of directors.

On November 11, 2015, we agreed to issue 10 million shares of our common stock for 10 million shares of Mile High Brands, Inc. common stock, equivalent to approximately 49% of its outstanding common stock after the transaction.

In addition to the share exchange, we also agreed to form a new joint venture of which we shall own 51% and have control.

We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval, or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. Our directors will continue to approve any related-party transaction.

THE EQUITY PURCHASE TRANSACTION
General
On December 15, 2015, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak Capital. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Kodiak Capital has agreed to purchase from us up to $1 million in aggregate purchase price of our common stock from time to time, until December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares that we estimate may be issued to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement.
Purchase of Shares under the Purchase Agreement
We do not have the right to commence any sales to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement until the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct, by delivery of a put notice, Kodiak Capital to purchase shares of our common stock. The purchase price per share will be equal to 70% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of a put notice to Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares. There is no minimum amount that we may require Kodiak Capital to purchase at any one time. The closing of the sale of the shares will occur on the sixth trading day following our delivery of the put notice to Kodiak Capital to purchase the shares.
In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Kodiak Capital a commitment $50,000 promissory note payable on July 11, 2016. Kodiak is entitled any time after May 15, 2016, subject to the provisions of the note, to convert all or a portion of the principal of the commitment note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 50% of the current market price as defined in the commitment note.
Other than as set forth above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Kodiak Capital.
Conditions to Sales
Under the Purchase Agreement, the following conditions must be satisfied in order for us to sell shares of our common stock to Kodiak Capital:
· | The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and any amendment or supplement thereto, must be effective for the sale by Kodiak Capital of the shares to be purchased by Kodiak Capital, and: (i) neither we nor Kodiak Capital has received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop order respecting the registration statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the registration statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so; and (ii) there is no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness of the registration statement or this prospectus. |
· | Our representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement must be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties specifically made as of a particular date), except for any conditions that have temporarily caused any representations or warranties to be incorrect and which have been corrected with no continuing impairment to us or Kodiak Capital. |
· | We have performed in all material respects all covenants, agreements, and conditions required by the Purchase Agreement to be performed, satisfied, or complied with by us. |
40
· | No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling, or injunction has been enacted, entered, promulgated, or adopted by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and no proceeding has been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or materially adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. |
· | The trading of our common stock has not been suspended by the SEC, the principal trading market for our common stock, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., and our common stock has been approved for listing or quotation on and has not been delisted from such principal market. |
· | The number of shares of our common stock to be purchased by Kodiak Capital at a particular closing may not exceed the number of shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by Kodiak Capital, would result in it owning more than 9.99% of all of our outstanding common stock. |
· | We have no knowledge of any event more likely than not to have the effect of causing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to be suspended or otherwise ineffective. |
Our Termination Rights
We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us, to give notice to Kodiak Capital to terminate the Purchase Agreement.
No Short-Selling by Kodiak Capital
Kodiak Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its respective affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling of our common stock during any time before the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders
All shares of common stock registered in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period commencing on the date that the registration statement, including this prospectus, becomes effective through December 31, 2016. The sale by Kodiak Capital of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Kodiak Capital may ultimately purchase all, some, or none of the shares of common stock not yet issued but registered in this offering. If we sell these shares to Kodiak Capital, it may sell all, some, or none of such shares. Therefore, sales to Kodiak Capital by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with Kodiak Capital may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price at which we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Kodiak Capital, and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Kodiak Capital to purchase up to $1 million of our common stock. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to Kodiak Capital, we may be authorized to issue and sell to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by Kodiak Capital under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct Kodiak Capital to purchase under the Purchase Agreement.

(1) | Although the Purchase Agreement with Kodiak Capital provides that we may sell up to $1 million in our common stock in the aggregate, we are registering 3,187,015 shares for resale by Kodiak Capital under this prospectus, which may or may not cover all the shares we ultimately sell to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the purchase price per share. As a result, we have included in this column only those shares that we are registering in this offering. |
(2) | The denominator is based on 21,476,045 shares outstanding as of January 28, 2016, and is adjusted to include the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column that we would have sold to Kodiak Capital at the applicable assumed purchase price per share. The numerator is based on the number of shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement at the corresponding assumed volume-weighted trading price and the calculated purchase price set forth in the preceding columns. The number of shares in such column does not include shares that may be issued to Kodiak Capital under the Purchase Agreement that are not registered in this offering. |
(3) | $0.160 is 70% of $0.23, the closing price of the common stock on January 28, 2016. |
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus relates to the possible resale of up to 3,187,015 shares of common stock that may be issued to Kodiak Capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the agreements executed in connection with the selling stockholder's agreement to purchase the shares.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into with Kodiak Capital on December 15, 2015, concurrently with our execution of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to provide certain registration rights respecting sales by Kodiak Capital of the shares of our common stock that may be issued to it under the Purchase Agreement. See the description under the heading "The Equity Purchase Transactions" for more information about the Purchase Agreement.
The selling stockholder may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we have sold or may sell to it. The selling stockholder may sell some, all, or none of its shares. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares.
42
The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares that it may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder, and reflects its holdings as of January 28, 2016. Except as described herein, neither the selling stockholder nor any of its respective affiliates has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. As used in this prospectus, the term "selling stockholder" includes the selling stockholder and any of its respective donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale-related transfer. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The percentage of shares beneficially owned before the offering is based on 21,476,045 shares of our common stock actually outstanding as of January 28, 2016:

* | Less than 1% |
(1) | Based on 21,476,045 outstanding shares of our common stock as of January 28, 2016. Although we may, at our discretion, elect to issue to Kodiak Capital up to an aggregate amount of $1 million in our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, such shares are not included in determining the percentage of shares beneficially owned before this offering. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Kodiak Capital is an "underwriter," within the meaning of the Securities Act. The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, donees, assignees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | on the OTCQB; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | through agreement between a broker-dealer and the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share; |
43
· | a combination of any of these methods of sale; and |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
After the effective date of the registration statement, Kodiak Capital has agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling of our common stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.
Broker-dealers engaged by selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
Kodiak Capital is an "underwriter," within the meaning of Section 2(11) the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
As used in this prospectus, "selling stockholder" includes donees, pledges, transferees, or other successors-in-interest that are selling shares they received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder named in this prospectus as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution, or other non-sale-related transfer.
The selling stockholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling stockholder or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities respecting those securities for a specified period of time before the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If any of the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether the selling stockholder will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.
We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the shares being offered under this prospectus. However, each selling security holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions, and similar selling expenses it incurs.
44
The selling stockholder and the issuer have agreed to indemnify one another against certain losses, damages, and liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling stockholder has been advised to ensure that any brokers, dealers, or agents effecting transactions on its behalf are registered to sell securities in all 50 states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees, and discounts of brokers, dealers, and agents. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $70,000. The estimated offering expenses consist of: an SEC registration fee of $74, transfer agent/registrar of $2,000, accounting fees of $12,500, legal fees of $50,000, printing and miscellaneous expenses of $5,426. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder.
The selling stockholder should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the selling stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling stockholder is distributing shares covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholder has been advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above respecting this Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the SEC.
State Securities Restrictions on Resale
If selling stockholder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement in the United States, the selling stockholder will also need to comply with state securities laws with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and nonfinancial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor's. The broker for the selling stockholder will be able to advise the selling stockholder in which states our common stock is exempt from registration with that state for secondary sales.
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from selling stockholder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with state securities laws regarding secondary sales.
When the registration statement becomes effective, and the selling stockholder indicates in which states it desires to sell its shares, we will be able to identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption therefrom.
45
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize us to issue 80,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, none of which is currently outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the shares of outstanding common stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any persons to the board of directors. Our bylaws provide that a majority of our issued and outstanding shares constitutes a quorum for shareholders' meetings, except respecting certain matters for which a greater percentage quorum is required by statute or the bylaws.
Our shareholders have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or other securities. The common stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of our liquidation, the shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may, from time to time, declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We seek growth and expansion of our business through the reinvestment of profits, if any, and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Preferred Stock
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights or restrictions, including the right to issue convertible securities with no limitations on conversion, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock, substantially dilute a common stockholder's interest, and depress the price of our common stock.
Authority to Issue Stock
The board of directors has the authority to issue the authorized but unissued shares of common stock without action by the stockholders. The issuance of such shares would reduce the percentage ownership held by current shareholders.

EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014, and for the year in the period ended December 31, 2014, included in this Form S-1 have been so included in reliance upon the report of HJ & Associates, LLC, ("HJ"), an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as an expert in auditing and accounting.
On April 6, 2015, our board of directors approved the engagement of BF Borgers CPA, PC, Lakewood, Colorado, as independent accountant and auditor to report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. This action effectively dismissed HJ as our independent registered public accounting firm as of April 6, 2015.
In connection with our most recent fiscal year audit and any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of HJ, there were no disagreements with HJ or reportable events on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. In connection with its audit of our 2014 financial statements, HJ noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operations that it considered to be material weaknesses.
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013, and for the year in the period ended December 31, 2013, included in this Form S-1 have been so included in reliance upon the report of B F Borgers CPA PC, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as an expert in auditing and accounting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
CannaSys, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CannaSys, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CannaSys, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its total liabilities exceed its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CANNASYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
We were organized as a Nevada corporation on August 25, 1999. On August 15, 2014, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to combine our business and activities with CannaSys, Inc., a privately held Colorado corporation focused on providing services to the cannabis industry (“CannaSys-Colorado”), into a single entity (the “Merger”). CannaSys-Colorado was originally formed on October 4, 2013, as a limited liability company, and converted to a corporation on June 26, 2014. Under the terms of the merger agreement, our wholly owned subsidiary formed to effectuate the Merger was merged with and into CannaSys-Colorado, the surviving entity, which then became our wholly owned subsidiary. By operation of the Merger, which was effective August 15, 2014, all of the CannaSys-Colorado outstanding common stock was converted into a total of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, which constitutes 57.70% of our total issued and outstanding common stock. Our shareholders prior to the merger retained an aggregate of 4,398,088 shares of common stock. We had no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock.
Due to the CannaSys-Colorado shareholders controlling us after the Merger, CannaSys-Colorado was considered the accounting acquirer. The transaction was therefore recognized as a reverse acquisition of the company by CannaSys-Colorado. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are those of CannaSys-Colorado for all periods prior to the Merger.
In connection with the closing of the Merger and after meeting the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on November 12, 2014, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State that: (i) changed our name to CannaSys, Inc.; (ii) increased our authorized capital stock to 80,000,000 shares, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock; (iii) authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock; and (iv) made other modernizing, nonmaterial changes to our articles of incorporation. Changing the corporate name to CannaSys, Inc. was a condition to the Merger transaction. The name change better reflects the nature of our principal business operations and it became effective in the OTC market on December 2, 2015, when FINRA announced the name change. We have also received a new CUSIP number and our trading symbol was changed to “MJTK.”
Nature of Business
We provide technology services in the ancillary space of the cannabis industry. We are a technology company and we do not produce, sell, or handle in any manner cannabis products.
As the current cannabis industry grows and gains momentum around the country, technology needs for the industry have been largely underserved. Our focus on this niche element of the industry creates many efficient and profitable tools for both industry owners and consumers.
Our business consists of three product concepts—CannaTrade, CannaCash, and CannAssist—that together serve the entire cannabis industry from grower-wholesaler to end-user.
CannaTrade is a market-style, wholesale cannabis matching system designed to serve legal medical and recreational cannabis markets. CannaTrade proposes to bring the industry a secure, efficient, real-time wholesale product supply exchange and inventory management solution for connecting licensed wholesale buyers and sellers of all types of cannabis and non-cannabis products, while providing business logic to enhance governmental and regulatory compliance frameworks.
CannaCash is an affiliate-based membership rewards loyalty program designed specifically for the cannabis industry. An early version of CannaCash was introduced to the market in July 2014. The CannaCash points program and future gift-card/prepaid-card programs will be free for all cannabis customers and affordable for dispensaries and providers. CannaCash gift cards will be available in multiple denominations and will be redeemable at participating CannaCash locations. The CannaCash gift mechanism will allow for strong social media ties and an electronic solution for providing gift cards and other products to friends and family. CannaCash includes an internal control mechanism designed to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to individual retail outlets and customers based on applicable state licensing information and customers’ addresses.
F-8
CannAssist will fulfill the technology needs that are specific to the cannabis industry. With technicians licensed and approved by the state to operate in restricted areas, CannAssist will serve the needs of cannabis business to install, update, and maintain critical systems for dispensaries, growers, and processors of cannabis. From video surveillance installation and maintenance to network security and support, CannAssist serves a wide range of technology challenges unique to the industry.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have adopted a December 31 year end.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control, and preventing and detecting fraud. Our system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that: (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) valid transactions are recorded; and (3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements that present fairly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the respective periods being presented.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of CannaSys-Colorado, the accounting acquirer, from the date of its inception on October 4, 2013, and refer to the consolidated entity after taking the Merger transaction into effect. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP permits management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, and we do not use derivative instruments.
F-9
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
- Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2:Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
- Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Equipment 3 years
Furniture and fixtures 3 years
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that we incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.
We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Revenue Recognition
We follow paragraph ASC 605-10-S99-1 for revenue recognition. We will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, clarifying which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the FASB determined that it could make them more operable and cost-effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under International Financing Reporting Standards. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Income Taxes
We follow ASC 740-10-30, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We adopted ASC 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) with regard to uncertainty income taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,758,830 at December 31, 2014, had a net loss of $1,726,337, and used net cash of $677,385 in operating activities for year ended December 31, 2014. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
F-11
While we are attempting to increase operations and revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt and equity financing. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate increased revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate increased revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate increased revenues.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment, stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation at December 31, consisted of the following:
December 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||||||
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | $ | 8,403 | $ | - | ||||

Fixed assets, net | $ | 7,987 | $ | - |
Depreciation expense
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $416 and $0, respectively.
NOTE 5 – SOFTWARE LICENSE
Effective February 12, 2015, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Loyl.Me, an established provider of automated marketing and customer relationship management software. The licensing agreement allows us the opportunity for perpetual and exclusive rights and ability to provide the cannabis community a convenient, cost-effective, and streamlined technology that is widely used in the non-cannabis industry. The technology is being branded as “CannaCash BumpUp.” The agreement requires six installment payments of $25,000 each. The first $25,000 was paid in October 2014 in conjunction with the signing of a letter of intent.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold 3,960,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $109,988.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold 2,040,000 shares of common stock to B44 LLC for total cash proceeds of $200,000.
During the third quarter, we issued 675,000 share of common stock for Compensation of $1,012,500.

During the fourth quarter, we issued 645,667 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $387,400.
In connection with the Merger consummated on or about August 15, 2014, we issued a total of 6,000,000 unregistered shares of common stock to a total of 17 persons in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CannaSys-Colorado. Our shareholders prior to the merger retained an aggregate of 2,723,088 shares of common stock, eliminating 1,601,912 shares in consolidation. The Merger was consummated in order to raise capital for the Company to allow it to deliver its products to market.
NOTE 9 – INCOME TAX
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Deferred Tax Assets: | ||||||||
NOL Carryover | $ | 188,900 | $ | - | ||||
Related-party accrual | 500 | - | ||||||
Depreciation | 1,500 | - | ||||||
Deferred tax liabilities: | ||||||||
Less valuation allowance | (190,900 | ) | - | |||||
Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - |
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the period ended December 31, due to the following:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Book Income (loss) | $ | (583,800 | ) | $ | - | |||
Meals and entertainment | 1,000 | - | ||||||
Depreciation | (1,500 | ) | - | |||||
Other nondeductible expenses | 394,900 | - | ||||||
Related party accruals | 500 | - | ||||||
Valuation allowance | 188,900 | - | ||||||
$ | - | $ | - |
F-13
At December 31, 2014, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $484,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through the year 2033. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2014, financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Previous to June 26, 2014, the Company was a Limited Liability Company treated as a pass through entity.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective February 12, 2015, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Loyl.Me, an established provider of automated marketing and customer relationship management software. The licensing agreement allows us the opportunity for perpetual and exclusive rights and ability to provide the cannabis community a convenient, cost-effective, and streamlined technology that is widely used in the non-cannabis industry. The agreement requires six installment payments of $25,000 and the issuance of common stock and 8% of revenue from the use of the licensed technology.
On February 9, 2015, we authorized the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock per the terms of the licensing agreement with Loyl.Me.

CANNASYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
September 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
We were organized as a Nevada corporation on August 25, 1999. On August 15, 2014, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to combine our business and activities with CannaSys, Inc., a privately held Colorado corporation focused on providing services to the cannabis industry (“CannaSys-Colorado”), into a single entity (the “Merger”). CannaSys-Colorado was originally formed on October 4, 2013, as a limited liability company, and converted to a corporation on June 26, 2014. Under the terms of the merger agreement, our wholly owned subsidiary formed to effectuate the Merger was merged with and into CannaSys-Colorado, the surviving entity, which then became our wholly owned subsidiary. By operation of the Merger, which was effective August 15, 2014, all of the CannaSys-Colorado outstanding common stock was converted into a total of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, which then constituted 57.70% of our total issued and outstanding common stock. Our shareholders prior to the Merger retained an aggregate of 4,398,088 shares of common stock; we had no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock.
Due to the CannaSys-Colorado shareholders controlling us after the Merger, CannaSys-Colorado was considered the accounting acquirer. The transaction was therefore recognized as a reverse acquisition of us by CannaSys-Colorado. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are those of CannaSys-Colorado for all periods prior to the Merger.
In connection with the closing of the Merger and after meeting the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), on November 12, 2014, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State that: (i) changed our name to CannaSys, Inc.; (ii) increased our authorized capital stock to 80,000,000 shares, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock; (iii) authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock; and (iv) made other modernizing, nonmaterial changes to our articles of incorporation. Changing our corporate name to CannaSys, Inc. was a condition to the Merger transaction. The name change better reflects the nature of our principal business operations, and it became effective in the OTC Markets on December 2, 2014, when FINRA announced the name change. We have also received a new CUSIP number and our trading symbol was changed to “MJTK.”
Nature of Business
We provide technology services in the ancillary space of the cannabis industry. We are a technology company, and we do not produce, sell, or handle in any manner cannabis products.
As the current cannabis industry grows and gains momentum around the country, technology needs for the industry have been largely underserved. Our focus on this niche element of the industry creates many efficient and profitable tools for both industry owners and consumers.
Our business consists of four products currently in the marketplace—BumpUp, CannaCash, CannaTrade, and CannaLIMS—that together serve the entire cannabis industry from grower-wholesaler to end-user.
BumpUp is a content resource management platform or customer retention software designed to allow cannabis industry operators the ability to automatically market and target customers in the regulated cannabis markets. The BumpUp technology allows for strong social media ties and an electronic messaging system for cannabis industry operators to effectively and efficiently communicate with the customers with the goal of customer retention. The program is designed to comply with regulatory requirements. The program allows for a mobile application that is geographically restricted to be available only in states that allow safe-access laws to cannabis.
F-18
CannaTrade is a market-style matching system designed to serve legal medical and recreational cannabis and hemp markets. CannaTrade and its sister product, ExchangeHemp, bring the industry a secure, efficient, real-time wholesale product supply exchange and inventory management solution for connecting licensed wholesale buyers and sellers of all types of cannabis and non-cannabis products, while providing business logic to enhance governmental and regulatory compliance frameworks.
CannaCash is an affiliate-based membership rewards loyalty program designed specifically for the cannabis industry. An early version of CannaCash was introduced to the market in July 2014. The CannaCash points program and future gift-card/prepaid-card programs will be free for all cannabis customers and affordable for dispensaries and providers. CannaCash gift cards will be available in multiple denominations and will be redeemable at participating CannaCash locations. The CannaCash gift mechanism will allow for strong social media ties and an electronic solution for providing gift cards and other products to friends and family. CannaCash includes an internal control mechanism designed to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to individual retail outlets and customers based on applicable state licensing information and customers’ addresses. We plan to integrate our CannaCash solution with our BumpUp loyalty rewards solution for a complete end-to-end consumer experience.
CannaLIMS provides a specific Laboratory Information Management System to regulated testing laboratories in regulated cannabis states. This software-based laboratory and information management system is designed specific to the cannabis industry and laboratory testing. The software features workflow and data tracking support, flexible architecture, and laboratory specified reporting output. We have currently released this product to the marketplace and are aggressively marketing to cannabis labs in regulated markets.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2015.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control, and preventing and detecting fraud. Our system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that: (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) valid transactions are recorded; and (3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements that present fairly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the respective periods being presented.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of CannaSys-Colorado, the accounting acquirer, from the date of its inception on October 4, 2013, and refer to the consolidated entity after taking the Merger transaction into effect. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP permits management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-19
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, and we do not use derivative instruments.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
· | Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
· | Level 2: | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability. |
· | Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Equipment | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years |
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that we incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no potentially dilutive shares.
F-20
Stock-based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.
We account for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Revenue Recognition
We follow ASC 605-10-S99-1, Revenue Recognition, for revenue recognition. We will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments: (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt”; (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods; (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans; (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans; (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated; and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.
We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Based on that review, these pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Income Taxes
We follow ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes-Initial Measurement, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
F-21
We adopted ASC 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we have an accumulated deficit of $2,623,095 at September 30, 2015, had a net loss of $864,265, and used cash in operating activities of $706,339. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
While we are attempting to increase operations and revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of debt and equity financing. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate increased revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate increased revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate increased revenues.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment, stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation consisted of the following:
September 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | $ | 8,403 | $ | 8,403 | ||||
Less: accumulated depreciation | (2,519 | ) | (416 | ) | ||||
Fixed assets, net | $ | 5,884 | $ | 7,987 |
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, was $2,103 and $0, respectively.
NOTE 5 – SOFTWARE LICENSE
Effective February 12, 2015, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Loyl.Me, an established provider of automated marketing and customer relationship management software. The licensing agreement allows us the opportunity for perpetual and exclusive rights and ability to provide the cannabis community a convenient, cost-effective, and streamlined technology that is widely used in the non-cannabis industry. The technology is being branded as “CannaCash BumpUp.” The term of the agreement is perpetual; therefore, no amortization is being recognized. However, the value of the license will undergo an annual impairment test as required by ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The agreement requires nine installment payments of $25,000, each to be paid with a combination of cash and stock, and 8% of revenue from the use of the licensed technology. As of September 30, 2015, we had paid $205,000 in cash and stock towards the total cost of the license.
NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Item 17. Undertakings
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) | 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | 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. |
II-8
(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) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
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:
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(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. |
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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
